Chapter 153 Dark Place
Bathed in moonlight, Chen An stood alone on the cliff, looking down at everyone, the wind tossing her long hair.
The heavy footsteps grew closer, coming from the foot of the mountain. When the person got closer, he whispered, "Sect Leader Chen An."
“Twenty thousand people, the Qu family has staked their entire clan.” Chen An turned around and looked at Qu Simu’s slightly weathered face. “Take me there.”
"Yes."
Following Qu Simu's instructions, Chen An casually created a teleportation array and went to the dungeon.
The dimly lit cell was divided into small squares, and thousands of demonic cultivators who had reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation squatted densely on both sides of the passageway, which was less than half a person's height.
Among these people were many with missing limbs and dismembered bodies; they timidly looked up when they saw someone approaching.
Chen An stood in the corridor and scanned the area. He casually collected these people and put them into the dragon bones.
Qu Simu's heart trembled at the thought that such a space could hold living beings; it was truly a rare find.
Perhaps when he was captured last time, Chen An took him to a place like this.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but groan inwardly and curse Chen An under his breath.
When dealing with a cunning and malicious person, the most important thing is to be wary.
Chen An could read his mind at any moment. Hearing that the curses he uttered weren't too excessive, he gave a meaningful smile and stared at Qu Simu.
Qu Simu realized something was wrong: "I..."
Chen An could read minds; he had known that for a long time. But no matter how hard he tried to pretend, he couldn't hide the thoughts in his heart.
"Well done." Since he would need Qu Simu in the future, Chen An didn't want to strain their relationship too much. After praising her, he casually tossed her a pill, saying, "It can save your life."
A blue halo appeared beneath their feet. When Qu Simu opened her eyes, the two were back on the cliff.
The moon was mostly obscured by clouds, but the remaining portion was still bright. Chen An looked at the moon's position and whispered, "Notify everyone that we will prepare for a night attack in half an hour."
Qu Simu's hand, which was holding the pill, gradually tightened. She looked up at Chen An and said, "Yes."
He took a few steps back, straightened his back, and walked down.
The crowd scattered, flanking from all directions. Dressed in white robes, they concealed themselves in the palaces of all sizes, eliminating as many demonic cultivators as possible before they could react.
Xue Shumo's favorite color is bright yellow, but today she changed into white, giving her a pure and elegant look.
However, when she gets physical, she doesn't hold back at all.
The demonic cultivator's head seemed to have deliberately run into her sword, with no way to avoid it.
Like her father, she relied not only on her cultivation level but also on her movement techniques in battle.
After advancing a mile, the demonic cultivators reacted, rushing headlong towards the three tall buildings in the very center of the Forbidden Abyss.
At this moment, Chen An had landed in the very center of the three palaces and unfolded the refined array, covering the entire Forbidden Abyss.
The malevolent energy that had been continuously providing power to the demonic cultivators was instantly dissipated by more than half, and even in the demonic cultivators' stronghold, they could not gain any advantage.
"What the hell is this?" The woman in white robes spoke in a cold voice, and as she stood behind Chen An, a faint possessiveness flickered in her eyes.
The man who followed, dressed in a green ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), stopped near the woman in the white robe and said in a deep voice, "You like it?"
Blood Fiend stood atop the tall building, his silver-white armor adorned with several crimson tassels, and said to Heavenly Fiend in white robes, "Such a fine appearance, Ghost Fiend and I will take it off and give it to you."
Chen An stared intently at Xue Sha, thinking to himself, "Next time I fight, I'll make my entrance like this too."
"Your courage in raiding the Forbidden Abyss at night is admirable." Tian Sha tilted his head slightly and sighed, "It's just a pity that such a beauty can never return."
"You should worry about yourself first."
Fu Gui suddenly appeared beside Tian Sha, and with one claw, three red marks appeared on the porcelain doll that was so white it was unbelievable.
Hearing Tian Sha's scream, Fu Gui leisurely landed on Chen An's shoulder, grinning as he stared at Gui Sha beside him: "Trying to skin Chen An alive? You've got some nerve, keep yelling."
He mimicked Tian Sha's manner, raising his head and staring at Chen An: "I'll back you up."
"Alright, I'll have to rely on Fugui." Chen An took out his ebony sword, held it horizontally in front of his chest, and winked playfully at Tian Sha.
……
Fu Gui looked at Tian Sha, then at Chen An, his face filled with disbelief.
His cat ears drooped for a few seconds before he leaned close to Chen An's ear and asked, "What's going on? Has she become immune to your solidified mental energy?"
Chen An appeared completely calm, but he was still surprised. There were five people present, including Fu Gui.
Apart from her, no one else had cultivated mental power, let alone had the ability to intercept her mental power.
Could it be home advantage? This advantage is even more useful than a cheat code like the system.
【Honey, I'm quite useful. It's already been checked, and it seems like someone else helped with that.】
"Who?"
Honey, we can't interfere with the system too much.
Chen An pursed his lips. Since a sneak attack wouldn't work, then he'd just have to fight head-on.
The first to make a move was Ghost Fiend, who wielded his pair of green longswords with unparalleled skill. Even though he was wearing cumbersome clothes, it did not affect his performance at all.
Within two seconds, Tian Sha calmed down. Rather than getting angry there, he decided it was better to beat Chen An to death and skin her alive.
After striking his pose to his heart's content, Xue Sha made his move. A silver spear with a red tassel, like a sea dragon, relentlessly thrust towards Chen An.
The three worked together seamlessly, fighting to a standstill against Chen An and Fu Gui.
While fighting them, Chen An focused her mind on the overall situation, trying to find the person blocking her solidified spiritual power.
The battle among the crowd intensified. Overall, the cultivators had the upper hand, but quite a few people were injured.
Despite suffering internal injuries, Xue Shumo, with his cultivation at the Lesser Completion stage of Yin and Yang, led a small team of several dozen members from the Xue family to the forefront.
He had to move through the crowd undetected, swiftly eliminating the demonic cultivators who were about to kill him, and doing his best to protect everyone.
Wu Siyue followed behind Mu Jingtai, forcefully swinging his longsword.
Everyone is working hard, and at this pace, we can win in just three hours.
An hour later, most of the demonic cultivators were dead or wounded, and their morale collapsed.
If the three Tian Sha were not still alive, they would probably have scattered and fled for their lives long ago.
After pondering for a moment, Chen An withdrew his thoughts from observing the crowd and prepared to kill one of the three to crush the morale of the demonic cultivators.
A blue circle framed Chen An and Gui Sha, and in a short while, the two appeared in the sky two miles away.
Both Tian Sha and Xue Sha were startled and quickly rushed towards Chen An.
In the instant the blade sliced through, the ghost's head and body were severed in two, and it slumped softly to the ground.
After the muffled thud, the cultivator's advance speed instantly increased several times.
Chen An's expression suddenly turned ugly. The power of the Heavenly Fiend and the Blood Fiend surged more than three times the moment she slashed down with her sword. The formation she had prepared earlier was also broken at this moment.
The sharp spear and claws attacked Chen An again. She had no time to think and immediately went to fight back.
She had enough strength to deal with the three, but she couldn't spare a single thought to deal with the two whose cultivation had increased dramatically.
