553 Underground Abyss (1/2)

”You are unaffected?”

Yin Banshuang looked at Mo Wen strangely. The fifth level was so cold; it was impossible for him to not be affected at all. Even with a strong will and a rich soul power, by rights, Mo Wen should be affected to some degree.

However, it was as though Mo Wen was standing in a normal environment, seemingly unaffected.

”I'm still okay.” Mo Wen nodded his head. Of course, he did not intend to reveal the secret of his Spiritless Clean Fire. Although he still could not use the Spiritless Clean Fire to fight off his enemies, he could use it to easily withstand heat or cold.

Hence, on the fifth level, and even on the sixth and seventh levels, Mo Wen's ability would be unaffected. He naturally would not reveal this secret to others. It was his advantage.

”You are bizarre.” Yin Banshuang looked deeply at Mo Wen. The more time she spent with this youth, the more mysterious she found him to be. His body seemed to always have an invisible layer around it.

”Come with me. Once we reach the fifth level, I can easily find the place.”

Yin Banshuang swept a glance across their surroundings, and then with a dash flew in one direction. The environment on the fifth level was very dim. There were even fewer luminous mineral rocks here. Under the cover of darkness, visibility was not very good. Even ancient martial art practitioners would have their vision affected in this kind of place.

Compared to the levels before, the fifth level was undoubtedly much smaller. In reality though, it wasn't that small. It measured at least tens of miles in area.

The two of them flew for around fifteen minutes. The huge abyss in the distance appeared in their current line of sight, like a large gaping mouth in the ground. It seemed to be bottomless and was pitch black inside. It was five to six hundred meters wide and its length was astonishing. One actually could not see the ends.

”At the bottom of that abyss is the hiding place for the Vital Qi. However, getting down there is not easy,” Yin Banshuang said, her expression serious as she looked at the abyss.

The abyss was located deep within the Beast's Lair; therefore, it had no name. However, it was definitely a horrifying existence. Even Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners found it hard to cross the abyss.

”Huh? There are people around the abyss. And more than just a few.” A strange look flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He could sense that quite a number of people had gathered over there. There were more than ten. It was the first time he had seen so many human ancient martial art practitioners gathered together since they had entered the Beast's Lair.

”What?” Upon hearing this, Yin Banshuang's expression turned sullen. She sensed that things were amiss over there. There was the aura of so many human ancient martial art practitioners. Under normal circumstances, there would be no one around the edge of the abyss. People would normally avoid the abyss; why would they approach it? Could it be that the secret of the Vital Qi existing in the abyss had been exposed?

Yin Banshuang frowned. She sensed that something was more and more off.

”We'll find out when we are near,” Mo Wen said plainly. At the same time, he glanced behind his back, seemingly intentionally doing so. A glint of relish flashed in his eyes. Then, he flew decisively towards the abyss.

A few hundred meters behind the two of them, a blue shadow was visible. It was Jin Ying from the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall.

Ever since they had left the passageway, she had been following Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang, seemingly very interested in their affairs.

Suddenly, Jin Ying stopped, her gaze freezing slightly.

”Interesting. Could it be that the fellow has noticed me? That's impossible.”
