Chapter 592: Cold Currents

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Five Human Sovereign Realm warriors went down the abyss while Zi Huanqiao patrolled nearby. Ye Cha stayed on guard. Lu Li and Lu Ling remained in midair above the abyss, waiting quietly.

Lu Li was breathing heavily. He was agitated. Even Lu Ling, who could remain collected at the end of the world, was worried.

Since four, Lu Ling had promised that she would save her parents. It had been 18 years and the idea had been on Lu Ling's mind for 16. The only time she didn't think of it was the two years when her memory was sealed off. For the rest of her life, she had been thinking of how to save Lu Renhuang day and night.

Time moved on. Lu Li and Lu Ling were getting more concerned. Sensing Lu Li's emotion, Little White had been behaving. It hid in Lu Li's sleeve, sticking out its little head and looked down.

The time for one incense stick to burn had pasted, then three. Finally, it had been an hour!

The Ice Abyss shouldn't be too deep. Last time God of Meng went down there, he came back up in less than an hour. This time, they had been taking a longer time. Lu Li and Lu Ling felt they could hardly breathe. Did the five get to the bottom of the abyss?

"Whoosh~

"

Abruptly, there came a shrill noise. Then five people flew up. Lu Li inspected with psychic power at once and was saddened by that he saw.

There were only five of them, the original five. His parents were not among them.

"Can it be…

"

Lu Li thought of something but he quickly denied the idea. Lu Renhuang's jade talisman of life was intact. There was no way that he had died.

"What is it?

"

Lu Li asked right away after the five flew up. Lu Ling looked at them and appeared to be grim. All, apart from Qu Cheng, were frozen. Their eyebrows and bears were bleached. They must be stopped by the cold currents.

God of Meng said, shaking his head,

"The cold currents there are too strong. The number increases as we go deeper. Qu Cheng alone cannot shield the four of us. We are frozen for many times and even our Xuan Energy is frozen. Without Qu Cheng, we cannot even get up here.

"

"That bad?

"

Lu Li and Ye Cha were taken aback. Even Lu Li could blast a small hill with his Xuan Energy and he was merely at the Eternal Realm. Noble Lord Realm warriors should have stronger Xuan Energy and the five Human Sovereign Realm warriors could be able to cut open a mountain in one move.

Human Sovereign Realm warriors' Xuan Energy must be profound and transformed. But the cold currents could freeze their Xuan Energy? Then the cold currents must be horrifying.

Lu Ling didn't seem to be panicking. She asked quietly,

"Is there no other way?

"

"There is!

"

God of Meng replied, pointing at Qu Cheng,

"Let me and Qu Cheng go by ourselves. Qu Cheng will have too much burden if we all go together. My defense is quite strong. He will be okay if he only has to cover for me.

"

"Okay!

"

Lu Li answered anxiously,

"Then the two of you should go. Be careful. Don't take risks if you think it is impossible.

"

"Don't worry, Saint Lord!

"

God of Meng nodded. He and Qu Cheng looked at each other and went down. Lu Li watched as they went. Then he asked Hu Long,

"How far down did you go?

"

"At least 200 miles!

"

Hu Lang answered with a serious face,

"This place is odd. We've gone so far and we hadn't hit the bottom yet. Also…the further down we were, the more cold currents there were. They float around with no pattern and they are fast. We didn't have enough time to move away from them and we were frozen right away. At that moment, I felt like I was dying. It is the first time I ever saw cold currents so terrifying in my life.

"

Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other and they saw worry in each other's eyes. How did Lu Renghuang get down there against such horrifying cold currents? Their mother's realm was low and she was badly injured, on the verge of death. Could she still be alive after Lu Renghuang took her down here?

One more thing…

Their mother was dying. Lu Renhuang had taken her down the Ice Abyss to find some elixirs to save her, evidently. If there were such elixirs, she must be cured already. If Lu Renhuang could go down, he must be able to go up as well. How come he remained in there for so many years?

If…

Their mother could not be saved, Lu Renhuang should have figured out a way to come back up after he spent some time in grief. But it had been more than a decade and Lu Renhuang was still in the Ice Abyss, which confused the siblings.

Lu Ling thought about it and asked,

"God of Meng said that last time he sensed some Beast King was there. Did you feel the same thing this time?

"

"No…

"

Hu Lang and the other two Human Sovereign Realm warriors shook their heads. Hu Lang said,

"We didn't sense any life signs in there, not to mention Beast Kings. They should have strong powers. Maybe…it is because we haven't reached the bottom yet.

"

"Okay~

"

After that, Lu Ling said nothing else. She went back to quiet waiting. The three Human Sovereign Realm warrior remained standing in silence.

Time flew by. But Lu Li and Lu Ling felt it had taken forever. They felt the one hour was in fact several years.

Nothing happened after an hour had passed. With every second, Lu Li could feel his heart was pounding faster. The longer Qu Cheng and God of Meng took, the deeper they were in the abyss.

Two hours!

But Qu Cheng and God of Meng were still in there. Lu Li began to have some hope rekindled. It had taken them longer than usual. Were they reaching the bottom?

"Whoosh~

"

After the time for another three incense sticks to burn, two people flew out. Lu Li's rekindled eyes dimmed down again. God of Meng and Qu Cheng came back up with nobody else.

"What is it?

"

Lu Li shouted. God of Meng forced a smile but said nothing. Qu Cheng explained,

"We have reached the bottom and we discovered a tunnel there. But…there is strong Inhibition Formation at the entrance and we cannot crack it. So, we come back up.

"

"Inhibition Formation?

"

Lu Li and Lu Ling's eyes glowed. They never heard of any other powerful warriors who went down the Ice Abyss before. The Inhibition Formation must be man-made and it was highly likely that Lu Renhuang was the one who built it.

"Did you sense any humans' existence? Beast Kings?

" Lu Li couldn't help but ask.

"No!

"

Qu Cheng shook his head and said,

"No signs of life. The Beast King that God of Meng sensed lasts time disappeared.

"

Lu Li asked again,

"Is there really no way to crack the Inhibition Formation? Hu Lang, do you understand it?

"

Hu Lang and the other two Human Sovereign Realm warriors looked at each other, shaking their heads. Master of Lotus Society said,

"Qu Cheng once learned some Inhibition Formation knowledge back at the Palace of Sun. If he cannot crack it, then none of us can.

"

"Squeak, squeak~

"

Little White suddenly sneaking out from Lu Li's sleeve. It pointed down and squeaked.

Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at Little White in confusion. Little White was getting impatient after a bit and it jumped out and dashed to the Ice Abyss directly.

"Little White!

"

Lu Li was surprised. He said to Qu Cheng and God of Meng in a hurry,

"Go down now and protect Little White! Right…Inhibition Formations are ineffective to Little White. Go with Little White and have another look.

"

Back at the Tomb of Dragon King, many powerful Inhibition Formations had proven to be ineffective to Little White. Lu Li finally understood that it was trying to help him.

"Okay!

"

Qu Cheng and God of Meng suffered from the cold currents for many times. Nevertheless, they didn't hesitate at Lu Li's orders. They whooshed down, following Little White at once.
