“Giggle!”
The black silhouette stood in place, not moving at all.
However, around his body, there was a layer of cold and dark power that, without a sound, swallowed the two golden handprints that Mei Lanzhu had struck.
In the cave, all the power fluctuations, all disappeared.
Mei Lanzhu was slightly shocked, the other party’s cultivation was too strong, he could actually dissolve his palm power so lightly, he was at least an eighth-ranked Half-Saint, or even more powerful.
“Wow!”
Gradually, the black silhouette revealed its true form, stepping out of the darkness and arriving at the centre of the cave.
“Zhao Wulan!”
Mei Lanzhu felt very surprised and asked, “How could it be you? What exactly do you intend to do by sneaking into this divine Son’s cave?”
Zhao Wuliang revealed a smile and said, “This king is naturally here to co-operate with Your Highness the Divine Son.”
“Co-operate how?”Mei Lanzhu sneered.
Zhao Wuliang said, “Your Highness the Divine Son wants to get rid of Gu Linfeng, while this king wants to obtain the Rain Mio Blood Sword, so how about we each take what we need.”
Mei Lanzhu stared deeply at Zhao Wulan and laughed, “You are insatiable, fine, as long as we can get rid of Gu Linfeng, of course we can co-operate.”
“However, Gu Linfeng is, after all, one of the flag masters of the Phantom Word Heavenly Palace, and is even the disciple grandson of the Dharma King of the Sea Underworld, so if we make it too obvious and get found out, it will be very unfavourable for us.”
Zhao Wulan said with confidence, “The Endless Abyss is full of crises, and the Flag Masters that the Psi Character Heavenly Palace sends out on missions will fall so many or two every year. For Gu Linfeng to die while doing a mission is really nothing more than normal.”
“Oh!”
Mei Lanzhu came to have a few moments of interest, sitting back on top of the chair and asking, “So, how soon does the Infinite Flag Lord plan to send Gu Linfeng out on a mission?”
“Tomorrow.”Zhao Wuliang said.
Mei Lanzhu asked again, “What place?”
Zhao Wuliang said, “East of the Endless Abyss, Falling Wind Mountain, it is said that in recent times, blood beasts have been infesting there. This king will send Gu Linfeng to exterminate those blood beasts, so that he can practise his skills in the meantime, but if he dies in Falling Wind Mountain, he can only blame his cultivation for being too weak, no one else. Right?”
Mei Lanzhu smiled coldly, “Falling Wind Mountain, not bad, it’s a good place to bury Gu Linfeng.”
“There’s only so much that this king can do to help Your Highness the Divine Son, I hope that Your Highness the Divine Son will be able to get rid of Gu Linfeng in one fell swoop, so that he won’t always be in front of Your Highness the Holy Maiden to offer his favours.”Zhao Wulan laughed.
“A mere Gu Linfeng, if this Divine Son can’t even clean up after him, how can he still be worthy of being the Divine Son of the Blood God Cult?”
Mei Lanzhu stared coldly at Zhao Wulan and added, “However, Gu Linfeng’s body, surely carries a holy decree, in case he is allowed to escape it would be a big trouble.”?Mei Lanzhu sulked for a moment, and finally decided to bring some more men with him.
Thus, after Zhao Wuliang left, Mei Lanzhu summoned the four flag lords of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace at the first opportunity, summoning them to the cave, and began plotting the specifics of getting rid of Gu Linfeng.
Among the four Flag Masters who had been summoned by Mei Lanzhu, naturally, Zhao Shiqi was also included.
……
…………
Zhang Ruochen’s body was wearing the Meteor Invisibility Clothes and he was carrying the Greenwood Buddha Bead gifted by Master Indra, thus, without alerting anyone, he quietly and silently walked out of the Cangtian Valley and swept over in the direction of the Endless Abyss.
Coming to the top of a several hundred metres high hill, Zhang Ruochen stopped and said to himself, “It should be nearby.”
Zhang Ruochen stimulated his Heavenly Eyes and searched the ground, eventually locking onto a location.
“Boom!”
He slapped out a palm, striking a palm print that imprinted on the surface of the thick ice and snow.
In a flash, snowflakes flew all over the sky.
On the ground, a large pit several metres deep appeared.
At the bottom of the large pit, a strange cry came from the ground, and a black fat cat jumped out, like a fried hedgehog, and roared, ”Who? Who on earth is it that is disturbing this Emperor’s sleep?”
Zhang Ruochen stretched out a hand, grabbed out Little Black’s tail, lifted it upside down, and knocked it on the top of its head, saying, “I asked you to go to the Endless Abyss to find out the news of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, but how did you fall asleep here?”
“So it’s you!”
Little Black’s two round eyes, dripping and spinning, complained, “Why did you just come? This Emperor has been waiting for you here for five full days, waiting on the left for you not to come, waiting on the right for you not to come, waiting and waiting, and finally …… falling asleep! Zhang Ruochen, you let this Emperor down first, this Emperor has already probed into quite important information.”
Zhang Ruochen’s hand loosened.
Little Black fell straight down, and with a bang, most of his head was planted into the snow, and his four paws struggled vigorously before he climbed out again.
