Chapter 1634 - Walking on Thin Ice
The deeper the two went, the stronger the rebels they encountered became.
Guided by the memories Chen Fan had extracted from Huang Wei, the two navigated the underground passages with practiced familiarity. Along the way, they crossed paths with several rebels whose expressions were icy and cruel. One even seemed pleased at the thought of others suffering.
Even among the rebels, survival was a ruthless competition.
Chen Fan and Ling Fei arrived at a palace hall in the mountain’s core. A Half-step Immortal King came up and said sternly, “You’re here? The leader is very unhappy today. You’d better explain why you failed.”
The two nodded with grave expressions. This expert didn’t pay much attention to them, assuming they were only afraid of being punished for failing their mission.
The two took deep breaths and entered the palace hall.
According to Huang Wei’s memories, they kept their heads lowered and crossed the threshold before bowing deeply. “Greetings to Leader.”
They didn’t have to kneel. After all, both of them were eighth-level Immortal Platform realm experts and had their own pride.
A wise leader would not humiliate subordinates of their caliber.
“Hmph!”
The two of them heard a cold snort, which transformed into sonic waves that rattled their eardrums and sent their robes fluttering violently.
“Please forgive us, Leader! We really tried our best. That Featherlight disciple was simply too stubborn. He chose death over surrender!” Chen Fan hurriedly explained himself, his tone extremely fearful. He couldn’t risk exposing himself here.
