Chu Chen, who was climbing up the stairs of the Kingdom of Stone, suddenly heard a chuckle, causing him to be stunned.
He turned his head and saw a petite figure at the end of the long street.
"Senior Martial Brother Chu, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The girl in green smiled and waved at him, as if she was welcoming a family member who had been separated for a long time.
Chu Chen also smiled faintly and nodded at her.
The girl was dressed in green, her hair was like a waterfall, and her face was delicate and cute. Her entire body exuded a youthful aura. It was Zhou Lin, whom he hadn't seen in a long time!
"Why can't I sense your aura?"
As soon as Chu Chen asked this, he saw the girl point at the simple jade pendant hanging in front of her chest. He immediately understood that she had obtained a magic tool to hide her aura. No wonder he couldn't find anyone after searching for so long with his spirit sense.
"I heard that the battle in the Immortal Crystal Ancient Mountain was extremely dangerous. It's good that you're fine, Senior Martial Brother Chu."
Zhou Lin said with a smile. She skipped in front of Chu Chen and scanned him up and down with her big bright eyes.
"I'm not injured. Lan Xuan and the others are already here, right?" Chu Chen asked softly.
"They're all here. Senior Martial Brother Chu, you're the last to arrive. Let's go, I'll take you to meet everyone. "
Zhou Lin waved her small hand. In about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she brought Chu Chen to a stone courtyard.
The stone courtyard was in a state of dilapidation. There were broken walls everywhere, and there was only a dried up well.
Under Zhou Lin's lead, the two climbed down the well. Chu Chen discovered that there was actually a vast space underground.
The area occupied by this ancient giant city wasn't limited to the ground. There were actually three floors underground.
It was a living underground kingdom.
Under Zhou Lin's lead, they passed through a complicated alley, crossed an underground river that had long dried up, and even passed through an underground forest that had long been petrified.
Under an astonishingly thick old tree, Chu Chen finally saw Lan Xuan, Shi Yuyan, and Xuan Ke.
The old tree had existed for an unknown period of time. Most of its branches had turned into fossils, and the remaining parts had withered.
However, this old tree that had already lost its vitality had the ability to isolate its aura. It was like an ancient array that no divine sense could enter.
When the three people under the tree saw Chu Chen walking over, their faces lit up.
"Senior Brother Chu, you're finally here! How are you? You didn't get injured after being hit by the purple lightning, right? "
Lan Xuan was very concerned. He almost jumped up and rushed over. He wanted to hug Chu Chen, but Chu Chen waved his hand, indicating for him to keep his distance.
Although the old cultivator, Xuan Ke, looked tired, he was not seriously injured. Only his left shoulder, which was wrapped in white bandages, was a little charred. He smiled slightly at Chu Chen.
On the other hand, Shi Yuyan, who was sitting motionless, had a shallow red scar on her beautiful cheek.
However, the strange thing was that not only did the red scar not destroy her beauty, it instead added a delicate and pitiful feeling to her, making her appear even more beautiful and moving, causing people's eyes to light up.
It seemed that this witch had also suffered a small loss. For a while, her injuries would not be completely healed.
"Everyone is fine … very good!"
At this moment, the stone in Chu Chen's heart was finally completely lifted.
Several people exchanged a few words with each other, then sat down at the stone table under the old tree and talked about the soul-stirring purple lightning attack.
It turned out that when the purple lightning struck, Duan Xiong was standing very close to the three people, but he was farther from Chu Chen.
Therefore, when Duan Xiong released his spirit force shield, the first thing he did was to protect the three of them. On the contrary, Chu Chen and Qi Fei suffered a lot of lightning strikes.
Later, the gray flood dragon was killed, Chu Chen and Qi Fei were struck by lightning and fell down, and Duan Xiong was seriously injured and fled to an unknown place to heal.
The three people who were not seriously injured fell from the sky.
