There was a little light in the darkness.
… …
On a starless and moonless night, there wasn't the slightest bit of light in the misty valley. Apart from the faintly discernible light in the center of the distant valley, most of the place was covered in boundless darkness.
The night was somewhat cold, and the bleak sound of the wind was accompanied by a slight chill. When the wind blew through the valley, a strange dark color surged like a tide. It was a mist unique to this valley.
The valley was very large. During the day, one could see the undulating mountains surrounding it, but during the night, one could only vaguely see the tall shadows, like a silent giant standing on this piece of land.
The gap between two mountains on the northwest side of the valley was the only way in and out of the misty valley. Outside the valley, on the same rugged and dangerous mountain path, a figure was walking over.
There was a sudden murderous intent in the darkness. Someone in front of the mountain path shouted a few words in a low voice. The figure that was walking over stopped for a moment. With the dim light in the night, one could see that the person was a young man dressed in black.
The young man's expression was calm, as if he was not surprised by the sudden appearance of this obstruction. After listening to the whisper in the darkness, he also used a low voice to reply.
One question and one answer, like a password, but also like a secret code.
Soon after, the murderous intent hidden in the darkness slowly receded, and the black clothed youth continued to walk forward. However, this part of the mountain path to the entrance of the misty valley seemed quiet and cold, but on this night, it seemed to be particularly strict. On the way, just the same kind of questioning had appeared three times.
The black clothed youth answered fluently, calmly passing each of the questioning. In the darkness of the night and the cold night wind, he gradually approached the entrance of the valley.
At the side of the mountain path at the entrance, there was a raised hill. Several rocks of different sizes were scattered on the hill, and one could vaguely see a white figure standing at the top of the hill.
The black clothed youth's body paused for a moment. After standing in the same place for a moment, he turned around and walked up the hill.
There was no path on the small hill. Weeds grew and swayed slightly in the night wind. When he was about to reach the top of the small hill, the black-robed young man saw a wooden sign stuck in the ground in front of him. From the bottom to the top, there was a strange pattern engraved on it: above, there were gods flying in the sky, and below, there were ghosts howling. In the middle, there was an incomparably huge tree that stood between the sky and the earth, connecting gods and ghosts. It looked like a picture of a giant tree with gods and ghosts attached to the tree.
The black-clothed young man glanced at the wooden sign. After pausing on the picture on it for a moment, he looked at the figure in white standing ten feet behind the wooden sign.
In such a dark night, a person dressed in white was naturally very conspicuous. At this time, as if hearing the footsteps, the person in white turned around and saw that it was an extremely handsome man. When he saw the man in black, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, "You're here, Hei Lang."
The black-clothed youth called Hei Lang nodded and walked over. At the same time, he said, "Yun Jian, if your father saw you dressed like this, I'm afraid he would scold you again."
Yun Jian's expression was relaxed and calm. He smiled, "It's okay. Tonight's important matter is imminent. The old man has a lot of things to do in the desolate valley. Why would he care about me?"
Hei Lang smiled and walked over to stand side by side with Yun Jian. Looking into the distance, he saw that in the night, other than the dense fog in the valley behind him, there were countless mountain ranges in the distance. Although it was impossible to see the true appearance of the mountains during the day, one could still imagine the majesty and grandeur of the mountains.
Yun Jian suddenly let out a long breath and said, "Hei Lang, how long have you been in the Divine Sect?"
"Six years."
"So long." Yun Jian's face showed a trace of emotion. He then smiled and said, "I still remember that when you first came, you were still a teenager, about the same age as Xiao Qing. Now, in the blink of an eye, you've both grown up."
Hei Lang smiled and did not say anything.
Yun Jian continued, "Oh right, Xiao Qing also came tonight. She might be here soon. Do you want to wait for her?"
Hei Lang shook his head and said, "The elder ordered me to send the last 'Blood Soul Crystal' into the valley for the 'God Subduing Incantation'. I'm afraid that the divine incantation will be activated soon and I won't be able to come out. I'll see you later. "
Yun Jian raised his eyebrows and revealed a strange expression. He looked at Hei Lang and sighed after a moment, "Only someone like you has the ability to obtain such a rare object like the Blood Soul Crystal. No wonder my father has valued you so much all these years. He's even more intimate than me, his own son."
Hei Lang raised his head to look at Yun Jian and frowned. He seemed to want to say something, but Yun Jian immediately laughed and said, "Alright, alright, it's just a joke. What kind of relationship do we have? How can I doubt you?" As he spoke, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. A trace of ridicule appeared on his face as he said to Hei Lang, "Oh right, when the matter is over, quickly come back to me. Xiao Qing might have a secret to tell you."
Hei Lang was startled and said, "Secret? What secret? "
Yun Jian smiled and said, "If I say it, would it still be a secret? Just remember to come back and see me later. "
Hei Lang thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Alright."
As he spoke, he nodded to Yun Jian, turned around, and strode away. Not long after, he walked down the hill and into the valley, disappearing into the boundless darkness.
… ….
After Hei Lang walked for about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, there was suddenly movement on the mountain path below. After a while, a light sound was heard and a light body flew up from below. She turned around in midair and landed beside Yun Jian. It was a beautiful woman that was as beautiful as a flower.
When Yun Jian saw her, there was a trace of joy on his face. However, when he saw the woman beside him, he frowned and snorted, "Nonsense! Aren't you afraid of accidentally stumbling? It'll be too late to regret it then. "
The beautiful girl giggled and seemed to be very close to Yun Jian. She grabbed his arm and said with a smile, "Big brother, you're here. What's there to be afraid of?"
Yun Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How can I have such a heartless sister like you? Oh right, Hei Lang just left here and went into the valley. "
The sister he mentioned, who was also the beautiful woman named Yun Xiaoqing, let out an "ah" and looked towards the valley. She then complained to Yun Jian, "Really! Big brother, why didn't you stop him? You clearly know that I have something to say to him. "
Yun Jian shook his head and said, "The important matter is more important. He has the Blood Soul Crystal and needs to be sent into the 'Great Kala Array' in the valley. When the 'God Subduing Incantation' is activated, he still needs to help father and the other elders. He really can't stay here for too long. "
