Ling Xiao could tell that these beasts were originally just ordinary animals, but after being swallowed by the power of the plague, they had undergone some kind of mutation.
However, at a glance, the strongest plague beast was only a First Grade Vicious Beast, equivalent to a First Heaven Transcendent Realm cultivator.
The rest were all plague Monster Beasts, equivalent to Martial Vein Realm cultivators, which was not a problem for Ling Xiao.
However, what was strange was that it was said that there were nearly a thousand people living in this mountain valley, yet there was not a single person in sight.
Could these beasts have been swallowed by the plague and then mutated?
Then where was this person?
Ling Xiao had a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there used to be a Valley Master of Plague Valley whose strength had reached the late-stage Transcendent Realm Third Layer. He was originally a disciple of the Yuehua Sect, but unfortunately, after the incident in the valley, there was no news of this Valley Master."
The garrison leader warned Ling Xiao and the other three, "Young Heroes, you must be careful, we suspect that there is a Third Layer Transcendent Realm master in Plague Valley!"
Although it was the garrison that issued the mission and provided the rewards, they were not the only ones.
However, they didn't know much about the changes in Pestilence Valley.
Ling Xiao did not intend to waste any time here.
On his Mountain and River Diagram, a three-dimensional map of the entire mountain valley had appeared clearly, including every gully and nook that could be easily overlooked.
He only needed to look at it once to gain a better understanding of this place than the people who were born and raised here.
As such, although the mountain valley was covered in fog, it was basically impossible for him to lose his sense of direction.
"Ling Xiao, why don't you go in and investigate the situation?"
Jian Lingxiao just stood there and stared into the Valley of Plagues. Chen Zui asked.
"Senior Brother Shangguan, Junior Brother's cultivation is too low, if I enter this plague, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my life. This mission should be carried out by three Senior Brothers."
Ling Xiao smiled and said.
According to his judgment, the plague in Plague Valley should not be a problem as long as one was a Transcendent Realm master.
Of course, this was limited to most plagues, but there was a manor in Plague Valley where the plagues were blood-red in colour. If one wanted to enter that manor, their cultivation had to be at least at the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Transcendent Realm, or they didn't have a special auxiliary martial art like Ling Xiao's Nine Demons Divine Art – Plague Demon King.
After entering the manor, one would inevitably be eroded by the plague.
Whether they would die or not, they would definitely suffer.
"If I tell you to go in, go!"
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Wanyan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shangguan Lei blocked his way, leaving only one path to Plague Valley.
"What do you want to do?"
Ling Xiao pretended to be scared and asked.
"What do you want to do? Hmph, you'll know once you enter. If you want to live, then obediently do as we say. Otherwise, we'll send you to hell right now! "
Chen Of course, Chen of Chen of course
"Please Please! Please don't kill me! I'll just go in! "
Ling Xiao hurriedly retreated into Plague Valley.
Outside, there was a Northern Han garrison, so it would be inconvenient to act.
However, after entering the Valley of Plagues, the situation was different. There were no living people in the valley. Even if he killed the three of them, no one would know.
Wanyan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shangguan Lei looked at each other and smiled.
[This Ling Xiao is just someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. I heard that this guy is quite overbearing, even defeating the Swordsman King. But today, after seeing three Third Layer Transcendent Realm Inner Disciples, he's scared silly.]
After entering Plague Valley, Ling Xiao went straight to the manor where the blood-red plague was.
He had already checked the other places just now and made sure that there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Only this manor, because of the blood-red plague, could not be seen through.
This was enough to prove that this was the place where the plague originated. Moreover, the so-called plague beast was probably here.
In addition, the thousands of people in the valley were probably here as well.
Since Yang Kai wanted to complete the mission, he had to come here.
In order to take care of Wanyan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shangguan Lei, Ling Xiao did not move quickly.
He was not in a hurry to act; after all, these three people were all Third Layer Transcendent Realm cultivators. If they encountered any danger, these three people would have great combat strength.
This Sect mission itself was strange. Even a peak Third Layer Transcendent Realm Yuehua School disciple was trapped here, so things were probably not as simple as they seemed.
"Three Senior Brothers, this manor is a bit strange, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Right now, Ling Xiao was completely acting like he was being coerced.
He believed that these three people would not act against him for the time being. The reason was the same, he wanted to use these three people, but how could these three not want to use him?
"You go in first!"
Wanyan Jun ordered coldly.
"But Senior Brother Wanyan, the atmosphere inside doesn't seem right, will I die if I go in?"
Ling Xiao asked timidly.
"Cut the crap and get in!"
Shangguan Lei took a big stride forward and raised his leg to kick Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao borrowed the force of this kick to enter the manor. On the surface, it looked like he was kicked in.
"Hahaha, this little brat is really useless!"
Shangguan Lei laughed loudly.
"Don't be so happy yet, I heard from Senior Brother Hei Suo that this little brat is full of tricks, we still have to be careful."
Wanyan Jun calmly said.
"Senior Brother Wanyan, you're being too careful, no matter how strong this little brat is, he's at most a peak Second Layer Transcendent Realm cultivator. With the three of us working together, can't we kill him?"
Chen Zui said disdainfully.
"Even so, we still have to be careful. From now on, this little brat's every move must be under our surveillance."
Wanyan Jun said seriously.
"But he's already gone in, do we have to go in too?"
Chen Zui asked.
"Wait a minute!"
Wanyan Jun thought for a moment and said, "This manor is only so big, he won't be able to escape. If he can come out alive, it means there's nothing wrong with the manor."
"Three Senior Brothers, come in, there's nothing wrong here, but there's someone who hasn't died yet!"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao's voice came from inside.
"Let's go!"
Wanyan Jun and the other two entered the manor together. After passing through the courtyard, they arrived at the inner hall and saw Ling Xiao standing there with a half-dead old man lying next to him.
"Senior Brother Zhan!"
Wanyan Jun recognized the half-dead old man at a glance. He turned out to be the Valley Master of this mountain valley and a disciple of Yuehua School.
When Wanyan Jun was still an Outer Disciple, Senior Brother Zhan was already a Transcendent Realm Inner Disciple. Unfortunately, his potential was limited and he was only a Third Layer Transcendent Realm cultivator when he was over a hundred years old, so he returned to the mountain valley and became its Valley Master.
He probably hoped to spend the rest of his life like this.
