Chapter 1497: 1497

Xuan Qing went to the channel with Jiang Chen after killing one thousand Human Demonic Kings .

Since the channel was at the center and it was the only one, it was inevitable to run into others .

More than eight hundred people entered the Demonic Abyss this time . All of them were Martial something .

Different from Jiang Chen’s past experiences, this place was not surrounded by geniuses anymore .

Before the two arrived at the channel, two persons appeared where they had finished the task .

There was a huge gap between their ages . One of them was about thirty years old, while the other was a white-haired old man .

They were exactly Prince Fengyu and his Second Elder .

“They were really here . ”

The two were thrilled when they had captured the fluctuation remaining in the air .

Seeing Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing walking into the Mysterious Gate together, Prince Fengyu knew Xuan Qing was going to be Jiang Chen’s guide .

Before he came here, he had investigated which secret places the disciples of the Slay Demon Palace would go after entering the Demonic Abyss .

These secret places were not known to outsiders, and there were abundant demons .

This place was one of them .

Second Elder took out a crystal that looked like a Rubik’s cube . He swept it across where the fluctuation was the strongest in the air .

The Rubik’s cube emitted some radiances, which later turned into the scene of what had happened .

They saw how Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing had killed those demons .

“Gosh! He has an Immortal Artifact, and the Mysterious Gate didn’t find it out?”

The Infinite Sai caught Second Elder’s attention immediately . He was greatly surprised .

“That woman must have helped him . ”

Prince Fengyu felt jealous . He had no idea how Jiang Chen had managed to subdue Xuan Qing .

He knew nothing about the scheme against Xuan Qing .

In fact, it was hard to say whether the scheme really existed . It could just be Xuan Qing’s illusion .

“We must kill him!”

Second Elder was extremely resolute to kill Jiang Chen . But more than that, he was extremely greedy .

“They have finished the task . We should hurry up! Young master, don’t show up later . There are outsiders . ”

“Okay!”

The two traveled to the Plane’s Channel as fast as they could .

Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing were fast, too .

While flying there, Xuan Qing wanted to see how fast Jiang Chen could achieve as a swordsman .

However, she found no matter how she had accelerated, Jiang Chen could always keep pace with her .

“He wouldn’t be able to be so fast just relying on the law of wind,” Xuan Qing thought to herself .

When they had arrived at the channel, only more than two hours had passed since they had gone through the Mysterious Gate .

So, almost no one was around the channel .

The channel leading to the lower layers was a strange-looking construction . It was neither a building nor a tower .

And only the upper part was above ground .

Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing landed near it . They immediately saw there were a few disciples from the Slay Demon Palace .

Judging from their uniforms, they should be key disciples .

“The Demonic Abyss is related to a serious matter . What matters most is the channels connecting different layers . There are currently so many people coming and going . That’s why the Slay Demon Palace has sent some people to maintain orders here . ”

Xuan Qing explained after noticing Jiang Chen’s confused look .

Jiang Chen said, “The Goddess of Empyrean wouldn’t have left anything that needs human maintenance when she created the Demonic Abyss . It doesn’t accord with the characteristics of the Mysterious Gate . ”

“That’s right . ”

Xuan Qing knew what he was talking about . He was implying the Slay Demon Palace had been driven by money . They let so many people in that they had to arrange guards to keep an eye on the place .

Since she was on Jiang Chen’s side currently, she was not angry .

Besides, Jiang Chen did not mean anything bad . He simply pointed out a fact .

It was normal for the Slay Demon Palace to charge people, but they should not be so greedy .

“Apprentice Elder Sister Xuan Qing, how come you came down here?”

The key disciples out of the transmission house recognized Xuan Qing immediately when they saw two people walking over . They were quite surprised .

“Just checking out . Doing someone a favor,” Xuan Qing said calmly .

“A favor?”

The key disciples were very surprised . Xuan Qing was famous in the Slay Demon Palace . She was not only pretty but also the descendant of the Goddess of Empyrean .

However, she was also known for aloofness and indifference .

It was incredible that she had taken the trouble to come down to do someone a favor .

“We want to use the transmission house . ”

Seeing them struck dumb because of astonishment, Xuan Qing emphasized unhappily .

“Okay . No problem . Let me find Apprentice Elder Brother Xu . ”

The key disciple before her came to himself . He hurried to run away .

“I guess you are not very close to other disciples in your school . ”

Jiang Chen had found out how people saw Xuan Qing on their way .

“I don’t feel I belong to the Slay Demon Palace,” Xuan Qing said coldly .

As to the reason, Jiang Chen could more or less guess it .

In her eyes, the Slay Demon Palace must be one of the schemers .

“Have you ever thought that you are just overthinking? The boy who disappeared when you were eight could leave for some other reason,” Jiang Chen said carefully .

“It’s impossible . ”

Xuan Qing shook her head . Her look was very resolute . She said, “I didn’t come to this world out of nowhere . Otherwise, the families into which my mother and my grandmother married would know . ”

“All right . ”

Jiang Chen did not try to argue .

That Apprentice Elder Brother Xu in charge of the transmission house came into their sight very soon .

The disciple who had gone to inform him had obviously told him about the two .

He was doubtful at first . Not until he had seen Xuan Qing did he confirm there was nothing wrong . However, he frowned and threw Jiang Chen, standing next to Xuan Qing, a hostile look .

“Alas . ”

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders . He had guessed what was going to happen next . He thought to himself, “Women are really troublesome . ”

“Apprentice Younger Sister Xuan Qing, why did you come down?”

This Apprentice Elder Brother Xu, asked the same thing after approaching her .

“I have some errands to run,” Xuan Qing answered simply . She looked impatient .

Apprentice Elder Brother Xu was struck dumb . Raising his thick eyebrow, he said, “Give me your hand . ”

He was holding a jade in his hand . Its material was the same as what the Mysterious Gate was made of .

“It can detect whether a person has killed one thousand Human Demonic Kings . The transmission house can detect that, too . But there are too many people on the first and the second layer, so this is a way to alleviate the burden caused by the large flow of people . ”

Xuan Qing told Jiang Chen through holy awareness .

Then she extended her hand and pressed against the jade . There was no problem .

When it was Jiang Chen’s turn, the result was the same .

However, Apprentice Elder Brother Xu did not have the intention to let them go into the transmission house . He looked like he was pondering on something with a false smile .

“The Mysterious Gate had been open for only two hours . Apprentice younger sister, you are a Martial Arts Saint . The task is certainly easy for you . But you are only a Martial Emperor in the late stage . How come you were so fast as well?” he said .

He did not even try to hide his doubt and disdain .

Jiang Chen stayed calm . He asked, “What are you implying?”

“The Demonic Abyss isn’t a playground . My apprentice younger sister is a good person . She helped you finish the task, but you shouldn’t be here,” Apprentice Elder Brother Xu said predicatively .

Jiang Chen absolutely would not be polite to such people . He shouted, “It’s none of your business . You are just a laborer standing here with a stone . You don’t get to know what the process was like . ”

“What?”

Apprentice Elder Brother Xu was dumbfounded . He had thought Jiang Chen would be annoyed and ashamed . He had supposed the latter would be angry with him .

But he was totally shocked by Jiang Chen’s disdainful and contemptuous tone .

“Are you courting death?!”

This time it was Apprentice Elder Brother Xu, who flew into a rage . He ran towards Jiang Chen, intending to knock the latter down with the strength of state .

A beautiful figure showed up in front of Jiang Chen to stop him .

“Apprentice younger sister?”

Seeing the coldness in the eyes of the pretty woman in front of him, Apprentice Elder Brother Xu realized the two were not just friends .
