“The yin-yang energy is about to vanish, without a power source, the palace will naturally collapse!”
“Leave now, it seems this is my final resting place, but before I die, I have one request!”
“Speak!”
Xu Fei looked at Kawashima Ichio lying on the ground, waiting for him to continue.
“When you reach my homeland, if my family treats you with courtesy, I hope you’ll show mercy and spare them, even if it’s just one person!”
Xu Fei nodded, then swiftly fled the underground palace before it collapsed.
Though the palace was vast, Xu Fei’s speed was remarkable.
From Kawashima Ichio, he also learned that the main reason for the palace’s collapse was the depletion of the energy that sustained it.
Now, with the yin-yang energy in Xu Fei’s body harmonised and continuously generating new power, he had an abundance of energy.
Thus, Xu Fei released his yin-yang energy, barely managing to keep the underground palace from collapsing for the time being, at least until he could escape.
He did this because Xu Fei hadn’t forgotten his primary objective.
He had come to find Hell’s Ear, who had been kidnapped.
Now, as the new and true master of the underground palace, Xu Fei didn’t even need to use his clairvoyant vision, he located Hell’s Ear’s hiding place purely by instinct.
Within the labyrinth of chambers and passages in the underground palace, Xu Fei finally found Hell’s Ear, bound by vines and unconscious.
He gently patted Hell’s Ear’s face, but he didn’t wake.
So, Xu Fei inserted a needle into one of his acupoints, and under the sharp pain, Hell’s Ear opened his eyes and let out a loud yelp.
“What the hell, Major General, don’t you know that hurts?”
Hell’s Ear quickly pulled the silver needle from his arm, only then belatedly realising what was happening.
“Huh? Major General, when did you get here? Are you here to save me?”
Seeing the boy’s cheeky grin, Xu Fei scolded him irritably.
“Obviously! Why else would I be here if not to rescue you? Hurry up, this underground palace is about to collapse!”
Hearing this, Hell’s Ear didn’t dawdle and immediately followed Xu Fei through the same passage they had entered, escaping the palace.
During their escape, Xu Fei’s focus was so intense that he didn’t notice a streak of light slowly entering his ring.
When Xu Fei and Hell’s Ear reached the entrance of the underground tunnel they had initially used, Xu Fei withdrew all the yin-yang energy he had released.
The moment he did, the underground palace collapsed with a thunderous roar, as if an earthquake had erupted from the depths.
Xu Fei patted the stunned Hell’s Ear on the shoulder.
“Let’s go, what are you standing there for? Addicted to the view?”
But Hell’s Ear didn’t respond with his usual playful banter, instead, he turned to Xu Fei with a grave expression.
“Major General, according to the intel from Bai Zhan, the Red Buddha Society’s Buddha Robe Assembly has already begun!”
“What? It’s happening so soon? We need to hurry!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Fei didn’t hesitate, he and Hell’s Ear immediately left the Gong family, driving at breakneck speed to return.
Fortunately, the distance from Jinmen to the capital wasn’t too far, and with Hell’s Ear driving recklessly without slowing down, they made good time.
