Chapter 793: Chapter 790: The Sudden Tail_1
If it were in the past, there were only a few Heaven Martial Realm and Earth Martial Realm powerhouses in the Eastern Thirty-six Counties. Especially in the border areas, Fire Essence Beasts had no way of deploying troops. Once a Fire Essence Beast arrived, its aura would leak and everyone would find out immediately.
However, things have changed now. There are too many Earth Martial Realm and Heaven Martial Realm powerhouses gathered here. Who would pay attention to where a Heaven Martial Realm or an Earth Martial Realm powerhouse go?
Moreover, everyone’s attention is focused on this Purple Qi Secret Realm. Who has the energy to pay attention to other matters?
The Fire Essence Beast’s only goal is the Guardian Spirit Array. If they deploy large numbers of Fire Essence Beasts towards North Mountain County at this time…
The situation would be very unfavorable.
Yang Chen took a deep breath of cold air, his heart filled with unease, and muttered, “Yuanshan Sect, Guardian Spirit Array, my older sister, and the people in the Great Wilderness!”
There was a sudden thump in Yang Chen’s heart.
Seeing Yang Chen’s worried expression, Yun Lu, who knew Yang Chen’s concerns, reassured him: “Young Master, don’t worry. Maybe you’re just overthinking it? There might still be a chance, and this place may not be the awakening site for the Fire Essence Beasts.”
“The possibility is too low. I can clearly feel the surging flames from the depths of the earth. These flames feel the same as the Fire Essence Beasts. The key question is, why have these red soils been deliberately disguised? It’s all part of the Fire Essence Beast’s scheme.” Yang Chen’s expression turned cold: “I need to find the exit and find a way out as soon as possible. There’s no time to lose!”
Yang Chen didn’t dare to waste time and immediately set off.
This was already ten days later. When he got up, there were many more people on the second floor than before. Not only young geniuses, but also older martial artists.
At seeing the older martial artists coming and going, Yang Chen became more composed as he was in a hurry.
It seemed that despite his hurry to leave, he had to figure out the current situation first.
With this in mind, Yang Chen’s gaze locked onto a thirty-something-year-old genius martial artist and said, “Brother, please hold on!”
The genius martial artist noticed Yang Chen and turned around, looking slightly surprised. An almost imperceptible flash of delight appeared in his eyes, and he immediately restored his composure: “So it’s Brother Yang Chen. I heard you were in here already, and it seems that’s true. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Nice to meet you! My name is Qin Lang!”
Seeing that Qin Lang was so easy to talk to, Yang Chen also politely said, “Brother Qin Lang, did you hear about me before entering the second floor?”
“Of course, isn’t your name Brother Yang Chen well-known? Haha, being one of the first martial artists to enter must have given you a lot of benefits, right?” Qin Lang replied with a friendly laugh.
Yang Chen didn’t know how to explain, and he was too lazy to explain anything. He went straight to the point, “Brother Qin Lang, to be honest, since I entered the second floor, I haven’t encountered any treasures. I did run into some issues and chose to go into seclusion. As for the situation on the first and second floors, I’d like to ask you about it. Don’t worry about the reward, I won’t let you down.”
After finishing his words, Yang Chen immediately took out a storage bag from his waist.
Pinching the storage bag, Yang Chen handed it directly to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang took a closer look and was astonished to find that it contained more than ten top-grade spirit stones. Yang Chen was quite generous, offering more than ten top-grade spirit stones just for asking a few questions.
This made Qin Lang feel even more like Yang Chen had something valuable to offer.
Of course, he didn’t show this on the surface and just smiled, “Brother Yang Chen truly is generous. What would you like to ask? Don’t worry, I’ve been on the second floor for a few days now, and I know the situation on both floors quite well!”
Yang Chen could see that Qin Lang seemed to be insatiable, but he didn’t say anything. All he needed was the answer to his question.
Qin Lang’s Martial Arts Cultivation didn’t exceed the second level of the True Martial Realm, so facing Yang Chen, he should have self-awareness.
Yang Chen asked, “Brother Qin Lang, I’d like to know if any other people from the Green Lotus Sect have entered the second floor?”
“Not many, besides Saintess Qingyin, only a handful of seniors from the Green Lotus Sect have entered. The number is too small.” Qin Lang replied.
Yang Chen looked into Qin Lang’s eyes and found that he wasn’t lying and nodded.
Qingyin had also entered the second floor?
“What about the other forces? Are there many people who entered?” Yang Chen asked.
“There are quite a few, probably hundreds!” Qin Lang took a deep breath and spoke in a serious tone.
“That many!” Yang Chen was surprised.
Qin Lang nodded, “It’s mainly because everyone has figured out how to deal with the guardians and learned how to enter cleverly. While not everyone can enter, the probability of entry has indeed increased significantly. Out of a hundred people, there should be one person who can enter.”
With that, Qin Lang’s tone held a hint of pride.
Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, then clasped his hands and said, “In that case, thank you, Brother Qin Lang!”
With most of the information he needed about the situation already obtained, there was no need to ask further questions.
It seemed that he needed to find a way to reunite with the few seniors from the Green Lotus Sect who had entered, as well as with Qingyin. In particular, the seniors of the Green Lotus Sect could not be ignored. If they reached the Half-Step Earth Martial Realm, they could assist him no matter what.
Seeing this, Qin Lang’s eyes flashed with a touch of satisfied scheming as he spoke, “If that’s the case, Brother Yang Chen, I shall take my leave first!”
“No problem.” Yang Chen got up and he and Qin Lang went in opposite directions.
After leaving, Yun Lu voiced her concern, “Young Master, can we trust this Qin Lang? I always feel like he’s unreliable!”
“Qin Lang is not someone to put one’s mind at ease. I don’t know which force he’s from, but he’s definitely not a good person. However, I can confirm that everything he said is true, and that’s good enough for me.” Yang Chen said, looking ahead.
“So, what are we going to do now?” Yun Lu asked.
“First, find Miss Qingyin and the other seniors of the Green Lotus Sect.” Yang Chen said decisively, “Our top priority now is to regroup with them!”
Immediately, Yang Chen did not hesitate to go straight for the distance, planning to search while moving.
Time passed, one hour, two hours.
At first, it was fine as Yang Chen chose to lay low and avoided everyone he encountered. However, later he increasingly felt that he seemed to be targeted.
Yun Lu could confirm this, as she warned, “Young Master, that tail behind us has been following us for at least a cup of tea’s time. However, it’s still impossible to discern their cultivation level. That person has a rare treasure that my divine soul detection cannot determine their strength. There’s no doubt, though, that they’re fast. If you don’t activate Lightning Movement Technique, they’ll catch up with us quickly.”
