468: C468 Zhou Family Origin

C468 Zhou Family Origin

It was unknown what material the bead was made of, but it was extremely round and smooth. At this moment, the surface of the bead was flashing with a faint blue luster, making it appear extremely eye-catching.1

"How is this possible..."

Seeing this scene, Old Woman was stunned. She finally understood why her mistress let Lu Chen go.

"Why did the Spirit Cloud Pearl react to his appearance?"

"Does he have a top grade martial spirit or some sort of special bloodline?" The bead in the beautiful woman's hand was not an ordinary accessory, it was a special magical equipment that had reached the upper rank. Without active activation, it either sensed a Martial Spirit that surpassed the upper rank, or it sensed a special bloodline. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a change.

"If I don't activate the Spirit Cloud Pearl, I believe Sanniang knows better than me what this means? "No matter who this guy Lu Chen is, he might be of some help to our operation this time."

A deep expression surfaced in the beautiful woman's eyes as she spoke in an indifferent manner.

"Eldest Miss, I understand." Old Woman nodded and didn't say anything else. Their mission this time was extremely important. If Lu Chen really did have the talent to sense the Spiritual Cloud Pearl, then it might actually be helpful.

"Next up, let's prepare to enter that place. No matter who wants to stop me, I want to obtain that thing so that our Zhou Family can return to its former glory."

The beautiful woman softly muttered to herself as she gazed at the mist-filled mountain peak in the distance. Her eyes were filled with determination.

After that, the beautiful woman and the others left after a short period of rest. Lu Chen noticed that the direction they were heading towards, was towards the core region of the Netherworld Valley, even if he had never come to the Netherworld Valley before, he could tell that it was a much central region from the terrifying ice-cold energy that was emanating from within.

Under such a powerful lineup, even if they were up against a level five middle stage Demonic Beast, they would still be able to force their way through it. In just two to three days, the group had traveled across hundreds of miles of territory, from the inner region of Netherworld Valley to the core region.

In the process, they had encountered at least a dozen Demonic Beast, the strongest of which was a fifth level middle stage Demonic Beast, just a step away from becoming Late Period Of Fifth Level. Only when the middle-aged man, Meng Zhi and Old Woman used their full strength did they barely defeat the Demonic Beast, allowing everyone to avoid a huge loss.

"If I'm not wrong, Meng Zhi and that old woman's strengths should both be at the martial arts Seventh Layer Of Sect Master, plus the five third or fourth heaven stage martial arts grandmasters. What exactly are they trying to do in the core region?" Lu Chen followed the fighter named Hu and frowned even more.

Furthermore, the air was filled with the cold yin energy that was very obvious at the entrance of the valley. This was the core of the Netherworld Valley, and the place was filled with powerful and terrifying Demonic Beast s. Everyone's advance had already slowed down, and every one of them was restraining their soul energy to the extreme to avoid attracting the attention of the Demonic Beast.

"Aooo!"

Not far away, there was an earth-shattering roar. Everyone stopped in their tracks, and they couldn't help but hold their breaths. A shadow as large as black clouds brushed past the treetops, leaving behind huge footprints with each step.

"What kind of Demonic Beast is this, it's simply as big as a mountain!" It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a terrifying Demonic Beast, even though it was still far away, but the ancient aura that came from the giant beast caused him to feel a sense of fear, like an ant looking up at an untouchable giant dragon.

It's a Demonic Beast with Late Period Of Fifth Level. If we attract its attention, then we will all die! At this moment, Meng Zhi's warning came from the front.

Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart also shook, according to his estimation, although that mountain-like shadow looked to be extremely huge, at least it was still several tens of kilometers away from the rest. But if it was the Demonic Beast s with Late Period Of Fifth Level, then this distance might also be within the former's perception, and he was not slacking in the slightest, hurriedly restraining his aura to the extreme. At this point, if the beautiful woman and the rest were to be struck by the Demonic Beast's fatal blow, it would be difficult for him to escape from its mouth with his strength.

Even a high level martial arts master like Meng Zhi had to be extremely careful. It could be seen that even they did not have much confidence in dealing with a Demonic Beast with Late Period Of Fifth Level.

The terrifying mountain-like Demonic Beast walked further and further away from everyone's line of sight, and very quickly disappeared into the horizon. Only then did everyone slowly heave a breath of relief, or else, even if they were very far away, the terrifying pressure would still cause them to be unable to sit still.

"Don't fall behind, let's speed up." Meng Zhi's warning sounded again in front of them. He was more experienced and prepared for such a dangerous environment. The beautiful woman and Old Woman both kept quiet as if they were rare.

Although they did not use all of their strength, their speed was not slow either. They had already arrived at a distance of seventy to eighty kilometers, and if it were not for the Demonic Beast's threat, walking in the air would have been easy.

"Let's rest here for now." Hearing the beautiful woman's voice, the tense crowd relaxed. Even Lu Chen did the same.

"Kid, there's still some water here. You should go for a while." Hu handed a kettle to Lu Chen. The core of the Netherworld Valley was contaminated by the cold energy of the Yin. Even if there was water source, it couldn't be used to drink.

"Thank you."

After a few days of accompanying him, he had become somewhat familiar with Hu and the others, and from his mouth, he obtained a lot of information. They were all elite guards of the Imperial City's Zhou Family, and although they said that they were guards, they were not that far off from their servants.

The middle-aged man was called Meng Zhi, the commander of the guards, while the ugly Old Woman was called San Niang, and the beautiful woman was the daughter of Zhou Family, Zhou Tong. According to them, Zhou Family was one of the few big families in the imperial city that cultivated martial arts, and in the glorious era, there were several experts of Martial King overseeing the imperial city.
