High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 753

Chapter 753: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_2
 

“Your Highness, my name is Xu Yuan,” Li Yuan made up a name on the spot, somewhat helplessly saying, “I was captured unintentionally.”

“Captured? That’s really unlucky.”

“No wonder you’re only at level 34 and ended up in the Inner Domain; you probably aren’t even familiar with the various intelligence reports,” the Silver Armor girl’s clear eyes showed a hint of pity.

Li Yuan was speechless. The Inner Domain?

For him, there was no difference between the Outer and Inner Domains, except that there were fewer people in the Inner Domain, which could avoid many troubles.

But of course, Li Yuan wouldn’t explain any further.

The Silver Armor girl shook her head and said, “The trial quest was originally voluntary. For some reason, hundreds of years ago, it became mandatory to gather two hundred thousand warriors at the Flying Heaven Level every year… If not enough, they would go to various states to capture people…”

Li Yuan listened on the side.

According to the intelligence he had gathered, the survival rate in the Abyss Demon Blood Den was very low; of the two hundred thousand warriors at the Flying Heaven Level, less than fifty percent would make it out alive each year… Over time, the enormous number of Flying Heaven Level individuals in Abyss Country naturally became unwilling to participate.

Hence the capturing began, which, of course, was officially called ‘conscription.’

If one truly had certain backgrounds, as long as they revealed their identities, they wouldn’t be conscripted.

“If it was just a simple trial to select cultivation geniuses, there would be many ways to do so. Yet they insist on gathering a large number of warriors at the Flying Heaven Level every year, and the death rate is shockingly high,” Li Yuan thought in his heart, “This Abyss Demon Blood Den likely contains secrets.”

An enormous and invisible formation enveloped the area.

Those bizarre Ferocious Beasts… all indicated the special nature of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.

From what Li Yuan knew, in the Divine Realm, some super-powerful beings would often slaughter frenziedly for the growth of some special treasures, concoction of Elixirs, powerful treasures, etc.

Annihilating hundreds or thousands of planets in one go was routine.

Like the ‘Pseudo-God Soul Liquid’ Li Yuan had used before, it was made by refining the souls of Pseudo-God Powerhouses…

“Anyway, it’s good as long as I can safely leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den,” Li Yuan pondered in his heart.

… In Jiang Xuan’s eyes, Li Yuan was just an ordinary Flying Heaven with bad luck and no background.

“Your Highness.”

The burly man known as ‘Guardian Uncle,’ no longer having to fully control the Warship, stepped forward and said in a low voice, “We have escaped the pursuit of the Ferocious Beasts, and the identities of these three are unclear. For your safety, it’s better to let them all go.”

Jiang Xuan had not only saved Li Yuan.

During the recent escape, she had also saved two others.

“Both of you are at the Flying Heaven Peak; do you still intend to struggle in the Inner Domain?” Jiang Xuan turned to the other two Martial Artists.

The two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors looked at each other and nodded, saying, “Thank you, Your Highness, for the rescue. We still want to try for the Black Abyss Guard positions, so we will not follow Your Highness.”

Following a member of the Royal Family would make it difficult to hunt other Ferocious Beasts.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors turned into two streaks of light, swiftly leaving in another direction.

“What about you? Aren’t you leaving?” The burly man looked at Li Yuan, frowning slightly.

“Guardian Uncle, let him follow us,” the Silver Armor girl said, “Xu Yuan is too weak. We haven’t left the Inner Domain yet. Letting him go now, he would probably die if he encountered a group of Ferocious Beasts.”

“Your Highness, we still have to complete a mission. Having him with us will slow us down,” the burly man said gravely, “At level 34, with some luck, it’s possible to leave the Inner Domain… Didn’t he make it here by himself before?”

With Li Yuan’s strength and his Technique for concealing his Cultivation breath, it would be difficult to completely hide the Life Breath of the Flying Heaven Realm from other powerful beings.

But simply concealing his Life Breath from level 38.9 to level 34 would be undetectable even to an ordinary Demigod.

“Guardian Uncle!”

“This time, I don’t want to take the risk,” the Silver Armor girl shook her head, “Let’s return to the Outer Realm and await the end of the trial directly.”

“Not taking the risk?” Guardian Uncle was slightly surprised, “Your Highness, this trial is very important.”

“If Fang Uncle and Dong Li are probably dead, I don’t want any more accidents to happen to you. If you all die, even if I succeed in the trial, it won’t mean anything,” the Silver Armor girl’s eyes slightly reddened.

In her heart, people like Guardian Uncle and Fang Uncle were like family, having watched her grow up since she was a child.

“I don’t want to take the risk. Even without the rewards from this trial, I feel I can enter the Abyssal Emperor Palace for Cultivation on my own, just a few years later at most,” the Silver Armor girl’s gaze swept over the group.

“Your Highness.” The burly man became anxious, as he would rather die to let the Highness complete the trial quest.

The several Flying Heaven Peak Armored Warriors beside him couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, we are willing to take the risk.”

“My mind is made up,” the Silver Armor girl insisted.

With a sigh in his heart, the burly man knew the Silver Armor girl’s temperament; she seemed gentle, but was actually very stubborn.

“Alright.”

“Let’s set out for the Outer Realm and wait for the Blood Den’s gate to open,” the burly man said in a low tone, then glanced at Li Yuan.

Lucky young man.

The burly man did not care about Li Yuan.

A level 34 Martial Artist was just in the middle stage of the Flying Heaven; he posed no threat to Jiang Xuan at level 36, who was extremely strong even among those at the Flying Heaven Peak.

Not to mention threatening him, a new Demigod.

In the burly man’s eyes, since the Highness was kind-hearted and wanted to take him along, there was no need to make the Highness unhappy.

…

Phew! The Warship continued along the dim canyon, moving away from the forbidden area, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Guardian Uncle and those Soldiers were clearly familiar with the terrain.

Encountering some human warriors along the way, they all fled upon merely seeing the Warship… A Warship of this level was clearly for the children of major families to come and trial.

As for Ferocious Beasts? Any that dared approach the Warship, if in great numbers, were easily annihilated by Guardian Uncle with his Demigod Origin Power.
