"Are you joking? Where did this Pu YunChuan come from?"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Qing’s heart shook violently, and he saw the astonishment on the other person’s face, which didn’t look feigned at all...

Did the other person know something, or had they deliberately crossed through time? But in their understanding, Pu YunChuan... wasn’t supposed to exist?

Seeing Chen Qing’s shocked expression, the other person became even more puzzled, "I was about to ask you the same thing. Pu YunChuan has come? Do you know what happened to him..."

Bang!!

Without any warning, the attack came. Ao Zhen, who was on guard beside him, couldn’t react before she watched, wide-eyed, as Chen Qing was dragged away by a force!

Ao Zhen chased after him fiercely.

From the moment Chen Qing asked that youth for information, she had been extremely vigilant. With her vast experience, she could naturally guess that the other person was likely to act now; she just hadn’t expected that even with her vigilance, the other could still hurt Chen Qing!

What kind of monster was it?

Chen Qing hadn’t even had time to react before something symptomless burst from the ground and pulled him straight down into the depths!

Ao Zhen almost instantly recognized what that thing was...

"An Eastern Sea Youyun Jellyfish..."

Without a moment’s hesitation, Ao Zhen plunged down the hole right after it!

She was actually prepared for such a creature. The Eastern Sea Youyun Jellyfish was the most stealthy species in the Dragon Palace, and the strongest assassin in all the seas!

This creature’s vitality was fragile, and only with the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea providing vast amounts of spiritual energy with his dragon threads could it barely survive; they had to be extremely careful when reviving, otherwise the jellyfish’s frail body would be destroyed.

Its preservation and nurturing were exceedingly troublesome, but the advantage was its extremely high combat power!

The Youyun Jellyfish had the innate ability to hide its aura and shape, and even powerful Youyun Jellyfish could render outsiders invisible as well.

But even so, it should have been impossible for it to get past her and attack Chen Qing. Despite this creature’s exaggerated stealth ability, Ao Zhen was very sure that no Youyun Jellyfish could approach within a hundred meters of her undetected.

Yet, she had never imagined that such a mountainous city in the Southeast could have underground water sources extending this far?

The Youyun Jellyfish’s ability to hide its presence in water was far superior to that on land.

With its special talent and if there were layers of earth to separate them, it could indeed approach her without being detected.

However... for such a mountain city to have such underground water was unreasonable!

When she rushed down the tunnel, she was even more astonished!

Below Baiyun City, it was clear that work had been done, the underground was practically another world...

This mountain city... had such a project?

With no time to think further, Ao Zhen spread her dragon scales and quickly followed Chen Qing’s trail.

Meanwhile, Chen Qing, bound by the jellyfish, was shocked by his surroundings.

Such a vast underground project? What was going on?

How had he never heard of it? Moreover, what was the purpose of its existence? It couldn’t have been designed to target him from the beginning, could it? But that would have been too late.

At the moment, he was nearly paralyzed. The moment the jellyfish caught him, it paralyzed all his nerves.

As long as the jellyfish didn’t let go, he couldn’t escape, even with Ao Zhen-level attributes.

Chen Qing inwardly cursed his bad luck, wanting to warn Ao Zhen to protect that boy above, but he couldn’t utter a single word; he could only sense Ao Zhen’s presence rapidly tracking him.

"Who are you?"

Above, Jiang Xiaoling was retreating cautiously.

What’s going on? How could this mountain city possibly have underground water? The key question is, after that Chen Qing got dragged down, why did another Chen Qing appear?

"Shocked, aren’t you?" The other person said with a faint smile, "Please follow me," and reached out a friendly hand to Jiang Xiaoling.

"Who exactly are you? Why should I trust you?" Jiang Xiaoling swallowed hard and kept backing away.

"What else can you do if you don’t trust me?" the King of Qin said with a laugh, "Do you think you can resist, Corrector Number Forty-one?"

"You...," Jiang Xiaoling suddenly looked at the other person, who actually knew his code number?

