They had almost reached their destination. This was the northernmost part of the True Martial Imperial Domain. The temperature had dropped to a terrifying level. Snowstorms filled everyone's field of vision. The accumulated snow on the ground had probably not melted for countless years.
The strange thing was that the sky here was wrapped in a layer of purple light film. The sun during the day and the moon at night also looked completely purple. It gave off a strange feeling.
They had been rushing at a high intensity for the entire journey.
None of them could endure such a high-intensity journey. Of course, Long Chen could. His physique was stronger than everyone else's, so this journey was a piece of cake for him. Therefore, when the fat and skinny girls were about to collapse from exhaustion, they saw that Long Chen was still alive and kicking, and was even cultivating. Their faces were filled with incredulity.
In a place where Long Chen couldn't see, they were discussing softly. Of course, in order to prevent Long Chen's divine sense from spying, they were directly communicating with each other using their divine sense.
Among the nine people, the three strongest women had joined forces. All three of them were quite good-looking. Among them, the delicate and lovely one was called Yao Bitong. The sexy and flirtatious one was called Du Yishuang. The last one looked unruly and wild. Her name was Chen Peiqi.
The strength of these three people was estimated to be around the same level as Zhao Xueji. However, their real fighting strength might be a little weaker than Zhao Xueji. After all, Zhao Xueji's ice-sealed bloodline was quite strong.
At this time, Yao Bitong looked at Long Chen's back in the distance with some disgust. She said, "This guy has been rushing for so many days, but he's still not tired. He's really a monster in human form."
The sexy and seductive Du Yishuang gently tucked her long hair behind her ears. Her face was painted with heavy makeup and a seductive fragrance was exuding from her body. She blinked her eyes at Long Chen and said, "You're not pretending, right? You're probably very tired. All men are like this. They like to show their best side in front of women. When the two of you grow up, you'll probably understand.
Chen Peiqi snorted and said, "You're just a fledgling, and you're making it sound like you know a lot. As for this Long Chen, I've heard that his body is very strong. I'm guessing that he has cultivated a Grade Six body-refining battle technique. He's a match for Palace Master Chen Yuantong, but … hehe, a strong body doesn't necessarily mean that he's powerful in battle."
Du Yishuang looked at Chen Peiqi and said, "That's not necessarily true. His body is so strong that it must be very hard. His skills in bed must be very good."
"Your heart is rippling." Chen Peiqi looked at Du Yishuang with contempt.
Du Yishuang smiled.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Does he have the qualifications to make my heart ripple? The one who makes my heart ripple is Wu Yang. His aura is like the scorching sun. It's constantly burning my body." Du Yishuang said. Then, Jiang Qing gathered everyone and said, "Go in this direction. In about a day, we will arrive at the Moon Demon Cave.
That place is a boundless mountain range. The Moon Demon Cave is an underground world. This is a very large underground world. There are hundreds of thousands of underground passageways. Some of them might be huge caves, while others might be small passageways that only one person can pass through. The people of the Moon Demon Cave are very familiar with the environment here, but you don't know anything about it. The difficulty of this mission is very high. Therefore, you have to make your own plans. I have no right to interfere. From now on, I will hide in the shadows. I will only appear when you encounter an additional danger that you cannot resist. Otherwise, even if you die, I will not save you even if you die. "
After saying this, Jiang Qing's expression turned solemn. He coldly looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has to pay the price for their past. You were once a hardworking person, you might not have to die. The Refinement Battle is the most critical challenge in your life. The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. If your skills are inferior to others, your death will not be regretted. Even if you die, this world will not change. Even your master will accept a disciple that surpasses you in the future and forget all of you. The True Martial Emperor Palace has never lacked geniuses. No one would feel heartache if a few of them died."
This should be the last time Jiang Qing spoke.
"I remember there's a small city up ahead. You can rest there and come up with a battle plan. You'll have to rely on yourselves to defeat the powerhouses of the Moon Devil's Cave with your current strength. Goodbye, everyone. I hope you all can survive."
Jiang Qing smiled and left in a relaxed manner. He didn't say anything else to Long Chen. In fact, Long Chen was much more mature than them. Long Chen understood everything.
