Chapter 9: The Valley of Tranquility
In the past two days, Jiang Xiaohao has been concentrating on cultivating the "Exorcism Karmic Fire" Yuan Technique that he has just obtained, and now he has been able to fully exert the power of this karmic fire.
Aliu has also returned to the Exorcism Division in the past two days, and this time he also brought back an extremely important news...
"Aliu, are you sure your message is accurate?" Liu Lao asked.
"If you see it with your own eyes, you can't be wrong!" Aliu replied.
"It's very likely that Xiao Yezi's parents were captured by these guys!" Jiang Xiaohao said excitedly.
Not long ago, when Ah Liu was leaving Cloud City, he happened to hear a mysterious person chatting with a teahouse owner.
"How's the ceremony going?" The teahouse owner asked.
"Well, a thousand people is not a lot!" The mysterious man said with a sinister smile.
"Hmm~, as long as we wait for the valley master to come out and complete the ceremony, the world is ours!" The teahouse owner said with some excitement, "By the way, you should go back to Youyun Valley immediately and arrange everything, and there must be no mistakes!" ”
"Yes!"
"I think it's very likely! These people have already captured a thousand people in order to complete the ritual they have spoken! Ah Liu said, "Master, let's hurry up and save people without further ado!" ”
"Hmm~"
Liu Lao asked Tang Wu'an and Ah Liu to go with half of their men to investigate the situation, and also notified the Great Yuan Sect and the Flying Immortal Gate that were closest to Youyun Valley, and he wanted to guard this exorcism division, so he couldn't go.
"Uncle, I'm going too!" Xiao Ye shouted. Jiang Xiaohao thought about it, although it was dangerous to go this time, but from Xiao Yezi's point of view, it was understandable to let her go to his parents. "Well, but you have to listen to your uncle", "Uh-huh! ”
"By the way, Brother Jiang, this is your horse." Ah Liu led a white horse and said to Jiang Xiaohao.
Jiang Xiaohao, who was talking to Xiao Yezi, smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "That... Brother Liu, can you change it to a carriage or something..."
"Oh~, hahaha, I didn't expect Brother Jiang to know how to ride a horse." Ah Liu listened to Jiang Xiaohao's words and instantly understood something.
“kao! I can drive mecha and cars, but I can't ride horses" Jiang Xiaohao was a little depressed. After all, horseback riding is just a sport on earth.
Jiang Xiaohao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, he didn't know what to do for a while, this is not the earth, you can go out by car casually. But the fastest way to get around here is by horseback riding.
"Time is pressing, Brother Jiang will join me, Xiao Yezi will follow Brother Tang!" Aliu said.
"That's... That's all there is to it," Jiang Xiaohao replied with some embarrassment.
That's it, Ah Liu is in front and Jiang Xiaohao is behind, this picture... It is true that people produce one
Some reverie.
"Drive!"
"Drive! ~~Drive! ~~”
"Drive..."
The sound of horses' hooves startled a group of birds, and the summer sycamore leaves also fell on the horseshoe prints with the wind. This visit will definitely unveil the mystery of those people.
Ten days later.
In order to avoid startling the snakes, the group decided to walk ten miles around the valley. In the past ten days, they have been traveling day and night, thinking that Xiao Yezi will not be able to stand it.
But what I didn't expect was that this Nizi was very obedient and didn't cry or make trouble all the way. Because she knew in her heart that if she lost her parents this time, if she delayed time because of herself, it would be worth the loss.
"Brother Jiang, ten miles ahead is Youyun Valley!" Aliu pointed ahead.
"It's not easy to walk!" Jiang Xiaohao frowned and said, he was not worried about himself but Xiao Yezi.
Ahead was a desert, with no life in the distance, and the scorching sun scorched the sand, and from time to time it emitted a stream of heat from the ground. There was not even a passing bird in the sky except clouds and the sun.
