Chapter 53: The Abyss (Part 1)

  Thanks for the reward from book friend "Daqin Xianfeng".

  Here is the translation:

  That's it for today, please forgive me, brothers. Firstly, my mental state isn't good, and secondly, I need to rethink this plot carefully, fearing some big problems might arise. This time, I owe you all an update, next week I'll find a time to make up for it with three updates.

  ————

  Zongyuan City

  This is a large city in the Eastern Territory, where everything is prosperous and the number of cultivators can be counted in tens of thousands. There are many ancient cultivation families in the city, whose heritage may not be as good as some other places for cultivation, but their foundation is still not to be underestimated.

  Three hundred miles east of the city, a young man with a scar on his face walked quickly with another man. They were in a great hurry, as if they had some urgent business to attend to.

  "Master, where is my junior brother exactly?" Qin Feng asked.

  Although he had only met his second younger martial brother once, Qin Feng thought that a young child was in danger and felt anxious and uncomfortable. How old was his younger martial brother? He was only sixteen years old, would he be scared?

  Jiang Xiaoyu helplessly shook his head, the system prompt should be around here, still need to continue walking forward. After ten days and nights of continuous travel, both of them relied on spiritual energy to support their physical nutrition, fortunately Jiang Xiaoyu had some returning spirit pills before, which was just enough to maintain his spiritual energy.

  "Go! Go! People in front, get out of the way!"

  Three people, two men and one woman, each riding a fiery red horse, the horses' bodies covered in flame-like patterns, truly bright and dazzling, looking extremely good.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's face changed, and he initially wanted to take action, but thought better of it and pulled Qin Feng to stand aside. The other party was also being polite, shouting loudly from a distance, and judging by their appearance, they seemed to have some urgent matter as well.

  Three people rode horses and passed by. In a fleeting moment of intersection, they couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiaoyu and Qin Feng. Jiang Xiaoyu was completely indifferent to this.

  However, this horse's speed was indeed fast, and soon the three people became ant-sized in Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes.

  After a while, Qin Feng sighed: "These three people must have an extraordinary background, and they can even ride the fierce fire horse!"

  "What's this 'Burning Horse'?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked in confusion.

  The two masters and apprentices continued on their way, although they were talking, but this did not hinder their speed of action.

  Qin Feng explained, "The Blazing Horses can travel a thousand miles in a day without eating or drinking! Each of the Blazing Horses has the strength of a thousand catties, which is quite terrifying! In the market, such horses are worth at least two million spirit stones. Those three horses are equivalent to six million."

  "Oh~" Jiang Xiao Yu's face was very calm, but his heart was extremely anxious. Sixty million spirit stones!? Scaring dad to death?! He himself only had a little over twenty thousand spirit stones now. The last time he ate, he ate too much! Now thinking about it, what a waste!

  "Master, it seems we've gone off topic..." Qin Feng suddenly thought.

  "Being able to realize one's own mistakes makes me proud of you as a teacher." Jiang Xiaoyu nodded.

  Looking at the prompts given by the system, it shouldn't be too far away. The system gives you twenty days for yourself, so that means, Fang Hen can survive for at least twenty days or so.

  I remember the last time such a task appeared, it was because someone wanted to force Sun Xiao Kong's Dou Zhan Sheng Fa, but the system didn't give out such a strong warning. This time, it's completely because there is a threat to life, and more importantly, the Gong Fa may be leaked out.

  The system would naturally never let the Kung Fu leak out, so it arranged such a task for itself. In order not to lose the promotion points or whatever, Jiang Xiaoyu only wanted to rescue his own apprentice.

  Zongyuan City.

  Looking at the three big characters on the city wall, Jiang Xiaoyu frowned. According to the system's prompt, Fang Hen should be inside this city, but the city is so big, where can he find a person? After thinking for a moment, he took Qin Feng and walked into the city.

  Now I can only take it one step at a time, the system's prompts continue, but relying solely on the system's prompts is not enough. After all, the help provided by this thing is limited, and some main things still need to be investigated by myself.

  Found an inn to stay in, it was a double room. Didn't know why he came to this city, Jiang Xiao Yu always felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if something made him feel uneasy. This feeling was terrible, he hated it very much.

  "Master, have a cup of tea!" Qin Feng poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

  Taking the teacup, Jiang Xiaoyu absent-mindedly took a sip and sat there in a daze. Seeing his master deep in thought, Qin Feng didn't disturb him either, he sat cross-legged on his own bed and began to cultivate. The ancient relic's trial, he still hadn't had time to digest it yet, for the safety of his junior brother, he followed his master without stopping, where did he have time to cultivate?

  After about an hour, Jiang Xiaoyu finally came back to his senses, as if he had thought of something right, and nodded involuntarily. He looked at Qin Feng again who was still cultivating, then left the guest room alone.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's expression was serious as he descended the stairs. Many people were eating, and he found an empty seat to sit down.

  "Welcome, sir! What can I get for you?" The waiter hurried over to greet him.

  "Does KFC have a family bucket?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

  "No, nothing." The shopkeeper looked a bit embarrassed.

  Their guesthouse menu he remembered very clearly, indeed there was no such dish as KFC Family Bucket. Moreover, the name was quite strange, KFC Family was okay, but why did they want to get involved?

  He shook his head helplessly, too many annoying things, he's a bit abnormal now, decided not to make it difficult for Xiao Er, so he ordered a few normal dishes and also asked for a good wine.

  After a while, Jiang Xiaoyu drank and ate meat, feeling extremely pleased in his heart. His troubles unconsciously kept their distance from him.

  "Hunger tells us that when the stomach is empty, it's hard to think of a good solution! Although I'm not too hungry, just a little peckish." Jiang Xiaoyu thought to herself that this decision was absolutely right.

  He thought for half a day and finally decided to come down and have a meal. If Fang Hen knew that he was the master, I don't know if he would slap him in the face!

  "The three masters disappeared mysteriously, and their last appearance was right here."

  "These guys from the Abyssal Void are really relentless, I didn't think that after a hundred years, they would appear again!"

  "Speak softly, for walls have ears."

  "Don't worry, I've secretly set up a seal, no one can hear our conversation."

  Jiang Xiaoyu stopped eating and drinking, her eyes slightly turned towards the direction of the sound, and it was actually those two men and one woman she had met before!

  Was a ban set? Then why can I still hear it? Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel puzzled for a moment, and then didn't think about it anymore. His own disciple was in danger in this city, and the other party's Shishu had also disappeared in this city, could there be some connection between the two?

  At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu pretended to be calm and continued eating and drinking, but he kept listening to their conversation, thinking about whether there was any connection between them...

  "Before the masters disappeared, they returned to the sect using a hidden method of communication, but as for the specific location of the underground abyss, we still have to find it ourselves."

  "What's difficult about this? Investigating intelligence is what I'm best at."

  "Haha! It's precisely because you have such skills that Master sent us three down the mountain!"

  "Big brother, look at that person."

  The woman among the three suddenly pointed at Jiang Xiaoyu.
