Cangtian Valley
Cangtian Valley was located in the depths of the Tianyang Mountain Range.
The shape of the valley was rather peculiar. It was like an upside-down pot. The entrance was extremely small, but the deeper one went, the larger the space. It was filled with dense forests and high slopes, as if it was isolated from the outside world.
"Cangtian Valley is vast and the terrain is complex. There are many spirit beasts living here. Once it is attacked by spirit beasts, I'm afraid it will attract a group attack. No wonder it is called a dangerous place." Gu Xuanqing looked around and saw spirit beasts everywhere.
"If there is a beast tide here, I'm afraid few people will be able to escape." Lu Ling also looked around and said with some worry in his voice.
"Don't worry, there will never be a beast tide here." Hearing their words, Chu Xingyun laughed. Since he was familiar with the Tianyang Mountain Range, he was naturally familiar with Cangtian Valley.
"That's hard to say."
At this moment, Teng Qing's voice came from the front.
He turned his head and said casually, "Cangtian Valley is a dangerous place. The terrain is complex and spirit beasts are everywhere. Even if there is a beast tide, it is natural. Over the years, there have been a few beast tides in the Tianyang Mountain Range."
"Teng Qing, don't be rude!" Chang Mingyang shouted, but there was no blame in his voice. Instead, there was a hint of ridicule. "Sword Master Luo Yun is young and rarely goes out to train. It is natural that you don't know about the situation in the Tianyang Mountain Range."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Chu Xingyun. He did not say anything else and continued to move forward.
"It is really annoying to be so proud of such a thing." Ning Lefan snorted and stared at the people in front of him with some dissatisfaction.
As for Chu Xingyun, his expression did not change much. He was still looking around, happy and content.
As they moved forward, it was not long before a short peak of a thousand meters appeared in everyone's vision.
This short peak was continuous and spanned ten miles. It was like a barrier that separated Cangtian Valley. There were dense forests and countless mountain streams. Sometimes, they could even hear the high-pitched roars of beasts.
"Lin Changche greets you all!"
As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, an old man in a brocade robe walked over.
He first bowed to the crowd, then looked in the direction of Chu Xingyun and said fawningly, "I've heard that Sword Master Luo Yun is extraordinary and talented. Now that I've met you today, I can see that you truly live up to your name."
"There's no need for pleasantries. Lead the way." Chu Xingyun waved his hand and continued forward.
This old man also belonged to the Wanjian Pavilion and was mainly responsible for the investigation of the Spiritual Light Stone Vein.
Once he found the Spiritual Light Stone Vein, the Outer Sanctum would immediately take action to eliminate the spirit beasts and reorganize the fortifications. After the Spiritual Light Stones were mined, they would be handed over to the Internal Affairs Branch to be integrated into the Wanjian Pavilion.
Chu Xingyun already understood the entire process. Naturally, he did not need Lin Changche to explain further.
Seeing Chu Xingyun act so swiftly and decisively, Lin Changche's expression was a little awkward. He paused for a moment and immediately walked to the front to lead the way. The crowd behind him followed with swords in hand, cautiously on guard.
Awoo!
As soon as they entered the dense forest, a terrifying demonic aura rushed towards them. Chu Xingyun looked to the side and saw several wolf beasts running towards them. They were extremely fast and their bodies were surrounded by the power of the Earth Demon.
It was also at this moment that Ning Lefan's figure flashed. His entire body was like a fiery red meteor. He charged out angrily and his long hair fluttered as if he wanted to burn everything.
He held his sword with one hand and the flames condensed into an illusion of a fire phoenix. Its imposing aura enveloped the wolf beasts.
"Die!" Ning Lefan shouted angrily. Sword light flowed and with an indomitable aura, it directly penetrated the bodies of the wolf beasts. When the flames swept past, even the corpses were burning crazily.
When Ning Lefan's figure landed on the ground, the wolf beasts had already turned into ashes. The air was filled with violent sword Qi, silently telling the story of the massacre just now.
