Humm Humm.
The mysterious black paper within Mu Chen's body started to vibrate increasingly rapidly, while his expression grew increasingly solemn. After all these years, this was the first time he had seen such a reaction from the mysterious black paper. Clearly, this should be related to the object within the tornado in the distance.
Xia Youran had also sensed the radiance from before. Turning her beautiful eyes over, she saw the ball of light within the tornado, causing astonishment to surface on her lovable face. After pondering for a moment, she said, "It should be some kind of Heavenly Soul Treasure. I never imagined that it would actually be within the tornado."
She felt somewhat regretful. From the reaction from before, the Heavenly Soul Treasure in front of them wasn't simple at all. However, it was a pity that it was hidden within the tornado. Approaching it at this moment was clearly an extremely dangerous thing to do. After all, once one was blown into the sky by the tornado, one would be sucked into the spatial torrent. At that time, one would truly be unable to escape from calamity.
Mu Chen tightly stared at the tornado, before fiercely standing up.
Xia Youran jumped in fright. Seeing his expression, she hastily said, "Mu Chen, don't be rash. It's too dangerous there, and a Heavenly Soul Treasure like this isn't easy to obtain."
Mu Chen gave a bitter laugh. He naturally understood the dangers of approaching that place. However, he held the mysterious black paper within his body in extremely high regard. Being able to suppress even the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was more than sufficient to show how extraordinary it was. Although Mu Chen was still unable to unravel its origins, he had a feeling that this mysterious black paper was extremely powerful.
For the sake of unraveling the secrets of this mysterious black paper, there were some dangers that Mu Chen needed to take.
Therefore, in response to Xia Youran's persuasion, he could only faintly shake his head and say, "Senior sister Xia, this Heavenly Soul Treasure is rather important to me. I need to try and see if I can obtain it."
Seeing that Mu Chen had already made up his mind, Xia Youran could not help but stomp her jade-like feet. This fellow, he's too reckless.
"Hehe, Senior Sister Xia, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. If I really can't get what I want, I'll come back. Just wait for me here." Mu Chen smiled and prepared to leave.
Gritting her teeth, Xia Youran raised her jade-like arm to block him, "I'm afraid of you. Let's go together. At least we can take care of each other. If something happens to you here, how am I supposed to explain it to sister Ling Xi?"
Mu Chen was a little touched, but he didn't refuse again. He just said softly, "Thank you, Senior Xia.
Waving her jade-like hand in a rather valiant manner, Xia Youran clenched her jade-like hand. In the next instant, a green pearl the size of a longan appeared before her. The surface of the green pearl was covered with mysterious runes, while powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations faintly radiated from it. Mu Chen was able to sense that, upon the appearance of the green pearl, the surrounding wind had seemingly turned silent.
Mu Chen shot a curious look at the green pearl. Clearly, this item should be an extraordinary Spiritual Artifact.
"This is the Imperial Wind Spirit Pearl, a High-Grade Spiritual Artifact. Although its offensive capabilities aren't particularly strong, it has an extremely strong defensive effect against any kind of spatial astral winds. With it on us, we'll be able to get close to the spatial astral winds," said Xia Youran with a grin as she held the cyan-coloured pearl in her hand.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen was instantly pleasantly surprised, and could not help praising her in his heart. Truly worthy of being the Big Miss of the Nine Summers Chamber of Commerce. Her background is truly different, and god knows how many times stronger than mine. She's even able to take out such a unique High Rank Spiritual Artifact.
After cultivating for so many years, the number of Spiritual Artifacts Mu Chen had on him was exceedingly few. He did not even have a single High Rank Spiritual Artifact. Although the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was formidable, it couldn't be used so easily. Therefore, compared to Xia Youran, he was truly extraordinarily shabby.
With a wave of her jade-like hand, the glowing Spiritual Energy screen enveloping the small mountain valley dissipated.
Bang!
As the glowing Spiritual Energy screen dissipated, the spatial gales that hid the skies and covered the earth howled over. However, just as the gales entered the one metre radius around Mu Chen and Xia Youran, they abruptly weakened. The powerful lethality of the gales decreased, to the point where they were unable to break through the Spiritual Energy defences that enveloped the bodies of Mu Chen and Xia Youran.
It felt as though there was an invisible barrier protecting their bodies, an extremely strange feeling.
"Let's go."
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Xia Youran's face as she shot out. At this moment, they clearly didn't dare to fly into the air. Even if they possessed a treasure like the Wind Resistance Spiritual Pearl, they still had to be careful in everything they did.
Mu Chen closely followed behind Xia Youran by a step. As the two of them rapidly shot through the berserk spatial gales, they appeared just like two tiny glowing figures. Along the way, there were some gazes that had discovered the two of them shooting through the gales, causing them to be somewhat absent-minded. At this moment, everyone should be hiding from the spatial gales. However, these two fellows actually dared to break through the gales in such an ostentatious manner. What audacity!
However, Mu Chen and Xia Youran did not pay any attention to those gazes coming from the darkness. Increasing their speed, they rapidly shot towards the region where the gales were wreaking havoc.
Relying on the protection of the Wind Resistance Spiritual Pearl, the two of them were able to easily pass through the berserk spatial gales, before shooting up a high slope. Raising their heads, they were able to see the devastating gales in the distance. The gales were jet-black in colour, with spatial wind blades hiding the skies and covering the earth as they swept out, causing the earth to be riddled with holes.
Within the depths of the gales, the clump of light grew increasingly bright.
Looking at the clump of light with a feverish gaze, Mu Chen could feel the trembling of the mysterious black paper within his body growing increasingly rapid as he approached it.
Taking a step forward, he could not help but want to take action.
"Wait."
