Chapter 88: Tenth Rank Snow Leopard

  "Little friend, what's wrong?" Yin Mengtian asked anxiously beside him. He saw Ye Chen suddenly turn pale and gasp heavily, as if he had lost all his strength.

  Ye Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Prince Yin, this journey is extremely difficult and may encounter unimaginable dangers. If you can listen to me for a moment, it's better to turn back now."

  Yin Mengtian and others looked at each other in shock, as if deep in thought weighing their options.

  "We've already come this far, how can we give up halfway? It's not that I don't listen to your advice, my young friend, but a man has things he must do and things he cannot do. Even if I knew this journey would be fatal, I still have to take the risk." Yin Mung-tian thought to himself, seeing Ye Chen like this, could it be that this young friend had studied the ancient arts of divination, and was skilled in the I Ching? Earlier, when he suddenly started panting heavily, could it be that he had sensed the fortune or misfortune of this journey?

  If Ye Chen knew Yin Mung-tian's thoughts, he would probably have to admire Yin Mung-tian's rich imagination.

  Seeing Yin Mengtian and others like this, Ye Chen also didn't dare to say more. Looking far away, he thought for a moment, and unexpectedly even the Demon King-level super masters had come to Di Zongqiong Building. If they continued on their way, it would definitely be fraught with danger. Should they go or not?

  "Ali, why did that demon king retreat so easily?" Ye Chen asked in a low voice beside Ali.

  The raccoon dog transmitted some information over with its spiritual soul.

  "Are you saying that my soul's intent is different from theirs, and it even scared the demon king away? Or perhaps the demon king encountered an emergency and retreated directly?" Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "My soul's intent is indeed different. Who else besides me has cultivated a soul's intent as a human? I don't know if I can deceive the demon king." This was also why Ye Chen called his own soul's intent 'divine soul'. His soul's intent originated from humanity's divine wisdom, and it was distinct from the soul's intent of the mysterious beasts. He could clearly feel the difference.

  No matter what, the demon king finally retreated, and Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a hint of lucky survival. It seemed that even with his divine soul, the demon king wasn't as easy to deceive as he thought. If he encountered some extraordinary masters, he might be exposed, and by then, he wouldn't even know how he died!

  "Prince Wang, I think you should go back. If something unexpected happens to you, what will the people of Yinbei do?" Zhang Hu looked at Yin Mung-tian and said sincerely.

  "Yes, Your Highness, you should go back. If it's really not possible, let us go in your place." Several guards said in unison.

  Yin Mengtian shook his head and said firmly, "This trip is unavoidable, Zhang Hu, you are the only son of your family, with parents above and a wife and children below, please return home and report back for me."

  "Your Highness, you won't leave, and neither will I," said Zhan Hu with a hoarse voice.

  Yin Mengtian was indeed stubborn. Ye Chen paid attention to the surroundings while thinking deeply. The demon king he met earlier was from Lang Wang Dian, but he didn't know if the demon king of Shi Wang Dian would come. There might be more powerful demon kings on this road. If he encountered a 10th-stage strongman or slightly stronger masters, there might still be a chance to survive. However, if he met those top-level masters, there would be no way out. Should he go to the underground Qiong Building or not?

  It seems that this issue should be carefully considered.

  Yin Mengtian looked at Ye Chen, Ye Chen's eyebrows were tightly locked, his expression was solemn, which also added a few more worries to his heart.

  "How many of the strong who went to the underground Jade Building over the years can survive?" Ye Chen looked at Yin Mungtian and asked.

  "A ninth-level expert can survive among a thousand people, and a tenth-level strongman can survive among ten people." Yin Mung-tian said. Ye Chen suddenly asked what he wanted to know. He didn't hide anything either, and honestly answered the truth.

  "It's unreasonable." Ye Chen thought to himself, a master of the demon king level would only need to sweep his soul with a casual glance, and even if a 10th-level strongman hid extremely well, he would still be slapped to death. Could one out of ten survive? He suddenly thought of the key to the problem, and his heart became clear. This underground crystal palace has many layers, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. A demon king-level master must have drilled down to the very bottom, and as a demon king, he would not deign to take action against ordinary 10th-level warriors. As long as one slightly restrained oneself, didn't reveal their divine soul, and didn't venture to the deepest part of the crystal palace, staying in the upper layers instead, they wouldn't attract the attention of a demon king-level strongman!

