Nine Heavenly Star Art - Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Ye Chen passed through a dark tunnel and entered the Sunken Jade Tower . Looking ahead, a vast underground world appeared . The ground was covered with a towering forest full of jagged rocks where numerous black underground plants grew . The dusky sky concealed the top of the rocks but there would occasionally be colorful halations flowing .

This underground world was densely bound by restrictions and one could only pass through the narrow passageways between the restrictions .

From time to time, strange shrieking screams could be heard from a distance . Nearby was an open ground covered with crushed stones, and occasionally, a number of humans and beasts bones could be seen . No one knew who killed them but there were hundreds of such bones left behind . They were all dull and gray as if the corpses had been drained of blood .

In addition to the skeletons, there were also broken armor on the ground . They were armor that was forged with good metal . Although it had been years, they still glimmered coldly . However, the masters who had risked their lives to enter the Sunken Jade Tower would not be interested in these things .

Looking back, the entrance had been sealed off, leaving only a smooth stone wall . Anyone who had entered the Sunken Jade Tower would not be able to leave within half a month . The exit would only open half a month later .

Qiu Ying and the others would catch up to him in a few moments but in such a broad underground world, which direction would be safer to go? With no one to lead the way, Ye Chen was completely clueless about the situation here . If he walked around carelessly, he would easily encounter danger .

A shrill hiss rang out and Ye Chen raised his head to see countless evil spirits and demons in the sky, surrounding him like flying locusts . The shadowy cloud occasionally transformed into strange faces, greedily absorbing something .

Ye Chen felt the surrounding Celestial Chi energy constantly flowing .

The strength of these spirits and demons were at most equivalent to that of a Third of Fourth Level mystical beast . However, there were too many of them – almost tens of millions . Even a Tenth Level combatant could be expected to die miserably if besieged endlessly by such a group of spirits and demons .

Ye Chen immediately understood how the gray corpses on the ground came about!

When these evil spirits encountered groups of humans or mystical beasts, they would follow them like a group of vultures . If someone was alone or injured, they would frantically besiege that person .

Ye Chen, who was alone and injured, was certainly the most suitable prey for them .

Those d*mn bastards!

Ye Chen broke out in a mad dash . He could not let himself get surrounded by them, otherwise, he would certainly die miserably .

The evil spirits smelled the scent of blood on Ye Chen and grew agitated, frantically chasing after him .

Sh*t!

Ye Chen’s expression changed greatly . There were just too many evil spirits . If they caught up with Ye Chen, the Celestial Chi and blood in his body would be sucked dry . He would become a mummified corpse!

Running wildly, the evil spirits and demons grew in number behind Ye Chen . When he raised his head, he saw another group of evil spirits crowding in front of him .

Ye Chen was surrounded . The Celestial Chi on his body constantly dispelled outward as if it was being drawn away .

“Squeak squeak!” As Ye Chen despaired, Little Tanuki suddenly released astral energy . The evil spirits and demons seemed to touch something terrifying and scattered like birds and beasts, retreating three to five meters away and watching from a distance .

The Psyche of ordinary Ninth and Tenth Level Celestial Beasts could only scare off evil spirits but Little Tanuki had a unique astral energy that was different from ordinary Psyches .

It turned out that these evil spirits were afraid of that!

Qiu Ying and the others would be entering soon . Ye Chen immediately released astral energy to protect Little Tanuki and himself, keeping the evil spirits away, and ran wildly . The evil spirits and demons thought that Ye Chen was a super powerhouse and dispersed, not daring to continue chasing after him .

With the astral energy, Ye Chen did not have to be afraid of these evil spirits! The evil spirits could not do anything to him and he felt a little calmer . The first floor of this Sunken Jade Tower was not that scary now .

Ye Chen had not run far before finding a roaring river flowing down toward an endless darkness .

There seemed to be hidden dangers in the depths of the river . Ye Chen swept his Astral Body across the river and found that several evil spirits were hiding within . They were above Seventh and Eighth Level, and there were even Ninth and Tenth Level . The evil spirits in the water were of a higher level!

Ye Chen was not afraid of these evil spirits but he would be in trouble if Qiu Ying and the others caught up to him . There would be no way out . He dived into the rapidly flowing river and his body was soon taken away by the current .

A moment later, several people entered the Sunken Jade Tower . It was Qiu Ying and the others .

“That boy escaped into the river!” An eagle-eyed guard saw Ye Chen jumping into the roaring river seven to eight hundred meters away .

“After him!” Qiu Ying and the others flew after him .

Countless evil spirits surrounded them, shrieking . The sounds were particularly piercing .

Liu Xun, Liu Kan, and the others paled and all took action . Bang bang bang, the evil spirits were killed one after another .

“These d*mn monsters!” Qiu Ying detested these things and fiercely shot out a palm of fire . A dozen evil spirits shrieked and exploded, burned by the flame until there was nothing left .

After they killed a large number of the evil spirits, the remaining ones stayed away and watched the humans from a distance of five or six meters, squawking from time to time .

Looking at the many evil spirits floating around them, afraid to approach, Liu Kan frowned and asked, “What do we now?”

“That Ye Chen boy is a little strange . He was injured and alone, so he should’ve been besieged by the evil spirits but incredibly, he managed to run so far away . It’s clear that he had a method to avoid evil spirits . We can’t let that boy escape . We have to find him if he’s alive and even if he’s dead, we still have to see his corpse . If that boy gets away, we can forget about living peacefully in the future!” Qiu Ying said coldly . “Chase after him!”

The group of people chased after Ye Chen in the direction of the river . The Sunken Jade Tower was full of dangers in every corner and none of them dared to jump into the river . Who knew what dangers lurked in it?

“We’ll look along the river . If we encounter any trouble, we can still come back along the river,” Qiu Ying said after thinking through .

Hearing Qiu Ying’s words, their eyes brightened . As expected of the Prime Minister . The Sunken Jade Tower was vast and one might not be able to get out in a few months if they got lost . They only brought along two months’ worth of food and there was the possibility of starving to death here . However, if they followed the river, there would be no such problems .

Ye Chen followed the fast-flowing river down . Icy cold energy emerged from the depths of the river as if something was about to surface from underneath, causing his hair to stand on end .
