Chapter 1685 Cave, Iron Chain!
The next day, Chen Xuan said to Sato Imi and Takahashi Yuri, "Tomorrow, I'm going into the depths of Mount Fuji with the Sloppy Daoist."
"We'll go with you!" Sato Imi immediately stated.
Takahashi Yuri also said, "I want to go too."
"I'm happy that you want to go with me, but I don't want you to go. It might be very dangerous inside, and I don't want you to adventure with me." Chen Xuan shook his head.
"Then... alright."
Sato Imi said with concern, "Chen Xuan, the depths of Mount Fuji are said to be very dangerous. You have to be careful!"
"You know the depths of Mount Fuji? Have you been there?" Chen Xuan looked at Sato Imi.
Sato Imi replied, "I haven't been there. Previously, Master Yamazaki designated the depths of Mount Fuji as a forbidden area and never allowed anyone to enter. However, I once accidentally encountered Master Yamazaki coming out of the forbidden area. He was covered in blood and covered in wounds, so I think Mount Fuji is very dangerous."
"It seems there really are good things in the depths of Mount Fuji." Chen Xuan was more certain after hearing this. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
That night, Chen Xuan did not sleep with Sato Imi and Takahashi Yuri, but was resting and recuperating.
In the evening, on the soft big bed, Takahashi Yuri and Sato Imi were leaning against the headboard side by side. Their black hair cascaded down their shoulders. One was charming, sexy, and alluring; the other had an exceptional temperament and was very aloof. They crossed their arms, their faces filled with worry.
"No, I absolutely cannot let Chen Xuan go alone. It's too dangerous," Takahashi Yuri said.
"But we can't stop him? And he won't let us go?"
"He doesn't want us to go, but I can secretly follow him. Also, Senior Sister, the house is up to you." Takahashi Yuri said seriously.
"Ah? You want to leave me alone at home? That won't do." Sato Imi was displeased.
"Senior Sister, how about this? When we get back, I'll give Chen Xuan to you for ten days. Is that okay?"
"Pfft!" Sato Imi spat. "Shameless! Forget it, forget it. Anyway, someone has to stay at home, so you go. Be sure to be safe."
"Okay!" Before she finished speaking, Takahashi Yuri disappeared.
Sato Imi murmured, "Actually, I want to go too. Alas, forget it. Who asked me to be the senior sister?"
At this moment, there were more official matters to deal with on the mountain. Sato Imi put away her thoughts and began to busy herself with work.
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and the Sloppy Daoist had already arrived in the depths of Mount Fuji. The surroundings were covered in white snow, and very few living creatures could be seen.
"Sloppy Daoist, are you sure there's an ancient tomb in the depths of Mount Fuji?" Chen Xuan looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but doubt.
"What? Don't you believe in this legendary Mount Fuji?"
"No, I don't believe you!"
"Believe it or not, I'll hit you?" The Sloppy Daoist said, about to take off his shoe.
"Okay, okay, let's stop fooling around. I believe, I believe. Sloppy Daoist, don't you notice that the surrounding environment is a bit different?" Chen Xuan suddenly said.
"What do you mean?"
"Watch closely." Saying this, Chen Xuan picked up a stone from the ground and threw it upwards. The stone fell to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
"This... you mean the gravity here is greater than outside?"
"Exactly. According to my estimation, the gravity here is about twice that of the outside. This is a very strange phenomenon, so I think we've probably found the place."
"Great! Let's hurry!" Chen Xuan and the Sloppy Daoist hurried on their way.
More than an hour later, they arrived in front of a sheer cliff. There was no path ahead, and on the other side was a bottomless abyss.
"How do we get across? Sloppy Daoist?" Chen Xuan asked.
"We should have arrived," the Sloppy Daoist said solemnly.
"Arrived? Sloppy Daoist, you're not joking with me, are you? Look, where does this look like an ancient tomb?" Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
The Sloppy Daoist pointed to the cliff opposite them: "Look there!"
"Oh?" Chen Xuan looked over. On the cliff face opposite, there was a cave. However, half of the cave was covered by snow and wind. If the Sloppy Daoist hadn't pointed it out, it wouldn't have been discovered. Moreover, from here to the cave opposite, there was an iron chain, which was clearly the path to the cave opposite. It's just that this path might be difficult to tread. Below was an unknown place, and a strong wind swept up from above. Once one stepped onto the iron chain, they would likely be blown off before they could even stand steady, falling into the valley. This bottomless abyss would be difficult for even the most skilled experts to cross. However, this was nothing for Chen Xuan and the Sloppy Daoist.
"I'll go first!" the Sloppy Daoist offered.
"Sloppy Daoist, I don't think it's urgent. The immediate priority is to deal with the tail behind us." Chen Xuan smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping towards a large rock not far away.
"Who is it? Come out immediately, or don't blame this poor monk for taking action!" the Sloppy Daoist said sternly.
"Don't act, don't act, it's me!" A graceful figure walked out from behind the large rock.
"Takahashi Yuri? Why is it you?" Chen Xuan frowned upon seeing Takahashi Yuri.
Takahashi Yuri scratched her head sheepishly, "My Senior Sister is very worried about you, so she asked me to follow you. Perhaps I can help with something."
"I think it's a certain person who is very worried," the Sloppy Daoist chuckled. Takahashi Yuri's face turned slightly red.
"Why are you always causing trouble? Didn't I tell you it's very dangerous here? You can't help at all by coming here."
"Chen Xuan, don't always look down on people. I am the master of Mount Fuji, a master at the Martial Venerable realm!" Takahashi Yuri puffed out her chest and said seriously.
Chen Xuan: "..."
The Sloppy Daoist's eyes darted around, and he said, "Forget it, let Takahashi Yuri stay. This cave might be the tomb of a legendary figure of the Land of the Rising Sun. She might be able to help us."
"Daoist, you are too kind. Thank you."
"Alright." Chen Xuan had no choice but to compromise.
"You say that's the ancient tomb you're looking for?" Takahashi Yuri had also heard the conversation between the Sloppy Daoist and Chen Xuan earlier and looked at the cave on the cliff.
"That's right. Do you want to show me?" Chen Xuan laughed.
"Bring it on, and let you see how capable this young lady is." Takahashi Yuri leaped onto the iron chain.
"Takahashi Yuri, don't be reckless." Although Takahashi Yuri was a Martial Emperor expert, Chen Xuan was still extremely worried.
"Chen Xuan, just watch." Chen Xuan's concern warmed Takahashi Yuri's heart, but she didn't want this man to see her as a mere vase. She wanted to prove her own abilities. With that, Takahashi Yuri headed along the iron chain without looking back. At first, Takahashi Yuri's speed was extremely fast, but after reaching one-third of the way, the chain swayed, and Takahashi Yuri had to slow down. She finally reached the middle position, but at this moment, a strong gust of wind struck! The iron chain swayed even more violently, swinging left and right as if it would break at any moment.
