Chapter 555 - The Mystery of the Gale

Chen Wuhui looked into the abyss and sternly said, “Before this, I also did not believe it. But after that, all of us believed it, for we saw it with our own eyes.”

“With your own eyes?” Mo Wen’s eyes flashed with a look of amazement. Could it be that they had already found the specific location of the treasure?

“That’s right. In this abyss, there is an intermediate stage seventh rank Winged Demonic Leopard. The Winged Demonic Leopard sometimes likes to fly out of the abyss to have fun. Many people have seen it. In the jaws of the Winged Demonic Leopard, a greenish bronze mirror dangles. That is the Green Primordial Mirror.”

“If it was not so, we would not have stopped here.” Chen Wuhui laughed bitterly. The Winged Demonic Leopard was an intermediate stage seventh rank monstrous beast. Even if it was one-on-one, he did not dare guarantee that he would be victorious against the monstrous beast. Moreover, with the harsh environment of the abyss, even if everyone joined forces, it would most likely be very difficult to defeat it.

“Where is the Winged Demonic Leopard?” A look of interest flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. That Green Primordial Mirror was actually in the jaws of a monstrous beast.

Monstrous beasts did not know how to use spiritual weapons, but some could recognize treasures. They liked items that sparkled and had some spiritual aura, such as the spiritual weapons in the hands of human ancient martial art practitioners.

For the Winged Demonic Leopard to hold the Green Primordial Mirror in its jaws, it clearly liked the spiritual weapon very much.

“It has hidden at the bottom of the abyss. Before this, some people arranged a few campaigns to kill the Winged Demonic Leopard. Without exception, all of them failed.” Chen Wuhui sighed. The Winged Demonic Leopard was originally very powerful. Now, it also used the environment of the abyss, hiding in the gale in the abyss at the slightest danger. If they could not kill it in one shot, it would be difficult to pose a threat to it no matter how many strong practitioners they gathered.

Right now, he had already written off being able to snatch the Green Primordial Mirror. Unless the Winged Demonic Leopard flew out of the abyss, they would not have an opportunity at all.

Hence, many people had already lost hope in the Green Primordial Mirror. The reason they were still gathered here was to find the other treasures of the Luofeng Sect. Right now, they were almost certain that the Luofeng Sect’s treasures were definitely hidden in the abyss. Otherwise, that Winged Demonic Leopard could not have gotten the Green Primordial Mirror.

“So it was the Luofeng Sect’s treasure. The treasure that has been passed down in legends for centuries is finally going to surface.” Yin Banshuang walked over. Before, when Mo Wen was talking to Chen Wuhui, she was finding out from others what had happened. She roughly knew the situation in the abyss. She had not expected that the legendary Luofeng Sect’s treasure would be here. The last time she was in the abyss, she had not discovered anything at all.

“Are you the Five Beasts Sect chief disciple Yin Banshuang?” Chen Wuhui naturally recognized Yin Banshuang. Seeing her walk over, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Intentionless Sect and Yin Banshuang had never had anything to do with each other. It seemed that this female genius was familiar with Mo Wen.

“I am.” Yin Banshuang slightly nodded her head. She naturally recognized the Intentionless Sect’s sect leader. Before this strong practitioner and elder, she did not dare to act negligently, positioning herself as the junior.

“Very good, you should have broken through to the Golden Elixir realm, right? Most likely it won’t be long before you will surpass us old geezers.” Chen Wuhui saw through Yin Banshuang’s cultivation in a glance. His eyes flashed with a look of exclamation. A few years ago when he had seen Yin Banshuang, she was but a fake Golden Elixir realm practitioner. In just a few years, she had already broken through to the Golden Elixir realm! With this level of talent, surpassing him was just a matter of time.

“Senior Chen has praised me too highly.” Although right now she was far stronger than an average beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, compared to those of the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm, the gap was still quite big. Not to mention her, even if Jiang Gujian faced an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners, the gap would not be small.

