A hundred thousand young men and women, each with their own lives and deaths. Long Chen didn't have the time to care about that. Right now, he couldn't even protect Li Xuanji's life.
After Long Chen went in, the others looked at each other in dismay. One of the girls said angrily, "This person is so rude. Brother Yu invited him out of goodwill, but he actually ignored him. How dare he!"
"Yes, Brother Yu did it for his own good. He asked him to join us, but he didn't appreciate it. Not only did he not appreciate it, but he's also so rude."
"This kind of person deserves to go crazy in there and kill himself."
While they were cursing each other, Long Chen had already entered the so-called turbulence.
There were no trees in this area, and the ground was dry. The wind was very violent, and even Long Chen had to spend a lot of effort to stand firmly on the ground.
The most troublesome thing was that this gale could change direction at any time. Long Chen had to follow the force of the gale and use different forces to resist it. So even if it was him, walking in this turbulence would cause him to sway left and right.
In particular, although it was empty inside, the fog was even thicker. Under the wind, Long Chen could only see things within fifty meters of him. The others were probably even worse off. They could only see about ten meters around them.
Fortunately, with his Soul Eyes, Long Chen could grasp the distance between him and everyone.
In this place, Long Chen didn't dare to move too fast. This Nine Netherworld Demon Mountain was formed naturally, and there were many unpredictable dangers.
Within the range of his Soul Eye, the dozen or so people behind him had also entered the turbulence. Just as Long Chen had expected, the moment they entered, they immediately swayed left and right. A few of them were almost unable to adapt to the changes and were directly swept away. Fortunately, they were able to stabilize themselves by holding onto each other.
Long Chen didn't care about them. They were just strangers who met by chance, so he quickly moved forward. After walking about a hundred meters, the surrounding wind and fog became denser. Long Chen started to see the existence of others with his Soul Eyes. Just as he was wondering why one of the people within the range of his Soul Eyes was behaving strangely, suddenly, there was a trace of a string sound in the whistling wind.
This was probably the sound of a zither. It was very soft and almost inaudible, but it was fresh and natural. Long Chen only heard a small part of it, but he immediately felt refreshed.
"How can there be zither music in this turbulence?"
Long Chen was very curious. This zither music was mixed with the sound of the wind. Could it be the sound of the wind?
"Zither music …" Long Chen found it strange that he could actually hear the zither music in this place. Suddenly, he thought of what had happened just now.
According to them, that youth who was surrounded and killed had escaped from this turbulence. His crazed state must have something to do with what happened in the turbulence. Could it be related to this zither music …
Furthermore, within the range of Long Chen's Soul Eyes, there seemed to be someone in a crazed state, crazily wandering in this turbulence.
Long Chen hurriedly covered his ears. Indeed, this zither music had nothing to do with his ears. It was completely used on his God Martial Soul. No wonder when he suddenly heard this zither music, Long Chen suddenly felt refreshed.
"Generally speaking, when such beautiful and invigorating zither music is heard, most people will subconsciously be confused by it and enter a state of confusion."
Long Chen guessed that this should be a natural phenomenon in the Nine Netherworld Demon Mountain. At the same time, to these youths, this zither music was a test of the firmness of a martial artist's mind.
There was nothing else in the heart.
The further they went, the more zither music mixed with the sound of the wind. Fortunately, Long Chen was on guard, so the zither music didn't affect him too much for the time being. However, Long Chen had seen many illusions caused by the zither music, so he was very resistant to it.
The zither music had reached the God Martial Soul, but Long Chen's God Martial Soul was even higher than the mysterious dragon jade. It would be strange if these natural zither music could confuse him.
In terms of mind, Long Chen was many times more stable than most people.
After all, among the martial artists under a hundred years old, Long Chen had probably experienced the most trials. His seven years were much more exciting than anyone else's.
These geniuses of the Nine Netherworld Demon Domain probably didn't even know that there was such a low-level place like the Myriad Kingdoms Domain in this world.
As they continued forward, the zither music became louder and louder until it lingered in their ears. Long Chen's mind was firm, at least for now, he wasn't affected. However, because of the zither music, he didn't dare to move too fast. Otherwise, his mind might be affected.
In fact, any expert who came here would also slow down. A few miles away from where Long Chen was, Shangguan Ya and the mysterious Qin Shi were advancing at the same speed as Long Chen. Qin Shi gradually left Shangguan Ya behind, which made Shangguan Ya's expression extremely ugly.
"Bitch, she actually left me behind here." Shangguan Ya was extremely sullen, but after all, the other party was stronger than her.
