<h4>Chapter 697: Underground Vige</h4>


    Just like a sieve, small holes appeared one after another throughout the mute’s body, simultaneously emitting ck smoke.


    Soon enough, he gradually became enshrouded by this dense ck smoke that spewed out from his body, blurring his silhouette.


    When Mo Lian happened to witness this scene upon jumping out from their, he instantly jolted in fright and swiftly bolted towards Qiao Mu, hugging her in his embrace. “What happened?”


    “What can happen to me.” Qiao Mu pursed her small mouth as she pointed at the mute, saying, “He’s the one in trouble.”


    The white snakelet weaved out of the ck smoke and flopped limply onto Qiao Mu’s hand, cutely rubbing against her fingers.


    Qiao Mu stroked its head. “Mo Lian, after the little white snake bit him, this person started emitting ck smoke. What kind of special ability or cultivation technique is this?”


    Mo Lian gazed deeply at the white snakelet.


    Yet the white snakelet was not to be outdone and raised its snake head, sweeping Great Lord Mo a contemptuous nce with its protruding eyes.


    “This is the dark energy of theherworld. It is one of the three extremely powerful mysterious energies beyond the five spirits. It hasn’t appeared in nearly a millennium, but I once read about it in a collection of marvels from the Upper Three Provinces. There was only a scant description regarding the energy of theherworld.”


    When the white snakelet heard this, it swayed its head as it gazed at Qiao Mu with a “praise me,mend me, pet me” expression.


    Qiao Mu was somewhat amused, so she petted its small head.


    “This energy of theherworld also has a peculiar power. Depending on how well the user can control the energy of theherworld, the user can manipte someone killed by this energy for a certain period of time.” Mo Lian exined.


    By this time, after the ck smoke dissipated, that mute had drooped his head and walked towards them, step by step.


    When he raised his head, his eyeballs were gray, and that long, snake-like forked tongue curled up as it slithered out of his mouth.


    “Demonic cultivator.” Mo Lian gazed at the mute gravely. “He’s already dead. Qiaoqiao, do you want to leave now, or go down for a look?”


    “Let’s go down for a look, we can let this person lead the way!” Qiao Mu’s eyes lit up.


    Mo Lian nodded. “Their links up to other ces underground. However, the paths lead into all directions, so if we didn’t have a guide, we would probably end up taking a roundabout way.”


    “Then what are we waiting for, let’s go.” Afterall, Qiao Mu was quite curious about this underground world.


    When the mute led the way from their to a ratherrge-scale underground vige, the two people couldn’t help but be taken aback.


    If not for the fact that they just so happened to encounter this mute crawling out from a crack in the wall, they would not have known that their underground led to ces elsewhere, especially this vige underground.


    Mo Lian’s eyes narrowed slightly.


    Such a vige appeared in a ce so near the Mo Kingdom capital.


    Before this, not the slightest rumor had leaked out about this ce, so this truly was a bit abnormal, which made him vignt.


    The mute brought them into the vige, upon which two burly men walked up with a smile and said, “Yo, you’ve returned. You’ve brought back two fatmbs so quickly? Not bad!”


    While speaking, the two people eyeballed this pair of fatmbs in astonishment.


    This graceful bearing and appearance, tsk tsk. If such a handsome man and beautiful woman were offered to the vige chief, then the mute, this punk, would definitely receive great des.


    The mute didn’t make a sound, not even the asional croaks that he would asionally make, yet no one noticed.
