"Ten Thousand Immortals Valley? Senior Jiang, may we go and take a look there?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu exclaimed in astonishment, "You're going to dig up the grave and examine the body?"
Chu Di knew that his idea was somewhat disrespectful to the ancestors of the Ziwei Sect, but he didn't have a better way to prove the existence of the person behind the scenes.
He simply nodded and said, "Please understand, Senior Jiang!"
But Jiang Mu said with a serious expression, "This is absolutely unacceptable. I would be ashamed to face the ancestral masters of the Ziwei Sect if I acted in this way!"
Chu Di gazed thoughtfully at the scenery on the mountain and said, "I've heard that this mountain is so magical because the Holy Son carved the character 'Dao' on its summit..."
Jiang Mu shook his head and said, "Young friend Chu, I would rather not have this Daoshan Mountain than let you do such a rebellious thing!"
Yadu angrily retorted, "You humans place too much importance on these elaborate rituals and etiquettes. They're meaningless and pedantic!"
"Hmph, this is our human race valuing loyalty and respecting our ancestors. How could you, a bunch of barbarians, possibly understand this?"
Who are you calling a savage who eats raw meat and drinks blood?
"Aren't you demons the same? You creatures born from moisture and eggs, utterly ignorant of etiquette and hierarchy!"
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Chu Di quickly stopped them, saying, "Seniors, please don't get angry. Senior Jiang, how about this? I still have quite a few talismans on hand. I can give them all to your Ziwei Sect as an apology for my autopsy."
"It still won't work. Brother Wuji took good care of me when he was alive. How could I dig up his grave for such a small benefit?"
After a pause, he said seriously, "How many do you have?"
"Not many, just a few dozen."
"I want a hundred copies, plus a favor from Senior Meng!"
Chu Di thought Jiang Mu was being ridiculous, actually wanting a favor from his senior brother. He was really overthinking it.
"Senior Jiang, my senior brother is unpredictable. Please reconsider."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu knew that Chu Di couldn't make the decision and also understood how terrifying Meng Fan was. He immediately said, "In that case, in addition to the dozens of talismans you have, I'll also give you the jade pendant you have, the one you used in Ji Yuan Imperial City not long ago!"
"Senior Jiang, isn't this price a bit too high?"
"Young friend Chu, do you know how much infamy I will have to bear if this matter is accomplished? My reputation will be completely ruined, and I will live the rest of my life in self-blame, tormented every moment."
"Then it's a deal. Let's get going now!"
Chu Di also knew that most people couldn't bear the thought of digging up graves. If someone wanted to dig up his ancestral graves, he probably wouldn't have the same patience as Jiang Mu. Therefore, he didn't say anything more.
"Old man Jiang, where is your sense of propriety and shame? Are you just throwing it all away like this?"
Jiang Mu took the treasure from Chu Di's hand as if it were a precious gem. Hearing Ya Du's sarcasm, he was not angry at all and said, "I am sacrificing myself for the sake of all living beings. What do you know?"
Just kidding, he would never dare to offend the Gold and Silver Sect. Knowing that Chu Di was determined to dig up the grave and examine the body, he couldn't stop him. It would be more practical to get some tangible benefits!
Having made their decision, the group didn't delay any longer. Jiang Mu piloted the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, which sped towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Immortals.
In the easternmost part of the Qingxuan Continent, nestled among a mountain range, lies a scenic valley. The valley is surrounded by numerous buildings, yet there is no road leading out of it.
Nestled between mountains and the sea, shrouded in mist, this place is on the edge of Qingxuan, where the primordial energy of heaven and earth is thin, yet within this valley, the primordial energy is abundant.
A beam of azure light shot out at lightning speed and came to a steady stop outside the valley.
Several figures appeared in the sky; they were Chu Di, Jiang Mu, and others.
Jiang Mu looked at the valley in front of him and said, "There is a formation here jointly built by the four major forces. Once it is broken, it cannot be broken."
Ya Du curled his lip in disdain and said, "Hmph, that's because you half-step realm humans are all trash!"
Jiang Mu did not argue with him. The two were mortal enemies, but they were only temporarily refraining from arguing because of the Chu enemy in the middle.
Jiang Mu shouted three times into the void, "Yang Xiu! Yang Xiu! Yang Xiu!"
He then explained to the crowd, "There is only one tomb keeper here, named Yang Xiu. He is a rogue cultivator who has lived for two thousand five hundred years and has mastered the art of longevity."
As soon as he finished speaking, the great array covering the valley flashed with purple light, and a withered old man with hardly any hair appeared before everyone.
"Jiang Mu? What brings you here? Did Feng Bu'e from your sect die?"
"He is indeed dead."
Yang Xiu's wrinkled face showed neither joy nor sorrow as he spoke, "Then why are there only a few of you here? Where is Feng Bu'e's body? The Supreme Lord's death wouldn't be so shabby, would it?"
"We have come for other matters, please activate the formation."
"No, this formation is only for the dead, unless all four of your sects come together."
"Hmm? When did Wanxian Valley have such rules? I, as the Supreme Elder of Ziwei Sect, didn't even know about it."
"You don't need to know, but here my word is law."
"Yang Xiu, don't you think you've gone too far?"
Jiang Mu's face was grim. He hadn't expected that Yang Xiu would show him such disrespect after he had come in person.
Yang Xiu's aged face remained unchanged as he spoke, "I can see that you are still recovering from serious injuries, and the burly man next to you clearly has demonic features. How do I know whether you have already defected to the demon race?"
"You! This is outrageous!"
Jiang Mu was furious at his words, her eyes welling up with tears, a prelude to her attack.
He always used the art of observing qi before taking action, a habit that allowed him to avoid many life-or-death situations.
But he found Yang Xiu's luck very strange.
This path of destiny is ethereal and elusive, and he only has a vague understanding of it now. In his eyes, Yang Xiu's destiny is divided into black mist and white mist, with black suppressing white. According to his understanding, black represents the demonic path.
Although this demonic fortune is strong, it is like a castle in the air, unable to withstand the slightest breeze. The white fortune within, though like a filament that can be extinguished at any moment, is exceptionally resilient and shows signs of a counterattack.
Jiang Mu found it strange. In his understanding, Yang Xiu seemed to be two different people, as if he had been possessed!
This left Jiang Mu somewhat dumbfounded. Judging from the current situation, Yang Xiu was definitely an enemy, not a friend, and his cultivation was so strong that it was no less than that of Ya Du in his prime!
But among them were not only Chu Di, a member of the Gold and Silver Sect, but also Jiang Mu, who was carrying many life-saving talismans and was not afraid of Yang Xiu at all!
Jiang Mu's face darkened, and he said without backing down, "Yang Xiu, are you sure you want to stop me?"
Yang Xiu's old face showed an unnatural look of surprise and doubt. In his mind, Jiang Mu was definitely the kind of person who valued his life. All of them were seriously injured, and those who were not injured had low cultivation. There was no reason for them to fight him head-on. Shouldn't they have been scared away by his two words?
He was also a cautious person, thinking that Jiang Mu and Ya might have some hidden tricks up their sleeves, so he said, "Tell me what you're going to do when you go in. After all, you have a demon god with you, and as a human, I naturally need to find out."
To Chu Di and his group, there was nothing wrong with what they said. It was understandable that an old man who had been guarding this place for many years would stop them when he first saw Ya Du, the number one person of the demon race.
But in Jiang Mu's eyes, it was a different story.
