Chapter 698 Abyss of Evil

The area Chen Guan chose for the Mystic Spirits was called the Abyss of Evil. The environment there was very special and not suitable for large-scale battles, but there were a lot of Mystic Spirits there, and they were all of very high level, almost all of them being sixth-level Mystic Spirits.

It can be said that it is a forbidden zone for humans. Even top-level sixth-awareness experts would not easily go to the Abyss of Evil.

Of course, most importantly, this Abyss of Evil is not within Chen Guan's sphere of influence.

If he needs resources, of course he should use other people's resources. Wouldn't it be better to keep his own resources for his followers to use?

And since the Abyss of Evil is located within the territory of the merchants, it's hard to say that this wasn't intentional on Chen Guan's part.

Although the merchants did not participate in the Gong family's actions against Ziyang City afterward, Chen Guan still remembered their previous actions.

If Chen Guan weren't worried about completely enraging the ten great families and causing them to join forces against Ziyang City, he would have gone to the merchants to get compensation long ago.

After the battle of Ziyang City, Chen Guan remained relatively clear-headed.

The ten great families have too deep a foundation. If they are determined to destroy him, even if only a few of them join forces, let alone all ten, they would be enough to make him suffer.

He himself is doing alright, but the foundation he worked so hard to build is probably going to be completely destroyed.

Chen Guan needs to cultivate his power to a point where it can turn against the ten major families before he can truly act with impunity.

With Teng Mingli and Mr. Xiao managing his own territory, Chen Guan felt at ease. His main task was to improve himself first.

Upon arriving at the Abyss of Evil, Chen Guan flew directly inside and immediately heard sounds of battle emanating from within.

They drifted to the battlefield. Because of the persistent miasma in the Abyss of Evil, the Thousand-Mile Vision was of little use if they were too far away.

When Chen Guan got closer, he discovered that the person fighting in the Abyss of Evil was actually an old acquaintance.

“Shang Ziyi… he’s come to the cave heaven too…” Chen Guan was surprised not because he thought Shang Ziyi’s advancement was fast.

Chen Guan's First Secret Technique is so difficult, yet he has already reached the Sixth Awakening. It's not surprising that Shang Ziyi has reached the Sixth Awakening.

In fact, given the resources of the merchant and Shang Ziyi's talent, it wouldn't take Shang Ziyi long to achieve the sixth awakening.

The reason why large families find it difficult to cultivate strong individuals is not because they lack resources, but because they don't have enough geniuses in their own families.

Awakening to the Secret Realm requires extremely high comprehension, and advancing to the Great Cave Heaven also requires talent and extremely high comprehension.

As long as one has good talent, family support, and the cultivation techniques are not particularly difficult to master, most members of large families level up very quickly.

The reason for his surprise was that, as far as he knew, Shang Ziyi's branch of the Shang family was not favored by King Shang.

Even a genius like Shang Qingtian was kept firmly within the blessed land, and was not allowed to advance to the grotto heaven.

It's said to be guarding a blessed land, but isn't this just a form of suppression?

I heard that Shangqingtian has been allowed to advance to a grotto-heaven, so there must still be someone to guard Samsara City and someone to suppress the blessed land.

Chen Guan originally thought that this job would definitely fall to the Shang Qingtian lineage, and Shang Ziyi should be the only choice.

Unexpectedly, he actually came to the cave heaven and even ran to a place like the Abyss of Evil.

After a moment's thought, Chen Guan guessed some of it.

The resources and environment near the Abyss of Evil are extremely harsh. Could it be that Shang Qingtian and his son Shang Ziyi were exiled here?
Chen Guan's heart stirred, and he descended to watch Shang Ziyi fight against the evil spirits.

It must be said that although Chen Guan knows how to use martial arts rhythm, he can only say that he knows how to use it. Compared with Shang Ziyi, the fluency and visual appeal are far inferior.

Watching Shang Ziyi use martial arts rhythm has an indescribable beauty. It's like watching someone play basketball; some people can use all sorts of techniques, but when it comes to beauty, that's really not the point.

Some people play basketball in a way that is exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

Amidst the onslaught of those evil spirits, Shang Ziyi controlled their rhythm, striking them one by one with every punch.

It looked as if those evil spirits were lining up to deliver blows to his fist.

If this were a game, those evil spirits would definitely be accused of intentionally feeding kills.

Shang Ziyi had already noticed that someone was coming, but he still finished killing the evil spirits as usual before turning to look at Chen Guan.

“Zi Donglai.” Shang Ziyi recognized Chen Guan at a glance and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Looking at Shang Ziyi, Chen Guan couldn't help but sigh. He was no longer the same Shang Ziyi he used to be; he had begun to take responsibility.

Chen Guan knew that Shang Ziyi was worried, not about himself, but because Shang Qingtian should be stationed nearby. He wondered if Zi Donglai had some intention towards the Shang family.

"I'm just here in the Abyss of Evil to hunt Mystic Spirits; it has nothing to do with your merchants," Chen Guan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shang Ziyi's brows relaxed. Although Zi Donglai's words could not be entirely trusted, their impoverished and desolate place was indeed not worth Zi Donglai's attack.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer." Shang Ziyi said, turning to leave.

"Shang Ziyi, are you interested in cooperating with me?" Chen Guan asked, watching Shang Ziyi's retreating figure.

"What kind of cooperation?" Shang Ziyi turned to Chen Guan and asked.

"As far as I know, the Shangqingtian lineage isn't very well-regarded by the Shang family, is it? If you're willing to cooperate with me, I can help you and your son become the heads of the Shang family within the Pengxuan Cave Heaven." Chen Guan always felt that his energy and abilities were limited, and it would be best if he could have more allies.

Unfortunately, the interests of the older generation of the ten major families were deeply entrenched and could not be shaken by him.

However, people like Shang Ziyi and his son might be the key screws that Chen Guan uses to manipulate the machine of the ten major families.

"Businessmen have their own way of doing things. If you don't understand, that's your problem." Shang Ziyi wouldn't talk to a stranger about such things. He retorted and turned to leave, ignoring Chen Guan.

"We'll talk about that later. Now, I'm inviting you to join me in hunting down the Mystic Spirits in the Abyss of Evil. Do you dare to go?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

Shang Ziyi stopped and turned to look at Chen Guan.

He didn't know what Chen Guan wanted to do or why he was keeping him here.

Moreover, although Shang Ziyi also wanted to see Zi Donglai's abilities, he had heard too much about Zi Donglai and did have the intention of comparing himself with Zi Donglai.

"Such provocation won't work on me, but I just want to see what you really want." Shang Ziyi walked towards Chen Guan, which was tantamount to acknowledging Chen Guan's invitation.

Chen Guan and Shang Ziyi chatted, but Shang Ziyi remained silent most of the time.

Then another evil spirit appeared ahead, and its gaze fell on Chen Guan, its meaning clear: it wanted to see Chen Guan's performance.

Chen Guan smiled and summoned the Evil Spirit Blood Sword. With one strike, the evil spirits were all pierced through the head, ending up with their souls scattered.

With the level 53 Evil Blood Sword, killing these sixth-level evil spirits is incredibly easy.

Chen Guan's purpose in coming here was not to deal with these dozen or so evil spirits; his destination was the Evil Spirit Lake in the Abyss of Evil.

The Lake of Evil Spirits is home to countless evil spirits; that is where Chen Guan intends to use the Creation World technique.
