Chapter 1533: Ask the Lowest Realm Level Person to Go There
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xia Jiangâs implication was quite obvious, and everyone understood it.
However, this didnât mean that they would accept it because Xia Jiangâs position had already dropped to a low level.
Moreover, Jiang Chen was the person who had discovered the lakeâs entrance, and they still needed him to leave.
When Xia Jiang realized this, he stopped smiling.
âItâs you who have harmed us and made us suffer disastrous casualties. We have ended up in this situation because of you,â Jiang Chen wasnât going to let Xia Jiang off lightly, and he started making trouble for him.
His words were like a reminder to the crowd, and they all started giving Xia Jiang dirty looks.
âCasualties are a common matter when it comes to adventures and treasure-hunting,â Xia Jiang said as he quickly took his Mysterious Crystal and raised it high so that everyone could see it clearly. He said, âTake a look, the Mysterious Crystalâs reaction proves that a large number of Mysterious Crystals are in the vicinity.â
It seemed as if these words possessed a magical charm, and everyoneâs heartbeats quickened upon hearing them.
âWhere did you get this piece of Mysterious Crystal?â Jiang Chen asked suddenly.
The Mysterious Crystal was the reason everything had started, and their group wouldnât have come here if Xia Jiang hadnât gotten it.
âWhy should I inform you?â Xia Jiang sneered.
But Ying Ying and Cao Ze looked at Xia Jiang coldly and awaited the answer.
Xia Jiang was left without a choice. He didnât want to divulge this secret, but he still told them the truth.
In the Young Sovereigns one-month trial, Xia Jiang had met a heavily injured Great Celestial Demon. He had been overjoyed and assumed that this was a good chance bestowed upon him by God.
The reason behind this was that it didnât matter who had injured the Great Celestial Demon, he would get a great reward as long as he killed it.
Xia Jiang hunted down the Great Celestial Demon and their paths ended up by chance atop a cliff. There, they had detected intense energy ripples beneath them.
When Xia Jiang descended to inspect what had caused the ripples, he discovered a Mysterious Crystal, as well as the creviceâs entrance.
âA piece of Mysterious Crystal was put there nicely. Yet, you didnât find this matter strange at all?â Jiang Chen couldnât help but raise a question.
âWhat is strange about it?â When Xia Jiang recalled this matter, he also realized that something was perhaps fishy about it, but he didnât want to admit anything in front of Jiang Chen.
Xia Jiang continued narrating his story. At that time, the trial would shortly have come to an end, and, if he entered rashly into the crevice, he would expose it, and he would end up missing a golden opportunity.
This was why he didnât inform anyone about this matter at the time and finished the trial along with the others.
After the dust had settled, Xia Jiang changed his appearance and came back again to the Demon Slayers Palace to enter the Demonic Abyss.
It couldnât be denied that Xia Jiang had had great patience by waiting to take action for a long time. But it was a pity that he had run into Cao Ze and his companions on the second floor, and, soon after, Left Blade and Right Sword, as well as Jin Yuan.
âHow did you discover him?â Jiang Chen asked Cao Ze out of curiosity.
They had had a few interactions but didnât have any relationship. This was why when Cao Ze heard Jiang Chenâs question, he frowned.
âAt that time, we had run into Jin Yuan, and he had informed us that a Demon Slayers Palaceâs disciple in the vicinity might have met danger. And when we ran over to take a look, we discovered Xia Jiang.â
After Cao Ze stated this, the crowd finally believed what Xuan Qing had said a while ago. Everything had been a ploy set up by Jin Yuan.
Jin Yuan had first lured Xia Jiang with a Mysterious Crystal, and, when he discovered that he planned to travel alone, he figured out a way to get Cao Ze and the others to travel with him to increase the size of the group.
âDespite everything, we still want to get the Mysterious Crystals, and we will kill anyone in our way no matter if they are demons or Gods,â Ying Ying expressed his impatience and shouted at Xia Jiang. He said, âYou! Go inside to take a look. Everything was started by you.â
Xia Jiang didnât want to do this. He was already quite irritated by being treated so roughly, and he said, âDo you really think that you are able to deal with me? Iâm just restraining my power because I donât want to expose my identity. If we shed all pretense of cordiality, I wouldnât be afraid of anyone here.â
As Xia Jiang spoke, his aura erupted. It seemed as if his body even became taller. He had an indomitable spirit and seemed inviolable.
