Whoosh!

Mu Chen’s figure shot through the spiritual mist. He was able to sense intense Spiritual Energy radiating from a far distance behind him. Obviously, Luo Li had already truly started crossing hands with Wu Jia.

Retracting his gaze, Mu Chen proceeded to coldly stare at Mao Jiang, who he had captive in his hands. With a sneer, he said, “Looks like you didn’t tell me some things, huh?”

Mao Jiang’s expression faintly changed as he repeatedly shook his head.

“How did that Wu Jia know which direction we were at?” asked Mu Chen chillingly. “Was it you that informed him?”

Hearing Mu Chen’s question, Mao Jiang hastily replied, “There’s Spiritual Arrays arranged by Wu Jia within the spiritual mist in the depths of the Western Desolate Territory. Therefore, he’s able to sense all of the fluctuations within it.”

Mu Chen shot a cold glare at Mao Jiang, before shooting a ray of Spiritual Energy out from his finger. Shooting into the spiritual mist, he spread his senses out. Indeed, Mu Chen was able to sense some extremely faint and strange fluctuations radiating from within. Those were the sensory threads from those Spiritual Arrays.

This Wu Jia truly had some ability.

A faint flash appeared in Mu Chen’s eyes. In the next instant, with a wave of his sleeve, dozen’s of Spiritual Seals condensed, before dissipating around his body. Glowing threads interweaved around his body, seemingly forming a small-sized Spiritual Array, enveloping him within.

This Spiritual Array wasn’t large. However, it possessed the capability to isolate one’s sensory abilities. Mu Chen didn’t want every move and every action he made to be collected in Wu Jia’s hands.

After arranging the array, Mu Chen turned his apathetic gaze towards Mao Jiang, before saying in a indifferent voice, “Continue leading the way.”

A shiver went through Mao Jiang’s heart due to the gaze coming from Mu Chen, causing him to immediately continue guiding the way.

In the continuing journey, Mu Chen didn’t receive any more obstructions. After throwing off Wu Jia’s means of perception, that fellow shouldn’t be able to sense his position anymore.

This continued for dozens of minutes, before Mu Chen’s speed was slowly reduced. A gigantic mountain cave appeared in front of him. At the end of the mountain cave was a deep valley pervaded by spiritual mist.

“Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong should be inside of that deep valley. However, the spiritual mist present there is too dense, making it extremely difficult to search for them,” said Mao Jiang as he point towards the deep valley.

Mu Chen faintly nodded his head. Flicking his finger, a ray of Spiritual Energy shot out, before violently knock Mao Jiang unconscious. Hoisting him up, Mu Chen proceeded to shoot forward, rushing into the deep valley.

Upon entering the deep valley, Mu Chen’s vision received even more impedance. After pondering deeply awhile, Mu Chen shot towards the air as Spiritual Energy erupted from his body. Spiritual Energy burning with black flames rose to the sky akin to a smoke signal, causing much of the surrounding spiritual mist to dissipate.

The terrain within the deep valley was complicated. Coupled with the obstruction of the spiritual mist, it was too difficult to search for the two that were hidden within. Therefore, Mu Chen chose to directly release his Spiritual Energy. His Spiritual Energy fluctuations should be very familiar to Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong. If the two were to sense it, they would definitely give a signal in response.

This action by Mu Chen had achieved quite a good result. As his Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated out, within a short span of less than a minute, a ray of Spiritual Energy erupted from a place within the deep valley.

This Spiritual Energy fluctuation was rather familiar, it’s actually Shen Cangsheng’s.

Slight happiness erupted within Mu Chen’s heart, before shoot straight at the origin of the fluctuations. After a dozen breaths, his speed slowed down as his gaze faintly concentrated in his forward direction. Within the cliff present in his sight was a mountain cave. Present outside of the mountain cave was a figure standing tall and upright.

“Shen Cangsheng.”

Upon spotting that familiar figure, Mu Chen instantly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him. As he moved closer and noticed Shen Cangsheng’s appearance, he could not help feeling shock and astonishment.

At this moment, black blotches covered Shen Cangsheng’s skin. These black blotches seemed to be squirming, while a sinister and poisonous aura radiated from them, causing Shen Cangsheng to appear exceedingly pallid and haggard. However, even though his condition was extremely miserable and poor, a smile was still present on Shen Cangsheng’s face and the disdainful aura not reduced the slightest bit.

“Hey. Never expected that you’d be the first to arrive here. You truly surprised me.” Looking at Mu Chen, Shen Cangsheng couldn’t help smiling as he spoke out.

Landing at the entrance of the cave, Mu chen casually tossed Chi Yu and Mao Jiang, whom he was holding in his hands, towards the ground.

“That’s Chi Yu and Mao Jiang? You’ve actually dealt with them.” Seeing the two people, Shen Cangsheng felt slightly surprised. Although Chi Yu and Mao Jiang were ranked 7th and 8th, they were, after all, at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Stage, and could be considered formidable. He never expected that they would fall into Mu Chen’s hands.

“Senior Brother Lin Zheng and the rest had also rushed over here. However, the current situation doesn’t seem especially good.”

Mu Chen looked at Shen Cangsheng and asked, “How are the two of you?”

“Look’s like the situation isn’t too good,” replied Shen Cangsheng as he helpless shrugged his shoulders, before walking into the cave. As Mu Chen walked in, he noticed Li Xuantong, who was in a worse condition that Shen Cangsheng. The former’s black blotches were denser than the latter’s, while his entire body was permeated by those sinister and poisonous fluctuations.

As Li Xuantong raised his eyes, Mu Chen could also see a black blotch on his face. This made the former’s handsome-looking face appear somewhat strange. Noticing Mu Chen, he revealed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. Obviously, he also didn’t expect that the first person to find them would actually be the latter.

“What’s this all about?” Mu Chen somewhat didn’t understand this whole situation. With Shen Cangsheng’s and Li Xuantong’s strength, even if there were more enemies, they shouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable state.

“Mo Longzi had long prepared for us. His strength had already reached Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. He had always kept this hidden in our previous exchanges. Only at the end, when we were encircled by them, did that fellow expose his strength. Furthermore, he had brought out the Demonic Dragon Poison from the Demonic Dragon Palace. That’s an extremely toxic poison refined by a Sovereign, and extremely formidable. We’re not afraid of getting poisoned, but it’s just that our strength still can’t be restore,” replied Li Xuantong in a dull manner.

“Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase…”
