Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Strange Space

Boom!

The True Dragon dove into the ground like a fish leaping into the deep sea, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Just as Su Chengyu was wondering what had happened, the six True Dragon Reverse Scales within him also reacted. The vast expanse of yellow sand began to tumble about, and what was initially a mere few yards of sand flow quickly turned into a huge vortex over a hundred yards across.

A tremendous pulling force sucked Su Chengyu in instantly; he tried to resist but found that he could not use even a sliver of spiritual energy.

In his bewilderment, Ye Qingci reached out and grabbed his hand.

With astonishment, Su Chengyu looked up—as Ye Qingci took him along to another side and also grabbed the unconscious Yu Yanshu.

Gazing at Yu Yanshu, who had passed out from overexertion, Ye Qingci spoke softly, "You’ve worked hard."

Witnessing this scene, Su Chengyu still felt somewhat anxious and said, "Aunt Ye, what’s happening now?"

"Don’t resist. The sand flow is meant to take us underground."

"Underground?"

"Mhm. Although I don’t know how this girl discovered there was space below, her risky action has indeed provided us with a way out."

Su Chengyu blinked in surprise and asked, "What realm is that demon of the Demon Clan exactly?"

Ye Qingci shook her head, "It’s a bit strange, hard to judge. But if we continued to fight, it’s very likely I would have been defeated."

Although the opponent had already made a move, Ye Qingci still hadn’t fully determined the opponent’s realm. At first glance, the two moves appeared to be of the typical Hollow Realm; however, the skillful use of mana was far beyond that of an average cultivator at that level.

It gave Ye Qingci the impression that the opponent had never used their full strength.

Yet, this feeling was different from the time she confronted Long Xuan, who indeed didn’t have much intent to kill her at that time. But the demon they faced now definitely harbored significant animosity.

Not just towards her, but towards Su Chengyu as well.

Therefore, she really couldn’t understand why the opponent would hide their true strength in this situation.

Strange. Everything about this black-robed member of the Demon Clan was filled with an air of strangeness.

Fortunately, Yu Yanshu took advantage of the opportunity and collaborated with her to trigger this massive sand flow.

Caught in the grip of this natural force, although Ye Qingci lost sight of the opponent, the latter was also unable to determine their whereabouts, allowing them to temporarily evade disaster.

The only thing that concerned Ye Qingci was what exactly lay beneath the ground.

Thinking about this, Ye Qingci suddenly felt the sand flow under her feet nearing its end. In an instant, she gathered her focus, grabbed the hands of Su Chengyu and Yu Yanshu, and leapt directly into the depths below.

Landing firmly on the ground, Ye Qingci surveyed her surroundings. The lush vines were a stark contrast to the barren yellow sand above.

"What place is this?" Su Chengyu, looking around at the several passageways in shock, asked.

Ye Qingci shook her head, glanced around at a few structures that were clearly carved out and said, "It looks like it isn’t a space where the human race has lived. The size and scale seem more akin to the Dragon Clan."

Su Chengyu swallowed nervously, looking towards the depths, "So, this place is what this Cave Heaven was originally supposed to look like?"

"Perhaps, but if there’s anything hidden here, it would be in this place, not above in that expanse of yellow sand."

The space beneath the yellow sand wasn’t something one could simply find by moving downwards; the sand flow had carried them through not just the distance between the surface and underground, but nearly to an entirely different location.

Hence, Ye Qingci had no doubt that anywhere above the sand could lead to this underground space, only...

Ye Qingci turned her head and glanced at Yu Yanshu. It was only by relying on Yu Yanshu’s "Primordial Eye" and its nearly world-altering ability that they had come to be within this underground place—how could others possibly discover this location?

"Let’s send Yan’er to the ’Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map’ first, she probably won’t wake up anytime soon."

In terms of injuries, Yu Yanshu definitely hadn’t overstretched herself as much as Ye Qingci had, but Ye Qingci was ultimately an anomaly.

Her cultivation technique was too special; not to mention Yu Yanshu of the Tongxuan Realm, even she herself couldn’t compare.

Su Chengyu nodded, a bit worried as he resettled Yu Yanshu back into the "Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map." Ye Qingci looked at Su Chengyu and slowly said, "Don’t worry too much, Yan’er will be unconscious for a while, and a big reason is that she has absorbed too much spiritual energy from this world. It’ll also take quite some time to digest them."

Su Chengyu said in surprise, "All that spiritual energy that entered Yan’er’s eyes will turn into her own mana?"

"Hmm? You’ve been her mentor for so long, and you don’t know?"

Su Chengyu’s face reddened as he said, "After an anomaly appeared in Yan’er’s eyes, I forbade her from using the full ’Primordial Eye.’"

Ye Qingci gave him a blank look, "This kind of swallowing method of absorbing spiritual energy to enhance strength can indeed cause problems with an unstable foundation, but overall, it’s more beneficial than harmful, as long as she doesn’t overly rely on it."

Su Chengyu nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Then with this method, won’t Yan’er’s cultivation speed be even faster?"

Ye Qingci nodded, "Otherwise? After all, it’s a ’Primordial Eye’ level talent, could her cultivation speed be slow?"

Su Chengyu swallowed hard; he had always thought that Yu Yanshu’s cultivation speed was already fast enough, not realizing he had still underestimated her.

"Alright, let’s talk about Yan’er’s situation later; let’s leave this place first. I can feel that those two fellas’ landing spots are probably not far from here."

The sand flow had swept them up and naturally had also swept up Kuronagi and the Demon Monarch.

It was just that for some reason, the Demon Monarch had not come searching in their direction.

However, Ye Qingci did not have the intention to actively explore either, the mysterious methods of the Demon Clan member were odd, and without being certain, Ye Qingci did not want to engage with the opponent again.

Su Chengyu nodded and followed behind Ye Qingci. However, Ye Qingci suddenly stopped and turned to look at Su Chengyu, "Why are you following me? Where are you going?"

With countless passages ahead, Ye Qingci certainly didn’t want to blindly rely on luck.

"Ah?"

Su Chengyu’s mind went blank, not understanding why Ye Qingci would ask him this.

Ye Qingci rolled her eyes at him, "Don’t those six ’True Dragon Reverse Scales’ still sit with you? Don’t tell me you can’t even figure out which path is the safest?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu then brought out the six ’True Dragon Reverse Scales,’ which indeed began to stir in this place, slowly moving until they all converged within one passageway.

"Aunt Ye, this way."

Ye Qingci nodded and then took the lead in front of Su Chengyu to clear the way while Su Chengyu suppressed his aura and followed closely behind.

And after the two had completely left, near another tunnel entrance and around the corner, the black-robed member of the Demon Clan finally spoke up.

"Let’s go, they’ve already left."

Kuronagi said with some urgency, "My Lord! Since they were nearby just now, why didn’t we just go and kill them!"

"Kill? You want to do it? The previous two moves were already the limit I was willing to accept, they’re not worth me wasting any more mana!" the black-robed elder said coldly.

Kuronagi was instantly at a loss for words and lowered his head, silent. The black-robed elder looked at Kuronagi and said softly, "I know what you’re worried about, don’t worry. Once I’ve recovered my strength, I will certainly kill that Xia Country brat. The second Su Linyuan? Hmph, as long as I regain my strength, even if he were Su Linyuan, what would I have to fear?"
