598: 598 598: 598 Zhou Yu carried Li Shuangshuang, fully exerting his Mountain River Step, and like a bolt of lightning, took less than two hours to rush back to the village.
However, upon arriving at the familiar entrance of the village, Zhou Yu was stunned.
The village had vanished!
How could such a large village simply disappear?
Zhou Yu imdiately realized it was a Formation!
This was very much in line with the old man’s style.
“That old man!!!”
“He actually used a Formation to hide the village?”
“Who is he guarding against?”
Facing the Formation laid out by the old man, Zhou Yu had no solution.
Not to ntion breaking the Formation, he couldn’t even sense where it was.
With no other choice, Zhou Yu could only shout loudly:
“Old man, I’m back.”
“I have an urgent matter, a matter of life and death, co out quickly!!!”
However, after shouting several tis, there was no response.
Zhou Yu’s expression turned ugly.
He suddenly considered a possibility!
Why did the old man use a Formation to cover the village?
Could it be that he left the village?
Where did he go?
In an instant, various thoughts flooded his mind.
With ti of the essence and the old man not appearing, Zhou Yu couldn’t keep waiting indefinitely.
He took a deep breath, picked up Li Shuangshuang, and ran towards the depths of the mountains.
Depending on the mories of his childhood, he ran through the forest for nearly two hours, and finally, he found the valley in his mory.
Zhou Yu placed Li Shuangshuang in a safe spot, then strode toward the valley.
The valley was situated low, surrounded by dense foliage, and brimming with intense Yin energy; there was no sound at all, not even the chirping of insects or the call of birds.
In broad daylight, the area was filled with an eerie atmosphere.
If a cowardly person ca here, they would probably be scared to pee.
Zhou Yu made his way to the depths of the valley, where the Yin energy was so thick it seed like a dense fog, preventing even his Divine Sense from extending.
Zhou Yu frowned slightly and, with all his alertness, relied on the weak sensation of ‘Divine Touch’ to continue down towards the bottom of the valley.
Just then, suddenly, a faint sound reached him.
Whisk!
In the air, it was as if a whip had lashed through.
Zhou Yu reacted extrely fast, stepping back in an instant.
He saw a dark shadow graze past his nose.
In that instant, a wave of icy chill penetrated his heart.
After dodging, Zhou Yu imdiately turned to look, but the shadow had already vanished into the thick Yin energy.
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.
He imdiately began circulating his Nether Fire True Qi and struck out with his palm.
The Nether Fire True Qi transford into a fiery tornado, spreading out in all directions, and wherever the tornado passed, the pervasive Yin energy instantly dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, the Yin energy within a fifty-ter radius around Zhou Yu was swept away.
Zhou Yu slowly turned his body, looking around.
Not long after, he suddenly halted.
Ahead, a cave entrance appeared.
At the entrance, three strikingly enchanting flowers blood among the rocks.
“Ghost Soul Flowers!”
A smile of joy crossed Zhou Yu’s face.
It was unexpected to find them so easily.
Zhou Yu was about to step forward, but as he lifted his foot, his body froze.
He saw, between the three Ghost Soul Flowers, a pair of ghostly pupils suddenly appeared.
Zhou Yu’s pupils shrunk dramatically, revealing a look of shock.
“Is this…
Nine Yin?”
Nine Yin, according to records in the “Classic of Mountains and Seas”, is an ancient Barbaric Wild Beast with a human face and a snake’s body, red all over.
Legend has it that when it closes its eyes, the world plunges into night, and when it opens its eyes, daylight returns.
Of course, legends are just legends, and in reality, there shouldn’t exist such a Barbaric Wild Beast as Nine Yin.
And now, the snake resembling Nine Yin at the entrance of the cave was most likely a rare relic of an ancient beast.
However, this snake’s head had so humanoid features, it was red all over, with vertically elongated eyes that gave off an extrely dangerous vibe.
Just now, it was surely this red snake that attacked him.
At this mont, Zhou Yu was eyeing the red snake coldly.
“Move aside, don’t force to take action.”
The red snake, as if sensing Zhou Yu’s challenge, imdiately opened its mouth wide and let out a piercing shriek.
Suddenly, it disappeared on the spot.
Zhou Yu’s expression darkened, his body sidestepped slightly, and a black shadow flew past his neck.
This thing was too fast.
If it weren’t for his possession of ‘Divine Touch,’ which allowed him to barely sense its movent, anyone else, even a Saint Realm expert, would have t their end here.
After dodging the strike, Zhou Yu raised his hand and pointed with his finger.
The Bursting Fla Finger transford into a flaming teor, shooting out.
This red snake, which had lived its life in this dark place, was naturally afraid of fire.
Zhou Yu’s pointing, although it didn’t strike the red snake, was enough to scare it severely.
It retreated to a spot thirty ters away, coiled around a tree, and hissed at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu watched it coldly.
The red snake opened its mouth again, ready to attack.
But suddenly, Zhou Yu spread his hand open, and from his palm, a stream of Nether Fire True Qi burst forth, forming a ball of fla that leapt and danced.
The red snake, upon seeing the flas, clearly constricted its pupils and retracted its head.
Zhou Yu said coldly,
“You’ve lived until now; you must have lived for many years.
I don’t want to hurt you.”
“But if you keep being rash, I’ll have no choice but to roast and eat you today.”
The red snake, as if understanding Zhou Yu’s words, showed a look of anger and hissed at Zhou Yu three tis in succession.
But then, it spiraled up the tree and disappeared into the Yin energy.
Zhou Yu let out a slight sigh of relief, rushed to the cave entrance, and gathered the three Ghost Soul Flowers.
He then turned and ran out of the valley.
