Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 837 - 857: The Lost Immortal Palace_1

The underground river flowed swiftly and was utterly dark. Lin Chen held Gu Yuexi tightly in his arms, allowing their bodies to be carried downstream by the current.

Gu Yuexi was usually afraid of the dark, but with Lin Chen holding her, she felt an odd sense of calm, even a trace of joy from surviving a catastrophe.

It had been so long since they’d last seen the Red Dragon King. He probably gave up the chase.

Lin Chen was incredible!

He managed to wound the Red Dragon King and escape from his grasp!

No one, not even the Elder Taishang from the Cang Mountain, had been able to achieve this. Their Primordial Spirits could not even escape, and they had been completely destroyed. But Lin Chen had managed to escape with Gu Yuexi, and they were unharmed!

Gu Yuexi clung tightly to Lin Chen, as if she were embracing the whole world.

After an unknown amount of time drifting, their bodies suddenly felt lighter as they were washed out of the dark river and into a vast area around them where faint light filtered into the water from above.

Finally, daylight!

Lin Chen held Gu Yuexi and swam upward, finally breaking the surface of the water.

Although there was no sun visible in the sky, the light was bright and abundant. The scenery was beautiful and surrounded by dense trees. They found themselves in the center of a massive lake.

Lin Chen carried Gu Yuexi and flew across the lake, landing on a grassy area nearby.

"Let’s change clothes, eat something, rest a bit, and then explore this place."

"Okay!"

Gu Yuexi’s clothes were completely soaked, clinging tightly to her body, and Lin Chen couldn’t help but steal a few glances.

She was his woman, so why shouldn’t he look?

Gu Yuexi noticed Lin Chen’s gaze and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Would it not mean that she was beautiful and charming if she was being admired in such a way by the man she liked?

Gu Yuexi walked behind a cluster of trees and peeked her head out. "If you want to watch, Brother, just come and look," she teased.

Lin Chen’s face flushed slightly, and he waved a hand dismissively. "Hurry up and change, and stop teasing me. Be careful, or I’ll spank you."

Gu Yuexi giggled and said, "If it’s Brother, I don’t mind."

Lin Chen was speechless. When a woman started to act brazenly, there was little left for a man to do.

After changing clothes and eating together, Gu Yuexi finally had the time to express her amazement, "Brother, you’re incredible! I thought we were done for. I regretted dragging you into this perilous situation."

Lin Chen smiled bitterly, "It was just luck. Without that complex underground river, we wouldn’t have been able to escape either. After all, the Red Dragon King is probably one of the strongest people in this world. He single-handedly killed the Elder Taishangs of three top sects, which isn’t something that anyone can achieve."

Gu Yuexi observed the lake in front of them, "The water in this lake seems to be still..."

Lin Chen casually replied, "There are many branches of the underground river, and we might have just entered one of them. The main river does not flow here, and while this lake is connected to the underground river, it’s not downstream from it."

Gu Yuexi nodded in understanding, "So, we got lucky and were washed into this branch, or else we’d still be stuck in that pitch-black underground river, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Chen looked around, "Our luck is indeed good, but this place is too quiet. It feels abnormal; we might not have escaped the Fairyland yet."

"Quiet?"

Gu Yuexi looked around, surprised. "You’re right, it’s too quiet here. There’s no sign of life, and even the wind is absent. Where have we ended up?"

Lin Chen raised his head to observe the sky, "Let’s explore the surroundings. It’s better than being stuck in that pitch-black underground river anyway."

After resting for a while, they took to the skies, only to discover that an invisible barrier sealed the heavens and earth.

Lin Chen’s expression turned grave, "This seems to be some sort of special realm similar to a Secret Realm. If we can’t find the correct way out, we might be unable to leave."

"Brother, look over there!"

Following Gu Yuexi’s pointing direction, Lin Chen looked towards the mountain peak in the distance. An enormous palace could be seen, but it wasn’t visible unless one looked carefully.

"Let’s go and check it out; all our questions should be answered."

Even though exploring the unknown was potentially dangerous, Lin Chen had no choice.

They flew toward the palace and eventually reached the highest peak of the mountain range.

A solitary, colossal palace stood on the mountaintop. The entire palace seemed to be made of gold, and it was at least a thousand meters high. It was magnificent and resplendent. freewebnσvel.cøm

In front of the entrance, there was a stone tablet at least a hundred meters high. Four huge characters were inscribed on it.

Five Elements Immortal Palace.

The characters seemed like they were about to burst forth from the stone and take flight.

Gu Yuexi’s face changed dramatically, and she exclaimed, "This is the legendary Five Elements Immortal Palace! My god!"

Lin Chen curiously asked, "What is it?"

Gu Yuexi explained with a pale face, "The Five Elements Immortal Palace has been a legend since ancient times, left behind by immortals. It is said to contain the secret to ascending to immortality. Every time the Five Elements Immortal Palace appears, it causes a huge upheaval in the Barren Wilderness. Countless experts have entered the Five Elements Immortal Palace, but none have ever left alive..."
