Xuanling Dynasty, Mingling Valley.
This place is located in the basin formed by two mountain ranges.
There are many trees here, and the trees in the valley are like a giant umbrella in the sky, covering the entire valley and blocking out all the sunlight.
Dead silence.
Not a single sound was heard in the entire valley, and it seemed as if there were no living creatures in the huge valley.
In the valley, clouds and mist were lingering, and visibility was less than 100 meters.
Everywhere he looked, there were bones.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in a dense jungle. Immediately afterwards, a figure in white slowly emerged.
It was Lin Beichen who left Yuzhou Fucheng.
Since Lin Beichen broke through to the Tianyin realm, his speed has reached an extremely terrifying level.
Originally, at his original speed, it would have taken him at least half a day to get from Yuzhou Fucheng to his current location.
But now, with all his strength, he landed here in just two or three hours.
"Is this the legendary forbidden area of death?"
Looking at the extremely gloomy environment in front of him, Lin Beichen couldn't help but look a little solemn, and he suddenly became wary.
According to Xue Ming's memory, where he is now is the periphery of the 'Netherworld Valley'. But he didn't know exactly what was in the depths.
Even if he searched through Xue Ming's memories, he could not find any information about the depths.
"In two days, the leader of the Blood Clothes Sect will leave the 'Netherworld Valley' and return to the Blood Clothes Sect."
Lin Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself.
His plan this time was to take advantage of the blood-clothed sect leader's departure from the 'Netherworld Valley' to go deep into the valley to find a way to see if he could destroy the magic sword.
From Xue Ming's memory, he learned that he only had about seven days to try.
Even if he couldn't succeed within seven days, he would leave here.
After seven days, the leader of the Blood Clothes Sect will bring the newly collected souls from the Blood Clothes Sect to sacrifice the magic sword.
He didn't know the detailed information about the magic sword, so he could only try to find a way.
In the entire Blood Clothes Sect, if anyone knows the details of this magic sword, it is only possible that he is the leader of the Blood Clothes Sect.
But even if he didn't know the information, he still had to go in and try.
From Xue Ming's memory, he already knew that the sacrifice of this demon sword had come to an end. With about 100,000 more souls, the leader of the Blood Clothes Sect could successfully sacrifice the demon sword.
Judging from the blood-clothed sect's aggressive massacre of the city to collect souls some time ago, it is very likely that these are the last batch of souls.
If he cannot destroy the magic sword this time, he will not have another chance.
Once the Blood Clothes Sect obtains this peerless weapon, the Xuanling Dynasty may usher in an unprecedented turmoil.
Today's Blood Clothes Sect, even the royal family of the Xuanling Dynasty, can't suppress it, let alone let them get this magic sword again?
By then, the entire Xuanling Dynasty will be in ruins, and no one will be able to suppress the Blood Clothes Sect who holds such a peerless weapon!
"We must not let it continue to develop. I must prevent this catastrophe from happening!" Lin Beichen's eyes were firm and he thought to himself.
His fists were clenched tightly, and his ten fingers were deeply inserted into the flesh of his palms, and traces of blood slid down his fingers.
He is no longer the person who had no worries before. Now, he has many more bonds in his heart.
Xuanyuanzong...Ji Ziyue...Master...and the friends I met along the way...
These are the bonds in his heart, and he will not allow any of these people to be harmed!
Therefore, even if there are many difficulties and dangers ahead, he must go!
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked into the depths of the valley. Even though the visibility was less than a hundred meters due to the clouds and mist, it could not hide the light in his eyes.
"call......"
After staring blankly for a long time, Lin Beichen took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it, and slowly released his fists from their clenched state.
With a thought, all the remaining spiritual crystals on his body appeared in front of his eyes.
"This is the entrance and the exit. Let's set up a 'concealment array' here." Lin Beichen murmured softly.
Then with a wave of his hand, Lin Beichen began to place the spiritual crystals one by one in the position of the magic circle.
Two hours later, a golden light flashed through, and the power of the magic circle rippled out in waves.
A magic circle with the same aura as the one that covered up the traces of the Taoist sect's secret realm suddenly appeared.
After Lin Beichen breathed a long sigh of relief, he immediately raised his legs and walked into the magic circle.
The light flashed past, the space was distorted in an instant, Lin Beichen disappeared in place, and the periphery of the 'Underworld Valley' returned to calm.
From the outside, there is nothing strange here, but Lin Beichen, who is in the magic circle, can clearly see the outside world at this moment, and no move can escape his eyes.
"Just wait here. After the leader of the Blood Clothes Sect leaves, I will remove the magic circle and go deep into the depths to find a way to destroy the magic sword."
