From the president’s words, Lu Chen learned that the Night Spirit Pearl could unlock a secret realm deep within, corroborating what Chen Tanzhi had ntioned.
Having co to the Sky Abyss and circled around for so long, it would be in vain if they turned back now because of the Night Spirit Pearl.
"Senior, what should we do?"
Chen Tanzhi felt uncertain and had no choice but to ask.
"Master, let go. Now that the Abyssal Prohibition has been activated, you can go ahead. I’m very fast and won’t be affected,"
the little black serpent volunteered.
"You’re going? What if you encounter a tiger demon?"
He had actually thought about sending the black serpent back but was worried about danger.
As for Chen Tanzhi...
To tell the truth, he did not trust him.
What if Chen Tanzhi knew more than he had let on and ran off with the Night Spirit Pearl?
"Master, rest assured," the serpent hissed, "that tiger demon must be wary of my venom. Others can’t see hidden on your person, but the tiger demon’s keen sense of sll will definitely detect my presence!"
"You make so sense, but what if..."
Lu Chen still had so reservations.
However, the serpent spoke boldly, "Master, aside from , there are no other suitable options. Do you expect the people in the valley to deliver it? Besides, Chen Tanzhi can’t see in the dark, and it might take him a long ti to go back! Moreover, if he leaves, who will guide us?"
The serpent was highly intelligent; its words took Chen Tanzhi’s feelings into account and emphasized his usefulness, so as not to irritate him.
"You’re right," Lu Chen sighed and said, "Little Black, rember to be careful when you go back. If you encounter the tiger demon, prioritize your own safety! Treasures can be found at any ti, but if sothing happens to you, that would be..."
Deeply moved, the serpent knew it had followed the right person. Nodding, it said, "Master, rest assured, I know what I’m doing! A single tiger demon might not even be a match for !"
"But don’t be too complacent."
Lu Chen frowned and warned, "I’ll leave marks along the way, just follow them when you co!"
Traveling with Chen Tanzhi, Lu Chen was not moving quickly, confident that the serpent could catch up later.
"Master, Little Black is on his way!"
The serpent slithered out from the sleeve, turning bigger as it hit the ground.
But it did not grow to its full size, just as thick as Lu Chen’s arm.
With such a size, it wouldn’t be too slow and could easily navigate through the forest without being detected.
"Alright, let’s go in now."
Lu Chen patted Chen Tanzhi’s shoulder, and the two stepped into the depths of the Sky Abyss!
Chen Tanzhi couldn’t feel anything, but Lu Chen clearly felt as if passing through a curtain of water.
Only, this curtain was made of spiritual power.
He paused and employed the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique for a quick look.
Indeed, a gray-white barrier, like a curtain, appeared before his eyes.
"Is this a Formation?"
Lu Chen, still a novice scholar, was unsure and could only speculate.
If this was a Formation, it was astoundingly magnificent.
How vast was the Sky Abyss?
...
The black serpent moved ceaselessly, not stopping for a mont.
After several days, it finally returned to the valley.
Upon learning that the Night Spirit Pearl was needed, Mu Xiao handed it over without hesitation.
The serpent carefully kept the Night Spirit Pearl in its mouth, nodded, and set off back the way it ca.
On its way there, it had already encountered many martial artists.
It was evident that the news of the weakening prohibition in the depths of the Sky Abyss had spread completely.
"More and more martial artists are coming, and they’re getting stronger... Who knows if a scholar will co?"
Instinct told the serpent it needed to reunite with Lu Chen quickly, yet as it was about to leave the valley, it suddenly sensed the presence of two martial artists!
It imdiately stopped and carefully coiled up in a thicket.
Two silhouettes entered its vertical pupils.
"Senior sister, shall we go directly to the depths of the Sky Abyss?"
"Yes, since the Lu Chen you’re looking for isn’t at Heavenly Book Academy, if he has ventured into the Sky Abyss, he must have gone in already. Let’s head there straight away!"
Lu Chen?
Could it be his own master, Lu Chen?
The black serpent was puzzled, but it was also wary of revealing itself to the two scholars, and it feared the Night Spirit Pearl might fall out if it opened its mouth...
