187: Xuan Yin Demon Body Hua Xiaoxi

Just as she stepped out of the Black Abyss Forbidden Land, Jiang Chen smiled and blocked the path of the girl in black.

"Little Girl, I observe that you possess a unique disposition and are a rare Genius."

"I intend to bring you back to my Sect to Cultivate as an Inner Sect Disciple. Would you be willing?"

Jiang Chen looked at the girl in black before him with a gentle smile.

At this moment, his System panel displayed the detailed information of the girl in black.

【Hua Xiaoxi, 19 years old, Ninth-Grade Talent, Earth Venerable Second Level cultivation】

【Special Physique, Mysterious Yin Devilish Physique】

【Life Trajectory: Born into a Saint King Family in the Central Province, she appeared quite ordinary since childhood. At sixteen, she absorbed a jade pendant contaminated with Devilish Qi, resulting in the Awakening of her Mysterious Yin Devilish Physique. While searching for Devilish Qi to absorb, she was discovered, and her Family was controlled, turning her into a Puppet for gathering treasures, which is how she was brought to the Black Abyss Forbidden Land】

"I… I…"

Facing Jiang Chen, who had suddenly appeared and wanted to take her back to be an Inner Sect Disciple, Hua Xiaoxi stared with her large, watery eyes. She stammered for a long time but could not get a single word out.

She was currently being controlled by a very powerful person.

And no matter how one looked at it, Jiang Chen did not appear stronger than the Middle-aged Man. If she agreed to Jiang Chen's words, wouldn't that just harm him as well?

"Brat, where are you from?!"

"How dare you steal from this Family Head? Are you looking for death?"

Seeing that the girl in black was about to return to his side, only to be blocked by Jiang Chen who wanted to take her back as an Inner Sect Disciple, the Middle-aged Man shouted in fury.

He would not believe Jiang Chen's nonsense.

What unique disposition? It was clearly that he had also discovered the girl in black's ability and was deliberately using this excuse to snatch her.

If it weren't for the fact that he could not see through Jiang Chen's cultivation, he would have smashed Jiang Chen into pieces long ago.

"Oh, I am looking for death?"

Hearing the Middle-aged Man's words, Jiang Chen glanced at him slightly and then flicked a burst of power toward him.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the Middle-aged Man, who had been very angry just a moment ago, exploded into a mist of blood on the spot.

"Hiss, th-that person is dead?"

Seeing the Middle-aged Man who had held her captive blown to pieces by a casual flick of power from Jiang Chen, Hua Xiaoxi was stunned into silence.

She knew exactly what the Middle-aged Man's cultivation level was.

A dignified Saint Emperor Peak expert had been effortlessly blown to bits by Jiang Chen; Jiang Chen's cultivation had to be at least a Quasi-Emperor.

She never imagined that at this moment, a Quasi-Emperor would actually want to take her back to be an Inner Sect Disciple; it felt truly dreamlike.

Not far from the two, a group of Saint Kings and Saint Emperors were watching this scene with horror.

They were the strongest members of the forces whose Cultivators had just been killed by the Middle-aged Man.

Originally, they had gathered together, wanting to snatch the girl in black from the Middle-aged Man's hands before the Quasi-Emperor from his Family arrived.

Who would have thought they would run into an expert like Jiang Chen?

Being able to kill the Middle-aged Man, who had one foot in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, with a single casual strike, Jiang Chen must be at least a third or fourth level Quasi-Emperor.

Such cultivation was not something they could contend with.

"Sigh, it seems this girl who can freely enter the Black Abyss Forbidden Land is not destined for us."

"Indeed, with this Quasi-Emperor here, going up there is just throwing our lives away."

The group looked at Jiang Chen standing in front of Hua Xiaoxi and let out sighs of helplessness.

However, although they all felt that Hua Xiaoxi was no longer within their reach, no one left, instead standing in place and waiting quietly.

