Chapter 1879: Ghostly Creatures (1/2)

“Great Emperor Lan Chong, you did not sense wrongly, right? You said that Huang Xiaolong would definitely pass through the Third Devil Forest, and we’ve waited in vain for five days. Until now, we haven’t even seen the edge of Huang Xiaolong’s shadow.” Chiyou questioned Great Emperor Lan Chong.

Hearing the questioning tone of Chiyou’s words, a glimmer of anger flashed across Lan Chong’s eyes, but he restrained his temper and responded, “Don’t worry, there is absolutely no mistake. Who could have known that that cunning Huang Xiaolong would not choose to pass through the Third Devil Forest.”

The possibility of Huang Xiaolong detouring from the Third Devil Forest had not occurred to Lan Chong before.

He, too, was greatly vexed by this matter.

“Then again, what is Huang Xiaolong doing here?” The Massacring Gods Gate’s Old Ancestor Chu Han voiced his doubt as he looked around.

There was nothing all-around within a hundred million li radius.

But Huang Xiaolong couldn’t come to this kind of place without reason.

“... Could it be that the two devil steles are somewhere close by?” Violent Lightning Archdevil mentioned nonchalantly.

Everyone’s eyes lit up at his words.

It was no secret that Huang Xiaolong had reached the top of Devil Tower’s ninth floor, so maybe Huang Xiaolong had some kind of induction towards the six devil steles. Who knew, maybe the two devil steles were really not far up ahead.

The Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribe’s Old Ancestor Shi Ming did not say anything, but he obviously accelerated.

His action naturally did not escape Chiyou, Lan Chong, and the others’ eyes. Thus they too accelerated.

In less than an hour, the group reached the cliff where Huang Xiaolong and the others were earlier.

Above the sharp cliff, everyone was speechless at the narrow opening at its bottom.

“Huang Xiaolong is at the bottom?” The Massacring Gods Gate’s Old Ancestor Chu Han asked Lan Chong beside him.

Lan Chong nodded, “I just spurred the Blue Soul’s Curse’s energy, and I could feel that Huang Xiaolong is present down there.”

The others exchanged a silent glance, looking at the endless frigid qi spewing out from the narrow opening.

“Restrictive formations are laden everywhere down there, so everyone be careful.” The Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribe’s Old Ancestor Shi Ming suddenly spoke.

Chu Han, Chiyou, Lan Chong, and the rest nodded their heads. They could see that the path down was not easy.

Seeing more than a dozen black ice-arrows shooting towards him, Chu Han bellowed curtly and slapped his palms downwards. The Sovereign Realm’s godforce that contained chaos law power slammed down, instantly shattered the black ice-arrows.

Chu Han continued to descend.

Almost at every ten zhang distance down, there would be a restrictive formation. On top of that, the power of these restrictive formations increased significantly the further down he got.

Chu Han continued to break past these hurdles.

Those waiting above watched Chu Han disappear into the darkness below.

Due to the many restrictive formations playing their roles, no one could see Chu Han’s situation below, even with their eyesight, so they could do nothing but wait.

Despite Chu Han’s strength, it took him half an hour to reach one thousand zhang down the cliff. At this time, there were endless torrents of black ice-arrows attacking him from below, with the momentum of a tsunami swallowing up the land. A thin film of sweat appeared on his forehead from the pressure.

Another half an hour passed when those waiting above saw the Massacring Gods Gate’s Old Ancestor Chu Han rushing out in a sorry state from the narrow opening.

Everyone waiting above was flabbergasted by this sight.

Not even a Sovereign Realm expert like Chu Han was able to go down?

“I’ll try to descend.” Chiyou was burning with motivation for a challenge. He whizzed down the cliff without another word.
