God of Pets-Chapter 698: Earth Evil Abyss

The Secret Spirit Area chosen by Chen Guan is called the Earth Evil Abyss. The environment there is very special; it's not suitable for large-scale battles, but it contains an abundance of high-level Secret Spirits, almost all at the Sixth Sense level.

It can be said that it is a forbidden zone for humans, and even top-level Sixth Awakening Powerhouses wouldn't venture there lightly.

Of course, the most crucial point is that this Earth Evil Abyss is not within Chen Guan's sphere of influence.

When using resources, of course he would use others' resources. Isn't it more favorable to keep the family's resources for his own followers to use?

The Earth Evil Abyss lies within the Shang Family's territory, making it hard to say this wasn't deliberate on Chen Guan's part.

Although the Shang Family later did not participate in the Gong Family's actions against Purple Sun City, Chen Guan still remembered their previous conduct.

If it weren't for the fear of thoroughly angering the Ten Great Families, causing them to join forces against Purple Sun City, Chen Guan would have gone to demand compensation from the Shang Family long ago.

After the battle of Purple Sun City, Chen Guan remained relatively clear-headed.

The foundations of the Ten Great Families are too deep. If they were determined to destroy him, even if not all ten acted in unison, just a few working together would be enough to give him trouble.

Personally, he might be fine, but the empire he worked so hard to build would likely be completely destroyed.

Chen Guan needs to strengthen his forces to the extent that they can retaliate against the Ten Great Families before he can act without restraint.

With Fujimura Reiko and Mr. Xiao managing his own territory, Chen Guan was at ease. His primary task was still to improve himself.

Arriving at the Earth Evil Abyss, Chen Guan flew directly in, immediately hearing the sounds of battle within.

Floating to the scene of the battle, because of the persistent miasma in the Earth Evil Abyss, the thousand-mile eye was useless beyond a certain distance.

Upon arrival, Chen Guan discovered that the person fighting in the Earth Evil Abyss was an old acquaintance.

"Shang Ziyi... he's also come to the Grotto Heaven..." Chen Guan was surprised not because of Shang Ziyi's rapid ascent.

With the high difficulty of Chen Guan's Secret Technique of One, he was already at Sixth Sense, so Shang Ziyi being at Sixth Sense was nothing extraordinary.

In fact, given the Shang Family's resources and Shang Ziyi's talent, it wouldn't take much time for Shang Ziyi to reach Sixth Sense.

The reason that it is difficult for Great Families to cultivate powerhouses isn't because of a lack of resources, but because they do not have enough geniuses of their own.

Awakening the Secret Collection requires extremely high comprehension, and advancing to Great Cave Heaven similarly requires talent and high wisdom.

If one's talent is sufficiently good and supported by family resources, and since cultivation techniques aren't particularly difficult to ascend with, most descendants of Great Families upgrade very quickly.

What surprised him was according to his knowledge, Shang Ziyi's branch of the Shang Family bloodline was not favored by King of Shang.

An extraordinary genius like Shang Qingtian was kept firmly within the Blessed Land, not allowed to advance to Grotto Heaven.

Though called guarding the Blessed Land, isn't this also a form of suppression?

Rumor has it Shang Qingtian was now allowed to advance to Grotto Heaven, yet someone still needs to guard Reincarnation City and suppress the Blessed Land.

Chen Guan originally thought this task would still fall to the Shang Qingtian bloodline, with Shang Ziyi as the obvious choice.

Unexpectedly, he came to the Grotto Heaven and ventured to a place like the Earth Evil Abyss.

After a brief thought, Chen Guan guessed a few things.

The resources and environment near the Earth Evil Abyss are very harsh; could Shang Qingtian and Shang Ziyi father and son be exiled here?

With this in mind, Chen Guan descended to watch Shang Ziyi battle the evil spirits.

It must be said, while Chen Guan can use Martial Arts Rhythm, compared to Shang Ziyi, the smoothness and feel are vastly inferior.

Watching Shang Ziyi use Martial Arts Rhythm had a certain indescribable beauty.

Just like watching a basketball game: some players use all sorts of techniques but lack aesthetic appeal.

However, some players exhibit a beauty that is incredibly pleasing to the eye.

Amongst the assaults of the evil spirits, Shang Ziyi controlled the rhythm, defeating them smoothly, never missing a punch.

It appeared as though the evil spirits lined up to meet his fists.

If this were a game, those evil spirits would undoubtedly be accused of deliberately feeding themselves to him.

Shang Ziyi had already noticed someone had arrived but continued to slay the evil spirits before turning to look at Chen Guan.

"Zi Donglai." Shang Ziyi immediately recognized Chen Guan and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Looking at Shang Ziyi, Chen Guan couldn't help but sigh. He was no longer the same Shang Ziyi; he was taking on responsibility.

Chen Guan knew Shang Ziyi was worried, not for himself but because Shang Qingtian should be stationed nearby. He assumed Zi Donglai was contemplating something about the Shang Family.

"I am merely here in the Earth Evil Abyss to hunt Secret Spirits, nothing to do with your Shang Family," Chen Guan said with a smile.

On hearing this, Shang Ziyi relaxed his frown. Though he couldn't entirely trust Zi Donglai's words, their impoverished and treacherous territory hardly warranted Zi Donglai's assault.

"In that case, I won't disturb you," Shang Ziyi said, turning to leave.

"Shang Ziyi, are you interested in collaborating with me?" Chen Guan asked as he watched Shang Ziyi's departing figure.

"In what kind of collaboration?" Shang Ziyi turned around and asked Chen Guan.

"As far as I know, the Shang Qingtian branch isn't well-favored within the Shang Family, right? If you're willing to cooperate with me, I could assist in making you and your father the decision-makers of the Shang Family in this Pengxuan Grotto Heaven," Chen Guan had always believed his own energies and abilities were limited, and more allies would be welcome.

Unfortunately, the old interests of the Ten Great Families are too deeply entangled for him to shake.

But people like Shang Ziyi and his father might just be the crucial screws he needs to move the machinery of the Ten Great Families.

"The Shang Family has its own way of dealing with things. If you don't understand, that's your problem." Shang Ziyi wasn't about to discuss this with a stranger, and after a retort, turned to leave again, ignoring Chen Guan.

"We can talk about it later. For now, I invite you to join me in the Earth Evil Abyss to hunt Secret Spirits. Do you dare?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

Shang Ziyi paused, turning back to look at Chen Guan.

He didn't know what exactly Chen Guan was up to or why he was so intent on keeping him there.

Moreover, although Shang Ziyi desired to see Zi Donglai's capabilities, he had heard too much about him, sparking his own curiosity for comparison.

"This type of goading doesn't work on me, but I'm just curious to see what you're planning." Shang Ziyi approached Chen Guan, tacitly accepting his invitation.

Engaged in conversation, Shang Ziyi mostly remained silent.

Until they encountered another evil spirit ahead, he looked at Chen Guan, with an obvious intention to see him in action.

Chen Guan smiled, summoning the Evil Spirit Blood Sword, and with a single strike, those evil spirits were pierced through the head, their souls dissipating.

The now 53-level Evil Spirit Blood Sword made slaying these Sixth Sense evil spirits effortlessly simple.

Chen Guan's purpose here wasn't for these dozen-odd evil spirits; his real target was the Evil Spirit Lake within Earth Evil Abyss.

Within the Evil Spirit Lake, countless evil spirits reside; that is where Chen Guan intends to use Creation World.
