Chapter 346 Great Demon Emperor Jiang
Following this fair-skinned man for a while.
Shi Nian slightly raised his eyebrows and pulled out the map to have a look.
The direction this man was heading became increasingly off course, seemingly heading towards...
The Crystal Stone Mine?
It's possible he has another destination in mind.
Shi Nian did not rush to conclude but patiently continued to follow.
However.
The more he advanced, the more obvious the destination became.
By the third day, the group had reached the edge of the Crystal Stone Mine.
Lin Lei and the little girl exchanged worried glances.
The little girl couldn't help but speak out, "We can't go any further. If the being inside the mine gets angry, we will all die."
Everyone from the Lost Land knows that there is a supreme being within the Crystal Stone Mine.
This being treats the Crystal Stone Mine as its private property, forbidding anyone to touch it, even approaching it is considered an offense. Although this supreme being has never shown itself, its terrifying oppressive force constantly envelops the entire mine, sending chills down one's spine.
The fair-skinned man said indifferently, "Don't worry."
He took out a Jade Pendant and hung it around his waist, which immediately emitted a soft glow, covering an area of several meters.
Shi Nian edged closer, just about to enter the area enveloped by the light of the Jade Pendant.
"Within this aura's range, there will be no problem," the man said indifferently.
Could there be such an incredible object?
The little girl was struck with astonishment.
But Lin Lei had already calmed down.
After all, he is a subordinate of that person. Since he can come to the Lost Land to capture him, how could he not be fully prepared?
The existence within the Crystal Stone Mine is undoubtedly terrifying.
But compared to his enemy, it is probably still lacking somewhat.
Lin Lei gave a bitter smile and said no more.
He no longer cared about his own safety; his only concern was how to make them let his elder sister go.
If he could threaten with his own life, maybe there was a slim glimmer of hope.
Upon entering the area of the Jade Pendant's aura, that terrible oppressive feeling indeed vanished instantly.
The fair-skinned man led them directly to the confluence of two energies.
The core area of the Crystal Stone Mine was right here.
Upon reaching this area, the Demonic Qi and Immortal Spirit Qi began to conflict with each other, a wild aura rushing towards them.
However, in the next instant, a shield appeared around the Jade Pendant, blocking out the raging energies.
"Keep up," the man said indifferently.
If he dared to enter, he naturally had a way to leave.
After all, Lin Lei was of vital importance to his master and was not to be lost.
In this Crystal Stone Mine, there lurked a Great Demon that had lived for an unknown number of years.
This Great Demon could absorb both Demonic Qi and Immortal Spirit Qi, even merging the two energies into a terrifying chaotic power. Although its strength still remained at the Demon Emperor Peak Realm, should it come to a fight, even ordinary Immortal Venerables would not dare to provoke it lightly.
This is a genuinely top-tier entity of this world.
Since such a powerful being has delineated its territory, it naturally does not allow others to offend it.
He did not barge in forcibly, but rather the Great Demon owed his master a favor, and this Jade Pendant was personally bestowed by the Great Demon.
Therefore, he was able to bring Lin Lei and the others in safely.
However, the Great Demon also doesn't like to be disturbed continuously, hence, it gave a limitation of three uses.
After three times, the Jade Pendant would exhaust its energy and lose all effectiveness.
Though he appeared calm on the surface.
Once he entered here, the man's body obviously tensed up.
With the Jade Pendant, he should be safe.
But after all, it is a being that with a mere sneeze, could put him in mortal danger. Caution is necessary.
In the void, Shi Nian also started to get nervous.
The man's goal was too obvious, and she guessed that the exit from the Lost Land was likely right here.
On one hand, she wanted to master this method of leaving as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, she inevitably felt some trepidation.
That was a terrifying existence whose actual abilities even the junior leaders couldn't probe.
He wouldn't see through her disguise, would he?
Regret began to surface in the depths of Shi Nian's heart.
Even if she wanted to know the method of leaving, there was no need to be so impatient.
Now, she had placed herself in danger.
This was very inappropriate, indeed!
Next time, she mustn't undertake such risky actions.
Shi Nian did some serious self-reflection, but since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
Since the Jade Pendant guaranteed unobstructed passage here, she would wait until they reached the exit, then make her move to snatch the Jade Pendant. With it, she should be able to leave smoothly.
Just as the group was slowly moving forward.
In the deepest part of the Crystal Stone Mine, a creature as red as flames slowly opened its eyes.
It had no mouth, nose, or ears, and its entire body was fiery red, with six huge wings on its back.
Currently, these wings were curled up, but should they fully expand, it's feared the entire space would collapse.
This was the Great Demon from the legends, Emperor Jiang.
At this moment, Emperor Jiang's gaze pierced through the void, curiously observing a certain place.
Though there were numerous barriers in between, they were virtually nonexistent to him; his gaze directly fell upon Lin Lei and the others.
And he saw that Jade Pendant.
Emperor Jiang snorted coldly but made no move.
After all, a promise had to be kept; since they held the Jade Pendant and didn't disturb anything within the Crystal Stone Mine, he was too lazy to do anything.
After observing a bit longer, Emperor Jiang suddenly gave a soft exclamation.
His gaze focused, and a faint shadow appeared within the void.
Emperor Jiang's expression subtly changed.
In this void, there was actually another person hidden.
And with his keen senses, he had almost been deceived!
The secret teachings of this person must be no trivial matter.
Unfortunately, complex as they may be, they are but human secret teachings; the Demon Clan probably cannot cultivate them.
However, this piqued Emperor Jiang's interest.
Tut-tut-tut.
That self-important individual had sent subordinates in to take that unfortunate whelp away.
This was quite normal.
However, it seemed that the subordinate had yet to realize that someone had been following him through the void all along!
Emperor Jiang suddenly felt a bit of schadenfreude.
With such terrifying concealment abilities, once this woman made her move, that man would likely lose his life in an instant.
But Emperor Jiang had no intention of intervening whatsoever.
He offered the Jade Pendant simply as part of a transaction.
He only said he wouldn't lay a hand on those with the Jade Pendant; he never said he would protect them.
This drama, Emperor Jiang, had decided to watch!
The passages within the Crystal Stone Mine were winding, with layers upon layers of various Crystal Stones on both sides.
Shi Nian's eyes nearly turned green with envy.
If she could have all these Crystal Stones, she feared she might ascend to godhood right on the spot!
But from the man's cautious demeanor, she knew that these Crystal Stones were probably not to be touched.
Shi Nian could only beat her chest and stomp her feet in regret while earnestly following the main group.
Finally, the man led them into a secret chamber.
This secret chamber was empty, with only a large Array set up in the central area.
The man's expression brightened, and he let out a sigh of relief; they had arrived at their destination.
