“Mm …”

Li Youzi stroked his beard and nodded slightly, “Girls don’t need to be too polite.” At this point, he paused for a moment and asked, “Have you found where Yang Valley is?”

It seemed that he wanted to find Yang Valley more quickly than Xiao Chen. Luo Die looked at him and then at Xiao Chen, seemingly hesitating to say anything. Xiao Chen said, “Senior Li You is here to help us get the Fusang Flower.”

After hearing what he said, Luo Die finally relaxed and said, “I have already found the general direction. I only need to go there. However, I’m worried that someone entered the Mountain of Poor Mulberry a few months ago. Now, I’m afraid that someone will go to Yang Valley before us. I’m afraid that their goal is also the Fusang Flower, so …”

“There’s no need for you to worry about that, young lady.”

Li Youzi seemed so confident that he interrupted her and said, “We just need to get there as soon as possible.”

“Alright …”

Luo Die nodded, but in her heart, she did not trust this Li Youzi, because she did not know how Xiao Chen knew this person.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Chen glanced at the mountains that were shrouded in twilight. The three of them did not hesitate any longer and immediately set off in the direction of Yang Valley.

Luo Die led the way until midnight. A cold wind blew past the forest. The three of them stopped at the same time. Li Youzi turned around and looked at the two of them. “I’ll go ahead and take a look. You guys can stay here.” With that, he pinched the seal on his hand and rode into the valley ahead in a gust of wind.

Luo Die watched as his figure gradually disappeared into the night. After a long time, he turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. “This Li Youzi’s cultivation is very high. How did you know him? Why did he help you get the Fusang Flower?” He said.

Xiao Chen looked at the crescent moon in the sky and slowly sat down under a large tree. He said indifferently, “Everyone gets what they need, and each of them benefits from it.”

Luo Die seemed to understand, but he didn’t think Li Youzi would help for no reason and asked, “Where’s Wuji Shangren? Did you escape his pursuit before?”

“He’s dead.” Xiao Chen sat under the tree and said indifferently.

“Dead …”

Luo Die’s entire body trembled. After thinking for a while, she whispered, “Is that Senior Li You who killed him for you?”

“No.”

Xiao Chen’s tone was still calm. Hearing that, Luo Die was even more stunned. Could it be that Wuji Shangren’s avatar was killed by him?

That night, the two of them sat in the woods and slowly stopped talking. It was getting colder and colder. Xiao Chen found some firewood and set up a fire. Occasionally, he threw a branch into the fire and watched the branch burn to ashes. The flames seemed to have turned into ashes.

Luo Die sat beside him and quietly looked at him without saying a word. This man in front of her was the strangest man she had ever seen in the world. Even though he was always so cold, as cold as the moonlight in the sky, he was clearly impossible to reach, but he was still shining on her body.

She couldn’t understand this man any more. Just like now, she didn’t know why he would look at this pile of fire in a daze. Sometimes, she looked at him like she was looking at a cold-blooded killer. The sword in his hand had always been ruthless, but would the owner of the sword have feelings for him?

A night passed by. Unknowingly, Luo Die fell asleep against the tree trunk. This was the first time in the past few days that she had slept so peacefully with a man she had never known before.

Beside him, Xiao Chen had been staring at the fire. The quieter the surroundings were, the more noisy his mind became. It was as if the sound of the Golden Gorge Iron Horse’s killing intent was constantly sounding in his mind, causing the killing intent in his heart to suddenly become heavier and heavier.

At this moment, it was as if he had seen an ancient village that had flowed with blood overnight from the flames in front of him. Ning Village, who had been destroyed overnight, had seen Niang. He had seen the villagers covered in blood. He had seen the slaughter. He had seen the strange laughter of the person who had arranged it.

An identity that absolutely cannot be revealed …

That person has an identity that absolutely cannot be revealed …

Why did he slaughter Ning Village? Why did he slaughter Ning Village!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s body was filled with hostility. A cold wind blew over, causing the fire in front of him to burn even more brightly. The flames suddenly turned into scenes of slaughter and bloodshed! The vengeful spirits surrounded him, and the howling of fierce ghosts echoed in his ears. It was an ancient village that had flowed with blood, and it was also Ning Village that had been slaughtered overnight.

Suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot and turned blood red. It was as if he had fallen into a madness. After an unknown period of time, the fire had finally been extinguished. The last trace of fire had also been extinguished. Suddenly, the surroundings became pitch black. The illusions in the surroundings had all disappeared, and the surroundings became quiet again.

“You … what’s wrong with you …”

Xiao Chen had already squeezed out fresh blood from his palm. At this moment, a thin voice sounded in his ears. It was Luo Die who was staring at him blankly. She thought that she was awakened by the murderous aura emitted from his body just now.

She had never seen this man in front of her look as terrifying as before. It was not a madness, but hatred filled her eyes …

All she saw in his eyes was hatred, a hatred that turned into tears of blood!

However, how could such a deep hatred be buried in his heart? She couldn’t help but shiver deeply. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes just now, perhaps she would never have believed that this man, who had been with her for almost three months, would have endured an endless torment of hatred every night, turning him into a demon-like ghost.

But at this moment, she was not afraid. Instead, she felt heartache. She buried her sorrow in her heart, a strange man who would never speak.

…

After an unknown amount of time, the sky gradually lit up. The fire in front of them had long since been extinguished, leaving only scattered sparks. Along with the early morning wind, it suddenly lit up and dimmed.

Right at this moment, a voice gradually sounded from outside. A figure walked in. It was Li Youzi who returned. Xiao Chen immediately stood up and asked, “Senior, what did you find out?”

At this moment, it was as if nothing had happened to him. Luo Die lowered her head and remained silent. Li Youzi glanced at the two of them and said, “There are many people nearby. Furthermore, I can sense that there are a few old monsters at the Profound Comprehension Realm in this mountain. For the time being, I don’t know their identities … However, it seems that the Fusang Flower will indeed appear, which is why it has attracted so many people.”

Xiao Chen gradually frowned. Fortunately, Li Youzi was here this time. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to get the Fusang Flower. Luo Die looked at him and whispered, “Then … shall we leave now?”

“It’s not too late. Let’s leave immediately.”

Xiao Chen looked towards the white-bellied Dongfang Skyline. His eyes were fixed. Even if he were to carve out a bloody path, he would definitely snatch the Fusang Flower from his hands.

…

Three days later, under the lead of the Setting Butterfly, the three of them finally found the legendary Yang Valley. However, when they arrived, it was already dusk and sunset. According to the legends, Yang Valley was the place where the sun rose. Therefore, a thick layer of white mist had already enveloped a radius of a hundred kilometers nearby.

“The fog here is too heavy. I’m afraid that only tomorrow morning will the fog slowly disperse …”

Luo Die looked at the thick white mist in front of her and slowly stopped. Apart from the three of them, there were quite a few other people here. It seemed that they were all waiting for the mist to dissipate tomorrow morning.

“That’s not right … If the fog would dissipate after sunrise, then there would have been someone here a few days earlier than us, but why does it look like no one has entered Yang Valley at this moment?”

Xiao Chen took a few steps into the thick fog. He couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. Could it be that there were restrictions outside Yang Valley, or something else that made it impossible for everyone to pass through?

Right at this moment, a hoarse and gloomy old man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind him, “Little brother, in front … I’m afraid I can’t leave.”
