The driver was a young man who knew what had happened when he saw Shen Yunhao cover his buttocks and walk like a duck after landing.
He immediately chuckled and said, "Young man, you're so young, you can't be so weak. How long has it been and you're already exhausted? You need to practice more. If you can't even control a mere flying beast, what can you control?"
"???"
Shen Yunhao felt insulted, but he couldn't find any evidence.
To be fair, this was indeed his first time cycling for such a long time, so isn't it normal for him to be a bit disheveled?
The man waved and left with a playful smile on his face.
Shen Yunhao was left standing there in a daze.
This trip cost him a full one hundred spirit stones.
He currently has only two hundred ordinary spirit stones left, aside from the top-grade spirit stone.
"Sigh, no matter how rich you are, you can't afford to squander money like this..."
As the sun slowly set, Shen Yunhao did not rush south. Instead, he planned to find an inn to rest for the night and enter the Cangmang Mountains the next day.
...
The Cangmang Mountains are a giant mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, undulating and spanning several dynasties.
Lingyou Valley is a secluded valley located in its northern part.
The vast and desolate mountain range is located here, and it also has a very important geographical significance... it is the dividing line between Zhongzhou and Yunzhou!
Because south of the Cangmang Mountains lies the territory of Zhongzhou.
It is precisely because of this special geographical significance that, despite the abundance of spiritual energy and countless spiritual veins and mountains within the mountain range, no one dares to establish a sect there.
Whether it's Yunzhou or Zhongzhou, any cultivator from either side who wants to take control of the Cangmang Mountains will inevitably face opposition and attacks from the other side.
Over time, this vast and desolate mountain range became a "wilderness" unmanaged by cultivators, allowing demonic beasts to multiply and even giving rise to several demon kings.
The Valley Master of Lingyou Valley is one of them!
At this moment, on an inconspicuous low mountain in the vast mountain range, a girl sat on a boulder at the top of the mountain. Her delicate, fair legs under her black dress swayed back and forth in the air, exuding a lively and youthful aura.
But if someone familiar with the place were here, they would know exactly what a vicious heart lies hidden beneath that innocent and alluring exterior.
She was looking with great interest at the vast, secluded valley before her, a smile playing on her lips: "The main gate of Lingyou Valley is completely sealed, and the great formation inside the valley is fully activated. They must be in big trouble..."
"It seems that Poison Prince acted much faster than we expected. If it weren't for Shadow's accidental capture of that spy, we would still be in the dark!"
The beautiful woman in red and the woman in gray robes still stood behind the girl.
At this moment, the beautiful woman in red, Hongyu, said worriedly, "If he really succeeds and obtains the Azure Vein here, that old poisoner will have another way to deal with the Empress!"
"What's the panic? A demon king in the Spirit Void Realm can't be dealt with by just one Poison Bone. If he really succeeded, without the Azure Vein maintaining it, the formation here would have been broken long ago, why would it have waited until now?"
"That being said, but..."
Hongyu was about to speak again, but Mu Shuangshuang waved her hand to interrupt: "Alright, what's the use of saying all this? Are we going to deal with Poison Bone now? Should you go first or should I go first?"
"..."
Seeing Hongyu's humiliation, Lingmu couldn't help but sneer, "It seems that Lady Hongyu is very confident in her snake tongue. Is she going to do something as extraordinary as a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator fighting against a Void Soul Realm cultivator?"
"If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!" Hongyu snapped. "What good is your pig brain except for weaving webs at home?"
"I'm a spider, so why would a spider be mentally unstable?"
Hongyu's face stiffened, and she was speechless.
"I'm really fed up with you two!" Mu Shuangshuang covered her head, a few black lines appearing on her forehead: "You two have a small argument every two days and a big argument every three days. You might as well get married and live together. What do you need a man for!"
Hongyu: "..."
Lingmu: "..."
"Do you really want me to give each of you a needle before you'll stop? You can choose for yourselves, black or green?"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately took a step back and knelt down on one knee in unison: "Miss, please calm down!"
Everyone in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect knows that the three tails behind the young lady are deadly; anyone who gets hit by them will lose half their life. In particular, the black Death Tail Needle is almost instantaneous, possessing a terrifying toxicity that even cultivators at the Void Refinement stage find difficult to resist!
Mu Shuangshuang's natural advantage in being able to firmly hold the position of Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is unparalleled.
“Teng Kui’s actions this time were truly unexpected. Judging from the current situation in Lingyou Valley, it might be too late by the time Elder Du Qing arrives!” Mu Shuangshuang’s expression finally darkened: “We must find some help…”
"helper?"
Mu Shuangshuang pondered for a moment: "I've heard that besides the main gate of Lingyou Valley, there is also a hidden gate. Lingmu, your descendants have many eyes and ears. Go find out where the hidden gate is and try to sneak into the valley to check the situation!"
"yes!"
The woman in the grey robe lowered her head in response.
"Remember to be careful. If you fall into that coward's hands, no one can save you!"
"Don't worry, Miss. I may not have any other special skills, but this matter of detecting escape routes is no problem for me!"
Hongyu scoffed, "All you're good for are these petty thefts..."
Before Lingmu could even get impatient, Mu Shuangshuang had already jumped off the rock and said, "Hongyu, come with me to visit someone!"
"Does the young lady have an old friend here?"
Mu Shuangshuang chuckled and shook her head, her eyes flashing with a dark, flickering light: "It didn't exist before, but a needle prick will do the trick?"
...
Although Lingyou Valley is located in the Cangmang Mountains, it is only a little over a hundred miles away from Yunchuan City of the Ten Thousand Beasts Dynasty.
However, Shen Yunhao could not ride a horse, so he could only walk there with his copper-skinned body. Following the route taught to him by Zhuli, it took him a whole day to reach the deep valley.
However, there wasn't much danger along the way.
Although many demons live in the Cangmang Mountains, some of them are deep within the mountains.
Moreover, Lingyou Valley happens to be the closest gathering place of demons to mortal cities.
In other words, if Shen Yunhao didn't have the token given to him by Zhu Li, he should have stopped here.
Because further ahead lies the valley, where you'll encounter many demons!
But when Shen Yunhao actually arrived at this place, he was somewhat puzzled.
"I remember Sister Li'er saying that this long gorge is the entrance to Lingyou Valley, so why is it closed now?"
Looking at the path blocked by countless boulders, Shen Yunhao was somewhat puzzled.
Although Lingyou Valley is a valley, it cannot be entered directly from the ridges on either side. Not only are there cliffs and steep walls, but there is also a protective array guarding the valley. Recklessly trespassing would undoubtedly result in a near-death experience.
Entering through the main gate, you will encounter the demon guards in the valley.
The demons in the valley are all under the jurisdiction of the Valley Master of Lingyou Valley and will not easily harm people. Then, by showing the Candle Glass Token, you can meet the Valley Master and obtain the Azure Jade Lingzhi.
