CHAPTER 478: CHAPTER 477: KILLING INTENT_1

"Are you serious?"

In Xia Yunxin’s beautiful eyes, there was no hint of fluctuation, but a touch of joy seemed to emerge. "Does this mean anything is possible?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. "Anything is possible, as long as it’s within my capabilities."

"Remember, you said this."

Xia Yunxin removed Ling Chen’s hand from her shoulder, then extended her jade-like fingers and playfully lifted Ling Chen’s chin. "You really are an innocent guy."

After saying this, she moved her body and waved her hand, causing a clean set of clothes to fly upward. At the same speed her body erupted from the water, they wrapped around her delicate figure.

When Ling Chen’s gaze fell on Xia Yunxin again, she had already landed on the shore.

"You haven’t told me yet, what favor do you need from me?" Ling Chen, watching Xia Yunxin’s alluring back, could not help but ask.

"I haven’t thought of it yet. I’ll tell you when I’ve decided."

Xia Yunxin had already gone far, but her voice still carried far across the distance.

Seeing Xia Yunxin leave, Ling Chen’s hanging heart fell. However, the events that had just transpired made it difficult for his state of mind to calm for quite some time.

...

For a long subsequent period, Ling Chen was busily practicing his swordsmanship and stabilizing his cultivation.

During the day, he continued to practice his Unbeatable Sword Technique in the vicinity, and at night, he soaked himself in the Jade Liquid Spirit Pool, relaxing his body and purifying the impurities within it.

After half a month, it was finally the time for the Bottomless Demon Abyss to open.

「Deep inside the Magic Fog Mountain.」

The location of the Bottomless Demon Abyss is accurately on the outskirts of Magic Fog Mountain, but the area had been enveloped by an almost infinite amount of Devil Qi. Consequently, a mind-confusing aura filled the air, so nobody dared to approach within dozens of miles. This, in turn, made the area almost a dead zone.

When Ling Chen arrived at the outskirts of Magic Fog Mountain, there were already a substantial number of people swarming the place. Ling Chen glanced around and found that not only experts from the Saint Witch Religion but also those from other Demon Path Sects had gathered in large numbers.

"Ling Chen."

A pleasing female voice called out. Ling Chen turned around to look, and it was indeed Xia Yunxin calling his name. Xia Yunxin’s expression was as usual, seemingly unaffected by the incident last time. Nothing seemed to have changed, nor were any grudges left between them. In response, Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Nodding, Ling Chen looked at the dense crowd around him, murmuring, "This is quite a turnout."

"The Devil Qi inside the Bottomless Demon Abyss fluctuates wildly, and only when it’s at its weakest is it the best time to enter. Otherwise, even a Top Sky Apex Strong wouldn’t be able to withstand it," Xia Yunxin calmly said. "Now is the best time to enter the Bottomless Demon Abyss. Not only us Disciples, but even those demons who are Great Master Ninth Level will also enter the Bottomless Demon Abyss, hoping luck will favor them."

"I see."

Ling Chen’s eyes brightened. He then glanced around, which explained why so many demons who were Great Master Ninth Level were here today. Over at Skypiercing Peak, not only Xie Zhiqiu, but also older demons from the Green-faced Demon Sect, Tiger Demon Sect, Bull Demon Sect, Leopard Demon Sect, and others had all appeared.

As Ling Chen and Xie Zhiqiu, along with others from Skypiercing Peak, locked eyes, a sudden expression of gloom emerged in the latter’s eyes. Being defeated by Ling Chen in the Sky Demon Tower, and further being swept out and chased away from the tower, was a disgrace Xie Zhiqiu had never experienced before in his life. After coming out of the Sky Demon Tower, Xie Zhiqiu had lost the throne of the supreme young leader of the Demon Path. In the eyes of most Demon Path Disciples, Ling Chen had become the new supreme young leader of the Demon Path.

With this in mind, a sense of hatred shone in Xie Zhiqiu’s eyes.

"Nephew Xie, don’t be angry. This time inside the Bottomless Demon Abyss, we will all intervene, ensuring that the little beast can enter, but not exit!" the Green-faced Demon Sect elder sternly voiced from the side.

Xie Zhiqiu nodded. "Then I will have to rely heavily on all of you." Although he was very confident in killing Ling Chen himself this time, he knew that to ensure success, the power of the Green-faced Demon Sect and others would be indispensable.

The Tiger Demon Sect elder also showed a serious expression. "This time, the risk is great. If we don’t make a move, it’s fine, but once we do, we have to completely annihilate this kid and not give him a chance to escape. Otherwise, if the Saintess learns that we’ve intervened, not only will we be in trouble, but even the Sect Leader would face punishment from the Saintess."

Upon hearing this, the Green-faced Demon Sect elder and others also frowned. They had all witnessed the last fight between Liu Xiling and Sikong Yi, in which Sikong Yi had suffered a terrible defeat, barely putting up any resistance against Liu Xiling.

"No need to worry. Ever since Master was defeated by the Saintess, he has been determined to make a comeback. He has now broken through the Fourth Level of the Demon Emperor’s Scripture and reached the Entering Devil to Seal the Emperor Realm. His strength has greatly increased, and now, he is actively mastering a treasure of our sect, preparing an Absolute Kill trump card against the Saintess. If he succeeds, he will be able to dismiss the Saintess and eliminate the entire Saintess Hall!" A gleam shone in Xie Zhiqiu’s eyes.

"Is that so?"

The Youth Demon Sect and other demons from Skypiercing Peak suddenly brightened at the news. What were they afraid of then? This time, entering the Bottomless Demon Abyss, they would avenge their grudges and grievances and make sure Ling Chen died inside! As for the Saintess, they just had to wait for Sikong Yi to be ready, and then she too could be eliminated. They no longer had anything to worry about!

By Ling Chen’s side, Xia Yunxin watched these events unfold, then chuckled, "Looks like this group is scheming again, probably plotting how to kill you."

Ling Chen let out a cold laugh. "For them, this indeed seems to be a golden opportunity." The last time Sikong Yi was defeated by Liu Xiling, Skypiercing Peak had been laying low ever since. While under Liu Xiling’s watchful eyes, no one dared to make a move on me. Inside the Bottomless Demon Abyss, however, dangers lay hidden and unpredictable. If I were to die inside, there would be no trace, and even Liu Xiling wouldn’t be able to blame them for it.

"I heard that Xie Zhiqiu has also prepared some tricks for you this time."

"Let them all come. This time we’ll settle everything." Ling Chen was rather looking forward to it. On the outside, I couldn’t just start a massacre, but once inside, another Life and Death trial will take place. Engaging in a battle of wits with these demons, it will then be seen who dies at whose hands.

"Our Saintess Hall will also send Grand Masters of the Nine Heavy Realm into the Bottomless Demon Abyss this time. It won’t be easy for the Green-faced Demon Sect and the others if they want to cause trouble," said Xia Yunxin.

Following this, in the area behind her, several extremely powerful auras erupted. These were Great Master Ninth Level Experts from the Saintess Hall.

The two forces confronted each other, forming a standoff around the Bottomless Demon Abyss.

"Hmph, no need to argue with him. Once we’re in the Bottomless Demon Abyss, his days are numbered." Xie Zhiqiu’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent, and he raised his hand, signaling the people from Skypiercing Peak to stop. Once we are in the Bottomless Demon Abyss, Ling Chen will naturally get what’s coming to him.