"That's right, I heard that in this illusory turbulence, there are many Thunderbolt Divine Crystals that fall from the sky. If the Thunderbolt Divine Crystals are integrated into the body, it will have a huge effect on body tempering. The more Thunderbolt Divine Crystals you integrate, the stronger your body will be. In the end, it will even be equivalent to an Eighth Grade Body Tempering Divine Skill. I brought this treasure with me, so I must collect as many Thunderbolt Divine Crystals as possible. With Qin Shi gone, it will be easier for me to collect them."
Because Shangguan Ya was a few miles away from Long Chen, he naturally didn't know what was happening on Shangguan Ya's side. At this moment, Long Chen was picking up a purple crystal the size of a fingernail from the ground. This purple crystal had no regular shape and was very small, but it contained a terrifying amount of energy.
Streaks of purple lightning flowed within the crystal.
"This purple crystal should be the crystallization of the Thunderbolt Shackles in the sky. When it condenses to a sufficient size, it will fall. Just now, that Yu Hongdao also obtained this thing. It seems that if this thing is integrated into the body, it will have some effect on body tempering."
A long time ago, Long Chen had fused with the Thunder Flame Crystal and formed the Thunder Flame Battle Physique. However, that Thunder Flame Crystal and this purple crystal were worlds apart. The difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Long Chen easily integrated the tiny crystal into his body. With his current body that was equivalent to an Eighth Grade Body Tempering Divine Skill, this Thunderflame Crystal no longer had much effect.
Long Chen didn't pay too much attention to this thing.
But at this moment, he suddenly sensed that the dozen or so little fellows behind him were very excited. Long Chen wasn't far from them. At this moment, listening carefully, other than the sound of the zither, there were also their cheers in the wind.
"It seems that I've found a place with many Thunderflame Divine Crystals."
Long Chen could only smile bitterly. He had also passed by that place just now, but his attention had been on the zither and he hadn't paid attention to his feet, allowing those little fellows to take advantage of it.
The dozen or so of them all began to move. Yu Hongdao was a very capable commander, and he had most likely already discussed the rules for the distribution of the Divine Lightning Crystals. Faced with the large number of Divine Lightning Crystals, they didn't fight over them. Instead, they put them into their storage rings.
Then, they continued to advance in high spirits.
Long Chen discovered that there were quite a few tiny Thunderflame Divine Crystals, but Long Chen wasn't interested in them, so he didn't take them. Wherever he passed, the dozen or so cultivators seemed to have picked up magic treasures. They were all in high spirits and collected quite a few Thunderflame Divine Crystals along the way. However, because of the influence of the zither, some of them actually went crazy.
Yu Hongdao made a prompt decision. With the combined strength of everyone, they killed these people and then took their Storage Rings, agreeing to redistribute the crystals.
The deeper they went, the more Thunderflame Divine Crystals they obtained. Because there were so many of them, they basically won every battle. However, because more and more people were bewitched by the zither, more and more of them were killed by their own people. Soon, there were only six people left.
A large number of Thunderflame Divine Crystals were distributed among six people, which was already very good.
Since there weren't many of them, they didn't dare to be as ostentatious as before. Instead, they didn't move too much and advanced slowly, resisting the temptation of the zither that they were gradually unable to resist.
Long Chen estimated that he would be able to walk out of this turbulent area.
At this moment, about a hundred meters behind him, Yu Hongdao seemed to have gone crazy. His eyes were bloodshot as he suddenly took out a saber and slashed at his companions beside him. In a short period of time, he actually killed two people.
"Big Brother Yu has gone crazy."
"Heavens."
"Let's kill him."
"No, we can't beat him. Let's run first."
The remaining three people hurriedly prepared to run, but Yu Hongdao seemed to treat them as enemies and pursued them desperately.
"He's actually pretending to be crazy in order to obtain all the Thunderflame Divine Crystals."
Long Chen laughed. He had been paying attention to Yu Hongdao from the very beginning. This guy was quite scheming. At the beginning, he had gathered everyone to form a large force and obtained a lot of Thunderflame Divine Crystals in this turbulent area. Now that the time had come, he had pretended to be crazy and slaughtered his companions.
His goal was obviously to obtain all the Thunderflame Divine Crystals.
Although Long Chen hadn't been with them, he couldn't bear to watch any longer. He despised people who cheated others' feelings from the bottom of his heart. When Yu Hongdao began his massacre, Long Chen decisively turned back.
At this moment, Yu Hongdao was madly chasing after the remaining three people.
A figure gradually appeared from the thick fog behind him.
Yu Hongdao abruptly turned around when he sensed a stranger's aura. The instant he saw Long Chen, a look of astonishment flashed across his blood-red eyes. From this, it could be seen that his crazed state was completely an act.
He glanced at Long Chen and no longer hesitated. He continued to chase after the remaining three people. Given his speed, he would be able to kill them very quickly. When that happened, all the Thunderflame Divine Crystals would be his.
