Chapter 948

The demon race had crossed over and descended upon the ancient road. It was foreseeable that chaos would arrive. This was a catastrophe for the humans of the Martial Sky Continent. The Martial Sky Continent that had been peaceful for tens of thousands of years would become a huge battlefield.

In the past, the great war between humans and demons had led to the decline of the ancient races and the disappearance of the four great races. This time, the demon race was fully prepared. What kind of damage would they bring to the Martial Sky Continent?

The first ones to face the demon race would be the trial takers.

This catastrophe would descend upon them first. They were the survivors. Now, in addition to the unstable situation on the ancient road, they also had to deal with the demon race. It was foreseeable that a large number of trial takers would die. But once they succeeded in breaking through the ancient road, they would become dragons and phoenixes among men.

When the demons descended, they would only do one thing, and they would only do one thing.

And that was destruction.

Let's not talk about the situation on the ancient road for now. Let's talk about the Earth Yuan experts.

They had reached the Jin family as quickly as possible. But after waiting for a long time, they still didn't see Zi Chen.

Zi Chen didn't return, and neither did the token. The Jin Family's experts, who were originally calm, slowly became anxious and uneasy.

Zi Chen had at least two pages of the Heavenly Book. This represented a great significance. They couldn't afford to lose this matter. Otherwise, the Earth Yuan experts wouldn't have acted. At this moment, Zi Chen hadn't appeared for a long time. This made the others unable to sit still.

The five elements families were a bit better. After all, they had been in an alliance for many years. They could establish a simple trust. But the others were different.

"I don't like to beat around the bush. That little fellow hasn't appeared yet. Jin family, please give me an explanation." The one who spoke was the Tyrannical Dao expert. He hadn't appeared yet. Only his voice could be heard.

"What do you mean?" The Jin family Earth Yuan expert frowned.

"The ancient token belongs to your family. But he hasn't returned. We need a reasonable explanation." The Sword Sect expert spoke.

"You mean, I secretly hid him and wanted to take the Heavenly Book for myself." The Jin family expert understood the other party's meaning.

A moment of silence was a tacit agreement.

"Hmph."

The Jin family expert coldly snorted. "We came back together. You know best whether I'm playing tricks or not. Once that little fellow appears, there will be energy fluctuations. Did you sense it?"

"Just because we didn't sense any energy fluctuation doesn't mean that the person didn't appear." A cold voice sounded. It was obviously from the Shizhi Clan.

Jin Family's expert snorted again, but didn't explain further. To be able to reach this level, they had lived for who knew how many years. A simple explanation was completely useless. Moreover, everyone's hearts were like mirrors, so there was no need for explanations.

"The ancient path fluctuated, triggering the natural laws, shaking up the restrictions we laid down until a hole appeared. At that time, the power of the natural laws was extremely unstable. That little fella was able to escape with the help of the command medallion, but he might not be able to return to the Jin Family." An individual from the Five Elements Aristocrat Family spoke.

"It's true that he can't return to the Jin family, but he can't be too far away from the Jin family. However, when we used our spiritual senses to probe, we found nothing."

"This can only mean that there is a problem with the rules. That little fella didn't appear here. I believe that as long as he appears, he will definitely be a dead person. There is no way he can escape." Another person from Five Elements World said.

Not everyone knew what had happened earlier. That was because they had to control the seals and defend against the attacks of the ancient race experts. Apart from that, the rampaging power of the natural order brought them quite a bit of trouble.

The one who spoke was from Huo Family of Five Elements Aristocrat Family. The gazes of the others all landed on him. One of them asked, "What exactly happened back then?"

"That little fella wanted to run. I stretched out my palm to catch him. Unfortunately, he seemed to have used a desperate method in the end. He shook off my palm slightly and ran away. However, my palm also chased after him. Even if I couldn't catch him, I could still kill him." The Huo Family's expert said.

However, he didn't know that as soon as his voice fell, the expressions of the people around him immediately changed.

"What? Is there a problem?" The Huo Family's expert was startled.

A ray of light flashed through the eyes of the Jin Family's expert. He said, "If it was any other time, there would definitely be no problem. However, you let the palm enter the transmission channel. This is a big problem."

"What big problem? Isn't it just the palm going out of control and changing from catching to killing? However, we only want the Heavenly Book, not the person."

The cold voice sounded again. "The palm going out of control, the natural laws going out of control, what kind of consequences will that bring?"

The Huo Family's expert's expression changed greatly. "Shattering the void. Damn it, how could I have forgotten about this?"

After that, things became much simpler. The void had shattered somewhere. Zi Chen must have fallen somewhere. Zi Chen's death was certain, but the Heavenly Book had become an ownerless item.

The various powers hurriedly sent people to search for him. They really wanted to see him if he was alive or dead.

Zi Chen and the devil ape fell into the mountain stream. Following the rapid flow of the water, they flew into the distance. Before the devil ape fainted, it had already shrunk to the size of a palm and tightly grabbed onto Zi Chen's arm.