Lin Beichen thought to himself, then sat cross-legged to recharge his batteries. But he simply closed his eyes and rested, and did not dare to enter the cultivation state.
First, he was worried that he would be so absorbed in practicing that he would lose track of time and not even know that the leader of the Blood Clothes Sect had left.
The second is that they are worried that the aura fluctuations generated by practice will leak out of the magic circle, causing them to be discovered by the leader of the Blood Clothes Sect.
After all, this was his first time using the 'Concealment Formation' to hide his traces, and he was somewhat worried about whether he could escape the influence of the blood-clothed sect leader. After all, he was a legendary high-level expert in the Tianyang Realm.
A figure who stood at the top of the Xuanling Dynasty, the strongest group of people in the entire Xuanling Dynasty.
However, most people don't seem to be fine, and they only feel it once after taking a few steps. However, he also has some confidence in this 'Concealment Formation'. As long as he is a little more careful and restrains his aura, he should not be discovered.
In the magic circle, there is no concept of time, just passing by minute by second, which is particularly boring.
However, Lin Beichen did not dare to relax at all, and held his attention tightly to observe the movements of the outside world.
I don’t know how long it took.
There were gentle footsteps coming from deep in the valley.
The sound moves from far to near.
"coming..."
Lin Beichen held his breath nervously, controlling the breath all over his body, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Suddenly, a humanoid silhouette appeared in the mist.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, the outline gradually became clearer.
This is a man with a hooked nose.
A man wearing a blood-clothed robe similar to the Blood-clothed Sect disciples Lin Beichen had seen.
The man's eyes were plain but full of blood, extremely strange, and the bloodthirsty aura emanating from his body made people shudder.
The hook-nosed man walked slowly towards the 'disappearance array' arranged by Lin Beichen, which was also the only entrance and exit in the 'Underworld Valley'.
Ten meters...
five meters...
Seeing the hook-nosed man walking straight towards him, Lin Beichen didn't dare to move at all in the magic circle, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.
After a few breaths, the hook-nosed man took slight steps and passed by the magic circle where Lin Beichen was.
"call......"
Lin Beichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, the hook-nosed man's raised feet froze slightly, and then suddenly turned around, his eyes fixed on the position of Lin Beichen's magic circle.
In an instant, Lin Beichen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly looked away from the hook-nosed man. His heart suddenly rose to his throat. At this moment, he did not even dare to breathe. Cold sweat continued to flow from his back, and his whole body Frozen at this moment.
Time seems to stand still at this moment, and I don’t know how long it has been.
"Is it an illusion?"
The crimson eyes of the man with the hooked nose narrowed slightly and he murmured softly.
Although the sound was extremely small, to Lin Beichen's ears, it was like an explosion in his ears.
After a few breaths, the hook-nosed man withdrew his gaze, turned around slowly, and continued walking toward the exit. After a while, the entire figure disappeared into the mist.
But Lin Beichen didn't feel relaxed at the moment. His muscles were tense and he didn't dare to make the slightest move.
Sure enough, dozens of breaths later, the figure of the hook-nosed man who had disappeared reappeared.
"I'm still too sensitive. It seems like it's better to get that artifact as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams." The hook-nosed man shook his head slightly, and then strode towards the exit.
After another cup of tea, and after confirming that the hook-nosed man would not leave and come back, Lin Beichen let out a heavy breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Before he knew it, his white gown was completely soaked in cold sweat. Just now he almost thought he was going to be discovered.
"They are worthy of being the top group of people in the entire Xuanling Dynasty. This induction is really terrifying." Lin Beichen was secretly afraid.
If he had made any movement just now, there was a great possibility that the hook-nosed man would notice him even if he was deep in the 'hiding formation'.
After sorting out his clothes, Lin Beichen removed the magic circle with a wave of his hand. The space was distorted, and his figure appeared on the outskirts of the valley.
Now, the first step of avoiding the leader of the Blood Clothes Sect has been passed, and the next step is to enter the depths of the 'Netherworld Valley' to try to find the peerless weapon and wait for an opportunity to destroy it.
In this second level, you need to avoid the strange things that exist in the 'Netherworld Valley'.
After all, only one person can safely walk out of this legendary restricted area of life. It is very possible that there is something extremely terrifying and strange hidden in it.
"The leader of the Blood Clothes Sect seemed to have walked out of the depths just now. Why didn't he seem to be hurt at all?"
"Could it be...that only people with cruel and murderous personalities can get out of this so-called restricted area of life?"
Recalling the information on the bamboo slips that Zhiqing had compiled for him, Lin Beichen frowned slightly, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
After a while, Lin Beichen slowly relaxed his tightly frowned brows and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether this is the case or not, he must go in!
