Chapter 13 Thunder Valley, also known as the Villain's Headquarters
Master, why can't we go to Thunder Valley?
Thunder Valley is a dangerous place, and the people there are wicked. If you really want to go, I'll go with you.
But I didn't really want to go.
"...Then I won't go."
"But I've heard there are crystal mines there, Master. When will I be able to get a new weapon?"
It will happen.
Venerable Qingyun had a serene and unassuming appearance, and his gaze always carried a cool and aloof air. Yet, Chang Yubai, dressed in plain clothes, never felt any distance from him. He simply wanted to hear his master repeat himself a few more times.
Let me repeat it a few more times, until the day Li Tiansheng came to punish them.
I really want to hear Master's voice more often.
【If, Master, I mean if, one day I enter Thunder Valley alone and provoke a master I can't defeat, and you can't get to my side then?】
Why ask that question? Are you trying to sneak out?
[An assumption.]
If that day truly comes... you won't need me anymore. Yu Bai, did you... see something?
What did you see?
Did he see an ultimate villain opposing Li Tiansheng? Or a master who was about to die and sought his own demise?
Chang Yubai only knew that he was very sad.
He hates separation.
If fate insists on playing tricks on me, I might as well just kill myself along with it.
But that won't work.
He had tasted death, but he couldn't muster the courage to try it a second time.
[Yu Bai, if you truly venture into Thunder Valley alone, you can no longer hold back. Use your Void Spirit Sword Formation, use all the moves you created; you will surely overcome this difficulty.]
That's not strong at all.
[You will become stronger.]
Venerable Qingyun lowered his eyes, each word etched with nameless sorrow.
[Yu Bai, you'll become stronger without me.]
...
Xiao Li Qingyun was extremely anxious.
Lei Huang was on the verge of exploding, but Chang Yubai remained completely silent.
Why did this big oaf have to make such a stupid mistake at such a crucial moment?
A hand patted Li Qingyun on the shoulder.
Li Qingyun: !!!
Has the big, clumsy guy finally reacted?
Did his advice finally have an effect?
But when he looked up, Chang Yubai simply shook his head at him.
Xiao Li Qingyun's heart instantly turned cold.
Li Qingyun: We're doomed.
This is something we have to tough it out on.
Chang Yubai: We have no choice but to tough it out.
If it were just Lei Huang himself, Chang Yubai wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
A powerful expert at the Venerable Martial Realm can dominate the entire Martial Continent; who wouldn't dare to give them face?
But the Thunder Emperor had planted a bomb in his arms.
Lian Wushuang's greedy gaze remained fixed on Xiaoyun for a long time, making it impossible for Chang Yubai to feel at ease about negotiating.
He didn't believe that Lian Wushuang would let the two of them go safely.
Just like Lian Wushuang never intended to be absolute.
If this obstacle cannot be completely resolved, he and Xiaoyun will never be able to successfully pass through Thunder Valley in their lifetime.
Chang Yubai did not want to waste Xiaoyun's spirit ore resources.
He tightened his grip on the sword and continued his rebuttal, this time targeting Lian Wushuang: "Anyway, I know that if your Li Lang were a normal person, he would absolutely not be able to stand having such a vicious person as a partner."
"What did you say!" Lian Wushuang struggled to get up, barely holding on to her breath.
Li Qingyun: ...It's really over.
Master Chang, Brother Chang, are you really courting death? Are you so tired of living?
Li Qingyun inwardly wept: I don't want to die.
Chang Yubai: "I know what you lack. You need someone to go to the bottom of Thunder Valley and retrieve the cultivation pearl that the spirit beast is carrying in its mouth."
"I can go get it for you."
Lian Wushuang's heart tightened, and she quickly interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense..."
Lei Huang stopped her.
Then she looked back at Chang Yubai and said, "Continue."
"I've long heard that you're looking for a son-in-law with a pure Yang physique to cure your second daughter's congenital heart defect. Is that Mr. Li the one with the pure Yang physique that you've set your sights on?"
Sure enough, Lian Wushuang's face turned anxious, but she couldn't speak because of her father's restraint, so she could only stomp her feet in frustration.
“I don’t care about your sisterly affection, and I really don’t know Li Lang, but I have the ability to use Mingzhu to cure your second daughter’s heart deficiency.”
Lei Huang's expression softened.
"You want to negotiate?"
"The condition is that you CTMD don't act like mad dogs and bite people at the drop of a hat."
Li Qingyun, who just thought she was saved: Huh?
Should I swear at a time like this?
You really don't know the occasion!
Lei Huang's eyelids twitched, startled by the sudden outburst of anger.
His momentary distraction gave Lian Wushuang a chance to speak: "To hell with your sisterly affection! Li Lang is clearly me..."
"Shut up!"
"Hmm!"
Her mouth was shut up by her own father again.
Lian Wushuang refused to accept it and stubbornly tried to struggle, but Lei Huang couldn't stand it and knocked her unconscious.
