As a matter of fact, Tian Muyun also felt a trace of pity for Jiang Chen. No matter what, Jiang Chen was a peerless genius. If he were to stay, it would definitely be beneficial to the entire Tianyun Pavilion.
However, Tian Muyun didn't need such a genius to establish the future of Tianyun Pavilion. The fate of Tianyun Pavilion was destined to be controlled by him alone. He alone carried the hope of Tianyun Pavilion. Moreover, every time he saw Jiang Chen, he would have a bad feeling in his heart. It was a strange feeling, but it was real.
Of course, from Tian Muyun's point of view, he didn't intend to get rid of Jiang Chen. The reason he proposed to send Jiang Chen into the Evil Abyss as a punishment was to scare Jiang Chen and give himself a sense of superiority. However, Jiang Chen actually agreed to it. This was something that Tian Muyun didn't expect.
Inside the ancient tomb, there was a chilly wind everywhere. It was like a tomb, full of dampness. The smell of decay was mixed with corpse qi, giving people an extremely bad feeling.
"Everyone, be careful. The corpse qi floating around here can corrode us."
Someone said.
To Jiang Chen, the corrosive nature of the corpse qi didn't affect him at all. His blood and qi were too vigorous, and the dragon transformation skill was the nemesis of the corpse qi. Even if the corpse qi entered Jiang Chen's body, it would be immediately eliminated. This was Jiang Chen's advantage.
There were many passageways in front of them. There were forks everywhere along the black passageways. That was the corpse qi. No one knew how long this ancient tomb had existed. The deeper they went in, the denser the corpse qi would be.
Currently, there were people walking slowly on these passages. Everyone was heading towards the depths of the ancient tomb. Some people chose the path they wanted to take and immediately walked towards it. After all, the ancient tomb would only open for seven days. Whether it was the geniuses of the four major powers or the rogue cultivators, none of them wanted to waste time.
At this moment, a figure approached Jiang Chen and soon arrived beside Jiang Chen. It was none other than Fu Hui. He had left the Tianyun Pavilion camp the moment he entered and waited for Jiang Chen. Fu Hui was a smart man and knew that following Jiang Chen was the safest choice.
"Brother Jiang, there are so many passages here. Which one do you think we should take?"
Fu Hui asked.
"All the passages here lead to the same place, the center of the ancient tomb. If I'm not wrong, each of these passages is filled with danger, so it doesn't matter which one we take," said Han Shuo.
Jiang Chen said. He had already circulated the Great Soul Derivation Technique and found that all the passageways were filled with the same Qi. If he wasn't mistaken, all the passageways would lead to the same place – the centre of the ancient tomb.
Moreover, the corpse qi on the roads was very dense, indicating that there should be many dead things here. In places where the death qi and corpse qi were everywhere, some powerful creatures would be born. These creatures were usually extremely terrifying. Some of them could even survive by relying on the environment here and couldn't be killed. This wasn't the first time Jiang Chen had encountered such a situation.
Since the paths were the same, it was very easy to choose. Or it could be said that there was no need to choose at all. Jiang Chen and Fu Hui randomly chose a path that was close to the side. There were fewer people passing by here and Jiang Chen didn't want to join the crowd. Therefore, he chose a relatively quiet path.
The people on the road formed groups of three to five and formed partners. Many individual cultivators had already found partners before they entered. They didn't have the advantage of the four major forces, but they had their own circle. Forming an alliance was the best choice, and they could do the same with each other.
Apart from the alliance, the people who entered also had a certain degree of vigilance against each other. Therefore, no one was willing to get close to each other. The people in groups of three to five also kept a distance of more than ten feet from each other.
After Jiang Chen and Fu Hui came up, their speed was faster than the others. They drifted away like a gust of chilly wind.
"Brother Jiang, the corpse qi inside is getting thicker and thicker. There's also the smell of death. Moreover, the corpse qi and the death qi are extremely corrosive. It's very uncomfortable," Fu Hui said with a frown.
Fu Hui said with a frown. Anyone who came to a place like this would feel depressed. That kind of terror was real, and not something that could be imagined.
"Be careful. It won't be peaceful here. Look over there."
Jiang Chen reminded and looked to the side.
Fu Hui looked over and saw a dried corpse casually placed on the side of the road. It was unknown how long this dried corpse had been there, but it was completely rotten. There were many holes on the dried corpse, and the flesh and blood seemed to have been hollowed out by some kind of sharp weapon. It died an incomparably miserable death.
"This is the doing of some kind of creature that specializes in eating human flesh."
Jiang Chen said.
Hearing this, Fu Hui's nerves instantly tensed up. His divine sense spread out in all directions. He didn't dare to be careless with this seemingly peaceful road.
They walked on the road for more than ten minutes. The road seemed to be endless, and the corpse qi and death qi on the road were even thicker. Not only could these corpse qi corrode the immortal qi and physical body of a person, but it could also corrode the soul of a person. If a person stayed in such an environment for a long time, they would have a mental breakdown.
"Argh …"
Suddenly, a scream rang out in front of them. The scream tore apart the peace and made people's hair stand on end. From the scream, they could tell that the person who screamed was suffering from extreme fear and pain. This scream directly stimulated the people walking on the road, and all of them tensed up.
"Argh … …"
Not long after, another scream was heard from the front, echoing unceasingly in the empty space.
"Dammit, what happened in front of us?"
Someone couldn't take it anymore and cursed.
* Ga Ga … … *
At this moment, a squawk suddenly sounded out of nowhere. With a swoosh, an unknown large black bird suddenly flew out. It was impossible to tell where this large bird came from. It was as if it existed in the void and could attack at any time.
The big bird was extremely fast and agile. After it appeared, it immediately locked onto Jiang Chen and Fu Hui. Its sharp beak was a foot long, reminding Jiang Chen and Fu Hui of the hollowed corpse.
The big black bird flapped its wings and attacked Fu Hui in the blink of an eye.
Fu Hui didn't dare to be careless. He drew out his sword and slashed the big bird in half. Fu Hui was, after all, a late Heaven Immortal expert and a rare genius of Tianyun Pavilion's inner sect. Under normal circumstances, he could still hold his own.
However, after killing the big bird, Fu Hui didn't even have the time to be happy. The body that was split in half flew up automatically and rapidly reassembled.
"Resurrected."
