Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 505: Chapter 249: Murder Ghost (Part 2)

He turned around and tossed the ghost that Chu Xiu had just given him: ”This is the map, take it and get out of here.”

”Hehe, you’re such a good friend,” the Murder Ghost caught it, muttering, ”Unlike those bad people who bully me, I’ll repay you later.”

”No need for repayment, you can leave now, right?” Chen Lengqiang said.

The Murder Ghost nodded, looked around, and mumbled, ”It’s such a hassle to pave the way, it’s easier to follow the path others have opened.”

With that, he walked off in the direction Chu Xiu had left, under the astonished gaze of the four.

”He’s a madman, even with a map he’s going to provoke that senior?” Chen Lengqiang was incredulous.

”But with his strange talent, is it really impossible for him to kill a Heroic Spirit? Come to think of it, we haven’t heard from Senior Xia in a while...”

The four exchanged glances, each seeing the fear in the others’ eyes.

”Forget it, at least this lunatic isn’t focused on us right now.”

”Tianxie, take out a scan of the map.”

”Yes.”

Several projectors flew out from behind Shen Tianxie, and a map composed of Spiritual Light appeared before the four.

As powerful King Tier members, they naturally used various methods to take rubbings of the map as soon as they got it, delaying giving it just to prevent the other from taking an inch.

After all, which team that could survive long in the Abyss wasn’t a bit cunning?

...

”Senior, I’ll take care of the next part of the journey.”

Meanwhile, as the four were dealing with the Murder Ghost, Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin were flying along the passage.

Although this passage also had numerous collapses, overall, following the existing road was still much easier than breaking out a new one completely.

And according to the map, it would take at most another four or five hours to arrive.

Chu Xiu did not refuse Jiang Miaoyin’s suggestion, he just nodded slightly to indicate his agreement.

Jiang Miaoyin clasped her hand in the void, and a few tiny particles appeared in her palm. With a toss, those particles grew wildly in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, turned into eight Netherworld steeds engulfed in jet-black flames!

They neighed with heads held high, hooves stepping on air, kicking up gusts of black flame whirlwinds. Jiang Miaoyin gestured, summoning eight thick chains out of nowhere. One end wrapped tightly around the necks of the Netherworld horses, the other slithered forward like a spirit snake, finally connecting firmly to Jiang Miaoyin’s hand.

At the same time, a luxurious carriage rapidly formed at an incredible speed beside Jiang Miaoyin and Chu Xiu.

”Ah ha ha, giddy up!”

When the carriage was completely formed, Jiang Miaoyin let out an excited shout, raising the chains to whip the Netherworld horses. Instantly, the eight Netherworld steeds roared, transforming into eight ghostly shadows, charging forward!

Chu Xiu felt a massive acceleration hit him; almost the moment they started, the carriage broke the sound barrier and continued to speed up!

”What astonishing skill, truly the strongest talent of the Jiang Family’s younger generation.”

Chu Xiu nodded silently.

The speed of this carriage was already faster than his Garuda’s Wings, and much quicker too!

He estimated that only when Garuda’s Wings reached King Tier could they slightly surpass this.

”I really need to quickly refine a King Tier Flying Corpse.”

Otherwise, his mobility would be a huge weakness, especially with the Blood Demon Incarnation and Ghostly Legion both severely damaged now.

Previously, he relied on the Blood Demon Incarnation for close combat and the Ghostly Legion for control; naturally, mobility wasn’t something he focused on. But now, needing to utilize more of his corporeal power, a King Tier Flying Corpse was indispensable.

But unfortunately, suitable corpses were hard to come by.

”Senior Qin, where should we start when we reach the city later?”

As Chu Xiu pondered, Jiang Miaoyin’s voice sounded beside him.

Chu Xiu glanced at her, calmly saying, ”We agreed beforehand, once we reach the city, we go our separate ways. Finding a place where Yin Qi gathers is up to one’s own skills.”

”Senior Qin, you’re so heartless. I gave you the expensive artifact bought by my clan’s elders, and yet you’re going to leave me like this?”

Jiang Miaoyin said coquettishly, though her voice sounded aggrieved, her gaze towards Chu Xiu was not one of blame but of alluring charm.

Chu Xiu remained unmoved, ”You don’t have to act like this; it just makes people dislike you. We’ll proceed as agreed earlier. If you have any suggestions, just say them.”

At the words ”makes people dislike you,” Jiang Miaoyin couldn’t help but roll her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood, sighing, ”Senior, you’re really not romantic. What if I said I have a way to find the Soul Hall?”

”Oh?”

Hearing this, Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow.

In preparation for coming here, Chu Xiu had reviewed the current intelligence collected by the government regarding the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace world.

The Exorcist Civilization is a theocratic civilization where the ruling class is divided into the administrative Council and the Soul Hall responsible for training Exorcists.

So theoretically, if one wanted to find information on places where Yin Qi converges, each city’s Soul Hall station would undoubtedly be the best choice.

But he didn’t care much, only saying blandly, ”What’s so difficult about that? Where the Soul Hall is, is naturally unique.”

Jiang Miaoyin gave a sly smile and said no more, instead steering the conversation towards social gossip among the Awakened.

Chu Xiu naturally wasn’t very interested, replying intermittently, but he had to admit that she was indeed very beautiful, and with her gift of gab, the conversation felt like listening to a storyteller. After chatting for a while, Chu Xiu felt a strange sense of closeness towards her, and also gleaned some upper-class anecdotes.
