Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Xuanji Sect, Sending Someone to Tianyuan!

With Chen Tanzhi in tow, Lu Chen could no longer travel as swiftly as he had before.

There were demon tigers lurking around, and since Lu Chen wanted to keep Xiao Hei as his trump card, he couldn’t hasten their journey.

After bidding farewell to the people in the valley, Lu Chen set out.

In the Tianyuan Abyss, there was no distinction between day and night, and time was not discernible; they traveled on.

Chen Tanzhi told Lu Chen that when they were previously on the outer edges, they had also seen many Martial Artists from the Qin nation waiting at the periphery. They decided to take a detour and enter the deeper parts of the Tianyuan Abyss from another entrance.

The journey was estimated to take around a day or so.

Fortunately, Lu Chen was familiar with that path; he had trodden it before when hunting demonic beasts within the Tianyuan Abyss.

Meanwhile, at Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, inside Xuanji Sect.

"You have all reached the Qi Refinement Realm and should go out to temper yourselves. Recently, the most suitable place is the Tianyuan Abyss! The internal prohibitions have weakened, and many heavenly treasures can be found!"

A young lady with an exceptional temperament spoke with great authority.

In front of her, a group of young female cultivators bowed, "Yes, Master!"

"Good, when you go to the Tianyuan Abyss, travel together. You’ll have plenty of time on the road, but don’t cause trouble unnecessarily! While walking in the mortal world, don’t get involved in mortal affairs to avoid breaking the rules of the Cultivation World! Do you all remember?"

"Disciple remembers!"

"Liu Ruyan, stay back; the rest of you may go and prepare. We leave in an hour!"

After the disciples had left, only Liu Ruyan, the female disciple referred to earlier, remained in the large hall.

"Master, do you have any further instructions?"

Liu Ruyan asked as she bowed.

"Nothing significant," the woman smiled and said, "But if you hear the name Lu Chen in the Tianyuan Abyss, spare no effort to kill him!"

"Master," Liu Ruyan trembled, "Isn’t that Junior Sister’s lover?"

"Indeed," the young lady suddenly turned serious, "Over a year ago, I was compelled to make a three-year pact, to let that youngster pass the Tianyuan Abyss and then come back to be granted an audience with Yaotiao! Now there seems to be some changes at the Tianyuan Abyss, and I’m truly worried that the boy will successfully return!"

"Master, I am ignorant, why would..."

"Hmph," the woman interrupted Liu Ruyan’s question with a cold snort, "When I’m handling matters, must I explain to you?"

"Disciple knows her wrongs!"

Liu Ruyan immediately knelt on the ground, shivering uncontrollably.

"As the Sect Leader of Xuanji Sect, would I personally deal with a mere mortal? However, within the Tianyuan Abyss, chaos prevails, and killings for treasure are common. If you handle it cleanly and Yaotiao becomes aware, disturbing her Dao heart, don’t blame me for being unkind!"

After a stern warning, Liu Ruyan dared not say more, but the woman then offered a sweetener, "However, if you handle this matter cleanly and efficiently, I shall reward you with a Foundation Building Pill!"

"Thank you, Master, thank you!"

Liu Ruyan hastily kowtowed, the sound thudding on the ground.

A Foundation Building Pill marked the true beginning of a cultivator stepping into the Cultivation World!

After consuming this pill, the chances of achieving Foundation Establishment would significantly increase!

This medicine, although with a single effect, was incredibly valuable, and even within a sect, one could hardly be rewarded with such a pill without major contributions!

"Enough, you can thank me after the deed is done."

The woman smiled slightly and waved Liu Ruyan out of the great hall.

An hour later, Liu Ruyan’s expression was serious as she looked around at her junior sisters.

"It’s getting late; it’s time to set off!"

After a moment, Liu Ruyan spoke, and the group of girls began channeling their Spiritual Power, stepping with a certain rhythm, and hastened into the depths of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain!

Only after running out of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and arriving at Ten Thousand Demon Town did they retract their Spiritual Power and walked on the streets like ordinary women.

The current Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was not as bustling as before due to the Polar Treasure Meeting, and Martial Artists had become more scarce.

Of course, this might also relate to the impending opening of the Tianyuan Abyss.

As far away as Zhou country on the other side of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, large groups of Martial Artists had arrived, let alone the closer Yuzhou City.

"Big Sister, may I go visit an old friend?"

Just after crossing the mountain pass, Qin Yaotiao suddenly spoke to Liu Ruyan, and the rest of the girls also turned their attention towards her direction.
