Chapter 12: Beyond the Valley

In the dense valley, darkness reigns here. The sun was shining overhead, but he couldn't penetrate the darkness in the valley. There was not a single plant around, and the bare rocks were like knives and axes.

Around the valley, there sat nine old men. If you look closely, the positions of the nine people sitting together look like a giant turtle.

At this time, a faint white light emanated from the bodies of the nine people, and their slightly closed eyes twitched up and down a few times from time to time, as if they were suffering some kind of extreme pain.

The outer layer where the nine old men sat cross-legged, on the road leading to the Huangfu family. It was crowded with thousands of people. Among them, there are old people in the twilight, people in the prime of life, middle-aged people with bright eyes, and more heroic young people.

Without exception, these people all emitted a faint white light. It looks particularly eye-catching in the dark world, as if it is about to break through this dark space.

Among the young people, a grim-faced man became the center of all young people. They gathered around the grim-faced man as if he were the shining star.

Suddenly, the grim-faced young man walked forward. The crowd immediately moved out of the way, and the young people around him looked at him with adoration. Even the middle-aged and old men who were a little older nodded at him slightly, showing appreciation in their eyes.

The young man, dressed in a snow-white robe, was windless in the dark, and hurried to the side of a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the valley. The cold arrogance was immediately put away, and there was respect in his eyes, but there was an indescribable indifference.

"Father, there are more and more masters from all over the world, and they must have heard the news from our Huangfu family, and they are all here to get a piece of the pie. Look, what are you going to do?" said the young man in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man kept his eyes closed, and he didn't open them until this time, but said slowly: "You have been to the Heavenly Dao Academy for so many years, and I heard that you have done some great things that are famous in the world. The younger generation of disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy are innumerable. Do you still want to ask me about such a small matter?"

As soon as the young man was told by the middle-aged man, his waist bent even more: "Yes, knowing the father, the child will do it!"

"Shadow!" the young man was just about to turn around, but the middle-aged man who had been closing his eyes suddenly opened his eyes slowly. Intense light burst out of his eyes, glittering like beams piercing the darkness.

"Those who have achieved great things are not informal, and don't care too much about the past. You are the son of my emperor's family, so you have to be responsible. Those people from outside are nothing more than driven by interests, let them go, our top priority is to trap the people in this array!" the middle-aged man slowly spoke, and there was a trace of pity in his brilliant eyes.

But the look of pity vanished only in a moment, and was replaced by a coldness, the same as the one on the young man's face. Turning his head, the middle-aged man continued to close his eyes, silent as a statue.

This young man is Huangfu Ying, he nodded deeply, but deep in his heart that others can't see, there is pain flashing. His father's almost resolute words once again cut off his memories of the past.

The Huangfu family is like this, ruthless is affectionate. What they guard, destined to make them ruthless for the rest of their lives. Even if their relatives die by their side, they can't shed tears, they still have to get up and continue to protect everything in the family with a cold heart.

Huangfu Ying turned around silently, and soon disappeared into the darkness. After he was far away, the middle-aged man who was the head of the family and the father of Huangfu Ying, Huangfu Yiju, slowly opened his eyes.

The shining eyes looked into the depths of the endless darkness, and the corners of his mouth seemed to whisper: "Wan'er, our son, has finally grown up." ”

The closer you get to the Huangfu family, the more cultivators from all walks of life you will encounter. On this day, Long Yunzhou and the others stayed in the last town before entering the valley of Huangfu's house.

The Huangfu family is in a very delicate position, and the towns here are not under the control of any state. They exist independently on the Dragon Soul Continent and are protected by the Xiuzhen family in the city.

The city was crowded with people, and strange costumes abounded, basically all of them were cultivators from all over the Dragon Soul Continent, and there were also some disciples sent by the Xiuzhen family who had never appeared.

Obviously, the big event of the Huangfu family being attacked this time spread to the ears of all the cultivators in the entire continent. They're all on the move, trying to get the most out of it.

But what kind of benefits can attract so many people to this place? Long Yunzhou already had a vague answer in his heart, and the three pieces of glowing green fragments on his chest from time to time were the answer.

Only the opening of the legendary Dragon God's Gate will attract so many monks to this place. A place that can fulfill any wish, a place that can excite everyone may be about to open, and the news alone can cause a catastrophe.

It's just that most of the people who come here may not be sure if the legend is true. Therefore, they did not enter the sphere of influence of the Huangfu family in a big way, but chose to wait and see.

If the gate of the legendary dragon god really opens, maybe the Huangfu family will become a real battlefield, a battlefield that only belongs to the monks.

