I Have a Golden Crow

This is Du Yu’s first time entering the battlefield with his master, and as soon as he entered, Master Qing showed Du Yu a secret of the South Suburbs Bottomless.

Du Yu, holding a Ghost Firefly Torch, was still thinking about walking through the maze, but Yang Qingqing went to the right side of the entrance Stone Gate and knocked on the side wall.

”Dong~dudong~dududong~”

With a special rhythm of knocking, a section of the heavy stone wall suddenly sank!

”Crunch!” At the sound, Du Yu was dumbfounded.

He’s walked past here countless times and never thought there could be a hidden door to the right of the entrance?

The indented stone wall slowly slid back, eventually becoming a vestibule partition.

”Let’s go.” Yang Qingqing stepped forward, the sound of her high heels echoing in the corridor.

Du Yu raised the Ghost Firefly Torch and followed curiously, examining the tunnel. The place was empty, apparently, the mechanism door was controlled externally.

This is a downward sloping tunnel, about 5 meters wide.

When inside, Du Yu’s torch and headlamp became pointless because a row of wall lamps hung on both sides, emitting a dim yellow light until the unseen end of the tunnel.

”Keep up.”

”Oh oh.” responded Du Yu, looking at the graceful silhouette of the woman under the light, he hurried to follow, ”What’s at the end of this path?”

”Bottomless layer 10.”

Du Yu: ”The real battlefield?”

”No, the real battlefield is below layer 20.” Yang Qingqing softly explained, ”If a tunnel directly leads to the frontline battlefield, demon beasts might accidentally enter and charge straight to the entrance of layer one.”

Du Yu nodded: ”True.”

Yang Qingqing: ”The troops have quite thoroughly developed the South Suburbs Bottomless, there are many similar hidden tunnels within this Bottomless Pit, leading to different layers and locations.

Some tunnels are for soldiers to hide within, rescuing practitioners in time.

Some tunnels are for soldiers to quickly reach the battlefield to reinforce and aid.

Most tunnels are for sorting demon beasts.”

Du Yu: ”Sorting demon beasts?”

Yang Qingqing smiled and glanced at Du Yu: ”Do you think why the first few layers of Bottomless only have Mortal Level and Earth Level demon beasts?”

”Oh.” Du Yu suddenly understood, ”Right, when I participated in activities here, the types of demon beasts were also very single, all were Water Charm Illusion Spirits.”

Yang Qingqing: ”The first ten layers of the open Bottomless Pit, the demon beasts inside are filtered by the troops before presenting them to society’s practitioners.

The soldiers bring in large numbers of demon beasts from the battlefield below, sorting and screening layer by layer, sending suitable beasts to the appropriate layers.

It’s a pity, the soldiers sacrifice so much to provide a real, suitable battlefield environment for society’s Demon Tamers, yet still not many people come here.”

Du Yu nodded silently, including the tasks on the blackboard of Bottomless Bookstore, also attracting society’s Demon Tamers to the battlefield, but with little effect.

Society today has developed into prosperity and vibrancy, a dazzling array of nightlife.

Demon Tamers can live well no matter which path they choose, who has time to come to such an infernal battlefield?

However, while some enjoy comfort on the surface, indulging in excess, inevitably, there is another group charging fiercely underground, using flesh and blood to block the abyssal gates of the Bottomless Pit.

Master and disciple passed through countless Stone Gates, finally turning and descending to layer 10 underground.

This is Du Yu’s first time reaching the tenth layer, saying he’s not nervous would be a lie.

It’s just that the graceful figure beside him gave him endless security.

To not exaggerate, from the moment he stepped out of the hidden path and entered the tenth layer, Du Yu’s life was already entrusted to Yang Qingqing.

”Hiss...”

As the stone gate of the hidden path behind them slowly closed, a distant hiss echoed, Du Yu’s body tensed, holding his torch, he aimed the light at the right corridor.

”Don’t be afraid.” Yang Qingqing placed a hand on Du Yu’s shoulder, her words gentle, soothing his fearful heart, ”This isn’t a region you should be in.

It’s all on me.”

Du Yu turned his head, seeing the delicate, fair face of Master Qing under the firelight, with that faint smile, it was calming no matter how you looked.

Little Fen Yang: ”She’s so gentle~”

Du Yu: ”...”

”Sidle!” Suddenly, a horse’s neigh rang out, at the end of the right corridor, a Wind Trace Steed with eyes glowing red, charged recklessly, rushing fast!

There wasn’t even the sound of hooves, it entered the master and disciple’s view, its speed was alarming!

”Hoo~”

You could see Yang Qingqing casually waving her hand, a Flame Flower Vine unexpectedly throwing out from her palm!

With a crisp ”snap”, the Wind Trace Steed charging wildly was whipped against the wall by Yang Qingqing!

”Crunch!”

”Hiss!!!” The sound of the Demon Breath Battle Robe shattering and the Wind Trace Steed’s painful cry overlapped together.

The ”Ghost Horse” composed of virtual lines shattered completely, its mournful scream stopped abruptly!

Dense Demon Breath spread out, stirring Yang Qingqing’s skirt hems, fluttering gently.

A Demon Crystal fell to the ground, making a slight sound.

Du Yu was completely dumbfounded.

Just one hit!

Everything about the Wind Trace Steed, from its Battle Robe to its life, was all shattered by Yang Qingqing!

Without even a chance to struggle.

Yang Qingqing’s hand naturally lowered, the Flame Flower Vine resembling a long flaming whip, slowly retracting, merging into her palm: ”Pick it up.”

”Ah.”

”Go pick up the Demon Crystal.”

