Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1691

Chapter 1691 (Raw 1703): Traveling in Groups

When the mysterious ancient doors opened, the disciples of the various sects immediately rushed in, flying into the island.

However, there was also a large group of people who remained calm. The fortuitous encounters in this Fiendish Demon Battlefield were great, but they did not need to be so anxious.

"Martial Uncle, let's go, then."

Ling Yu, who was at the side, was raring to go. He appeared extremely excited. Now that his strength had increased greatly, he had high expectations for the Fiendish Demon Battlefield.

Xiao Chen nodded, and the two of them went with the flow, pa.s.sing between those mysterious doors.

"Whoos.h.!.+"

The moment Xiao Chen stepped across the threshold, he felt a mighty and majestic force everywhere. The level of s.p.a.ce here was distinctly higher than even that of the blessed lands.

Several pained cries rang out. It turned out that when many of the sect disciples entered and soared into the air, the immense pressure from the world here caught them off guard.

These people immediately crashed to the ground, and their bones nearly shattered, putting them in so much pain that they wished for death as they moaned there.

The expression "getting off on the wrong foot" applied here.

With this lesson, the ones who arrived later sat down on the spot to work on adjusting to the pressure of this place first before doing anything else.

"Now that we are in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, Juniors, go and seek out your own fortuitous encounter. I have only one rule: our Purple Flame Sect never liked infighting. If you are discovered doing so, I will personally punish those responsible."

Hua Yunfeng gathered up the Purple Flame Sect disciples and gazed expressionlessly at his fellow disciples.

"Rest up now and proceed after you get used to the environment here."

After Hua Yunfeng finished giving out instructions, he led the true inheritors away, disappearing from this place in a few leaps.

The physiques of these true inheritors were much stronger than that of the core disciples and inner sect elites. Just feeling about for a while was sufficient for them to get used to the new environment. They did not need to spend time sitting down and adjusting.

"Martial Uncle, with our physiques, it seems that we do not need to waste time here." Ling Yu possessed a Great Desolate Eon bloodline and had also refined the golden Life Juice Source. His physique was not much weaker than a true inheritor's.

As for Xiao Chen, that went without saying.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Chen asked.

Ling Yu smiled. "I still have not thought of it. However, it is definitely the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion, the Ten Thousand Flower Garden, or the Ten Thousand Book Library. I'm waiting for Martial Uncle to make the decision."

These three were the most popular places, and the compet.i.tion there was the intensest.

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that I cannot travel with you. I'm going to the Buddha Seeking Platform."

Xiao Chen cultivated the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique. Naturally, his first destination was the Buddha Seeking Platform, a Buddhist holy land in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, so that he could improve his Saber Technique further.

Moreover, he had the Buddhist Śarīra Pearls to support him. Compared to ordinary people, his chances of a fortuitous encounter at the Buddha Seeking Platform would be higher.

Most importantly, his aim was different from Ling Yu's.

If the two went to the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion, Ling Yu only needed to obtain a good Treasure Tool, and it would be sufficient. How could Treasure Tools interest Xiao Chen?

Xiao Chen wanted a Dao Tool, which would mean clas.h.i.+ng with the peak true inheritors. Now was not the time.

Ling Yu felt it was unfortunate, his regret showing on his face. "In that case, I will go with the other juniors. Martial Uncle, take care!"

"You too."

The Fiendish Demon Battlefield was perilous, rife with Fiendish Demons. Every time the Fiendish Demon Battlefield closed, less than half the disciples returned alive.

The dangers involved were clear to see.

After exchanging reminders to be careful, Xiao Chen sent off the other party with his eyes. By now, many disciples could no longer wait. Stubbornly enduring the pressure, they left the safe zone, intending to adjust to the environment as they traveled.

Xiao Chen stood up as though it was nothing. Then, he went to the gathering point of the Purple Flame Sect disciples. The twenty core disciples had banded together and left in groups. Now, there was only one group that had not left yet.

However, to Xiao Chen's surprise, Yang Qing did not team up with anyone.

Xiao Chen came to this conclusion because a male Purple Flame Sect disciple was advising Yang Qing to join them.

"Junior Sister Yang Qing, just come with us."

"That's right. With one additional person looking after you in this Fiendish Demon Battlefield, it will be safer."

Yang Qing smiled faintly and rejected, "Senior Brother Wu, thank you for your kind intentions."

Xiao Chen walked over boldly and said with a faint smile, "I couldn't tell that you are rather popular."

