Outside Ill Wind Valley.
Chen Qingyan, wearing an azure veil, held her snakeskin scabbard and stared at the valley with her clear, bright eyes.
Time passed quickly.
After Yu Yuan entered Ill Wind Valley, she could no longer sense or track his movements. The Nether Flame Poison Stream Formation and the second layer of miasma had blocked her vision and spirit sense.
She could only wait passively.
"Dark Moon City, Yu Yuan …"
She had many questions in her heart, so she didn't leave in a hurry. She wanted an answer.
Only if Yu Yuan came out alive would she know the answer.
"Hmm?"
She suddenly turned around, her eyebrows slightly raised with a puzzled expression.
She sensed that many people were rapidly approaching, as if they knew that something had happened in Ill Wind Valley.
Among them was Liu Zaihe, who had almost died from poison.
A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing a feathered crown and extremely well-dressed appeared in her line of sight.
The man rode a snow-white crane and wore a luxurious silver robe. At first glance, he looked like an immortal.
"Uncle Shi."
Chen Qingyan called out softly, her beautiful eyes filled with joy and surprise. "Why have you come in person?"
The man was Shi Yuxuan, the current sect master of the Heavenly Medicine Sect. He was a late Yin Spirit and a Heaven Grade alchemist!
"I heard that something had happened in Ill Wind Valley, so I came as soon as possible."
Shi Yuxuan's expression was serious as he threw out a pill furnace as soon as he arrived.
The pill furnace expanded in the wind, and clusters of auspicious purple clouds bloomed on its surface, releasing brilliant rays of light.
Under Chen Qingyan's gaze, the pill furnace seemed to have transformed into a furnace mountain that was hundreds of meters tall in a very short time. Supported by the auspicious purple clouds, the pill furnace burned fiercely.
The pill furnace flew in the sky above Ill Wind Valley, and below it was a thick miasma that couldn't be dispersed.
Suddenly, a rain of fire fell from the sky.
As the sect master of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, Shi Yuxuan wanted to break the Nether Flame Poison Stream Formation as soon as he arrived. He wanted to go inside and figure out the situation.
After him, many more people came in one after another.
Some of them were cultivators of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, and many of them were seniors from the various empires who were accompanying their juniors in the alchemist examination.
There were also a few strangers that Chen Qingyan didn't recognize. He guessed that they were from the Tianyuan Continent or the Tranquil Continent.
The news of the great change in the Evil Wind Valley had probably spread like wildfire. Soon, everyone would know about it.
Among the crowd, the descendant of King Wei Ling, Liu Zaihe, looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
When Chen Qingyan looked at him, Liu Zaihe's face was filled with bitterness as he sighed softly.
All the members of the Hu Clan had died, and he couldn't escape the responsibility.
Yu Yuan had warned them and tried to persuade them with good intentions. Unfortunately, because of his appearance, the Hu Clan chose to ignore his advice and insisted on going to Ill Wind Valley.
As a result, many of the Hu Clan's guest elders and clansmen had died in the Chillywind Valley. Some of those who had fled had also died as the poison had taken effect.
He, Liu Zaihe, had relied on other methods to survive.
How could he not feel guilty at all?
"Phew! Hu hu! "
In the depths of the Chillywind Valley, multicolored miasma surged like living creatures, quietly dissolving the rain of fire from the pill furnace.
Shi Yuxuan's eyes were grim as he frowned and continued to exert force.
As the miasma flowed and gathered above him, Chen Qingyan, who was gifted with extraordinary talent, was suddenly able to vaguely see some traces of what was going on in the valley.
This was because the thick miasma in the second layer of the Nether Fire Poison Stream Formation had become thinner due to the flow.
Chen Qingyan cultivated a miraculous spirit art and had an item on her, so she could see a thing or two.
She first searched for Yu Yuan in the valley. Then, she noticed a familiar yet blurry figure sitting in a cave in the deepest part of the Chillywind Valley. He swung his legs and seemed to be talking about something carelessly.
