"You have learned from your mistakes. You have indeed improved. But it doesn't matter. With me around, I can't control you!"
Jiang Tian laughed mockingly as he put on the Black Crystal Battle Armor.
The Black Crystal Battle Armor indeed had defensive capabilities and was even stronger. However, someone had tampered with it to hide a "backdoor" talisman array.
The Xu family could control everyone's actions and turn them into marionettes by holding array discs or even chanting incantations.
The Xu family's motive was obvious.
They were waiting for violent demon beasts that they could not control to turn everyone into meat shields to preserve the core strength of the Xu family.
"However, what's up with these people? They seem to be newbies. The Ancient Demon Abyss is filled with violent demon beasts and array formations. There are also all sorts of unknown dangers. Once a newbie acts rashly, they might attract a beast stampede. That would be a disaster for all of us. Moreover, they are only at the Foundation Establishment realm. Do they have the ability to go a thousand miles deep? "
Suddenly, Perfected Lord Hei Ou pointed at Jiang Tian and the others.
Everyone followed his finger and looked at Jiang Tian and the others in the corner of the square with disdain.
As for Madam Xu, she looked at Guard Guo suspiciously.
Young Master Xu Jian reprimanded him directly.
"Guard Guo, is this how you do things? I asked you to gather the elites of the Foundation Establishment realm with rich experience. Not just anyone can come! "
Guard Guo's forehead was covered in sweat. He quickly bowed and reported.
"Madam, Young Master, Senior Hei Ou, I saw that Young Master Jiang and the others were extraordinary and did not seem like ordinary Foundation Establishment realm cultivators. Therefore, I invited them here! Don't worry, I will personally lead them during the expedition. I guarantee that there will be no mistakes! "
Madam Xu looked a little hesitant and a little embarrassed.
Guard Guo was an important person of the Xu family and the leader of the guards. Of course, she had to give Guard Guo face in front of outsiders.
However, it was also a fact that Jiang Tian would be a burden to everyone. If they kept Jiang Tian, the other hired cultivators would be unhappy.
"Hei Ou, are you targeting me?"
Jiang Tian's face sank, and his gaze shot at True Monarch Heiou like cold lightning as he asked slowly.
"You think too much! I'm only doing this for the sake of the success of this operation and for the safety of Fellow Daoist Jiang! "
True Monarch Black Gull spoke righteously and took the moral high ground.
"Everyone likes crystals, and everyone wants to earn them. But even if you have the life to earn it, you still have to be alive to spend it! Don't be weak, but your heart is insatiable. In the end, we can only go for wool and come home shorn. Instead, Qingqing's life is in danger! "
"Besides, on the battlefield, even if you don't care about your life, you can't drag everyone down with you!"
In the end, he revealed his true intentions and directly made a request.
"Each of you can only keep 10% of your remuneration. Leave the rest to me! I will naturally arrange for people to protect you, lest you fall behind and get killed! "
True Monarch Hei Ou was the leader of the cultivators hired by Yong City's Xu Family for this operation. His words carried enormous weight.
"Yes! This is how it should be! "
"Senior Hei Ou is right! All of them were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and they were also novices. We're all elites of the Foundation Establishment Stage or Golden Core Stage. We've been through hundreds of battles and are very experienced. And these experiences were obtained with blood and even risking one's life! Why should they get the same remuneration? "
"Senior Hei Ou's plan is very good. Put him in my team. I'll take care of him. Of course, I'll split half of the remuneration! "
The cultivators revealed greedy looks. Their goal was not to bully Jiang Tian. Their goal was to get a share of Jiang Tian's remuneration.
"Do you really think that you're stronger than me? Can you protect me? "
Jiang Tian's face turned cold. He was about to unleash his Golden Core Dharma Characteristic to show his strength and teach them a lesson.
"True Monarch Hei Ou, everyone, give me some face and stop talking!"
Bodyguard Guo hurriedly stopped Jiang Tian. He stepped forward to smooth things over and said with a smile, "How about this?
True Monarch Hei Ou, I invited Fellow Daoist Jiang, and I've already agreed on the remuneration. I can't go back on my word. I'll give you the crystals you want. How about it?! "
As he spoke, he took out a few crystal bills and handed them to True Monarch Hei Ou.
"Hehe, Bodyguard Guo is really benevolent! I'll accept the crystals. Don't worry, I'll take good care of them! "
True Monarch Hei Ou chuckled and accepted the crystal bills. He did not forget to look at Jiang Tian with disdain. He was high and mighty, as though he was looking at an ant.
