"What’s wrong?" Shi Feng looked at the beautiful woman, asking with full curiosity.
"This place is too dangerous, I beg you, let Xinn’er stay by your side, and protect her." The beautiful woman spoke, pleading with Shi Feng to allow her daughter to follow them. With his protection, she would be far safer than being by her own side.
"Mother, what about you?" The girl asked after hearing her mother’s words.
"I... we’ll talk about that later," the beautiful woman said, as long as her daughter could be safe, she didn’t want to think about anything else.
"Forget it," Shi Feng said to the mother and daughter, "I will continue exploring this valley. As long as you two do not hinder , both of you may follow. If I notice and am capable within my power, I will remove the danger for you. However, if I don’t notice, then your life and death are up to your own fate."
"In that case, thank you so much." The beautiful woman spoke up, thanking Shi Feng sincerely once again.
They were like Shi Feng, both searching for soone; now without a target, exploring was all the sa. Together, both of them would be under Shi Feng’s protection, which was the best possible outco.
"Let’s go!" Shi Feng said indifferently to the mother and daughter, then he started walking, continuing his exploration in the valley. With the thick grey-white fog veiling the surroundings, it was impossible to know just how vast the valley was, their journey forward was aimless, searching as they went.
Seeing Shi Feng step forward, the mother and daughter imdiately followed, not far behind him.
"Mother, actually, this person isn’t bad, and he’s quite nice," the girl whispered to her mother, watching the figure walking ahead.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don’t let him hear you." Even though the girl’s voice was very small and light, the beautiful woman still feared that her daughter’s voice would be heard by the young man ahead. She whispered like a mosquito, "We have t by fate; he has saved us twice, indeed he is not bad. However, we must rember to repay the kindness. If we get a chance in the future, we must thank him properly."
"Mm!" The girl nodded after hearing her mother’s words.
Thus, Shi Feng, along with the mother and daughter, continued walking through the valley. Before long, another undead appeared from behind, attacking the mother and daughter. Shi Feng kept his promise, unleashing a slash of Blood-colored Blaze Sword Qi, striking the undead and burning it to ashes.
Gradually, more and more undead began to appear — even an undead horde of over a dozen undead. In the end, Shi Feng noticed sothing; the undead that erged were all uniformly at the One-Star Martial Venerable Realm.
He didn’t know if it was these bodies that, through so mysterious power within this mysterious valley, transford into undead and thus possessed the power of a One-Star Martial Venerable, or if only warriors of the One-Star Martial Venerable Realm who died could turn into these undead.
However, to Shi Feng, these were not issues to ponder excessively. The Blood-colored Blaze erupted from his body, sweeping towards the undead horde, instantly turning the area into a raging Blood-colored Sea of Fire. Amidst the sounds that seed like pained shrieks, a dozen bodies were quickly incinerated to ashes by the Blood-colored Fla.
Witnessing the undead horde being burnt to ashes by the Blood-colored Blaze, the mother and daughter following him were inwardly startled. First, they admired Shi Feng’s strength; second, they were fearful, knowing that if they had not been with this young man, if this young man hadn’t been present, facing these undead would surely an certain death.
"Good! So powerful!" The girl said quietly to herself, watching the figure ahead.
"This young man, possessing such strength at a young age, must have an extraordinary background," the beautiful woman murmured to herself as well, looking at the young man ahead, "His future achievents will certainly be beyond imagination."
The beautiful lady murmured to herself, then imdiately thought of sothing else. Looking at her daughter and then at the young man ahead, she realized that they were of similar age. If her daughter could find such a suitor, if she had such a son-in-law...
When this occurred to the beautiful lady, a calling voice suddenly rose beside her, "Mother, what are you dazing off for? Let’s go!"
"Oh!" The beautiful lady snapped out of it from her daughter’s words and saw that the young man ahead had started moving. She quickly caught up with her daughter, but as she thought back to her earlier musings, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She glanced again at her daughter and then at the young man ahead.
As they walked on, corpses beca more nurous in the valley, which seed to be a breeding ground for decayed bodies. Without exception, each corpse possessed the power of a One-star Martial Venerable. Shi Feng slaughtered them along the way, occasionally creating a Blood-colored Sea of Fire.
Gradually, a tall cliff appeared before the group of three, blocking their path.
"Is this the very end of the valley?" Shi Feng murmured, staring at the cliff that had erged ahead.
Seeing the cliff in front of them, the girl exclaid in surprise, "Ah! There’s no path left! Mother, we still haven’t found Father!"
"That’s not right!" The beautiful lady spoke up, shaking her head with a determined expression, "This can’t be the end. There must be a path ahead. I can sense vaguely that your father is in that direction!"
"You can sense the person you are looking for?" Shi Feng turned around after hearing the beautiful lady’s words and asked.
After hearing Shi Feng’s question, the beautiful lady nodded and said, "Yes, that’s correct. Originally, my husband and I each received a Jade Pendant, each inscribed with our signature. So now I can sense that my husband is in that direction ahead, not behind us in the valley."
As she spoke, the beautiful lady opened her palm, revealing a golden Jade Pendant to Shi Feng.
"He’s still in the direction ahead?" Hearing the beautiful lady’s words, Shi Feng turned his head back, looking at the cliff blocking their way, and said, "That ans there should be a path leading forward. Let’s keep looking."
"Mhm!"
"Mhm!"
The two won nodded, then Shi Feng and the two won began searching along the cliff. Since there was still a path to proceed, besides encountering disgustingly decayed corpses, Shi Feng hadn’t sensed the presence of any living beings in the valley.
Nor had he sensed any fluctuations that would indicate an Array, as Piao Xueyan had ntioned that Wushuang was trapped in a dangerous Array.
In that case, perhaps Wushuang, like the person they were searching for, was also ahead in that direction.
Shi Feng thought to himself.
However, it wasn’t long before the group of three, following along the cliff, saw a cave as tall as the gate of a mansion. Looking at this cave, the beautiful lady’s face showed excitent, joy, and anticipation. She said, "That’s right, the sensation is becoming clearer. Chu Yue must be in there! Xinn’er, you’ll be able to see your father very soon!"