"It's true, it's only ten miles away, and there's nothing wrong with us walking over, but this..."Tang Wuan said and looked at Xiao Yezi.
"Humph! I'm not afraid," Xiao Yezi said with his hands on his hips. "That's okay, uncle is carrying you, how about we go over as fast as we can!" Jiang Xiaohao squatted down and touched Xiao Yezi's head and said.
"Uh-huh!" There was a hint of firmness in Xiao Yezi's eyes.
"Alright, let's go!"
These fifty or sixty people are all Earth Monarch Realm strength, and although this desert is very hot, it is not a big threat to them. Jiang Xiaohao's speed was hardly affected, thanks to the weight-bearing cross-country training he often carried out when he was a soldier on Earth.
Xiao Yezi felt the wind on his back, and he didn't feel very hot, so he was always well-behaved and quietly lying on Jiang Xiaohao's back.
"Brother Jiang, that's Youyun Valley!"
From a distance, a huge crack with a width of nearly 100 meters and a length of 4 or 500 meters appeared in front of Jiang Xiaohao's eyes. Contrary to what he thought, this valley of seclusion was not a valley, but a huge chasm.
"Let's go!" Jiang Xiaohao didn't hesitate much and went directly to the secluded valley.
"It's strange that there's no one guarding here?" On the way, Tang Wuan was a little puzzled.
"The area around this valley is no man's land, and it is normal that no one guards it. But we're aiming too big, so we're here to wait for reinforcements to arrive! Aliu said.
"Hmm!" Tang Wu'an took ordinary people to guard the top of Youyun Valley, while Jiang Xiaohao and Ah Liu took Xiao Yezi and others down to the valley.
A group of people slowly descended along the side...
"Huh? It's so cool in this valley! Jiang Xiaohao was a little surprised in his heart, this Youyun Valley is really as good as its name.
After crawling for a long time, when they landed on a flat ground, they found a dense hole in the surrounding wall.
"There are so many holes here, which one should we go to!" One asked. Aliu was also observing the openings and did not answer.
"Of these holes, only one or two should be correct." Jiang Xiaohao said, "And the people here must always follow those correct paths!" ”
Ah Liu suddenly realized when he heard this, and immediately said: "Go separately to check the traces of these caves!" ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long to find three holes that were often used, and these holes all had obvious signs of use.
"Brother Jiang, it's really amazing!"
"Hahaha, where, where, it's just some reconnaissance skills."
"But there are three paths here, and we'll go our separate ways! If you run into those guys, evacuate immediately! After Ah Liu finished speaking, he led the seven people to a passage.
Jiang Xiaohao also took Xiao Yezi and the other six people into a road, and the others also entered the third cave.
"Uncle, it's so dark here," Xiao Yezi said while holding Jiang Xiaohao's sleeve. "It's okay, follow me!"
At this time, in the deepest part of the valley, there were more than 500 mysterious people gathered in an extremely large cave. Only a few lights were burning, and in the dim light they all knelt in one direction. On the top of the steps, there sat a mysterious man in a red robe, and this person was the valley lord of the valley.
At this time, an old man came up and said, "Lord Valley, a mouse has slipped in," and this old man was the owner of the teahouse.
The valley lord did not speak, but waved his hand at the old man. The old man naturally understood what he meant, and the ceremony was about to be held, and no one could disturb the valley master.
Why, there is not a single guard outside? This made Jiang Xiaohao feel extremely uneasy, and he stepped up his pace to approach the depths of the Hidden Valley step by step.
Aliu's side came to a long stone bridge. There was a lot of lava under the bridge, and he was also very uneasy, but he didn't run into anyone along the way.
As they cautiously walked up to the stone bridge, the dorsal fin of a mysterious creature slowly appeared under the tumbling magma...
Jiang Xiaohao's side is also surprisingly smooth, but this quiet and tense atmosphere seems to be broken at any time. And then there will be a storm.
