Vol 4 Chapter 9 (1/2)
Ancient Temple
In the southern border badlands, at the extreend said that it was inhospitable, abounded with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts And thedifference with the Central Plains was in the extrees, one after another, like erupting abruptly out of the ground, towering into the clouds, cutting off the south from the north
Since ancient times, because of the fertile Central Plains, very few people ventured into the southern border, there was no other reasons, first the road was precipitous, second too many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, miasma and unclean water and the most of the land was barren, unable to be cultivated Later on without knowing since when, a rureat mountains of the southern border, there were different kinds of barbaric tribes which devoured rawthem there were even horrible cannibals, as such even lesser people dared to venture in Instead the world shook in dread, worried day and night that one day those barbaric tribes would suddenly ran out froering the world
But for the past thousand years, there were no ruh occasionally at the southern border frontier, fros of queer creatures that looked like the tribes but ot about it In the current tie of the southern border, probably only the mothers would say, ‘If you don’t listen, those monsters from the wild tribes will co the children to bed, in normal days, nobody had seriously considered if those tribes really existed in the deepthousands of miles away in the Central Plains
Speaking of which, that ten thousands great mountains shrouded within the layers of otten by the people
But even though the cootten about those tribes but soardless whether it was Good or Evil Faction, as long as those ere slightly more senior would know for the past thousand years, the reason why the south’s tribes were unable to scourge the world was because of the Good Faction huge sect, ‘FenXiang Valley’
The majestic ten thousands lofty mountains, isolated the communications between north and south The Central Plains folks were unable to travel down south and those wild tribes were unable to travel up north but a thousand years before, an unireat calamity descended from Heaven, innumerable number of common people within a radius of thousand miles died After the calamity, soes, thefrom the sky actually cleaved off so a three chi wide, black and gloomy small path
And it was froreat e wild tribes and from time to time, invaded and harassed the co at the border wasValley
A Valley had the in, the earliest record was at one thousand and five hundred years ago whichthe world If to co Yun Sect and the Evil Sect’s histories were longer than FenXiang Valley, even TianYin Temple was shorter
But even though it was so, this sect had always been the the hly skilled cultivated Taoist priests would ee from time to tireat Until eight hundred years ago, at the fringe of the southern border near that dark tunnel, this sect found a mountain valley and settled down and since then known as the ‘FenXiang Valley’ And in the eight hundred years, unbelievable highly skilled e nu by the day and until today, it was already standing equal with Qing Yun Sect, TianYin Tereat sects of the world’s Good Faction
And fittingly, the current valleyYun Sect Reverend DaoXuan, Tian Yin Te, were the Good Faction’s main pillars Just that this person had always been low-keyed and his reputation were inferior to the other two
Because of the location, FenXiang Valley al that dim, dark small path, known locally as the ‘Black Hole’ Since then, there were nothe co Valley had an extree and revered by the people like immortals
All of these infor Sect and in these ten years, Ghost Li had read it and noly recalled it in his head It was already the third day he had travelled south since the day he had approached Zhou YiXian to inquire about the hued to reach the area near the ten thousands great mountains
The night was already late, this night, the htly thick, a few stars ht, shone onto the world, illu at
Ghost Li stood on the hill, gazed towards the south, frowning slightly Xiao Hui thea wild fruit plucked fro deliciously at it
On his journey here, for the first two days he was still able to find the signs left behind by Kill-the-living Monk but today, Kill-the-living Monk seees that he had left in the previous days, the Kill-the-living Monk as skilled in the art of pursuing had already confirmed that thosesouth, their goals obviously trying to return to their southern border lair
Unless, Kill-the-living Monk already had a confrontation with those mysterious human fish people?
