Chapter 241: Underground Village

Xu Xiang walked to the stone gate and tried to push it open, but the stone gate remained motionless. Huan Yun looked at the huge door, and said calmly: "If you can push open this door, then you must be the strongest woman in our military academy."

Xu Xiang glanced at her and said, "At least we should try it."

Huan Yun looked at the stone door and said, "Um. You are right."

A few seconds later, Huan Yun began to press the stone door. Xu Xiang looked at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

Huan Yun didn’t answer her, and kept pressing on the stone door a few more times. In the next second, the stone door shook slightly and opened. Looking at the opened door, Xu Xiang was a little surprised.

Huan Yun looked at the opened door for a second, then turned to look at Xu Xiang with a smile. She put her hands on her hips and said triumphantly: "How is it? Am I smart or am I smart?"

Xu Xiang looked at her and gave Huan Yun a thumbs up. She then asked, "What did you just do? How did you open the door?"

Huan Yun pointed at the door and said, "I just solved the simple puzzle engraved on the door."

Xu Xiang looked at the door and saw some symbols without any meaning. Huan Yun looked at her expression and said, "I know sometimes people think I’m stupid, but I am still someone who ranked second in the Strategic and Political Department. In our department, we care more about our brains than our muscles."

After saying that, Huan Yun looked at the thick fog behind them, then at the darkness in front of her and said, "It seems that we can only go in this direction."

Xu Xiang looked at the darkness in front of her, then took out a bottle of luminous liquid and a pair of chopsticks. After smearing one end of the chopsticks with luminous liquid, Xu Xiang handed a chopstick to Huan Yun, and then put the remaining luminous liquid back into her space. Holding the glowing chopsticks, they exchanged a glance, then walked into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Mu Yucheng was standing on the roof of a straw house in a small village located under the fox demons’ cave. He calmly looked at the happy faces of the villagers below. He looked around and saw some farmlands in the center of the village.

There is a big hole above the farmlands, through which sunlight can shine down to the crops on the farm. He observed the villagers for a while, and found out that they did not seem to be threatened. On the contrary, they seem to be living here out of their own will.

Mu Yucheng thought for a while, then jumped off the roof. Then he approached a pair of elderly who were working on one of the farmlands. Seeing the old man and old woman were busy harvesting vegetables, Mu Yucheng stood on the side and patiently waited for them to finish their work.

Ten minutes later, the two elderly straightened their waists and patted their waists lightly. Wiping his sweat with a small towel hanging around his neck, the old man looked at his old wife and said, "The harvest this time is not as good as before. This summer will be even more difficult for us. As temperatures rise, it will be hard for the crops to survive."

His wife poured him a cup of water, handed it to him, and said, "Although this summer will be difficult for us, fortunately Lady Hu is a good person and willing to help us. If she didn’t save us back then and help us settle here, we would have died long ago."

"Looking at the current situation outside, we are really lucky that our village is located underground. The temperature in summer will not be too hot and some crops can still survive." His wife poured herself a glass of water as she spoke.

The old man drank the water, then returned the empty cup to his wife and with a smile on his wrinkled face, he said, "You are right."

When the old man turned around to pick up the bamboo basket, he almost died of a heart attack.

"Heaven!" The old man screamed in fright.

With his hand covering his heart, the old man looked at Mu Yucheng who was standing there expressionlessly. Seeing that the clothes on his body were made of high-quality materials and the sword hanging from his waist looked extraordinary, the old man knew that this young man who was standing in front of him was not someone he could offend.

The old man smiled at Mu Yucheng and asked, "Young man, why are you here? Are you looking for relatives?"

Mu Yucheng glanced at the radish in the bamboo basket, then looked at the old man and said, "That Lady Hu... Who is she?"

Hearing Mu Yucheng’s question, the smile on the old man’s face disappeared. Seeing Mu Yucheng standing there without expression on his handsome face, the two elderly looked at each other for a moment, then looked at Mu Yucheng warily.

The old man thought for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Why do you want to inquire about Lady Hu? Who are you?"

Mu Yucheng clasped his fists and said, "My name is Mu Yucheng. I am the chief disciple of the Tian Jian Sect."

When the two elderly heard that he was a chief disciple of the Tian Jian Sect, their expressions changed instantly.

The old woman suddenly ran away in panic.

"The disciple of the immortal sect is here! The disciple of the immortal sect is here!" She shouted as loud as she could.

Mu Yucheng was startled by the old woman’s loud voice, but his expression remained calm. Seeing Mu Yucheng looking at his wife, the old man picked up the sickle and said tremblingly: "We... We are not afraid of you! I... If you dare to do anything to us, Lady Hu will definitely avenge us!"