"So powerful!" When the outer sect disciples saw this scene, their faces were filled with admiration. Ning Lefan's swordsmanship just now was as fiery as a phoenix and had extremely terrifying lethality. Most importantly, they had never seen such a swordsmanship before.
This meant that this swordsmanship was imparted by Chu Xingyun.
"How dare a few wolf beasts behave so atrociously. You're really overestimating yourself." Ning Lefan sheathed his sword and said with some heroic spirit.
Chu Xingyun glanced at him and said casually, "The strongest of the three wolf beasts is only at the Sixth Heaven of the Earth Demon. Even if you only used 50% of your strength, it would still be enough to kill them easily. When you return, immediately go into seclusion to comprehend the sword intent. You are not allowed to take half a step out before you do it a hundred times."
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Ning Lefan's face immediately lost the smug look from before and was filled with depression.
Not far away, Lu Ling, Gu Xuanqing, and the rest covered their mouths and laughed softly. They looked at Ning Lefan with a pitiful gaze.
"And you guys." At this moment, Chu Xingyun looked down and said to Lu Ling, Gu Xuanqing, and the rest, "You guys came to Cangtian Valley to gain experience. Even if you are facing weak spirit beasts, you can't be careless. If you make a mistake, you will be severely punished."
In an instant, Lu Ling and the rest could no longer laugh. They held their swords tightly with both hands and were highly focused.
After the interlude ended, everyone continued forward.
As they got closer and closer to the depths, the number of spirit beasts around them increased.
To the spirit beasts, the existence of the Spiritual Light Stone Vein was also a kind of fortuitous encounter. Moreover, this Spiritual Light Stone Vein was a thousand meters long. If they could absorb the sharpness within, it could also increase the strength of the spirit beasts.
This was why Lu Qingyao was so worried when she knew that Lu Qingxuan was going to Cangtian Valley. There were many spirit beasts here, and some of them had already stepped into the Heaven Spirit Realm.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Immediately, everyone made their move.
Rumbling sounds could be heard as spiritual power and demonic aura collided, causing the ground to tremble. For a moment, the surrounding ancient trees were crushed, and there were figures running everywhere.
Chu Xingyun did not attack.
He stood in the center and carefully observed Lu Ling and the others' attacks. Sometimes he nodded and sometimes he gave instructions. Even if a spirit beast pounced on him, it would immediately be killed by his sword Qi. His actions were very elegant.
"Slash!"
The pitch-black sword light broke through the sky and shot toward a ghost-faced giant ape like a meteor. The giant ape roared angrily, and its sharp claws emitted a cold luster, shattering the sword light and stabbing toward Lu Qingyao's head.
Lu Qingyao moved back, but the sharp claws continued to attack. It was extremely fast and approached her.
"Dark Vortex!" Black light surged out of Lu Qingyao's body. With her as the center, it seemed to roll up a black vortex. In an instant, she got rid of the ghost-faced giant ape's sharp claws. Her figure was like a ghost as she appeared behind the giant ape. She stabbed her short sword toward its back.
"I didn't expect Lu Qingyao to become so powerful after breaking through to the Heaven Spirit Realm. She's actually not at a disadvantage when facing the ghost-faced giant ape in the second layer of the Heaven Spirit Realm." Teng Qing glanced at them with a surprised expression.
Qi Yuzhen also looked over and snorted. He said indifferently, "The ghost-faced giant ape's physique is amazing. With her strength, it's impossible for her to win. She can only cause some superficial injuries."
"Are you sure?"
Qi Yuzhen's voice reached Lu Qingyao's ears. The corners of her mouth lifted into a sneer. She shifted her gaze and winked at Lu Qingxuan who was not far away.
Lu Qingxuan immediately felt Lu Qingyao's gaze. She shook her head and chuckled helplessly.
In the next moment, she immediately closed her eyes.
When she opened them, her clear and moving eyes were actually dyed with a golden color. Her gaze was sharp and carried an indescribable invisible force. It ignored the void and landed on Lu Qingyao's body.
