The southern border evil lands, in the extreme south of the Divine Land, it was said that there were barren mountains and unruly rivers, rich in poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. And the most obvious boundary with the Central Plains, was in the extreme south, suddenly like a flat land rising, lofty majestic mountain ranges connected one after another, towering into the clouds, separating the North and South.
Since ancient times, the fertile Central Plains, very few people went to the southern border, for no other reason, first, the roads were steep, second, there were too many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, miasma and foul waters, and the land was barren, unable to be cultivated. Later on, not knowing when, the world started to spread that in the endless mountains of the southern border, there were all kinds of barbaric tribes, they ate raw meat and drank blood, cruel and bloodthirsty, among them there were even terrifying beastmen who ate raw human flesh, since then no one dared to go, instead the world was shaken, worried day and night that those tribes would one day, suddenly run out from those mountains, invade the Central Plains, harm the world.
However, there weren't any rumors of the Barbarian Tribe harming people in the last thousand years. Although there were occasional rumors of strange monsters appearing in the Southern Border's borderlands, most of them died without a trace, and were gradually forgotten by the people. In this day and age, even for the people living at the border of the southern border, only mothers would say something like "If you don't listen to me, those monsters from the Barbarian Tribe will come and catch you" when they were coaxing their children to sleep at night. Usually, no one would think about whether these strange races really existed deep in the mountains, much less in the Central Plains that was thousands of miles away.
Speaking of which, that ten thousand great mountains shrouded in layers of fog, had now become a place forgotten by the common people.
However, even though the commoners had forgotten about these foreign races, there were still some cultivators of the Dao of refinement who had not. No matter Good or Evil Faction, as long as the senior ones were, they would know that the reason why the southern tribes were unable to harm the world for the past thousand years, the Good Faction giant sect, "FenXiang Valley" really deserved the credit.
Ten thousand majestic towering mountains, separated the North and South, the Central Plains people were unable to go south, those barbaric tribes also found it difficult to go north. But a thousand years ago, an inconceivable lightning catastrophe descended from the sky, within a radius of a thousand miles, the common people died and were injured. After the catastrophe, someone discovered that in the lofty mountain range, the tremendous force of the Heavenly Thunder had actually split open a certain part of the mountain, revealing a pitch-black and gloomy path that was only three feet wide.
It was also from that time onwards that in the ten thousand great mountains, there were strange barbarians hidden in the world, frequently harassing the people, the common people at the borders suffered unspeakably, until FenXiang Valley appeared.
FenXiang Valley among the Good Faction sects, its origin was the most mysterious and elusive, as early as one thousand and five hundred years ago, there were already disciples of this branch roaming the world. Just based on origin, only Qing Yun Sect and Evil Faction had a longer history than FenXiang Valley, even TianYin Temple could not be compared to it.
But even so, this sect was usually very low-key. Although a few highly skilled cultivators would appear from time to time, their influence on the world's situation was not great. Until eight hundred years ago, this sect found a valley near the southern border's dark tunnel and settled down. From then on, they called themselves "FenXiang Valley" and in these eight hundred years, inconceivable masters emerged in large numbers, their power flourishing day by day. Until now, they were already on par with Qing Yun Sect and TianYin Temple, becoming one of the three big Good Faction sects.
And correspondingly, FenXiang Valley's current Valley Master Yun YiLan, was also a Good Faction giant who was on par with Qing Yun Sect Reverend DaoXuan and TianYin Temple PuHong Master. Just that this person had always been low-key and just based on reputation, he could not be compared to the two of them.
Because of the geographical location, FenXiang Valley almost instinctively took on the responsibility of guarding that dim path that was known locally as "Black Hole". From then on, there were no more rumours of the barbarian monsters harassing the common people. Therefore in the hearts of the local people, FenXiang Valley's reputation was extremely high and they revered them as immortals.
These information were all recorded in the Evil Faction Ghost King sect, Ghost Li had also seen them in these ten years and now slowly flipped through them in his mind. Right now it was already the third day after he asked Zhou YiXian about the news of the human fish tribe monsters. He had been rushing all the way and finally reached the vicinity of the ten thousand great mountains.
It was already late at night, this night the bright moon hung high in the sky, the clouds were rather thick and few stars could be seen. But the clear moonlight, spilled onto the mortal world and also lit up this mountain top where he was at.
Ghost Li stood on the hill, gazing towards the south, his brows slightly frowning. The monkey Xiao Hui was still crouching on his shoulder, in its hand was a wild fruit plucked from somewhere, munching on it with relish.
Along the way, in the first two days, he still found the markings left by his subordinate Kill-living Monk but today, Kill-living Monk had completely disappeared. But from the information he left a few days ago, Kill-living Monk who was proficient in tracking had already confirmed that those mysterious human fish tribe were swiftly heading south, their target was obviously returning to their southern border lair.
