Chapter 80 Ch 80: Yin Energy

"Wait?" Alex exclaimed and said, "What are talking about? I never thought about Eloise in that way. We couldn't even be considered normal friends. She doesn't even know it was me in 'that' Alex's body. Also, I already have someone I love. There is no need for me to think about making Eloise my lover!"

"Oh yeah... You are right!" Atticus nodded his head with a knowing smile on his face.

"You... Whatever!" Alex opened his mouth to say something when he looked at the 'knowing smile' on Attikcus's face but didn't know what to say. Taking a deep breath, he asked, "You told me I've seen her once before. When? Why do I not remember? And, even though she has a different appearance now, if I did see her, I should have some impression of her, right? Tell me, when did I see her?"

Atticus shook his head, saying, "That's enough chit-chat. If you want to know more, you can come back after two years and take the second trial. At that time, I'll answer your question. For now, go back and cultivate well!"

Saying this, Atticus waved his hand and the next moment, Alex disappeared from his front. Atticus sighed and said, "I almost spill out beans. This is not the time yet, I can't tell him since he has become my disciple, his fate has connected with Eloise as well. As for that girl Asna, I can't calculate her fate for some reason. It seems there is more to her than meets the eyes."

"Anyway, Alex, you have to work harder, after all, you are the key to my freedom."

.....

At the foot of the mountain, a ripple in the air appeared along with spatial fluctuation, and the next moment, Alex appeared out of nowhere.

Alex looked at his surroundings and took a deep breath. Then he looked up and saw the words 'Stairway To Chaos' halfway to the mountain.

"I'll definitely come back two years later. Wait for me!" Muttering in a low voice, Alex left the place.

While coming here, he has encountered many dangers. He was not a fool enough to think he could leave the abyss without going through dangers. He knew sooner or later, he'll have to deal with dangers before he could return to the Dark Edge City and then return back to the Floating Cloud Academy.

However, Alex was now a lot stronger than when he entered the abyss. This boosted his confidence.

As expected, on his way back, he did encounter many dangers, however, he dealt with them without a doubt.

He didn't know how long he has been here, for he lost the count of the days soon after he entered the abyss. In the abyss, calculating the passage of time was almost impossible.

He didn't know how long it has taken him, however, finally he could see the sky clearly. He knew he could leave the abyss very soon.

Very soon, Alex saw many gray flowers in front of him. This flower attracted his attention because he could feel a special kind of energy from these flowers, and this feeling came from the chaotic energy flowing inside his body. It was as if the chaotic energy wanted to swallow the energy flowing inside this flower.

He lowered his body and plucked a gray flower.

With just a glance, an attribute panel appeared in front of him, completely revealing the origin of this flower.

[Name: Yin Silver Flower.

Detail: It can only grow in a place filled with dense Yin Energy. It can be used to refine pills to cure the dark symptoms of the Yang Body.]

"So it's a flower filed with Yin Energy. Yin and Yang, these two are different energy sources from Spirit Energy. They are also unique. It is no wonder the chaotic energy inside my body reacted like this. However, now is not the time to absorb the Yin Energy from these flowers. I'll just store them for now. There are so many of them here." Alex casually placed all the flowers in his spatial ring and started moving again.

However, in the next moment, Alex felt a change in Yin Energy in the surroundings.

This change in Yin Energy was not obvious. To ordinary people, it was only a gust of wind blowing past. However, Alex had Chaos Energy flowing inside his body now. This energy helped him successfully catch this change.

"Could it be that a demonic cultivator is cultivating in that direction?" Alex's eyes flashed with a light and immediately run in the direction from where he felt the change in the Yin Energy.

After walking for about five minutes, Alex stopped in front of a tall mountain.

The place where the Yin Energy was spreading out was hidden between two huge mountains. If he didn't go over the mountain top, it would be hard to find him.

The two sides of the mountain were vertical cliffs, and there was no way up.

"That person sure knows how to choose a place!" Alex muttered as he crushed a worm under his feet.

The shell of this bug had a layer of black patterns on it, and it faintly emitted a dim light.

This was a Gu worm refined by someone using an evil technique, specifically attacking the intruders.

Fortunately, Alex was cautious and he has the system. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to detect this kind of evil thing.

Instead of going back, Alex chose to come here and investigate because he was now already related to a demonic cultivator as he has already destroyed the plot of hundreds of years of a demonic cultivator.