That male Purple Flame Sect disciple addressed as Senior Brother Wu turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. Feeling confused, he asked, "Who are you?"

"He is my companion. Before we entered the main sect, we agreed to work together in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield," Yang Qing explained softly after standing up and walking over to Xiao Chen.

"A half-step Primal Core cultivator? I see. No matter who opened the back door for you, you'd better just stay here. You do not have any say in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield."

That Senior Brother Wu revealed an expression of enlightenment. He only took Xiao Chen for a relative of an inner sect Elder and believed that Yang Qing was interested in establis.h.i.+ng a relations.h.i.+p with this person.

He extended his hand, preparing to knock Xiao Chen unconscious here. Now that they were in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, there were not many rules to follow.

"Bang!" The two palms met, and that Senior Brother Wu paled as he staggered three steps back before someone behind supported him.

Xiao Chen did not move at all. His expression did not change aside from a faint smile. "On account of being from the same sect, I will not bicker over this palm strike. Quickly scram."

"Let's go!"

That Senior Brother Wu's arm had already numbed completely. When he saw Xiao Chen's smile, he felt a chill, so he quickly led the other inner sect disciples away.

Once those Purple Flame Sect disciples were far away, Xiao Chen's lips curled up as he said, "You really attract a lot of attention. Without being capable enough, I might have fallen earlier."

Yang Qing was not surprised at the strength that Xiao Chen revealed. She smiled and said, "I just knew that my judgment would not be wrong. I suppose you have your reasons for being a true inheritor's servant; you are just hiding your strength for now."

Xiao Chen blushed with shame in his heart. The other party truly overthought this.

However, it was not her fault. Word of Xiao Chen's face-off with Shangguan Lei and his fight with the Little Thunder Saber had spread only among the true inheritors and a small number of core disciples. The inner sect disciples did not even know of Xiao Chen yet.

Yang Qing's pool of information was very small, which made it hard to avoid erroneous judgments.

Never mind. I'll put these minor details aside first. Xiao Chen asked, "Are you planning for just the two of us working together?"

Yang Qing nodded and asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid? It is hard to predict a human's heart. Even though these people are from the same sect, things often become hard to manage when there are too many people, giving rise to all sorts of problems.

"There is no need for too many good companions. Just one is enough. Two is a G.o.dsend."

Surprise flashed across Xiao Chen's face. The other party's way of thinking was unique. However, it was rather compatible with his own thought. If not for having agreed to the other party before entering the sect, he would definitely have chosen to move alone in this Fiendish Demon Battlefield.

"I'm not afraid; don't worry. Where do you want to go?"

Yang Qing nodded and replied, "Let's go to the Buddha Seeking Platform. We cannot go to those places starting with the words 'ten thousand' for now. They are crowded. Even if we obtain a fortuitous encounter, it will be hard to get out. On the other hand, this kind of place that people normally ignore will be safer."

Although countless years had already pa.s.sed, the Buddha Seeking Platform still had some remnant Buddhist Might, which held some threat to the ferocious beasts and the Fiendish Demons there.

The two shared the same destination; this was really coincidental and would save on several detours.

"You want to go to the Buddha Seeking Platform as well?" Yang Qing asked, marveling at Xiao Chen's expression.

Xiao Chen nodded and waved the Buddhist Śarīra Pearls on his wrist. "I have an affinity with Buddhism."

"Let's go, then."

The Fiendish Demon Battlefield sounded like a boundless battlefield filled with Fiendish Demons. In reality, it was an independent world.

The Fiendish Demon Battlefield contained all sorts of complicated terrain. Of course, most of the places were ancient, but they were real.

The Fiendish Demons that appeared everywhere were real, as well.

The Fiendish Demon Battlefield contained fortuitous encounters, treasure troves, and inheritances. There would definitely be a lot of danger.

"Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+"

Xiao Chen and Yang Qing traveled side by side. As they leaped up and down, they moved rapidly and very far.

This Yang Qing is hiding a lot of her strength.

Upon seeing that Yang Qing managed to keep up, Xiao Chen entered deep thought. From the first time he saw her, he had felt that she was not as simple as she appeared.

Their progress now verified Xiao Chen's guess.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen had a strange thought.

What if while Xiao Chen was hiding his strength in front of Yang Qing, she was also hiding hers in front of him? Could it be that she had the same thoughts as he did?

There's no need to care so much for now. Yang Qing feels that her judgment is right; I also believe that I am not wrong in my judgment of people.

Realizing that Xiao Chen hid so much of his strength, Yang Qing sighed in her heart as well.
