Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss

Chapter 152: Cavern Under The House

Many years passed.

The flowers and trees in the courtyard became lush.

The front and back of the house were overgrown with greenery.

The first and second floors were hidden behind dense branches.

Only the third floor, which was made from wood, exceeded the height of the surrounding shrubbery.

When viewed from a distance, Li Mu’s house looked like a small farm cottage. action

The newly arrived orcs would not even pay attention to this house.

The orcs where had arrived earlier however, were all staring at the new orcs.

They wouldn’t have time to care about Li Mu!

Time ticked by…

Three floors underground, all the sulfuric acid, magnesium and gasoline that were refined by Li Mu had been piled up into mountains in the system space.

“Checking in!”

“Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in at the Land of Demon Slayer. You have gained 900 years of power.”

“Hmm… The reward for checking in is increasing, not decreasing. That’s interesting.”

Li Mu’s expression became solemn.

When the checking in rewards increased, it meant that this place was becoming important.

Boom!

As soon as he finished his thought, the earth trembled again.

It was much more significant than the previous two times.

At that exact moment, all the major forces from the mainland had their eyes on Fenglan.

“Is there going to be an expert True Realm master in Fenglan?”

“Is there for the legendary Demon King’s inheritance?”

“Even if we can’t get this inheritance, we can’t let the Fenglan forces get it.”

In the Fox’s Territory…

A group of masters from the Fox Clan sat together.

The atmosphere was rather solemn.

“Baimei brought us news that lately, there have been a few strangers spying on them. Many of them aren’t from Fenglan.”

“We have been in Fenglan for many years but we don’t have a single expert or True Realm master yet. Masters from other regions will definitely decrease our chances of getting the inheritance.”

“It looks like there’s no chance for us to get the inheritance this time.”

“Originally, we wanted to conceal this matter from the other clans for as long as possible. Now, it seems like we have to think of other ways. We’ve already experience three earthquakes, and the people from the Land of Demon Slayers haven’t even arrived yet.”

Sigh!

“Maybe we can cause some chaos and take advantage of the situation,” suggested an elder.

“That’s a good idea, but we still need to find an entrance to ensure that we won’t be left out.”

“If we create enough confusion, it won’t be hard to find an entrance. But how can we create chaos?”

The group of elders from the Fox Clan frowned again.

In terms of strength, their Fox Clan was not considered to be very strong compared to all the others clan in the Fenglan. Their strengths lay in planning and strategy.

“Since we can’t hide the news, why not spread it?”

“That’s a really good way of creating chaos. But if more clans come, then we have a lower probability of getting the inheritance.”

“Then, let’s add something else to the rumors as well so that we cause animosity between the clans!”

…

In the house on the mountain, Li Mu’s body was shaking involuntarily.

“The vibration is getting stronger and more frequent.”

He cast out his divine consciousness to find out what was going on in the surrounding villages.

He saw many villagers had ran out of their houses and were standing in the open space. They all looked dazed.

Even the villagers had felt it.

That was how intense this last shock had been.

Li Mu continued to search around with his divine consciousness, but he still couldn’t find anything.

After a few days, the house shook again.

This time, it was even more obvious.

The people in the nearby villages panicked.

After a while, the earthquake stopped.

There was a small crack on the wall of Li Mu’s house.

Even the beasts living in the wilderness on the mountains had panicked.

As the emotions of the hidden orcs fluctuated, their location was revealed to Li Mu.

“So many people are secretly observing them!” Li Mu noticed with his divine consciousness.

The orcs in the mountains were getting excited.

“It seems like the people from the Land of Demon Slayers are about to appear.”

“It turns out that the legend is true!”

“We are about to watch a good show!”

“The Demon King’s Inheritance will definitely be mine.”

…

Five more earthquakes occurred within the next two years.

Each time, the quakes were stronger and lasted longer than the last one.

A lot of villagers were planning to evacuate.

Multiple cracks had appeared on the wall of Li Mu’s house.

The windows that were made of crystal were also broken.

Li Mu packed up all his precious belongings.

Boom!

One day, when Li Mu was looking through the classic literature in the basement, the table started shaking.

Boom!

Then, cracks started to appear on the ground.

Before Li Mu had time to react, the ground opened up and he through the floor into the ground.

A huge cavity had appeared beneath the house.

“Oh my! The day before yesterday, my divine consciousness didn’t find anything strange in the ground. How did a huge pothole appear here today?”

Li Mu’s used his divine consciousness to explore further.

Strangely, his divine consciousness couldn’t see further than ten meters. There seemed to be a barrier blocking him.

He stood up and pushed the table and chairs to the back to the room, Li Mu walked towards the barrier.

He reached out and touched it.

There seemed to be some force blocking his hand from reaching further.

“An enchantment?”

Li Mu forced his body through the barrier until he eventually broke through.

It was dark inside.

The further he walked in, the more resistance he felt.

After walking for three miles, Li Mu stopped as he encountered a Killing Formation.

It wasn’t that Li Mu didn’t dare to go any further.

But it seemed like the space was unstable. If he continued to move forward, it might cause the barrier to collapse.

Li Mu went back to his house and there, he wanted to make sure that his guess was correct.

He poured prenatal qi into the enchantment, little by little.

With the influx of the prenatal qi, many things seemed to appear within the enchantment.

But his divine consciousness still couldn’t penetrate it.

“It would take at least another ten years for the enchantment to be stabilized.”

Li Mu took out a prenatal stone from the system space.

When he had exterminated the Bat Clan, he had stored hundreds of thousands of prenatal stones that he had obtained from the caves.

“What if I artificially ripen this enchanted barrier with prenatal qi from this stone?”

He held out his hand and pushed the prenatal stone into the enchantment. He watched closely as the prenatal qi drained from the stone.

Li Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Whoosh!

Tens of thousands of prenatal stones filled the hole.

When he headed back to the broken third floor, Li Mu found that the building had become slanted.

The crack in the wall was even wider than before.

If it was someone else’s house, the house would have already collapsed.

He cast out his divine consciousness again.

In the mountains behind him, the orcs had just begun fighting.

“Now it’s the time to figure out what is going on in the Land of Demon Slayers.”

Whoosh!

Li Mu’s figure appeared in front of a human youth.

At that moment, the young man was surrounded by several werewolves.

He was covered in blood.

If the werewolves attacked again, the young man would certainly die.

Realizing that his end was near, the young man had stopped resisting, although there was still a defiant gaze in his eyes.

Just then, another figure appeared in front of him. Before he could even see the figure in front of him clearly, he was lifted into the air.

They quickly fled from the mountain.

Several werewolves stared at the human who had just disappeared from the spot.

Before they knew it, the werewolves were chopped into many pieces and their blood spilled down the mountain.

“Thank you senior, for saving me!”

Back in Li Mu’s room, the young man immediately relaxed when he saw that Li Mu was also a human.

“Tell me what the hell is going on in the Land of Demon Slayers!” Li Mu tossed a pill to the youth.

Over the years, Li Mu had read many books, but information about the Land of Demon Slayers was very rare.

Since a person from the human race was here, he could clarify all his doubts now.

“Yes, senior!” The young man took the pill and stuffed it in his mouth after quickly thanking him.
