Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 74: Li Jie's kindness

Views:

Outside the palace, killing started again.

Just because someone said "not enough" in the palace, the remaining monks from all walks of life raised their butcher knives once again.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, numerous brilliant beams of light and objects danced one after another. Some people were unable to react in time and fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

Pang Jian and his group did not become the target of those people this time, and no one dared to get close to them.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Pang Jian carefully examined the battlefield, watching the people from all walks of life who were fighting selflessly.

He soon noticed that the first people to be attacked and killed were all at the Tongmai Realm like the burly man.

Among the crowd, those "killing blades" who were willing to be used by those people in the mansion were almost all in the marrow cleansing realm like Zhou Qingchen.

Pang Jian suddenly thought of Jian Yaoyang and others.

If Jian Yaoyang and his group of seven had not died at their hands but had ended up in this square, the other six, except Jian Yaoyang, should have been dead long ago.

With Jian Yaoyang's cultivation and combat power, he is only qualified to be used as a sharp blade to kill people outside the city.

—and is not qualified to enter the City Lord’s Mansion.

Pang Jian deeply felt the cruelty of the cultivation world.

There were numerous corpses on the ground, most of whom were at the Tongmai Realm, with a small number at the Xisui Realm mixed in.

A cultivator of this level is an extremely extraordinary figure in Beiqi where he is, or even in the entire fourth realm.

Anyone who has cultivated to the Marrow Cleansing Realm will be treated as an honored guest when visiting any of the seven major families.

But outside the City Lord's Mansion of Bagua City, people like Jinyang and Dong Qianfeng who are in the Tongmai Realm are just ordinary corpses.

Lian Hongtai is no exception.

"I'll go check out the front door."

Pang Jian sighed secretly, then whispered something to Zhou Qingchen, and just like before, he walked from the left to the main entrance where the girl in white was.

He planned to take the opportunity to survey the battlefield again.

He soon arrived at the main entrance and saw a veiled girl standing alone at the street entrance.

The girl's true face was not seen, and her eyes were full of indifference and contempt for life. There were some corpses placed in a mess around her.

None of the newly added bodies were intact.

After Pang Jian appeared, she turned her head indifferently and looked at him expressionlessly.

Pang Jian immediately stopped, nodded at her, and looked at the practitioners fighting around the main gate.

The cultivation realm of those people is almost all at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and it is very difficult to find those at the Meridian Opening Realm.

The people gathered here to fight seemed to be waiting for the miracle to unfold so that they could rush into the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible.

Pang Jian had an idea in mind. He knew that because the back door was closed, the location where they were located was the area where the cultivators' combat power was the weakest.

When enough people have died in Bagua City, the back door may not be opened. If you want to rush into the palace as quickly as possible, you can only go through the main gate.

"No wonder she came to the front gate."

After observing for a while, Pang Jian did not return the same way this time, but continued to move left around Bagua City.

The indifferent young man holding a blood-stained spear and walking slowly around the wall was also noticed by many people in the battle.

Most of the people who noticed him were in other areas of the City Lord's Mansion and did not see the killing at the back door.

But for some reason, after looking at him, those who wanted to collect the death toll as quickly as possible did not dare to attack him.

Pang Jian successfully moved to the street corner where darkness once surged.

He stopped here and looked warily at the darkness at the intersection that was as thick as ink.

The darkness before my eyes became the same as that at other street intersections. There were no more strange movements, and the foreign objects lurking in the darkness seemed to have disappeared long ago.

"hehe."

On the recliner next to him, Li Jie, who was leisurely drinking green juice, as if unaware that he was in a bloody Shura field, suddenly chuckled and said, "There's nothing to see. Even if there really is some evil thing, it won't show up now."

"Pang Jian!"

Luo Hongyan, Zhou Qingchen and others who were not far away finally saw him at this moment and signaled him to come back quickly.

Pang Jian nodded and walked towards them.

"Little brother."

When he walked to the front of the recliner, Li Jie smiled and took the initiative to speak, saying: "Later, the light column in the City Lord's Mansion will shrink into the pool, and the mirror tunnel for leaving will also open. At that time, you will have two choices."

"One is to leave directly through the mirror tunnel and not covet the spiritual weapons in the pool. This way the chance of survival is the highest."

"The other option is to stay and wait for an opportunity to seize the treasures in the pool. Haha, I wonder what you guys will choose."

Zhou Qingchen and others also heard his words clearly.

Pang Jian has not returned yet, Zhou Qingchen and others have been pondering, thinking about what to do next.

"You'll know how to choose after you've seen it."

Pang Jian responded quickly.

"Yes. Only after you really look at it, maybe you will give up and make the best choice for you."

Li Jie smiled friendly, took out three glass bottles of green juice from his storage ring, sat up and handed them to Pang Jian: "I'll treat you to some juice."

Pang Jian was stunned: "Why invite me?"

Li Jie pointed at Zhou Qingchen and the dazed Su Meng and said, "Please them both as well, so I gave you three bottles."

Before Pang Jian could ask why, he explained, "It's like this. After entering Bagua City, I wandered around the streets. But only three people, after seeing me dressed like this, did not covet the objects on my body, nor did they want to kill me for the treasures."

"Really, there are only three of you, so I'll buy you some juice."

Li Jie narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Oh, okay."

"What a strange guy..."

