call out……
A figure flew out from the entrance of Tianyun Inn. No one else paid any attention, since there were many innate experts staying in Tianyun Inn. Only Manager Feng was completely astonished.
This person has an unfamiliar face and is clearly disguised.
Others may not know who this person is, but Manager Feng does.
He controlled everything at Tianyun Inn and knew everything about everyone who came in and out.
Just now, he noticed that this person came from Lu Tao's courtyard, and none of Lu Tao's group had the Innate Realm, yet this person could fly...
There are only two possibilities in this situation: either someone in that group is hiding their cultivation level, or someone has broken through to the Innate Realm, or... the Marrow Refining Realm.
As for concealing his cultivation level, he directly denied it.
After all, Red Flower Valley only has two newly promoted Innate Realm experts. If Lu Tao and his group had Innate Realm experts among them, why would they need to fear Red Flower Valley?
After ruling out this possibility, only another possibility remains.
"The Marrow Refining Realm? How did he achieve that?"
Manager Feng stared at Lu Tao's departing figure, his face filled with disbelief.
I just sold Lu Tao the news about the Marrow Refining Realm yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, he has directly advanced to the Marrow Refining Realm in just one day?
Who would believe that?
I've only ever heard of cultivation slowing down the more you cultivate, never of it speeding up.
This talent is simply too extraordinary.
"Oh dear, what a loss, what a loss!"
Manager Feng suddenly remembered the Grandmaster-level demon beast bone he had given to Lu Tao, and stamped his foot in frustration.
He felt guilty because he was worried that Lu Tao's aptitude wasn't good enough when he sold the information to him, so he gave the bone to Lu Tao. Now it seems that he was just overthinking things.
To lose a bone for nothing.
"Shopkeeper, what's the loss?" Two waiters asked curiously as they passed by.
"We lost a lot of money."
Manager Feng sighed deeply, full of regret, and then instructed the two, "If you encounter Lu Tao in the future, be respectful and never offend him. Make sure to provide excellent service."
"Shopkeeper, are you questioning our service?"
The waiter immediately replied seriously, "Customers are our gods, how could we possibly offend them?"
"You're itching for a beating, aren't you?"
Before Manager Feng could get angry, the two turned and fled.
The two knew that Manager Feng's instructions were for their own good, but they didn't understand what Lu Tao had done to warrant such special instructions from Manager Feng.
...
Lu Tao disguised himself and left Tianyun Inn, mainly because he didn't want to attract attention from others, and even more so because he didn't want Red Flower Valley to know that he was on his way there.
If Honghua Valley were to threaten Zhang Quan and his group, Lu Tao would be hesitant to act rashly.
Disguise can reduce a lot of trouble. Even if a fight breaks out with Red Flower Valley, Red Flower Valley won't associate it with him, and Zhang Quan and the others will be much safer.
Red Flower Valley is far from Mufeng City, more than 300 miles away.
Lu Tao's current flight speed is about 30 meters per second, and he can fly 108 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, more than an hour later, Lu Tao approached Red Flower Valley.
By this time, it was nearly dusk.
There was still some distance to Red Flower Valley, so Lu Tao stopped to regulate his breathing and recover his internal energy.
During this time, Lu Tao unexpectedly discovered that there was a group of people hiding in the shadows outside Red Flower Valley, seemingly discussing something and appearing to have some designs on Red Flower Valley.
Their cultivation levels were also quite high, with at least all of them at the late stage of the Organ Refinement realm, and three of them even reaching the Perfection of Organ Refinement.
Lu Tao didn't pay any attention. After recovering, he quietly made his way to Red Flower Valley.
He didn't fly to Red Flower Valley in a big way, after all, his main purpose was to save people, not to conquer Red Flower Valley.
only.
When Lu Tao was still 500 meters away from Red Flower Valley, he used his Heavenly Eye to search for Zhang Quan and the others. In his Heavenly Eye, he saw the overwhelming resentment in Red Flower Valley and the piles of white bones.
Not one or ten, but hundreds of skeletons.
Some were buried under the sacred grass as nutrients, while others were carelessly thrown into canyons and mountains behind the mountains.
Several of the corpses had clearly died recently, with hardly any flesh or blood on their bodies; their skeletons appeared to be nothing more than a layer of skin.
"Red Flower Valley deserves to be destroyed!"
Lu Tao's face was very pale.
