In Luoxia Valley.
Zuo Xuzi and Luo Qian were leading their men forward.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, according to what the cultivators here said before, the monster seemed to have come out from the south, but we don't know where exactly."
The one who spoke was Zuo Xuzi, who was looking around with a vigilant expression.
Although he was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, after only going three hundred miles into Luoxia Valley, he found that his spiritual sense was greatly suppressed and he was unable to explore areas too far away.
Luo Qian said, "We are only here to investigate. It is impossible to find the whereabouts of that magic treasure. Moreover, this place is too big. It is impossible to find it unless the God Transformation Ancestor comes."
Luo Qian didn't have much hope of finding the magic treasure, they came here just to investigate some clues.
"We don't know the origins of that mysterious monk, and there is still no news from Tianji Tower."
Zuo Xuzi turned and talked about the mysterious monk.
Hearing Zuo Xuzi's words, Luo Qian's face became solemn. He did not participate in the battle at Tianqiong Peak, but stayed in Wangyue City.
But the fact that the mysterious monk was able to escape from Jiang Bohan is enough to show how extraordinary the mysterious monk is.
"I heard that this person is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, but he has mastered a special magical power that allows him to teleport continuously. He was able to escape by relying on this magical power." Luo Qian said.
Just as the two were discussing, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from afar.
This pressure directly dispersed the surrounding fog.
All the Nascent Soul cultivators immediately stopped and looked back.
"This is..." Zuo Xuzi's expression froze.
He didn't see what was in the distance, but the pressure made him feel frightened, and the others also had the same feeling.
At this moment, everyone stopped where they were and dared not move, all looking in the direction where the pressure came from in the distance.
Soon, a black shadow came rushing from a distance. This black shadow was as big as a hill.
As the black shadow got closer, everyone could see clearly that it was actually a monster.
This monster has black scales all over its body and has two huge heads.
That ferocious look made everyone tremble in their hearts.
The monster ignored Zuo Xuzi and the others, just glanced at them and hurried away.
It was not until the monster disappeared in the distance that everyone came back to their senses from their shock.
“Nascent Soul Great Perfection, and this is not just any Nascent Soul Great Perfection monster!”
A Yuanying cultivator from the Yanshen Sect cried out in horror.
Because this is Luoxia Valley, their spiritual awareness was suppressed, so they did not notice Chen Feng standing on the back of the monster.
But they can judge the strength of the monster based on the aura it emits.
Zuo Xuzi said in a shocked voice: "This is just the outskirts, why would such a terrifying monster appear here?"
"That monster must have wandered out from the depths of Luoxia Valley!" Luo Qian said with a serious expression.
Luoxia Valley is very mysterious. Even these Yuanying-stage monsters don't dare to go deep into Luoxia Valley at will, because there are indeed very terrifying monsters there.
But no one expected that they would actually encounter one today.
However, everyone was somewhat relieved at this moment.
Because the monster did not attack them, but left.
If they were in the outside world, they might still be able to fight this monster if they joined forces.
But in Luoxia Valley, they were all suppressed. If they were attacked by this monster, they would definitely be in danger of death.
"Let's go, change direction. We can't encounter this monster again." Zuo Xuzi spoke decisively, and then led his men to the other side.
They just came to Luoxia Valley to investigate, so they naturally didn't want to put themselves in danger.
Luo Qian also took his men away, as he didn't want to encounter the monster again.
"These six people should be here to look for that magical treasure." Chen Feng muttered to himself while sitting on Zhe Jiao's back.
He naturally saw Zuo Xuzi and others, but he did not take any action.
If these people died in Luoxia Valley, it would most likely alert the top leaders of Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City.
By that time, it is likely that those guarding outside Luoxia Valley will no longer be foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist, it would be easy for me to kill those people. You should have let me do it."
Zhe Jiao really wanted to show off in front of Chen Feng.
After all, his strength had just broken through.
"You have plenty of opportunities to take action, but not now. Speed up." Chen Feng said in a cold voice.
Zhe Jiao didn't dare to say much, and then increased his speed and headed towards the depths of Luoxia Valley.
Soon, Chen Feng arrived more than 700 miles south of Luoxia Valley.
The fog here has completely turned into black fog.
His spiritual awareness was also greatly suppressed, and he did not see any cultivators or monsters around him.
Just as Chen Feng was passing by a jungle, he suddenly heard a voice:
"Is anyone here?"
