Chapter 1322 - 840: Do Not Ask

The mentor and student duo took a military plane and arrived in Gossoxone at night.

Returning to this rich country once more, Du Yu was filled with emotions.

The last time he came here on a mission was because of the Ancient Spiritual Artifact· Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Bracelet. At that time, his strength was still lacking, and he fought fiercely with the criminals of the Golden Lion Corps.

This time revisiting, Du Yu feared nothing of the Golden, Silver, or Iron Lions...

Dare to come?

This king will directly throw you into the Bottomless Pit, to feed the Cold Beast!

As the military plane landed and slowly came to a halt on the runway, Du Yu looked up at Master Qing: "Should I go to the Sea Realm to get Senior Brother and the others?"

"Go ahead." Yang Qingqing spoke while unfolding a scroll in her hand.

She immediately saw in the foreground Lin Shiwei sitting with her back to the Celestial Gate, waiting on a broad Dixiu Leaf for the summons.

Yang Qingqing lightly tapped the scroll with her finger, and a grey little bird appeared suddenly, fluttering before the girl.

Strangely, even before the bird appeared, the girl had already opened her eyes and was looking at the empty space ahead.

Until the bird appeared, Lin Shiwei patted the leaf under her: "Thank you, Dixiu."

"No problem, be careful." The Dixiu Leaf slightly tilted, sending Lin Shiwei into the transparent Celestial Gate.

Lin Shiwei quickly scanned around, finding herself in a passenger cabin, with only Master Qing beside her.

"When did you come out of the You Huang Realm?" Yang Qingqing asked, sitting in her chair, looking up at the girl.

Lin Shiwei: "Afternoon."

Yang Qingqing: "When did Chi Ancestor contact you?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Shiwei hesitated.

This was extremely rare!

Lin Shiwei had always been respectful to Master Qing, and had always answered her master’s questions promptly.

Yang Qingqing furrowed her brows slightly, observing the girl’s expression: "Is it about Du Yu?"

Lin Shiwei pursed her lips but still didn’t speak.

Yang Qingqing nodded gently: "If you can’t say, don’t say it."

Lin Shiwei sighed in relief, bowed her head: "Yes, Master Qing."

"Whew~"

Suddenly, a bell shadow flickered, and the group of Feng, Jian, Yu, and Nan appeared in the cabin.

Among them, Senior Sister Jiang Feng was someone Lin Shiwei hadn’t seen in a long time.

Senior Sister hadn’t changed much, just her hair had grown a bit, and she looked full of energy and spirit.

For more than the past two months, Senior Sister Jiang Feng had been single-mindedly cultivating within the Peach Blossom Realm· Huangtu Temple, and it was evident she had gained a lot.

Honestly, only a Demon Tamer could endure such solitude.

If it were ordinary people trapped in a deserted temple for 2 whole months, they might go crazy...

Yang Qingqing stood up, looking at the students gathered together: "Let’s go."

"Yes!"

"Yes." Fu Jianzhou took the lead, heading toward the rear cabin door.

The others followed suit, while Li Mengnan secretly nudged closer to Lin Shiwei and quietly held her third sister’s hand.

The girl’s palm revealed a Demon Soul, privately communicating: "Third sister, what did Chi Ancestor say to you?"

This time, Lin Shiwei’s response was resolute: "I can’t say, Mengnan, don’t ask."

Li Mengnan’s face fell: "Ah..."

Lin Shiwei squeezed the girl’s hand reassuringly: "Don’t worry, we just need to carry out the mission step by step, everything will be fine."

Li Mengnan felt helpless inside and could only nod silently.

The Cyan Sect team of six had just disembarked from the passenger plane and got onto a helicopter, quickly taken by the Demon Spirit Squad to a small town over a hundred kilometers east of the Gossoxone Capital City.

This town had a beautiful name, which translated to "Xiangcha."

Regrettably, as the helicopter flew over the town, Du Yu saw only darkness.

Xiangcha City under the night was devoid of lights, as the people had already evacuated.

Because a Bottomless Abyss had brazenly opened within the city, and at the busy market street no less!

