Chapter 640: 640 | Across The Fog
Ye Tian Yun clearly remembered that his disguise was gone, and even the dungeon had identified him for some reason.
'And she must have received the message too…'
This meant she was aware of his name.
But right now, she was not even the least surprised that the person in front of him was not Ye Tian Yun… rather, Fang Chen, someone she had never met!
Unless…
'She knew that I was Fang Chen?'
He couldn't help but have a strong suspicion.
A low killing intent began to form in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
Even though it was just a suspicion, he couldn't let go of this, or it might cause trouble for him in the future.
'Who is she?'
He knew very little about this young woman, which ticked him even more.
'I should wait for the right time.' Ye Tian Yun concluded and stopped himself from acting recklessly.
Right now, they were not alone. There was a third party with them, and there was no way Ye Tian Yun would confront the young woman in front of the man who called himself Third Prince Ye.
For now, waiting for the opportune moment was the most plausible option for him.
'And I will have to ask before leaving this place….'
He had no other choice because there was a chance that this young woman might fail to cross the Soul Gate once again.
What he did not know, however, was that there were other entrances to the dungeon, and Gao Suyin was using the one present in Gao Clan's ancestral hall.
-BOOM!
Just then, another explosion shook the whole place.
"What is that Soul Beast trying to do?" Gao Suyin couldn't help but ask. She had almost stumbled and fallen into the river of lava.
Third Prince Ye stared ahead, "It's trying to break off one of the chains."
Ye Tian Yun followed his gaze, and he too started at the front.
Ahead was a thick fog, and a seemingly endless lava pool was there.
Even the floating rocks had now decreased a lot in number.
"What kind of Soul Beast is it?" He asked, "Another kind of would?"
"No," Third Prince Su shook his head, "It's a spider."
"A spider?" Ye Tian Yun and Gao Suyin were surprised to hear an unexpected answer.
'What kind of Spider is so powerful?'
Ye Tian Yun had never come across a formidable spider beast, in fact, there has never been a sighting of Rank Three or above Spider Spirit Beast.
'There's the strongest strength is venom and webs.' Ye Tian Yn pondered as he thought of the precautions he needed to take against the unexpected enemy.
By now, they had already reached the fog. The fog was quite dense, and the visibility beyond a few meters was negligible.
Ye Tian Yun took a fighting stance and tightened his grasp over his swords.
Even though a very powerful cultivator was protecting him, he couldn't simply relax and hope for someone else to protect him.
Behind him, Gao Suyin was already in her hunter mecha.
"Relax," Third Prince Ye spoke, "This fog is just a natural one, nothing dangerous. In fact, even the Soul Beast won't be able to do anything to you unless it's fully unchained."
"How many chains are there?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
"Nine."
"And how many are broken?"
"At least two."
Ye Tian Yun slightly nodded but didn't lower his guard.
His safety was in his own hands. There was no way he would ever be relaxed in a strange place like this.
Third Prince Ye didn't say anything. In fact, he was quite satisfied with the reaction of the two youngsters with him and even though quite highly of them, because this wasn't how a normal cultivator would react. Only those with outclassed wits and awareness had a clear understanding of their situations.
'I should look into this Fang Chen….'
He had heard names of lots of geniuses in the past years, but there had never been a Fang Chen.
'Unless he's an idiot from the Capital City….'
Even though Third Prince Ye wasn't actively taking part in the words of the cultivation worlds, he was still a person who understood the value of information. And with the forces he had, it wasn't difficult for him to know the ins and outs of the Lower Heavens, especially of the powerful clans and sects.
Usually, he wouldn't have bothered with this, but he was doing this for his son. He had prepared a lot of things for his son to make his cultivation path easy when the latter leaves on his journey.
However, a few months ago, when his son did leave, Third Prince Ye didn't give any of the gifts he had prepared.
This was simply because of a strong intuition he had.
His son… was not himself anymore.
He had changed. His aura had changed.
Therefore Third Prince Ye wanted first to stand back and observe. There was an undeniable feeling in his heart that… his son was not his son anymore.
"The fog is clearing!" Gao Suyin's call brought him out of his thoughts.
He looked at the front with a serious expression.
The Soul Beast here was not an existence he could take lightly. It was a Calamity Rank, this was enough to know about its strength, but no one knew what this was, that Soul Beast's heavily suppressed strength!
"You have come!"
Just then, a sudden shout shook the three of them.
It was a young woman's voice. However, it wasn't sweet and likable. Rather, heavy emotions of anger and unbending coldness flowed through the voice.
The three of the lava raised their heads as the voice had come from above.
Above their heads was a cloudy sky. However, the clouds were barely noticeable because something was even more eye-catching.
There was a face in the sky.
…