Grabbing onto his arm, Xia Youran's beautiful eyes turned towards a dark location not far away from them. Faintly discernible!
Numerous figures could be seen there. At this moment, all of them were staring at the gales. Clearly, they had discovered the Spiritual Treasure hidden within the gales.
"Looks like there's quite a few people eyeing this thing."
Faintly knitting her eyebrows together, Xia Youran thought to herself. Being able to come here to snatch treasures amidst the rampaging spatial gales clearly showed that they weren't ordinary figures. From the looks of it, it wouldn't be easy for them to obtain this thing today.
Nevertheless, not much surprise was present within Mu Chen's eyes. The Spiritual Treasure within the gales shouldn't be ordinary. Therefore, being able to attract some people over to snatch it was within his expectations. Nevertheless, he couldn't rush things at the moment.
"Since they want to snatch the treasure, let them go ahead and try. We'll take a look first," said Mu Chen in a soft voice.
Hearing his words, Xia Youran breathed a sigh of relief. She was somewhat afraid that Mu Chen wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of the Spiritual Treasure and would recklessly take action. At that time, not only would he have to endure the attacks from the spatial gales, he might even attract quite a few open knives and hidden arrows. At such a time, he absolutely couldn't lose his cool.
The arrival of Mu Chen and Xia Youran had clearly attracted the attention of some people. Immediately, quite a few people started to become slightly impatient. It seemed that the number of people attracted by the Spiritual Treasure was increasing. If they continued to wait, their chances of obtaining it might become increasingly lower.
Whoosh!
In the darkness, the eyes of some people sparkled, before fiercely clenching their teeth. All of a sudden, their figures shot out, while boundless Spiritual Energy erupted from them. In an instant, even the spatial gales were blown away. As for the dozen figures, they rushed straight towards the gales in an attempt to rush in and snatch the Spiritual Treasure.
Whoosh!
Just as they approached the gales, gales that blotted the skies howled, while countless black spatial wind blades hid the skies and covered the earth as they shot out. The number was rather frightening.
Ah!
Ah!
As the black spatial wind blades howled past, miserable shrieks instantly rang out. The boundless Spiritual Energy that permeated around the bodies of those people was unexpectedly ripped apart by the spatial wind blades. In the next instant, their bodies were sliced apart, causing blood to spurt out in the skies.
Only a few fellows that possessed Spiritual Artifacts that blocked the spatial wind blades instantly shot back in a miserable fashion. However, after paying a rather miserable price, they were able to land on the ground in horror and despair. Their bloodied appearances appeared exceedingly malevolent.
Within the darkness, quite a few people sucked in a breath of cold air. Indeed, the spatial gales were frightening. Every single one of the people that had taken action possessed the strength of a Heavenly Completion Stage, with one of them even reaching Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. However, they were still sent flying back in a miserable fashion. However, compared to those unlucky fellows that had been ripped to shreds, he was already considered extremely fortunate.
After the first wave of people had paid a miserable price, those people that had their eyes turned red due to the stimulation of the Spiritual Treasure had gradually calmed down. Cold sweat covered their heads, and none of them dared to take action rashly.
The spatial gales continued to wreak havoc crazily, with the gales appearing just like an incomparably gigantic black dragon. As it spun about, astonishing power radiated from it.
"When do we take action?" asked Xia Youran as she looked towards Mu Chen.
"I suggest that we wait for the gales to weaken before taking action."
A shadow of pondering flashed across Mu Chen's eyes, before shaking his head and replying, "Senior Sister Xia, the other people have the same thoughts as you. Therefore, once the gales weaken, I'm afraid that everyone will take action. Under such chaos, wanting to obtain the Spiritual Treasure might be even more difficult than it is now."
"What about you?" asked Xia Youran with a slight frown.
"Senior Sister Xia, can I borrow your Wind Resistance Spiritual Pearl for the time being?"
"You want to go alone?"
Asked Xia Youran in shock, while her lovable face slightly contorted. The spatial gales were something that even Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase experts would be in a somewhat difficult situation to deal with. With Mu Chen's strength at Heavenly Completion Stage Early Phase, things might not bode well for him if he were to enter the gales.
With a smile, Mu Chen replied, "Senior Sister Xia, there's still some people eyeing this place covetously. I can feel some rather formidable fluctuations coming from them. From the looks of it, there's someone powerful here. Therefore, I hope that you can help me obstruct them. As for the matter of seizing the treasure, just leave it to me."
Xia Youran's eyebrows tightly knitted together, wanting to dissuade him from doing so. However, in the end, due to the smile on the face of the youth before her, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Giving a helpless sigh, she gently nodded her head.
As Mu Chen and Xia Youran were conversing in a soft voice, two figures appeared within the crevice of a mountain not far away from them. Looking at them, they were the Young Masters of the Umbra Chamber of Commerce and the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce, Liu Ying and Dong Yuan.
"Haha. Enemies really do cross each other's path."
Looking at the man and woman, Dong Yuan smiled and said, "Looks like they've also taken a fancy to this Spiritual Treasure. What do you say?"
Liu Ying pressed his palm against the hard and firm mountain wall, his fingers appearing just like the edge of a blade, causing deep scars to appear on the mountain wall. Clapping his hands indifferently, a cold and sinister glint flashed within his eyes as he stared at Mu Chen's figure.
"Don't worry. That brat doesn't have the fortune to enjoy such a Spiritual Treasure."
(It's my birthday!)
Seeing so many red comments on my book, I felt extremely touched in my heart. This should be my sixth year in Qidian, right? Over the years, the youth from back then should have already stepped into society. He no longer has that carefree and carefree attitude he once had, and has started to rush about for a better life. I hope that in the future, all of us will have a better and better life.
Thank you, everyone.
