Although he was doubtful, Jin Hong did not show it at all. He remained like nothing was wrong, only caring about the hidden dangers of the mist that Jianchen had raised.
However, what Jin Hong did not know was that when his bloodline became restless, the droplet of essence blood hidden in Jianchen's body actually warmed up at the same time. The essence blood trembled slightly, sending strands of warmth into Jianchen's heart.
"The droplet of essence blood has actually stirred once again. This is the second time. Through the essence blood, I can actually vaguely sense the power of Jin Hong's bloodline. It looks like Jin Hong's ability to stand out from all the prodigies of the Wolf clan and obtain the recognition of the Skywolf's legacy was not a coincidence. Instead, it was because a sliver of the ancient Skywolf's bloodline flowed through his body. "
"It's just that the power of the bloodline has become extremely thin …"
Jianchen thought. Not only could he sense Jin Hong's bloodline through the power of the ancient Skywolf's bloodline, but he could also sense the restlessness of Jin Hong's bloodline. This allowed him to understand that the Grand Exalt's essence blood that originated from the ancient Skywolf had attracted Jin Hong's attention.
However, Jianchen also acted like nothing was wrong. He acted like he did not sense anything and answered Jin Hong indifferently, "I can only sense a tiny bit of the strangeness of the mist with my extraordinary senses. I don't know anything more specific."
"Yang Yutian, it's not that we don't trust you, but you need to understand that this isn't the Saints' World. We can't absorb the energy of the world to replenish ourselves in the World of the Fallen Beast. All the energy we consume needs to be replenished through divine crystals. Right now, we're in the Two World Mountain, and we'll be fighting the Life-devouring Beasts at any time. The consumption of energy is extremely great, so all of us need to control every bit of energy we use. If we use energy to protect ourselves based on your uncertain instincts, it'll be quite a burden on us and slow down our journey, "the prodigy of the Emperor Lotus Sword sect said. He spoke to Jianchen like an equal.
Clearly, none of the prodigies dared to underestimate Jianchen after the battle earlier. He had won everyone's respect.
"Young master Jin Hong, may I ask if you've discovered anything?" He Qianqian asked Jin Hong.
Jin Hong remained silent. He looked away from Jianchen and stared at the grey mist that blotted out the sky. After quite a while, he said slowly, "I haven't discovered any obvious abnormalities. It's just that I've always felt uneasy. I don't know if this uneasiness comes from the Life-devouring Beasts or something else, but just in case, I suggest we use energy to protect ourselves and keep the mist away." As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Hong set an example. Immediately, a powerful energy filled the air, forming a powerful shield to protect the inside.
With Jin Hong leading the way, the several dozen other prodigies all gritted their teeth and did the same. They began to use energy to protect themselves. Even the Divine King's warriors of death under them were no exception.
In the end, almost two-thirds of the prodigies used energy to create a barrier, but there were still a few people who refused to believe it. They were unwilling to waste energy for no good reason.
"God dammit, we'll have to hold divine crystals at all times now. We'll have to replenish every bit of energy we consume. It won't be as easy as before anymore," someone grumbled inside.
"Yang Yutian, I hope the mist really is as strange as you say it is. If I find out that you're toying with us, I won't be able to do anything to you in the World of the Fallen Beast, but I'll definitely make you suffer once we return to the Saints' World …"
"There are still a few people who haven't used energy to protect themselves. That's fine too. I'll let them see if there's anything strange about the mist here …"
…
Everyone continued on their way. Jianchen also put on an act of casting down a thin layer of protective light as he followed beside He Qianqian.
"The fierce battle before consumed a lot of your energy. This is a pill that can help you recover your Source Energy. Take it quickly. In the Two World Mountain, we have to be at our peak at all times." He Qianqian passed a pill to Jianchen. Her voice was no longer as cold as before. Clearly, her attitude towards Jianchen had changed drastically.
"It's fine. The battle before didn't exhaust me too much. I'll be able to recover to my peak condition very quickly by absorbing the energy from the divine crystals." Jianchen declined He Qianqian's pill. With a flip of his hand, several supreme grade divine crystals appeared. He held a few supreme grade divine crystals in each hand as he acted like he was working hard to recover.
At the back of the group, Chu Jie, Gong Ruize, Kong Feiying, Zhou Zhi, and Zhao Wenbin all stared at Jianchen with resentment. They swore viciously inside, Yang Yutian, once we leave the World of the Fallen Beast, I'll definitely make you die without a proper burial ground.
"If we want to kill Yang Yutian, there's no need to wait until we leave the World of the Fallen Beast. As long as we leave the Two World Mountain and arrive in the Hundred Holy City, we'll have plenty of ways to deal with him," said Chu Jie.
"That's right. With our identities, how difficult is it for us to kill Yang Yutian? If it weren't for Jin Hong, Yang Yutian would have died to the killing formation created by the several hundred Divine King's of our Chu family already. He can fend off the Eight Slaughter Formations created by eight Divine Kings, but can he fend off the Hundred Tribulations Formation created by several hundred Divine Kings?" said Zhou Zhi.
"The Hundred Tribulations Formation created by several hundred Divine King's sacrificial warriors is specially prepared for Primordial realm experts. No matter how powerful this Yang Yutian is, can he be more powerful than Primordial realm experts? Once the Hundred Tribulations Formation is complete, he's dead for sure. Once we leave the Two World Mountain, we'll find an opportunity to kill him … "Chu Jie's eyes were filled with resentment. He would never be able to wash away the humiliation he had suffered today. He hated Jianchen to the bone.
"Hmph, this originally had nothing to do with me. Zhou Zhi, you just had to stand out and play the good guy. Look at you now. Not only have you gotten yourself involved, but we've all been humiliated as well," Gong Rui said resentfully.
He wanted to kill Jianchen, but at the same time, he hated Zhou Zhi for standing up for Chu Jie.
"Zhou Zhi, you've screwed me over this time," Zhao Wenbin and Kong Feiying communicated with each other with sunken faces.
Zhou Zhi's face was filled with bitterness. He was actually speechless. At that moment, he felt some regret. If he had known earlier that Jianchen was so powerful, he would never have stood up for him.
Everyone advanced cautiously through the Two World Mountain. They advanced at a speed that was extremely slow for the Divine King. They did not advance in a straight line. Instead, they would change directions from time to time.
This was because the ground of the Two World Mountain was not completely still. Occasionally, there would be some shaking that was similar to an earthquake, causing slight changes in the terrain and direction. They were completely relying on a secret method to sense the direction of the Hundred Saints City from a long distance away, so that they would not get lost here and would always maintain a straight line.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the battle between Jianchen and Chu Jie. During these three days, they had been attacked by many Life Sucking Beasts. Some were weak, while others were strong. The strongest Life Sucking Beast had already reached the mid Divine King realm.
That battle was the most intense one they had encountered since entering the World of the Fallen Beast. Even Jin Hong, who was said to be the strongest in the group, personally took action. Even so, they suffered quite a lot of losses. Several dozen Divine King realm Deathsworn had died.
