Chapter 843: Has the Underground Threat Disappeared?

Solidified darkness mist once again spread toward the real world, and Su Han's Observation Color sensed an emotion of resentment within it.

But he could understand the other's feelings.

The Four Saints of the Underground, three of whom died at Su Han's hands, and the last one had his corrupted dark force replaced by Su Han with the Evil of This World, becoming Su Han's enforcer.

If the corrupted dark force truly had will, it would be strange for it to accept this.

This was equivalent to four of his top generals being directly or indirectly annihilated by Su Han.

Su Han's expression remained blank.

His response was to clench his fist tighter, then punch straight in.

Boom—a sharp crack—and the void collapsed again.

"I'll let you off this time! When I fuse the Space Gem and sever the connection between the real world and the Underground, I'll send you and the entire Underground world to annihilation!"

Su Han's voice was icy, and his second punch, laced with terrifying power, pierced through the Underground, already pushed beyond its limit.

This time, the Underground tunnel could no longer even勉强 maintain itself—it collapsed outright.

Terrifying spatial energy waves surged outward from the Underground.

This force was immensely terrifying; if it truly erupted, destroying the entire Jin Ling city would be the bare minimum.

Yet Su Han reversed his palm and forcibly suppressed the energy fluctuations within a ten-meter radius centered on himself, not a single iota leaking out.

Ram watched silently beside him, seeing all conclude, then exhaled softly, a hint of tenderness appearing in her eyes.

When the energy storm subsided, Su Han withdrew his hand.

At this moment, not only was the seal on Jin Ling's Underground gone, but the Underground itself had vanished entirely.

Li Hongtian, standing nearby, saw this and his eyebrows twitched several times; even though he had long known Su Han's strength was immense, witnessing this still shook his spirit.

"We should return now!"

Su Han appeared beside Ram, raised his hand, and lightly traced a pattern in the air—the magic array instantly formed.

"Indeed!"

A bitter smile appeared on Ram's face; she had once believed her own strength, having reached this level, could offer Su Han some assistance.

But after witnessing what had just happened, Ram realized Su Han's power far exceeded her imagination.

After a brief moment of disappointment, Ram regained her composure; even if she could not aid Su Han in battle, she was not deeply disheartened—after all, her duty was as a maid, and all she needed was to care for Su Han's daily life.

Just as Su Han was about to leave, Li Hongtian finally made up his mind and asked, "Su... no, Lord Su Han! Do you have any orders regarding whether we should station personnel in Jin Ling's Underground in the future?"

Originally, Li Hongtian had intended to call Su Han "Lord Su Sheng," but considering the three Juedian Sect masters beside him, he forcibly swallowed the word "Sheng."

Su Han paused, but did not turn around, "No need to worry!"

"Or rather, in the days ahead, the likelihood of Underground passages erupting... will be greatly reduced!"

The Underground beasts were already in chaos among themselves.

The original dark corruption source that might have threatened the real world had been severely wounded by Su Han's punch.

Su Han genuinely believed now that the threat of Underground outbreaks was gone.

A look of astonishment appeared on Li Hongtian's face—he could not comprehend.

"... You haven't entered the Underground recently, have you?"

Su Han idly reached out to tease the Sacred King Zhu Que perched on his shoulder, studying the轮回eyes in its pupils, feeling the deep resonance between them, ready to issue commands at any moment.

He nodded slightly, satisfied.

The Sacred King Zhu Que, though having lost its immortal body after becoming his summoning beast, deprived of the corrupted dark force's support,

still possessed strength no weaker than Bai Hu Zi or Marquis Wo Ban.

It could absolutely become a powerful ally to Su Han.

"Indeed!"

Li Hongtian nodded; recently, the Underground had been waging war everywhere, utterly chaotic.

Compared to the old Underground, the current one was like the difference between peace and war.

Under these conditions, ordinary spiritual energy cultivators entering it would merely be walking to their deaths.

Thus, the real world hoped the Underground beasts would fight each other harder, while simultaneously adopting a conservative strategy—no longer launching reckless attacks on the Underground, merely observing.

"The Underground has undergone a transformation! The ancient Four Saints of the Underground have revived; three of the Underground Sacred Beasts were slain by me and my friend, and the fourth... now stands on my shoulder..."

Su Han paused slightly, his gaze deep, but ultimately chose not to elaborate.

"The current state of the Underground is chaotic—I can't explain it clearly in a moment! But if you don't want the same fate that befell those Sect Masters to occur on a massive scale, you should withdraw all human personnel stationed within the Underground."

That's all I have to say!"

Su Han shook his head, saying no more.

He stepped directly into the magic array.

Ram followed Su Han into it.

In the span of a breath, the magic array vanished.

Li Hongtian stood frozen in place, long after, finally processing Su Han's words, his voice trembling, "The ancient Four Saints have revived... and the thing Su Han阁下 grabbed earlier... was the Underground's Four Saints?"

Li Hongtian felt a wave of dizziness.

But quickly, he recalled Su Han's earlier words, his expression shifting several times, then made up his mind and began dialing.

"Hello, Old Zhang? It's me! I just encountered Lord Su Han—Lord Su Han advised us to withdraw all troops stationed in the Underground! Yes... the unrest in the Underground may be connected to Lord Su Han."

"You're the Beizhen Regional Governor—take charge of troop movements in the northern Underground sectors!"

"Grandmaster Xiao Ma? I just met Lord Su Han! Yes, you guessed right! The Underground in Shencheng is extremely dangerous—I know the garrison there consists of elites; pull them all out... observe the situation first, then decide future policy."

"Old Ma... you're still in Zijin City, right? I met Lord Su Han—he told us to withdraw the Underground garrisons... you say the Underground garrisons have already been pulled out? Then all the better."

"Just observe for a while!"

He made over a dozen calls in succession, notifying all high-ranking commanders guarding the Underground across China to withdraw their troops.

Li Hongtian finally put his phone back into his chest pocket.

Li Hongtian's expression was complex; he suddenly let out a bitter laugh.

"Although I also hope that Senior Su Han's strength grows as much as possible... this pace is simply too fast—even I find it hard to accept..."
