The snake-faced demon cultivator looked around and spoke cunningly: "Let’s stay here, ride out the storm, then find Third, and return to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons after this blows over together."
"Yes, Big Brother."
...
On the surface, it seemed calm between Taixu Gate and Chongxu Sect, but secretly, each had gathered several elders and Inner Sect disciples for a secret rendezvous within Refining Demon Mountain.
They were subsequently led by Xun Ziyou in a covert operation to the secret forest outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
They saw the scarlet blood creek, the scattered white bones, and in the distance, the dimly visible, mysterious Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, all drawing a sharp intake of breath.
"This is... such dense Monster Qi!"
"There are places like this within Rafining Demon Mountain?!"
"In broad daylight at the Qianxue State Boundary... so many evil monsters hiding here, it’s really outrageous!"
Even the Chongxu Sect Elder, who knew beforehand, was shocked.
He had only heard about it from Xun Ziyou but hadn’t seen it himself, and seeing it now was even more impactful than expected.
It was like...
A seemingly spotless room, and under the floorboards, there was a colony of cockroaches nesting unknowingly...
Xun Ziyou glanced at the Chongxu Sect Elder and asked:
"Shangguan, how are your injuries?"
The Chongxu Sect Elder, named Xuan Jian and surnamed Shangguan, was a disciple of the Shangguan Family.
Although part of the direct lineage, he was somewhat distant from the head of the Shangguan Family and did not interact much on a daily basis.
Shangguan Xuan Jian said, "The Ancestor gave me Pills, I feel much better after taking them, a bit of recovery will do, let’s not dwell on this... what do we do now?"
"We wait and see what happens." Xun Ziyou replied.
Shangguan Xuan Jian frowned, "Your Taixu Gate... did that Junior Formation master get in?"
"Yes." Xun Ziyou nodded.
"Will he be safe?" Shangguan Xuan Jian was somewhat worried.
Xun Ziyou couldn’t say for sure.
Although Mo Hua was smart and resourceful, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was dense with demon cultivators, and any slip-up might mean he would be "devoured" without a trace.
But now, rescuing them still relied on this child.
Xun Ziyou said, "I sent a message to Elder Xun, but the Yuan Magnetic Flow within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is weak, he hasn’t responded, probably need to wait a bit."
If there’s still no response after a while, they might have to attack forcefully.
Even...
Xun Ziyou touched the "Void Sword Order" in the storage bag, which was for Heaven Void guidance and could shatter space, his gaze icy as he looked towards the distant Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
...
Within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Mo Hua shook the Taixu Token in his hand, muttering to himself, "Why is the signal in this Valley so bad?"
"Could it be interference from the Yuan Magnetics?"
He was currently lying on the ceiling of a stone chamber.
The stone chamber was very high, it was a prison, Ling Huxiao and Little Wood were imprisoned inside.
Oh right, and Song Jian...
Mo Hua didn’t dare to act recklessly, so he used the Taixu Token to contact Elder Xun, but the Yuan Magnetics were too weak, causing the message to be fragmented and unable to be sent out.
Mo Hua changed positions, angles, and directions, holding a Taixu Token in his hand, fussing for a long time before the "signal" was slightly better.
