Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 849 - 869: Big Brother, Do You Want to Join Us?_1

Lin Chen held the Water and Fire Mirror, inspecting the essence capacity inside it, finally looking distressed.

"This Five Elements Essence, even one strand is as heavy as a mountain. In order to save my life, I just released at least a quarter of the stored essence. So, so many Essence of Five Elements, I don’t know how many Lofty Mountains it would be equal to be smashed upon her. If she didn’t die, she’s really lucky; it’s too painful," he lamented.

Gu Yuexi comforted him: "Although we used it up, at least we escaped a catastrophe. Without it, we probably couldn’t have escaped just now. That woman was so fast, her strength must be extraordinary."

Lin Chen’s face turned serious: "Just from her momentum and speed, even the Red Dragon King may not be a match for her. How could such a formidable Cultivator appear in the Valley of Death?"

The observant Gu Yuexi replied, "She just said that those who enter the Valley of Death will die. From the meaning of this, she should be a part of the Valley of Death, a Guardian of the valley...".

Lin Chen came back to his senses: "That’s right. The tone of her speech does suggest that. How can a Human Cultivator become a Guardian of the Valley of Death? Was that Middle-aged Man one too? If not, why didn’t he attack us?"

Gu Yuexi thought for a moment, then said: "The white-clothed woman had blood-red eyes while the middle-aged man’s gaze was wooden and confused, but his eyes did not show any traces of blood-red color. I think the white-clothed woman might be a Guardian under the control of the Valley of Death, but the middle-aged man might not be."

Lin Chen sighed with lingering fear: "This Valley of Death is truly worthy of its reputation. Apart from those ferocious Demonic Beasts and the undead, this White-clothed Woman alone is enough to slaughter outsiders. Are there any other beings like her in the valley? It’s too horrifying."

"Shall we continue east?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Now I am more and more convinced that it is the right direction. If I’m not wrong, just now we came out of the central area of the Valley of Death. The White-clothed Woman is a Guardian. Her original intention should have been to prevent outsiders from entering..."

"If we were going deeper into the valley, she would have had no reason to fly back. She definitely would continue to hunt us down or alert others. The fact that she went back might be because we’ve left the central area, so we’re no longer her responsibility, thus she gave up hunting and killing us," he reasoned.

Gu Yuexi’s eyes sparkled: "You mean, we’ve moved away from danger?"

Lin Chen said with a smile: "We’ll find out after walking a bit more."

The two of them continued heading east. Along the way, they encountered quite a few Demonic Beasts. These beasts attacked the two without a word.

Lin Chen did not fight and just kept running away.

The Traversing Earth Technique’s power shone here. Although the Demonic Beasts had formidable combat power, they couldn’t keep up with Lin Chen’s speed, and he left them far behind.

After all, when Lin Chen first learned the Traversing Earth Technique, he encountered Lu Daoren’s hunting and killing. With him at the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Chen led him on a wild goose chase all the way to Jade Peak City. Now that Lin Chen had reached the Nascent Soul stage, his comprehension of this technique has deepened, making it difficult for normal Demonic Beasts to catch up to him.

A life-saving miraculous technique is, after all, extraordinary.

The two of them led a horde of frenzied Demonic Beasts on a mad dash in pursuit, flying hundreds of miles before no more Demonic Beasts chased them.

Although they still encountered Demonic Beasts, these beasts had developed intelligence and didn’t recklessly attack them as they had before or pursue them without heeding their own safety.

"We’ve left the Valley of Death."

Lin Chen looked at the fleeing Demonic Beast and laughed happily: "The Demonic Beasts in the Valley of Death have no discretion in dealing with outsiders. They absolutely won’t run away before their deaths."

Gu Yuexi was delighted, "It’s been really difficult for us. First, we were hunted down by the Red Dragon King, then almost trapped to death in the Five Elements Immortal Palace. After barely escaping, we plummeted into the central part of the Valley of Death and encountered such a terrifying guardian."

Lin Chen chuckled, "Indeed, it was very dangerous and difficult. But this also proves that we really are lucky. Otherwise, we would have died hundreds of times over a long time ago."

Gu Yuexi nodded: "Let’s go. Let’s find a city. All I want to do now is take a good bath and sleep peacefully in a safe human city."

"Let’s go!"

The two of them continued flying east and happened to meet a pair of Cultivators. They asked them about the location of the nearest city and managed to arrive at this human city called Jucheng City before nightfall.

Upon entering the city, they settled down in an inn.

One room.

Ever since they met, Gu Yuexi had always wanted to lie in bed with Lin Chen, chatting quietly and then falling asleep peacefully in Lin Chen’s arms.

Such a simple thing didn’t happen until today.

Even when they were in the Five Elements Immortal Palace, where there were only two of them, both of them focused on cultivating as hard as possible, trying to absorb as much Essence of the Five Elements as they could. How could they have the mood to chat quietly?

A bath was prepared for them in their room, with a huge bathtub full of steaming hot water.

Gu Yuexi giggled and said, "Brother, do you want to join me?"
