Chapter 774 -238: Entering the Valley_2

The Imperial Court had expended so much effort, “mobilizing” such a multitude of martial artists, wave after wave, to explore Death Valley, even resorting to downgrading the highly capable Governor Hu. It cannot therefore just be throwing these martial artists into Death Valley and then turning a blind eye.

Surveillance was inevitable – and a minor affair at that.

Link believed that among this batch of martial artists in the Normalization Realm, good hands of the Imperial Court must certainly be hidden.

Besides, Death Valley, initially an optional exploration point, had risen in importance in Link’s eyes after the Imperial Court’s strenuous interference.

He was not drawn there for the so-called Longevity Peach and the Ultimate Secret Book of Witchcraft, but merely intended to discern the real intentions of the Imperial Court and Emperor Kangqian.

With this mindset, Link decided not to care about the back pricking sensation of being watched, nor about Hu Songqi, trailing far behind him. Instead, he pressed ahead – cautiously navigating the route.

A lion uses full force when hunting a rabbit.

Link would not rest on his laurels of mental prowess and secret techniques – he would not be careless.

Even though he could teleport and wasn’t afraid of danger, what about the others?

It would be best to prevent the death of a teammate.

“Before you hear a peep!”

Among the two female disciples of the Mingxin Sword Sect, the younger one – Xu Huiyun, suddenly sighed.

After circling a low hill, it felt as though they were walking from one world to another.

The previously ceaseless din of noise was abruptly shut out.

The feeling was akin to arriving at a paradise.

As luck would have it, what appeared before the group was a peach forest, flush with fallen petals.

“Stop.”

Sensing the anomaly, Link quickly issued a warning.

Under his spiritual power, there was a precipice ahead, not a peach forest.

Yet visually, like the others, what he saw was the peach forest, not the precipice.

It is simple; either the sensing was wrong, or the vision was wrong.

Yet Link felt that perhaps neither the sensing nor the vision was wrong; rather, a phenomenon of overlapping spaces, or even time distortion, could have occurred.

Upon hearing Link’s voice, the other four immediately halted.

Hu Suqi had been constantly releasing her mental power to sense the surroundings.

However, her mental power, in both quality and quantity, was no match for Link’s. Its range was not as wide, nor was it as keen.

After receiving the warning, Hu Suqi noticed the anomaly and immediately asked, “What’s the situation?”

“I’m not sure yet.”

Link didn’t elaborate on his speculation, but made a new decision. “We’ll change course. Let’s go this way.”

Turning towards the 9 o’clock direction, Link picked a new path, not intending to uncover the secret of the peach forest/precipice.

Curiosity killed the cat.

To survive in the peril-riddled Death Valley, one’s curiosity must be restrained.

Even if the Peach Forest/Precipice concealed a major secret, Link was not interested in the slightest.

Brother Shi, Hu Suqi, and the two from Mingxin Sword Sect quickly understood Link’s intentions and followed suit.

Link’s newly chosen path was more arduous to navigate.

From time to time, half-rotten, half-bone humanoid monsters jumped out to block the way.

At their peak, they completely blocked the path ahead.

It seemed they were pressuring the team to return to the fork in the road, and headed for the peach forest/precipice.

If Link was not mistaken, these humanoid monsters should be the transformed forms of the martial artists who died in the valley in previous batches.

Not every plant species in the valley can fully absorb the vitality contained in human flesh and blood.

Bodies that hadn’t been entirely drained turned into puppet-like humanoid monsters, there to deal with those who came after.

There was no need for Link to step in, nor for Brother Shi, or the two Mingxin Sword Sect disciples to engage in close combat, Hu Suqi merely raised her hand, and with a fire technique, she burned through those zombie-like humanoid monsters.

This performance was clearly beyond the expectations of the two disciples from the Mingxin Sword Sect.

Their gaze at Brother Shi became somewhat strange.

Having spent so much time together, Min Ruohua and Xu Huiyun naturally knew that Brother Shi and Hu Suqi were a pair.

The crux of the matter was, it appeared that Brother Shi may not, possibly, presumably, perhaps, be able to defeat his partner.

