1844 Archaeology Association Chairman
Min Yu raised his head. He looked at the man Huo Yao was asking about and replied. “The chairman of the Archaeology Association.”

Huo Yao was a little surprised to hear this.

The chairman of the association had come to join them and kept a low profile while he was at it. This underground palace must have high archaeology research value then.

She did not continue probing. She simply hoped she could find what Aunt Tong needed in there.

Time passed bit by bit. An hour later, the large ancient-looking door was finally open.

It felt as though they were in a completely different world. After going through the large entrance, they could see a magnificent structure resembling a palace. It was floating in mid-air and could only be accessed by a long winding suspension bridge.

Under the floating underground palace, a lake with very clear water could be seen. Other than a few tall statues standing around, nothing else was in sight.

Everyone was blown away by the sight before them.

No one expected that technology existed to construct a floating structure like this over a century ago.

Something changed in Huo Yao’s eyes as well.

She had seen images of this before among the holographic images in the clan.

After snapping out of their shock, the archaeological team checked to ensure that things were safe before they quickly ran toward the suspension bridge.

The underground palace had been built a long time ago, so the suspension bridge was covered with rust, but it was still functional.

It was not easy to access the palace using the suspension bridge since it only consisted of two metal chains.

Without a strong nimble body, they would probably fall into the lake below the palace.

Min Yu took the safety gear Zhuo Yun handed him and attached it to Huo Yao’s waist naturally. “The lake is filled with mercury. The moment anyone falls in, it’s impossible to save them. When you cross the bridge, be careful.”

Huo Yao raised her brow. She wanted to say she did not need the safety gear. When she saw the serious look in his eyes, she decided not to reject the offer. “Got it.”

Min Yu glanced at the archaeological team who had started moving across the bridge. He squeezed Huo Yao’s hand and said, “I’ll go behind you.”

“Okay,” acknowledged Huo Yao casually.

Before long, they crossed the bridge without any accidents.

“This palace structure is simply incredible. There isn’t a single support point, but the entire thing can float in mid-air.” One of the professional surveyors on the archaeological team could not help but exclaim in astonishment.

Prof Min adjusted his spectacles and looked excited. “The place was probably built using mechanical engineering and magnetic fields along with some strange reactions that can’t be explained by science alone. If we can figure out how these work, it will be a major contribution to mankind.”

The chairman had remained silent the entire time. He slowly went up the steps and headed toward the palace.

When the others saw this, they stopped talking and quickly followed up.
Huo Yao stood where she was motionless. She looked toward the second floor in a daze.

Min Yu saw her looking, so he raised his head in the same direction. Other than structure, nothing could be seen. He could not help asking. “Yaoyao?”

Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and veered her eyes. She turned to look at Min Yu. “I’m going to the second floor. You cover me later.”

Min Yu looked into Huo Yao’s eyes. She looked more serious than usual. He nodded without asking anything. “Okay then.”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao paused briefly and got Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi who were still outside to wait. “Get ready.”
