Chapter 2289: Chapter 2284: Chance Encounter on the Island

After Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er packed their things, they left West Continent City. Not many people in West Continent City knew about this news.

At the same time, Ying Chou was surprised to find himself in a base once established by an Abyss Demon.

This base looked large and even luxurious, but for some unknown reasons, it was abandoned by the Abyss Demons, and it appeared they left in a hurry.

Ying Chou passed by several statues of Demon Monarchs and then reached the place where the Demons lived.

There were some items commonly used by Inferior Demons there, and he even discovered some Jade Scrolls.

The characters recorded in the Jade Scrolls were the same as what Ying Chou learned after arriving in Taoyuan World. These Jade Scrolls recorded a lot about the Cultivation Techniques and the history of the Demon Abyss.

What terrified Ying Chou was one particular Jade Scroll. The owner of the Jade Scroll was a Demon named Shadow Piercing Tutu. He was a Demon who loved to write diaries.

He recorded almost every day’s events. But after coming to this camp, the things he recorded made Ying Chou take a deep breath.

Seventeenth day.

I, Shadow Piercing Tutu, descendant of the great Shadow Stab Demon Monarch, deputy to the great Gan Na. This time after the Abyss Demon Eye left, we found a cave that looked like a camp, which excited Gan Na greatly. He believed we could build the Vanguard Camp here, saving a lot of time and effort.

Although I’m not sure why, there’s an unease at the bottom of my heart.

Eighteenth day.

After Gan Na entered the Vanguard Camp, he ordered the Goulian Beasts to start digging. We found some corpses that looked like they were used for sacrificial ceremonies. Could it be, this was left by those annoying folks from the Demon Slayer Clan?

I shared my thoughts with Gan Na. But Gan Na didn’t agree with me; he handed me a skeleton of someone who was sacrificed. Heavens, that’s not human at all, it’s simply a monster. That’s right, it’s a monster.

Nineteenth day.

I never imagined even in my dreams that Taoyuan World connects not only to the Demon Abyss and Immortal Mountain. I must pass this message out, I.....

The words on the Jade Scroll did not continue.

The Demon named Shadow Piercing Tutu must have been killed while recording the diary on the Jade Scroll.

A powerful Demon fell here.

Could there be other races existing in Demon Origin Mountain? Regardless of which, even hearing about it is terrifying.

Ying Chou continued searching and indeed found many remnants of Demon Abyss Demons and Inferior Demons. They seemed to have been cooked, their flesh peeled off piece by piece.

Ying Chou felt a chill in his hands and feet, a race that even Abyss Demons fear, present in Demon Origin Mountain.

This is such a terrifying thought. What’s more, people from that race might be hiding in this ruins.

Ying Chou took a deep breath, took out a new Jade Scroll, marked the location of the ruins, then walked outside.

The camp was large, and it took Ying Chou two days to walk from where he was to the edge.

Ying Chou sorted out the few food items in his Storage Ring, and then touched the mechanism on the stone wall.

With a creaking sound, the Stone Wall Gate slowly rose, revealing a passage leading to Xiaxiang Mountain. As Ying Chou walked through the passage to the outside, all he could see was the vast blue ocean.

"Is Demon Origin Mountain next to the sea? It doesn’t seem like it is."

Ying Chou looked at the large ocean with surprise written all over his face.

Indeed, West Desolation is next to Demon Abyss Sea, but between Demon Abyss Sea and Demon Origin Mountain stands two mountain ranges and a plain, and yet, after leaving the belly of Demon Origin Mountain, he appeared on an island.

Turning to look down, there was a dark cave, seemingly always ready to draw one in.

Ying Chou hurriedly took two steps away, and with a creaking sound, the circular stone that previously blocked the cave rolled over, sealing it tightly.

Ying Chou used his Immortal Energy to blast at it, but couldn’t find a way to open it from the outside.

"Damn it, this place is indeed strange. But fortunately, I’ve already left Demon Origin Mountain; I should hurry back to report the matters regarding Demon Abyss Demons and the mysterious race to Tang Ming, the City Lord."

Ying Chou thought, and began searching the island.

Contrary to what Ying Chou expected, there was no pier or boats here, but there were many trees on the island.

Ying Chou had some knowledge of refining Magic Treasures for crafting boats, after all, he lived in Hailong City for many years.

Quickly chopping down the trees on the island, Ying Chou soon refined a small boat capable of sailing.

The boat was placed beside the island and quickly sailed out.

Ying Chou sat on the boat, looked at the Cultivation Methods left by the Demons, and slowly closed his eyes, uncertain of the distance to West Continent City.

After drifting continuously at sea for three days, Ying Chou finally reached the first small island he saw, where he encountered an old acquaintance.

The old acquaintance was none other than the Fearful Demonic Old Man Lu Gou.

Lu Gou’s five disciples, two died at the hands of Hu Jiuze. Two were turned into Inferior Demons by the old demons of West Desolation. The other inherited his legacy and practiced his self-created Demon Technique.

As Ying Chou’s boat drifted over, Zeng Qiang happened to be fishing on the shore. Because Ying Chou had seen Zeng Qiang’s appearance before, he let down his guard.

Zeng Qiang was equally surprised, not expecting Ying Chou to appear here.

"You are Tang Ming’s subordinate with the surname Ying, right?"

Zeng Qiang glanced at Ying Chou, then asked.

"My name is Ying Chou. You must be Zeng Qiang, Brother Zeng. I heard you and Fearful Demonic Old Man Lu Gou came to Demon Abyss Sea, didn’t expect this really was Demon Abyss Sea."

Ying Chou sighed deeply.

However, Zeng Qiang showed a strange expression; "You didn’t know this was Demon Abyss Sea? Then how did you end up here?"

Ying Chou shook his head at Zeng Qiang: "Is Senior Lu Gou here? I wish to meet him."

"Sure, I’ll go let my Master know. I’m sure Master would be delighted to see you."

Zeng Qiang smiled at Ying Chou, then replied.

Though Meng Xiao and Zeng Xing fell to Hu Jiuze, the hostility between Zeng Qiang and Zeng Mang eased considerably after receiving the refined Demon Abyss essence from Tang Ming.

The Zeng siblings, despite their grievances against Hu Jiuze, were suppressed by Lu Gou.

After all, Tang Ming managed to endure two moves from Lu Gou.

After Lu Gou brought the Zeng siblings to this island, both Zeng Qiang and Zeng Mang realized the true power of the Demon Abyss essence given by Tang Ming.

Now, after changing their Cultivation Technique, both Zeng Qiang and Zeng Mang are just one step away from becoming Demons.