"Alright, since the matter is settled and everyone is ready, let's set off for the Ancient Demon Abyss!"
Madam Xu ordered.
The army of hundreds of cultivators set off. Everyone rode on their flood horses, white luans, and giant eagles. They soared into the sky and headed straight for the Ancient Demon Abyss.
…
When Jiang Tian and the others were heading towards the Ancient Demon Abyss.
An old woman in a black robe, holding a compass and holding a withered wooden cane appeared on an ancient teleportation platform with a little boy. It was covered in moss and was almost one with the surrounding mountains.
As she walked, she shook her head and sighed. "The cultivators of the Sea Billow Cosmos are really regressing. Tens of thousands of years ago, there were Soul Formation cultivators. Now, in a few thousand years, there have only been a few Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Just a few of them and they were killed by a Golden Core cultivator from the lower world. What a disgrace to the cultivators of the Ruins of Immortality!
"But this is good. No one will fight with us for the great opportunity that appears once in 600 years! "
"Grandma, what great opportunity?"
The little boy asked vaguely as he ate the candied fruit.
The little boy was only seven or eight years old. He was wearing a pink brocade jacket and a cloak with ferret fur. He looked like a doll with a pair of big black eyes.
But his cultivation level had already reached the Golden Core level and was not much weaker than Aojiao's.
"Hehe, that's old history. Tens of thousands of years ago, a huge dragon and a huge bird that breathed fire fought. The huge bird was defeated by the dragon and died there. Its body was full of treasures. If we find it this time, we might be able to push you to the Nascent Soul level. Hmph, when that time comes, even Cheng Aojun will have to bow to you! "
The old woman shriveled her toothless mouth and chuckled. Her sunken eyes were bursting with divine light. She was extremely greedy.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator was here, they would realize that the old woman's every step caused the space to tremble. The void seemed to help her catapult and she flew a thousand miles away.
She pulled her grandson and swayed as she followed the direction of the compass needle. For some reason, that direction seemed to be the Ancient Demon Abyss.
......
The dragon horses galloped and the white luan soared through the sky. With the help of the spiritual beasts, the group traveled very quickly and conserved most of their True Essence.
A day later, the group finally arrived at Black Rock City.
Black Rock City was majestic. The city walls, made of inferior-grade black crystal, were a few hundred zhang tall and stretched for tens of thousands of miles. It was a natural stronghold and surrounded the Ancient Demon Abyss.
This was originally the stronghold that guarded the Ancient Demon Abyss. Millions of cultivators were stationed here. Many of the fortifications and fortresses were covered with dao patterns and talisman arrays that could withstand the attacks of Jindan Realm demons.
Relying on the Black Stone City to surround the city, there were many towns and cities of various sizes scattered all over the place. There were both cultivators and mortals, and they relied on the Black Stone City's garrison to make a living. It was very prosperous and lively.
"It's too majestic!"
Ao Jiao exclaimed, her eyes filled with envy.
The Yingzhou World was indeed much stronger than the Dragon Gate World. It had produced more than one Heavenly Lord. But the Dragon Gate World did not have one.
This was the huge difference!
And from the looks of it, this was not a coincidence. The Yingzhou World's cultivation resources and cultivation civilization were overall stronger than the Dragon Gate World.
"Back then, in order to build this city, the Cangwu royal family's Qi family spent three hundred years and countless treasures! I even worked here as a supervisor for ten years. "
A trace of pride appeared on Guard Guo's face as he felt honored.
"This time, we will work together with the Cangwu Palace. Therefore, the chances of success will be greatly increased! "
Madam Xu's beautiful eyes shone with excitement and joy.
"How many cultivators did the Cangwu Palace send?"
"Looks like a lot!"
"This way, the operation will be safe!"
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
The Cangwu Palace was the royal palace of this world. Qi Jiuai was overseeing it.
In the Yingzhou World, all the powerful cultivators submitted wholeheartedly. Jindan Realm cultivators were everywhere. Even half-step Nascent Soul cultivators were not few.
Boom! Boom!
Amidst the deafening roar that sounded like a supersonic fighter breaking through the sound barrier, a long rainbow that pierced through heaven and earth shot out from the tall city wall.
The streak of light abruptly paused, and a charming, cute, and intelligent young girl appeared in the air. Shockingly, she was also a Gold Core cultivator.
