Chapter 1371: Life and Death Are Predestined

"Oh?" Wei Hong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly retreated to his own team.

Upon hearing this, Su Yi also stopped worrying. He looked at the glowing valley entrance with a slight glimmer in his eyes, and whispered to the Elder Tang Wang beside him.

"Elder Tang, will the valley master not come today?"

Tang Wang lowered his head, his eyes shining with determination as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Given the valley master’s personality, this kind of situation shouldn’t occur. I took the initiative to receive you, so it is likely that Elder Nie will be in charge of your entry into the valley."

Su Yi responded with a sound, and sure enough, several streamers flew swiftly from the northern part of the valley, arriving at the entrance within moments.

The arrivals were none other than Elder Nie, who had been with Elder Tang Wang earlier. His silver hair cascaded like a waterfall, his eyes full of determination as he walked confidently in front of the crowd.

Behind him were Nangong Hange and three disciples from Nine Star Valley. Two were at the third grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm, and one was at the ninth level of the Yuan Void Realm. Their ages were all around thirty.

Nangong Hange and I dressed similarly, with a blank expression and no emotions.

Elder Nie and the people behind him landed slowly, and Elder Nie looked around and gave a slight bow.

"I’m sorry to keep you all waiting!"

The people signaled quietly to Elder Nie, and when Xuanying Sect and Green Flame School saw Elder Nie and the others approaching, their faces immediately changed.

"Sealed Thunder Valley is a rare opportunity, so it’s only right to wait a bit longer!" Sikong Shang smiled widely, ignoring the glances from the others and acting very natural.

After listening, Elder Nie nodded slightly, his face turning red with happiness as he spoke loudly.

"Very well! This time, I am inviting everyone to enter Sealed Thunder Valley to heal their injuries on behalf of the Valley Lord. It is also for everyone to learn about Nine Star Valley. If you can enter the Nine-star Disastrous Sea and obtain great treasures, it will be a great destiny with our Nine Star Valley. Each of you should make more efforts to seize various opportunities."

Elder Nie looked around and continued speaking.

"The Starshine Token that was handed out to everyone yesterday is enough for you to freely use your energy in Nine Star Valley for about half a month. However, the rules inside Sealed Thunder Valley are different, so just in case, all of you must leave the valley after ten days!"

"Ten days? If Starshine Token doesn’t work inside, what should we do?"

Some disciples from lesser powers began to worry, and different concerns appeared on their faces.

"I, as a disciple of Nine Star Valley, have entered the Star Shine Domain and the Sky Thunder Mountain, two secret realms. The Starshine Token can completely regulate the inner energy and has never failed. As for the final Nine-star Disastrous Sea, it depends on each individual’s abilities. We cannot force ourselves and must make an agreement before entering. Once inside, fortunes and misfortunes are intertwined, and life and death are in our own hands!"

Elder Nie’s expression became serious, implying that if anyone forcibly enters the Nine-star Disastrous Sea within the Sealed Thunder Valley and any harm or casualty occurs, Nine Star Valley would not be held responsible.

Wuyan Palace and Purple Shadow Building, standing aside, truly came for healing and didn’t have much hesitation.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the disciples of Xuanying Sect and Green Flame School in front of them were like a boiling pot, with discussions starting everywhere.

Everyone knows that there are treasures scattered throughout the Nine-star Disastrous Sea. Not entering means entering the Sealed Thunder Valley in vain.

"If something happens to anyone from your Nine Star Valley, won’t you take responsibility?"

"What dangers are there inside the valley? Nine Star Valley doesn’t know, nor do we have the ability to solve them. What should we do? Should we go in or not?"

Among the two forces, young disciples began to speak up. They had already heard of the evil in Sealed Thunder Valley. They were originally sent by their sect to seize opportunities, but now their lives were being threatened. How could they not be anxious?

The elders on one side furrowed their brows like the character "mountain." They looked at Elder Nie, their minds spinning rapidly.

"Kid, with these strange occurrences, I’m afraid this Starshine Token won’t be of any use. Once you go in and encounter danger, come out immediately without any delay!" Xi Wuqing transmitted his voice to Su Yi beside him.

Su Yi nodded secretly, raising an eyebrow. They had already come this far, so there was no reason to retreat. He looked at Shi Susu beside him, who also nodded at him.

In an instant, their arrogance surged, and their eyes brimmed with surging fighting spirit as they silently watched the changes on the field.

Faced with such a huge reaction, Nangong Hange remained calm and composed. He cleared his throat, and a resolute and righteous expression appeared on his handsome face.

"Everyone, everyone! The opening of Sealed Thunder Valley is meant for everyone to heal. I, Nine Star Valley, can guarantee that there will be no losses in the Star Shine Domain. Powerful individuals from Nine Star Valley will always be stationed there. If you all insist on entering the second secret realm, or even the third level, it goes against the initial intention of Nine Star Valley! Please act within your abilities!"

The crowd fell silent one after another. The purpose of each force coming to Sealed Thunder Valley was known to all.

"What should we do? Master! Should we still go in?" a Xuanying Sect disciple with a mouse-like face whispered to Sikong Shang.

A sparkle lit up in Sikong Shang’s slender eyes. He clenched his teeth and forced a smile.

"City Master Nangong’s words are true. Everyone should rely on their own abilities. Life and death are determined by fate. If you can’t do it, then don’t go in!" After speaking, he glanced at the Green Flame School.

Meng Xun also agreed, echoing the words of the disciples beside him.

"Did you hear that? Even the notorious Sima thief dares to go in. Are you too afraid?"

As soon as the words fell, the disciples of the Green Flame School seemed to be ignited, shouting and making a commotion.

On the other side, the strong individuals from the Wuyan Palace and the Purple Shadow Building gathered together, discussing in low voices. Then, they nodded and chose to enter.

Nangong Hange looked at everyone calming down and glanced at Su Yi. Then his gaze shifted to the center, emitting a strong presence.

"Since everyone agrees, we will meet at the appointed time. Please select a team of five members."

Actually, each faction had already prepared a list of five people. The factions with the intention of bringing their disciples to search for treasure naturally had concerns. They didn’t want to lose their elite disciples, but they also didn’t want to enter the Secret Realm and gain nothing.

After some struggle, Xuanying Sect and Green Flame School both chose two elite disciples to accompany the elders of their sects. As for Wuyan Palace and Purple Shadow Building, they were represented by Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan, along with four sect elders.

Overlord Sect and Cangyun Temple didn’t make any changes to their established lineups.

Cangyun Temple consisted of Wei Hong, Qin Yusheng, Shi Susu, the elder Chen Chuan mentioned earlier, who was at the Ninth Grade of Yuan Emperor Realm, and the old man with silver beard, who had arrived last night. Wei Hong held great respect for him.

Overlord Sect had Xi Wuqing and Fairy Wuchang stepping aside, leaving only Elder Tang Wang standing among them.

Nangong Hange didn’t show any intention of inviting him into the team, Su Yi asked softly.

"Elder Tang, aren’t you going to join the team from Nine Star Valley? City Master Nangong is waiting for you."

Tang Wang shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the valley entrance, his expression complicated.

"I’m just here to make up the numbers. My sole purpose of entering the valley is to ensure your safety. I can’t guarantee what will happen inside."

After speaking, Su Yi felt a little touched. Within Nine Star Valley, only Elder Tang was open-hearted. He was not sure why Elder Tang would associate with Nine Star Valley, even if there was some danger. The current Tang Wang seemed to be kind and selfless.

"It’s time!" The soldier guarding the valley entrance looked at the huge stone sundial on the side of the valley and shouted loudly.
