"Emperor Jade, don’t get agitated just yet. I will definitely go to Demon Abyss Valley. As soon as I have clarified this matter, I’ll set off imdiately. Your urgency is of no use right now. Don’t worry!" Lin Fan comforted.
In his heart, Emperor Jade was almost like kin to him.
From the mont Lin Fan set out on his path of cultivation, Emperor Jade had always been by his side.
Moreover, Lin Fan had already promised Emperor Jade that he would help her collect the Three-Life Stone, Yellow Spring Water, and the flowers from the other shore!
Therefore.
Lin Fan had decided that once he had made sense of the situation, he would set off for Demon Abyss Valley imdiately.
On the other hand.
Nangong Zheng had already begun to prepare sending people to continue reinforcing Demon Abyss Valley.
It was then.
Lin Fan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am ready to make a trip to Demon Abyss Valley!"
"What?"
Nangong Zheng was startled.
"Why do you want to go to Demon Abyss Valley?" Xiahou Qiongyin also looked at Lin Fan in astonishnt.
"Lin Fan, Demon Abyss Valley is not a place for amusent. It is extrely dangerous; even cultivators in the Body Integration Realm dare not enter at will. Our Dayan Dynasty has stationed a million-strong army on the outskirts of Demon Abyss Valley, along with the armies from the Nine Immortals Dynasty and Holy Fla Dynasty, totaling several millions, just barely holding their ground. There’s no way to delve deeper; it’s far too perilous. You must not go!" Nangong Li urged him in haste.
Perfectly fine.
Why would Lin Fan go to Demon Abyss Valley?
It was far from being a benevolent place.
"Li’er, trust , I have a reason I must go." Lin Fan looked at Nangong Li steadily, his gaze very sincere.
"You..." Nangong Li looked at Lin Fan, her small mouth slightly ajar.
In the end.
She sighed lightly, sowhat helplessly: "Fine, if you wish to go to Demon Abyss Valley, I will go with you!"
Nangong Li said this with absolute determination.
If risking it all was necessary, she couldn’t let Lin Fan take risks alone.
She was prepared to go together with Lin Fan!
"Don’t go. Like you said, it is very dangerous there. If you go, it will only distract . I alone will suffice. I promise you, I will definitely return safely!" Lin Fan smiled and shook his head.
He was capable of protecting himself going to Demon Abyss Valley alone.
But if he were to take Nangong Li along, she would absolutely be a burden!
Of course.
It wasn’t that Lin Fan disdained Nangong Li, but in the face of danger, her presence would indeed be distracting.
"But I..." Nangong Li still wanted to say sothing.
"Li’er, be obedient." Lin Fan smiled and took Nangong Li’s hand.
Finally, Nangong Li cald down and nodded obediently, "Okay, I’ll obey. You... must return safely!"
"Rest assured, I will absolutely return safely!" Lin Fan promised.
......
......
That very night.
Lin Fan did not delay even for a mont, following the army dispatched by the Dayan Dynasty toward the direction of Demon Abyss Valley.
Now that Lin Fan had learned of the whereabouts of the flowers from the other shore, he definitely had to go back to Demon Abyss Valley!
The Emperor of Dayan could neither stop nor did he attempt to prevent him.
Therefore.
The emperor simply let Lin Fan join the army on their journey.
The commander of the troops was the Dayan Dynasty’s Great General.
"Rember this! No matter who you are, what abilities you possess, or whether you are the Princess’s Prince Consort! Once you join the army, you must follow orders. Starting now, stay put inside the carriage and don’t go anywhere!" The Great General walked over and said in a stern voice, looking at Lin Fan inside the carriage.
Lin Fan had learned before that this person’s na was Wei Wuyong, who looked to be only in his thirties but was in fact likely over a thousand years old.
His cultivation had reached the Void Refining Late Stage realm, just a step away from the Body Integration Realm.
Yet, he still had not entered the Body Integration Realm.
"Fine."
Lin Fan answered indifferently.
He was happy with this arrangent.
Anyway, as soon as he reached Demon Abyss Valley, he would imdiately search for the flowers from the other shore.
As for anything else, Lin Fan didn’t care to think about it.
This ti, Wei Wuyong led a hundred thousand troops towards Demon Abyss Valley as reinforcents, moving rapidly and utilizing huge Transmission Arrays several tis along the way.
Finally.
On the third morning, they arrived outside the Demon Abyss Valley.
The mountains ahead towered into the clouds, their heights exceeding ten thousand ters.
Even the smallest of these mountains easily surpassed Earth’s highest peak.
Indeed.