"Let’s go, that jellyfish won’t hold Chen Qing for long," the King of Qin took a small step forward and instantly appeared beside Jiang Xiaoling, grabbing him and saying, "Let’s leave this place first before anything else."

The two of them moved away at an incredible speed, the King of Qin using a special technique, with water spurting out from beneath his feet at an extraordinary speed, almost rivaling the Divine Wind Technique, and this.

.. If Ao Zhen were here, he would certainly recognize it, this is the unique Water Escape Technique of the Eastern Sea!

"You must be the person Mister Hua Pi fears, aren’t you? Since you planned to find me from the beginning, why didn’t you make a move yesterday?"

"Because I couldn’t find you yesterday..

." the King of Qin said indifferently, "Mister Hua Pi controlled the most formidable Youyun Jellyfish of the Eastern Sea, its ability to conceal itself is too strong. If he wanted to hide you, I could turn Baiyun City upside down and still not find you. I could only wait for Chen Qing; the West Sea has the Dragon’s Breath Technique, the nemesis of the Youyun Jellyfish, only he could help me find you. "

"Is that so?" Jiang Xiaoling paused a moment before continuing, "Did you create this underground water? How did you do that?"

"It was an accident...," the King of Qin chuckled, "This is a mountain city, normally the water from the Eastern Sea couldn’t reach here, and the Youyun Jellyfish coming unnoticed to Ao Zhen on land was almost impossible, but quite unexpectedly, the Central Plains have underground passages, a vast Underground City, connected by an underground water channel.

With an Array to guide it, it is possible to directly channel the water from the Eastern Sea. "

"The Central Plains have an Underground City?" Jiang Xiaoling was startled, "Really?"

He read all the information, how come he had never heard of this?

"Don’t always trust the information in intelligence reports," the King of Qin said, looking at him, "This world is alive, and so are the people in it, everything can change. Just like this Underground City, it was actually built by me."

"You?"

"Back when I went to seal the divine statue, I wasn’t sure if it would be successful, and the method I used was quite extreme.

If I failed, it would instantly trigger the end of the world, so I needed a backup plan.

That’s why I built the Underground City, just in case the worst happens, at least some seeds could be preserved. "

"Sealing the divine statue... are you Number One?" Jiang Xiaoling suddenly grasped the situation.

More than twenty years ago, there was a last piece of information that came through, it was Number One who sealed the divine statue!

"Number One, huh..." The King of Qin’s eyes went distant as he looked ahead, "It’s been a long time since I last heard that title..."

"Are you really Number One?" Jiang Xiaoling asked excitedly, "Since you’re still alive and remember everything, why haven’t you made contact with the higher-ups?"

"Because I couldn’t make contact..." the King of Qin shook his head and gave a wry smile, "You should remember, this kind of cross-dimensional technology cannot be abused, so the only tool to make contact with the higher-ups was mine."

Jiang Xiaoling nodded; connecting to this game world was a very dangerous thing, the Big Data City could not withstand a second invasion!

"That thing was originally engraved on my spirit. Every time I am reincarnated, that tool would reincarnate with me, marked on my newly born body. But this time, something unexpected happened..."

"What kind of accident?" A feeling of unease surged in Jiang Xiaoling’s heart.

"My reincarnation this time was not normal; two souls entered the reincarnation cycle together, and entered the same body!"

"Is that even possible?" Jiang Xiaoling looked at the other party in amazement, having never heard of such a thing.

"He told you his name was Pu YunChuan, right?"

"Yes... Could it be?" Jiang Xiaoling suddenly looked intently at the other person.

"That’s exactly what I mean..." the King of Qin gave a bitter smile, "The situation is very complicated and dangerous this time. Once he realizes his true identity or, let’s say... those Correctors realize their actual situation, I fear our mission would really be in jeopardy."

"Then... where is that tool?"

"It’s on him!"

Jiang Xiaoling: "...."
