Under Song Ze's lead, the crowd soon arrived in front of one of the valleys.
"This is it. You guys are the only ones who can explore the valley," Song Ze said to everyone as he stood on a rock.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Song. We'll definitely get the Nine-Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma."
Most of them patted their chests and said.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from behind a large rock. Everyone was shocked, thinking that a ferocious beast was attacking. Everyone was ready to fight.
However, they soon heaved a sigh of relief because five or six people walked out from behind the large rock.
The person in the lead was an extremely handsome young man. He waved a folding fan and smiled at Song Ze as he walked. "Uncle Song Ze, I trust you have been well since we last met."
"So it's nephew Shaoqing. I thought you wouldn't be participating in this martial arts competition," Song Ze said with a smile.
"Uncle Song Ze, I'm really sorry. I was held up by some matters today, so I couldn't attend the meet. In order to make up for it, I came here early to wait for you outside the valley," the young man named Shaoqing said apologetically.
"Hahaha, I'm happy that Shaoqing is here." Song Ze laughed and gestured for his subordinates to throw a few tokens to the young man and the others.
Looking at this scene, everyone's expression changed.
The young man named Shaoqing was no ordinary person. He was the genius Guo Shaoqing of the Supreme Sect, one of the top 10 sects of the Southern Region.
It was also because of his identity that Song Ze wouldn't be angry even if he didn't attend the meet.
At this moment, Song Ze suddenly smiled and looked at the two sides in front of him. "It's not just Guo Shaoqing. Come to this valley first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion came from the small forest on both sides. Four or five people came out from one side.
On the other side, there was only one person.
These people quickly arrived in front of Song Ze.
The leader of the group of four or five people was a rather tall and arrogant young man.
Although he seemed to be extremely arrogant, he still cupped his hands respectfully when he arrived before Song Ze. "Uncle Song Ze, I only found out about the joust for a spouse yesterday, and then I rushed here. I'm really sorry that I couldn't attend this morning's meeting."
"Nephew Yuan Ming, your Uncle Song Ze knows." Song Ze nodded and smiled.
After saying that, Song Ze looked at the other person.
This person was in his early twenties. He was tall and looked extremely aloof. His face was expressionless, and when he saw Song Ze looking over, he nodded and said, "Uncle Song Ze."
"Mhm." Song Ze didn't mind and nodded with a smile.
After saying that, he signaled his subordinates to give their waist tokens to these people.
At this time, the expressions of everyone present turned even uglier, especially Mo Kui and the others who were originally very confident. Their expressions were now so gloomy that it could drip water.
The reason for this was that the two youths who came later were as outstanding as Guo Shaoqing.
Being outstanding was not a big deal. The most important thing was that the strength of these three youths was basically above all of them.
Although the Southern Region did not have an accurate ranking of these geniuses, in the hearts of the Southern Region citizens, if they were to rank the top ten geniuses of the Southern Region, Guo Shaoqing and the other two would definitely be among them.
As for Mo Kui and the others, they might not be so confident.
Naturally, Lin Long didn't recognize these three people. However, he still learned some information about them through the discussions of the people around him.
The full name of the youth called Yuan Ming was Qi Yuanming. He was a genius from a large family in the Southern Region, the Qi family was also one of the top ten families in the Southern Region.
As for the extremely aloof youth, he was called Zhou Peng. He was a genius disciple of the Dan Yang Sect, one of the top ten sects in the Southern Region.
There seemed to be two people from the Dan Yang Sect among the crowd, but Zhou Peng was obviously so aloof that he didn't want to greet them.
Song Ze saw the ugly expressions on everyone's faces, so he said, "Although the three of them are stronger and have a higher chance of obtaining the Nine-Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma than the rest of you, don't be discouraged. After all, obtaining the Nine-Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma has nothing to do with strength."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Alright, I've said what I need to say. All of you can go in."
After that, the group of people walked into the valley one after another. This valley was one of the four valleys, Red Stone Valley.
As soon as they entered, everyone saw that the stones in the valley were basically red. Although there was an occasional stone of other colors, it was really very rare.
After entering, everyone immediately spread out. Everyone basically avoided Guo Shaoqing and the other two. After all, they didn't want to provoke them.
If they were unhappy and attacked them, how would they have the chance to find the Nine-Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma?
As for the weaker ones, they also avoided the stronger ones. The reason was the same.
It could be said that in the Sky Peak Mountain Range, humans were sometimes even more terrifying than ferocious beasts.
After entering the valley, Linlong walked in a random direction.
Not long after Linlong left, a group of six people followed him from afar.
The group of six seemed to be casual, but in fact, it was intentional. This was because one of them was Leng Jian, who wanted to recruit Linlong into their group.
Leng Jian was narrow-minded. When he saw that Linlong's strength was mediocre and dared to reject him, he immediately harbored hatred in his heart. Now that he saw Linlong walking alone, he naturally wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Brother Leng, we've just entered the valley and we're already doing this, right?" A slightly plump young man beside Leng Jian said uneasily.
By doing this, he meant that Leng Jian wanted them to follow him and wait for an opportunity to snatch Linlong's things.
Three of the six people were recruited at the last minute, so in order to prevent them from getting cold feet, Leng Jian pretended to say that he saw a few treasures on Linlong.
After hearing Leng Jian's words and seeing that Linlong was really walking alone, the rest of the six people also had evil intentions.
Only this little fatty looked honest and didn't seem to have done anything bad, so he kept cowering.
"Fatty, you're too honest. Do you think there won't be any conflicts after entering these valleys? Let me tell you, there's only a single Nine-Aperture Azurehell Ganoderma. For the sake of preventing others from seizing that spirit herb first, there'll surely be bloodshed after we enter this gorge. Instead of waiting for others to come look for trouble with us, why don't we make a move first and satisfy our craving? "
"Honestly speaking, it's very difficult for us to snatch that Nine-Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma with our strength. So, Brother Leng's suggestion is far-sighted. We might as well take advantage of this opportunity to look for those who travel alone and are weak to reap some benefits. At that time, even if we don't have the luck to obtain that Nine-Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma, we wouldn't have made this trip in vain."
As soon as the little fatty finished speaking, the people beside him chimed in.
In this short period of time, everyone except Little Fatty had actually reached a consensus.
Little fatty didn't have his own opinions, so he could only nod his head when he heard what they said.
To tell the truth, he didn't want to come at first, but what could he do? His family forced him to come, hoping that he would be lucky enough to obtain the Nine-Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma and become the son-in-law of the Song Family. Then, his family would rise to the heavens together with him.
Although the probability of this happening was very, very low, there was still a slight possibility. Therefore, his family directly forced him to come.
Seeing this situation, Leng Jian, who was at the side, revealed a pleased smile.
'You brat, just you wait. I, your brother, will let you have a taste of regret later!' He thought gleefully in his heart.
