Chapter 1348: Mysterious Woman
On another mountain op of the ringed mountain range outside the Inner Abyss, Liu Zongyang and Kongxiang Xu were standing side by side. They were looking at was the rolling black mist in the distance.
Behind Liu Zongyang and Kongxiang Xu, there were still 7 Celestial State demons. Judging from their clothes, 4 were from the Liu Family and 3 were from the Kongxiang Family.
Behind these people, there were still 4 figures in gray robes standing far away. These four people were shrouded in gray light with their faces concealed.
The 4 of them remained motionless as if they were 4 puppets, exuding a faint corpse aura.
After a while, Kongxiang Xu glanced at the 4 of them.
Since Liu Zongyang proposed to join forces, they had been acting together with the Liu Family, but just a few days ago, these 4 people in gray robes suddenly joined the Liu Family’s squad.
Liu Zongyang claimed that these people were arranged by the Liu Family to enter Demon Abyss in another family, but Kongxiang Xu had a vague feeling that these 4 people were by no means ordinary demons.
“Is Elder Xu interested in those 4 friends?” Liu Zongyang asked lightly with a flash of his eyes.
“Hehe, these 4 friends have been silent all day long since they joined us a few days ago, so I’m quite curious.” Kongxiang Xu chuckled.
“I know what Elder Xu is thinking, but Elder Xu can rest a.s.sured that these friends are the hidden forces that my clan prepares to deal with the central imperial. Since you and my clan join hands, I will never harm you. Elder Xu You don’t need to be so on guard.” Liu Zongyang said with a soft sigh.
When Kongxiang Xu heard the words, he smiled noncommittally without saying.
“It should be less than a month before the opening of the Demon Abyss Tower. We don’t have to wait here blindly. It’s better to find a safe place and recuperate for a while.” Seeing Kongxiang Xu’s expression, Liu Zongyang had to change the subject.
Kongxiang Xu nodded. A moment later, they flew away in a direction away from the Inner Abyss.
A long time after the group left, in a dense forest several miles away from them, a yellow figure walked out from a wave of ripples. It was Ouyang Ming.
“Phew, I didn’t expect to meet those members of the Kongxiang Family here again. Fortunately, I have the five-smoke miasma given by Senior Qing Ling to hide my presence.” Ouyang Ming murmured to himself.
Ouyang Ming looked a little disheveled at the moment. His clothes were bloodstained. It seemed that he had suffered a lot on the way to the periphery of the Inner Abyss.
However, there was no sign of fear in his expression. He looked in the direction of the Inner Abyss with a hint of excitement.
As long as he could get the Heaven Earth Thunder Ring, he could get rid of the demonic will in his body.
After dispelling the hidden danger, he would try to return to the Middle Sky Continent and find Sha Chuer.
As soon as Ouyang Ming thought about this, he stretched his hand into his arms unconsciously and took out a piece of white crystal, which contained the image of a girl in a white robe. It was Sha Chuer.
This was Sha Chu’er’s image that Liu Ming sealed in the crystal with water mirror technique.
Ouyang Ming looked at Sha Chuer’s face, which was almost identical to his wife’s, then a hint of love appeared in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head and put away the crystal.
He glanced around, then he chanted. A layer of five-color smoke emerged from his body, then he dashed into the distance.
This five-color smoke didn’t emit the slightest aura when flying, which seemed to be a high level treasure.
“By the way, those demons standing with the Kongxiang Family just now seem to have the surname Liu. Could it be that they are related to Mr. Liu…” There was a low murmur from the five-color smoke, then it disappeared without a trace.
…
A few days later, the Gaohe Family and Old Man Jackdaw finally arrived at the outer edge of the Inner Abyss. They seemed a little tired as if they had just experienced a big battle.
“The closer we get to the Inner Abyss, the more powerful the demonic creatures really are. I didn’t expect to meet a group of rumored poison scorpions.” Old Man Jackdaw looked back into the distance with lingering fear as he said.
Of the demons who entered the Demon Abyss with him, there was only 1 person left. The others were all dead on the way.
As for the Gaohe Family, apart from losing 1 person in the cave of the Sky Cry Demon Lord was located, there were still 3 people following Gaohe Yan at this moment. However, one of them was injured.
The so-called poison scorpion was one of the most poisonous demonic insects of the Thousands Demons Continent in ancient times. It was small in size but ferocious in nature. It was highly poisonous. It comes it comes and goes like the wind in the sand.
In addition, this scorpion was good at concealing aura. Even if the Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse could be injured if he was caught off guard.
This poison scorpion once caused endless disasters in the Thousands Demons Continent, which made people talk about it. However, they were exterminated by the demon powerhouses of the ancient time. They did not expect such an extinct creature to appear in the Demon Abyss reappeared.