So of the mountain ranges reached heights of twenty or thirty thousand ters, or even thirty or forty thousand, disappearing into the clouds, hidden deep within their mist.
"How odd. With such high mountains, why is it called the Demon Abyss Valley? Wouldn’t Demon Abyss Mountain be more fitting? This doesn’t seem like a place with a valley!" Lin Fan said to himself.
Suddenly.
A voice reached Lin Fan’s ears: "Hmph! Once you enter the Demon Abyss Valley, you’ll understand. In fact, there’s a gigantic rift within, akin to an abyss, so deep that no one knows its true depth! It is said that it’s the location of the space rift between the Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm!"
Lin Fan furrowed his brow.
He looked towards the back of the coach.
Only then did he notice that Wei Wuyong was riding a horse behind them.
Appearing so quietly that even Lin Fan hadn’t noticed.
However.
Although Wei Wuyong was still as cold as ever today,
The chill in his tone had dissipated quite a bit!
"Eh? Why is your tone much nicer than the previous days?" Lin Fan didn’t hold back and directly asked.
Wei Wuyong’s brow creased; he fell silent for a few seconds before replying: "Because you didn’t cause any trouble among the troops; you’ve been very well-behaved all the way, so my attitude has improved a bit."
Hearing Wei Wuyong’s words, Lin Fan felt sowhat annoyed.
What did Wei Wuyong an by that? Could it be that he thought Lin Fan was only good at causing trouble?
Nevertheless.
Lin Fan didn’t bother to argue with Wei Wuyong and sat quietly in the coach, heading towards the interior of the Demon Abyss Valley.
It was at this mont.
Suddenly, hoofbeats could be heard from ahead, rapid and urgent.
Then.
The ground began to tremble violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Lin Fan’s Divine Sense swept forward only to discover a force of about sixty or seventy thousand, all cavalry, thundering towards them.
"Be on guard!"
Wei Wuyong shouted loudly.
The hundred thousand soldiers he led imdiately went on alert.
"What’s happening?" asked Wei Wuyong.
"Reporting to the Great General! The approaching people are from the Nine Immortal Dynasty’s Sixth Prince. He says he wants to et the Prince Consort," a spy reported breathlessly, having rushed back.
"et ?"
Lin Fan was startled.
There was not a second Prince Consort in the entire army.
Therefore, the Sixth Prince of the Nine Immortal Dynasty could only be seeking him.
"The Sixth Prince of the Nine Immortal Dynasty, nad Li Yichen, is a man with no desire for power, disinterested in the struggle for the Emperor’s throne of the Nine Immortal Dynasty. He had both sufficient qualifications and an incredibly exceptional Cultivation Talent. He was once selected by the Holy Mansion to beco a disciple but he refused!" Wei Wuyong explained indifferently, as if to himself and perhaps for Lin Fan to hear.
"This man is very interested in leading troops into battle! He has even established his own force, the Gray Dragon Iron Cavalry, which is invincible in attack, victorious in every battle, a force I admit I cannot match! And the greatest achievent of Li Yichen is that he led one hundred thousand Gray Dragon Iron Cavalry to kill a Cultivator at the Body Integration Realm stage!"
Having heard Wei Wuyong’s introduction, Lin Fan was also sowhat surprised.
"A Cultivator at the Body Integration Realm stage was killed by a hundred thousand cavalry?" Lin Fan exclaid in surprise.
A Cultivator at the Body Integration Realm stage could rely lift his hand and manipulate the might of heaven and earth, using the Power of Laws.
Not to ntion a hundred thousand cavalry, even a million could hardly bother a Cultivator at the Body Integration Realm stage, right?
"It’s the Gray Dragon Iron Cavalry!!"
"What’s the difference? That’s a Cultivator at the Body Integration Realm," Lin Fan frowned.
"The difference is huge! These hundred thousand Gray Dragon Iron Cavalry are elites among elites. An army of a hundred thousand can withstand an army of a million with ease! And besides, the nurous ants can kill an elephant; even a Cultivator of the Body Integration Realm isn’t invincible!" Wei Wuyong shook his head.
Then.
He frowned slightly.
After a two-second silence.
"Li Yichen is here for you, and you can choose not to et him. I can have him turned away," Wei Wuyong said gravely.
"Why not see him? Let’s et him," Lin Fan said with a light smile.
"You want to et him?" Wei Wuyong looked startled and then gave Lin Fan a deep look, warning him, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you; that man is a madman. If he decides to kill you, even the Holy Mansion might not be able to stop him! It’s better not to et him. Moreover, if Li Yichen reveals any killing intent towards you, your fate is sealed!"
