Chapter 1257: Chapter 1256: Deep Well
The three Elder Zu were dumbfounded.
They initially thought that the Venerable Master’s cultivation might have already surpassed the Divine Realm, unfathomable in depth. However, if the three of them joined forces, they should be able to put up a fight.
But they never expected that a young man like Yang Chen would have such terrifying power.
So effortlessly, he sent one of them flying with a slap, causing significant internal injuries, showcasing the immense depth of his strength.
This feeling was like a Grandmaster easily dealing with a Martial Arts Realm martial artist.
Too terrifying!
Could it be...
The three of them changed expressions.
They felt Yang Chen’s cultivation should have already broken through the Divine Realm, reaching a deeper level of cultivation.
Thinking of this, their eyes burned with passion.
As cultivation improves, longevity also extends to some degree.
For example, these three Elder Zu are already over two hundred years old.
Sometimes, the longer one lives, the more they desire to keep living!
They have now hit a bottleneck, their lifespan reaching its end, wanting to progress further is harder than ascending to heaven, they can only watch helplessly as they edge closer to death each day.
The only way now is to break through the Divine Realm and enter another level, extending their lifespan.
Despite years of exploration, they achieved nothing.
Now, their hope could only be pinned on the Venerable Master!
Seeing Yang Chen now, their internal desire grew overwhelmingly!
"I just want to know the whereabouts of my other brothers! You must know, if you do, please tell me! Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to scrutinize certain individuals carefully!" Yang Chen said coldly.
The face had already been given to them, the Yun family wasn’t sincere, Yang Chen had no need to continue exchanging pleasantries.
With their current personnel and strength, they could easily sweep through the entire Yun family, no problem, Yang Chen was still willing to personally ask, providing them an opportunity.
If they don’t cherish even this...
Yang Chen would do anything for his brothers!
Everyone fell silent.
Earlier, they thought Yang Chen was very strong, aimed at Second Young Master Yun.
Perhaps his strength was even greater, a rare Grandmaster.
But now, he might not be a Grandmaster, possibly a Divine Realm expert, even... an ultimate expert beyond the Divine Realm!
The Yun family at the scene descended into deathly silence.
Elder Zu reacted a bit quicker, reprimanding Yun Haotian, "At this point, what are you still hiding!"
"I..." Yun Haotian wore a conflicted expression, unsure whether to speak or not.
"Speak!" Elder Zu stomped his foot in anger, appearing extremely anxious.
Right now, their hearts were at their throats.
The Venerable Master might be an expert surpassing the Divine Realm, and now there’s an additional Yang Chen, if they truly upset them, with a wave of a hand they could eradicate the Yun family! How could they not be tense, if things go wrong, the Yun family might end its lineage here!
Yun Haotian sighed helplessly, "They... they fell into the deep well, we... it’s a forbidden place!"
"What!" Elder Zu was also taken aback, a look of surprise on his face.
Yang Chen frowned, "Deep well? What is that?"
"This..." Elder Zu hesitated, clearly unwilling to discuss it further.
After a while, Elder Zu sighed, "The deep well is very dangerous; once inside, return is impossible. If you insist on going, I will have someone take you there, but if you go in, any accident, our Yun family won’t be responsible!"
"Naturally!" Yang Chen took a deep breath, "Explain the situation, and we will investigate ourselves!"
Elder Zu nodded, addressed Yun Haotian, "Haotian, this matter is yours now!"
With that, the three Elder Zu left the hall.
At the moment, Yun Haotian resigned himself completely.
Now the Yun family was entirely caught by Yang Chen and his group by the throat, at their mercy.
With no other options, Yun Haotian personally led Yang Chen and the others out of the hall, heading towards the back mountain.
Yang Chen followed, his expression changing, frowning in thought.
Meng Po caught up, whispered: "What is this deep well? We’ve searched all over Penglai Island, and never found any deep well!"
Yang Chen replied sternly, "Don’t rush, let’s get over there and see first!"
Meng Po nodded slightly, she and Purple Cultivator heightened their vigilance.
Heading towards the back mountain, approaching the Yun family’s forbidden Forgetful Spring.
Arriving at a large rock near the spring, Yun Haotian pushed the rock, unveiling an underground tunnel.
So, there was an underground tunnel hidden here, causing Meng Po and others’ expressions to change.
They had been here before, checked thoroughly, yet never detected a tunnel here.
Entering the tunnel, lighting torches, they followed the stone walls down.
Initially, it was narrow below, and as they moved downward, it became wider.
Gradually, they could hear the roar of waves.
Gradually, stalactites began to appear within the cave, with peculiar, marvelous formations.
Deeper inside, the walls sparkled, evidently filled with glistening minerals.
After roughly twenty minutes of walking, they could feel the presence of sea breeze!
The road ahead suddenly narrowed drastically, becoming rugged and difficult.
The path narrowed further, eventually reducing to a gap only wide enough for a single person.
Exiting the gap, they discovered it was the bottom of a cliff!
Surrounded by sea water and reefs.
Yun Haotian took a few steps, his face darkening, halted, telling Yang Chen, "We’re here!"
"Here?" Yang Chen looked around, unable to see any deep well.
Yun Haotian pointed at some stones washed smooth by the waves: "In between those stones!"
Yang Chen frowned slightly, glanced at Meng Po.
Meng Po understood, quickly stepped forward, leaping onto the stones to look.
Seeing the scene surrounded by stones, Meng Po was equally surprised.
After a while, she turned back to Yang Chen and nodded slightly.
Yang Chen went over too.
Standing atop the stones, looking down, Yang Chen’s expression changed.
In the midst of these stones lay a stretch of empty sea... but! Below the sea was indeed a dark abyss!
It looked like an unfathomable deep well; the entrance wasn’t large, about five meters wide, the depths unfathomable, the bottom ominously dark!
Yun Haotian said beside him: "In an hour, the tide will rise, submerging here until it reveals again at noon tomorrow; it’s hard to discover."
Yang Chen frowned, asked: "How deep is it here?"
Yun Haotian shook his head: "Don’t know, as no one has ever entered and returned, anything falling inside disappears completely!"
Yang Chen frowned again, eyed Yun Haotian, "You’re saying those who drifted with Yang Chenxi all fell in here?"
