Chapter 647 Leading Here
His soul power spread out and sensed the structure of the castle.
"Um?"
Jiang Chen showed a surprised expression.
Because he found that the castle was different from what he had imagined.
He thought this was a palace, but it turned out to be something completely different.
The entire castle is built of huge stones.
Each boulder is the size of a fist, extremely hard, and covered with strange patterns. When put together, they look like a gigantic demon.
These stones are condensed from spiritual jade and contain rich energy.
Jiang Chen tried to move a stone, but it didn't move at all.
"I'm afraid these stones weigh more than a thousand pounds."
Jiang Chen was surprised, wondering how long it would take to refine such a large stone.
Not only is it extraordinarily heavy, it also possesses powerful defensive capabilities, enough to block attacks from the Tianwu realm.
Suddenly, the whole castle shook violently, as if it was about to collapse.
A deafening sound was heard, and a strong wind swept in.
"Oops!"
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat, he knew it was the outbreak of ghost energy from the Netherworld.
He immediately rushed to the room where the princess was, but unfortunately he was a step too late.
When he arrived at the door, the ghostly aura of the underworld had already begun to wreak havoc.
Jiang Chen immediately released fire to drive it away.
Bang.
At the same time, the door was pushed open and a woman ran out in a panic.
Her clothes were dirty, her hair was disheveled, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and her mental state was very bad.
"It's you."
The moment she saw Jiang Chen, she was stunned.
"Empress!"
Jiang Chen ran over quickly and supported Di Ji.
When he found that Diji had fainted, he quickly treated her and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Diji waved her hands and struggled to stand firm.
There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her pale face was filled with anger. "Why are you here?"
She didn't expect Jiang Chen to find this place.
"I……"
Jiang Chen hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I was tricked into coming here."
Princess Di was convinced that Jiang Chen must have just happened to pass by.
"We have to get out of here quickly."
Jiang Chen said anxiously, he felt like he was being watched.
"I have no strength left."
The princess looked grim, her body was tired and weak, and she had no strength to move.
"Wait, I will help you heal."
Seeing the princess like this, Jiang Chen didn't bother to hide it. He took out the medicine bottle and fed her a few pills.
After the pill entered her stomach, the princess' originally depleted vitality was instantly restored a lot.
"You also know medicine?"
Seeing this scene, Di Ji was surprised.
“I know a little bit.”
Jiang Chen said modestly.
The princess believed Jiang Chen's words and without wasting any more time, she followed him out of the area filled with ghostly aura.
“Hoohoo~”
After going out, Di Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and her tired face finally regained its rosy color.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Princess Di noticed the scars on Jiang Chen's body and frowned, "Have you been corroded by the ghost energy of the underworld?"
Jiang Chen nodded, and then briefly recounted what had happened.
"The Netherworld?" The princess was confused. Although she was a princess of the Diyuan Empire, she had never been exposed to the outside world.
"Then you should leave Diyuan quickly. Those guys are not easy to deal with."
Di Ji reminded that she had personally experienced the cruelty of that group of people.
"I can't leave yet."
Jiang Chen said calmly: "The goal of coming to Diyuan this time is the Netherworld Spring."
"Are you crazy? That is the holy object of the evil spirit." Diji said with her eyes wide open.
"So what if it's an evil spirit? As long as I can save you, I'll pay anything." Jiang Chen said solemnly.
Hearing this, Di Ji fell silent, her eyes slightly red.
"I know where the Nether Spring is. I'll take you there."
"Thank you very much."
The two rushed towards the Netherworld Spring.
"Do you know the location of the Netherworld Spring?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
"My father told me."
When talking about her father, the princess looked gloomy and full of resentment.
"Why did he send you to Diyuan?" Jiang Chen asked puzzled.
"My father said that the Spring of the Netherworld can save my mother," said the princess.
Jiang Chen sighed. This emperor was indeed cruel.
In order to save the princess, he even disregarded his own daughter's life.
“That’s not right.”
Jiang Chen suddenly asked, "Isn't the Netherworld Spring a product of Emperor Yuan? How did the Emperor know?"
"Diyuan was built by our ancestors." said Diji.
Jiang Chen suddenly understood and finally understood the history of Di Yuan.
It is worthy of being a continent from the ancient times.
Jiang Chen followed the princess and soon arrived at the core of Diyuan.
Here, there is a passage that leads directly to the underground.
"Is this the Netherworld Spring?"
Jiang Chen looked at the dark passage and became alert.
"Yes, but this is not the real Nether Spring, but a well."
Diji pointed at the passage and said.
Jiang Chen looked forward and saw darkness, but he could vaguely see a water trough.
"Princess Di, have you ever been in there?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
"No."
Princess Di shook her head and said, "I once sneaked in to take a look, but I didn't gain anything. Instead, I was contaminated by the ghostly aura of the Netherworld."
When she said this, fear flashed in her eyes.
"The location of the Nether Spring should be fixed."
Princess Di said: "The ghost energy of the Netherworld here is very strong, which should be able to ensure that the Netherworld Spring is not polluted. In other words, it is the ghost energy of the Netherworld that is protecting the Netherworld Spring."
Jiang Chen was thoughtful. He suspected that this river was the source of the Netherworld Spring.
What they have to do is to find the source of the Nether Spring and destroy the things inside.
This task is not easy and requires great patience. Jiang Chen decided to explore it first to find out the clues.
So they moved along the passage, passed through layers of walls, and came to an empty cave.
"Ghostly aura from the underworld!"
As soon as he stepped in here, Jiang Chen's face changed suddenly.
This place is filled with terrifying ghostly aura from the underworld, as if it were real, like sticky ink rolling around.
The ghostly aura from the underworld transformed into a dark cloud, blocking out the sunlight and making the place extremely dark.
In the ghostly aura of the underworld, corpses are floating.
Their appearances after death vary, but no matter their appearance before death or their tragic state after death, they are all chilling.
"These are monks who were killed by the ghostly energy of the Netherworld." said the princess.
Jiang Chen nodded. The princess had seen the power of the ghost energy of the underworld and could understand his actions.
"The ghost energy of the netherworld can devour people's vitality, absorb the strength of flesh and blood, and strengthen itself."
"Once you cultivate the ghost energy of the underworld, the vitality in your body will disappear and you will become a shriveled skeleton. This is the terrifying thing about the ghost energy of the underworld."
The princess said in a serious tone.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown when he heard her introduction.
If the ghost energy of the Netherworld really has this effect, wouldn't he die too?
His vitality and blood are drawn from the Heavenly Dragon Vein, and it can be said that he is naturally able to restrain the evil spirits of the Netherworld.
“That’s not right.”
