Chapter 1524

Jia Clan

The bamboo tube was hollow, and when it stopped moving, a flight of stairs appeared in the center of the tube, leading downwards.

"This is the entrance. We'll reach the underground city if we go down. My clan is in the underground city." Jia Nan smiled at Zhuowen.

As he spoke, Jia Nan and Gatha took the lead and entered the depths of the bamboo tube. Zhuowen and Lhos did not hesitate and followed closely behind them.

The four of them walked in the dark bamboo tube for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn before landing on the ground.

Only when he stepped on the ground did Zhuowen discover that the ground was actually made of hard limestone slabs. Afterwards, he looked around and discovered that the walls around him were actually made of limestone slabs as well.

It was as if Zhuowen was not underground at this moment, but in a palace.

On the two sides of the neat walls, a luminous pearl was embedded at every interval to illuminate the darkness of the passageway.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a stern shout rang out. Not far from the passageway, a young girl led a group of fully armed people and stared at Zhuowen's group of four vigilantly.

"Young master Jia Nan, young miss Gatha, is it really you?

I didn't expect you to return. "

A linen-clothed old man walked out from behind the young girl. At this moment, the old man stared at Jia Nan and Gatha with an excited expression as his entire body trembled.

The linen-clothed old man's actions caused the young girl in the lead to reveal a surprised expression. Afterwards, the young girl asked in a strange manner, "Elder Yan, you wouldn't be talking about big brother Jia Nan and big sister Gatha, right?

Didn't they go to Jia Shen Academy to study? "

The linen-clothed old man was extremely excited. He quickly walked up to Jia Nan and Gatha and sized them up. After that, he sternly said to the people behind him, "Put down your weapons. These two are young master Jia Nan and young miss Gatha."

With that, the fully armed people all let out a sigh of relief and put down their weapons.

Elder Yan's prestige amongst them was rather high. Since Elder Yan had said so, they naturally would not disobey his orders.

"Elder Yan!

We've returned. "

Jia Nan and Gatha both smiled and spoke rather excitedly.

"Are you really big brother Jia Nan and big sister Gatha that the elders in the clan have been constantly talking about?"

The young girl had flashed over to Elder Yan's side. Her beautiful large eyes blinked as she stared at Jia Nan and Gatha.

"You're Jia Lian, right?

It's been so many years of age. "Gatha stroked the young girl's hair and spoke in a doting manner.

"Jia lian?

So you're the little bug that used to follow Sister Jia Sha around?

You've grown so big in the blink of an eye. "Canaan chuckled.

"I'm not a follower," Jia Lian said coquettishly. Her appearance was extremely cute.

Jia Nan cracked a smile and said, "That was in the past, but not now. So many years have passed since I last returned, and you've grown so big and beautiful!"

. "Jia Lian giggled when she heard that. She was extremely happy.

At this moment, Elder Yan's gaze became serious. This was because he discovered that he was actually unable to see through Jia Nan and Gatha. In fact, he was unable to see through Zhuowen and Lhos behind them.

Elder Yan had a rather high status in the clan. He was a high level Emperor as well, but he was unable to see through the cultivation of the four people before him. This meant that all four of them, including Jia Nan and Gatha, were stronger than him.

"Young master Jia Nan, miss Gatha, what are your cultivations now?" Elder Yan could not help but ask.

Jia Nan coughed and blushed slightly, "I'm sorry. My cultivation isn't very high. I'm only a Half-Saint."

With that, Jia Nan glanced at Gatha, Zhuowen, and Lhos behind her. His face grew even redder as he felt rather ashamed.

He was the weakest amongst the four of them, so it was very normal for him to feel ashamed.

Hiss!

When Jia Nan said this, Old Yan and the people behind him all sucked in a breath of cold air.

The Half-Saint Realm was an unreachable existence to them. After all, even the strongest elder of their clan didn't possess a cultivation as formidable as the Half-Saint Realm. However, Jia Nan was only a junior, and he hadn't been away for more than 75 years.

His cultivation had risen so quickly in such a short period of time. It was truly beyond their expectations.

"Big Brother Jia Nan, are you really a Half-Saint?

Then aren't you even stronger than Elder Yan? "Jia Lian was rather surprised as well. She pulled on Jia Nan's sleeve and blinked her large eyes as she spoke.

Jia Nan was rather embarrassed and said, "I'm not strong at all. Little Sister Gatha has already become a Saint. She's a Void Saint now."

Hiss!

Everyone in the surroundings inhaled a breath of cool air in unison when Jia Nan's words were spoken. They looked towards Jia Sha in succession as if they were asking the latter if Jia Nan's words were true.

Gatha was slightly embarrassed from being stared at by so many people, but she still nodded and said, "Yes!

Big Brother Jia Nan is right. My cultivation has indeed reached the Void Saint Realm. "

Elder Yan and the others fell into silence again. In the end, Elder Yan said excitedly, "Good, good, good!

Sending the two of you to Jia Shen Academy was the right choice. Jia Nan, Gatha, our clan really didn't misjudge the two of you. "

Gatha said rather shyly, "It's all thanks to Elder Yan and the other elders' love for sending us to Jia Shen Academy to further our studies. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to have such achievements."

