Chapter 1485: The Protectors
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
No one outside the Three Great Forces knew the exact location of the Martial Field. The Three Great Forces had been trying very hard to keep it a secret.
All of the Sovereign Descendants were transmitted into there and then transmitted back in the same way.
The disciples who had left there scarcely mentioned the conditions of the Martial Field, so not many people in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts knew a lot about it.
It cost Jiang Chen a great fortune to get information about the Martial Field’s location.
It was in a river at the intersection of the Middle River and the South Sea.
Jiang Chen and Xiao Nuo had some findings as soon as they arrived.
Jiang Chen relied on his knowledge of wards, while Xiao Nuo counted on her Venerable Sovereign’s strength.
Waves were surging upstream of the river. Water splashed and tumbled, flowing into the ocean in the end.
“Let’s start.”
Xiao Nuo said.
“Okay.”
Jiang Chen took out his formation disk and jumped into the water. The great resistance did not affect him much. His protective energy jar split the water.
Soon, Jiang Chen drew the conclusion.
As they had imagined, the Martial Field was a World of Meson. There was an opening between it and the Realm of Divine Martial Arts, through which people could come and go.
At the moment, this opening was sealed off by various confining manners and a ward.
Jiang Chen was almost attacked as he approached.
As a result, he came back to the water surface and went back to the air to tell Xiao Nuo about the situation.
“Let me handle it.”
Xiao Nuo nodded. She did not think it was a big problem.
However, when she was about to start, Xiao Nuo suddenly looked into the far distance.
Jiang Chen did not need to ask her what was wrong because he had also sensed three surprisingly strong energies approaching.
At the same time, some thick iron chains pierced through the water surface from the river to lock Jiang Chen and Xiao Nuo. Much of the water splashed into the air.
“Divine Chain to Tie Demon!”
Jiang Chen was shocked. He seemed to realize what kind of place the Martial Field was.
“Don’t worry. I’ll let you go inside first.”
Xiao Nuo was going to act anyway. The strong energy split the river.
“Hold on! Don’t act on impulse!”
To her surprise, Jiang Chen stopped her.
“Oh?”
Xiao Nuo looked towards him, confused.
“The Demonic Abyss could be in the Martial Field.”
“Really? Are you sure about it?”
Xiao Nuo was startled. Despite the rich experiences as Red Cloud Venerable, she still turned pale when she had heard the mention of the Demonic Abyss.
The Demon used to be one of the races living in the Black Yellow Great World.
The current Wizard, famous for their strength, was nothing compared to the Demon.
The Demon had existed since the preliterate times. They gave the G.o.ds of that age lots of headaches.
When those G.o.ds still existed, the Demon could not do much, since they had been suppressed.
When the calamity that led to the disintegration of the Black Yellow Great World happened, the G.o.ds also left. Then the Demon rose again, planning to rule all of the other races.
After the preliterate times, the other races had been fighting the Demon from the start of the ancient times to the Era of Heroes.
In the end, the righteous defeated the evil. The Demon was eliminated.
The Alien Battlefield outside the Nine Realms used to be one of the battlefields where the war with the Demon took place.
Besides, the Demonic Abyss was the defeated Demons’ tomb.
The other races forced the Demon into the abyss, thinking that would resolve the problem once and for all.
However, the abyss turned into a farm, where dreadful Demons were born.
Fortunately, the G.o.ddess of Empyrean appeared at that time. She suppressed the Demonic Abyss. She turned it into a World of Meson and sealed it off with the Divine Chain to Tie Demon.
“The Three Great Forces are using the Demonic Abyss as the place for Sovereign Descendants to take adventures. Are they insane?” Xiao Nuo complained.
“They should have cleared the place.”
Like the ancient relics in the West Wildness, many strong men had removed the dreadful risks there before those Sovereign Descendants went.
However, at the thought of the history of the Demonic Abyss, Jiang Chen had to say the Three Great Forces were quite bold.
While they were talking, three old men arrived. They surrounded the two.
“No matter who you are, get out of here as soon as possible.”
“Go!”
Jiang Chen’s brow knitted tightly. These three old men were Martial Arts Saints, but they were distinctively different from those Martial Arts Saints he had seen.
Even Xiao Nuo turned serious.
“They are strong here,” said Xiao Nuo.
Jiang Chen threw the divine chain a glance. He did not doubt it.
“Seniors, you are not with the Three Great Forces, are you?” asked Jiang Chen.
The three old men all had a different disposition. They were really strong men who were not active in the current world.
They did not respond to Jiang Chen’s question.
“You are the protectors from the Sacred Inst.i.tute!” added Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s words put the three shocked. They did not understand how such a young man had heard about the Sacred Inst.i.tute.
The Sacred Inst.i.tute used to be the leader in the Nine Realms. It had a very high position.
The founders of the Sacred Inst.i.tute dispelled the darkness and brought light to human beings so that they could be the current ruler of the world.
Unfortunately, humans were difficult to predict, too. As different worlds developed, people found the Sacred Inst.i.tute was in their way, so they eliminated it.
It happened in both the Realm of Divine Martial Arts and the Realm of Nine Heavens.
Jiang Chen witnessed with his own eyes how the Sacred Inst.i.tute in the Realm of Nine Heavens had almost been eliminated.
“Go.”
Back to the three protectors, they did not change their att.i.tudes just because Jiang Chen had recognized them.
“The Three Great Forces can visit this place freely. Why can’t we?”
Xiao Nuo was a Venerable Sovereign. Seeing the protectors not give her any face, she was kind of angry. A cold light flashed in her eyes.
The protectors were quite afraid of Xiao Nuo as well, but they did not even give an inch.
“No one is allowed to unseal the Demonic Abyss. Otherwise, the Nine Realms will fall into chaos.”
“Even though you are a Venerable Sovereign, don’t you think about acting amuck!”
“Leave now. Everything is negotiable.”
“Even the Sacred Inst.i.tute was already gone. How dare you put on airs here?!”
Xiao Nuo snorted, eager to fight them. She would like to see how great these protectors from the Sacred Inst.i.tute were.
“Wait a second.”
Jiang Chen sensed there was something wrong. He drew Xiao Nuo over. Facing the three protectors, he said, “We didn’t say we would unseal the Demonic Abyss. Why would you think we would?”
The protectors all frowned at him.
“Don’t you dare lie to us!”
One of them shouted seriously.
“The Three Great Forces talked with you, didn’t they?”
Jiang Chen was fearless. Looking into that protector’s eyes, he said, “We are here to rescue someone today. A person who is very important to me is trapped in the Demonic Abyss. This is what we came for. If you insist on stopping us and not listening to us, the only choice left to us is to fight!”
“Do you think we are afraid of you?”
The protector who had yelled was a hot temper. Seeing Jiang Chen, a young man, speak to him like that, he flew into a rage.
“Wait.”
However, another protector, who was the boss among them, was a much calmer person.
“Who are you talking about?” he asked Jiang Chen.
“Whitty. He came as the Monster’s Sovereign Descendant. He is trapped there because he missed the pa.s.sage leading outside,” said Jiang Chen.
The three protectors apparently knew about this. They exchanged a look and communicated through holy awareness.
“You are not here to release the Demon? You are sure?”
“We are humans. Why would we release them?” Jiang Chen said, feeling funny.
“Someone told us that a new ambitious Venerable Sovereign was going to reunite the Black Yellow Great World and lead the Demon to invade the great world!” the hot-tempered protector told them everything. He just could not keep it to himself anymore.
Exchanging a look, Jiang Chen and Xiao Nuo showed a bitter smile.
These protectors seemed to be somewhat naïve.
