Chapter 848: Chapter 737 Missions and Spies_4

"The ecology within the Abyss Ground is always so magnificent... but also extremely dangerous."

Chi Songzi once again reminded, "Our city has paid a heavy price and lost quite a few hands, including several high-level cultivators, to explore a relatively safe route..."

He took out a jade bottle from his chest, pinched a bit of powder from it, and flicked it twice.

Two clouds of dust enveloped Fang Xi and Fairy Shi.

"This is ’Millet Dust’... It can help us lower our presence, to avoid attracting the attention of powerful beings within the Abyss Ground..."

After finishing his explanation, Chi Songzi led the way in front.

Fang Xi followed indifferently.

Half a month later, after experiencing a series of wondrous adventures in the Abyss Ground, the three of them finally saw Elder Tong in a cave.

This person was also an elder of Moon Invitation Immortal City, with a burly stature, a face full of beard, in the mid-stage of Returning to Emptiness, but he had sustained heavy injuries.

"Sir Tong..."

Chi Songzi hurriedly went forward, taking out a jade bottle containing healing pills, "How did this come to be?"

After swallowing the pills, Elder Tong’s complexion improved slightly, and he answered, "I encountered a pursuit by the Sky Demon Association, they had planted a spy in my team... Fortunately, I had a backup plan and secretly returned through this underground route... it’s just my bad luck to run into an ’Underworld Beast’..."

"An Underworld Beast, a creature comparable to the seventh level... unaffected by the Millet Dust, Sir Tong, your luck..."

Chi Songzi had a wry smile on his face.

"With my severe injuries, I could only call for help, thankfully you fellow cultivators came to the rescue..."

Elder Tong gave his thanks with a salute.

Fang Xi and Fairy Shi naturally returned the gesture.

The four of them followed the same route back.

Fang Xi observed secretly and found that Elder Tong indeed had quite serious injuries; if they were to encounter another Transcendent God-level danger, it would spell disaster for all.

Going by his condition alone, he would even have trouble returning through the Mysterious Dark Sea’s eye.

Not to mention there was still a part of the journey to go!

’It seems that the materials he carries are indeed very important to Moon Invitation Immortal City... Could they be the key components for crafting a Quasi-seventh-order puppet?’ Fang Xi couldn’t help but speculate in his heart.

...

Half a month later.

Mysterious Dark Abyss.

In the Mysterious Dark Sea’s eye, a Flood Dragon Phantom suddenly burst forth, followed by three Escape Lights.

"We’re finally out..."

Fang Xi withdrew the Poison Dragon Shadow, feeling somewhat emotional.

For him, who controlled the ’Mysterious Dark Banner,’ the eye of the Mysterious Dark Sea wasn’t really dangerous but rather a beneficial place.

The longer he stayed in the eye of the Mysterious Dark Sea, the more the Mysterious Dark Banner could absorb the sea water, refining its potency.

"The most dangerous part of the journey is behind us, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief," Chi Songzi laughed heartily.

A smile also appeared on Elder Tong’s face.

At that moment, all four of their expressions changed drastically.

Divine Consciousness at the late stage of Returning to Emptiness, from who knows where, had suddenly locked onto them firmly!

Several auras of Returning to Emptiness swiftly surrounded them, clearly with ill-intent.

"It’s Old Qiao from the Sky Demon Association!"

Elder Tong’s expression changed, "How did he manage to track us down so accurately?"

Chi Songzi’s face was filled with suspicion and uncertainty as he looked towards Fang Xi and Fairy Shi.

He somewhat suspected these two had been influenced by the Sky Demon Association.

Fang Xi’s brows furrowed.

In such a critical moment, to have internal strife would be perilous for all, of course meant for the other three cultivators.

"Haha!"

"You two have done well, our Sky Demon Association will not treat you poorly."

Old Qiao approached rapidly with his Escape Light, regarding Fang Xi and Fairy Shi with a face full of approval.

Hearing this, Chi Songzi and Elder Tong’s expressions changed dramatically, "You two, are indeed spies?"

Fang Xi and Fairy Shi exchanged glances, both seeing the flicker of doubt and uncertainty in each other’s eyes.

However, in such a situation, preserving their own safety was never a mistake.

Fairy Shi immediately activated the ’Thousand-Flower Treasure Mirror,’ and a strange fragrance swept past as numerous blossoms the size of bowls bloomed in the Void, creating a sea of flowers to protect him.

Fang Xi sighed and took out a talisman.