Li Qingyun: ...One thing subdues another, right?
Chang Yubai sighed, "Everything has its counter."
Li Qingyun: Don't say it out loud!!!
Lei Huang's lips twitched again. If it weren't for the fact that he was the Pearl of the Valley, he would have crushed this arrogant brat long ago.
Thinking of that insane condition he had just encountered, Lei Huang fell silent.
Who would make such a sloppy offer, completely disproportionate to the effort put in... But this also gave him an opportunity.
It's only foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.
"Very well, if you can retrieve the pearl from the bottom of the valley, I will treat you with the utmost respect."
Chang Yubai: "Hoo—"
Great, we've successfully overcome this hurdle.
Li Qingyun: Where does success lie?
Li Qingyun: "Are you not even afraid of the Venerable Martial Realm now?"
Elder Quan Quan of the Xuanwu Realm, you are so submissive, while Lei Huang of the Zunwu Realm strikes with full force?
Chang Yubai: "I'm still afraid."
“But Lei Huang is cunning!” Chang Yubai patted his chest. “The more he wants, the more easily he is moved by external things. Even if it’s not a pearl from the bottom of the valley, but some other good thing, he can still treat us as honored guests.”
"The only problem is that the outcome will be terrible after using it."
Li Qingyun: "...Brother, did you deliberately get angry with him?"
Chang Yubai: "?"
Chang Yubai was taken aback: "Do I look like I get angry easily?"
No! That's not a good habit!
This was already a prerequisite for Li Tiansheng to send him away in a grand manner!
Li Qingyun: "You weren't very rational when you were sparring with Lian Wushuang."
"Lian Wushuang?" Chang Yubai refused to accept this statement: "I will not disobey my master's instructions."
Li Qingyun did not believe it.
But Chang Yubai shattered his doubts with just one sentence.
"I told you I would protect you."
He dared to abandon the chaotic battles of Yan Kingdom to venture into the Valley of Villains, so he must have the ability to succeed.
He said he could protect Xiaoyun, and he would do everything in his power to do so.
He would not allow his master's life to be threatened a second time.
He, Chang Yubai, is a man who has died twice.
No one understood the sorrow of death better than him.
Therefore, he absolutely, absolutely will not let death seize his master for even a moment again!
Absolutely not!
...
Lei Huang did indeed treat them with the utmost courtesy.
After traveling for many days, Li Qingyun finally got to sit on a soft couch. She leaned back and sprawled out on the bed.
Li Qingyun was so comfortable that she didn't want to open her eyes.
How wonderful it would be to sleep in a bed like this every day.
"Do you like it? Why don't you take the bed with you?" Chang Yubai suddenly had a brilliant idea.
Li Qingyun: "What kind of cultivator would bring a bed when they travel..."
He was also impressed by Brother Chang's unpredictable and whimsical nature.
Chang Yubai: "Lei Huang won't mind."
Li Qingyun: "...It's probably because he minds that there's a problem."
Why would someone at the Venerable Martial Realm bother with sharing a bed with you?
Li Qingyun remained sprawled on the bed: "It's a good thing you had the ability to retrieve the pearl. I thought we were really going to die. Brother, you scared me to death the whole way. Next time you have a trump card, could you please tell me first?"
Chang Yubai: "..."
"elder brother?"
Chang Yubai: "It's not over yet."
"!!!" Li Qingyun was so frightened that she suddenly stood up.
A black heavy sword suddenly fell into Xiao Li Qingyun's arms.
It was the Black Scale Sword that Chang Yubai used with great pleasure.
"There are several teleportation talismans and two teleportation scrolls hidden in the scabbard. They can be used by injecting spiritual power into them."
"If anything happens while I'm at the bottom of the valley, don't wait for me to come back, just escape."
"Head southeast, there are ten large cities in total. The teleportation scroll covers two cities, so don't use it unless it's a critical moment. The teleportation range of the teleportation talisman is related to the amount of spiritual power injected, and it can only travel up to a hundred meters. Don't overuse it."
"The move you used against Lian Wushuang is too damaging to your body. Once you're in a weakened state, it will slow down your escape. Don't use it."
"And there's the Black Scale Sword, which can suppress evil spirits and also resist some heavenly lightning. If you see lightning about to strike, just hold the sword above your head..."
"Brother," Li Qingyun asked weakly, "Are you making up your will?"
Chang Yubai card shell.
"Brother, please... don't die. I'm scared. Without you, I can't escape." Li Qingyun bit her lower lip, trying to move Chang Yubai with her pitiful appearance.
At least, don't go for the kind of life-for-life exchange.
He'll never forget that guy.
"You won't die." Chang Yubai's explanation was brief.
As if his own affairs were not worth mentioning, he quickly returned to the topic of the Thunder Emperor.