“Is there anyone here?”
The voice was very ethereal, but it entered Chen Feng's mind, as if some special magic was used to transmit the voice.
"Do you know where this sound comes from?" Chen Feng asked Zeng Jiao.
In Luoxia Valley, Zhejiao's spiritual consciousness was not suppressed, so he definitely knew where the sound came from.
One of the cunning ones turned his head and looked to the east: "It came from a forest in the east."
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Originally, Chen Feng just wanted to get the magic treasure as soon as possible and leave, but he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, so he planned to go over and take a look.
The cunning figure moved, and then took Chen Feng to the east.
After walking for a while, Chen Feng saw a black forest in the distance.
There are many black forests in Luoxia Valley, as if they are affected by the black fog that lingers in Luoxia Valley all year round.
As it got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer.
Following the direction from which the sound came, Chen Feng and Zeng Jiao came to an open space in the woods.
There is a tiny space crack above the open space.
The sound came from the crack in space.
The person in the crack seemed to have noticed Chen Feng's approach, and his voice immediately became hurried:
"But is there a fellow Taoist here? I am Chang Shan, the outer sect elder of Yanshen Sect. I hope you can help me. I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Chen Feng did not respond to Changshan's words.
He looked at the space crack in front of him and became alert.
In fact, as early as when he arrived in the woods, he had already determined who the owner of the voice was from the sound.
At that time, Changshan also invited him to enter a secret realm to obtain the so-called spiritual liquid of creation.
Now it seems that this place is the so-called secret place of Changshan.
I just don’t know what kind of accident happened, but Changshan was trapped in it.
Seeing that no one from the outside world spoke, Changshan's anxious voice came again: "Daoyou, if you are willing to help me, I will reward you handsomely!"
Although Changshan was trapped, he could feel that there must be someone outside.
Chen Feng looked at the crack and spoke slowly: "Friend Chang, I haven't seen you for so many days. How did you end up like this?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Changshan in the crack immediately exclaimed: "It's you! Hua Xuanzi, you are still alive."
Changshan was indeed shocked, because he had seen Hua Xuanzi being chased by five monsters that day. In his opinion, the other party was definitely dead, but he didn't expect that this person was still alive.
"If Fellow Daoist Chang is unwilling to tell me, then I will leave." Chen Feng didn't have time to talk more with Chang Shan here, as he still had important things to do.
Changshan said quickly, "Wait a minute, Daoist Hua. The reason why I am trapped here is because of someone's conspiracy. Daoist Hua, you will know if you use your spiritual sense to probe into it."
Chen Feng thought about it, then cautiously probed a trace of his spiritual consciousness into the space crack.
Soon, his expression changed slightly.
I saw a space inside the space crack.
The space was desolate, with only a stone pillar standing not far away.
And this stone pillar is exactly the Soul-Locking Six Spirit Pillars that we had seen before in the depths of Luoxia Valley.
He didn't expect that there was another one here.
However, there is no totem on this stone pillar, and there are even some cracks on it.
And under the stone pillar, there were three people sitting cross-legged.
The three of them were surrounded by a strange aura.
Two of them have already lost their lives, and only Changshan is still struggling to hold on.
"It's this strange spiritual energy again." Chen Feng frowned.
He had seen this thing several times. The first time was on the ancestor of the He family, and the other time was on He Bitian in the depths of Luoxia Valley.
Now we see it again in the three people from Changshan.
"Fellow Daoist, this is all because Chang was too greedy and actually believed the words of the He family's ancestor! There is no so-called Creation Spirit Liquid here. It is all an illusion created by others in order to lure cultivators like us into it and absorb the vitality in our bodies!"
Changshan's voice was filled with resentment, and it was obvious that he hated the He family's ancestor to the core.
After entering this secret realm, the three of them broke through a large number of restrictions and then came to the Spirit Liquid of Creation.
But just as the three of them were about to take it, the Creation Spirit Liquid disappeared, and then their bodies were invaded by strange spiritual energy.
In just a moment, the three of them were unable to move.
All the spiritual energy in the body was also absorbed by a force.
Yun Yun and You Lingzi died after holding on for several days because their vitality was drained away.
The reason why Changshan has been able to hold on until now is that he is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and he has also practiced the special skills of the Yanshen Sect.
But in his current state, he probably won't be able to hold on for long.