"The person talking to him seems to be …"
Chen Qingyan's eyes narrowed into a thin line. She could see fine, long, and dazzling sword light blossoming from the thin line like lightning. "Mei Qiurong of Xuantianzong! Why would that narrow-minded woman appear in the Chillywind Valley? Also, what did Yu Yuan say to her? "
She also cultivated in the Tianyuan Continent and was the most famous disciple of the Sword Sect. She had seen Mei Qiurong a few times at some grand events.
After recognizing Mei Qiurong, she was even more curious as to why Yu Yuan and Mei Qiurong would be at each other's throats in the Chillywind Valley.
… …
Inside the valley.
The miasma moved abnormally, and the colorful poisonous mist scattered around the edges of the valley suddenly flew into the sky.
A rain of fire had already fallen, but the people in the valley did not know.
What they could see was that after the miasma moved for a while, a cold and dark will suddenly locked onto Mei Qiurong.
Mei Qiurong's mind changed drastically.
"Crack!"
Streaks of white lightning seemed to streak across the smoke and clouds.
Before Mei Qiurong could react, a seven to eight meter long bone that was as translucent as white jade stabbed towards her like a sharp blade.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
At the same time, deep within the thick miasma, three wide streams of miasma, one green, one black, and one purple, stretched straight towards Mei Qiurong.
"Lend me a hand!"
Mei Qiurong looked up at the sky and suddenly shouted. She wanted the three people from the Lightning Firmament Divine Hall, as well as the cultivators who were willing to listen to her, to fight together with her.
She had never imagined that the Abomination hidden within the miasma would inexplicably change its mind.
Ignoring those with lower realms, it would take her as its first target and eliminate her first.
This did not conform to her previous understanding!
"Long Tianxiao!"
After giving the order, Mei Qiurong thought of another person. "It's changed its mind. We're all targets, so we have to work together! I know you still have some tricks up your sleeve. You should be able to tie it down for a while … "
"Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't help you." In the distance, Long Tianxiao laughed mischievously. "You're mistaken. Its main target, as well as its only target, is you! I don't sense any malice from it at the moment, so I'll wait and observe. "
"You can't live from the evils you bring upon yourself." Yu Yuan stood at the entrance of the cave and said in a sarcastic tone, "Everyone, if you want to die first, you'll have to accompany her. Otherwise, there's no harm in waiting. She's strong enough, so she should be able to eat her fill. "
"Look."
Yu Yuan pointed at the indistinct figures outside the valley. "The Heavenly Medicine Sect's people seem to have arrived. Be patient and wait a bit longer. Perhaps you'll be able to survive. "
This was a blatant attempt to drive a wedge between them.
As for those cultivators who had been trying to curry favor with Mei Qiurong not long ago, they hesitated because of his words.
If there was a chance to live, who would be willing to die?
Mei Qiurong's status was high. She came from the Xuantianzong of the Tianyuan Continent. No one dared to offend her.
But what if she died in the next moment?
While they were hesitating, the attacked Mei Qiurong had already used one of the Xuantianzong's secret arts, the Profound Heaven Divine Shadow Art. She transformed into numerous shadows that darted through the valley.
Each shadow contained the aura of Mei Qiurong's flesh, blood, and soul. It was extremely difficult to tell which one was the real her.
Even the one in the miasma and smoke couldn't figure out which one was real at the first moment when Mei Qiurong used her secret technique.
Her method was also very simple.
Other than the three rivers of smoke clouds, more than a dozen streams of poisonous fog suddenly separated from the sky, from the poisonous fog outside the valley, and from the smoke clouds, and headed towards all of the Mei Qiurong.
There was no need to tell which one was the real one. Any one of them had to be killed.
"Yu Yuan!"
Out of the many Mei Qiurong, three of them suddenly changed directions and shot towards the careless Yu Yuan at the entrance of the cave.
Long Tianxiao's expression changed. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly flew into the valley.
The first time Mei Qiurong had attacked, she had been too casual. She hadn't used her full strength.
Long Tianxiao knew that now that Mei Qiurong was prepared, she truly wanted to kill Yu Yuan. She had many methods.
He was afraid that Yu Yuan wouldn't be able to block her.
