The aura of the cultivators outside was getting closer and closer. Leng Baihu quickened his pace, and the Snow Fox followed behind him.

Leng Baihu didn’t know how many stones there were in the valley with runes on them, so he could only try to activate them one by one.

After arriving next to a stone, Leng Baihu closed his eyes and tried to observe the invisible Xiao Chen around him with the “Qi Looking Technique” taught by Spiritual Energy. Then, he used the cultivation technique taught by Xiao Chen to slowly condense the Spiritual Energy and lead them onto the stone.

After the Spiritual Energy was condensed onto the stone, the symbols on it immediately lit up. The entire stone began to be surrounded by Spiritual Energy, so it could be considered successful in activating it.

“Success …”

Leng Baihu opened his eyes and looked at the stone in front of him that emitted a faint green light. He looked at another stone in the distance with joy and said, “Little fox … let’s go, let’s go over there!”

“Squeak, squeak!”

Snow Fox immediately followed him to another formation of stones. After a long time, more than a dozen formations in the surroundings were lit up by Leng Baihu. He could also find some concealed formations with Snow Fox leading the way.

When the twenty-third formation lit up, an array formation barrier finally enveloped the Immortal Valley. However, there was still a gap between the two. The barrier was not complete, and it was relatively fragile compared to a complete array.

“There should still be a gap …”

Leng Baihu looked around. Although he didn’t know much about formations, he knew that these 24 formations represented the Twenty-Four Solar Terms based on the distribution of the stones just now.

“We’re still short of Gu Yu …”

In the end, Leng Baihu had confirmed Gu Yu’s location. That was where he and Xiao Chen had entered earlier. Now, there was already the aura of a cultivator coming from there. People from outside could barge in at any time.

“Little fox, let’s go.”

Without hesitation, Leng Baihu immediately activated his qinggong and headed in that direction. No matter what, he had to activate this final formation before those people entered.

When he went down there, the stones were blocked by some vines, so he didn’t see them at first.

Just as he was about to tear the vines off the stone, a voice suddenly came from the cave above. “The spiritual energy is getting denser and denser. It shouldn’t be far ahead …”

Shit …

Leng Baihu was slightly shocked. Those people had already arrived. They must activate this formation as soon as possible. Otherwise, the formation would be incomplete. After those people entered, they would be able to forcefully break it apart. At that time, he and Brother Chen would be in danger.

“Squeak, squeak …”

At this time, the Snow Fox also cried out from the side, facing the cave upwards. It seemed that even it could sense danger approaching.

Leng Baihu tried his best to calm himself down. He thought to himself that if those people came this way, they would definitely discover him. No, he had to think of a way to temporarily lure those people to the other side.

“Little fox, can you lure them away?”

Right now, there was nothing Leng Baihu could do. He could only look at the Snow Fox beneath his feet. The fox itself was smart, and this Snow Fox seemed to be more intelligent than an ordinary fox. It must be able to understand his current human language.

“Squeak … squeak!”

Xue Hu nodded. He was actually able to understand his words. He immediately ran upwards and entered the bushes. Very quickly, he disappeared.

After Snow Fox left, Leng Baihu did not hesitate and immediately gathered the nearby Spiritual Energy. With his previous experience, it was not difficult for him to gather Spiritual Energy.

“There seems to be a change in the Spiritual Energy ahead. Strange … Why does it seem like someone is controlling the flow of Spiritual Energy?”

At this moment, the voice inside the cave was even closer. It was the voice of a man. Not long after, another old man’s voice sounded, “Childe, be careful. Someone may be coming in ahead of us …”

Shit …

Leng Baihu’s face was slightly shocked. He recognized this voice. It was the red-clothed old man who had killed on the blood pool that night. It was those mortals who had come to refine pills …

Right now, before the Spiritual Energy was gathered, Leng Baihu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and immediately calmed down. He was no longer disturbed by the outside world and concentrated on gathering the Spiritual Energy.

After a while, five figures finally appeared. They were the three old men who refined pills from mortals in Yun Sect, as well as the Xiao Chen man and Leng Baihu whom Qingyi and Old man Zi Yi had met that day.

“I didn’t expect that this place is really an ancient immortal relic. Looks like the legend is true …”

The man from Qingyi looked at the scene in front of him, not surprised at all. On the contrary, the three old men behind him couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Previously, in order to enter SorrowlessValley, they had used mortals to refine living pills and did heaven-defying things. Now that SorrowlessValley was right in front of them, they finally found it …

“No, Childe, look. It seems like there’s a layer of barrier inside.”

At this time, Old man Zi Yi noticed the array formation in the valley. The man from Qingyi focused his gaze and didn’t seem to care much. He said, “The array formation left behind by the ancient immortal must be extraordinary. However, time is ruthless. No matter how formidable the array formation used to be, there will still be an end to it.”

Hearing this, Old man Zi Yi nodded his head, “Childe’s words are reasonable. This formation is not worrying. We will break it apart later …”

“Squeak, squeak!”

At this moment, a fox’s voice suddenly sounded not far away. The man from Qingyi saw a snow fox that looked very intelligent and said, “There is no need to break the array to avoid messing up the valley’s Spiritual Energy. This fox should know the way to enter the valley. We will follow it.”

“Squeak, squeak!”

Snow Fox cried out twice and immediately ran in another direction. The five people behind him quickly followed him, but unknowingly, they were brought further away by him. By the time they discovered him, Leng Baihu had almost activated the last formation.

“Wait … something’s wrong.” The man from Qingyi finally noticed the abnormality, and the Snow Fox slipped into the bushes and quickly disappeared.

“Quickly return to where you were just now. Spiritual Energy is flowing towards that direction!”

