"That's Old Master Hu Yuan. I recognize the ring on his finger!"
"How pitiful. The Hu Clan has been operating in our Tongtai Town for many years. Today, their entire family was annihilated. I wonder who was so crazy to do such a thing!"
The neighbors nearby shook their heads and sighed. They were a little afraid that such a disaster would befall them one day.
"Everyone, this was done by Zhantai Qingyin, the witch of the Heavenly Sound Sect. But don't worry, the Six Doors of Constables will never let such an evil person go!"
The baihu said loudly. After that, he left a few of his men to cooperate with the constables in Tongtai Town to clean up the mess. He led the rest of his trusted men to follow the trail left by Zhantai Qingyin.
Ning Qi grabbed Hu Yuan, the old fox, and sprinted in the direction of the Thousand Demon Mountain Range at an extremely fast speed.
The Thousand Demon Mountain Range stretched on for who knows how many miles. Entering it was like entering another world.
"Uncle Hu, I don't have a good temper. If you try to trick me, I might accidentally kill you on the spot."
Ning Qi laughed as he ran.
Ever since he entered the Thousand Demon Mountain Range, he had been running for a whole night. He did not know how many miles he had walked, but he still had not reached the place that Hu Yuan mentioned.
"No, no, I wouldn't dare. In another few hundred miles, we'll reach the ruins I mentioned. But it's very foggy there. We can't go there at any time. It has to be at noon when the sun is the strongest."
Hu Yuan quickly said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time."
Ning Qi pursed his lips and smiled. His speed increased again, turning into a beam of light as he headed in the direction of the target.
Ten minutes later, Ning Qi crossed a few hundred miles and arrived at the place that Hu Yuan mentioned.
In front of them was a mountain valley. It was covered in a thick fog, making it hard to see clearly. When Hu Yuan saw the mountain valley, he immediately said in a low voice, "I obtained the Transformation Fruit from there. It's noon now, we should be able to enter."
"Then let's wait."
Ning Qi smiled.
Time passed unknowingly. It was noon.
"Mr. Ye, time is almost up. Let's go in quickly."
Hu Yuan reminded him in a low voice.
Ning Qi nodded. When they were about to enter the fog, he chuckled. "Uncle Hu, help me explore the way first."
"What?
What are you going to do? "
Hu Yuan's eyes were filled with terror. When Ning Qi threw him into the valley, Hu Yuan let out a desperate and resentful howl, "You evil brat, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
The old fox's body entered the dense fog. He wanted to escape like a madman, but after a few breaths of time, the surrounding fog was like man-eating ants, crazily surging towards his body. Immediately after, the old fox's body instantly turned into white bones in front of Ning Qi. Not even the white bones were able to remain intact, turning into a pile of ashes that scattered on the ground.
As expected, along the way, Hu Yuan kept hinting to Ning Qi that he could only enter the valley at noon. He was purposely trying to set him up! At noon, the power of the fog was probably at its strongest during the day.
"This fog can corrode flesh. It seems this place is not as simple as it looks. It is possible that it was left behind by a certain cultivator."
At this moment, he sensed a group of people approaching, and the bronze-armored corpse beside him immediately concealed itself.
"Elder Chen, we found it. This is the place! Look at the dense fog. It is most likely an array left behind by an ancient cultivator! "
A young man around 18 or 19 years old said excitedly.
Beside him, there were a few young men and women of similar age. Their cultivation levels were all at the seventh or eighth layer of Qi training. The Elder Chen they were talking about was an old man around 60 or 70 years old. His aura was unfathomable. Early-stage of Foundation Establishment! "There's a kid here!"
"Strange, why would a kid dare to stay in the Thousand Demon Mountain Range? Isn't he afraid of being eaten by beasts?"
Elder Chen glanced at Ning Qi. His cultivation level was much weaker than Ning Qi's, so in his eyes, Ning Qi was just an ordinary kid.
"Lin Yan, you have made a great contribution to the academy by discovering this place. If we can get anything good from here, you will naturally have a share."
Elder Chen's gaze landed on the valley and he smiled.
Lin Yan nodded excitedly. After he discovered this place, he did not investigate it on his own. Instead, he immediately sent the news back to Blackjade Academy. The other young men and women heard this and could not help but show a trace of envy on their faces.
"Elder Chen, I will go in and investigate."
Lin Yan's face revealed a confident smile. With Elder Chen, a powerhouse in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, as his backing, he already had the courage to enter this valley.
After saying this, he was about to walk into the valley. Seeing this, Ning Qi said lightly, "Going in is courting death."
Lin Yan's footsteps paused slightly. He turned to look at Ning Qi and frowned, "Little guy, what did you say?"
Elder Chen waved his hand, gesturing for Lin Yan to step aside. He looked at Ning Qi and smiled, "Little kid, you said there is danger in this valley?"
"That's right. The fog here can devour human flesh and blood. Anyone who enters will die a violent death."
Ning Qi nodded slightly.
Devour human flesh and blood?
Lin Yan felt a little scared. However, the crowd did not really believe Ning Qi's words. It was also possible that Ning Qi was deliberately trying to intimidate them! Chen Xiantai pondered for a few breaths before his face once again revealed a smile, "Little kid, what's your name? Where do you live? As far as I know, the nearest town is thousands of miles away. How did you get here?"
"I was walking for a while and ended up here."
Ning Qi smiled.
"So he got lost, but this guy is really lucky to be able to stay in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range for so long without being devoured by demonic beasts."
Lin Yan and the others secretly said.
Chen Xiantai did not believe Ning Qi's words. Judging from Ning Qi's clothes, he did not look like a lost child at all. He suspected that Ning Qi might have been brought here by someone else, and the person who brought him here was most likely dead in the thick fog.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiantai smiled and said, "Little kid, you said that the thick fog here can devour human flesh and blood, but I don't believe it. Can you prove it to me?"
"How do I prove it?"
Ning Qi raised his eyebrows.
"You can prove it when you go in. Don't worry, if there is really danger, I will bring you out immediately."
Chen Xiantai said.
Ning Qi's expression was strange. This group of guys obviously had an extraordinary background, but he did not expect them to want an ordinary child to explore the way for them, to prove that there was danger in the thick fog. They simply did not put human life in their eyes.
Moreover, it was after Ning Qi took the initiative to remind them. The story of the farmer and the snake was nothing more than this.
"I'm not going in. If you want to go in, you go in."
Ning Qi shook his head and refused.
"If Elder Chen wants you to go in, just go in. How dare you refuse?"
Lin Yan sneered and strode towards Ning Qi.
