Chapter 350 Demonic Sound From the Abyss
"Chizha Abyss? What is that place?" Li Fan couldn't help asking, as the name revealed an ominous atmosphere.
Ji Hongdao turned around and glanced at Li Fan, smiling: "It's useless to tell you now. You will know it when you get there."
"Although it's a bit dangerous, you don't have to worry too much."
"With us old guys here, nothing serious will happen."
Ji Hongdao was obviously very confident in himself and said disapprovingly.
Since Ji Hongdao said so, Li Fan naturally didn't want to continue asking, and he and Xue Mu stepped aside.
Not long after, the thin Shangguan Shi, who had met once in the Huanyu Villa, also came to the ship with five other people.
These five people were not members of the previous training camp. They wore the standard robes of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, with mature faces and capable manners.
It seemed that this was not the first time they came to this flying boat, and they were very familiar with its structure.
After greeting Ji Hongdao, they walked straight into the cabin.
When passing by Li Fan and Xue Mu, he also nodded slightly.
Xue Mu did not react to the other party's identity for a while and stayed where he was.
Li Fan also greeted the other party very familiarly.
When the other party's figure disappeared from his sight, Li Fan heard Xue Mu's serious voice transmission.
"Daoyou Li Fan, you seem to know them? I wonder what these people are like?"
Li Fan hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't know them. But we are all members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and we are as close as family. It's normal to say hello when we meet."
Xue Mu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute for a while.
Fortunately, the fat man Huangfu Song rescued him.
"Let's go, don't stand there stupidly. Almost everyone has arrived, and it is estimated that they will set off soon." Huangfu Song glanced at Li Fan, snorted, and ordered.
Li Fan followed Huangfu Song with an appearance of following the lead of his senior.
Passing through the cabin corridor, Li Fan found that many people had gathered on this flying boat before.
It seemed that there were not only the formation masters of the Strategy Formation Hall.
The bloody aura faintly coming from the monks in some rooms made Li Fan know that this mission might not be as easy as Ji Hongdao said.
The two followed Huangfu Song and sat down in an empty cabin.
Li Fan asked Huangfu Song with a smile on his face: "Senior Huangfu, can you tell us what our mission goal is this time?"
Huangfu Song looked at Li Fan with a smile: "You kid, you also know to be afraid?"
Li Fan generously admitted: "Of course, the courage of the junior can't be compared with you, senior. After all, senior even Tan Tai Tao and the others..."
"Stop! Stop!" Huangfu Song's face changed slightly, "You kid, why do you keep talking about Tan Tai Tao every three sentences."
His eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a dangerous light, and he carefully examined Li Fan.
After a while, Huangfu Song put away the murderous intent in his heart, and a smile reappeared on his face.
"Hmph, it's okay to tell you. Dean Ji didn't tell you because it's a long story and it's troublesome to explain."
Huangfu Song knocked on the table in front of him carelessly, drank a sip of the spiritual tea that suddenly appeared and was still steaming, and then said with a serious expression: "We are going to the depths of the white fog this time."
"The depths of the white fog?" Li Fan and Xue Mu looked at each other, slightly surprised.
But they didn't show it. They imitated Huangfu Song, tapped the table lightly, and drank the hot spiritual tea.
Listened to Huangfu Song's story patiently.
"You also know that there is a [white fog barrier] that spans the sky and the earth, dividing each state. Traveling through the white fog will consume lifespan. Even through the teleportation array, it cannot be avoided."
"So even if we are cultivators, we don't want to move frequently unless necessary."
Li Fan nodded slightly to show his agreement.
"It is precisely because of this reason that our understanding of the white fog is extremely limited."
"Most people think that the white fog barrier only appeared on the original land and existed as a dividing line."
"But in fact..."
Huangfu Song smiled: "The white fog is far more vast than we imagined."
"So if you have nothing to do, don't try to cross it with your physical body on a whim. Otherwise, you might get lost in the vast white fog and it will be difficult for the Heavenly Venerable to save you."
It was the first time that Xue Mu heard of such a thing, and his expression became a little nervous and solemn.
Li Fan thought about it and was not scared by Huangfu Song. He said: "Although there are not many cultivators who cross the white fog barrier with their physical bodies every year, there are definitely not a few."
"I think the vast area in the white fog barrier that the senior said is only a very small number."
"Otherwise, if it is really as dangerous as the senior described, it would have been noticed long ago."
Huangfu Song stopped talking immediately, and was embarrassed to be exposed by Li Fan.
But he immediately sneered and retorted: "I don't know how many monks who never returned in the white fog had the same idea as you."
"If you are not afraid of death, you can try it boldly."
"It seems to be only a stone's throw away, but it is like a natural moat, and it is impossible to cross. We call these places in the white fog barrier [Maze]."
"I can't reveal the number of mazes that have been explored for the time being. But it is definitely far beyond your imagination."
Huangfu Song saw Li Fan nodded in agreement and stopped being stubborn. He felt relieved.
He just continued: "Our destination, [Chizha Abyss], is a maze that was discovered a long time ago."
"As the name suggests, it is an area that extends infinitely downward in space, unfathomable and endless."
"Every once in a while, there are inexplicable sounds of surprise, desperate roars, trance murmurs, and other different sounds coming from the bottom of the abyss."
"Once ordinary cultivators and those with weak minds are tempted by the sound, they will go astray and their cultivation will regress."
"In serious cases, they will lose their minds and become inhuman monsters who only know how to kill."
Huangfu Song seemed to recall something, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Because this maze is too strange, once discovered, it was closely monitored by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"So the alliance also discovered that the sound coming from the Chizha Abyss was getting louder and louder."
Xue Mu heard this and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Louder and louder?"
Huangfu Song nodded: "Affected by this, the Eternal Immortal Fortress established by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance outside the Chizha Abyss has been forced to move upwards over the years."
"But in order to kill the influence of the magic sound within the range of the Chizha Abyss, the Eternal Immortal Fortress has no place to retreat."
"So starting a hundred years ago, the alliance began to try to use some special means to fight against the magic sound coming from the bottom of the abyss."
"Special means? Could it be..." Li Fan suddenly remembered something and his heart moved.
