Chapter 543 – Devil Realm (2/2)
“Perfect! I never thought young master Qi would lead us this time! He’s an Eighth Grade Combat King, we won’t have to worry about our own safety!”
“You bet! Young master Qi is a famous man amongst the Heavenly Sect disciples, a man possessing a bag full of extremely powerful abilities. Since we’re only going to enter the first level of the Devil Realm, as long as lady luck is on our side, with young master Qi’s overall strength, we’ll be able to sweep across the entire first level without meeting any resistance.”
“It was a wise decision to accept the Heavenly Tower’s mission. Traveling with the geniuses of the Heavenly Sect is so much better than traveling on our own.”
…………
Everyone were surprised upon finding out that young master Qi would lead them.
“Everyone listen up, all of you have to treat young master Qi as your leader, and obey all his orders. With that, he can guarantee your safety.”
The Second Manager said to the group. After that, he cupped his fist toward young master Qi once again, then disappeared from the scene.
“All of you, stand behind us.”
A Fifth Grade Combat King of the Heavenly Sect waved his hand at Jiang Chen’s group, acting in an arrogant manner.
It seemed like everyone was already accustomed to this kind of arrogance, as no one seemed to get angry and just followed the orders. Apparently, as this man was a genius of the Heavenly Sect, it would be abnormal if he didn’t behave arrogantly.
Young master Qi took a few steps in the air and arrived in front of Jiang Chen. With a smile on his face, he asked, “Are you Jiang Chen?”
”I am.”
Jiang Chen nodded his head.
“The two managers specifically told me to take really good care of you.”
Young master Qi narrowed his eyes. Only he knew the true meaning behind his words.
”Thank you for that.”
Jiang Chen responded with a smile.
“Damn it, who is this guy? I’ve never seen him before. Why can he get special treatment from young master Qi?”
“I’m sure he had some under the table connection with them. Didn’t you hear? It was the two managers of the Heavenly Tower who made the instruction.”
…………
Many people were filled with jealousy and envy.
”Let's go!”
Young master Qi shouted, and then began flying. The other Heavenly Sect disciples followed closely after, and those men who came here for the mission also followed along; no one dared to neglect the order. Jiang Chen and his friends were flying at the back of everyone, and didn’t say anything.
“Little Chen, I can feel that young master Qi has some hostility toward you.”
Tyrant said to Jiang Chen. Although he looked like a thoughtless man on the outside, he was actually a careful observer. He could feel slight hostility from that young master Qi, and even a hidden killing intent.
”He better not provoke me.”
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. He basically knew what the root cause of this was. Yesterday, he had spotted the greedy looks in the eyes of the two managers after they saw the Nine Solar Holy Water, causing his impression of the Heavenly Tower to plummet. Judging from what happened just now, it looked like the Heavenly Tower was going to tackle him with this kind of approach.
However, Jiang Chen wasn’t scared at all, and he didn’t feel like backing off. One way or another, he would visit the Devil Realm. It would be better if this young master Qi didn’t come and provoke him, and if he really did do so, Jiang Chen would make sure to make him regret his decision.
No one were talking throughout the journey. After spending nearly half a day flying through the void, the group finally arrived above a desolate valley. This was a desolate place, and they could sense freezing devilish energy hovering in the air.
“The Devil Realm is up ahead. In a man, I’ll open up the spatial barrier that will lead us into the first level of the Devil Realm. Everyone, be extra careful upon entering.”
Young master Qi said.
Aouu!
Right at this moment, a spatial crack suddenly opened up in front of them. A devil fully covered with black scales dashed out from the crack. It was a First Grade Devil King.
However, it was a miserable Devil King, as it was instantly killed by a slap from young master Qi. Its devil soul was dug out afterwards.
“This place is where the Spatial Node connected to the Devil Realm is located. As this place is frequently attacked by devils from the other side, the surrounding space is in a very fragile state. Devils will frequently crawl out from the other side. However, those devils aren’t very strong, and they aren’t able to cause much trouble. They’re all usually killed by humans.”
Tyrant explained.
Tan Lang was the only person who was surprised by the appearance of this devil, whereas all the others still behaved normally. For them who had lived in the Western Region, a scene like this was obviously not anything special. They were going to enter the Devil Realm, and they all felt somewhat nervous at this moment. They were after all about to face ferocious and cruel devils, and there would be more than one of them.
