Chapter 388 "Could there really be a master in the valley?"

Nan Muyin's doubts were dispelled, and she secretly made up her mind that she would definitely investigate carefully when they went in later.

Not long after.

The group arrived at Soul-Binding Cliff. Looking at the secluded valley filled with deathly black mist, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Shuangqiao hesitated, "Um...are we really going in?"

"Otherwise what?" Xiao Xu glanced at him, looking at the terrain before them. "It seems the warships can't sail in..."

Nan Muyin: "Alright, stop dawdling!"

Feng Yue nodded, carried Qing Yu out of the cabin, and led the group into the dark valley.

Not long after they entered, the soul guide and the extraterrestrial army stopped at the valley entrance at a leisurely pace.

"Are these people crazy? They actually rushed in without thinking?" Shi Tianxin was astonished. He was unsure of what to do and turned to Wu Han for instructions, "Sir, what do we do now?"

Wu Han glanced at him sideways, "Just go in, why ask?"

Shi Tianxin: "My lord, you are unaware of the dangers of this place. You must not enter lightly."

"No entry without permission?" Wu Han sneered. "It's just a bluff. Didn't you see those people went in too?"

"Um, this..." Shi Tianxin didn't know how to explain it either, as it seemed inappropriate to say anything, so she could only look at Ouyang Jue.

Ouyang Jue naturally understood and stepped forward to explain to Wu Han, only to be ridiculed, "A cowardly little fellow, incapable of achieving great things!"

Ouyang Jue: "??"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wu Han, chuckled, and echoed, "Lord Wu, please don't be offended. People from the lower realms are ignorant. Why don't you lead your men to wipe them out?"

Wu Han was well aware of his thoughts, and showed no fear on his face. He respectfully bowed to Xin Hun Yin and said, "Your Majesty, may I go?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Hun Yin gazed at him intently, pondered for a moment, and then said calmly, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Your subordinate will certainly not fail in your mission!"

As Wu Han entered the valley, the Soul Guide immediately summoned people and erected a huge defensive barrier around them, leaving Lin Chen beside him completely bewildered.

"Holy Maiden, what is this?"

Xin Hun Yin did not answer him, but stared intently at the movements in the secluded valley. He could not ask any further questions and could only stand behind her, feeling slightly awkward.

Suddenly, screams of agony erupted from inside the valley, startling everyone outside.

Wu Han, his face deathly pale, fled with his surviving subordinates. A few who were a little slower were grabbed and dragged back into the valley by "monsters" shrouded in black mist, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

"What's going on?" Lin Chen asked, his face full of astonishment, looking at the still-shaken Wu Han. "What are those things?"

Upon hearing his question again, Wu Han finally snapped out of his daze and felt somewhat embarrassed to see everyone staring at him.

At this moment, Xin Hun Yin spoke directly: "Tell me the truth about what just happened."

Seeing her composed demeanor, Lin Chen beside him suddenly realized that she had obviously known about the abnormality inside all along, but had not reminded the rash Wu Han at all.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine, witnessing once again the woman's wickedness.

Wu Han, unaware of the truth, replied with a face full of shame, "Holy Maiden, those monsters inside are withered and emaciated, they are living dead."

"Living dead?" Xin Hun Yin's gaze sharpened, filled with skepticism as he asked, "These things alone shouldn't have caused you such a sorry state. What else is so strange?"

"Yes!" Wu Han said with lingering fear, "When we ventured deeper into a certain area, we suddenly sensed two powerful divine senses. Just as we were about to investigate, we were pulled into a magic array, all our magical artifacts became ineffective, and then we were attacked and killed by those living dead..."

"Two divine senses?" The Soul Guide seemed to have grasped the key point, gazing into the dark valley and murmuring, "Could there really be a master in the valley?"

On the other end.

Holding Qingyu in his arms, Feng Yue followed the route he remembered and led the group to a safe place, finally giving them a chance to catch their breath.

After taking the pills, everyone sat cross-legged and began to calm their minds and regulate their breathing.

Hearing the outside quiet down, Qingyu peeked out from under her tightly wrapped black robe and whispered, "Feng Yue... put me down first."

After being forcibly carried off the ship by Feng Yue, he simply pretended to be unconscious in order to avoid the awkward gaze.

Feng Yue looked around, found a relatively clean rock, gently placed him on it, and whispered, "You haven't recovered your spiritual power yet, so don't leave my sight."

Qingyu pulled her black robe tighter around herself, gave a soft "hmm," and couldn't help but smile.

"Fourth junior brother, come here for a moment."

At this moment, Nan Muyin nodded to him, and after giving the Demon Lord a few instructions, Feng Yue turned and walked towards him.

"What is it?"

Nan Muyin stepped forward and whispered, "Where exactly did you smell that scent?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yue fell into reminiscence and pointed towards the collapsed canyon in the distance, "It's over there, but I can't pinpoint its exact location right now."

"oh."

Seeing that Nan Muyin was deep in thought and silent, he knew that he wanted to investigate, and continued, "After we are settled later, I will go with you to investigate. Do not act alone."

Upon hearing this, Nan Muyin was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Junior Brother."

"Hahaha, that's so satisfying!" Shuangqiao and his group, who had been scouting outside, flew back laughing. "You didn't see how pathetic they looked, they were killed so miserably!"

The commotion was quite loud, and they naturally heard it. They didn't expect the people to actually dare to chase after them, resulting in heavy casualties from their recklessness.

Instantly, the anger that had been building up in their chests eased considerably.

Xiao Xu: "Tsk, don't gloat. We're in there too. Who knows, you might be the next one to die."

Shuangqiao had been arguing with him the whole way, and her anger suddenly surged. "Hey, I finally understand why Xiao Huan is so unwilling to be with you. With your personality, you deserve it. No normal person would want to be near you!"

Xiao Xu's face darkened: "What did you say!"

Seeing that the two were at loggerheads and looked like they were about to fight, Nan Muyin stepped forward to smooth things over: "Alright, you two, with a formidable enemy at hand, don't let this ruin your harmony."

Cen Feng: "That's right. We should quickly conserve our energy and join forces to fight the enemy."

"Hmph!" The two exchanged a cold snort and sat down cross-legged to regulate their breathing.

Cen Feng shrugged helplessly, which made Yan Xiao smile and take his hand to rub it.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Yan Xiao simply lowered his eyes, making it impossible to discern his emotions. "It's cold here. The warm jade I prepared for you is still in the Hall of Lords... I wonder if it's been ruined by those people."

"It's okay if it's gone." Cen Feng looked at him shyly and whispered, "There's plenty of time in the future... you can find me another one."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiao paused in his movements, then reached out and hugged him tightly. "Okay, I'll find some more for you."