Moreover, the sect leader of the Intentionless Sect was still considered an absolute strong practitioner, even among the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners.

Chen Wuhui smiled. In another twenty years, this Yin Banshuang would definitely surpass him. With her current age, it was highly possible for her to break through to the later stage Golden Elixir realm, even the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm in the future.

The younger generation of the Intentionless Sect did not have any incredible figures. Compared to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension Four Geniuses, the difference between the two of them was not small. However, right now it was different. After journeying out once, Chen Zi had actually comprehended the Intentionless Daggers Technique. It was an Absolute Rank martial arts that even he had not mastered. With her comprehension ability, although she had started later, her future achievements would not necessarily be lower than those of Yin Banshuang.

“Since that Luofeng Sect’s treasure is at the bottom of the abyss, has anyone found its exact location?” Mo Wen asked.

“For now, not yet.” Chen Wuhui sighed. He somewhat helplessly said, “The abyss here is very strange. The area above and in the abyss has a strong gale. The gale in the abyss is very frightening. It is enough to kill a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner.”

Such a harsh environment was also the reason why they had lingered at the edge of the abyss, not daring to enter.

The gale already had such lethality. Moreover, inside the abyss, there were countless monstrous beasts. Earlier, some people had tried to descend. In the end, they had not gone more than a hundred meters before either the gale killed them or the monstrous beasts did.

“Although the gale in the abyss is frightening, it follows a set pattern. As long as we can figure out its pattern and determine a correct pathway, we can evade the gale’s assault.” Yin Banshuang spoke up. She had gone down once, so she naturally knew more about the abyss than others.

“You also know about it?” Chen Wuhui looked at Yin Banshuang in surprise. The gale in the abyss did indeed operate based on a pattern. Before this, some people had figured out this pattern and successfully descended to the bottom of the abyss. But not everyone knew about this pattern, and not everyone could see through it.

It could be said that the people still lingering outside the abyss now were almost all of those who had not figured out the gale’s pattern. Those who had figured out the gale’s pattern would not publicly reveal it to others and increase the number of their competitors.

“Of course I know. Also, if my assumptions are correct, the human ancient martial art practitioners that have come to this place aren’t just the people here. There are already many who have already descended into the abyss.”

Yin Banshuang’s gaze slightly shifted to a spot. There was a group of four over there and all of them were Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. One of them was staring into the emptiness of the abyss below. He stood there for a long while. Suddenly, a look of joy welled up in his eyes, seemingly having discovered something. With a loud shout, he jumped into the abyss. The other three behind him saw this and their faces also lit up with glee as they followed him one by one.

Needless to say, that person certainly saw through the mystery of the gale’s pattern. Otherwise, they would not have dared to go down so easily.

“If my suspicions are correct, right now at the bottom of the abyss, there are more than fifty human ancient martial art practitioners.”

Chen Wuhui nodded his head. The fifty ancient martial art practitioners mentioned were not ordinary ancient martial art practitioners. Those that could appear here were almost all Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. If they did not have Golden Elixir realm cultivation, they would not have dared to come to the fifth level at all.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Intentionless Sect had a group of four. Aside from the sect leader Chen Wuhui, the other three were the deputy sect leader Chen Zikuang, the sect grand elder Xia Kunqian and the sect second elder Wang Qiusheng. The four of them were the Intentionless Sect’s most powerful force. The ordinary elders were all on Cropped Top Mountain instructing the Intentionless Sect’s disciples to plunder the normal treasures of the Beast Lair. Not all of them had followed along.

As for Chen Zi, with her cultivation, it was impossible for her to appear at the fifth level.

Chen Zikuang kept standing at the edge of the abyss, carefully observing the changes in the gale. Even though he knew that Mo Wen had arrived, he was not distracted. If they could not comprehend the pattern of the gale, even if they knew that there was important treasure at the bottom of the abyss, they most likely could only watch and see.

“I know the mystery of how the gale works. Senior Chen, maybe we can cooperate?” Yin Banshuang’s eyes twinkled, then she looked at Chen Wuhui and smiled as she said this.