Jiang Qing's figure soon disappeared. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Finally, everyone's attention shifted to the three women.
"Since Hall Master Jiang said there is a small city ahead, let's rest there first. At the same time, we can also inquire more about the Moon Demon Cave." Yao Bitong said.
Du Yishuang wasn't willing to let the opportunity to speak be snatched away. In order to solidify her position, she quickly said, "Since that's the case, let's listen to Hall Master Jiang and head to that small city."
"Everyone, remember, after arriving there, we must keep a low profile. We must not attract the attention of the Moon Demon Cave. Moreover, we must enter the city separately. We must conceal our appearance and strength as much as possible." Chen Peiqi said.
They had already thought it through very thoroughly. Everyone had nothing to say, so they followed them. This feeling of being in control was very refreshing. So, the three women who were previously tired were now full of energy. They even momentarily forgot themselves. Soon, they discovered that Long Chen was also following behind them. Since this was the case, should they play with him?
After thinking about it, they decided to forget about it. However, the thing that the three women wanted the most right now was to kick Long Chen out of their organization. The nine of them were solid, and there was only one stranger who was hindering them.
The small city wasn't far from where they were. The three women's divine senses were more than ten miles away. Their eyes first approached the city in the snow, then quickly approached it. When they were close enough, they were stunned. They looked at each other and said, "Everyone, stop."
The others stopped and stared at the three women with their eyes wide open.
"In such a big city, there is not a single person. What's going on?"
"Yes, there is not a single person. Could there be a problem?"
After the three women encountered a problem, they were a little flustered. They knew how to compete with each other, but this was the first time that they had to make a decision. After thinking for a long time, Chen Peiqi said, "No matter what the problem is, it is better that there is no one. We have been rushing for so many days, so we need to rest. Let's enter the city first."
"That's right. I haven't had a good bath for many days." Du Yishuang said gloomily.
"Then let's go in." Yao Bitong didn't forget to interject to prove that she also had a position in the decision-making.
Under the leadership of the three women, everyone could only enter the city.
Long Chen walked at the very back. In his eyes, these three women were like flowers in a greenhouse who had never seen the world. They could fight tit for tat, but when it came to dealing with the vicious people of the Moon Devil Cave, they were a bit lacking. However, Long Chen couldn't be bothered with them.
"In this small city, there are many places that are still clean. The houses seem to have been occupied not long ago, but now they are empty. Why is there no one here?"
While following the large group, Long Chen carefully observed and studied. He discovered some small details. Basically, every household had many traces of fighting, and the city had also suffered a certain degree of damage.
"In other words, all the people here were probably kidnapped."
Thinking about the information about the Moon Demon Cave, Long Chen roughly understood that this place had been ravaged by the Moon Demon Cave.
"This group of vicious scum won't be easy to deal with. If it was Ye Zheng's group, it would be fine. But these guys, it's obvious that they've met such murderous opponents since they were young. So the situation isn't optimistic."
Long Chen also wanted to complete the task perfectly. However, his current teammates were pigs. He didn't know what would happen if the wolves came. Not to mention, these pigs might personally run into the wolves' den.
While Long Chen was thinking, the sexy Du Yishuang looked at him and shouted, "Long Chen, come here."
"What's the matter?" Long Chen walked over.
"We decided to use the hall of this house as a conference room to discuss specific matters. You clean up this place." Du Yishuang said arrogantly.
"Are you crazy? Don't you know how to do it yourself?" Long Chen looked at her and turned away.
"You!"
Du Yishuang was furious. This was the first time she had seen someone reject a goddess-like figure like her. Du Yishuang was already one of the best among the younger generation since she was able to cultivate to her current level at such a young age. She was no longer just a vase. She had the right to be proud.
"Forget it. Don't bother the disciple of Hall Master Jiang Qing. We'll do it ourselves. However, if we don't help them now, don't expect us to help them in the future." Chen Peiqi said coldly.
A group of people walked into the hall and cleaned up the place. Then, Long Chen turned to the city and continued to see if he could find any clues.
"There is no one in the city. If a cultivator with a powerful Divine Sense passes by, he will definitely discover us. This is not a good thing. These idiots really came in and used this place as their base of operations …"
Long Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
