It wasn’t until the next night that Xiao Chen and the others arrived at the Misty Flower Forest 800 kilometers away. The forest was covered with a layer of light smoke and a faint fragrance. As they approached, they could feel an extremely abnormal Spiritual Energy.

“The aura here is so strange …”

Leng Baihu focused his attention on his surroundings, and Xiao Ling’er naturally felt that the abnormal Spiritual Energy came from the end of the Fog Flower Forest.

“Be careful.”

Xiao Chen knew that there would definitely be people from Yun Sect nearby. However, with his and Xiao Ling’er’s spiritual sense, it wasn’t difficult to avoid these people. Moreover, these people were already controlled by the three old men’s talismans. There was no need to be afraid of them.

The night was dark. The three of them carefully walked through the Misty Flower Forest. The moonlight in the sky could shine down on them. However, the three of them were still in the forest like they were looking for flowers in the mist, unable to see clearly.

About an hour later, the three finally passed through the Fog Flower Forest. At the end of the forest, the moonlight was like water. It turned out to be a lake, reflecting moonlight and sparkling.

“Could this be SorrowlessValley?”

Arriving in front of the lake, Leng Baihu looked around. Everything was clearly visible under the moonlight. The mountain, the water, and the jungle that bloomed with flowers all emitted a peerless immortal aura.

This place was like the Outer Realm. It was completely different from the evil path of the mountains. No wonder so many people couldn’t find this place. This place was actually so concealed. Even without the fierce formations outside, it wouldn’t be easy for ordinary people to find this place.

“Shh … there’s someone.”

Suddenly, Xiao Ling’er made a silent gesture. On the other side of the lake, a few figures suddenly walked over from afar. However, looking at those people, their walking postures were extremely stiff. Most of them were Yun Sect disciples controlled by Fu Yan.

The three of them immediately crouched down to avoid being discovered by the puppet men. After a while, the puppet men patrolled around the lake and then walked back.

“Follow them.”

After those people disappeared into the distance, Xiao Chen immediately followed them and arrived at a relatively spacious place. The three old men on the altar were currently sitting cross-legged on the ground, their palms pressed together. White smoke was emitting from their backs and heads, as if they were cultivating something.

“They are …”

Xiao Ling’er’s face was slightly shocked. She had an extremely powerful [Qi Looking Art] that could easily pierce through a person’s cultivation. At this moment, she could clearly see that the cultivation of the three old men was constantly retreating, slowly approaching that of a mortal …

Even if Xiao Chen didn’t have this kind of Qi Seeking Technique, he could still sense that the cultivation aura on the three old men’s bodies was getting fainter and fainter …

At this moment, he completely understood that if he wanted to enter the Carefree Valley, he must first pass the restriction. However, it was difficult for cultivators to pass the restriction outside SorrowlessValley. That was why the three of them had to “turn” themselves into mortals in an attempt to deceive the world and enter SorrowlessValley.

…

By dawn, the cultivating aura on the three old men’s bodies was almost gone. They looked like mortals in the mortal world, but this feeling was not as pure as that of the senior from Suzhou or that old beggar from Qingzhou.

At this moment, Xiao Chen held his breath and stared at the three people in the distance motionlessly. Although they no longer had the aura of cultivators, they could not be said to be returning to their original state.

The reason why they were able to become similar to mortals was all because of that blood pill, and that blood pill was a living pill that they had refined from countless mortals …

“Junior brothers, what do you think?”

Old man Qingyi opened his eyes first. At this moment, his gaze was as calm as a mortal’s.

The other two also opened their eyes. They looked like experts from the outside world who had already attained the Dao and returned to their original state. However, Xiao Chen only smiled coldly in his heart. If he hadn’t personally witnessed the actions of these people that night, perhaps he would have felt that these three people in front of him were experts who had already returned to their original state.

“Mm, this is mysterious. It really is hard to describe …”

The red-clothed old man took a deep breath, but looking at his current appearance as a Dao Master, it was as if even he himself felt that he was returning to simplicity and truth.

Old man Qingyi said, “The Mortal Transformation Pill can only last for twelve hours. Within twelve hours, we must enter the valley.”

“Let’s go.”

The three of them did not hesitate any longer and immediately got up and walked towards the depths of the wilderness. At this moment, the dozens of disciples who were already under the control of the Annoying Technique also followed them stiffly like puppets.

Annoyance techniques could control the minds of others, but like the three of them, controlling the disciples’ thoughts and actions directly with talisman annoyance and then manipulating them like dead puppets could only be considered inferior. In the eyes of true experts of annoyance techniques, it was completely out of the ordinary.

After the three of them left, Xiao Chen, Xiao Ling’er, and Leng Baihu walked out from behind a boulder.

Xiao Ling’er frowned slightly and looked in the direction where the three of them disappeared. “There seems to be a very powerful restriction formation over there …” she said.

“En … be careful.”

Xiao Chen walked forward. Although the three of them seemed to have lost their cultivation for the time being, they still couldn’t afford to let down their guard. After all, other than those few people, it was unknown if there were anyone else nearby.

The three of them carefully followed the three old men from Yun Sect to a stone forest. They saw giant stones standing there, and each stone was covered with runes. It seemed that these stones were where the restriction array was.

At this moment, on the southeast side of the stone array, the three old men were breaking through the array. As for the disciples controlled by Fu Yan, they were all guarding outside to prevent a sneak attack.

After a while, the stones began to change positions. Their speed became faster and faster. At this moment, a large amount of dark clouds had suddenly gathered in the clear sky.

Leng Baihu naturally couldn’t understand such an unfathomable restriction formation, but Xiao Ling’er seemed to be able to see through the flames. Suddenly, her expression changed, “Something is wrong …”

“What’s the matter?”

Xiao Chen looked at her. Actually, a complicated formation like this couldn’t even be seen through by him for a moment, let alone decipher it.

At this moment, Xiao Ling’er’s face turned slightly pale as he said, “This formation … is the formation that opened SorrowlessValley. However, once the formation is opened by them, then we won’t be able to enter …”

“Then what should we do?”

Leng Baihu frowned and asked.

Compared to Xiao Chen, he seemed to be more concerned about how to enter Worry-free Valley. After all, he had gone through countless obstacles this time to find Xiao Chen’s location. Now that he had found SorrowlessValley with great difficulty, he could only watch as others entered. How could this work?

“Wait, let me think …”

Xiao Ling’er also gradually frowned and started to think. After a while, she said, “We must interrupt them and then activate the formation. This is the only way …”

Just as she finished speaking, a cold aura suddenly permeated from behind the three of them. Leng Baihu’s entire body trembled. He turned around and saw two puppets standing behind him at an unknown time. Their eyes were bloodshot and their faces were filled with yin energy. They were extremely terrifying.

“Avoid!”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pushed the two away. At the same time, the two puppets controlled by Fu Yan slammed down with their palms. With a “rumble”, they instantly shattered a huge boulder that the three of them had just stood on.

Xiao Ling’er could barely withstand the violent winds, but Leng Baihu was already shaken by the two palms, causing his blood and qi to surge. He had no choice but to quickly condense his internal energy to protect his heart meridians.