When the plane flew overhead, Du Yu’s heart was filled with fury!

So audacious!

His mind recalled the scene provided by Chi Ancestor, of the completely destroyed Ancient Pine Tower City by the Bottomless Abyss.

The ground shook, buildings collapsed, and screams and cries were endless.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that the civilians living here must have experienced such a dark moment.

On the plane, everyone was either angry or sympathetic, sharing similar emotions.

And even angrier than Du Yu was Senior Sister Jiang Feng.

She had cultivated with a tranquil heart for over two months, but the appearance of this Bottomless Pit completely ignited Jiang Feng’s fury.

Du Yu only saw the future scene provided by Chi Ancestor, which hadn’t actually occurred yet.

But Jiang Feng had experienced such nights truly and vividly!

The seething anger in her heart intimidated everyone on the helicopter.

Jiang Feng had advanced to the Demon Emperor· Initial Stage on September 1st last year, and now she was at the Demon Emperor· Minor Achievement Stage, closely following Master Qing’s footsteps towards the Demon Taming Saint.

Such a powerful Demon Tamer, once truly angry, is definitely enough for the world to endure!

"Xiaofeng."

"Here!" Jiang Feng suddenly awoke, her hand gripping the cabin door, rapidly restraining her aura.

Yang Qingqing spoke softly: "Save your anger for the Bottomless."

"Yes!" Jiang Feng’s response was firm and resounding.

Du Yu leaned forward, patted Senior Sister’s shoulder with one hand, and supported himself on her body, looking down.

This Bottomless Abyss had just opened not long ago, and the defense works built by the human troops were rough, entirely relying on Earth Element Demon Beast’s Demon Skill for support.

The only thing that comforted Du Yu was that at least there was still some light within the human race’s military camp.

This city wasn’t all in darkness.

"Go." Yang Qingqing ordered.

Du Yu leaped downward, followed by the Cyan Sect members jumping off the helicopter like dumplings.

The soldiers stationed in the camp below had heard the helicopter blades early on.

Now seeing the line of Demon Tamers swiftly descending from the night sky, the soldiers’ hearts were filled with excitement!

When it comes to fighting Youhan, people surely think of these Demon Tamers from Great Xia.

This empty ghost city has already left the soldiers’ hearts feeling miserable, and the terrifying bottomless abyss fills them with a bit of dread.

The arrival of the Cyan Sect is nothing short of a morale booster!

Yang Qingqing: "Jianzhou, Mengnan, you two go negotiate with the ground forces, the rest descend to the bottomless."

"Whoosh~ whoosh!"

Yang Qingqing, Jiang Feng, Du Yu, and Lin Shiwei dove into the subterranean like divers, not even creating a "splash."

Only Fu Jianzhou and Li Mengnan lacked the earth escape technique; conveniently, they were assigned to negotiate with the military police.

Upon landing, Li Mengnan realized and mumbled softly: "We’re being shunned."

Fu Jianzhou: "..."

He glanced at Li Mengnan and pointed to his ear.

"Hmm." Li Mengnan covered her small mouth, remembering that they had all put on invisible headphones while flying to Xiangcha City.

Simultaneously, the other four had already penetrated the earth, entering the maze built by the human race.

The number of layers in this bottomless maze is pitifully few, only three layers.

"Master Qing, there are soldiers over there!" Du Yu stopped as soon as he descended one maze level.

In the distant corridor, one could see the silhouettes of human troops engaged in combat with cold beasts.

"Our target is the Cold Tree." Yang Qingqing swept down from Du Yu’s side, "Cold beasts are endless."

Indeed, obliterating the Cold Tree and sealing the Bottomless Gate is the real solution!

Du Yu paid no more attention to the soldiers in the distance, continuing to head downward.

Having pierced through two more maze levels, the four reached the interior of the abyss.

Instantly, a thick cold Qi rapidly escaped, creating a bizarre scene, making the group exceptionally formidable!

Yang Qingqing said nothing, raising an exquisite Jade Gourd in her hand: "Xiaofeng."

"Yes!"

