Chapter 1497 - The Transmission Room
Xuan Qing went to the channel with Jiang Chen after killing one thousand Human Demonic Kings.
Since the channel was at the center and it was the only one, it was inevitable to run into others.
More than eight hundred people entered the Demonic Abyss this time. All of them were Martial something.
Different from Jiang Chen’s past experiences, this place was not surrounded by geniuses anymore.
Before the two arrived at the channel, two persons appeared where they had finished the task.
There was a huge gap between their ages. One of them was about thirty years old, while the other was a white-haired old man.
They were exactly Prince Fengyu and his Second Elder.
The key disciples were very surprised. Xuan Qing was famous in the Slay Demon Palace. She was not only pretty but also the descendant of the Goddess of Empyrean.
However, she was also known for aloofness and indifference.
It was incredible that she had taken the trouble to come down to do someone a favor.
“We want to use the transmission house.”
Seeing them struck dumb because of astonishment, Xuan Qing emphasized unhappily.
“Okay. No problem. Let me find Apprentice Elder Brother Xu.”
The key disciple before her came to himself. He hurried to run away.
“I guess you are not very close to other disciples in your school.”
Jiang Chen had found out how people saw Xuan Qing on their way.
“I don’t feel I belong to the Slay Demon Palace,” Xuan Qing said coldly.
As to the reason, Jiang Chen could more or less guess it.
In her eyes, the Slay Demon Palace must be one of the schemers.
“Have you ever thought that you are just overthinking? The boy who disappeared when you were eight could leave for some other reason,” Jiang Chen said carefully.
“It’s impossible.”
Xuan Qing shook her head. Her look was very resolute. She said, “I didn’t come to this world out of nowhere. Otherwise, the families into which my mother and my grandmother married would know.”
“All right.”
Jiang Chen did not try to argue.
That Apprentice Elder Brother Xu in charge of the transmission house came into their sight very soon.
The disciple who had gone to inform him had obviously told him about the two.
He was doubtful at first. Not until he had seen Xuan Qing did he confirm there was nothing wrong. However, he frowned and threw Jiang Chen, standing next to Xuan Qing, a hostile look.
“Alas.”
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. He had guessed what was going to happen next. He thought to himself, “Women are really troublesome.”
“Apprentice Younger Sister Xuan Qing, why did you come down?”
This Apprentice Elder Brother Xu, asked the same thing after approaching her.
“I have some errands to run,” Xuan Qing answered simply. She looked impatient.
Apprentice Elder Brother Xu was struck dumb. Raising his thick eyebrow, he said, “Give me your hand.”
He was holding a jade in his hand. Its material was the same as what the Mysterious Gate was made of.
“It can detect whether a person has killed one thousand Human Demonic Kings. The transmission house can detect that, too. But there are too many people on the first and the second layer, so this is a way to alleviate the burden caused by the large flow of people.”
Xuan Qing told Jiang Chen through holy awareness.
Then she extended her hand and pressed against the jade. There was no problem.
When it was Jiang Chen’s turn, the result was the same.
However, Apprentice Elder Brother Xu did not have the intention to let them go into the transmission house. He looked like he was pondering on something with a false smile.
“The Mysterious Gate had been open for only two hours. Apprentice younger sister, you are a Martial Arts Saint. The task is certainly easy for you. But you are only a Martial Emperor in the late stage. How come you were so fast as well?” he said.
He did not even try to hide his doubt and disdain.
Jiang Chen stayed calm. He asked, “What are you implying?”
“The Demonic Abyss isn’t a playground. My apprentice younger sister is a good person. She helped you finish the task, but you shouldn’t be here,” Apprentice Elder Brother Xu said predicatively.
Jiang Chen absolutely would not be polite to such people. He shouted, “It’s none of your business. You are just a laborer standing here with a stone. You don’t get to know what the process was like.”
“What?”
Apprentice Elder Brother Xu was dumbfounded. He had thought Jiang Chen would be annoyed and ashamed. He had supposed the latter would be angry with him.
But he was totally shocked by Jiang Chen’s disdainful and contemptuous tone.
“Are you courting death?!”
This time it was Apprentice Elder Brother Xu, who flew into a rage. He ran towards Jiang Chen, intending to knock the latter down with the strength of state.
A beautiful figure showed up in front of Jiang Chen to stop him.
“Apprentice younger sister?”
Seeing the coldness in the eyes of the pretty woman in front of him, Apprentice Elder Brother Xu realized the two were not just friends.