They searched back and forth in the area where Chu Chen fell several times but did not find him. They also did not see Chu Chen's brother, Qi Fei. In the end, they decided to hide at the gathering point and wait for him to come.
Although the distance of 100,000 miles sounded very far, for the three people who were at least in the Spirit River Realm, it did not take them much effort to get here.
On the other hand, Chu Chen was in a coma for several days. After he woke up, he silently comprehended his battle experience, and it took him more than 10 days to gather with everyone here.
Chu Chen could not help but worry about Qi Fei. He did not know how he was doing, but since he could not find him, he could only wait for his news.
At the end of the conversation, everyone sighed in admiration of the Nine Heavens, whether it was Heng Tian, who was suppressed by Old Devil Duan, or the unfathomable Ji Mie Tian, who used purple lightning to attack everyone.
If all nine people from the Nine Heavens appeared together, how terrifying would they be?
No wonder the Nine Heavens could become the top formation destroying team in the Small Celestial Realm. With nine people of such level, once the Nine Heavens joined forces, who in the Small Celestial Realm could fight against them?
Perhaps … perhaps only that "Yin", which was formed by several super old devils!
After coming to the Small Celestial Realm for so long, Chu Chen had heard all kinds of rumors about Yin, but he had never seen any of them. This formation destroying team was definitely the most powerful and the most mysterious one.
Chu Chen suddenly raised a hand to silence everyone, indicating that he had something to say.
At this moment, everyone stopped and silently looked at Chu Chen, the actual leader of the group.
"After leaving the immortal crystal mountain, everything has basically come to an end. What do you all plan to do now?"
"Young Brother Chu, what about you?"
The old cultivator, Xuan Ke, asked first.
"I plan to continue venturing deeper into the Small Celestial Realm to search for hidden secrets and old friends."
Chu Chen pondered for a moment, then spoke of his plan.
"The deeper we go, the more likely we are to encounter great opportunities. Perhaps we might even touch upon the true secrets of the Small Celestial Realm. However, it also means that it will be more dangerous. After the battle of the immortal crystal mountain, everyone should have experienced the terror of the Great Formation Destroying Team. The deeper we go, the more likely we will encounter those top formation destroying experts. In a sense, they are even scarier than the King Beast."
After Chu Chen said that, everyone fell silent.
Everyone understood what he meant. If they went deeper, Chu Chen would not be able to take care of everyone's lives. Therefore, he also advised everyone to put safety first.
"This old man's life is worthless. Cultivation is my life. If we go deeper, we will definitely encounter great opportunities. As the saying goes, if you hear the Dao in the morning, you can die in the evening. This old man is not afraid of death. Brother Chu, I will go deeper with you."
The old cultivator, Xuan Ke, was the first to speak.
"I'm very curious about what's in the depths of the Small Celestial Realm. If I'm lucky, I might get a great creation item. Maybe I can redeem myself immediately. I will go with you," Lan Xuan said with a smile.
Shi Yuyan looked indifferent and said coldly, "I'm just temporarily with you. If we go deeper together, we can take care of each other. I can leave at any time. You don't have to treat me as a real member of your team."
"Senior Sister Shi is so cool."
Zhou Lin, who was making spirit tea for everyone, looked envious. "A talented genius can come and go freely anywhere."
Chu Chen looked at Zhou Lin. The girl knew what he was asking. She smiled faintly and said, "With my strength, it's obviously not suitable to go deeper into the Small Celestial Realm. After you leave here, I won't travel with you anymore. But I will bring you back in the vicinity."
"Silly girl, the depths of the Small Celestial Realm are extremely dangerous. We might not be able to return," Lan Xuan said faintly.
"Then I will continue to wait here. Either you remove the seal of the Small Celestial Realm and let me return to my original world, or until the Small Celestial Realm is completely destroyed, I will be annihilated with everyone. Because I have no family in this Small Celestial Realm, only you. If you don't come back, I won't leave either."