Ghost Li sighed softly, a trace of worry flashed through his eyes The barbaric tribes were obviously very ures and this had beensect rehtene witchcrafts, inconceivable
Kill-the-living Monk was young and had a fiery character but was an outstanding figure a sect and usually followed around Ghost Li, a capable man
Now that he had ht now he gazed ahead, in the heavy black night, shadows see in the southern area, like soestures, iant e ofValley
The southern border had always been FenXiang Valley territory, an Evil Sect disciple venturing in alone, needless to say, it was dangerous
While Ghost Li was pondering, suddenly he had a sense and raised his head to look, only a h the faint dark clouds, suddenly it felt somehow unnatural
A dark red light suddenly appeared in the night sky, under the clearthe mountains in the south
Ghost Li stared at that strange red light, both of his brows slowly knitted, after a moment he made up his ht below his feet lighted up, the Soul-Absorbing Stick glea him and Xiao Hui, slowly rose and abruptly increased in speed, pursuing in that red light direction

Since when, the dark clouds in the night sky gradually increased in nuradually darkened and a gloomy unnatural atmosphere that seemed to exist only in southern border, turned thicker and thicker in this night
That ht flew for a while and landed between the mountains which were about tenThere were etations abounded on the mountains, just that in the forest on this nameless small ht landed before that temple, wavered and a bony old person walked out
He glanced around the surroundings and after checking to see that there was no one around, he walked into the ancient temple
Wild mountainous terrain, dilapidated ancient teht, naturally there was so secretive After a moment, in the shadows of the forest outside the ancient teed He studied the nameless ancient temple for a ain The clouds had turned darker, gradually obscuring the moon
His figure flashed and he silently moved towards the ancient temple
This ancient te ti fences and dilapidated walls inside the temple, even the main hall from the outside also looked extreht breeze blew over, the broken s [zhi ya] swayed, the quiet noise see of uncanniness
[Translator's note: cru fences and dilapidated walls - an idiom]
[Bo!]
A light sound, seehted up in the great hall, just that this light was dihtly further areas from it were still shrouded in darkness
”Ji ji, ji ji ji, ji, ji ji ji ji ji…” suddenly a weird noise rang out in the great hall, the noise was like the crying of the ghost in the night but also see in the night,it, extremely unbearable
Ghost Li hid within the shadows and looked towards the great hall
Under the direat hall, other than that elderly man seen earlier, there were two other e build and the other htly with a cloak from head to toe, even the top of his head was not revealed and that weird noise actually came out from the bottom of this person’s cloak
The noise reverberated in the dihost awakening
Ghost Li watched coldly, this was also the first tie, naturally he did not knoas being said but looking at the other two men’s expressions, he knew there would be outcome As expected, after thatfor a while, theintently, turned and spoke to that elderly, ”Tribe leader said that this ti and instead lost men and also exposed their tracks, are all because of your inaccurate news The God of Beast Great King after hearing these has already flew into a rage…”
When that ed man mentioned the word, ‘God of Beast’, his voice suddenly dropped and that tall figure cladded under the cloak also shi+vered
That elderly frowned and said, ”Our original agree the location of the ‘Celestial E to e know, that rare stone is indeed at the Celestial E blamed for incorrect information?”
He glanced at thatin the cloak, a sneer suddenly brushed past his lips and he said, ”I’m afraid it’s more likely due to your inability?”
Once the words were out, that ure wrapped in the cloak immediately responded with a series of sounds, ”Ji ji, ji ji ji ji, ji ji ji” The sounds ca at the side could not understand the ent sounds, it was obvious that the ed
After that mysterious ed ed When he finally waited until that ed man hesitated for a h they have never been to the death marsh but they also know that it has always been secluded but this tireat number of Central Plains cultivated martial experts suddenly appeared there, naturally, naturally it is your information which is inaccurate”
That elderly seeed man had finished, that mysterious ed man translated, it was only this sentence, most likely the ar words in-between and the ed man did not wish to translate that
That elderly pondered for a while, looked as if he did not wish to offend the mysterious man and said, ”The appearance of the Celestial Ens, shocking the world, most likely those Central Plains cultivated martial experts also heard about it and swiftly went over, this is not so that we can control”
