Chapter 348 - Jian Xing’er

The talisman in Liu Wuxie’s hand gradually flew into the sky after being infused with divine power. He slowly approached because the abyssal devils would be alerted and evade it in advance if he was too far away.

The woman’s condition was dire, with her injuries worsening by the second.

When Liu Wuxie was ten meters away from the abyssal devils, the talisman hovering in the air flew out.

The thirteen abyssal devils’ attention was focused entirely on the woman, and they were oblivious to his presence.

When the talisman flew out, Liu Wuxie swung the Heretic Blade down to grab the woman’s hand and pull her out of the battle.

Shortly after, a loud explosion echoed in the underground world, causing rocks to fall. The abyssal devils were caught off guard and were sent flying away. Five abyssal devils stood the closest to the talisman and were covered in blood from the explosion.

Three abyssal devils had their arms blown off and screamed in pain. Only those who stood further away remained mildly or unaffected by the explosion.

“Damn it! There’s another human!” The less injured abyssal devils chased Liu Wuxie.

After Liu Wuxie grabbed the woman, he performed the Nine Heavenly Crane Dance to traverse the underground world, evading the pursuing abyssal devils. In terms of speed, the abyssal devils were no match for him.

An hour later, after Liu Wuxie finally shook off the abyssal devils, he entered a cave and inserted array flags in the surroundings to prevent anyone from intruding.

The woman was heavily injured, and she quickly sat down to heal.

"Take this. It can help neutralize the poison in your body," Liu Wuxie said, offering the woman an Antidote Pill. He had noticed her wounds beginning to rot, knowing that timely treatment was crucial to preserving her foundation.

“Thank you!” The woman raised her head to look at Liu Wuxie with a hint of curiosity. When Liu Wuxie had left the auction house, she had stayed until the auction ended.

“You saved me!” The woman smiled bitterly. She had thought that Hou Chi would’ve surely killed Liu Wuxie and was surprised to see him again in the Abyssal Underground World.

"I should have died in Fan City in your eyes," Liu Wuxie said in a self-deprecating tone. It was both surprising and miraculous that he had managed to leave Fan City at all.

"Why did you come to the Abyssal Underground World?" The woman swallowed the Antidote Pill, bringing her injuries under control. She needed only a few hours of rest to fully recover.

“Mission!” Liu Wuxie didn’t hide it. Most people who came to the Abyssal Underground World did it for missions because the treasures here were useless to humans.

“Which sect are you from?” the woman asked.

Liu Wuxie had changed his clothes when he had left the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, which is why the woman couldn’t recognize his sect.

“The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!” Liu Wuxie said and sat three meters away from the woman. After all, they had no significant ties. He had saved her as a gesture of gratitude for the reminders she had given him back in the auction house, and now they were even.

“You’re also a disciple from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?” The woman’s eyes lit up upon hearing what Liu Wuxie said, and her tone became more amicable.

“You’re also a Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s disciple?” Liu Wuxie asked, looking at the woman.

Demonic Dragons were powerful, and snatching their eggs would result in their endless pursuit. Not to mention capturing a Profound Yin Butterfly because it could only be found in the central region.

Liu Wuxie merely smiled upon hearing that because his strength couldn’t be gauged normally. He knew that Jian Xing’er’s mission would be more difficult as an inner disciple, and he asked, “Senior sister, what’s your mission?”

“My mission is to kill a Frost Demon Ape,” Jian Xing’er replied. The Frost Demon Ape was powerful and hostile against humans. The ice they breathed out could even freeze an expert in the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

“Have you found any clues on your mission?” The Frost Demon Apes were cunning and had no fixed location. It was hard to find their whereabouts, and one could only rely on luck.

“Not yet, and I can only rely on my luck. Let’s focus on your missions first.” Jian Xing’er said. Her mission was optional because she wouldn’t lose anything even if she couldn’t complete it.

With the help of an expert in the Heavenly Dipper Realm, Liu Wuxie’s mission became smoother. They ran into several fifth-grade abyssal devils along the way, and they were all killed to complete the first mission.

“Junior brother, I know where the Demon Flame Grass can be found. Let me bring you there!” With Jian Xing’er leading the way, it saved Liu Wuxie a lot of time.

They traveled swiftly; three days had passed since Liu Wuxie had entered the underground world.

"This is the place!" The duo arrived at a small canyon teeming with abyssal devils, particularly evident from the presence of traces of sixth-grade ones. Harvesting the Demon Flame Grass here wouldn't be straightforward.

“So many abyssal devils!” Liu Wuxie said with a grave expression. This meant it wouldn’t be easy to retrieve the Demon Flame Grass.

“Junior brother, I’ll lure the abyssal devils away while you harvest the Demon Flame Grass.” The two could only work together if they wanted to complete this mission.

“I’ll do it while you harvest instead. We’ll meet over there in two hours!” Liu Wuxie decided to take on the job of luring the abyssal devils away instead.

“No! The abyssal devils are powerful and will be dangerous for you.” Jian Xing’er rejected it because the task of harvesting a Demon Flame Grass was safer.

“I know you mean it out of goodwill, but please do as I say,” Liu Wuxie said and vanished, reappearing before the canyon. With a slight provocation, over a hundred abyssal devils turned to look at him.

The abyssal devils were furious after being provoked by a human and charged at Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie glanced at Jian Xing’er before performing the Seven Dipper Steps, maintaining a decent speed to ensure the abyssal devils couldn’t catch up.

In the blink of an eye, all the abyssal devils in the canyon were lured away as Jian Xing’er swiftly entered the canyon.

It was a spectacular scene to see hundreds of abyssal devils chasing after a human, and tremors could be felt coming from the ground.

The abyssal devils started to encircle Liu Wuxie, wanting to prevent him from running.

After Jian Xian’er obtained the Demon Flame Grass and left the canyon, Liu Wuxie was already a thousand meters away.

“Let’s hope Junior Brother will be fine!” Jian Xian’er looked worried and swiftly headed to the meeting location.

On the other hand, Liu Wuxie drew the Heretic Blade and cut down the abyssal devils, blocking his way to tear open a hole in the encirclement.
