At this moment, Daoist Jiuji didn’t know what to do.
He did not stop the big scorpion. To be honest, he did not care about the lives of these fellows at all.
He only cared about Qin Chen.
After all, with Qin Chen’s help, he might be able to obtain great fortune and opportunity in Death Underworld Mountain. At that time, he would be able to complete his revenge.
But now, Qin Chen couldn’t come out. Then there was no point for him to stay here.
As such, he said, “Wait a moment.”
The big scorpion stopped and turned to look at Daoist Jiuji.
Daoist Jiuji slowly looked around at everyone and said, “Since Qin Chen is now trapped inside, maybe we really won’t be able to get out forever. I can understand your feelings now. Among all of us, my realm is the highest, so I’ve decided to go in and take a look. Only if I enter it will we have a chance to survive. After all, don’t forget that Death Underworld Mountain is a forbidden ground of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, and I’m the Holy Son of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect!”
Indeed, among the crowd, Daoist Jiuji was the one with the most authority.
Even without the map in Qin Chen’s hands, he already knew about the existence of the 800-mile River Lethe. Perhaps he really had a chance to save the Elder King.
Then, he walked up to the big scorpion. He let out a cold snort and kicked the latter back.
“Junior, watch your words next time. I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”
The big scorpion and the others did not expect that Daoist Jiuji would personally enter to rescue the Elder King.
In their eyes, Daoist Jiuji was an extremely selfish fellow. He had no choice but to cooperate with Qin Chen and the others for the sake of revenge.
But now, he actually took the initiative to enter the fog and rescue the Elder King. This changed everyone’s impression of him quite a bit.
The big scorpion smashed his fist heavily on the ground.
Now, he could only pray that Daoist Jiuji could bring the Elder King out.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chen seemed to have turned into a corpse. All that was left was a weak heartbeat.
His aura had become extremely weak. Perhaps if this continued, he would maintain sitting cross-legged and sleep until he died.
This was Qin Chen’s last resort. If he didn’t do this, he might not be able to hold on at all. At least now, he could buy some time and wait for a turn of events.
God knows how long had passed.
The people outside were also extremely anxious. Daoist Jiuji had entered the fog to find Qin Chen.
At this moment, Daoist Jiuji was extremely vigilant. He could feel that this fog was unusual.
He captured a wisp of fog and absorbed it into his body to analyze what it was.
In the end, according to the analysis of Daoist Jiuji, this fog seemed to be just a kind of energy. It wouldn’t cause him any harm, so he immediately relaxed a lot. At least from the looks of it, Qin Chen shouldn’t have any major problems.
After that, Daoist Jiuji continued to move forward.
As he continued to move forward, the view in front of him kept changing. The fog was getting thicker and thicker as if it was a sign of great danger ahead.
“Qin Chen, where exactly are you?”
Daoist Jiuji was moving forward. He didn’t know if he was heading in the wrong direction. The visibility was very low in the fog. It was as if he had already left Death Underworld Mountain.
If he was not careful, he would lose his way. Now, he could only brace himself and continue walking forward.
However, what Daoist Jiuji didn’t realize was that he was actually spinning in circles on the spot.
After walking for more than an hour, Daoist Jiuji finally realized that something was wrong. Logically speaking, he should have already arrived in front of the 800-mile River Lethe.
Yet, he didn’t hear the sound of water at all. What was going on?
Could it be that he had already lost his way and walked to another place?
If that were the case, it would be extremely terrifying because Qin Chen should be not far ahead.
There wasn’t much distance between them and the River Lethe. If he lost his bearings and went somewhere else, it was very likely that he would miss Qin Chen.
At the thought of this, Daoist Jiuji’s heart was filled with fear. Then, he frantically racked his brain for a solution. What should he do?
The thick fog that rose from the 800-mile River Lethe was something he had never heard his master mention before. In the legends, such a phenomenon had never happened in the River Lethe either.
What should he do now to find Qin Chen?
Daoist Jiuji didn’t know either. He immediately tried all kinds of methods.
Fortunately, it didn’t take too long for him to find a way to pass through the fog.
At this moment, he had condensed many illusions. The illusions seemed to be able to sense the power in the white fog and became even stronger.
With so many illusions, Daoist Jiuji regained a sense of direction.
He did not dare to stop for even a moment. He walked straight forward and released more illusions to determine his coordinates.
With this, he would be able to find the River Lethe. Following the River Lethe, he should be able to find Qin Chen.
Daoist Jiuji could not help but feel extremely horrified because he had almost lost his way before he even got close to the 800-mile River Lethe. He would’ve been trapped here forever, unable to leave.
One could imagine just how terrifying the River Lethe was. To think they had even wanted to cross it. Now it seemed extremely laughable.
Let alone them, even real quasi-emperor-realm experts could only die in the River Lethe. Who were they?
To think they overestimated themselves and wanted to cross the River Lethe.
With this thought in mind, Daoist Jiuji smiled bitterly.
It seemed like the only way left was to wait for death in Death Underworld Mountain.
Thinking of this, Daoist Jiuji’s mind was in turmoil.
Then, he saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of him.
Could that be the Elder King?
He wasn’t sure either, so he hurriedly moved forward.
At this moment, the countless illusions behind Daoist Jiuji had also become extremely powerful.
He did not notice this..
