122 Gathering in the Netherworld Valley
Chapter 122
On the second day, several groups of people gathered at the entrance of the Netherworld Valley, followed by people who saw them off and onlookers.
Shi Yan sold his seven quotas to three other families. Before entering the valley, he made a fortune for the Golden Eagle Mercenary Team.
There were more Yuandan Realm masters gathered here than when they were fighting for the seven-leaf insect flower.
The aura emitted by these masters alone made the weaker cultivators dare not approach and watch from a distance.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo also brought Cheng Miao to see Shi Yan off. They were talking to Master Shi, and at this time, they were only a dozen meters away from Feng Linlang and Wu Yingyan.
Glancing at them from the corner of his eye, Feng Ming was so happy in his heart that he threw out a lot of Yuanjing to look for them, but now they were so close, and the man surnamed Wu didn't notice at all. They
had passed by each other before, and Feng Ming did something to Wu Yingyan to ensure that he and the people around him would not find out.
Because he used the butterfly powder of the Miyou Butterfly, it would be convenient for him and Bai Qiaomo to find his whereabouts when they entered the Nether Valley.
If he didn't return the favor, it would be really sorry for Wu Yingyan's "painstaking efforts" for them.
Another thing that made him happy was that there was a young man from the Nie family who was traveling with him. No matter in appearance, demeanor or strength, he was better than Wu Yingyan.
From the respectful attitude of the other children of the Nie family towards him, it can be known that his status in the Nie family is not low, and this young master of the Nie family obviously cares a lot for Feng Linlang, and Feng Linlang does not seem to reject it.
I heard that the Nie family was contacted by Wu Yingyan. If this couple is really promoted, I don't know what Wu Yingyan's mood is. Feng Ming is happy just thinking about it.
Shi Yan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go into the valley now, no need to delay any longer."
A master of the Yuandan realm laughed and scolded, "It's all because of waiting for you, old man, and now you think we are delaying."
"Haha, then I will lead the way in first."
Shi Yan smiled boldly and took out the seven-leaf insect flower grass that belonged to him.
After the sacrifice, the whole body of this strange grass was light golden, like a fine work of art, and no longer looked ugly and twisted.
Shi Yan held the snake-shaped artwork, lit it with his own energy, and stepped into the gray area. The artwork released a layer of light golden light, which repelled the fog.
Such a strange grass, such a miraculous effect, even Feng Ming was amazed.
The other nine people immediately stepped into the light circle. Protected by the strange grass, the figures of the ten people gradually went deeper and soon they could not be seen.
"Let's go into the valley too, don't let this old guy get there first."
"Okay."
Fifty people went in, and each strange grass fully played its role, and no quota was wasted.
Among them were people from the Zheng family and the Lu family. It was obvious that they bought the quota from others, and only two people were sent in.
After everyone entered, the Zheng family only glanced at Cheng Miao and didn't come close to annoy them.
Cheng Miao had already said that he didn't want to see them, and they understood.
After all, because of Zheng Qianshu, Cheng Miao walked on the edge of death, and it was normal for him to have resentment towards the Zheng family.
But the Lu family couldn't see this clearly, and someone from the Lu family wanted to come over and say a few words to Cheng Miao. However,
after everyone entered, Cheng Miao turned around and was about to leave. The deputy captain in charge immediately asked others to protect him and quickly took Cheng Miao away. They didn't want the young master to come into contact with the Lu family again.
In the past few days, the Lu family's performances outside the town every time made them disgusted.
It was just an external injury from a whipping, which could be healed with a healing pill. Why did they come to their young master every day covered in blood? Just to make the young master soft-hearted.
Fortunately, the young master was a gentle man with a strong heart. He said he would not see him and did not waver at all. Of course, he would not let the Lu family have the opportunity to run to the young master and talk.
"Hold on in the back, don't let irrelevant people come and disturb the young master."
"Yes, deputy captain." A row of people in the back stopped the Lu family who wanted to get close.
"Young Master Cheng, Young Master Cheng, I just want to say a few words for Lu Rong, just a few words." The man refused to give up and shouted at Cheng Miao.
Cheng Miao pretended not to hear and instead of slowing down his pace, he sped up instead.
The other members of the Lu family shook their heads when they saw this. It seemed that they really couldn't win Cheng Miao back this time.
This made them want to go back and give Lu Rong another good beating. They wanted to see what they had done to offend this young master and why he turned against them so ruthlessly.
They had already considered Cheng Miao as a member of their Lu family. When Cheng Miao married into the Lu family, the resources and connections of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps would have to be used by the Lu family. Just
as the Cheng family had used this relationship to rise in status, it would be the Lu family's turn in the future.
But because of the stupid things done by Lu Rong and his mother, this path to advancement was blocked. How could the Lu family not complain?
The woman was brought in by Lu Rong's mother. Now Lu Rong's mother should be satisfied.
There were many onlookers around, watching with great interest. They had also heard about Lu Rong's injury during several days of going to the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps. Some people even rushed there to see the scene.
