93: Chapter 93 Entering the Nest

"Lingyang, what happened?" Chen Changqing's tone was calm. He had been traveling day and night for the past few days and finally arrived today. Fortunately, Chen Lingyang was unharmed; otherwise, that so-called Zheng family had better test whether his fists were hard or not.

"Seventh Uncle." Chen Lingyang was overjoyed, then explained everything that had happened recently to Chen Changqing in detail.

Chen Changqing merely nodded, then turned his head to glance at Su Yu.

Being stared at by Chen Changqing, Su Yu felt boundless pressure for a moment. Clearly, the Senior Chen before her hadn't released even a shred of magical power, yet she could clearly perceive the pressure.

"Senior Chen." Su Yu suppressed the panic in her heart and respectfully bowed.

"Thank you for taking care of our family's Lingyang these past few days," Chen Changqing said calmly, patting his Storage Pouch as a Tier 1 High Grade Magical Artifact floated before Su Yu's eyes.

Su Yu looked up at the Magical Artifact and hurriedly refused, "Senior Chen, if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Chen saving me during this time, this humble one would have long since perished. How could I dare accept such a generous gift?"

Chen Changqing did not speak, but Chen Lingyang instead said, "Fellow Daoist Su, this is a meager token of regard prepared by my Seventh Uncle. You should just accept it."

With Chen Lingyang speaking up, Su Yu no longer resisted. She bowed to Chen Changqing and put away the Tier 1 High Grade Magical Artifact.

Chen Changqing sent a voice transmission to Chen Lingyang, "This person has a clean background. If you are interested, you can take her under your command. Our clan truly lacks talent in the field of specialized skills."

Chen Lingyang nodded and cupped his hands in a salute.

With a thought from Chen Changqing, a qingye boat floated out from his Storage Pouch, and he stepped onto it. Chen Lingyang and the other didn't hesitate and boarded the boat together.

Following the coordinates provided by Chen Lingyang, Chen Changqing drove the qingye boat forward.

After traveling nearly a hundred miles, they finally arrived at the location where Chen Lingyang and Su Yu had been.

"This is?" Chen Lingyang was puzzled.

Su Yu also wore a puzzled expression.

Before their eyes was a thick fog whose extent was unknown.

"This should be a Tier 2 Formation set up by that group of Cultivators." Chen Changqing furrowed his brows slightly and explained.

"You two wait here; I'll be right back."

With a single step, Chen Changqing left the qingye boat and entered the fog.

The other two watched Chen Changqing's back gradually disappear into the fog, not daring to act rashly as they obediently waited for him to return.

Chen Changqing released his Divine Sense, but it could only cover a radius of nearly three miles. Clearly, this Formation not only possessed the ability to release fog, but it could also suppress a Cultivator's Divine Soul.

"Hmm?" Sensing a trace of movement coming from one direction, Chen Changqing flew forward.

Bang, bang, bang!

Several Zheng family Cultivators were killing some Human-Faced Demon Spiders.

During this time, the Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen emerged from the cave and engaged in a fierce battle with two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the clan for nearly the time it takes to burn an incense stick. As a result, both sides were evenly matched, but the Human-Faced Demon Spider had its Physical Body pierced. Realizing something was wrong, it immediately returned to the cave.

As for the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Zheng family, one was bound by spider silk and had one of his arms shredded, while the other had a Tier 2 Low Grade Magical Artifact destroyed.

"Third Uncle, what should we do next?" Zheng Yanlin asked. He had just taken a healing Medicinal Pill to temporarily suppress the poison in his arm. When they were fighting earlier, he hadn't expected the Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen's spider silk to be so troublesome—not only was it exceptionally tough, but it also carried a fatal poison. Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise he would have died at the hands of the Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen.

"Restore your injuries first. We will strike again after you've recovered. That beast was just hit by the self-detonation of my Feishalun; even if it isn't dead, it definitely won't be doing well," Zheng Qingfeng explained.

Zheng Yanlin nodded. He immediately sat cross-legged and hurried to recover.

