All of them continued their journey after that.
Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao did not bother about the consequences. They still wanted to follow right behind Chen Xiaobei no matter what would happen. As everyone else was not powerful enough to protect themselves, they had no choice but to do the same. Fortunately, this underground river was far less dangerous than the world outside.
Although the Asura Hunter-spirits might have sounded dangerous to most, however they were no threat at all to Chen Xiaobei. They would all be killed if they had the guts to try attacking Chen Xiaobei. As for those like the Salamander King, they posed no threat as well. The second they tried to come close, Chen Xiaobei would instantly kill them and turn them into food.
With that being said, their journey underground seemed pretty smooth sailing thus far. The only problem they faced was Yin Qi. Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti had G.o.dly items protecting them thus they were safe from those Yin Qi.
As for the rest, their Spiritual Energy were slowly tortured by the Yin Qi around them. They all looked like they were suffering from some severe illness. That casued them to take a lot breaks in between the journey. In the end, they took a total of five days to reach their destination. Chen Xiaobei did not waste a single second within these five days. While they were resting, Chen Xiaobei would make use of the time to improve his cultivation. Chen Xiaobei’s acc.u.mulated training time in total amounted to 50 hours!
Ding!
[Cultivation: Middle phase of Celestial stage. Lifespan: 70 years. Health: 115,000. Combat power: 93,300!]
In these five days, Chen Xiaobei also managed to increase 5,000 points to both his combat power and health. This sort of training speed had never happened to anyone before. A normal Jianghu elite would need to spend at least a few years to match with Chen Xiaobei’s speedy improvement.
….
“I think that’s the Jiangjue Ancient City just up ahead of us!” said Chen Xiaobei once he spotted something different up ahead.
A few days prior to this, everyone had been through countless underground tunnels. All those tunnels were not that big and were built alongside the river. I was obvious that these tunnels were where other smaller countries got their water sources from.
As they reached the end of the tunnel, they came to a 300 meter wide underground lake! Around the lake, there were at least hundreds of tunnels connecting to other smaller countries. And above this giant underground lake was none other than giant kingdom itself; the Jingjue Kingdom that was far more superior to others.
“We are finally here! This is awesome!”
“I think we should be able to salvage all those treasures that Queen Jingjue left behind! I’m totally looking forward to it!”
“I don’t really care about all those treasures! All I ever desire right now is just to leave this desert safely! I suppose all of us will be able to return home soon!”
Everyone was filled with excitement.
“This is great… This is awesome… Soon, we will be able to know the truth behind it!”
Luo Puti was just as excited as them. The moment she stepped foot in the Black Desert, she had a strong feeling that she would be able to find the answers that she wanted at Jingjue Kingdom.
She wanted to know why her parents left her behind when she was just a kid.
She wanted to know why were there zero traces left behind.
She wanted to know why she could not find out a single thing about them.
She wanted to know whether they were still alive or not.
Finally this time, all her questions would be answered.
“Guys! It’s too early to rejoice about it! And I’m going to this only once. The road ahead is going to be extremely dangerous! For those who do not want to die, its best to stay here. I will escort you out of this desert when I return later!” said Chen Xiaobei.
All their excitement died down when Chen Xiaobei told them to wait there.
“Okay! I will listen to what Mr. Chen says! I’m going to wait here! Knowing that I will be able to head home soon, I will definitely not risk losing my life here!”
“That’s right! All of us should listen to Mr. Chen! Everything that we had just been through has proved that believing in Mr. Chen will keep us all safe!”
“You are right about that! Let’s just stay here! The last thing we want is to bring trouble to Mr. Chen!”
After travelling with Chen Xiaobei for few days, Chen Xiaobei was like a leader to most of them. Whatever that he said right now was far more influential than Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei now took charge, the both of them finally broke their silence.
“Chen Xiaobei! Your leaders.h.i.+p is going to stop right here! We will complete the journey without you! We’d be more than delighted to send you to h.e.l.l right now!”
“Chen Xiaobei! When you die, I will take good care of Luo Puti! Don’t worry! Hahaha…” said Ding Ding’ao while licking his lips.
Everyone was shocked by what they both just said.
“What do the both of you mean?! Are you repaying Xiaobei with hatred instead?”
“I’m not trying to repay his kindness with hatred! This son of the b.i.t.c.h acted like a leader in front of us just now! He is the one that caused Master Ao to lose his arm! And he even s.n.a.t.c.hed our Spiritual Item from us! I will never ever let him off the hook just like that!” said Zhou Xiaokun.
“What a load of bulls.h.i.+t! Ding Ding’ao lost him arm because he refused to listen to Chen Xiaobei’s advice! And the two of you gave him your Spiritual Items because you wanted to keep your lives! Remember that the two of you were the ones who begged Chen Xiaobei to save you!”
Upon hearing that, Zhou Xiaokun rendered speechless. He was just trying to make up something as an excuse to kill Chen Xiaobei.
“Luo Puti! Save your breath! Doesn’t matter what you say, we will kill him today no matter what! As for you, just let us have fun with you! I can promise you that you will get to enjoy your life to the fullest! But if you continue acting this way, I will make sure that you will not live long! I will torture you to death!”
“You… You are a shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Luo Puti was so furious that she wanted to slap the both of them.
If it were not for Chen Xiaobei, the two of them would have long died of exhaustion or being mauled by the evil spirits. And now they wanted to kill Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti. They were definitely worse than animals. Upon witnessing all of that, all the disciples of Kunlun Faction and Xingxiu were not pleased by what their masters did. Each and every single one of them had intentions to side with Chen Xiaobei to go against them.