Little Black sat down on his bum and said mysteriously, “This Emperor has already been to the edge location of the Endless Abyss and discovered an important secret.”?”What secret?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
Little Black said, “In fact, this Emperor only learned of that secret after overhearing the dialogue between the two Flag Masters of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace. It is said that the Endless Abyss is divided into three gradients.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as he said, “What does that mean?”
Little Black raised both of his paws and began to gesture, saying, “The position we are in now is the ground. Jumping down from the ground into the Endless Abyss is not a direct fall into the ground, but rather, we will land on the first gradient of the Endless Abyss.”
Right at this moment, Xiao Hei dug out a pit on the ground with his claws, pointed at the bottom of the pit, and said, “It is said that cultivators who fall into the first gradient can still return to the ground through some means. Only, the environment of the first gradient is quite terrifying, there is a kind of living creature called a blood beast that survives there, and even if a Flag Lord level character arrives there, there is a possibility that he will fall.”?On Zhang Ruochen’s face, a joyful expression appeared as he said, “In other words, it’s very likely that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden simply fell into into the first gradient.”
Xiao Hei gently stroked the whiskers on his face and hummed, “With a soft body like hers, and a serious injury, even if she fell into the first gradient and wasn’t eaten by the blood beasts, she would probably have already fallen to her death.”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Are you sure that Endless Abyss really has three gradients?”
“Not sure.”
Little Black shook his head and added, “This Emperor has personally explored the edge location of the Endless Abyss once, and below the abyss, it is a complete void, so deep that there is no bottom, and there is no first gradient at all. Once one jumps down, it is likely to be a dead end.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression was very serious as he said, “Take me there, I want to explore the Endless Abyss myself.”
“OK.”
The little black man stood up, put his two claws behind his back, turned into a black wind, and rushed out first.
Zhang Ruochen also cast out his body technique and hurriedly chased after him.
About half an hour later, one person and one cat, finally arrived at the edge of the Endless Abyss.
The Endless Abyss was so vast and boundless that one could not see the other side of the river, standing at the edge of the abyss was like standing at the end of the earth.
The sky was full of black clouds, very dense, as if it was ink. The clouds were pressed so low that they were only tens of metres from the ground, making people feel quite depressed.
“What a bizarre place, the sky seems to be about to collapse at any moment, crushing all the living beings in the world.”
Zhang Ruochen looked up and only felt that the Saint Soul within his body was being suppressed by an invisible force, and was simply unable to leave his body and fly out.
Moreover, the operating speed of the Saint Qi in his body was less than one-tenth of what it was in its heyday.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen tried his spiritual power and found that it also suffered suppression and could only exert one-tenth of its power.
Xiao Hei hemmed and hawed, “Now, you know, how weird this place is, right? Once you jump, even if there is the so-called first gradient below, it is not something that an ordinary person can climb up.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “This place is somewhat similar to the Ghost God Valley in the netherworld, only that the gravity pressure in the Ghost God Valley comes from the divine Qi of the divine corpses. Here, however, it seems like the rules of …… heaven and earth have changed.”
“That’s right. Fundamentally this Emperor’s analysis is that the rules of heaven and earth are different from other places.”
Little Black added, “The holy qi and spiritual power that you cultivated in the Kunlun Realm, when you come here, you will only be able to exert at most one-tenth of your power.”
“Moreover, once you jump down to the Endless Abyss and reach the so-called First Echelon, the rules of heaven and earth there are expected to change drastically. Not to mention one-tenth of one’s cultivation, being able to exert one-hundredth of one’s cultivation is already quite remarkable.”
“No.”?Zhang Ruochen shook and said, “Although, the cultivator’s Saint Soul, Saint Qi, and Spiritual Power will be suppressed, the power from the physical body will still be able to explode.”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen’s palm emerged with a multicoloured light and struck the ground with a palm strike.
With a rumbling sound, the earth trembled violently.
The blood-red rock, cracked out a fine line, and immediately after, the ten layers, which were more than ten metres in circumference, fell downwards, 咵a la, into the endless abyss.
Before that, Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei stomped their feet, and with the help of that recoil force, they jumped to the ground tens of feet away, and did not fall down with the accompanying rocks.
Xiao Hei stared with a pair of wide eyes, somewhat jaw-dropped, and only after a long while did he let out a long breath, saying, “You fellow …… tsk tsk, with your Five Elements Chaotic Body, and having refined so much God’s blood, I’m afraid that your fleshly body is even stronger than that of some Saints.”
Zhang Ruochen once again walked to the edge of the Endless Abyss and looked downwards, sighing, “It’s just a pity that the Sacred Book Talented Lady is a Spiritual Power Cultivator, and the strength of her fleshly body is no different from that of an ordinary person, so I’m afraid that it’s going to be fatal once she falls down …….”?Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, was very firm, even though he knew that the Sacred Book Talented Lady was most likely dead, he still decided to go down and explore.
However, before that, he must make a trip back to the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace camp to make sure that the first echelon really existed.
Little Black said in a low voice, “Someone is rushing in this direction.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced backward, and indeed, he saw several blood-red silhouettes, darting rapidly in the direction of the Endless Abyss.
There was a very dense blood aura emanating from the bodies of those several figures, and even from a distance of dozens of miles, one could smell a faint smell of blood.
“How could it be the Immortal Blood Clan?”Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruochen immediately stirred up the power of the Meteor Invisibility Suit, wrapping him and Xiao Hei in it and disappearing to the edge of the abyss.