Because the Quasi-Emperor Old Ancestor of the Feng Family, to which the Middle-aged Man belonged, had not yet arrived.

As soon as the Feng Family's Quasi-Emperor Old Ancestor arrived, he would come into conflict with Jiang Chen, and they might still be able to fish in troubled waters and pick up some benefits.

"Hehe, now no one will disturb me as I take on a Disciple."

Seeing the Middle-aged Man explode, Jiang Chen turned his head and continued to look at Hua Xiaoxi with a smile, saying, "How about it, Little Girl? Why don't you say something?"

Jiang Chen stared at Hua Xiaoxi, feeling somewhat speechless.

This girl, although she didn't act lovesick like Qin Fei'er and Mu Xueqing, liked to space out. She hadn't said a complete sentence yet; it was truly anxiety-inducing.

"Ah?"

Hearing Jiang Chen ask again, Hua Xiaoxi came back to her senses. After some thought, she replied firmly, "Senior, I… I am willing to go back to the Sect with you and become an Inner Sect Disciple."

"But my Family is being held hostage by the subordinates of the Middle-aged Man whom you just killed. Senior, can you please help me rescue my Family?"

Hua Xiaoxi stuttered slightly, looking at Jiang Chen nervously.

She had no doubts about Jiang Chen wanting to take her back to the Sect as an Inner Sect Disciple.

After all, given Jiang Chen's cultivation, there was no need to deceive her. If he really had any ulterior motives, he could have just taken her by force.

Now that she agreed to go back to the Sect with Jiang Chen and become an Inner Sect Disciple, it was because she hoped that Jiang Chen would take that into account and help her rescue her Family.

Because apart from Jiang Chen taking action, she simply could not find any other way to save her Family.

"Hehe, that is a small matter. Since I intend to bring you back to the Sect, I will naturally take care of your worries." Jiang Chen replied with a smile upon hearing this.

Even if Hua Xiaoxi hadn't asked, he would have helped her rescue her Family.

The Family of a Qingtian Sect Disciple could not be killed off by just anyone.

"Thank you, Senior!" Hearing Jiang Chen's agreement, Hua Xiaoxi bowed deeply to him, a happy smile appearing on her face.

【Ding, successfully accepted an Inner Sect Disciple, obtained an epic treasure chest】

"Mm, good." Seeing the epic treasure chest already appear in his System inventory, a smile also bloomed on Jiang Chen's face.

Now that the treasure chest was in hand, he had to consider Hua Xiaoxi's cultivation problem.

Since Hua Xiaoxi had a Devilish Physique, she would definitely Cultivate faster by absorbing Devilish Qi.

And since the Qingtian Sect currently had no Devilish Qi, he would have to find some for Hua Xiaoxi to absorb.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and cast his gaze toward the Black Abyss Forbidden Land not far away.

When Hua Xiaoxi was inside earlier absorbing the black energy, he had seen it; this energy, different from Spiritual Qi, must be Devilish Qi.

Since the Black Abyss Forbidden Land possessed Devilish Qi, there must be something inside that produced it, so he wanted to enter the Black Abyss Forbidden Land once to find some such devilish objects.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen said to Hua Xiaoxi, "Little Girl, we will save your Family later. I will go in there first to find some Devilish Qi for you. You come in with me."

Jiang Chen pointed to the Black Abyss Forbidden Land.

He wouldn't be at ease leaving Hua Xiaoxi alone outside, so it was better to bring her inside.

"Enter in there!?" Hua Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Chen with an expression of disbelief upon hearing this.

What kind of place the Black Abyss Forbidden Land was, it wasn't just the people of the entire Canglan Continent who knew.

In this Central Province, there was likely no one who didn't know what kind of place the Black Abyss Forbidden Land was and what taboos it held.

This was a place where even Great Emperors would fall if they entered.

Jiang Chen was now saying he wanted to take her into the Black Abyss Forbidden Land to find Devilish Qi; what on earth was going on?