Not far away, Chen Changqing relied on his extremely powerful Divine Sense to observe the situation inside. However, because the Formation isolated Divine Sense, even he couldn't completely take in everything inside; he only knew that no intense magical combat had broken out within.

In that case, he would wait a little longer.

Chen Changqing thought to himself.

Another hour passed.

Zheng Yanlin inside finally forced the poison out from his wound completely before coming to Zheng Qingfeng's side.

The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and charged into the cave together, casually slaying a few Human-Faced Demon Spiders intercepting them outside the cave. Meanwhile, the group of Qi Refining Cultivators from the Zheng family remained outside to clear away these Tier 1 Human-Faced Demon Spiders.

Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!

After the two entered, the entire cave was intricate and complex, covered with spider webs, and some Human-Faced Demon Spiders continuously spat silk at them.

The two summoned their Magical Artifacts to exterminate the spiders while clearing away the spider webs.

After circling a large half of the cave, the two still couldn't find the Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen.

"Could it be underground?" Zheng Yanlin asked doubtfully.

Zheng Qingfeng raised an eyebrow. That was indeed possible. No matter how large the cave was, it was impossible not to find the Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen at all unless there was only one possibility: that Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen was deeply hidden underground at this moment.

Since that was the case, they would search for an entrance leading downwards.

After discussing it, the two began searching.

Before long, they found the cave entrance leading underground.

...

Outside the Formation, Chen Changqing perceived wave after wave of intense vibrations, guessing that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators inside had started fighting.

At this moment, Chen Changqing summoned a Tier 2 Top-Grade Qingxuan Demon-Suppressing Sword and tore open the Tier 2 Low Grade Lost Track Formation with a single stroke.

Ignoring the dumbfounded Zheng family Cultivators within the Formation, Chen Changqing casually unleashed strikes of Divine Sense, stunning them into unconsciousness.

Then, he looked down at the Magical Artifact in his hand, surprised by its power. According to Bai Yuqing, this Magical Artifact was an imitation of the Tier 3 High Grade Magical Artifact Qingxuan Exorcism Sword. Although it couldn't compare to the real Qingxuan Exorcism Sword, coupled with Chen Changqing's Azure Thunder, its power was incomparable to other Tier 2 Top-Grade Magical Artifacts.

He was simply surprised that this Magical Artifact was so compatible with his Azure Thunder, which was perhaps related to the Exorcism Divine Thunder Divine Ability inherent to the Qingxuan Exorcism Sword.

Chen Changqing thought no more of it. He had already disguised himself when he came, and he had stunned them into unconsciousness, so it was impossible for them to recognize him.

Furthermore...

Quite a few Human-Faced Demon Spiders were eyeing the group of Cultivators on the ground covetously, but they were deterred by Chen Changqing's aura, which was why they didn't dare to step forward.

As Chen Changqing took a step forward and instantly entered the cave, that pack of Human-Faced Demon Spiders swarmed forward, devouring the Qi Refining Cultivators on the ground.

Bang, bang, bang!

The underground vibrations grew increasingly intense. Following the source of the vibrations, Chen Changqing slowly descended.

A roar came from somewhere.

"Damn it! Wasn't this Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen injured? How did it recover so quickly?" Zheng Yanlin cursed angrily. His current appearance was miserable; his left arm, which had already been shredded, was now completely gone, and he was covered in blood.

The expression of the other, Zheng Qingfeng, was also very ugly. Although his cultivation was far higher than Zheng Yanlin's, he was still only at the Foundation Establishment Layer 5. He himself had consumed quite a bit of magical power to severely injure the Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen, and now this beast had fully recovered. As for the two of them, either they were injured or their magical power was greatly depleted, and furthermore, they were on the Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen's home turf. Dealing with it was indeed much more dangerous than before.

However, in such a short time, not only had the Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen recovered as before, but even the wounds he had severely inflicted earlier had completely disappeared.

With such miraculous methods, could there be some precious Spirit Medicine deep underground?

For a moment, his eyes burned with fervor.
