Hearing this gloomy voice, Xiao Chen immediately stopped and turned around. Behind the three of them, an old man with a hunchback appeared.

The old man was wearing a blue-and-white coat. He was holding a wooden staff in his hand. The wrinkles on his face looked like mulberry leaves that had fallen all over the ground. His hair was also thin and sparse. He looked exceptionally old, as if he was going to be buried at any moment.

However, this old man seemed to be weak, but he was able to come outside Yang Valley. Could he be an ordinary person? Especially at this moment, Xiao Chen discovered that with his keen divine sense, he was unable to sense his opponent’s cultivation. This person’s cultivation was probably very high, at least not below Li Youzi’s.

Li Youzi and Luo Die also turned around and looked at the strange hunchbacked old man in front of them. Li Youzi’s cultivation was high and his expression did not change. However, Luo Die, who was beside him, was startled by the wrinkles on his face. How could there be such an old man in the world? It was as if he had clearly died of old age, but he suddenly came back to life …

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, “Senior, how should I address you?”

“Cough cough …”

The hunchbacked old man coughed twice and slowly said, “This old man is just trying to remind you of my kindness. I can’t go any further. If I go alone, I will only give up my life, no matter how high my cultivation level is …”

As he spoke slowly, he leaned on his wooden staff and staggered to the other side. His back gradually disappeared into the fog.

Xiao Chen stared at his disappearing back and felt that this person was a little strange. However, he thought that it might be reasonable for him to not let himself go there. In any case, the fog in front of him was getting heavier and heavier. Since he could not enter Yang Valley, he might as well wait outside for a night.

“Then why don’t we find a place first and wait for a night to see?”

Luo Die looked at the two people beside her. Now that she was outside Yang Valley, she could only rely on Xiao Chen and Li Youzi for everything. There were countless experts gathered here, so she was afraid that she would not be able to help.

Xiao Chen looked at Li Youzi to see what his plans were. Li Youzi pondered for a moment, then looked in the direction where the hunchbacked old man had disappeared. Finally, he nodded.

The three of them went to find a high ground and found a cave. They planned to wait for the night and wait until the fog dissipated tomorrow morning to see what was going on in front of them.

This time, countless people had arrived from Mount Qiongsang, and many people had successfully found Yang Valley. Apart from the strange hunchbacked old man he met this evening, Xiao Chen had also sensed several other powerful auras nearby. They were all experts at the Profound Comprehension Realm.

Around midnight, the fog outside suddenly began to dissipate, vaguely revealing the crescent moon in the sky. At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have sensed something. As he walked to the entrance of the cave, he suddenly heard a deep roar from a distant beast. Although the voice was deep, it caused the entire area to tremble, giving off an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

“What …”

Luo Die was slightly shocked and quickly walked out. Following Xiao Chen’s gaze, the roar of the beast seemed to come from the east, that is, from Yang Valley.

After a long time, the beast’s roar gradually disappeared, and the surroundings fell into silence. Everyone nearby held their breath and looked in the direction where the beast’s roar came from. However, no one dared to lean over there, no matter how high their cultivation base was or how powerful their bodies were, no matter how powerful their magic treasures were.

“Fortunately, we didn’t go over this evening.”

Looking in the direction where the beast’s roar came from, Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. Now he finally understood why so many days had passed, but no one had ever entered Yang Valley. It seemed that what the hunchback old man said this evening was correct. No matter how high a person’s cultivation level was, they would only die if they went there.

“Sigh …”

At this moment, an old sigh suddenly came from the darkness.

“Who is it!” Luo Die immediately became vigilant. Suddenly, slow footsteps sounded in the darkness. Immediately after, a hunchbacked figure appeared under the faint moonlight. It was actually the strange hunchback old man in the evening.

The wrinkles on the old man’s face were like layers of weathered rocks outside the cave. It was originally terrifying during the day, but at night, it was even more terrifying. When Luo Die saw him, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath and subconsciously leaned against Xiao Chen.

“Young lady, there’s no need to be afraid. I won’t hurt you …”

The hunchbacked old man slowly walked over with a hoarse voice. Luo Die didn’t know why, but she always felt that this person had crawled out of the coffin. It was very scary.

Xiao Chen looked at him and cupped his hands. “Senior, we meet again.”

“Where in life do we not meet …”

The hunchbacked old man slowly walked up and glanced into the cave. He said in a hoarse voice, “I haven’t consulted you yet. How should I address this fellow Daoist in the cave?”

Li Youzi slowly walked out of the cave and looked at him. “Li Youzi.”

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Li You …”

The hunchbacked old man nodded slightly and said hoarsely, “This old man’s surname is Luo, and his name is Qing He.”

Hearing this name, Li Youzi was slightly shocked. No wonder this person had brought him an inexplicable pressure from the very beginning. It turned out to be the Second Manor Master of the Luo Clan Manor, Luo Qinghe. It was only rumored that this person failed to break through to the Profound Realm three years ago and died in the end. Why was he still alive and well? Could it be that there was really a resurrection technique in this world?

“So it’s Senior Luo. I’ve heard so much about him.”

Li Youzi cupped his hands. This time, Senior was only two hundred years older than him. He said that Senior deserved it. However, at this moment, he was a little uneasy. Could it be that this person was also here for the Fusang Flower?

Even if this person hasn’t reached the Lower Profound Realm yet, he has probably already stepped into the Lower Profound Realm with one foot. In case he comes to compete for the Fusang Flower, I’m afraid things will be a little difficult.

At this moment, Xiao Chen looked much calmer. He thought to himself that Luo Qinghe had been here for quite some time, but he had not been able to enter Yang Valley for a long time. It must have something to do with the beast’s roar just now. If he appeared in front of him twice in a row, then this person would definitely have something to ask for.

He took a step forward and asked, “Junior just heard the roar of a beast from the east. May I ask Senior if you know anything about it?”

“Mm …”

Luo Qinghe narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and nodded, “That beast is extraordinary. Its name is’ Xuan ‘. It was born from the essence of the sun here, and its cultivation is hard to estimate. It is afraid that anyone who tries to set foot in Yang Valley will be eaten by it for more than a thousand years. Presumably, someone attempted to sneak in and was swallowed by it.”

Luo Die was stunned for a moment, “It means that no one can pass … and no one can enter Yang Valley?”

“Mm …”

Luo Qinghe stroked his sparse beard and said, “It was yesterday, but from now on, it probably … isn’t.”