”Oh oh...” Du Yu quickly stepped forward, picking up the Demon Crystal as large as a baseball.

Judging from the Demon Crystal’s specifications, the Wind Trace Steed must at least be at Celestial Peak level, right?

Seeing her disciple pick up the Demon Crystal, Yang Qingqing turned and walked to the left.

Watching Master Qing’s back, Du Yu couldn’t help but grin, following the rhythmic sound of high heels as he continued onward with his head down.

Regarding the power of Master Qing, Du Yu only had a vague concept. He just knew that Yang Qingqing could crush him with one hand.

However, when a Celestial Peak level Demon Beast attacked, it couldn’t last even a round under Master Qing’s hand...

Du Yu truly realized just how dangerous this elegant and serene Immortal Master at home was!

Master Qing,

I admit I spoke loudly to you before...

There are many people outside, why don’t I just kneel for you now?

At the same time, Du Yu also deeply understood why Little Fen Yang was so cautious, never revealing itself to others.

It’s not that Master Qing is an enemy, but rather refers to the other powerful greats in the world!

Once Little Fen Yang is discovered, such an Ancient Golden Crow’s Demon Soul would surely attract the covetous attention of those with ulterior motives.

In that case, Du Yu might not even know how he died.

”In the future, you will be stronger than me,” came the woman’s voice from ahead.

Du Yu snapped back to reality and responded, ”The disciple will work hard.”

”Heh~” Yang Qingqing slightly turned her head for a glance at Du Yu, ”You’ve become much more courteous.”

Suddenly, Du Yu blushed red and defensively said, ”What... what do you mean, I’ve always respected Master Qing.”

Hearing this, Yang Qingqing nodded in agreement. She lifted a hand and knocked on the wall again.

”Knock~knock knock~knock knock knock~”

It was another 1-2-3 type of coded knock, and a few seconds later, the plain wall recessed again.

Du Yu asked softly, ”What’s at the end of this tunnel?”

”The 15th underground layer.”

The 15th layer, which is not open to the public Demon Tamers, is where practical combat training for the Demon Spirit Squad takes place.

Yang Qingqing: ”After reaching the 15th layer, we need to find another tunnel to enter the 20th underground layer.”

Du Yu: ”Into the real battlefield?”

”Yes, I will show you the real battlefield. The environment there should be different from what you imagine.” Yang Qingqing stepped inside.

In the tunnel, the cold aura reacted very quickly, scattering around, creating a peculiar sight.

As Du Yu entered, the surrounding cold aura retreated even further.

From the perspective of a Spirit, Du Yu was slightly ahead of Yang Qingqing, with more intense Spiritual Qi on him.

”The battlefield environment is different? Isn’t it like what I saw in the Shadow Gu Tower?” Du Yu asked curiously.

Yang Qingqing nodded gently: ”The pit you reached in Shadow Gu Tower was guarded.”

”Yes, those black-robed people... Divine Wood Pavilion! Guo Yueyao.”

Guo Yueyao was the original owner of the Shadow Gu Tower, also the prototype of the black mist woman’s image.

As for the Red Mist Woman from Heart Slaying Garden, her identity has also been determined. She has a rare compound surname: Nangong Ling.

While walking, Yang Qingqing spoke: ”What you saw at the bottom of Shadow Gu Tower was the Gathering of Spiritual Qi forming a carpet, sealed within the Bottomless Gate.”

Bottomless Gate!

Du Yu nodded. The black-robed people of Divine Wood Pavilion have always been assisting Twin Trees in gathering Spiritual Qi to jointly seal the Underground Teleportation Gate.

Yang Qingqing: ”But the Bottomless Gate here was not sealed with Spiritual Qi.”

Du Yu: ”So?”

”So creatures from the Celestial Treasure Race in another world can pour continuously through the gate from underground.

Similarly, demonic plants from another world can invade our world as well.”

Du Yu hesitated slightly: ”Demonic plants from another world...?”

Yang Qingqing’s face turned serious: ”For your understanding, let’s call them demonic plants for now. And these demonic plants can rival the Twin Trees.”

”This...”

Since Du Yu learned that each Twin Tree is a branch of the Great Xia Kunlun Divine Tree, he could no longer view Twin Trees with ordinary eyes.

Perhaps in the Demon Spirit Atlas, a Twin Tree is categorized as a Heavenly Level, Spirit Level, but such an evaluation is unreliable.

Because every Twin Tree has the Kunlun Divine Tree as its ”main trunk,” its power might be infinitely elevated?

In seeing through appearances to the essence, it wouldn’t be a demonic plant emerging from the underground that can contend with a single Twin Tree, but one that can contend with the Great Xia Kunlun Divine Tree!

Yang Qingqing: ”To this day, no one knows what the world behind the underground gate is like.”

Indeed.

Even the Shadow Gu Tower doesn’t know the appearance of the underground world. Du Yu once cooperated in an investigation, queried related information about Shadow Gu Tower, but received no responses.

This is also why, when Du Yu carried the Red Mist Woman through the underground gate inside the tower, the Shadow Gu Tower switched the scene again.

Because the Shadow Gu Tower has no idea what the world behind the gate looks like!

Yang Qingqing: ”Regarding the Bottomless Gate, perhaps someone has entered, but no one has ever returned.

Cold aura might be a product of the underground world.

Alternatively, the cold aura might be released by that demonic plant. Perhaps in another world, that plant holds a status similar to the Twin Trees in our world.”

Listening to this, Du Yu’s heart trembled.

Tree?

Also a tree! And a tree from another world that releases cold aura!?

Is it possible that...

Back then, didn’t Little Fen Yang fight with this tree?
