"Are you sure it’s in the Luoyang Mountain Range?" Lu Ye snapped back to attention, a trace of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, I’m certain. I asked you here to see if you have ti to go and take a look with ," Youluo said seriously, "It’s best to deal with it while the other party is still sealed."
"Do you have a specific location? The Luoyang Mountain Range is quite large."
After thinking for a while, Youluo said, "According to the information, it seems to be in the Soul Falling Valley."
It’s a match...
Lu Ye said, "I recently acquired a treasure map, and the marked location... is also the Soul Falling Valley."
He took out a freshly obtained sheepskin map, and his mind began racing with thoughts.
Could this map be fake?
After taking a look, Youluo exclaid in surprise, "It really is! But, the Soul Falling Valley is extrely dangerous, infested with evil spirits and fierce souls, not to ntion mutated beasts. Even for those in the Innate Realm, you and I must be careful. For an average person to enter, it would be akin to courting death."
Courting death... courting death...
Hearing this, Lu Ye suddenly felt as if he had grasped sothing.
"If the purpose of this map’s existence is to lure people to their deaths... then it all makes sense." After a mont, Lu Ye slowly said.
After thinking it over, Youluo also ca to a realization and exclaid, "You an... soone is intentionally luring people with the treasure map to the Soul Falling Valley?"
Lu Ye replied, "So, what you said about the Soul Falling Valley sealing the people of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect is likely true. It’s highly probable that this map was created by them to attract people, who ultimately end up as skeletons, their blood consud by those sealed from the Celestial Demon Divine Sect."
"Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that the treasure genuinely exists, but the mortality rate exceeds ninety percent. After all, you still need bait to catch a fish."
After listening, Youluo pondered for a mont, then nodded, saying, "Lord Husband, you make a valid point. This treasure map could indeed be a trap."
"So, should we go to the Soul Falling Valley?"
"Yes, we’ll go and have a look," Lu Ye said lightly, "The people of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect are indeed troubleso. If they manage to break free from the seal and grow stronger outside, they’ll be even harder to deal with."
"Here, this is a defensive magical artifact. It requires just a bit of Source Qi to activate, and its effect is slightly better than the Grandmaster Barrier." Youluo took out a defensive magical artifact from her Storage Ring and tossed it to Lu Ye.
Receiving it, Lu Ye glanced at it. It was a palm-sized shield covered in intricate array patterns, carrying a faint sense of weight when held.
"Alright, thank you." The situation in the Soul Falling Valley was uncertain, so Lu Ye didn’t refuse it and accepted it with a nod.
Then, he sent a ssage to Chen Lingxiang, saying he’d be away for a few days and would return once the event started in a few days.
...
Luoyang Mountain Range.
This mountain range stretches nearly ten thousand miles, rich with Heaven and Earth Source Qi, nurturing nurous spirit dicines and spirit grasses, while also drawing in powerful fierce beasts.
Among them, the most fearso place for adventurers is the most dangerous area in the mountain range... Soul Falling Valley!
Rare spirit dicines grow inside, and even the fierce beasts within the valley have mutated, making them extrely difficult to handle.
Even the most experienced adventurers choose to avoid the area where the Soul Falling Valley is located, not daring to cross the line at all.
At this mont, two figures dressed in black were heading directly towards the Soul Falling Valley, a place said to change the color of anyone who hears its na.
These two were, of course, Lu Ye and Youluo.
Even though they wore disguise masks, Lu Ye and Youluo still donned black clothing as they acted together.
After all, if they were unable to eliminate any possible remnants of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect within the Soul Falling Valley, a double disguise would prevent the enemy from discerning their true identities.
The closer they got to the Soul Falling Valley, the quieter it beca. Eventually, even the sound of birds vanished, leaving only a deathly silence behind.
"This is the high-strength Antitoxic Pill I specially collected after returning last ti. As long as the poison isn’t incurable, it should be effective against most poisons."
Youluo took out a bottle of elixir from her Storage Ring and whispered, "Do you want one?"
Although Lu Ye had said last ti that he was sowhat special and not too afraid of poison, better safe than sorry.
If the other side possessed so extre poison... well, the Antitoxic Pill might not help either.
"You take it." Lu Ye said, "If I need it, I’ll let you know."
Monts later, after taking the Antitoxic Pill, Youluo officially joined Lu Ye in passing through the outer weeds and entering the Soul Falling Valley.
Just upon entering, a faint sound of weeping seed to co from a distance, as if soone was crying in endless grief.
The eerie weeping was so haunting that it could even cause slight dizziness in one’s mind when heard for a long ti, clouding one’s clarity.
"This is the work of the evil spirits inside. If you feel uncomfortable, you can try to block out your hearing. It should help a lot," Youluo said in a low voice.
Lu Ye remained composed, clearly unaffected, "Let’s go, it’s fine."
As the two ventured deeper, mutated fierce beasts began to appear, attacking with intense malice aid at them.
However, the fierce beasts with malice that might obstruct those in the Innate Realm couldn’t even get within five ters of them before they were all slain.
It wasn’t Lu Ye who acted but Youluo.
Watching the cold young woman beside him, Lu Ye was a bit surprised, "You’re at the Ninth Layer Middle Stage?"
The first ti he t her, she seed to be at the Grandmaster Ninth Layer Early Stage.
Youluo clapped her hands, smiling with a bit of pride, "Give a little more ti, and I’ll reach the Grandmaster soon."
...
The two didn’t waste much ti on the outskirts, progressing swiftly into the depths of the Soul Falling Valley, where groups of evil spirits began to appear.
The evil spirits here were sowhat different from those in the Black Forest Swamp, being more cunning.
Not only would they ambush and swarm in attacks, but when things went south, they would also attach themselves to mutated fierce beasts, letting out those previously heard eerie cries, causing dizziness and attempting to escape.
Lu Ye didn’t waste energy exterminating the fleeing evil spirits, as there were too many dead corpses in the depths of the Soul Falling Valley, and the evil spirits were everywhere, impossible to kill entirely.
However, when they finally ventured deep inside, their actions awakened powerful evil spirits.
A massive swarm of evil spirits, about six or seven ters wide, shrouded in black mist, erged like a king among evil spirits from the deepest part.
The terrifying aura surrounding it caused the neighboring evil spirits to tremble.
Even several observing mutated fierce beasts, comparable to Grandmasters, showed a hint of dread and fear at this mont.
Atop the massive evil spirit, nurous faces continuously twisted and morphed, seemingly the fused faces of cultivators in their previous lives.
When she saw one of the twisted faces, Youluo, who hadn’t spoken since, couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback.
"Zi Ji?!"
