Moreover, the name Fox Immortal Valley caught Lu Ye's attention.
He took out the Ten-Point Map and compared it with his current location. There were no special markings on the Ten-Point Map. In other words, the existence of this valley was not recorded on the Ten-Point Map.
In that case, the name Fox Immortal Valley was unique to the cultivators here.
He had previously speculated that the Senior was a Monster, but it was difficult to determine what kind of Monster he was unless he revealed his true form.
Fox Immortal Valley was undoubtedly a good hint.
A Fox Monster?
It could be explained. Legend had it that when a Fox Monster took human form, the men would be handsome and the women would be seductive.
However, the Senior was able to use a Soul Secret Technique with the strength of a Cloud River Realm cultivator. He was obviously not an ordinary Fox Monster, and most likely had some extremely special bloodline.
Take Hu Po for example. There were countless tiger-type Monster Beasts in the world, but other than Hu Po, there had never been a tiger-type Monster Beast that could transform into a Nightmare Spirit.
Hu Po had the bloodline of the White Tiger, one of the Four Symbols Saint Beast, and transforming into a Nightmare Spirit was its innate ability.
No matter what, the Senior was not easy to deal with. Now that he was in Fox Immortal Valley, Lu Ye had the Innate Skill Tree and was not affected by the Senior's Secret Technique. However, Li Baxian's mind was controlled and he was dead set on following the Senior. Lu Ye could not take him away.
Even Feng Yuechan, who had lived with him for many years, could be seen how overbearing the Soul Secret Technique was. If Lu Ye forcefully took Li Baxian away, he would only expose the fact that he could not be controlled. At that time, all the cultivators in Fox Immortal Valley would come after him.
There were as many Masters here as there were clouds, and Cloud River Realm Eighth or Ninth Order cultivators were everywhere. If he really went that far, the consequences would be unpredictable.
He secretly rejoiced that Feng Yuechan had stayed behind to take care of Giant Armor when it was injured. If she had followed him, they would definitely be wiped out.
Now that Feng Yuechan and Giant Armor were still in the Spirit Land, Lu Ye at least had a backup and would not be alone.
There was a place called Immortal Fox Valley in the Cloud River Battlefield that had never been discovered by anyone before. Firstly, this place was located in the depths of the Great Mang Mountains. It was very difficult for ordinary cultivators to reach this place. Secondly, it was because of the rules of Immortal Fox Valley. All cultivators who entered this place had to sever their past. Under the Supreme One's secret soul technique, no one would be able to spread the news of this place.
In this way, even if a cultivator went missing for a long time and couldn't be contacted, his sect and friends wouldn't be able to find him. At most, they could only determine whether he was alive or dead through the battlefield imprint.
If Lu Ye wanted to take Li Baxian away from this place, he would have to first break the divine sense secret technique that His Excellency had planted. Otherwise, Li Baxian would not obediently submit. However, divine sense secret techniques involved the power of one's divine sense, so how could Lu Ye, who was only at the Cloud River Tier, possibly break them?
Unless His Honor dispels the secret technique himself, that would be impossible as well.
Or kill her!
In comparison, killing her was the only feasible option.
No matter how strong she was, she was only at the Cloud River Tier. And from what he saw of her today, she was not an overlord-level existence. In other words, her strength was at most at the peak of the Cloud River Tier. Thus, although killing her was difficult, it was not impossible.
The difficult part was how to deal with the cultivators of Immortal Fox Valley.
Lu Ye wasn't too sure how many cultivators were gathered here, but from the moment he met Zhou Yuntian, he had seen more than 30 cultivators. And this was only what he had seen, so there were definitely many more that he had not seen.
What did this fox spirit want to do by gathering so many cultivators?
After pondering for a long time, Lu Ye had a vague plan in his heart. No matter what, it was not wrong to first investigate the strength of Immortal Fox Valley. Only after he understood everything about Immortal Fox Valley could he deal with the current situation more effectively.
He had to first contact Feng Yuechan and Giant Armor.
He and Li Baxian had chased after Xia Liang and Tan Sheng, and there had been no news of them for so long. Presumably, Feng Yuechan was already anxious.
Li Baxian could not send a message to reply, so he could only contact her himself.
Moreover, when he pretended to be unconscious, he had already received a message, but it was inconvenient for him to check it. If he guessed correctly, it should be Feng Yuechan.
Raising his hand to tap on the battlefield imprint, Lu Ye calmly checked it. Sure enough, it was Feng Yuechan who had sent a message. Moreover, there were several messages asking about his and Li Baxian's situation.
"Senior Sister Feng."
Almost as soon as the message was sent, Feng Yuechan replied. Clearly, she had been waiting.
"Junior Brother Lu, you've finally replied. How's the situation over there? Are you injured? Where's my Senior Brother? Why hasn't he replied to my message? "
Through the battlefield imprint, Feng Yuechan could confirm that Lu Ye and Li Baxian were still alive, but they had not replied, so she could not help but have a bad feeling.
"Senior Brother and I are safe and sound, you don't have to worry. However, we've encountered some things over here, so I'm afraid we won't be able to return to the spiritual land for a while."
"Where are you? I'll come and find you."
"You can't come!" Lu Ye hurriedly refused, and then told Feng Yuechan about what happened to him and Li Baxian, telling her about their current situation.