How then would he secure his position at home?

Under the gaze of Min Ruohua and Xu Huiyun, Brother Shi gave an awkward smile.

In their relationship, Brother Shi had gone from having the upper hand to maintaining a balance of power, and now he had to secretly take the tonic that his master had given him to supplement his health – his status in the relationship had been decreasing progressively.

Now, he was resigned to his fate.

Watching the blazing fire, the team of five found a windward position, each using their own way to avoid the smell of burning flesh.

Behind them, Hu Songqi sensed the fluctuation of Hu Suqi’s magic use and couldn’t help but peer forward with the technique of “Ghost Eye”.

Watching the fire technique being used to incinerate the zombies, Hu Songqi’s expression subtly changed.

Having not seen Hu Suqi in action for a long time, she was becoming increasingly powerful.

Out in the valley, within the military camp.

Through surveillance footage, watching Hu Suqi’s fire technique and Hu Songqi’s “Ghost Eye”, Angel couldn’t help but sneer continuously.

“What a loyal and righteous Hu Shengqing!”

“His own daughter practicing ancient witchcraft, his illegitimate daughter practicing Evil Witchcraft, and both have reached such a profound realm, hehehe …”

“Do you truly believe that your little trick couldn’t be seen by the Imperial Court officials and His Majesty?”

At this moment, the military generals and officials waiting for orders in the tent wished they were deaf.

Were they supposed to hear this?

The Angel stood fearlessly against Governor Hu with the Emperor and several Imperial Court leaders standing behind him.

But they didn’t have that privilege!

If this matter was ever leaked, they would face a bizarre death.

However, they didn’t even need to think about it, Governor Hu would certainly know of Angel’s words.

Not to mention that Governor Hu had nurtured many people over the years in this province, he had many loyal subordinates.

It was estimated that Angel and the force he represented would likely take the initiative to inform Governor Hu about today’s events.

Otherwise, without using drastic measures and probing bit by bit, when could they completely eradicate Governor Hu’s influence in this province?

Inside the valley.

The fire burned for a full half hour before it finally incinerated all the zombies blocking the road.

But they still couldn’t go yet.

How could they walk on a ground full of ashes and tar?

Since Hu Suqi had exposed her identity as an ancient witch, she might as well make a complete break and act again.

Without needing to chant or use magic materials, she simply pointed her finger and the ground full of ashes and tar rolled over automatically.

The dirty soil on the surface was quickly flipped underneath, and the ground was covered with a layer of new soil.

But she wasn’t finished.

Hu Suqi pointed again, and a narrow ice path wide enough for one person to walk on quickly created.

Walking on the ice path, there was no worry about stepping on anything dirty.

“Take it easy.”

Brother Shi, seeing Hu Suqi’s face had turned noticeably paler, couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.

Hu Suqi just gave a slight smile, not responding.

Seeing this, Brother Shi felt helpless.

The team of five didn’t delay and immediately stepped onto the ice path to continue forward.

Meanwhile, Hu Songqi, after standing for nearly an hour in front of the peach forest/cliff, finally made up her mind.

“Father, you forced me to do this.”

Hu Songqi gritted her teeth, hatred shooting through her eyes.

She had only done a bit of investigation after receiving the task to retrieve The Ultimate Secret Book of Witchcraft from Death Valley.

Who could have known that Death Valley was so significant in her father’s plan?

She couldn’t possibly have known that Emperor Kangqian would care so much about Death Valley, mobilizing so much effort and even resorting to any means necessary!

The fact that she revealed the existence of Death Valley was merely a way to retaliate against Link.

When Death Valley started to cause a major stir, the situation quickly surpassed Hu Songqi’s expectations. She started to panic when things didn’t go as she imagined.

Thus, when Link approached her, offering her a way to be free in return for her services, Hu Songqi agreed promptly.

Even the faintest hope was still hope.

Now, it was time to take a risk again.

After much hesitation, Hu Songqi decided to take the plunge.

Anyway, if she failed, it would simply mean death, but if she succeeded, she might turn the tables.

Why not give it a shot?
