Chapter 218: Valley of Ten Thousand Monsters
"Hmm? A little demon actually turned into Pangbo?" Ye Fan frowned slightly, a trace of doubt in his heart. With his current cultivation, he is almost invincible on Earth. A little demon in the Life Spring Realm naturally cannot escape his eyes. However, why did this little demon pretend to be Pangbo? What is the purpose behind this?
Ye Fan did not rush to attack or take the initiative to investigate, but decided to hide his whereabouts temporarily and follow the fake Pangbo silently to see if he could find the truth behind it. He restrained his breath, and his figure blended into the air like a ghost, following the fake Pangbo from a distance.
This little demon hardly stayed at Pangbo's house. Just now, he booked a flight to Shennongjia Hongping Airport. This action caught Ye Fan's attention. Shennongjia, this ancient and mysterious land, was named after the Chinese ancestor Shennong built a ladder with wood and tasted hundreds of herbs here. It has always been regarded as a place full of ghosts and legends.
"Shennongjia..." Ye Fan whispered to himself, a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes. He vaguely felt that this pursuit might reveal some unexpected secrets.
After the plane landed, Xiao Yao quickly left the crowded area and went straight into the depths of Shennongjia. He walked slowly, deliberately avoiding all popular attractions, and gradually went deeper into the uninhabited area. The air here is fresh and moist, the old trees are sprouting, the springs are gurgling, and it is as quiet as a paradise.
Ye Fan followed behind from a distance, trying not to reveal his presence. He noticed that Xiao Yao was very familiar with the surrounding environment and seemed to be well prepared. Along the way, Xiao Yao sometimes stopped to observe, and sometimes closed his eyes to sense, as if looking for some special opportunity.
Finally, Xiao Yao stopped in a valley, which was covered with bushes and dense jungles and rarely visited by people. He did not rush to go on his way, but sat cross-legged and began to feel the spiritual energy of the world. Judging from his actions, this was not just a simple practice, but more like a process of integrating into nature.
Ye Fan hid behind a towering ancient tree and watched all this quietly. He did not disturb them rashly, but waited patiently, wanting to find out the little demon's true intentions.
"Interesting, a little demon who practices thunder magic!" Ye Fan said in his heart.
Suddenly, Ye Fan felt that the little demon's breath became disordered. The lightning power in his body surged violently, and he was obviously trying to break through the Life Spring Realm and step into the Divine Bridge Realm. However, due to his eagerness for quick success, he went wrong at the critical moment, causing the lightning power to go out of control, and he could explode and die at any time!
"This little demon has done nothing wrong to the Pang family. Instead, he has done his filial duty for Pang Bo. I'll help you this time!" Ye Fan whispered, and then quietly made a move. A neutral and peaceful divine power quietly flowed into the little demon's body, quickly stabilizing his meridians and guiding the violent lightning force back to calm.
After a while, Xiao Yao successfully entered the God Bridge realm, and his originally chaotic aura gradually returned to normal. He opened his eyes, his face full of shock and confusion, and he obviously realized that someone was secretly helping him.
"Thank you so much, Immortal! I am unable to repay you! Please show up, Immortal, and accept my three kneelings and nine kowtows!" the little demon shouted excitedly, with awe and gratitude in his voice.
Ye Fan walked out of the woods slowly, looking at Xiao Yao calmly: "Which mountain are you practicing in, and why are you pretending to be Pangbo?"
The little demon was startled at first, then recognized Ye Fan's identity: "You are the one who followed the Nine Dragons to pull the coffin, Pangbo's friend!" He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "God, spare my life! I am a little demon from the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, and I was ordered by the Third Valley Master to investigate what happened back then!"
Ye Fan frowned slightly, and his doubts deepened: "Ten Thousand Demons Valley? The Third Valley Master? Why are they investigating Pang Bo's affairs?"
The little demon didn't dare to hide it, and quickly explained: "What the Immortal doesn't know is that the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin to the top of Mount Tai, and then quickly set sail. It shocked the world that year, and all the sects were shocked. They all reacted at the first time. The Ten Thousand Demons Valley is the holy land of the demon clan in the world, so it will not lag behind. It investigated the background of everyone on the same day, and reacted the fastest because the three valley masters went out in person. The Pangbo lineage was found by the three valley masters themselves. Seeing that there was a faint ancient demon god blood in the body of the clan, they immediately thought that the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin and there might be some cause and effect, so they arranged for me to transform into Pangbo's appearance and go back to learn more about this clan."
"Have you found out anything?" Ye Fan was about to continue asking when he suddenly felt a strange wave coming from a distance.
"Is this... Zixia's aura?" Ye Fan's heart was shocked, and his eyes looked in the direction where the fluctuation came from. He immediately took out the Eternal Star Domain high-tech magic weapon that Zixia gave him, pressed a button, and connected the communication.
"Hello? Zixia! Are you also in Shennongjia? Have you found anything? I have a little demon pretending to be Pangbo, I want to know the motive behind it!" Ye Fan said in a low voice.
Zixia's cold voice came from the communicator: "Ye Fan? I am indeed in Shennongjia. I have finished my work. Wait for me to come over." As soon as the words fell, the sky above Ye Fan's head suddenly twisted, and a peculiarly shaped spaceship appeared out of thin air.
When Xiao Yao looked up and saw this scene, he was stunned and stammered, "UFO! It really exists!"
"Now that you have cultivated into a spirit, can't there be aliens?" Ye Fan couldn't help but tease.
The little demon smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "Haha! I've been in the mortal world for too long, and my brain can't keep up with the pace."
The hatch of the spaceship opened, and Zixia floated down in a white dress. She wanted to find Shennong but failed to find him. So far, she didn't have anything special to do on Earth, so she might as well follow Ye Fan to explore the mysteries of the Earth.
Zixia fell to the ground and the spaceship disappeared instantly.
Ye Fan motioned Xiao Yao to continue.
"Hehe, I found nothing. I didn't even find out what bloodline he is from." Xiao Yao scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Let's go! Take us to visit the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons!" Ye Fan said in a deep voice.
·······
The ancient mountains and a desolate atmosphere rushed towards them. Zixia and Ye Fan felt as if they had arrived in ancient times and returned to the wild land.
In the distance, there were mountains that were tens of thousands of feet high, towering one after another, with old trees blocking the sun, and mysterious creatures lurking among them. When they got closer, eagles howled in the sky, beasts roared in the mountains and rivers, like thunder, rumbling and deafening, terrifying.
They didn't know where they were, and when they looked around, they saw a completely new environment, as if they had left the earth and entered a primitive world.
From a long distance, Zixia and her husband saw a huge valley where evil spirits rose to the sky and was surrounded by bands of black fog, as if a peerless demon was lurking.
"It's really a holy place for demon cultivation." Zixia observed the terrain of the mountains and rivers, with a bit of admiration in her tone, "According to the source heavenly book, this pattern may be the trace left by a certain ancient demon king after he became a Taoist here, which created such a unique terrain."
Ye Fan nodded in agreement: "No wonder the Ten Thousand Monster Valley has become the holy land of the world's monsters. It really has a profound foundation."
Zixia and Ye Fan followed the little demon "Thunder Monkey" into the depths of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley. As they went deeper, the terrain became more and more magnificent, and the scenery was breathtaking.
In the valley, auspicious air was rising and demonic air was rushing into the air. The two completely different forces intertwined and stirred up the wind and clouds in all directions. This was indeed a holy land for cultivation. Whether it was a human cultivator or a demon clan, they could find opportunities that suited them here.
