Chapter 1533: Ask the Lowest Realm Level Person to Go There

Xia Jiang’s implication was quite obvious, and everyone understood it.

However, this didn’t mean that they would accept it because Xia Jiang’s position had already dropped to a low level.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was the person who had discovered the lake’s entrance, and they still needed him to leave.

When Xia Jiang realized this, he stopped smiling.

“It’s you who have harmed us and made us suffer disastrous casualties. We have ended up in this situation because of you,” Jiang Chen wasn’t going to let Xia Jiang off lightly, and he started making trouble for him.

His words were like a reminder to the crowd, and they all started giving Xia Jiang dirty looks.

“Casualties are a common matter when it comes to adventures and treasure-hunting,” Xia Jiang said as he quickly took his Mysterious Crystal and raised it high so that everyone could see it clearly. He said, “Take a look, the Mysterious Crystal’s reaction proves that a large number of Mysterious Crystals are in the vicinity.”

It seemed as if these words possessed a magical charm, and everyone’s heartbeats quickened upon hearing them.

“Where did you get this piece of Mysterious Crystal?” Jiang Chen asked suddenly.

The Mysterious Crystal was the reason everything had started, and their group wouldn’t have come here if Xia Jiang hadn’t gotten it.

“Why should I inform you?” Xia Jiang sneered.

But Ying Ying and Cao Ze looked at Xia Jiang coldly and awaited the answer.

Xia Jiang was left without a choice. He didn’t want to divulge this secret, but he still told them the truth.

In the Young Sovereigns one-month trial, Xia Jiang had met a heavily injured Great Celestial Demon. He had been overjoyed and assumed that this was a good chance bestowed upon him by God.

The reason behind this was that it didn’t matter who had injured the Great Celestial Demon, he would get a great reward as long as he killed it.

Xia Jiang hunted down the Great Celestial Demon and their paths ended up by chance atop a cliff. There, they had detected intense energy ripples beneath them.

When Xia Jiang descended to inspect what had caused the ripples, he discovered a Mysterious Crystal, as well as the crevice’s entrance.

“A piece of Mysterious Crystal was put there nicely. Yet, you didn’t find this matter strange at all?” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but raise a question.

“What is strange about it?” When Xia Jiang recalled this matter, he also realized that something was perhaps fishy about it, but he didn’t want to admit anything in front of Jiang Chen.

Xia Jiang continued narrating his story. At that time, the trial would shortly have come to an end, and, if he entered rashly into the crevice, he would expose it, and he would end up missing a golden opportunity.

This was why he didn’t inform anyone about this matter at the time and finished the trial along with the others.

After the dust had settled, Xia Jiang changed his appearance and came back again to the Demon Slayers Palace to enter the Demonic Abyss.

It couldn’t be denied that Xia Jiang had had great patience by waiting to take action for a long time. But it was a pity that he had run into Cao Ze and his companions on the second floor, and, soon after, Left Blade and Right Sword, as well as Jin Yuan.

“How did you discover him?” Jiang Chen asked Cao Ze out of curiosity.

They had had a few interactions but didn’t have any relationship. This was why when Cao Ze heard Jiang Chen’s question, he frowned.

“At that time, we had run into Jin Yuan, and he had informed us that a Demon Slayers Palace’s disciple in the vicinity might have met danger. And when we ran over to take a look, we discovered Xia Jiang.”

After Cao Ze stated this, the crowd finally believed what Xuan Qing had said a while ago. Everything had been a ploy set up by Jin Yuan.

Jin Yuan had first lured Xia Jiang with a Mysterious Crystal, and, when he discovered that he planned to travel alone, he figured out a way to get Cao Ze and the others to travel with him to increase the size of the group.

“Despite everything, we still want to get the Mysterious Crystals, and we will kill anyone in our way no matter if they are demons or Gods,” Ying Ying expressed his impatience and shouted at Xia Jiang. He said, “You! Go inside to take a look. Everything was started by you.”

Xia Jiang didn’t want to do this. He was already quite irritated by being treated so roughly, and he said, “Do you really think that you are able to deal with me? I’m just restraining my power because I don’t want to expose my identity. If we shed all pretense of cordiality, I wouldn’t be afraid of anyone here.”