Could it be, Kill-living Monk had already clashed with those mysterious human fish tribe?
Ghost Li sighed softly, a trace of worry flashed past his eyes. The southern border barbarians were completely different from the Central Plains people, this had been mentioned many times in the Ghost King sect's remnant records, the people there did not know anything about true cultivation but they seemed to have various kinds of strange witchcraft and strange skills, unimaginable.
Kill-living Monk was not old and had a fiery temper but among the new generation of Ghost King sect disciples, he was indeed an outstanding figure and usually followed Ghost Li, was indeed a capable subordinate.
This mysterious disappearance, Ghost Li was indistinctly worried. Just that right now he was gazing ahead, the dark night was heavy, in the south there was a black figure, as if there was some enormous creature baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in the night, most likely it was that legendary ten thousand great mountains. And somewhere below that mountain range, was the legendary mysterious FenXiang Valley.
The southern border had always been FenXiang Valley's sphere of influence, for an Evil Faction disciple to enter alone, it was needless to say the danger.
While Ghost Li was deep in thought, suddenly he felt something, looked up at the sky, saw a lonely moon in the horizon, shuttling between the faint black clouds, as if suddenly, it also had some demonic qualities.
A dark red light, suddenly appeared in the night sky, under the clear moonlight, swept past the horizon, towards a mountain top in the south, descended.
Ghost Li stared at that strange red light, both of his brows gradually frowned, after a moment he seemed to make up his mind, patted Xiao Hui on his shoulder and then the green light under his feet returned, the Soul-Absorbing stick glimmered with faint light, supporting him and Xiao Hui slowly rose up, suddenly increased its speed, chased after that red light.
In the night sky, the black clouds gradually increased, that lonely moon in the horizon, its splendor also gradually dimmed, there seemed to be a kind of special southern border dark demonic air, in this night, becoming thicker and thicker.
That mysterious red light flew for a while, landed on a mountain ten miles south from the mountain where Ghost Li was hiding. There were many mountains in the southern border, on the mountains there were also many vegetation, just that in the forest of this nameless small mountain, there was a desolate ancient temple. That red light landed in front of the ancient temple, a wave of light wavered, a withered old man appeared.
He looked around, after making sure there was no one, he walked into the ancient temple.
Desolate mountains and wild ridges, a desolate ancient temple, yet someone came here in the middle of the night, naturally there was something unspeakable. After a while, in the shadows of the forest outside the ancient temple, Ghost Li's figure slowly appeared. His eyes assessed this nameless ancient temple and then looked up at the sky. The dark clouds in the night sky thickened, gradually covering the moonlight.
His figure flickered as he silently swept towards the ancient temple.
This ancient temple had obviously been abandoned for a long time, broken fences and walls were everywhere, even the main hall, looked extremely damaged from the outside, with holes everywhere. The night breeze blew over coldly, the broken windows creaked and swayed, the low sounds in the night seemed especially desolate and indistinctly strange.
[Bo!]
A light sound, as if someone had lit a match, a weak light lit up in the main hall, just that this light was dim and could only light up a little in the main hall, slightly further away, it was still shrouded in darkness.
"Ji ji, ji ji ji ji, ji, ji ji ji ji ji …" Suddenly, a wave of strange and indescribable sounds suddenly resounded in the hall. This sound was like the cries of ghosts in the middle of the night, and it was like the nocturnal movement of venomous insects. It instantly caused one's heart to go numb and feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ghost Li concealed himself in the darkness, quietly looked into the main hall.
Under the dim light in the main hall, other than that old man, there were two other people, one of them looked about thirty years old, medium build, the other one, rather tall but for some reason, his entire body was wrapped tightly in a cloak, not even a bit of his head was revealed, and that strange sound, was actually coming from under this person's cloak.
The sound reverberated in the dark ancient temple, becoming more and more demonic, like an evil ghost awakening.
Ghost Li watched coldly, it was also the first time he heard such strange words, naturally he did not know what it meant but looking at the other two people's expressions, he knew there would be an outcome. As expected, after that mysterious person spoke for a while, he temporarily stopped, the middle-aged man beside him who had been listening attentively turned to the old man and said, "Tribe leader said: This time we returned without any achievement, instead our tribe lost manpower and exposed our tracks, it is all because of your inaccurate information. After the Beast Deity King heard, he already flew into a rage … "
When that middle-aged man said the two words' Beast Deity ', his voice suddenly turned low and that tall figure wrapped in the cloak, also seemed to tremble.
That old man also frowned and said, "Our original agreement was to inform the Beast Deity King of the location of that 'Celestial Emperor Ming Stone', according to what we know, that strange stone is indeed in the Celestial Emperor Treasury in the death marsh, how can we blame our inaccurate information?"
