The people present, most of them were reluctant to leave Kunlun Mountain. These were people who had a good relationship with Su Yang, and they all wanted to save Su Yang here.
However, not everyone could stay on Kunlun Mountain, as matters in the Human World were more important.
After discussing with Black Widow, Qi Zhishan finally decided to leave two-tenths of the people here to guard the area. The others left Kunlun Mountain, following Qi Zhishan to deal with the Divine Master's group outside.
Of course, for safety reasons, Qi Zhishan and Old Zhang tead up to leave so arrays near the Turquoise Pool. If anyone approached, they would be temporarily trapped by these arrays, and others would imdiately receive the signal, hiding in so other arrays. At the sa ti, Qi Zhishan and Old Zhang would also receive the signal and rush to Kunlun Mountain for rescue at the first instant.
This array didn't hold much significance for those with strength comparable to Qi Zhishan and Old Zhang. However, retaining this array was at least better than nothing, better than having none at all.
The current situation in the Human World was extrely complex, and the sudden ergence of the Divine Master's group made it even more so. In such circumstances, no one could predict what the future might hold, and Qi Zhishan could only do his best.
After making all the arrangents, Black Widow stayed here with Ye Wantong, Ying'er, Huo Qianfang, and Hu Xixi to keep watch.
The vast majority of the others left Kunlun Mountain with Qi Zhishan. Lv Donglin also left with Qi Zhishan.
Lv Donglin originally didn't want to leave, but in the end, Qi Zhishan insisted he go with them. It wasn't for any other reason than the uncertainty of whether the Beigong War God was alive or dead, so Lv Donglin had to search for the War God, which was also an extrely critical task.
Everyone scattered, and Black Widow and the others continued to roam around the valley, trying to find a gap to enter. However, over ti, their hopes were gradually worn away.
Could Su Yang still survive after entering the Turquoise Pool?
...
At the bottom of the valley, on the edge of a large lake, a man was vigorously pulling a gigantic net out of the lake.
Not far away, there was an incredibly beautiful girl dressed in coarse linen, walking slowly while carrying a bundle of firewood. When she saw the man, a sweet expression appeared on her face. She brought the bundle of wood near a small straw hut not far away, picked up a bamboo cup, and scooped out a cup of water from a stone jar beside it, striding quickly to the lakeside.
By this ti, the man had already dragged the net out of the lake. The net was loosely woven, made of so hemp rope, but the harvest inside was great. Once the net was pulled out, it revealed over a dozen large, snow-white fish thrashing about wildly, each weighing three or four pounds.
"Brother Su, have so water!" The girl handed the bamboo cup to the man, glanced at the fish in the net, and instantly exclaid with joy, clapping her hands, "Wow, we netted so many fish this ti. Brother Su, we'll have plenty of fish to eat in the next few days!"
The man looked up and smiled gently. If Black Widow were here, she'd recognize at a glance that this man was her brother, Su Yang. As for the girl beside him, she was Qi'er.
Su Yang seed more mature now, and Qi'er had grown up, graceful and elegant, no longer the naive little girl she used to be.
Su Yang dragged the net to the shore, took Qi'er's bamboo cup, and drank its contents in one gulp. Then, he took out a piece of hemp rope, strung all the white fish from the net together one by one, slung them over his back, and walked back to the straw hut with Qi'er.
He skillfully cleaned all the white fish, salted them, and hung them on a wooden rack at the door to dry.
Qi'er was also busy; she had already taken one of the white fish and was simring a pot of soup. By the ti Su Yang finished his tasks, the fish soup was ready.
"Brother Su, we'll have fish for lunch today." Qi'er smiled and said, "You wait, I'll go pick a few peaches for you to eat, okay?"
"Alright!" Su Yang nodded with a slight smile.
Qi'er grabbed a small basket and skipped off to the small woods behind. Su Yang sat at the table, looking at the marks on it, and found himself lost in thought.
Upon careful calculation, it had already been a full three years since they entered this valley.
He recalled that when they first fell into this valley, upon landing, Su Yang imdiately lost consciousness. When he awoke, he found himself alone, standing on an empty grass field, with not a single person around.
At that ti, Su Yang was a bit dumbfounded, and it took him a while to rember what had happened. He quickly got up and looked up, only to see a clear blue sky above him, with no sign of the previous unusual celestial phenonon.
Su Yang didn't know what was going on; he tried to fly up and out of this valley. However, when he began to take action, he was astonished to discover that all the power in his body had disappeared entirely. He couldn't fly; all his strength seed to be sealed away.
This situation shocked Su Yang to the extre, as he couldn't comprehend what had gone wrong. He had just fallen from the mountain top, wasn't even injured, yet how did his power vanish? What was going on?
Moreover, Su Yang soon discovered that several of his storage rings were gone too. All the things he carried were missing without a trace, which made him even more panicked.
This was because Qi'er was in one of those storage rings. Su Yang had let her rest inside at the ti. But now that the storage rings were gone, didn't that an Qi'er was lost too?
This developnt made Su Yang extrely nervous, and he hurried to his feet, searching the vicinity carefully. However, after searching for a long ti, he still didn't find anything.
Additionally, Su Yang rembered that the Winged Cultivators who fell with him were now nowhere to be seen either, making the situation even stranger.
Could it be that these people sealed his power and stole his storage rings?
But that didn't make sense. If they had truly found him, they should have captured him and forced him to reveal the whereabouts of the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book and the Destiny Compass. Why would they just do these things? Logically, they should either have woken him up and forced him to hand over the items or captured him to interrogate him slowly.
Alternatively, even if those people didn't want those items, they should have at least killed him instead of just doing so little!
Unable to figure out the reason, Su Yang had no choice but to start exploring the place. He was no longer in a hurry to leave the valley; he at least needed to find Qi'er first and leave with her.
