71 Chapter 71 Trip to Blood Valley (2/2)
A woman changing a lot after she grew was not a false statement. That little brat that loved to follow Zong Shou around was now a beauty no less than Chuxue. Her eyes also held a heroic spirit.
Looking back at her jade white body and that skin untainted by wind and dirt, one could see that she had already trained to the surface skin. She had probably crossed the internal cultivation stage and entered the Xiantian Realm.
However, her expression wasn't arrogant. Although she was cold towards the soldiers asking questions at the city gate, she was really polite. Although she had a noble identity, she didn't look down on others.
This was his fiancée? The Xuan Mountain Princess?
Zong Shou recalled the words Yin Yang said to him, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. It seems like she most likely came over to find him to end the marriage. This Cloud Saint City was certainly so chaotic, all sorts of people gathered in an area.
He only felt a heavy pressure pressing down on his shoulders. As time went on, and the time that Zong Weiran disappeared into the Oblivion Cloud Ocean grew longer and longer, be it Gantian Mountain or his allies, they would get more and more unrestrained.
The next time they struck, it would not be like the previous two times, which were just probing attacks. Gantian Mountain didn't have a lack of Xiantian Martial Masters, and as for Martial Ancestor-level experts, Donglin Cloud Continent had thousands of them.
He had totally no interest at all in his fiancée. He also had no mood to turn back into the city to meet her. He didn't care, pulling Chuxue to travel north.
------
They spent two days walking over two hundred miles before taking off the annoying disguises.
Afterwards, they directly cut through a nearby valley and swiftly crossed the mountains.
This place could be considered within the Sudian Mountain Range, but it was just an eastern branch. Lingyun Sect's influence here was really small. The place Zong Shou wanted to go to was a place all martial cultivators in Donglin Cloud Continent were afraid of.
Within three thousand miles, this was the only place that Lingyun Sect couldn't influence.
------
Walking another half a day within the mountain, the area in front of Zong Shou and Chuxue grew a lot wider.
In front of them was a giant valley. Around them, although they were surrounded by mountains, it was really vast and they were unable to see the end of it. Looking out, one could see beasts grouped up and roaming around.
However it was different from other places. Even the more gentle beasts had eyes shining with a red glow, revealing strong bloodthirst and craziness.
Chuxue's face was even more bitter. ”Young Master are we really entering this Blood Valley? I heard that the elite beasts here are at least Grade Two. Compared to the swamp wolves in Black Soil Swamp, they are even harder to deal with. That Demon Corpse Mountain is even more dangerous. I heard that Xiantian martial cultivators and above can't even enter. As for those below Xiantian, even if you can enter you might not come out whole…”
Zong Shou didn't care, taking out a bottle of medicine to wipe on his body,smiling, ”How is it that bad? Xue'er, since you know that this is Blood Valley, then do you know how it came about?”
Chuxue didn't understand, saying patiently, ”I know a little. Legend has it that a different race's demon god was killed here. His intent didn't disappear, which was why any living being who came over would slowly lose their mind and become explosive! Be it humans or beasts, there is no exception, which was why this is known as Blood Valley. I also heard that many elite beasts are able to upgrade and evolve or mutate here, which was why every few years there would be a beast wave that rushes here. When that happens is the most dangerous period for this Blood Valley.”
”You are right. However, there is another reason why the beasts here are like that. It has nothing to do with that demon god's will!”
Zong Shou gave a light scoff, and then took out another bottle and handed it to the startled Chuxue. ”Wipe this on yourself. At least in front of Grade Five beasts, we will be fine. Although it is so small, it is worth a lot of money…”
Chuxue didn't believe him. She personally witness Zong Shou use herbs worth less than thirty silver to make this, so how could it be worth any money?
As for the so-called effects that he claimed, all the more she didn't believe it. However, thinking back to how much miracles her Young Master has caused, she wiped the medicine on her body and followed Zong Shou into the Blood Valley.
What was weird was that the scent of the medicine wasn't thick, and it was even slightly fragrant.
Those fierce beasts who roamed the Blood Valley seemed to be unable to see the two of them. Even if they occasionally got close, after sniffing that scent they would hurriedly avoid them!
