Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Chen Gaoshang, Discovering a Narrow Escape!

"Is this the Abyss of Heaven?"

Chen Gaoshang naturally knew of the Abyss, though he had never been here before.

As an Inner Sect Disciple of a second-rate sect, he had no need to come to the Abyss.

No matter what heavenly treasures emerged within the Abyss, whoever obtained them, they would eventually flow into the hands of second-rate sects.

"It is quite mysterious," Chen Gaoshang observed as he drew near. He immediately noticed that the interior of the Abyss was shrouded in darkness. However, he wasn’t concerned; although he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and lacked Spiritual Sense, he could vaguely see the outlines within by sensing the fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

He did not descend the slope but directly employed a Magic Artifact resembling a Jade Ruyi to step into the void and drop down below.

After landing, he stowed the Jade Ruyi and walked further inside.

He didn’t even bother to lower his footsteps, allowing the dry leaves to rustle under his feet.

Simply because his attention was wholly captivated by the giant column of light from the Five Elements Formation in the distance.

"That pillar of light is indeed magical. Could it be the sign that the forbidding spells deep within the Abyss have been lifted, as mentioned by the sect?"

He came in search of Lu Chen, though he wasn’t sure he would be able to find him.

But now that he was here, he decided to think it through carefully.

"Since he has taken the little prince into the Abyss, he mustn’t have taken him too deep. Therefore, they should be around the periphery!"

As an Inner Sect Disciple, Chen Gaoshang obviously had his strengths, and with the additional information voluntarily provided by Xu Qianqian, he could piece together some clues.

Only, Xu Qianqian didn’t know that he would guess so accurately; it was nothing more than not knowing that there was a valley inside!

"Then I will search around here away from the pillar of light. I’ll give myself three days. If I can’t find him by then, I’ll have to go back and take Xu Qianqian and Qin Yaotiao back to the sect."

Chen Gaoshang knew what was more important. He perked up and became more alert to his surroundings.

Lu Chen had been waiting at the Thread of Sky all along, with the eyes of the jade fish talisman always glowing, but after a long wait, Li Qingyao had not arrived, and he was becoming impatient.

He was also worried about Mu Xiao’s safety.

"If my mother were to come here, she would surely enter the valley. There’s no point in standing guard here... It would be better to go back and see how Sister Mu is doing. It’s only a matter of a few breaths’ time difference, after all!"

Observing the tranquil Abyss, Lu Chen finally calmed down quite a bit. He tucked away the jade fish talisman and turned to enter the Thread of Sky.

But not long after,

Chen Gaoshang’s figure appeared behind an ancient tree.

"Eh, it seems like... there was a fluctuation of Spiritual Power here? It’s not the natural circulation of Spiritual Power. Could it be that the kid was just here?"

Chen Gaoshang immediately stopped in his tracks, carefully surveying the ground, but the dark Abyss made it difficult for him to see the traces.

So, he took out his Ruyi Magic Artifact and slightly activated his Spiritual Power. The Ruyi emitted a mutton-fat jade-like translucency!

With this faint light, Chen Gaoshang could clearly see his surroundings and soon discovered the crevice of the Thread of Sky during his meticulous search.

"Here!"

Chen Gaoshang was instantly delighted. He squeezed his head into the Thread of Sky and faintly saw some light.

"Clever boy; I wouldn’t have found this place if I hadn’t used the Magic Artifact. It’s so well hidden, I’m sure I can take them by surprise if I sneak in there!"

Worried that Lu Chen might detect his Magic Artifact, Chen Gaoshang quickly stowed the Ruyi away into his storage bag.

Then, he carefully squeezed into the Thread of Sky!

This time, he lowered his footsteps.

There were no leaves or twigs on the ground of the Thread of Sky, so no sound was made. Chen Gaoshang’s lips curled into a sinister smile as he moved towards the valley.

The closer he got, the more he could hear voices conversing.

"It seems that this valley hides many people, but... the fluctuation of Spiritual Power is not evident. Perhaps most of them are Martial Artists!"

He had heard from Xu Qianqian that the talented young Martial Artists who had disappeared into the Abyss with Qin Zhantian were most likely finding refuge within it.

And since Qin Zhantian was on good terms with these youngsters, they might well be here!

Chen Gaoshang connected all these pieces of information.

"Bringing a female disciple into their group would be a great merit!"

"And if I can bring some young Martial Artists back to the sect, for them to serve as menial workers for the sisters to partake in Dual Cultivation, it would add even more to my merit!"

"Heh heh, it seems that I won’t have to be the receiving end of Dual Cultivation as an Inner Sect Disciple anymore!"

For a moment, Chen Gaoshang’s eyes gleamed with joy, as if he had seen a clear path on his Immortal Path!
