Actually, Shen Yunhao had some concerns, but he didn't tell Qing Teng.
The Demonic Sect's primary target is undoubtedly the Heart of the Vast Ocean in Sister Li'er's possession. It remains to be seen whether the Spirit Valley Master's "plank road" is strong enough to completely divert the Demonic Sect's attention...
Even if the Valley Master of Lingyou Valley uses himself as bait and successfully attracts the attention of the Demonic Sect, and those clansmen manage to escape from the Ten Thousand Vine Cave, they will still be trapped in Lingyou Valley...
It would be extremely difficult for so many people to leave the valley without anyone noticing.
He didn't believe that the traitor Bai Yang hadn't made preparations beforehand!
...
Under the cover of night, in the jungle, two figures, their bodies crouching low, were quietly moving forward.
However, they would stop every now and then, hide their figures, and only set off again after a group of people in front of them had passed by, stealthily moving forward.
After climbing over a low slope, Shen Yunhao finally saw a small waterfall cascading down the mountainside in the distance, falling into a small pool below.
It must be mountain streams that converge here, forming a small waterfall that plunges into the valley.
These mountain ridges surrounding Lingyou Valley are covered with countless formations and restrictions, preventing outsiders from entering.
Aside from the mountain path leading to the main entrance of the valley, the only other way out of the valley is through the cave where Qing Teng led Shen Yunhao in.
"This is Huaigu Ravine!"
Qing Teng pointed to the small pool in the distance: "Beneath that small pool, there is an underground passage that leads to the Ten Thousand Vine Cave... If what you say is true, then Senior Sister Green Bamboo and the others will come out from this small pool."
"Is the secret passage beneath the surface of the pool?"
Shen Yunhao touched his chin, also feeling somewhat surprised.
If there really was a secret passage, the water in the small pool should have drained away through it. But now the surface of the pool is as smooth as a mirror, without any ripples, so it doesn't look like there's a secret passage at all.
That's true. If it were too obvious, it wouldn't be considered a secret passage; it would have been discovered long ago!
"Brother Yunhao, there's no one patrolling here, let's go over there!"
As Qing Teng was about to lift her foot, Shen Yunhao suddenly pulled her back behind the wall and made a shushing gesture, saying, "Wait, there's a problem ahead!"
Qing Teng glanced at her small hand being held, but didn't resist. She just asked in confusion, "Is there a problem? There shouldn't be anyone ahead, and I haven't sensed any demonic aura..."
Shen Yunhao frowned and pointed in a certain direction: "There... there's something wrong with that poplar tree!"
Following Shen Yunhao's gaze, Qing Teng saw a withered white poplar tree standing quietly among the lush green trees.
Qing Teng scratched his head, carefully sensed it for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "I can't sense any spiritual energy or demonic energy... It seems to be just an ordinary poplar."
“You are like this…” Shen Yunhao thought for a moment, then suddenly leaned over and whispered a few words in Qing Teng’s ear.
Upon hearing this, Qing Teng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Not long after, a strange little beast that looked like a mouse emerged from the grass, wandered around the woods twice, and finally came to the poplar tree. After looking around, it started gnawing on the roots!
"..."
Just then, a root as thick as an arm suddenly emerged from under the poplar tree, directly flinging the small beast away.
"Pah! What bad luck! Where did this little beast come from? Of all the animals to gnaw on, it had to come and gnaw on me..."
The roots of the poplar tree emerged from the ground, resembling an octopus, and it left the place somewhat annoyed.
Qing Teng couldn't help but widen her eyes: "This is...this is the withered tree technique of the Baiyang clan, which can conceal one's figure and aura...Even I didn't see it, how did you figure it out, Brother Yunhao?"
Shen Yunhao looked up at the moon and said softly, "A poplar tree mixed in with a group of trees is bound to attract attention, and all the poplars we've seen before are evergreen, only this one is withered and yellow..."
"..."
Due to the influence of the Green Vein, the plants in this Spirit Valley are basically unaffected by the seasons.
"It seems that the traitor was prepared in advance. This withered tree technique is difficult to guard against and it is easy for them to spot the traces!"
Shen Yunhao thought to himself that these grass spirits and tree spirits really had a good way of monitoring people. They didn't even need to install cameras. They blended into the surrounding environment and could stand there all day without moving.
After confirming that no one was around Xiao Tan, the two finally approached slowly.
"Brother Yunhao, are you really going in with me? Actually... you could escape from the valley right now..."
At this moment, the little girl couldn't help but ask again.
"We've come this far, how can we back down?" Shen Yunhao raised his eyes and smiled. "Besides... there's someone very important to me inside. If I don't go see her now, it's very likely... I'll never see her again in this lifetime."
Yes... he and Sister Li'er have never met in this way before.
If he truly cannot escape this fate, at least he can be "honest" with Sister Li'er on his final journey...
Qing Teng suddenly thought of the beautiful woman in white, and his expression darkened slightly.
However, she had no time for other emotions now; she only wanted to see her master one last time before going in...
Indeed... After venting their emotions, they both found a reason to enter the Ten Thousand Vine Cave.
...
Meanwhile, on the hillside outside Lingyou Valley, a girl in a black dress stood with her arms crossed.
However, instead of Hongyu and Lingmu, she was accompanied by a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist.
"Poison Jade Old Demon... Miss Mu, you didn't tell me before that there would be an old monster with such cultivation here?" The burly man grinned, revealing a cold smile: "This is not what we agreed on!"
"What? Scared?"
Mu Shuangshuang turned her head, a mischievous glint in her deep brown eyes: "I didn't know that the infamous Wild Tiger King would be afraid of a slutty old woman who only knows how to use poison..."
"..."
Veteran Spirit Void Realm experts... a slutty old woman who only knows how to use poison?
"Why would I be afraid of her if we fight fair and square?" The burly man raised an eyebrow and sneered, "I'm afraid of the strange poisons you guys are hiding! Even Lone Wolf was crippled by your tail, who knows what kind of weird stuff that old woman can pull out?"
"Hehehe..." Mu Shuangshuang immediately covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her beauty captivating: "Lord Wild Tiger, you overestimate me. If it weren't for Lord Wild Tiger restraining me, with the Lone Wolf King's cultivation at the Spirit Void Realm, I would have been annihilated with just a finger. How could I have had the chance to harm him..."
The burly man gave her a deep look, his eyes still revealing a hint of apprehension.
You should know that Mu Shuangshuang only has the cultivation level of the Soul Condensation Realm!
If she were to get close enough to sting him, even a demon king in the Spirit Void Realm would instantly lose most of his fighting power!
Such terrifying toxicity is truly chilling!