As Xia Jiang spoke, his aura erupted. It seemed as if his body even became taller. He had an indomitable spirit and seemed inviolable.

Jiang Chen could tell through his aura that he was really the Xia Jiang who had visited the Heavenly Palace in the past.

Ying Ying’s expression changed. He discovered that he had underestimated Xia Jiang’s power.

It wasn’t a wise decision to start a great battle at this moment.

“Ask the lowest realm level person to go there.”

This time, Xia Jiang didn’t make any insinuations, and he nearly pointed at Jiang Chen directly.

Everyone seemed swayed both because they believed that Jiang Chen couldn’t put up any resistance and that he would do as instructed obediently.

At this moment, even Xuan Qing was on guard.

It was only Murong Yanran who knew Jiang Chen’s fighting prowess at his peak state, and, if they had really started a fight, he wouldn’t lose to anyone present.

“I will go inside.”

No one had expected that Jiang Chen would agree to it so readily.

Xuan Qing was taken aback, but she quickly understood his intentions.

They had come here to obstruct the Great Demon Lord’s resurrection, and, if they allowed an ignorant person to go inside, he would only exhaust the Gods’ power. This wouldn’t be a wise choice!

“I will go with you.”

Xuan Qing knew that the Gods’ power in this land wouldn’t harm her.

They walked toward the bamboo house without waiting for anyone’s instructions.

When Cao Ze saw their reaction, he became skeptical, and he started making guesses about this matter. It was the same for Ying Ying, and they both thought the same thing.

They weren’t afraid that Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing would do anything fishy, and if they found Mysterious Crystals, that would be the best outcome. In any case, they could just snatch them!

Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing entered the bamboo house in front of the crowd’s gazes.

“Are there really Mysterious Crystals?” Xuan Qing wasn’t sure about this. This place was built to strand a Demon Lord, and there wasn’t any reason to put treasures here.

“They are really here!” Jiang Chen unexpectedly replied in assured tone.

“You! Did you find them?” Xuan Qing was quite surprised.

Jiang Chen nodded and turned his head back to take a look at the Mysterious Crystal in Xia Jiang’s hands. When Jiang Chen saw the crystal’s flickering light, he found this matter quite funny.

Those people would have never imagined that the Mysterious Crystals were actually in front of their eyes, and they were within the lake.

The Mysterious Crystals had turned into a liquid, and they had blended with the lake’s water. However, the lake had a great expanse, and the Mysterious Crystals’ energy didn’t make up for even 1 percent of the water. This was why they were difficult to discover.

However, even though it amounted to only 1 percent, this energy, if it was turned back into crystals, would make 100,000 pieces.

This was an astronomical wealth to everyone present here.

The reason why Jiang Chen discovered this was that he’d read many books and wasn’t like those people who assumed that Mysterious Crystals would always keep a crystalline shape. This was a grave mistake.

The Mysterious Crystals’ appearance had been described in a book Jiang Chen had once read in which the Empyrean Goddess’s life had been recounted.

“It’s an energy that rivals the black yellow gas, probably even better. The Empyrean Goddess had absorbed the world’s energy and turned it into gas, before condensing it into a liquid, and refining it until it turned it into a crystal. This was why it was called a Mysterious Crystal.”

Those were the words written in the book, and this was why Jiang Chen managed to come up with his guess when he saw the island’s water source.

The other people were obviously standing atop a treasure trove, yet they still couldn’t discover the treasures’ location. This was a sorrowful matter!

Xia Jiang’s Mysterious Crystal could only discern an approximate position, and its scope encompassed the whole island and the lake. They couldn’t use the Mysterious Crystal to get more precise information about the crystals.

Jiang Chen was now concerned about the Demon Lord. A Great Demon Lord was stranded here, and there was still another Demon Lord that had escaped. The most thorny one was the fugitive Demon Lord because they had already searched the whole island, yet they still hadn’t seen it.

Jiang Chen suddenly recalled the guy who’d tried to assassinate him last time in the Heavenly Palace. He wondered whether the Demon Lord could take advantage of the fog’s cover to kill someone, take his place, and mingle with them.
