Chapter 93 - Evil Spirits and Demons (2/2)

The Psyche of ordinary Ninth and Tenth Level Celestial Beasts could only scare off evil spirits but Little Tanuki had a unique astral energy that was different from ordinary Psyches.

It turned out that these evil spirits were afraid of that!

Qiu Ying and the others would be entering soon. Ye Chen immediately released astral energy to protect Little Tanuki and himself, keeping the evil spirits away, and ran wildly. The evil spirits and demons thought that Ye Chen was a super powerhouse and dispersed, not daring to continue chasing after him.

With the astral energy, Ye Chen did not have to be afraid of these evil spirits! The evil spirits could not do anything to him and he felt a little calmer. The first floor of this Sunken Jade Tower was not that scary now.

Ye Chen had not run far before finding a roaring river flowing down toward an endless darkness.

There seemed to be hidden dangers in the depths of the river. Ye Chen swept his Astral Body across the river and found that several evil spirits were hiding within. They were above Seventh and Eighth Level, and there were even Ninth and Tenth Level. The evil spirits in the water were of a higher level!

Ye Chen was not afraid of these evil spirits but he would be in trouble if Qiu Ying and the others caught up to him. There would be no way out. He dived into the rapidly flowing river and his body was soon taken away by the current.

A moment later, several people entered the Sunken Jade Tower. It was Qiu Ying and the others.

“That boy escaped into the river!” An eagle-eyed guard saw Ye Chen jumping into the roaring river seven to eight hundred meters away.

“After him!” Qiu Ying and the others flew after him.

Countless evil spirits surrounded them, shrieking. The sounds were particularly piercing.

Liu Xun, Liu Kan, and the others paled and all took action. Bang bang bang, the evil spirits were killed one after another.

“These d*mn monsters!” Qiu Ying detested these things and fiercely shot out a palm of fire. A dozen evil spirits shrieked and exploded, burned by the flame until there was nothing left.

After they killed a large number of the evil spirits, the remaining ones stayed away and watched the humans from a distance of five or six meters, squawking from time to time.

Looking at the many evil spirits floating around them, afraid to approach, Liu Kan frowned and asked, “What do we now?”

“That Ye Chen boy is a little strange. He was injured and alone, so he should’ve been besieged by the evil spirits but incredibly, he managed to run so far away. It’s clear that he had a method to avoid evil spirits. We can’t let that boy escape. We have to find him if he’s alive and even if he’s dead, we still have to see his corpse. If that boy gets away, we can forget about living peacefully in the future!” Qiu Ying said coldly. “Chase after him!”

The group of people chased after Ye Chen in the direction of the river. The Sunken Jade Tower was full of dangers in every corner and none of them dared to jump into the river. Who knew what dangers lurked in it?

“We’ll look along the river. If we encounter any trouble, we can still come back along the river,” Qiu Ying said after thinking through.

Hearing Qiu Ying’s words, their eyes brightened. As expected of the Prime Minister. The Sunken Jade Tower was vast and one might not be able to get out in a few months if they got lost. They only brought along two months’ worth of food and there was the possibility of starving to death here. However, if they followed the river, there would be no such problems.

Ye Chen followed the fast-flowing river down. Icy cold energy emerged from the depths of the river as if something was about to surface from underneath, causing his hair to stand on end.