Now it seems that Young Master Cheng will not give them any chances. After
Cheng Miao and the others walked away, some people at the scene began to discuss in a low voice.
"If you ask me, he deserves it. Young Master Cheng was so good to Lu Rong. If Young Master Cheng hadn't saved Lu Rong, Lu Rong would be in an unknown situation now. It's unknown whether he can live well. As a result, he became famous, and his cousin on the left and his two sons on the right are trying to dislike Young Master Cheng. Some people even say that he is infatuated. Bah, we rough people know that such men are not worth having."
"That's right. It's too late to regret now. I don't think Young Master Cheng will give the Lu family any chance. With the relationship with Master Shi, Young Master Cheng can marry any man. Why does he have to hang on to his crooked tree?"
"Even if he doesn't get married, Young Master Cheng can live a good life relying on the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps."
***
When Cheng Miao said he let go of Lu Rong, he really let him go and didn't worry about him at all.
Back at their camp outside the Nether Valley, Cheng Miao quietly asked Feng Ming: "When are you and Brother Qiao going in? I'll cover for you. The three of us will stay in the tent and not go out. Just say that I don't want to go out and see the Lu family, and you guys are accompanying me."
Well, he had a ready-made excuse. He probably guessed that Lu Rong knew he was here and might come over, so he wanted to seize this last chance.
"You really don't want to go back?" Feng Ming asked with concern.
Cheng Miao smiled and said, "I'm not going back. I'm going to wait for grandpa here. There are so many cultivators here, and no one dares to do anything to me. It's quite safe here."
Feng Ming accepted the kindness and said, "Okay, then let's go back to the tent. I estimate that Xiao Jing should wake up tonight. Then we'll see if it has absorbed the function of the seven-leaf insect flower."
Cheng Miao nodded repeatedly. It was a pity that he couldn't go in with Xiao Qiao. He also knew that he would be a drag based on his strength, so he stayed outside and waited.
So just as Cheng Miao said, they hid in the tent after they returned, and even the food and drink were brought in by other mercenaries.
Sure enough, half a day later, Lu Rong, who got the news, came in person. He was finally no longer wearing bloody clothes, but his sick face was hard to bear.
Lu Rong came to the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps camp and begged to see Cheng Miao, but not only did no one pass the message to him, but also shouted at him to drive him away.
Many cultivators outside followed to watch the excitement, but there were really few cultivators here who sympathized with Lu Rong, which was different from the situation in Pingwang City.
Someone sneered, "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you really remembered Young Master Cheng's kindness, you should have done as Young Master Cheng said and not run up to him to bother him."
Someone continued, "It's because you can't bear to give up the benefits and are afraid of being beaten back to your original form."
"It's not necessarily the case that you will be beaten back to your original form. The benefits of the past few years have paid off. Now your cultivation level can't be restored. After all, you have benefited from it, so you shouldn't bother others, lest you really make Old Master Shi unhappy and kill him in one fell swoop. Let's see how he can keep pestering and don't know how to stop when you see the benefits."
"Look, these Lu family members have forced Young Master Cheng to stay in the tent. He hasn't come out since he went in. I guess they just don't want to see the Lu family."
"I think so too."
The sound of other people's pointing and talking did not avoid Lu Rong, so he heard it clearly, feeling more and more embarrassed, and resentful towards Cheng Miao in his heart.
He really wanted to leave in anger. Today, the Golden Eagle mercenary team looked down on him. When he became stronger in the future, he would teach everyone in the Golden Eagle a lesson.
But he still gritted his teeth and insisted, because he knew very well that he could not do without the help provided by Cheng Miao at present.
In just the past few days, his treatment in the Lu family has been declining. Even the elders of his lineage forced him to ask for Cheng Miao's forgiveness, and it would be best if he could win Cheng Miao back.
Lu Rong put on an infatuated look and waited outside the Golden Eagle camp, as if he would not leave unless Cheng Miao saw him.
This made some people with clear eyes and clear minds despise him. Without this, they still didn't know that Lu Rong was such a Lu Rong.
Feng Ming held his chin and said, "Thank him so much, such a good umbrella."
When it got dark, a fire was lit in the camp, illuminating the tent, and the three figures in the tent could be seen.
A little turtle finally crawled out of Feng Ming's pet bag, and after coming out, it ate a pill and a beast core, and also ate a large piece of beast meat and a few spiritual fruits.
It was so small, but I don't know where it went after eating so much.
Feng Ming bent the little turtle over and over to check: "Nothing has changed, why can't I see anything, did you see it?"
The little turtle was tortured by its owner until its limbs were stretched out weakly, looking so pitiful, Cheng Miao covered his mouth and laughed: "Brother Xiao Qiao, do you want to go to the Nether Valley to try it?"
"Yes, we have to go to the field to try it. If it succeeds, we won't come back. You wait for us here."
"Okay, don't worry, Brother Xiao Qiao, Brother Da Qiao, I will wait for you." Cheng Miao clenched his fist and said, he has great confidence in the two.
He is still waiting for the two to come back and share with him the stories in the Nether Valley.
