17: Enter the underground cave and film the epic night!

"I will definitely not let Young Master down!"

Seeing that Gu Qingchen had almost completely handed the authority over to her, Jiang Yourong was touched, and at the same time, she decided that she must do her best in this Underground Cave Trial to prove that Young Master's eye for people was very accurate.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just perform as normal."

Seeing Jiang Yourong full of drive, Gu Qingchen knew that this Underground Cave Trial was in the bag.

A Golden Finger that specializes in stealing Opportunities is like a bug in the rules of the Underground Cave Trial.

Ye Wushuang has a Treasure-Seeking Mouse?

Is it very powerful?

My You Rong is basically cheating, how are you going to compete?!

"Young Master, let's go to the entrance of the Yeying Imperial Dynasty's grotto."

After recalling the recent Opportunities she had seen on Ye Wushuang and his group, Jiang Yourong suggested.

"Yeying Imperial Dynasty?"

Gu Qingchen nodded and said, "At the speed of the flying ship, we will arrive in an hour and a half at full speed; it's not too far."

Upon hearing the name Yeying Imperial Dynasty, Gu Qingchen knew that this was an Imperial Dynasty supported by the Ye Family on the Canglan Continent.

Although the Underground Demon Grottoes of the entire Canglan Continent were connected, the internal structure was very complex. To steal the Opportunities of Ye Wushuang and his group, it was best to enter from the same grotto entrance as them.

After passing through the Origin Qi storm layer and entering the Canglan Continent, Gu Qingchen steered the flying ship and quickly arrived at the Yeying Imperial Dynasty's grotto entrance.

"Is this the entrance to the grotto?"

Looking at the huge crack that appeared abruptly in the mountains below, a flash of curiosity crossed Jiang Yourong's eyes.

The crack was pitch black and bottomless, seemingly possessing a darkness that could swallow people's hearts.

Wisps of faint black Devilish Qi drifted out from it, and from time to time, black shadows flashed by.

"It seems that not long ago, Ye Wushuang already entered the Underground Demon Grotto from this entrance."

Upon arriving here, Gu Qingchen's powerful perception captured a trace of the aura left by the Xuantian Holy Land's exclusive flying ship.

"Then let's hurry into the grotto."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yourong became a bit anxious.

If they arrived too late, those Opportunities might be snatched away before they could get to them!

"Don't panic, they only entered about a quarter of an hour ago."

Despite saying that, Gu Qingchen steered the huge flying ship straight into the crack.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

As soon as they entered the crack, countless black shadows flew up, sweeping over like a sky full of locusts.

"These are Underground Demon Crows. They were originally ordinary crows, but after being infected by Devilish Qi, they were demonized into demonic creatures."

Seeing Jiang Yourong's bright eyes and curious expression, Zhao Linger, who was beside her, took the initiative to introduce them.

"Devilish Qi?"

"That's right. The Underground Demon Grotto is filled with Devilish Qi, and the species that live within are all demonic creatures."

Gu Qingchen nodded and added, "Among them, the more famous ones are the Subterranean Demon Race, the Subterranean Demon Spirit Race, the Subterranean Yaksha Race, and so on. The deeper you go into the Underground Demon Grotto, the thicker the Devilish Qi becomes, and the stronger the demonic creatures are. It is said that in the deepest part of all Underground Demon Grottoes, there are cross-boundary passages that can directly connect to the most terrifying Forbidden Ground—the Black Calamity Abyss."

While the Black Calamity Abyss was called a Forbidden Ground, it was actually an independent plane, an existence similar to an abyss.

Countless members of the Demon Race lived there, and the Devilish Qi that leaked through the cross-boundary passages alone had created countless Underground Demon Grottoes!

Thus, one could see how terrifying the Black Calamity Abyss was!

This was also the reason why Gu Qingchen was shocked when he heard that his Female Cousin from the Clan, Gu Sangning, who had her eyes dug out, dared to break into the Black Calamity Abyss under the leadership of an old servant.

If she could still return alive from the Black Calamity Abyss, she would undoubtedly be a Daughter of Destiny.

"Slap, slap, slap..."

Countless Underground Demon Crows, upon approaching within ten zhang of the flying ship, collided with a transparent wall one after another, exploding into balls of blood mist.

These Demon Crows living at the entrance of the grotto were the weakest demonic creatures, with an average strength not even reaching the Innate realm.

Even with hundreds or thousands of times more of them, they could not shake the flying ship's protective barrier.

Gu Qingchen steered the flying ship and charged all the way down, not knowing how many Underground Demon Crows he had crashed into and killed.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the flying ship seemed to break through some kind of barrier and plunged into a whole new world!

Above, there was an endless expanse of land, with winding mountain ranges and inverted, straight mountain peaks.

Below, it was also an endless expanse of land, with mountains and rivers crisscrossing, and a wild, ancient atmosphere!

"Gu Qingchen?! How could you appear here?"

Before everyone could recover from the scenery of the underground world, an exasperated voice came from the sky.

Shortly after, Ye Wushuang appeared before their eyes with over a hundred Disciples of the Holy Land.

"Dumb?"

Seeing Ye Wushuang appear, Gu Qingchen was not surprised at all.

He sneered lightly, "Do I have to report to you wherever I go?"

"Very good!"

Seeing Gu Qingchen treat him with such contempt, Ye Wushuang was initially furious, but then a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.

"I hope you are still this arrogant after the Underground Cave Trial ends."

In the Void Realm.

After seeing this scene, the Ye Family Protector nodded secretly and smiled with satisfaction, "After being suppressed by Luo Jinghong, Wushuang has become much calmer. Now he has the bearing of a true hegemon; this can be considered an unexpected joy."

"Oh?"

Beside him, an old man in golden robes had a strange tone, "It seems that you have already regarded the victory of this Underground Cave Trial as something in your pocket? You think that the current endurance can be countered by the future victory of the trial and the position of Saint?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

The Ye Family Protector waved his hand and said, "The fact that the Gu brat could get Old Man Han to come out of seclusion as his guardian means he definitely has his own unique merits. How could Wushuang possibly be compared to him? Let alone winning the trial and obtaining the position of Saint."

Although he said that, the smile on the Ye Family Protector's face indicated his true inner thoughts.

As long as Old Man Han did not make a move personally, he could not imagine how Ye Wushuang could lose this Underground Cave Trial.

Thinking of this, his heart stirred, "Old Man Han, let the young people's trial be handled by them. How about you come and taste this fine seven treasures heaven-returning wine of mine?"

"Haha."

Old Man Han laughed when he heard this, "You old fellow are afraid that I will give the Gu brat secret tips, so you want to hold me back? Don't worry, I'm not that shameless."

It was true that he chose to be Gu Qingchen's guardian, but if Gu Qingchen still needed his guardian to cheat for him to win a competition among his peers, he might as well go back to his lair to drink and sleep.

"But you actually managed to get seven treasures heaven-returning wine? Let's go, let's go, let's have a good drink."

Seeing Old Man Han agree, the Ye Family Protector breathed a sigh of relief.

This was truly settled now!

...

"It seems you are very confident that you can win this trial."

Gu Qingchen saw that Ye Wushuang actually endured his sarcasm, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

Then his figure flashed and suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he appeared behind Ye Wushuang and slapped down.

"Then I will be even more arrogant right now."