Zhou Qingchen muttered something first, then suddenly remembered something and shouted at Li Jie, "That strange boy, my Senior Sister Jiang, has he ever coveted the treasure on your body?"

Li Jie was speechless and shook his head: "She has never seen me and has been hiding from me all the time. She has no chance to covet my treasure at all."

"Haven't you seen it now? Doesn't she covet your treasure? Why don't you give her an extra bottle?"

Zhou Qingchen glared at Li Jie and questioned.

"Junior Brother Zhou, how can there be someone like you..."

Jiang Li found it funny and quickly tugged at his sleeve, telling him not to act so unreasonable.

"It's really rare to see a guy like you." Li Jie sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, just consider it my negligence."

Then another bottle of green juice flew over.

Zhou Qingchen took a few steps forward, took the bottle of green juice steadily, and handed it to Jiang Li, grinning and saying, "The thing is not important. What's important is that I know that Senior Sister is a kind person, and she can't be slandered by this guy."

Jiang Li's eyes sparkled as she looked at this tall and rough... big boy, her heart overflowing with gratitude.

She took the initiative to hold Zhou Qingchen's hand, hesitated for a moment, and mustered up the courage to say: "Junior Brother Zhou, can you promise me one thing?"

"I'll promise you anything!"

Zhou Qingchen puffed out his chest and laughed.

"Later, if we are lucky enough to get in, we can just leave through the mirror tunnel, okay? I am tired and exhausted, and I just want to leave this terrible city as soon as possible. Junior Brother Zhou, can you promise me this?"

Jiang Li begged, shaking his arm gently.

Seeing her weak and powerless appearance, Zhou Qingchen's heart almost melted. He was about to agree at once, but suddenly he said seriously: "No! I will not leave until I kill the guy who chopped off your arm! I can give up the treasure inside, but that person must die!"

Zhou Qingchen firmly rejected her request.

"You big fool, she wanted you to leave directly through the mirror tunnel just because she was afraid that you would be killed by that person."

Unable to bear it any longer, Luo Hongyan bluntly pointed out Jiang Li's thoughts and added in a cold voice, "She thinks that the guy who cut off her arm is too strong and you are no match for him. She is afraid that you will be killed by him too."

"No, it's not." Jiang Li explained in a low voice.

Zhou Qingchen snorted: "Even so, I still want to try!"

"I'll accompany you." Pang Jian said softly.

“Good brother!”

Zhou Qingchen laughed strangely, patted his shoulder heavily, stared at Han Duping and said, "Old Han, why don't you express your opinion quickly and say that you will live and die with me?"

Han Duping hung his head and said weakly, "If there is really a glimmer of hope, I will naturally accompany you. But if there is no chance at all and it is a clear death trap, then we will break up."

"Okay, that's about it."

At this moment, that leisurely and lazy voice came again from inside the City Lord's Mansion.

As the sound came, everyone was suddenly surprised to find that the pillar of light that rushed toward the sky from the City Lord's Mansion was actually shrinking inch by inch downwards.

Pang Jian suddenly looked at Li Jie.

Li Jie seemed to be well aware of the many strange things in Bagua City and the City Lord's Mansion, and everything he said would be quickly verified to be correct.

He said that when strange things happened in the palace, the pillar of light rising into the sky would shrink, and it turned out to be true immediately.

"This guy..."

Pang Jian seemed to be thinking about something.

"Remember to drink the juice."

Seeing him looking at him, Li Jie smiled, raised the glass bottle in his hand, and shook it towards him.

Pang Jian said nothing, but frowned as he looked at the bodies lying in disarray outside the City Lord's Mansion.

He discovered that the speed at which the broken limbs and flesh were shrinking towards the stone floor suddenly increased!

He suddenly had a strange feeling. The more and faster the corpses entered the stone floor, the faster the light column in the mansion would shrink.

The practitioners from all walks of life who were fighting with bloodshot eyes quickly calmed down after hearing the sounds from inside the mansion.

Looking up at the slowly shrinking column of light and the corpses disappearing one by one towards the stone floor, they suddenly reacted!

"Enough of the death toll!"

"The rare treasure in the palace will truly appear in the world!"

“You can go in now!”

One after another, figures, no matter where they were previously scattered, began to gather towards the main gate.

"Zhou Qingchen, the person who just spoke is the one who chopped off your senior sister's arm."

Luo Hongyan no longer covered up for Jiang Li, and told the truth, saying coldly: "That man should be called Qi Qingsong, remember to kill him after you go in."

Zhou Qingchen took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I will!"

"You should go in now."

Li Jie, who was not far away, also put the recliner into his storage ring. He winked at Pang Jian and said, "One more reminder, it's best to drink the green juice I kindly gave you as soon as possible. Don't worry, I, Li Jie, have always been upright and honest. I won't put any poison powder in it like you guys did."

Zhou Qingchen, who had just finished drinking, clutched the empty glass bottle and looked at him with horror.

Li Jie rolled his eyes and cursed, "Stupid guy, don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you I won't poison you, why are you still acting like you've drunk a bellyful of poison?"

"It had not occurred to me before that you might have poisoned me."

Zhou Qingchen looked bitter and honestly admitted: "When you said that, I suddenly felt scared. Old Han said that we should always be on guard against others!"

Li Jie glared at Zhou Qingchen, then ignored them and walked towards the main entrance first.
