Deepest beneath the earth, inside a secret chamber constructed from countless arcane barriers, a phantom cursed viciously, "Arrogant! How dare that brat bully me like this!"
"Enough. The same words every time. Do they help?" a languid voice said with some disdain.
Dozens of phantoms appeared inside the secret chamber, like rats hiding in the deepest recesses, terrified of being discovered.
The secret chamber was extraordinarily cramped. Even a child would have struggled to curl up inside it.
And this chamber lay only a few hundred thousand meters below the surface, beneath such a vast expanse of earth.
To find such a tiny secret chamber beneath the earth-
Even they, who had once been immortals, could not have found it!
Yet now, someone in the world could!
That person was Ouyang!
Ouyang's true essence had dispersed throughout the earth, and nothing within it, however minute, could escape his eyes.
They had nearly been discovered by Ouyang.
Ever since Ouyang's true essence had completely scattered throughout the earth, they had been playing cat and mouse with him.
Ouyang was like that cat. He seemed to be dozing, but none of them knew whether the cat had already spotted them!
Fortunately, as former immortals, once they had rained down into the Mortal World, they controlled its reincarnation!
They could appear anywhere beneath the earth!
Even if Ouyang discovered and found them, they could escape in an instant!
But the feeling of being toyed with like mice by a cat filled them with humiliation!
Who were they?
Immortals who had once sat high in High Heaven, receiving the offerings and faith of countless living beings!
Yet now, a wet-behind-the-ears brat was chasing them all over the place underground.
Such humiliation, in all those millions of years... it seemed to have happened once before
