Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 239: Chapter 240: Black Abyss City

”As long as I pass through this city, I can reach Abyssal Valley!”

A figure in a black cloak stood on top of a mountain, looking far into the distance at the massive black city on the horizon. Beneath the cloak, half of a delicate face was exposed, revealing none other than Ye Qingchen, who had once killed his way through Nine Dragon Mountain.

At this moment.

Ye Qingchen was gazing far ahead at ’Black Abyss City’!

It was an incredibly grand and towering city, which was dozens of times larger than Xingyue City, like a prehistoric beast lying on the plain, bringing a strong visual impact.

After leaving Nine Dragon Mountain.

He had fought his way through, crossing Yiqing Mountain, Dingyuan River... not knowing how many assassins and forces he had eliminated, all to arrive here.

And ’Black Abyss City’.

Was the last city on the way to Abyssal Valley.

However.

Fortunately, this Black Abyss City was located on the border between Tongxuan Continent and Taixu Continent. The control of the Spirit Coffin Sect was not that strong here.

But unfortunately, many strong individuals from Taixu Continent also gathered in Black Abyss City, all attracted by the bounty of the Spirit Coffin Sect.

”First enter Black Abyss City, then find a way to charge through!”

Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes.

Even from dozens of miles away, he could clearly see the massive canyon behind Black Abyss City, which seemed to suddenly rise above the vast plain...

A terrifying gale perpetually shrouded the sky above the canyon.

”Qing’er, hold on! Brother is coming to save you...”

Ye Qingchen clenched his fists.

Initially.

Ye Qingchen thought that entering Black Abyss City would be fraught with checkpoints set by the Spirit Coffin Sect’s Slaughter Hall, but what surprised him was that the gates of Black Abyss City were wide open, without even a single guard in sight.

He easily stepped into Black Abyss City.

”Perhaps, this is the reason...”

Ye Qingchen’s gaze swept across the city wall.

The mottled city wall was plastered with wanted posters, some of these fugitives were from Cyan Continent, some from Tongxuan Continent, and some from Taixu Continent...

Many of the wanted posters had already faded.

But the most recent and extensive batch of wanted posters was of himself.

A few passersby were outside the city wall, commenting on the wanted posters.

”Is it true? As long as we kill this Ye Qingchen, we can become an honorary elder of the Spirit Coffin Sect and get awarded three Earth Grade Top Grade Techniques?” A scrawny man looked at the reward on the wanted poster, his eyes filled with undisguised greed.

”If you want to die, go ahead and try. Although this brat is only at the Profound Pill Second Heaven, he’s killed Xu Shanqiao, Lin Kuanghu... and wiped out half of the Slaughter Hall. The Heaven and Earth Net of Nine Dragon Mountain was torn apart by him overnight!”

The leader, who seemed to be in charge, snorted coldly and said, ”Moreover, someone who can make it onto the wanted list, how could we possibly provoke?”

The scrawny man instantly drew a sharp breath, shaking his head repeatedly, sheepishly saying, ”I was just talking casually, none of these wanted people on the wall are someone we can afford to offend.”

”What’s going on with these wanted posters?”

Just then.

A voice suddenly interjected from behind, startling everyone, who hurriedly turned to look, only to find a figure shrouded in a cloak had unknowingly appeared behind them.

The scrawny man was about to lose his temper, but the leader quickly pulled him back, respectfully answering, ”Reporting, sir, these are all wanted criminals in Black Abyss City.”

”Are they all hiding in Black Abyss City?” Ye Qingchen raised his brows.

”Yes!” The leader nodded, ”Due to Black Abyss City’s location between the two continents, it’s extremely chaotic inside, and no other factions can intervene here. So Black Abyss City has become a haven for these fugitives...”

”What’s your name?”

Ye Qingchen asked.

”My name is Ma Jiu.” The leader was stunned and quickly answered.

”I need all the information on Black Abyss City and Abyssal Valley, deliver it to me within half a day, and consider this the payment!” Ye Qingchen flicked a finger, and an object landed in front of Ma Jiu, ”Once you have the information, find me at the largest inn in Black Abyss City!”

”This is a pill...”

Ma Jiu picked it up and found it was an aromatic pill, and he could feel its rich spiritual energy in his hands.

But when he looked up again, Ye Qingchen had already vanished.

”Boss, we’re rich! This is at least a supreme-grade Profound level pill!” The scrawny man’s eyes gleamed with greed as he stared at the pill. ”This guy is really generous, casually handing out such high-grade pills... he’s definitely a fat sheep!”

Smack!

As soon as he spoke, the scrawny man received a slap from Ma Jiu.

”Fool, don’t make a stupid mistake!” Ma Jiu scolded fiercely, ”That sir is full of killing intent and is definitely not someone ordinary, try anything funny and you’ll die without a complete corpse!”

”Is it really that terrifying?” The scrawny man asked in doubt.

”That sir probably came through a path of slaughter, with a faint bloody smell about him!” Thinking back to the scene of the man silently appearing behind him, Ma Jiu couldn’t help swallowing. ”If I’m not mistaken, he might be one of the fugitives on the wall!”

Hissing sounds filled the air.

Especially the scrawny man, who broke out in a cold sweat; if not for Ma Jiu pulling him back earlier, he might have cursed out loud, and now thinking back, he realized he had been moments away from his own grave.

”Boss, what should we do next?” The scrawny man hurriedly asked.

”Quickly gather all the information on Black Abyss City and Abyssal Valley...”

Ma Jiu urged.

Entering the city, Ye Qingchen walked with his hands clasped behind his back.

He knew too little about Black Abyss City, especially Abyssal Valley. If he rushed in without knowing anything, not only would he fail to save Ye Qing, but he might also trap himself!

Therefore.

He chose Ma Jiu and his group, who seemed like local bullies.

”As expected of Black Abyss City!”

He spread his senses.

Ye Qingchen calmly sensed his surroundings, feeling that although the people in the city might not have high cultivation, a faint smell of blood lingered around them.

Evidently, these were people who lived by the edge of their blades.

For such a city to become a refuge for fugitives was no surprise to Ye Qingchen at all.

”No sign of the Slaughter Hall’s people...”

”Are they hiding in the dark? Or are they plotting something...”

Ye Qingchen pondered secretly.

Suddenly.

His eyelids twitched as he noticed several figures following him from a distance.

Ye Qingchen moved without changing his expression and turned into a corner.

Soon after stepping into the corner.

Several figures appeared behind Ye Qingchen, blocking his retreat.

Swish!

Furthermore.

All around him, figures flickered on the high walls.

In an instant, Ye Qingchen was surrounded on all sides.