Jiang Feng pressed palms together, closing his beautiful slender eyes, chanting softly: "One Three Spirits Coin, keep me safe."

"Rustle~" a pleasing sound of copper money echoed from her neck.

Du Yu stared at the unseen world for a long time, feeling a bit stupefied.

He had seen Senior Sister employ the Ancient Spiritual Artifact· Three Spirits Coin before, and Jiang Feng, with her military background, was always swift and decisive.

But after a two-month absence, seeing Senior Sister Jiang Feng today, Du Yu surprisingly saw the word "devotion" in her actions!

What’s happening?

Did Senior Sister attain enlightenment after practicing in the desolate Earth God Temple for two months...?

Yet there were no immortals in that temple, right?

Who is she believing in?

"Whooo!!" A fierce wind rose, dust swirling violently.

Gusts of yellow sand swept up, piling layer upon layer quickly constructing a sand wall.

At the same time, Yang Qingqing’s Jade Gourd shattered.

Vivid green energy spread around, adhering to the sand wall, expanding its domain.

"Master Qing." Fu Jianzhou’s voice came through everyone’s headphones.

"Speak."

"No soldiers below the maze, the ground forces knew we were coming and set up a defensive net only in the three maze levels. We can proceed as planned."

"Hmm, come down." Yang Qingqing closed her eyes, manipulating the Jade Gourd to invade the bottomless,"Protect your junior brother going down."

"Yes."

"Meow!!" A sharp cat screech erupted by the ear, overlapping with Senior Brother Fu’s response.

Within the abyss below, a black shadow darted rapidly.

Du Yu quickly lowered his head, instinctively summoning Elemental Demon Soldiers, seamlessly nocking an arrow.

However, with Lin Shiwei by his side, there was no chance for Du Yu to act in melee combat.

As Du Yu nocked his arrow, General Lin was already several meters ahead, grabbing the cat’s head.

"Jingle~ jingle~"

The bell around the Evil Soul Cat’s neck rang, mixed with a crisp bone snapping sound.

Claimed as the Death Messenger of the abyss, its neck was twisted. The dignified spirit-level Cold Beast was discarded like trash by the girl.

Du Yu smiled and shook his head, dispersing the Elemental Demon Soldiers in his hand.

Lin Shiwei’s long, black dress swirled, swooping back, guarding the front and lower side of the group.

She stared intensely at a giant tree on the lower left, a surge of Demon Breath pouring out of her.

Next moment, Lin Shiwei slightly opened her mouth, exhaling softly.

Her left eye shone brilliantly, shooting an electric current.

Her right eye burned fiercely, shooting a black fire line.

From her tender lips, she exhaled a wind beam mingled with thick yellow sand and specks of green glow.

Human-Pet Joint Skill· Five Skulls Pilgrimage!

Clearly something for five Ghost Skulls, Lin Shiwei accomplished it with her eyes and mouth!

"Boom!!!"

A total of five outputs converged at one point, and just as a Red Mud Fire Stove emerged behind the tree, it was blasted downward by Demon Skill· Five Skulls Pilgrimage.

The girl’s attack didn’t vanquish the opponent, but it did cause the Red Mud Fire Stove and a Blood Wind Bat to collide head-on.

The Red Mud Fire Stove exploded, instantly sending both Cold Beasts flying.

Du Yu frowned deeply, not because Lin Shiwei’s technique was extraordinary, but because...

How did she know there was a Red Mud Fire Stove behind the tree?

Or rather, how did she know a fire stove would appear there?

Du Yu was accompanied by several Supreme Saints! Without exaggeration, his perception ability was unmatched.

Even Little Fen Yang, Kui Chou, and Flowing Fire showed no reaction, how did Lin Shiwei perceive the enemy’s presence?

The more he thought, the stranger it seemed to Du Yu.

He looked toward Lin Shiwei below, yet the girl still stood vigilantly on guard.

Tolerating for a while, Du Yu finally asked, "Shi..."

Only the word "wei" was still to be spoken when Lin Shiwei interrupted, "Don’t ask."

Du Yu: ???