  Just now, Ye Chen was able to lure the demon king of Langwang Temple because he used his divine soul too recklessly, attracting the attention of that demon king. As long as he controls his divine soul within a small range, there shouldn't be any problems.

  Several figures flashed through the sky, surprisingly a few human powerhouses traversing the void, those figures quickly disappeared into the darkness at the end.

  "Crossing the void, those few just now were at least Heavenly Venerable-level experts." Yin Mung Tian's face changed greatly. Even Ming Wu Great Emperor was only a Heavenly Venerable-level expert, yet here appeared so many Heavenly Venerable-level experts.

  "It's also possible that they are from another country, I saw people from Nanman." Zhan Hu exclaimed.

  "It seems that the underground crystal palace has attracted many experts, even from other countries." Ye Chen thought to himself.

  It's said that there is a master from the Nanman country, Yin Mung-tian couldn't help but furrow his brow. If the people of the Nanman country were to get their hands on some ancient divine martial scripture, then the Western Wu Empire would be in even greater danger.

  "The underground palace has a total of nine floors, the first two floors are still accessible, but it's best not to go any further down." Ye Chen said, if they went further down and encountered an expert, they might not even have time to cry.

  "Since that's the case, let's just go take a look at the first and second floors then." Yin Mung-tian nodded in agreement. He also knew that with their abilities, it was fundamentally impossible to continue going down any further. The underground Crystal Palace had been opened so many times, and each time there were so many people who ventured into it. It's likely that the first and second floors wouldn't have anything good left either.

  "Let's go." Ye Chen said.

  Yin Mung-tian and others stood up after hearing Ye Chen's words and followed him.

  Ye Chen continued on his way, no longer daring to use his divine soul recklessly. He withdrew it and only revealed a hint of his presence when he encountered any soul sense scanning over, scaring them away.

  All the way they didn't encounter any trouble, and when they encountered some ferocious beasts, Ye Chen and the others directly avoided them.

  Suddenly, a loud roar came from the pile of rocks beside him, and a black panther emerged. The panther was about the same size as the Xuan Tian Red Tiger, with sharp claws and teeth that shone like steel knives in the dark.

  This snow leopard is good at hiding, and suddenly pounced out from the rock pile, and Hui's face changed greatly after seeing it.

  "Be careful, Prince!" Zhang Hu pulled out his xuan tie steel knife, rotated the xuan qi, and protected Yin Mung-tian's back, chopping towards this fierce beast.

  With a loud crash, Xian Hu's steel knife was suddenly slapped off by the lynx's front paw. A powerful force came from nowhere and Xian Hu's body involuntarily flew out.

  Even a sword made of the finest steel can be snapped in two, the crowd gasped in shock, it's a tenth-tier demonic beast!

  "It's a tenth-grade demonic beast, everyone be careful!"

  Yin Mengtian and others turned around one after another, formed a formation, and prepared to fight against this giant bear.

  Seeing so many people holding steel knives, the lynx also hesitated and retreated a few steps.

  Ye Chen saw the lynx, but his eyes flashed with a hint of excitement. A tenth-stage demon beast was extremely rare and could hardly be found even in the deepest part of the Lianyun Mountains. On their journey so far, they had encountered mostly ninth-stage demon beasts. The Ye family already had two ninth-stage demon beasts, so catching another one would not be meaningful. Ye Chen had always wanted to try whether his divine soul could capture a tenth-stage demon beast, and this lynx's appearance was just the right opportunity to test it.

  The strength of this demonic beast seems to be more than the initial stage of the tenth rank, at least it should be in the middle stage of the tenth rank. Ye Chen is excited, but still extremely cautious. If the divine soul is ineffective against the demonic beast, a mid-tenth rank demon beast would also be quite troublesome.
