Below the rock strata, the Ink Silk Clone slowly unfurled, extending over ten tendrils to dig and navigate through the rock.
After the collapse, the underground palace had sunk to an extreme depth. Li Ang directed the Ink Silk Clone to survey the surroundings and found several unmanned outposts the garrison had left outside the underground palace.
They seemed largely unaware of the Sword Immortal Tomb. Coupled with the frequent earthquakes, they hadn't invested much manpower or resources into excavating this area. It was simply too deep; if another collapse occurred, rescue would be impossible.
This, however, gave Li Ang an opening. The Ink Silk Clone quickly found the remains of Jiao Cheng's subordinates and eliminated all traces. It also navigated the twisted, deformed corridors to find the stone box that had initially contained Mo Si.
