Chapter 678: Enraging Them
"Sir, if you treat the royal family like this, I'm afraid it will anger them."
The guard leader said worriedly.
"Don't worry, they won't dare to stop me again."
Jiang Chen said solemnly.
He had just used his soul power to test these guards and found that they were not warriors.
In other words, he is just an ordinary person and has no talent for cultivation.
Since he is not a cultivator, he does not need to worry too much, so Jiang Chen is certainly fearless.
Besides, he didn't believe that the royal family would dare to kill him.
"Sir, there is a swamp ahead. It is easy to get lost. I advise you not to take any risks."
Seeing this, the guard leader spoke earnestly.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly. The swamp was not a serious problem for him, but he must not be exposed at this time.
After a moment's silence, he nodded: "Take me around."
Hearing Jiang Chen's agreement, the captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, under the guidance of the captain of the guard, Jiang Chen avoided entering the swamp area.
After walking for hundreds of meters, we finally arrived at the edge of a cliff.
"Sir, it is this mountain."
The leader of the guards pointed to a towering mountain in the distance with a serious expression.
"Is this mountain different from other mountains?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
He couldn't tell the difference.
"Well, this mountain is called Tianya Ridge."
The guard leader nodded and said, "There is an ancient temple on the top of the mountain."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. It turned out that this was the legendary Tianya Ridge. The thing he was looking for should be hidden there.
"How do I get in?"
He inquired.
"According to ancient records, the only way is to climb Tianya Ridge. "
The leader of the guards said, "However, I advise you not to try it."
Jiang Chen nodded. The Tianya Ridge was a thousand feet high and it was impossible to climb to the top.
The most important thing is that the area around Tianyaling is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will fall into the quagmire.
"I don't know who you are?"
Jiang Chen looked at the leader of the guards.
He always felt that the leader of the guards was hiding something.
"Please do not doubt me, sir. I am indeed the captain of the guards here. As for my name, you do not need to mention it."
The guard leader said with a stiff expression.
"oh."
Jiang Chen did not pursue the matter further and changed the subject: "What do you usually do here?"
"We are just guards."
The leader of the guards shook his head, obviously not interested in what was happening here.
Their existence is only to prevent anyone from disturbing the ancestors.
"Sir, I advise you not to run around anymore, or I will arrest you."
The leader of the guards gave a warning and turned to leave.
"There's something wrong with this guy."
Jiang Chen murmured as he watched the guard leader fleeing in a hurry.
Although this guy didn't say it explicitly, judging from his reactions, he knew the secret of this mountain.
Otherwise, he would definitely not leave.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen took a step forward.
"stop!"
However, he had just taken two or three steps forward when he was stopped by someone.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked back, only to see several young men blocking his way.
There were four of them in total, all of them were teenagers around eighteen or nineteen years old, with bodies as straight as guns.
And they all have the level of martial artist.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the restricted area of the Imperial City!"
The four people stared at Jiang Chen coldly and shouted at him loudly.
"I'm looking for something, can you please move aside?"
Jiang Chen said indifferently.
"What is that? You are a thief who came here to steal."
"Explain yourself quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Hearing him say this, the four young men became furious.
"This is a forbidden area. If you don't explain clearly, we will arrest you."
The leading young man shouted, and a whip appeared in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
It can be seen that they often do this kind of work.
Pah~
However, as soon as they finished speaking, they suddenly felt a pain in their neck and then fainted.
Jiang Chen stretched out a finger and lightly touched one of them.
"So weak?"
After dealing with these young men, Jiang Chen shook his head.
"These young men should be the Imperial City Guards, responsible for the safety of the Imperial Palace. No wonder they are so wary of me."
Jiang Chen smiled and said that this would save trouble.
Swish~
Immediately, Jiang Chen turned into a residual shadow and disappeared on the spot.
When he appeared again, he was already outside Tianya Ridge.
This Tianya Ridge, spanning over the steep cliffs, looks like a lurking giant beast.
"Sure enough, there is a formation here."
Jiang Chen released his mental power and scanned the entire mountain carefully, with an expression of surprise on his face.
Because he discovered that the entire Tianya Ridge was actually carved into a large net and arranged on the cliffs.
The effect of the formation is to trap people inside the mountain.
"Looks like we need to be careful."
Jiang Chen said secretly.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded throughout the valley, causing the rocks to shake.
"I don't know what kind of monster it is."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a ball of black mist flying towards him.
"What a powerful aura!"
Feeling the breath in the black fog, Jiang Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
The black fog was moving at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it broke through layers of woods and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Chen's face changed drastically when he saw the true form of the black fog.
It was a giant python, pitch black all over, with a sturdy body like a giant pillar, emitting a terrifying pressure that caused the space to distort.
Its mouth was open, its fangs sharp and shining coldly.
"Is this... a fifth-level monster?"
Jiang Chen was shocked, he recognized that this was a fifth-level monster.
"roar!"
The fifth-level monster seemed to sense his presence, opened its bloody mouth, and spewed out venom, corroding the surrounding trees.
Jiang Chen used the "Wind Control Technique" to fly out.
However, how could the fifth-level monster let him go? It chased after him immediately.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to change direction and fly to the other side of Tianya Ridge.
This time, the fifth-level monster did not follow, but instead perched on the cliff, staring at Jiang Chen with a fierce look.
"What a cunning beast."
Jiang Chen snorted coldly. He didn't expect that the monster knew he was hiding from it.
"We have to leave as soon as possible."
Looking at the ferocious monster, Jiang Chen did not dare to stay and flew deep into the mountains.
An hour later, Jiang Chen stopped and looked at the towering buildings in front of him, joy appearing on his face.
"Is this Tianya Valley?"
Jiang Chen whispered.
At this moment, he was standing on the edge of a steep cliff.
If you take one more step forward, you can jump down and be buried forever at the bottom of the abyss.
The entrance to Tianya Valley is located at the bottom of the cliff.
"The scene here seems somewhat familiar."
Suddenly, Jiang Chen found that the scene here seemed to have been experienced before, but he could not remember it.
Buzz.
At this time, the barrier of Tianya Valley was activated.
"It seems that I can only go in but not out." Jiang Chen sighed.
"roar!"
A roar came from under the cliff, and the sound waves swept in all directions.
Jiang Chen's face changed slightly, and he quickly circulated the spiritual energy in his body to resist.