So, he wanted to know more about demonic cultivators, for he could at least defend himself from the demonic cultivator who might come after him because he has destroyed that person's plan.

Gazing at this towering cliff, Alex suddenly stomped his foot on the ground.

"Bang!" A deep hole was actually formed on the ground by the shockwave.

Boom!

Alex's feet bounced up and down on the cliff, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed to the top of the mountain as if he was walking on flat ground.

Just as he reached the peak of the mountain, Alex discovered a cave.

At this point, waves of solid Yin Energy rushed toward him, and the temperature around him plummeted.

When Alex reached the entrance of the cave and he suddenly heard a sound coming from inside.

He didn't make a sound. He kept holding his breath as he quietly walked into the cave.

"Zhu Yun, you have been chasing me from the Middle State all the way to this Wasteland. Today, I finally have a chance to torture you!" A sinister voice rang out.

"Humph! You are merely in the Origin Sea Realm. Do you think you can kill me with just these great array formations?" A clear and cold female voice replied.

Alex stealthily walked behind a huge rock and concealed his aura to the extreme, secretly watching everything that was happening in front of him.

An old man dressed in a black robe was holding a pearl that emitted a bloody aura. And in front of the old man, stood a woman in white.

The white-clothed woman seemed to be trapped by a formation. A monstrous blood aura stood in front of her, preventing her from leaving.

"Hahaha, do you think I, your father, am unprepared? I've purposely laid out this grand blood energy formation for you. If you dared to break this formation, I'll kill those brats whom you wanted to save a few moments ago."

The black-robed old man's gaze became increasingly impudent as he sized the white-clothed female up and down: "Didn't your Profound Star Sect always take the lives of everyone under the heavens as its responsibility? Are you sure you want me to kill those kids? Hahahaha!"

The old man suddenly took out a black jar from his pocket and opened it. A pink aura landed on the woman in white.

The woman in white trembled as she looked at the old man in black with disbelief. "What is this?!"

"Haha, I spent a huge sum of money to buy the Charming Soft Powder." The black-robed old man suddenly revealed an evil smile, "You'll know the wonders of this medicine in a moment!"

Hiding behind the huge rock, Alex had already roughly guessed the current situation.

The black-robed elder should be a demonic cultivator. The woman in white is called Zhu Yun. She is the one who had been chasing and trying to kill the old man but they must have encountered some other people who were taken hostage by the old man. To save the hostages, Zhu Yun had fallen into the old man's trap.

Zhu Yun's aura was obviously much stronger than that of the demonic cultivator. However, she had been entrapped by the formation laid down by the old man and was unable to make a move for the time being.

"Hehe, this Charming Soft Powder is known for being able to control souls. It costed me a million spirit stones. Use it on a young miss of the Profound Star Sect like you, it's still worth it!"

The demonic cultivator arrogantly swept his hands over Zhu Yun's exquisite body, continuously spitting out pink mist from the jar in his hand.

"How dare you act so unbridled in front of me!"

Zhu Yun stared with her almond eyes as she suddenly slashed with the long sword in her hand.

"Chi!"

The long sword carried a white light. A stream of sword Qi was hovering around Zhu Yun, blowing towards the pink mist.

The Sword Energy was extremely sharp, causing the pink mist around it to immediately dispersed.

"Haha, do you think I spent so many spirit stones to buy ordinary medicinal powder?"

The old man wasn't in a hurry when he saw this scene.

Indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, the pink mist seemed to have spared Zhu Yun's sword Qi as it rushed toward her.

When the old man saw this scene, he laughed even more arrogantly, "This is a type of soul poison. No matter how strong your sword qi is, it won't affect this powder. It will slowly seep into your soul and destroy your consciousness. At that time, i'll control you and turn you into my puppet. Hehe, just be my slave obediently!"

The pink mist was about to fall onto Zhu Yun.

A hint of sternness flashed across Zhu Yun's eyes. Without any hesitation, she crushed the pendant in front of him.

Weng!

The broken pendant suddenly released a powerful white light.

A faint chanting sound could be heard, and a majestic and noble aura filled the entire cave.

"A Royal Rank Treasure!"

The old man exclaimed, then realizing something, he hastily summoned a large shield out of his spatial ring and placed it in front of him.