“This poison scorpion has been extinct for a long time. I didn’t expect that we would encounter it here.” Gaohe Yan’s expression was not good either.
Now there were only 6 people left in the team of 10 people, and one of them was seriously injured, which greatly reduced their power.
“Mr. Gaohe, what shall we do next?” Old Man Jackdaw asked with a hint of flinching in his tone.
“Now that we are here, how can we stop here? No matter what, we have to explore the Inner Abyss. According to the news from our family, there should be some time before the opening of the Demon Abyss Tower. Let’s take a good rest and recover first!” Gaohe Yan said decisively.
This trip to Demon Abyss did not get the treasure as expected, and he lost a Celestial State demon. If he went back with such results, he would be reprimanded by other Mystic Comprehending State elders in the family, and his status in the family would definitely drop. Therefore, he had to get some treasures in the Inner Abyss at the very least.
Old Man Jackdaw was stunned when he heard the words. His face looked uncertain.
“Mr. Jackdaw, are you really willing to back down now?” Gaohe Yan said flatly.
Old Man Jackdaw frowned, then he squinted fiercely.
…
On a cliff outside the Inner Abyss, there were 3 figures. The leader was a middle-aged woman with a cold complexion. She thoughtfully looked in the direction of the Inner Abyss.
If Liu Ming came again, he must remember that this woman was the cold-faced middle-aged woman who entered Demon Abyss before him.
However, the 2 people next to this woman were no longer the man and the woman, but 2 human-shaped puppets. 1 had a bright golden color and the other had a dark green color.
Although the 2puppets stood quietly by the side, their facial features were the same as those of ordinary people. Their eyes occasionally turned and looked around as if they were 2 living creatures.
There were a dozen of tall demonic creatures that had been disemboweled. Some corpses were torn in half. Their deaths were extremely miserable.
Among these demonic creatures, there were more than a dozen flat carca.s.s vultures, which looked a bit bigger than the one killed by Liu Ming, but they had also become corpses at the moment.
The middle-aged woman’s body was clean without the slightest trace of blood. On the contrary, the 2 puppets beside her were covered with blood. Obviously, these demonic creatures were all killed by the 2 puppets.
“So far, how many people have come near the Inner Abyss?” The middle-aged woman asked with a slight tilt of her head.
“Master Qi, according to my ink crystal disc, about 5 squads have already arrived near the Inner Abyss, the central imperial, and the 4 great families are basically here. He is also here.” The black puppet cupped its fist and said Said.
“That’s good!” The middle-aged woman nodded, then she continued to look at the black mist in the distance.
“Master, that person is very important in your plan. Do you want me to protect him secretly? If something happens to him, wouldn’t it affect the overall plan?” Another golden puppet said suddenly.
When the middle-aged woman heard the words, she frowned slightly and fell silent for a while.
The golden puppet exchanged glances with the black puppet, but they did not speak.
“By the way, Master, I still have something to report to you. That Liu Ming is also in the Demon Abyss. He has also come near the Inner Abyss.” The black puppet said.
The middle-aged woman was finally a little moved when she heard the words. She frowned and said, “Really?”
“Yes, that Liu Ming seems to have used some kind of technique to change his appearance, and his physique has also changed a lot. I didn’t realize his true ident.i.ty at first. When I activated the ink crystal disc before, I sensed his aura a little, which allowed me to confirm his ident.i.ty.” The black puppet said slowly.
The golden puppet on the side heard the word Liu Ming, and its eyes flickered slightly.
“Why would he be in the Demon Abyss too?” The middle-aged woman frowned and said to herself.
“Does Master think that the existence of this Liu Ming will affect the big plan? If so, I will go and kill him now.” The black puppet said faintly.
“No, the Demon Abyss Tower is about to open, so don’t create new problem for now. Just pay close attention to his actions.” The middle-aged woman said after thinking for a while.
The black puppet responded without speaking.
The eyes of the middle-aged woman flickered as if she was thinking about something.
…
More than half a month pa.s.sed quickly. The people from all forces were lurking near the Inner Abyss, quietly acc.u.mulating strength without any movement.
One day, the black mist above the Inner Abyss suddenly rolled violently, making a rumbling noise like sea waves.
Rumble!
An incomparably thick black light beam pierced through the black mist and rushed straight to the sky. A loud whistling sound was emitted from the black light beam. The surrounding s.p.a.ce emitted waves of ripples.
With the rise of the black light beam, the black mist in the Inner Abyss rolled and quickly dissipated, becoming somewhat thinner.
TL: Qing Ling is here too?
