Yuan Ming waved his hand, withdrawing the prohibition and followed with Hua Zhi.
They passed through a series of corridors, heading deeper underground, encountering numerous fleeing Wu Yue Sect disciples along the way. But seeing the Black Robed Elder, they all panickedly saluted, calling out "Elder Pan Ji".

The disciples often fled as if pardoned, few daring to ask further questions. Only one Black Robed Elder, sensing that something was amiss, stepped forward to inquire. The result, naturally, was Yuan Ming unhesitatingly blasting him away with a punch.
In less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, they had made their way downward to a spacious and empty underground hall.
