Zhou Yuanyuan went to Country T, actually with some selfish motives.
Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to investigate the extent of the Yin and Dark Energy present in the Nawa settlement before deciding whether to tell Wen Ziqing about Kong Ming. She would not reveal Kong Ming's whereabouts to Cha Rui until Xiaoyu found a definitive solution.
Anyway, Chaos Pearl is always clamoring for food, so if the dark energy really appears in the Wa tribe’s residence, it can be considered a good use of it.
After getting off the plane, Zhou Yuanyuan found a corner to release Cha Rui. The jade box could block spiritual consciousness, and without Cha Rui to lead the way, Zhou Yuanyuan would not be able to find the Nawa tribe's residence.
Cha Rui took Zhou Yuanyuan on a taxi from the airport and headed straight to the southwestern mountains.
When Cha Rui is not intentionally transforming into mist, his human form is well maintained, and he looks like an ordinary human. No one who has seen Cha Rui has yet to doubt his "non-human" identity.
When they arrived at a small town closest to the Nawa tribe’s settlement, Cha Rui and Zhou Yuanyuan got off the car.
The two found a secluded place. Cha Rui turned into black mist and led the way in front, while Zhou Yuanyuan followed behind with a flying sword under her feet.
It wasn't that Zhou Yuanyuan liked riding flying swords, but besides the Chaos Pearl, her only flying magical weapon was a flying sword. It wasn't clear if it was the Yushan Sect's lack of magical weapons, or if it was the entire cultivation world, but Zhou Yuanyuan had taken the entire treasure trove from the Yushan Sect leader, and found only two flying swords, while there were a vast amount of spirit stones and elixirs.
The Chaos Pearl can make one invisible and hide, and Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to be exposed in front of Cha Rui, so she decided to fly on her sword.
As the sword soared into the air, Zhou Yuanyuan began to regret the experience. The strong winds in the air were so strong that they stung her face as she flew into the wind. If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't quickly covered herself with a spiritual shield to steady herself, she might have been the first cultivator to be blown off a flying sword.
The Chaos Pearl had no idea Zhou Yuanyuan was hiding her abilities, and when it saw that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't let it fly, it looked rather unhappy. Wasn't it the owner's "royal flying machine"? Why had the owner ignored it this time?
The Chaos Pearl could only desperately recall whether it had done anything recently to displease its master, which made the master dislike it.
Cha Rui was anxious, and Zhou Yuanyuan was a highly skilled cultivator. When the two of them exerted their full strength, their speed was still very fast. In less than half an hour, Zhou Yuanyuan and Cha Rui arrived above the Nawa settlement.
The Nahua tribe's settlement is in a remote valley, which is open and surrounded by several mountains.
When Zhou Yuanyuan saw the shape of the valley for the first time, she was so surprised that she almost fell off her flying sword.
Wow! Looking down from mid-air, the shape of this valley is actually a Tai Chi Yin Yang Bagua diagram?
Could it be that this Nawa settlement was once a cultivation sect? Or were the ancestors of these Nawa people themselves cultivators?
It's no wonder Zhou Yuanyuan thought this way. Throughout the world of cultivation, regardless of which sect, the Tai Chi diagram serves as their totem. Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to Liangyi, Liangyi gives birth to Sixiang, and Sixiang gives birth to Bagua. In the eyes of cultivators, Taiji represents the endless cycle of life and growth within the universe.
Zhou Yuanyuan stood on her flying sword, surveying the entire valley. She saw the Nawa settlement's left and right sides distinctly divided by black and white. On the left was a white yang fish, on the right a black yin fish. The entire valley was encircled by a river. Even more puzzling was Zhou Yuanyuan's long search, but she couldn't find a single trace of artificial carving.
This unique valley is actually a natural landform.
On the Yinyu side of the valley, houses were numerous, one next to the other. Even if only two people lived in each house, the Nawa tribe must have at least a thousand members. Sadly, the Nawa settlement, which should have been bustling and bustling, was now completely deserted. The entire valley was dead silent, and the empty houses seemed to tell Zhou Yuanyuan of the Nawa tribe's decline after its once prosperous past.
On the Yangyu side of the valley, there was only a temple built, and the surrounding area was empty land.
Zhou Yuanyuan guessed that this temple should be the temple where the Nawa people worshipped the "holy stone" that Chana had mentioned before.
The entire temple is built entirely of large black stones, giving it a mysterious and solemn appearance. According to Zhou Yuanyuan's visual estimation, each of these black stones weighs at least a thousand pounds.
The temple was majestic and towering, its gate arched and over two meters high. The stone pillars beneath the corridors were each one meter in diameter, lending it a majestic presence. The stones fit together so tightly that not even a crack could be found.
From this majestic and tall temple, one can see the strength of the Nawa tribe when it was at its peak.
It's a pity that half of this building, which took so much effort and money to build, has collapsed.
"Master, the temple collapsed just half a month ago. After the collapse, these dark energies emerged from the ground." At this time, Cha Rui slowed down, pointed in the direction of the temple, and said to Zhou Yuanyuan.
Even without Cha Rui's reminder, Zhou Yuanyuan would have noticed it.
This collapsed temple sat within the white yang fish eye of the Tai Chi figure. Wisps of black mist were rising from the ground, slowly but relentlessly, like flowing water, spreading outward along the valley floor.
"Ahhh! So much dark energy! Why do I feel so happy? No, no, this much food, I feel like fainting from happiness!" Chaos Pearl cried out in delight at the sight of wisps of black mist. The dark energy that filled the valley was like a feast of delicious food to the foodie Chaos Pearl.
"Pfft!" Zhou Yuanyuan burst out laughing, blushing slightly. It was her fault. As the owner of a foodie, the foodie couldn't feel the shame, so she had to blush on his behalf. Fortunately, Cha Rui couldn't hear Chaos Pearl's cries, otherwise Zhou Yuanyuan would have fallen off the flying sword in shame.
Cha Rui was startled when he saw the smile on Zhou Yuanyuan's face. Aren't monks said to be afraid of the dark energy? Why was this girl still smiling? Could it be... that he had misjudged her? Regardless, he'd try his best.
Thinking of this, Cha Rui gritted his teeth and fell like lightning onto the ruins of the collapsed temple.
"As expected." Zhou Yuanyuan sneered. She knew there was something fishy about Cha Rui. A murderer who acted like he was helpless and didn't want to kill anyone must have some ulterior motive. Zhou Yuanyuan had followed Cha Rui here alone, hoping to see what tricks he had in mind.
