He told the Fang family to stay outside and wait for the others, and then Chen Chang'an went into the underground palace alone.

The underground palace is very large. As soon as you enter the underground palace, there is a huge, very spacious square in front of you.

The square appeared to be several kilometers in size, but it was very spacious.

At the end of the square, there were three passages. Chen Chang'an did not hesitate and chose one of them to fly into.

The passageway wasn't very large, but it was about five meters high. However, every so often, a branching path would appear in the passageway.

What made Chen Chang'an most uncomfortable was that his senses were blocked in this underground palace, making it impossible for him to use his senses to perceive other passages or where these side paths led.

Left with no other choice, Chen Chang'an could only opt for the most rudimentary method: to go and investigate in person.

"Empty room?"

"Or... was it all moved out?"

Chen Chang'an entered several forks in the road, and finally found that each fork led to an empty room, completely bare.

But if they're useless, why create these empty rooms in the first place? Or perhaps, there was something here before?

"Damn, why does this feel like a tomb?"

"Stolen?"

"Did the Du family do it?"

wrong!

Before the Du family appeared, people from the five clans, or rather, many people, had already discovered this place long ago.

Were these the people who emptied this place? Or was it discovered and emptied by the first person long ago?

With this in mind, Chen Chang'an quickened his pace, entering more and more side paths and discovering more empty rooms.

They're all empty!

It's as if this underground palace was created without any items inside, and was simply built as a standalone display.

"So weird?"

Chen Chang'an frowned slightly and decided to return the way he came and enter the other two passages to see if the situation was the same.

What puzzled Chen Chang'an even more was that with so many people coming in, he hadn't run into a single one of them.

Where did these people go?

Three days later, Chen Chang'an emerged from the underground palace.

open!

It's so spacious!

Although there were many branching paths in the passageway, they were all empty rooms with nothing inside.

At this moment, the people of the five clans had already arrived, and when they saw Chen Chang'an appear, they quickly surrounded him.

"I remember when I first went in, weren't there other people outside?"

"Why are you the only ones left?"

After Chen Chang'an came out, he found that apart from the people from the five clans, everyone else was gone.

"Some went in, and some left."

"Elder Chen, what's the situation inside?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Chen Chang'an voiced his discovery and the questions that had been nagging at him.

After Chen Chang'an finished speaking, the people of the five clans frowned slightly, exchanged glances, and seemed to be thinking as well.

"I knew about the existence of the empty room, but we haven't gone into much detail about it."

"I think it was like this when I first came here."

"Yes, that's how I remember it too."

"Could it have been an empty room all along?"

"Elder Chen, besides finding an empty room, did you find anything else?"

Where did the others go?

"Also, do those intermediate-level advancement beads really exist?"

When asked by the crowd, Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"I didn't go too deep into it either."

"I haven't even met a single person."

"Now that you're all here, let's go in and see what's going on."

There were three passages in total. This time, Chen Chang'an did not choose one of the two side passages, but chose the one in the middle.

"How about it?"

"Do you still feel that sense of oppression?"

After flying for a while, Chen Chang'an asked a question out of curiosity.

"No."

"Strange, why don't I have this feeling this time?"

"Could it be because of the distance?"

"No, I remember that when I got this far before, I was a little hesitant to go any further."

"Could it be because Elder Chen is in front?"

"This……"

"Elder Chen, why don't we go up and give it a try?"

Although Chen Chang'an had some guesses and answers in his mind, he still let them go forward and try it.

"Huh, I really don't feel that oppressive feeling anymore."

"Strange, what could be the reason for this?"

The members of the five clans all looked at Chen Chang'an with puzzled expressions, but when they found that Chen Chang'an's expression did not seem strange, they couldn't help but be curious.

"Elder Chen, do you know the reason?"

"I don't know, but it's not surprising that you don't feel any pressure."

"Don't forget, quite a few people have already entered here before us."

"If things are the same as before, then these people will not be able to go any further."

"Let's go and see what secrets are hidden behind this underground palace."

Chen Chang'an didn't waste any time with words, but instead led everyone to fly along the passage.

Although we can't use our senses here, it's still a bit strange that we haven't encountered a single person after traveling so far.

"Why is this road so long?"

How long have we been in here?

"It seems like... about three or four days, but I'm not entirely sure."

"We're not flying at full speed, but we're not slow either. It's been three or four days, and we're still just wandering around in the tunnel?"

"The outside is a maze, but is the inside of this underground palace also a maze?"

"But there's only one road, and we haven't entered a side road."

Chen Chang'an and his group continued along the main passage at a considerable pace, but after three or four days, they still hadn't made it out and hadn't encountered a single person.

"continue!"

"I refuse to believe there's no end to this place!"

Although his perception was useless, Chen Chang'an was indeed always paying close attention to everything around him.

There are no random illusions or formations here.

It's just an ordinary passageway, so ordinary it couldn't be more so. There's only one explanation: it's really long! Extremely long!

Five days, ten days...

It took Chen Chang'an and his group a full month to finally see the end of this road.

"Damn it, did they have to make a passage through an underground palace this long?"

"Although I can see the end, I feel that it will probably take another day to get there."

"This underground palace is too strange. Who built such a long passageway in their underground palace?"

"Elder Chen, what... are you thinking about?"

At this point, Chen Chang'an was even more skeptical of the information from the outside world.

Who deliberately spread this message?

What is the intention behind this?