Feng Yuechan was obviously greatly shocked, "You're saying that Senior Brother's mind has been controlled by a fox demon?"
"That's just my guess. I haven't seen her in person, so I can't say for sure. However, it's true that his mind has been controlled. Senior Brother's current behavior is no different from usual. The only thing is that he is affected by the Soul Secret Technique and obeys the fox demon's orders. I can't force him to leave."
"Damned beast!" Feng Yuechan cursed. Although she was curious as to why Lu Ye was not affected by the Soul Secret Technique, she did not ask.
After all, if Lu Ye was really affected, he would not be talking to her about these things.
"That fox demon has a rule. Once you enter Fox Immortal Valley, you must cut off your past. So, Senior Sister Feng, if you send a message to Senior Brother, Senior Brother will not reply to you. However, to avoid being exposed, please pretend that you don't know and continue to contact Senior Brother."
"I understand," Feng Yuechan replied. Soon, she sent another message, "After hearing what you said, I remember something. A few years ago, a Cloud River Realm cultivator from Pill Heart Sect went missing in Mount Taimang. Although he was confirmed to be alive through the Battlefield Imprint, no matter who sent the message, there was no reply. The sect thought that he had encountered an accident. Although they sent people into Mount Taimang to search for him many times, they found nothing. Now, it seems that the missing person has most likely fallen into Fox Immortal Valley."
"What's that person's name?" Lu Ye hurriedly asked. If that was the case, that person was definitely still in Fox Immortal Valley.
"He's already dead. A year after he went missing, the Battlefield Imprint disappeared."
Lu Ye's heart turned cold. He was even more certain that Fox Immortal Valley was not a peaceful place.
Moreover, judging from the situation in Fox Immortal Valley, Pill Heart Sect was not the only sect that had lost cultivators. However, because there was no way to contact the missing cultivators, the situation in Fox Immortal Valley had never been exposed.
Although Lu Ye did not know how many cultivators had wandered into Fox Immortal Valley, it was definitely not a small number.
There were only a total of 100 pavilions that could be used for living. Even if each person occupied a pavilion, there would only be slightly more than 100 people. Where did all the cultivators go?
There should be some dangers that he had never seen before.
"Junior Brother Lu, you must be careful over there. Take good care of your senior brother. If there are any abnormalities, you must send me a message."
"I know. Don't worry, Senior Sister Feng. By the way, how's Giant Armor's condition?"
"Junior Brother Giant Armor's physique is strong. His injuries are not serious, but they look a little scary. He's fine now."
"That's good."
He exchanged a few more words with Feng Yuechan before ending the transmission.
Sitting upright on the bed, Lu Ye's eyes flickered.
If he wanted to kill that fox demon, it was not enough to rely on his strength alone. Perhaps he could get Feng Yuechan to contact some people and have them be on standby at the spiritual land?
However, Lu Ye quickly dismissed this idea.
There were quite a number of cultivators in Fox Immortal Valley. If he really wanted to contact some helpers, he did not know how many would be needed.
Furthermore, there was a wolf pack at the spiritual land. When the time came, he only had to get Feng Yuechan and Giant Armor to bring the wolf pack out. There was no need for him to go through the trouble of finding any helpers.
Therefore, what he had to do was to integrate into Fox Immortal Valley as much as possible and find out the strength of Fox Immortal Valley, especially the strength of that fox demon. If he wanted to kill her, he had to at least figure out how capable she was.
After making up his mind, Lu Ye stood up and began to tidy up his house. There were many things left behind by the original owner here, so he naturally had to clean them up.
After tidying up quickly, Lu Ye walked out of the small building and set up some simple formations outside. He also went to Li Baxian's residence next door and set up some formations for him as well.
The night passed peacefully as he cultivated.
The next day, while Lu Ye was cultivating, he heard the conversation between Li Baxian and Zhou Yuntian from the small building next door.
Zhou Yuntian was here to deliver a reward. When he met the fox demon yesterday, the fox demon undoubtedly valued Li Baxian's talent very highly and specifically ordered Zhou Yuntian to reward him with some cultivation resources. Zhou Yuntian naturally did not dare to disobey the fox demon's orders.
Lu Ye did not know what he had sent, but since it was cultivation resources, it should be either spirit stones or spirit pills.
Not long after, Zhou Yuntian walked out from Li Baxian's place and went straight to Lu Ye's place. He called out, "Fellow Daoist Lu, are you here?"
Lu Ye stood up and walked out of his room. He cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou."
Zhou Yuntian chuckled and asked with concern, "How is it? Are you used to living here?"
Lu Ye replied, "It's quiet and empty, to my liking."
"That's good." Zhou Yuntian nodded and did not beat around the bush. He said bluntly, "You said yesterday that you have some attainments in formations?"
"That's right, but what kind of formations do I need to set up?"
"That's not it. It's just that although there are many fellow daoists in the valley, the only one who cultivates formations is fellow daoist Xie. So, all the formations in the valley are under his charge. Since fellow daoist Lu has some attainments in formations, His Honor wants you to be Fellow Daoist Xie's assistant and help him maintain the formations."
Lu Ye naturally would not refuse this kind of thing. He could use this opportunity to familiarize himself with the situation in Fox Immortal Valley. He nodded, "Alright."