He had long recognized the Red Flower Valley's cultivation techniques as an evil sect, but he never imagined it would be this evil.
Lu Tao wasn't exactly a person who hated evil, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel murderous intent.
He also saw that some human skin had been peeled off and hung on trees, swaying in the wind and making a whooshing sound, whether it was the howling of the wind or the weeping of vengeful spirits.
Lu Tao suppressed his murderous intent and continued searching for Zhang Quan and the others.
Through his Heavenly Eye, Lu Tao saw a large pool of blood in a canyon, where dozens of people, both men and women, sat naked. Their shoulder blades were pierced by iron chains, and they were weak and suffering from severe blood loss.
Guards at the Bone Forging Realm stood watch over the blood pool, ensuring that this group of Blood Refining Realm cultivators had absolutely no chance of escaping.
"This is truly inhumane."
Lu Tao gritted his teeth, feeling as if a fire was burning in his chest, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Lu Tao continued to use his Heavenly Eye.
After his clairvoyance was upgraded, he could easily see through some buildings, but seeing through mountains was still quite difficult.
Soon, Lu Tao found Zhang Quan and his three companions.
The four of them, along with six others, were locked in a large room under guard, forced to cultivate intensively. If they were caught slacking off, they would be whipped.
There are many such rooms; some are for people of the same gender, while others are mixed-gender rooms.
These people were all forced to grow as if by some kind of urgency. Red Flower Valley made these late-stage Skin Refining cultivators cultivate frantically, disregarding their own foundations, just to break through to the Blood Refining realm, generate Qi and blood, and then provide it for the disciples of Red Flower Valley to harvest.
"This small valley is like a living hell."
The entire Red Flower Valley felt to Lu Tao like a living hell, incredibly tragic.
The person imprisoned looked resentful, but still held onto a sliver of hope, seemingly unwilling to be controlled and wanting to find a chance to escape, but it was all just wishful thinking.
The people being cared for were expressionless, their eyes devoid of any life, like walking corpses.
They had all had their vital energy harvested at least once. After the harvest, they were skin and bones, with very little vital energy left in their bodies.
Then, Red Flower Valley uses the blood of demonic beasts, along with medicinal herbs, to continue nurturing them before harvesting them again, similar to raising Gu poison.
The method of harvesting is through the union of yin and yang, which applies to both men and women.
Either supplement yin with yang, or supplement yang with yin.
Many male cultivators originally thought they would enjoy a life of pleasure, but they were captured and taken to Red Flower Valley. Instead of experiencing earthly bliss, they suffered excruciating torment.
That one-sided absorption is not just about absorbing vital energy; it feels as if even one's soul is being completely devoured.
"Then let's destroy Red Flower Valley today."
Lu Tao silently made a decision, took a deep breath, and rose into the air.
"Who is this? What does he want?"
"Judging from his appearance, could it be..."
"Is he going to attack Red Flower Valley?"
...
The group of people in the distance immediately spotted Lu Tao. As if they had guessed what Lu Tao was going to do, they exchanged glances and saw the excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes.
They were people who had a grudge against Red Flower Valley, and all of them had relatives who had been captured by Red Flower Valley. Each of them wanted to destroy Red Flower Valley, but unfortunately, their strength was limited and they could not do it.
Now, Red Flower Valley has actually offended a Primordial Being, which has greatly excited them.
At the same time, there was some worry: "Can he, alone, defeat two innate masters?"
They knew that both valley masters of Red Flower Valley had recently advanced to the Innate Realm and were very strong. In particular, their cooperation was excellent, which would increase their strength several times over.
Everyone wanted to warn Lu Tao, but Lu Tao had already begun his attack.
Lu Tao was seen in mid-air, his left hand outstretched, and a bow instantly appeared, growing larger in an instant; his right hand gently rested on the bowstring, and an arrow instantly appeared between his two fingers, growing longer in a moment.
Buzz...
Lu Tao drew his bow and nocked an arrow, the bowstring taut like a full moon.
Under the watchful eye of the heavens, in the palace-like building at the highest point of Red Flower Valley, a man and a woman were each cultivating in peace, their cultivation reaching the Innate Realm.
Lu Tao aimed his arrow at the male cultivator.
call out--
Lu Tao decisively released his grip, and the arrow instantly transformed into a streak of light, cutting through the twilight, traversing a thousand meters, and piercing the palace in a flash, heading towards the bewildered man who had just opened his eyes...