"The Lei family are not kind-hearted people. Rather than believing that they will treat you with courtesy, you should spend your time imagining how you will die a miserable death."
"Lian Wushuang has her eye on you, and there's an 80% chance she won't let you get away when you're alone."
"As for the Thunder Emperor... he is even less trustworthy."
This is based on Chang Yubai's actual experience.
In his previous life, Chang Yubai believed Lian Fengye's words, thinking that this man was genuinely kind to him out of respect for his master, and that he called himself uncle and treated him warmly.
Chang Yubai was indeed well taken care of, and Liaowangzong never forgot to take time to satisfy his needs while he was busy serving him.
So what's the cost?
After being treated to a good meal, he was immediately thrown into the Valley Peak Thunder Pool and almost refined into dust.
If his master hadn't noticed the deficiency in his natal spirit lamp and arrived in time...
Unfortunately, this time no one will fly all the way to support me.
Li Qingyun was unaware of Chang Yubai's experiences. When she heard him say that the Lian father and daughter were not good people, she subconsciously shrank back and trembled, feeling only fear.
"Brother, are you really... not going to die?"
"I still want to meet you at the crooked-necked tree outside Thunder Valley. I won't leave you behind."
"Moreover," Chang Yubai patted the mustard seed space, "Master is still here with me, and I still need to take him home."
Li Qingyun was finally relieved.
When it comes to the matter of his master's burial, Chang Yubai would never try to fool anyone.
Master Chang probably doesn't even know that every time he mentions his grandmaster in his pocket, his expression softens and changes, which shows how important that grandmaster is to him.
Knowing that the big, clumsy guy had another trump card, Li Qingyun was no longer in a hurry, and her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, returned to its normal place.
Lei Huang and his daughter refreshed his impression of villains, and he also picked out and pondered the details.
Li Qingyun couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder what kind of person that Li Lang is, that he was able to escape from under the noses of those two ruthless people, and that Miss Lian is still so infatuated with him."
Chang Yubai instinctively replied, "I don't know."
Then:"……"
Chang Yubai turned around abruptly: "Li Lang?!?!?!"
Li Qingyun: "...Otherwise what?"
What's gotten into this big, clumsy guy all of a sudden?
Li Qingyun even looked behind her: she didn't see a third person.
Chang Yubai: Li Lang! His surname is Li!
No, no way, it can't be the Li he's thinking of, right?
...
Unlike the banter between the master and disciple in the guest room, the father and daughter on the summit of Wangzong Peak each had a somber expression.
Lian Wushuang was still unconvinced: "Father! Why did you let him go? He's not a pure Yang body. You don't actually believe he can retrieve the Suspended Spirit Pearl, do you?"
"And Lian Wumiao, with that wretched body of hers, she should just die. She doesn't deserve such good things. Why do you care about her, Father?"
Lian Fengye scolded, "Stop talking nonsense, that's your own sister!"
My younger sister?
They were scolding their own sister!
Lian Wushuang was envious and jealous, but seeing her father's anger, she dared not continue to disobey him.
"Tsk." Lian Wushuang suppressed her emotions. "I understand."
Yet, a surge of emotions welled up within him: Lian Wumiao!!!
You've stolen Li Lang and your father, and even a complete stranger from the cultivation world is willing to brave the valley for you—why should you do this?
Why should all men love you?!
Lian Wushuang clenched her teeth, then suddenly remembered something: "Father, that Wood Spirit..."
"I know, I know." Lei Huang was already impatient after hearing her repeat it several times. "It's yours then."
Lian Wushuang felt joy again.
"Hmph," Thunder Emperor scoffed.
That short-sighted daughter of yours, doesn't she see what nonsense she's spouting? Who said only those with a pure Yang constitution can obtain the Suspended Spirit Pearl? The trial at the bottom of the valley is the real challenge.
He thought the young man with the child had great potential.
Whether his abilities are real or not, I won't lose out anyway.
Lian Fengye flew away with his hands behind his back, his mind already unconsciously conjuring up images of possessing the Pearl at the bottom of the valley.
The Spirit Pearl! If he were to use such a treasure for cultivation, he could even attempt to reach the ninth level of the Venerable Martial Realm.
At that time, the entire Guanwu Continent will revere him as the chief of the Venerable Martial Realm. How glorious that will be!
Lian Wushuang remained at the valley peak, overjoyed that her father was willing to give her the precious Wood Spirit bloodline.
I was pleasantly surprised and relieved at the same time.
"Thank goodness, Father doesn't intend to give the Wood Spirit bloodline to Lian Wumiao as well."
"Hmph!" Mentioning her thorn in her side, Lian Wushuang grinned angrily again, "That brat, doesn't she even consider whether her fate is worthy of cultivation!"
"He has a flawed mind, he was never born to be a cultivator, why doesn't he just die sooner? He's such a nuisance!"
After cursing, she imitated Lian Fengye's arrogant attitude, snorted coldly, and walked down the peak.
