Chapter 1407 |
Hearing the words of the person in front of him, Su Jingzhen was stunned.
"Is it really such a coincidence?"
As a core disciple, Yan Xiao, of course, knew about the dangers of the Abyss from his memories.
Therefore, even with Boundless Snow's status and strength, it was understandable that she might lack confidence and seek some assistants to accompany her.
But he had just arrived at the Boundless Demon Sect today and had just planned to explore the location in the Abyss where Ling Hua had obtained the World Spirit.
And now, coincidentally, his other target, Boundless Snow, was also heading there to stir up trouble.
So many coincidences piling up made Su Jingzhen uneasy. He sharpened his vigilance, scanning the skies briefly.
But looking at the black-robed young man in front of him, he still smiled and said, "Oh, it's you, Junior Brother Tuoba. So, you also want to try your luck?
If we really get the chance to team up with Junior Sister Boundless Snow to explore the Abyss, we might actually reach places we never dared to imagine before."
Of course, for everyone, reaching any specific place in the Abyss isn’t the important part.
What’s important is the chance to get close to Junior Sister Boundless Snow."
As he said this, there was a gleam of enthusiasm and longing in his eyes.
Boundless Snow was basically the dream of every male disciple in the Boundless Demon Sect.
No one dared to hope for more than just being near her.
For most, simply having the chance to work alongside her was already satisfying.
Su Jingzhen nodded. "That sounds great. Let’s go together.
Let’s hope we can win Junior Sister Boundless Snow’s favor."
As he spoke, a hint of fervent excitement appeared at the corner of Su Jingzhen’s mouth.
The two of them then headed toward the Abyss together.
Along the way, they encountered numerous streaks of light.
The auras emanating from these streaks were all at the Demon General Realm level!
Even just the ones they encountered on the road numbered in the dozens.
Su Jingzhen knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
In the northern regions of the Moluo Realm, a single Demon General Realm cultivator could dominate an entire area.
But in the Boundless Demon Sect, dozens of them could be seen casually.
"Senior Brother Yan Xiao, it seems we have quite a few competitors this time.
Junior Sister Boundless Snow only needs eighteen assistants.
But from what we’ve seen so far, there are already over fifty."
The man with the compound surname Tuoba, named Tuoba Hong, said this to Su Jingzhen with a smile.
However, his tone was light, as if buoyed by eagerness more than doubt.
Su Jingzhen’s expression grew slightly more serious.
But he still smiled calmly and said, "It’s fine. Even if we don’t get to be Junior Sister Boundless Snow’s assistants, we can still follow behind them and explore the Abyss.
This trip won’t be a waste."
Hearing this, Tuoba Hong nodded. "You’re right."
As they chatted, the two of them soon arrived at the location of the Abyss.
Although Su Jingzhen had already known about its grandeur from Yan Xiao’s memories, he was still quite shocked when he saw it in person.
It was a massive canyon that stretched across the mountain range of the Boundless Demon Sect.
It was dozens of miles wide.
Its length was immeasurable.
The canyon was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a giant mouth of the earth.
This canyon was the legendary Abyss!
At this moment, the banks of the canyon were already crowded with many core disciples of the Boundless Demon Sect.
The weakest among them had reached the peak of the Demon Marquis Realm.
Most were at the Demon Sage Realm!
And there were already three to four hundred Demon General Realm experts gathered here!
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a bit awed.
This was only a portion of those who wanted to become Boundless Snow’s assistants.
Clearly, this wasn’t even the full gathering of the Boundless Demon Sect’s Demon General Realm experts.
From this, it seemed that the Boundless Demon Sect alone had over a thousand Demon General Realm experts.
As soon as he arrived, Su Jingzhen’s gaze began searching around.
But he didn’t see the so-called Boundless Snow.
With Yan Xiao’s memories, he would have been able to recognize her if she were present.
"Senior Brother Yan Xiao, let’s wait for a bit.
Junior Sister Boundless Snow probably hasn’t arrived yet."
Su Jingzhen nodded, but he felt a bit nervous.
When Boundless Snow arrived, he didn’t know if she would bring Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai with her.
If they were to meet so suddenly, he wasn’t sure if he should immediately reveal himself.
As time passed, more and more people gathered on both sides of the Abyss.
At the same time, more and more people were entering and exiting the Abyss.
But not everyone who came here was here for Boundless Snow.
On normal days, this was one of the most popular trial grounds in the Boundless Demon Sect.
After a short wait, a loud cry suddenly rang out from the distant void.
A phoenix covered in black flames flew over.
On the back of the phoenix stood more than a dozen figures, one of whom was dressed in a snow-white gown.
Her demeanor was noble and cold.
But her face was covered with a white veil.
Her aura was quite powerful.
Even without deliberately releasing her pressure, Su Jingzhen and the others felt a sense of awe.
Through the thin veil, Su Jingzhen could vaguely make out her face.
It was indeed about seventy percent similar to Xuening’s!
Su Jingzhen continued to look around the phoenix.
But he didn’t see Luo Yuebai or Feng Qingya.
For some reason, he felt a bit relieved.
Just Boundless Snow, or rather Xuening, was enough to make him feel a mix of emotions.
"So it’s completely confirmed now. Xuening is Boundless Snow!"
Su Jingzhen sighed in his heart.
At this moment, the black-flamed phoenix suddenly dissipated.
It turned into a stream of energy and merged into Boundless Snow’s left shoulder.
It seemed to form a black tattoo.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen was shocked once more.
Just the pressure emanating from the black-flamed phoenix earlier had been incredibly strong.
It seemed to have reached the level of a Demon General Realm.
If even her summoned phoenix held such strength, what level had Boundless Snow’s true cultivation reached?
Su Jingzhen didn’t dare to imagine.
Could she have already reached the half-step Demon King level, or even a full-fledged Demon King?
Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen felt a chill run down his spine.
As he was pondering this, the Demon General Realm experts around him, including Tuoba Hong, were already getting excited.
Su Jingzhen could even hear Tuoba Hong’s heavy breathing.
At this moment, Boundless Snow and her group took a step forward and appeared directly above the Abyss.
But in the next instant, Su Jingzhen was stunned.
Because Boundless Snow’s gaze was now directed straight at him.
Su Jingzhen clearly felt that when Boundless Snow looked at him, her aura was cold.
"Does she... not like me?"
Su Jingzhen was momentarily puzzled.
But in the next moment, he understood.
Yan Xiao’s clone in Qingzhou was Feng Mingyan.
And Feng Mingyan, Yan Xiao’s meddling clone, was someone Dantai Xuening deeply despised.
Even Boundless Snow must have been influenced by that part of Xuening’s personality.
Naturally, she wouldn’t have any fondness for Yan Xiao.
In fact, Su Jingzhen had no doubt that if Boundless Snow got the chance, she wouldn’t hesitate to kill Yan Xiao!
"I forgot about the grudge between Yan Xiao and Xuening.
Now, with this identity, it might be even harder to get close to Boundless Snow."
Su Jingzhen felt a bit helpless.