Jiang Chen could tell through his aura that he was really the Xia Jiang who had visited the Heavenly Palace in the past.
Ying Yingâs expression changed. He discovered that he had underestimated Xia Jiangâs power.
It wasnât a wise decision to start a great battle at this moment.
âAsk the lowest realm level person to go there.â
This time, Xia Jiang didnât make any insinuations, and he nearly pointed at Jiang Chen directly.
Everyone seemed swayed both because they believed that Jiang Chen couldnât put up any resistance and that he would do as instructed obediently.
At this moment, even Xuan Qing was on guard.
It was only Murong Yanran who knew Jiang Chenâs fighting prowess at his peak state, and, if they had really started a fight, he wouldnât lose to anyone present.
âI will go inside.â
No one had expected that Jiang Chen would agree to it so readily.
Xuan Qing was taken aback, but she quickly understood his intentions.
They had come here to obstruct the Great Demon Lordâs resurrection, and, if they allowed an ignorant person to go inside, he would only exhaust the Godsâ power. This wouldnât be a wise choice!
âI will go with you.â
Xuan Qing knew that the Godsâ power in this land wouldnât harm her.
They walked toward the bamboo house without waiting for anyoneâs instructions.
When Cao Ze saw their reaction, he became skeptical, and he started making guesses about this matter. It was the same for Ying Ying, and they both thought the same thing.
They werenât afraid that Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing would do anything fishy, and if they found Mysterious Crystals, that would be the best outcome. In any case, they could just snatch them!
Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing entered the bamboo house in front of the crowdâs gazes.
âAre there really Mysterious Crystals?â Xuan Qing wasnât sure about this. This place was built to strand a Demon Lord, and there wasnât any reason to put treasures here.
âThey are really here!â Jiang Chen unexpectedly replied in assured tone.
âYou! Did you find them?â Xuan Qing was quite surprised.
Jiang Chen nodded and turned his head back to take a look at the Mysterious Crystal in Xia Jiangâs hands. When Jiang Chen saw the crystalâs flickering light, he found this matter quite funny.
Those people would have never imagined that the Mysterious Crystals were actually in front of their eyes, and they were within the lake.
The Mysterious Crystals had turned into a liquid, and they had blended with the lakeâs water. However, the lake had a great expanse, and the Mysterious Crystalsâ energy didnât make up for even 1 percent of the water. This was why they were difficult to discover.
However, even though it amounted to only 1 percent, this energy, if it was turned back into crystals, would make 100,000 pieces.
This was an astronomical wealth to everyone present here.
The reason why Jiang Chen discovered this was that heâd read many books and wasnât like those people who assumed that Mysterious Crystals would always keep a crystalline shape. This was a grave mistake.
The Mysterious Crystalsâ appearance had been described in a book Jiang Chen had once read in which the Empyrean Goddessâs life had been recounted.
âItâs an energy that rivals the black yellow gas, probably even better. The Empyrean Goddess had absorbed the worldâs energy and turned it into gas, before condensing it into a liquid, and refining it until it turned it into a crystal. This was why it was called a Mysterious Crystal.â
Those were the words written in the book, and this was why Jiang Chen managed to come up with his guess when he saw the islandâs water source.
The other people were obviously standing atop a treasure trove, yet they still couldnât discover the treasuresâ location. This was a sorrowful matter!
Xia Jiangâs Mysterious Crystal could only discern an approximate position, and its scope encompassed the whole island and the lake. They couldnât use the Mysterious Crystal to get more precise information about the crystals.
Jiang Chen was now concerned about the Demon Lord. A Great Demon Lord was stranded here, and there was still another Demon Lord that had escaped. The most thorny one was the fugitive Demon Lord because they had already searched the whole island, yet they still hadnât seen it.
Jiang Chen suddenly recalled the guy whoâd tried to assassinate him last time in the Heavenly Palace. He wondered whether the Demon Lord could take advantage of the fogâs cover to kill someone, take his place, and mingle with them.