The two of them followed the flow of the river and crashed into the rocks around the mountain stream. It was unknown how far they were swept by the current until the two of them landed in a deep pool.

With a splash, several meters of water splashed up, followed by a cry of surprise.

The several meters of water splashed onto a girl in the distance. The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She wore coarse cotton clothes with many patches. Her appearance was very delicate and pretty. At the moment, she was washing clothes at the edge of the pool. The clothes were large and had patches on them. At this moment, the water splashed onto the girl's body, wetting her hair and cheeks. She cried out in surprise and jumped up. There was a hint of panic in her clear eyes.

"Bing 'er, what's wrong?"

An old voice sounded. In the distance, an old man was running towards them. However, the old man seemed to have leg problems. He walked slowly and was even limping.

"Grandpa, it's nothing. It's just a big rock rolling down. It gave me a fright."

The girl called Bing 'er combed her wet hair. The panic on her face had disappeared. She turned and smiled at the old man in the distance.

"Oh, it's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine." The old man breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his pace.

"Ah, it's a person." The cry of surprise sounded again.

At first, Bing 'er thought that it was a rock that fell from the sky. This kind of situation often happened. However, after a short while, she saw a person floating up from the pool.

"Grandpa, come and see. There's a person in the water." Bing 'er shouted loudly.

The old man increased his limping speed again. Then, he saw a figure bobbing up and down in the pool. The rapid flow of water hit the figure, causing his body to sink and float up again.

Seeing that there was a person in the pool, the two were stunned.

At this moment, another wave of water fell and knocked the figure over, revealing a delicate and pale face.

"It's a young man. He's not that old." The old man frowned slightly, but he recovered.

"Grandpa, hurry and save him." Bing 'er said.

"Sigh, I don't know how far he floated. He's most likely dead." The old man sighed, but still went forward.

Unfortunately, the pool was very deep, and the old man's movements were limited. It was difficult to pull the figure out of the pool.

"I'll do it." Bing 'er rolled up her sleeves and pants and volunteered.

"Grandpa will give you a vine. Just tie him up. Grandpa will pull him out." The old man said.

Bing 'er nodded and slowly entered the pool. Wearing her clothes, she swam towards the center of the pool. When she reached the figure, she first put her hand under his nose. Feeling that he was still breathing, Bing' er shouted, "Grandpa, he's still alive. He's still breathing."

"Hurry and get him out."

Bing 'er began to wrap the vine around the figure. However, just as she was about to do it, she saw that there were many wounds on the figure's body. The wounds were almost all over his body. It was a ghastly sight.

Bing 'er's expression changed immediately. Her eyes were filled with pity. She grabbed the vine and gave it up. Then, she reached out and hugged the figure's waist. Looking at the old man, she said, "Grandpa, pull me up."

The old man sighed and pulled the two of them up.

Bing 'er's clothes were soaked, but she still pulled the figure to the shore with the old man. Seeing that there were more than a hundred wounds on the young man's body, the old man's eyes were filled with pity. "What kind of hatred does this person have? He actually cut his body more than a hundred times."

The young man was lying on the side. His face was pale, without a trace of blood. However, his breathing was steady, as if he was sleeping.

"Hey, what's this?" Suddenly, Bing 'er saw a round ball of wet black hair on the young man's arm.

Pushing the black hair away, Bing 'er saw a little guy that looked like a monkey. It was sleeping with its eyes closed, but its arms were tightly wrapped around the young man's arm.

"This is a little monkey, and it's still breathing." Bing 'er's face was filled with curiosity.

"Let's get him back first." The old man said.

It was obvious that the old man and the young man couldn't carry the young man back. Thus, the old man went out to find someone. Soon, a young man about 76 or 77 years old arrived.

"Old Zhang, where is he?" The young man asked.

"Just ahead." Old Zhang said.

The young man frowned and said, "Old Zhang, this road is not easy. You want me to carry someone. To be honest, if it wasn't for Bing 'er's face, I wouldn't have come."

"Yes, yes." Old Zhang nodded.

"I've given you face, but let's make a deal first. Carrying a person back is not easy, and it's so far. You have to give me half of your bull skin." The young man said again.

"Okay, no problem." Old Zhang nodded again.

"Brother Xiao Fei, here, here." Bing 'er saw the two of them from afar and shouted loudly.

"Sister Bing 'er, Brother Xiao Fei is here."

The young man named Xiao Fei ran over. The road was not easy, but he ran as if he was flying.

"Brother Xiao Fei, I didn't expect you to come. You're so nice." Xiao Fei came closer and said to Bing 'er.

"Sister Bing 'er, don't be so polite with Brother Xiao Fei. Come, let me see where he is."

Xiao Fei waved his hand with a smile on his face, but his eyes were wandering up and down Bing 'er's wet body.

"He's here. Look at him, so pitiful." Bing 'er pointed at the young man.

Xiao Fei turned his head reluctantly. When he saw the young man, his face changed slightly and he frowned.

"Is he dead?" Xiao Fei asked.

"No, he's still breathing."