The surrounding barrier had gradually become stronger. No matter how high their cultivation levels were, it was difficult for the five of them to forcefully barge in. When they returned to the previous place, the man from Qingyi finally discovered Leng Baihu. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he couldn’t help but say it. He struck him with a palm.

This palm strike was extremely ferocious. However, when the palm force approached, the formation finally activated. With a “boom”, the Qingyi man’s palm force finally struck the formation barrier.

Leng Baihu’s face was slightly pale. He was also frightened by that moment, and he retreated back repeatedly.

“Squeak … squeak!”

Snow Fox had already run back at some unknown time. Seeing that it was the fox that had taken them away just now, the man from Qingyi’s eyes turned as cold as frost. “That animal intentionally led us elsewhere. Luckily, this brat activated the formation here …”

At this moment, twenty-four formations of profound light suddenly shot into the sky, forming a formidable array Spiritual Energy that enveloped the Immortal Valley. Before this array Spiritual Energy dissipated, no one would be able to enter.

These twenty-four formations represented the beginning of spring, rain, hibernation, equinox, coldness, and the twenty-four solar terms.

The red-clothed old man glanced at Leng Baihu inside the formation. He narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, “Childe, I recognize this kid. He is the kid who was with Xiao Yichen that day. He must be a mortal from West Shu.”

“Oh?”

The man from Qingyi focused his attention and looked at the valley. Spiritual Energy was the strongest in the valley, but there was a dense fog. Presumably, Xiao Yichen was recovering his cultivation inside.

“Little fox … let’s go.”

Leng Baihu picked up the Snow Fox beneath his feet and looked at the five people outside. He did not intend to talk to the five people and headed towards the pond where Xiao Chen was. However, the Qingyi man stopped him and said, “Wait …”

“What are you doing?”

Leng Baihu turned around. He did not have a good impression of these people. When the Qingyi man saw that he was a small mortal youth, not only was he not afraid of him, but he also had such strong hostility towards him, he was naturally displeased. He said, “Open the formation.”

“Heh …”

Leng Baihu sneered and said, “Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. I’ll open the formation so that you can come in and kill Brother Chen and me, right?”

“You call him Brother Chen?” The man from Qingyi looked at him and said indifferently.

“What? Can’t I?”

If it was in the past, Leng Baihu would have been in awe of these cultivators. However, when he learned that night that these people were devils who killed without blinking an eye and refined pills with mortals, he wasn’t afraid anymore.

“Haha …”

The man from Qingyi smiled and looked at him. “Then do you know who Brother Chen is?”

“Of course I know.”

Leng Baihu straightened his chest and coldly snorted, “Brother Chen is the lord of the Lustless Heavens. All of you are afraid of him. Am I right?”

“You’re only half right,” said the Qingyi man coolly.

“Half …”

After all, Leng Baihu was still young. In fact, he was also very interested in Xiao Chen. However, the other party never took the initiative to mention it, so it was not easy for him to ask. Now that he heard someone say it, he was curious and asked, “What is the other half?”

“The other half is something you don’t know …”

The man from Qingyi looked at him. At this moment, even his eyes seemed to turn cold and terrifying. He purposely lowered his voice to a low voice, “He is the master of Diabolism who kills without blinking an eye, so everyone is afraid of him. The demons under him gather, and they easily annihilate the entire sect. Do you know how many people he has killed?”

“Bullshit!”

The more he listened to him, the more frightened Leng Baihu became. How could Brother Chen be the devil who killed people without blinking an eye? However, what this person said seemed to be true. Has Brother Chen really killed many people …

The man from Qingyi looked at him and continued, “A mortal’s life is worthless in his eyes. The only reason he came close to you was because he used you to find SorrowlessValley. Once his cultivation recovers, he will abandon you like an old man without any hesitation.”

“You … you’re talking nonsense!”

Leng Baihu raised his head. At this moment, his face was slightly pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Even his voice trembled, “Brother Chen won’t do anything to me. How can you provoke him?”

Despite his words, Leng Baihu thought to himself, “Is it really what he said? Is Brother Chen the master of Diabolism who kills without blinking an eye? That’s why those people are so afraid of him …”

Seeing his uncertain expression, the man from Qingyi continued, “I just said that if you don’t believe me, you can naturally ask other people outside. I think your perception is not bad, so don’t be mistaken for the rest of your life because you are momentarily confused. How about this, open the formation, and I’ll ask Master to accept you into my Yun Sect Sect. From then on, you will become an Immortal and comprehend the Dao, forever free from the shackles of mortal life and death.”

“Cultivate …”

Leng Baihu raised his head, but in the next moment, his gaze turned cold. He looked at the three people behind the Qingyi man with hatred, “You refined pills with mortals and killed countless people. You deserve to be called immortals. I think you are the demons of Diabolism …”

Upon hearing this, the three old men behind the Qingyi man were all shocked. The three of them didn’t dare to let anyone know about this matter.

As for the man from Qingyi, he naturally didn’t know that the three people behind him were refining pills with mortals. At this moment, he couldn’t help but frown, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Humph!” Leng Baihu snorted coldly and ignored these people. He picked up the Snow Fox and headed towards the Jade Water Cold Pool.

Old man Zi Yi watched as he slowly left. He frowned slightly and asked the man next to him, “Qingyi, what should we do now?”

The man from Qingyi looked at the twenty-four streaks of profound light in the valley and said, “This formation is left behind by an ancient immortal. It cannot be forcefully broken by us. However, it has been a long time since the formation Spiritual Energy disappeared. It is only temporarily activated now. Spiritual Energy will soon retreat. At most, it will take three days. Let’s wait for another three days …”

At the end of his sentence, he looked at the dense fog in the middle of the valley, and his eyes gradually became somewhat gloomy and cold.