Jia Nan nodded, and then he pulled Zhuowen to Elder Yan and said with a smile, "Elder Yan, let me introduce you. This is Big Brother Zhuowen. The reason our cultivation has risen so quickly is actually mostly because of Big Brother Zhuowen."

Jia Nan chuckled and said, "Big Brother Zhuowen is also a Saint. His cultivation is already at the Profound Glimpse Saint Realm, and he's very strong. He defeated a Saint at the Sky Yin Saint Realm!"

As soon as he said that, Elder Yan's right hand trembled. He stared at Zhuowen in disbelief and said, "Profound Glimpse Saint Realm, and he defeated a Sky Yin Saint Realm expert?

This … "

This time, Elder Yan was really shocked. Zhuowen didn't look old, but he was already at the Profound Glimpse Saint Realm.

Moreover, what was even more unbelievable was that this boy had defeated a Sky Yin Saint Realm expert at the Profound Glimpse Saint Realm. He had practically defeated a Sky Saint Realm expert at the Profound Glimpse Saint Realm. How was this possible?

"Elder Yan, there's no need to doubt it. Big Brother Zhuowen is a monstrous genius who has comprehended seven types of laws."

Jia Nan said again. Elder Yan's mouth slowly opened. He was almost completely numb, and he couldn't even close it.

Every word that Jia Nan said was too inconceivable to Elder Yan, but he also knew that Jia Nan wouldn't play tricks on him.

Taking a deep breath, Elder Yan hurriedly reached out and held Zhuowen's hand. He said rather enthusiastically, "So it's Young Master Zhuo. Jia Nan and Gatha are indebted to Young Master Zhuo for taking care of us. That's why we have our current achievements.

"It's our honor to have Young Master Zhuo visit our Jia Clan today. And who is this?"

As he spoke, Elder Yan looked at Lhos. His gaze was full of courtesy. He could feel that Lhos gave him a great sense of threat. He was sure that this bald, burly Lhos was definitely an existence more dangerous than Zhuowen.

At the same time, Elder Yan was extremely puzzled. He was both surprised and delighted that Jia Nan and Gatha knew such a powerful existence.

"He's Lhos. He's my friend!" Zhuowen introduced casually.

Naturally, he wouldn't say much about Lhos. After all, even if he told Elder Yan about Lhos's origins, Elder Yan wouldn't know.

Elder Yan nodded politely at Lhos. Then, he walked to Jia Nan and Gatha's side and said, "You've come back just in time. Elder Song is about to die. He wants to see the two of you one last time."

"What?

Elder Song is about to die?

How is that possible? "

Jia Nan and Gatha's expressions changed drastically. Elder Song was the closest elder to them in the clan. Moreover, both of their parents had died when they were young. It was Elder Song who had raised them.

Moreover, the fact that they were able to study at Jia Shen Academy was inseparable from Elder Song's recommendation.

"Come with me first. Last time, the curse in the ravine appeared too abruptly. At that time, Elder Song and a team from the clan were investigating outside and happened to encounter this wave of curse."

"In order to escort the others underground, Elder Song blocked the curse by himself. In the end, his life was in danger."

At this point, Elder Yan's eyes were full of sighs. Then, he led Jia Nan, Gatha, and the others into the depths of the tunnel.

After reaching the end of the tunnel, Zhuowen discovered that the other end of the tunnel was an extremely spacious underground world.

The ground was still made of limestone slabs. The surroundings were like a small city, with several streets. On both sides of the streets were rows of buildings, with pavilions and towers in picturesque disorder.

Above the underground world hung a large luminous pearl. Its intense light illuminated the dusky underground world.

There were many people on the streets. The entrance of Elder Yan and the others caused quite a commotion. After all, Elder Yan's reputation in the underground world was quite high.

Elder Yan led the way, with Jia Lian following behind. They walked straight to the center of the underground world. There was an ancient-looking pavilion there.

"Elder Yan!"

Outside the pavilion, the guards all lowered their heads and bowed respectfully when they saw Elder Yan. Then, they made way for Elder Yan and the others to enter the pavilion.

Elder Yan completely ignored the guards and led the group inside. After arriving at the hall, Elder Yan politely said to Zhuowen and Lhos, "The two of you, Jia Nan and Gatha have some private matters to attend to. I hope that the two of you can sit here for a while. If there's anything that's lacking in hospitality, I hope that the two of you can forgive us."

Zhuowen waved his hand and said, "Since it's an urgent matter, Elder Yan, you don't have to bother with the two of us. Just bring Jia Nan and Gatha in."

"Excuse me!"

Elder Yan cupped his hands in respect. He didn't dare to treat Zhuowen poorly. After all, this was a terrifying monster at the Glimpse Profound Saint Realm who had grasped seven types of laws.

Coupled with the powerful Lhos by Zhuowen's side, the two of them could directly slaughter the Jia Clan. How could he not be cautious?

After speaking, Elder Yan cupped his hands again and led Jia Nan and Gatha into the depths of the pavilion.

Zhuowen knew that Elder Yan had probably brought Jia Nan and Gatha in to visit that so-called Elder Song.
