Chapter 350 – Where Su Chen Goes
Chapter 350 – Where Su Dust Goes
“To change!”
Fearful of Xu Chuniang’s backtracking, Kong Huan responded and then busily snatched the talismanic treasure in front of him, handing out his own one in the process.
His round face was filled with a smile, “Senior Sister Xu, this talisman treasure I chose is by no means inferior to the one you chose, just take a look.”
Xu Chuniang knew that what he said was not false, just now when she was in the storehouse, although it was just a quick glance, she also sensed the strong aura on the talisman treasure that Kong Huan had chosen.
This light silver colored talisman treasure was only stronger and not weaker than the one she had chosen that possessed the aura of the Sword Dao.
She received the talisman treasure and waved it in front of Kong Huan.
“I’m afraid that the one who refined this talisman treasure is a mid YuanYing cultivator, so I’m taking advantage of it.”
Kong Huan waved his hand, cherishing and putting away the exchanged talisman treasure, “To be able to obtain the YuanYing Elder’s sword stance, I’m not at a disadvantage.”
The sword dao attainments of a YuanYing True Lord were naturally much stronger than a small cultivator like him who hadn’t long established his foundation.
If one was lucky enough to be able to comprehend one or two tenths of it, it would be even more beneficial.
Both of them were quite satisfied with this deal, and Kong Huan was even more fortunate.
Fortunately, Zhuge senior brother did not come today, otherwise this talisman treasure, may not be able to fall into his hands smoothly.
Seeing that Xuanjian Peak was almost there, he slowed down his speed, “When is Senior Sister Xu free, let’s go and explore that cave together?”
“Next month.”
Xu Chuniang preferred to go out and experience than to be in the sect and cultivate the fields with hard work.
Although it was unavoidable to encounter danger, this was the truer cultivation world, and being cooped up in the sect all year round was not conducive to cultivation.
“That’s fine, I’ll talk to Senior Brother Zhuge, and if he doesn’t object, we’ll settle it like this first. If there are any changes, then we’ll contact again with a sound transmission note.”
Kong Huan waved his hand and went far away in the direction of Xuan Jian Peak.
Xu Chuniang stopped in place to watch her walk away, and suddenly remembered that there was once a fellow Daoist who had also said that he wanted to travel with her to the Black Moon Demon Cave to train together.
Now that ten years have passed, Su Chen should have long since entered the inner sect.
I don’t know if he went to Rune Peak after entering the inner sect?
With a movement in her heart, she flipped out a slightly old sound transmission note and sent divine thoughts into it.
However, after a long time, no movement came from the note.
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly and simply sent her sword directly towards the Outer Sect Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
After an outer sect disciple built their foundation, there would be relevant records left behind, so she only needed to check.
With Xu Chuniang’s current cultivation and reputation, almost the instant she stepped into the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and voiced her needs, someone handed over a thin booklet.
“Back to Senior Uncle Xu, in the past hundred years, the whereabouts of all the disciples of the Outer Sect who have successfully built their foundations are all recorded here.”
Xu Chuniang took the booklet and flipped through it, and it didn’t take long before she saw her name on it.
Immediately after her, there were two other familiar names.
Gan Yiqiu and Song Wen’an.
She thought back, these were the ones who had participated in the same Outer Sect Competition as her and won.
Back then, there were a total of ten people who had won the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the ones who succeeded in establishing the foundation were only a mere three, including her.
The other seven people failed in their attempts to build the foundation, and even if they were lucky enough not to die, I’m afraid it would be difficult for them to make any progress.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance and was slightly surprised to see that Gan Yiqiu had entered the Imperial Beast Peak.
She had thought that someone as warlike as him would choose Xuan Sword Peak.
Song Wen’an, on the other hand, unsurprisingly entered the Thousand Machine Peak, only that the time he built his foundation was a year later than her, and thus he also entered the Inner Sect a year later.
Over the years, she had been living simply, not going out at leisure, so it was because of this reason that she had not seen Song Wen’an. Xu Chuniang turned the page, her gaze scrutinizing a bit more.
However, until she turned the last page, she was unable to see that familiar name.
Su Chen hadn’t taken part in the Outer Sect Competition to get the Foundation Establishment Pill until now? It wouldn’t be so.
She put down the booklet and looked at the respectful looking steward and inquired without leaving any traces.
The steward heard the name “Su dust”, thought for a long time, finally from the long ago memory to find out about this person’s deeds.
“This Senior Brother Su, he died ten years ago.”
Xu Chuniang’s eyebrows jumped, “Died?”
The steward nodded, he was quite impressed by this matter due to the change in the Devil’s Cave that year.
“That year, I don’t know what kind of change happened in the Devil Cave, there were several times more devils inside than usual, Su Chen entered the Devil Cave during that period of time, and has not been heard from since.”
The Black Moon Demon Cave was infested with demons and was very dangerous for Qi Practicing Stage cultivators.
If an outer disciple entered it and didn’t come out for more than three months, there was a 90% chance that something had happened.
The steward carefully glanced at Xu Chuniang’s expression, “The Black Moon Demon Cave is treacherous, and there are not a few disciples like Su Chuan, who went in and never came out again.”
Xu Chuniang left the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs and rode her sword in the direction of the Black Moon Demon Cave.
There was no need for the Steward to lie about this kind of thing, but she didn’t believe that Su Chen had died just like that.
She had a gut feeling that Su Chen was still alive.
But it was also a fact that someone had watched him enter the Black Moon Demon Cave and never come out again.
After thinking about it, Xu Chuniang planned to go to the Devil’s Cave to find out for herself.
The Black Moon Demon Cave was a place for outer disciples to practice, and it was somewhat dangerous for Qi Practicing Stage cultivators.
However, she was already in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and had the Heavenly Flame that specialized in evils, so she was not afraid of the Foundation Establishment stage demons.
Xu Chuniang made up her mind, so she didn’t alert anyone and quietly entered the Black Moon Demon Cave.
The devils in the Devil’s Cave had no spiritual intelligence, but the instinct to sense crisis was still there, and after smelling the immensely strong aura of the Foundation Cultivator, they avoided it from afar.
Xu Chuniang was here to explore the Devil’s Cave, these devils were so insightful, she was happy to save her time, all the way down unhindered, and soon entered the depths of the Devil’s Cave.
The further down they went, the more the number of demons grew, and their cultivation level had also risen from the middle stage of Qi cultivation, to the late stage of Qi cultivation.
These late stage Qi cultivation demons were still very weak existences to Xu Chuniang.
Occasionally, there were a few that couldn’t dodge enough to get in front of her, and she only released a Thunder Lightning Technique, destroying them with a snap of her fingers.
After traveling all the way down for ten days, Xu Chuniang finally arrived at the deepest part of the Devil’s Cave.
Everywhere here was a thick and unbreakable demonic gas, and from time to time, there were new demonic creatures that were born from the demonic gas.
Xu Chuniang’s gaze fell towards the center, where her divine sense sensed that there was a fourth-grade sealing array.
Silks of demonic qi leaked out from the formation.
All the demonic creatures in the Black Moon Demon Cave were derived from these demonic qi.
Xu Chuniang’s face revealed a hint of a strange color, even the fourth level grand formation was unable to completely seal the demonic qi, so one could imagine how astonishing the demonic creatures sealed in the formation were.
Could Su Chen’s disappearance be related to this formation?
After thinking for a moment, Xu Chuniang overturned this possibility.
The solidity of this Sealing Formation was even better than the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Locking Formation, and the formation was perfect, without the slightest trace of destruction.
She withdrew her gaze, her divine sense probing the rest of the area, refusing to miss a single piece of earth or stone.
