The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 423: Xiao Appears in the Rocky Abyss
"Paimon, you are so rude to my hair!"

Seeing that Paimon was fine, Ying relaxed and immediately felt waves of pain in her scalp. This reminded Ying of the fact that Paimon had grabbed her hair tightly when she was falling. Ying's face became a little gloomy.

You know, due to the long journey and no time to take care of her hair, her hair had already fallen out a little, and now it was ruined by Paimon. After getting out of the Layered Abyss, she might have to go to Bubulu to find Baizhu to get some hair care herbs.

"Hey, Ying, now is not the time to talk about this. How deep are we falling?"

Maybe because it had not been attacked for a while, the defensive formation in the jade pendant automatically closed. When Paimeng came out of the formation, he saw that Ying's face was not very good. Paimeng also laughed and began to change the subject.

But before changing the subject, she had to say that Ying's hair was really good. Even after she held it like that, not a single strand of hair fell out. If she hadn't run out of strength to let go, it would have probably not been thrown out.

"Yeah, speaking of which, where is this place? How did we fall into this cave with no hole on top?"

After Paimeng changed the subject, Ying noticed something was wrong after looking around. They had clearly fallen from above, but why were they in a cave now? They didn't faint just now.

"No, we didn't fall. We must have entered a mysterious space. To be more precise, we were sucked into a mysterious space."

Xiao looked around. If they fell from above, they could not appear in a cave, and the strange suction was obviously very strange.

"I see, Xiao, you really know a lot. Wait, Xiao!!! Why are you here???"

After hearing Xiao's explanation, Paimeng, who knew nothing, nodded as if it made sense. But when she realized that Xiao actually appeared here, she screamed in surprise.

"The Great Sage who conquers demons, Senior Xiao!?"

Yan Fei, who was attracted by Paimon's exclamation, couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Xiao appearing in the cave. As a fairy beast, she had heard a lot of stories about the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, but because of Xiao's personality, Yan Fei didn't know much about him.

"Ah."

Hearing the exclamation of the junior Yan Fei, Xiao nodded slightly. Seeing that he did not recognize the wrong person, the expression on Yan Fei's face was a little excited. It was the first time for Yan Fei to meet the Demon-Slayer without the company of his family elders.

When Xiao noticed that the expression on Yan Fei's face was a little different from usual, he thought that Yan Fei, the junior, was a little nervous about his arrival. In order to dispel Yan Fei's nervousness, Xiao also gave a rare explanation.

"Don't be nervous. I came to the Layered Abyss for other things. I just heard someone shouting for help and came to rescue them."

"When I was sucked in, I used my immortal power to fly upwards to resist the suction, but I didn't expect the suction force of the crack to be so strong. After resisting for a while, I was forcibly sucked in."

When Xiao said this, Ying, who knew Xiao well, could clearly see a hint of embarrassment on Xiao's icy face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. Perhaps this immortal Xiao did not expect that he would not only fail to save the person but also encounter such a thing.

Xiao? The legendary demon-conquering great sage? When Ye Lan heard Ying address the short man who suddenly appeared in front of her, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. If she could get some information about the Layered Rock Abyss from this demon-conquering great sage, the chance of escaping would be greatly increased. Thinking of this, Ye Lan did not hesitate to be polite with Xiao, the immortal. While the others were still discussing how to get out, she spoke directly to Xiao and Yan Fei.

"The Chasm of Rocks is considered a mysterious area in Liyue. Because the mining area was blocked a few years ago, even I don't know much about the secrets here. If you, the Demon Conqueror and Yan Fei, know the secrets, why not share them with us?"

"Ye Lan, don't look at me. I am just a junior among the immortals. This is my first time in the Layered Rock Abyss. Senior Xiao, do you know anything?"

Facing Ye Lan's gaze, Yan Fei hurriedly waved her hands to indicate that she didn't know much about the Layered Rock Abyss either. It wasn't that Yan Fei was being deliberately modest or shirking responsibility, but that she really didn't know.

"I don't know much about the Layered Abyss. I only know that this was a battlefield against monsters five hundred years ago. This time, I came here just to confirm one thing."

"And from what I remember, there doesn't seem to be such a space in the Layered Chasm. The Layered Chasm was just a huge hole at the beginning."

Xiao is not very worried about the current situation. As long as everyone stays together and is not separated, he is sure to protect everyone. This is the confidence of him as the Great Demon Slayer.

"In that case, I hope that you will not make it difficult for me to keep the secrets of the Stonehenge secret. Liyue does not want other countries to know the secrets of the Stonehenge."

After saying that, Ye Lan turned around and left, walking towards the depths of the cave. Paimon saw Ye Lan leaving like that, and asked Yan Fei, who was more familiar with Ye Lan, with some confusion.

"Yan Fei, why does Ye Lan not look nervous at all? Isn't she afraid?"

"Ye Lan, don't be fooled by her cold look now, but Ye Lan may be the one among us who knows how to deal with crises the best. If it were Ye Lan, she might be able to find a way out even if she couldn't receive it."

Hearing that Yan Fei had great confidence in Ye Lan, Ying couldn't help but become interested in Ye Lan's identity. Although she knew that Ye Lan was Ning Guang's subordinate, she was not very clear about Ye Lan's specific job content.

"Yan Fei, why are you here? Have you informed Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun?"

Looking at Yan Fei beside him, Xiao, who was quite concerned about his juniors, also asked Yan Fei a question. He didn't want Yan Fei to run out without notifying anyone.

"Don't worry, Senior Xiao. I have already informed Grandma Ping before I came. I came to the Layered Rock Abyss to retrieve the Taiweiyi Disk mentioned in the will. Many years ago, one of my clients gave this magic weapon to someone with aspirations. I hope this treasure can be used where it is needed."

"According to eyewitnesses, the person who received the magic weapon took the Taiweiyi disk to the Layered Rock Abyss and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Many wars have occurred in the area of ​​the Layered Rock Chasm in history. Even though that person is dead, I hope to find the Taiwei Disk and fulfill the client's wish."

Just as Yan Fei was telling Xiao the purpose of her coming to the Chasm, Ruo Jin, who was shopping with Hu Tao in Liyue Harbor, seemed to suddenly sense something. He paused and turned to look in the direction of the Chasm. Seeing Hu Tao's somewhat puzzled look, he sensed that the defensive magic circle on the jade pendant he gave to Paimon had been activated.