After thinking about it for a few days, Changshan also realized that he had been deceived.
But he just couldn't believe that the He family's ancestor dared to lie to him.
Aren’t you afraid of revenge from the Yanshen Sect?
After listening to Changshan's story, Chen Feng understood everything.
He had long known that this so-called spiritual liquid of creation was fake.
Now seeing what happened to Changshan and the others, he could already confirm that the He family's ancestor did have bad intentions.
"Fellow Daoist, please help me out. I will definitely reward you handsomely." Changshan's sincere voice came.
Chen Feng did not answer Changshan's words, but asked: "What do you mean by saying I'm still alive?"
After Changshan discovered that it was him, his first reaction was surprise that he was still alive, which was obviously strange.
Chang Shan spoke without hesitation: "A few days ago, I saw five terrifying monsters chasing you. I wanted to help them, but they were too fast and I couldn't catch up."
"Now that I see that you are fine, I think you have escaped from the pursuit of those five monsters."
Changshan didn't dare to say that he would just watch someone die without helping. After all, he now had to rely on Hua Xuanzi for help.
Hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes fixed.
He didn't expect that Changshan actually saw him being chased that day.
At that time, he was only thinking about escaping and did not notice Changshan and others.
Fortunately, they were trapped in Changshan. If these people left Luoxia Valley and knew about the events at Tianqiong Peak, his identity in the Inner Sea would be exposed.
"Friend Chang, even the three of you are trapped in there. Do you think I can rescue you? I'm afraid I will be trapped as soon as I go in." Chen Feng spoke directly.
Changshan was stunned for a moment. He obviously had not considered this problem. Only after being reminded by Chen Feng did he react.
Yes, even the three of them were trapped in an instant, so even if Chen Feng had some trump cards, they would probably be useless.
And why would the other party risk his life to save him?
This is only possible if a great monk from one's own sect comes.
But he didn't have much time left. Even if he asked Chen Feng to notify the strong men from their sect to come, it would be too late.
At this moment, Changshan was in despair, and his voice was filled with sorrow:
"It's a pity that I, Changshan, have practiced Taoism for my entire life and finally reached the Nascent Soul stage, but ended up like this!"
Although Changshan's voice was filled with sadness, it was more filled with anger. He hated the ancestor of the He family!
If there really was a spiritual liquid of good fortune here, he would have died, at least he would have died on the path of seeking the truth. But now it was obvious that he was being plotted against.
How could he be willing to do so!
Chen Feng said calmly: "Friend Chang, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Chen Feng also hoped that Changshan would die here, at least his identity as Hua Xuanzi would not be exposed.
Seeing Chen Feng was about to leave, Changshan said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, fellow Daoist Hua, I have something else to ask of you!"
Chen Feng paused for a moment: "What's the matter?"
Changshan said angrily, "Please inform our Yanshen Sect of what happened here, and also the matter of the He family's ancestor. If this person doesn't die, I will die with my eyes wide open!"
Changshan didn't expect Chen Feng to help him get revenge because it was simply impossible.
He only asked Chen Feng to inform Yanshen Sect of the news and let Yanshen Sect deal with the ancestor of the He family.
"Why should I help you?" Chen Feng said calmly.
Changshan was not surprised at all by Chen Feng's words.
Cultivators are profit-oriented, and he has only met Hua Xuanzi a few times. It is understandable that the other party would not want to help if there is no benefit.
Changshan's mind moved, and he saw three storage rings flying out from the space crack in front of him.
This storage ring did not cause any abnormalities in the space.
After Changshan gave away the three storage rings, the strange spiritual energy on his body became more intense than before.
Apparently, giving away these three storage rings hastened his death.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the storage ring for the three of us. Please pass the message on." Changshan's voice became weaker and weaker.
But there was unwillingness in his eyes, and he was waiting for Chen Feng's answer.
Chen Feng reached out his hand to take the storage ring, then glanced at the things inside the storage ring. He nodded slowly: "Okay."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, a smile appeared on Changshan's face, and then he burst into laughter.
But the laughter only lasted for a moment before it stopped abruptly.
Changshan in the space crack has no breath left.
Chen Feng felt sad as he looked at the three people who died in the space crack.
If he had chosen to enter this secret realm with Changshan and others, he would probably have ended up like them.
But the path of cultivation is like this. Sometimes a wrong choice can lead to death. (End of this chapter)