Xuanyuan Yu is still very arrogant, and as soon as he enters this town, he immediately charters the best restaurant in the city. Hearing the arrival of the eldest prince of Xuanyuan, even the city lord brought the main people of the local Xiuzhen family to meet him.

There is no need to talk about the strength of the Xuanyuan family, these remote Xiuzhen families usually dream of being admitted to the Xuanyuan family. Now that the eldest son of the family has come to the door in person, it would be hell if he didn't greet him well.

Xuanyuan Yu's arrogance didn't change half a point no matter where he went, and when he saw the city lord coming with a group of old men, he just sent people away with a few words of greeting, and he didn't seem to take anyone in the city in his eyes at all.

But the old guys didn't care, but thought it should be so. The eldest son of the dignified Xuanyuan family can say a word to them, which is already enough to give them face, will they still be left to eat.

The entire restaurant was surrounded by the descendants of the Xuanyuan family, to be precise, there were only a few people living in this restaurant at the moment. Those entourage, all of whom have to stay out overnight, this is the embodiment of the domineering spirit of the Xuanyuan family.

In the restaurant, Xuanyuan Yu sat at a table. Long Yunzhou sat opposite him, and on the other side sat Nangong Yun with an indifferent face and Nangong Mi with a clever smile, and on the other side, Lin Feng, who was always silent.

On this trip, there were not many of them, led by Long Yunzhou, a newly promoted elder, to assist the Huangfu family in resisting the strong enemy.

Several people sat together, except for Xuanyuan Yu, who had been drinking generously, Lin Feng looked very awkward. Although Long Yunzhou has always been favored by him, he suddenly became an elder-level figure, pressing on his head like a mountain, which really embarrassed him.

"Dragon...... Elder Long, we are already not far from the valley of the Huangfu family, it is really inconvenient for so many people to move forward together, should we travel lightly tomorrow and arrive at the Huangfu family as soon as possible?" Lin Feng asked.

Long Yunzhou smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Lin, in front of your own people, you don't have to be so polite. In my eyes, you have always been my senior brother, and when no one is around, you still call me by my name. ”

The embarrassment in Lin Feng's heart eased a little, and he nodded with a smile. Xuanyuan Yu next to him laughed, as if he had long known that Long Yunzhou would say so.

"What Senior Brother Lin said is that this operation is full of dangers. Before entering the Huangfu family, we have already met a lot of cultivators, so we should be careful. Tomorrow, according to Senior Brother Lin's words, only a few of us will go. Long Yunzhou then said.

No one had an opinion and the hotel was exceptionally quiet. Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, and only the occasional noise in the street would break the awkwardness of the place.

"What kind of dogs are they, what kind of bullshit do I care about you, the Xuanyuan family, Lao Tzu is happy today, he wants to live here, get out of my way.........." Just when the restaurant was quiet, there was a sudden noise outside the house.

Nangong Yun frowned instantly, and a murderous aura permeated his whole body. Nangong Mi lowered his head and continued to slowly taste the delicacies on the table. Long Yunzhou and Lin Feng slowly turned their heads at the same time, wanting to see why there was no noise outside the restaurant. Only Xuanyuan Yu continued to laugh and drink like a person who had nothing to do, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"You are so rude, I have already told you, this restaurant is our Xuanyuan family today. You little monk, haven't you even heard of the name of the Xuanyuan family?Hmph, you'd better get out of here quickly, or you'll ........."

Before the majestic voice was finished, there was a sudden muffled hum, followed by the sound of breaking the sky, and with a bang, a figure flew directly into the restaurant and landed in the lobby.

The person who flew in died after a few convulsions, his face black and purple, obviously heavily poisonous. The sound of screaming outside the house kept coming, and the guards guarding outside seemed to have been attacked extremely violently, and they didn't even have time to make a call.

Nangong Yun was just about to stand up, but a strong hand pressed on his shoulder, pressing him firmly on the chair.

"Don't panic, just a few clowns jumping off the beam, just let them jump. Xuanyuan Yu withdrew his hand with a smile, but his eyes looked out of the house.

At this moment, three figures appeared outside the lobby at some point. In broad daylight, a cold air fills the air, and there is also a ghost atmosphere in the middle, which makes people shudder.

All three of them had long hair shawls that covered most of their faces. The ghost aura emanated from the bodies of these three people, and their long clothes danced, looking like a ghost.

"It turns out that it's you guys who don't know what to do, I'm happy today, get out of here." Otherwise......" The leader of the three smiled coldly, looking at the dead corpse on the ground, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Are the claws growing again?" Suddenly, a cold voice came and immediately reached the ears of the three ghostly people.

The leader turned his head suddenly, and the moment he saw Long Yunzhou, his pupils contracted, and a sense of resentment was like a volcanic eruption, and he shouted: "It turned out to be you!"
