Chapter 323 - Revisiting the Abyss of Devils Aura (2/2)

Most of the group hailed from famous families and sects; they had no experience seeing such a diabolic scene. For a moment, no one said anything. Su Zimu frowned and asked, “Brother Xiao, is this the Abyss of Devil’s Aura?”

“No. This place is tainted by the Devil’s Carnage, that’s all.” Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed as he spoke. The last time he came here, there was no sign of infection here.

“What? Then what’s the real Abyss of Devil’s Aura like? I think we should stop our operation immediately and inform the Immortals’ League before doing anything!”

Someone was already raising the white flag. Bai Yushu shut the book in his hand. “We should at least check on the Abyss of Devil’s Aura.” He looked at Xiaoyue. “That reminds me. Fairy Xiaoyue, didn’t Senior Situ hand you some Carnage Destruction Pills before we left?”

Without a word, Xiaoyue took out two jade bottles containing the Carnage Destruction Pills and Heaven List Protective Pills that Situ Bei had prepared in a hurry. Sixth-order Elixir Saint’s pills were nothing to scoff at. They were strong enough to ward off the Devil’s Carnage Qi.

Xiaoyue gave everyone two Carnage Destruction Pills and one Protective Pill each. When she reached Xiao Chen, he shook his hand and said, “I don’t need it.” Situ Bei appeared to hold a deep grudge against him. He wouldn’t touch Situ Bei’s pills with a ten-foot pole. Moreover, what was there to fear about regular Devil’s Carnage?

“I’ll take it if you don’t want it!” Zhiluan snatched the three pills out of Xiaoyue’s hand. He was still fuming over Ziyun’er forcing him on this trip when he was having so much fun at the City Master’s Manor.

By the end of the distribution of the pills, everyone also came to grasp the severity of the situation. They once again continued their journey in the direction that Xiao Chen mentioned. Throughout the journey, they saw the sea of Devil Qi stretching endlessly before them. The sight struck fear into their hearts. Fortunately, this was a desolate place. They couldn’t even imagine the consequences if Devil Qi were to break out in the crowded Tianyuan City.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the valley filled with Devil’s Aura that Xiao Chen had once passed. Yu Yifeng immediately stopped the Flying-cloud Stone, not daring to bring them any closer.

The sight shocked them. Devil’s Carnage soared into the sky and formed an expanse of rolling dark fog at low altitude. The boundless fog obscured everything and killed every living thing in its vicinity. It was as if Judgment Day had descended on earth.

“Amitabha…” Xu Gu placed his palms together and started reciting the scripture without an end. Su Zimu looked deep in thought. Shedding his tranquility, he had the Mystical Heaven Fan in his hand shut in preparation for danger.

Qingyu and Liu Feiyan were so terrified that their faces had taken on a deathly shade of white. They dared not to even exhale a deep breath. On the contrary, Xiaoyue appeared calm. The sight before her neither impressed nor scared her.

“Is this the Abyss of Devil’s Aura, Brother Xiao?”

Before Xiao Chen could reply, Zhiluan started screeching. “I’m not going down, absolutely not! Meow! Let go of me, d*mned lass! I refuse to go down and die with you all!”

“Silence! Another peep out of you and I’ll throw you off the Flying-cloud Stone!” Ziyun’er stared at the boundless sea of churning dark fog as she waited for Xiao Chen’s strategic decision.

Malice flitted past Ling Fei’s pupils. “The Devil’s Aura here is strange. Danger lies in the unknown. I think we mustn’t set foot in it.” He then looked at Xiao Chen. “Brother Xiao, out of all of us, you’re most familiar with this place. Why don’t you bring a few people with you and check out the place first?”

Not all eighteen people in the group was united. Since Xiao Chen was close to Yu Yifeng’s group, Ling Fei wanted them to act as the frontline and enter the abyss first. Ziyun’er sneered. “Very well. Why don’t you come with us, Brother Ling? We’ll leave Master Xu Gu and the rest here.”

“Let go of me, d*mned lass! I’ll never go down there and throw my life away with you people!” Zhiluan was pawing and kicking to get out of Ziyun’er’s hold. She glared at him. “Shut up!”

“That’s enough!” Xiao Chen’s sudden sternness gave quite a few of them a scare. Everyone turned to look at him. When they saw his deep frown, all of them fell silent.

Xiao Chen’s expression became exceptionally solemn as he not only sensed a thick Devil Qi this time, but also Negative Qi.

The Negative Qi was bizarre. It didn’t feel like it belonged to the human world, but another world entirely. However, that world wasn’t the Devil World.