“Oh, how does Miss Banshuang want to cooperate with me?” Chen Wuhui smiled faintly as he said, “If my suspicions are correct, the members of your Five Beasts Sect should be coming over soon. By that time, you will not need to cooperate with our Intentionless Sect, right?”

“The Five Beasts Sect is the Five Beasts Sect. I am my own person. Right now, I am cooperating with your Intentionless Sect as an individual. Also, I guarantee I will not involve the members of the Five Beasts Sect in this,” Yin Banshuang said plainly.

She naturally knew that after such a huge event had occurred in the abyss, it was impossible for the Five Beasts Sect to not send people over after receiving news of it. However, she did not want to cooperate with the members of the Five Beasts Sect. It was because she had other goals for coming to the abyss.

“Tell us how you want to cooperate,” Chen Wuhui said.

“I will tell you the mystery of how the gale operates, but your members of the Intentionless Sect must protect me along our way in the abyss. There is a section that we will need your strength in order to cross. However, I can guarantee that the information on how the gale works is absolutely perfect. It can avoid the gale’s effect one hundred percent of the time,” Yin Banshuang said very confidently.

It was an experience she had gained from narrowly escaping the abyss. It was impossible for normal people who had not experienced it as she had to have her level of understanding. The people who seemed to have comprehended the gale’s pattern may not necessarily have seen through all of it. Some of the gale’s airstreams were still unavoidable. It could only be said to have relatively reduced the level of danger.

But she was different. If they followed her path, they could avoid the gale one hundred percent of the time. When that moment came, they only needed to be careful of the monstrous beasts in the abyss.

“You can avoid the gale one hundred percent of the time?” Chen Wuhui’s gaze hardened. If she did not have a deep understanding of the abyss, she would absolutely not dare to say such things.

“I can. Also, I dare to guarantee that if the Luofeng Sect’s treasure is truly in the abyss, it will certainly be at the bottom. That is because it is impossible to hide treasure in the cliffs on both sides of the abyss. So, you will need to reach the bottom of the abyss in order to possibly find the Luofeng Sect’s treasure, so it does not conflict with where I am going.”

Yin Banshuang nodded her head. The inside of the abyss was dangerous beyond compare. Even without the effects of the gale, the threat of the monstrous beasts was very frightening. One could imagine how powerful the monstrous beasts that could survive in the abyss were. If their luck was bad, it was normal for a five-man team to be completely wiped out.

With her and Mo Wen’s ability, although she had great confidence in them reaching the bottom of the abyss, the journey would certainly not be easy. If they were injured or expended too much Inner Qi, it would be difficult for them to do much even if they did reach the bottom of the abyss.

That was why she wanted to cooperate with Intentionless Sect. Traveling together with the members of Intentionless Sect would make the journey much safer. Also, she had provided safe passage, so even if she did not pull her weight much along the way and saved her strength, no one would say anything to her. That way, once they reached the place that gestated Vital Qi, they would not be powerless.

“Okay, deal.” Chen Wuhui agreed to Yin Banshuang’s conditions almost without any hesitation. In reality, these conditions were harmless to the Intentionless Sect. It was just protecting Yin Banshuang along the journey.

As for what Yin Banshuang was thinking, he clearly knew. In this harsh environment full of danger, being able to conserve one’s strength had a huge effect on their chances of survival.

The Intentionless Sect lost nothing for agreeing to work with Yin Banshuang. If they did not cooperate with her and did not figure out the mystery of the gale’s workings, they might not even have the chance to descend into the abyss. Now that someone was willing to lead the way, he naturally was willing to agree.

“Since you have decided to team up, how about adding me in? Although I cannot see through the mystery of the gale’s workings, I can lend my strength along the way to kill the monstrous beasts.”

A voice suddenly sounded from nearby. It was followed with a flash of light, and a blue silhouette appeared in front of the group. It was none other than Jin Ying of the Huatian Palace.
