Chapter 261: Bizarre Death
“Why are only teams from various sects coming to Fallen Immortal Valley? Aren’t there any other martial artists?” Fang Yu asked.
“Because the news about Fallen Immortal Valley’s opening wasn’t fully spread to the public. Only the major sects in Huaibei should know about this,” Su Lengyun said.
Fang Yu nodded.
At ten thirty in the morning.
An elder in blue robes appeared and transmitted his voice using true qi: “The time has come, the second batch of sects may enter the valley.”
As soon as the elder finished speaking, teams from various sects immediately entered Fallen Immortal Valley.
Su Lengyun wasn’t in a hurry, waiting for the sects in front to enter before starting to move forward.
Fang Yu walked beside Su Lengyun.
The Eagle Sect team followed closely behind, entering Fallen Immortal Valley.
…
The blue-robed elder from Tianxing Gate silently watched team after team enter the valley.
Only after no one remained at the valley entrance did he turn around, preparing to leave.
At this moment, a man wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared before him.
“How’s the situation? How many people entered Fallen Immortal Valley?” the man asked.
The blue-robed elder’s eyes narrowed slightly and said, “It’s about the same as our initial estimate, roughly over three hundred people entered the valley, from more than twenty different sects.”
“Over three hundred people… not bad, quite a harvest,” the man said.
The blue-robed elder stroked his beard and said, “My task here is complete. After this succeeds, I hope you won’t forget what you promised our Tianxing Gate.”
The man chuckled and said, “Rest assured, Gate Master Zheng. Our Witch God Cult has always valued credibility. Besides, those magical treasures, medicinal herbs, and jade artifacts mean nothing to our Witch God Cult.”
The blue-robed elder nodded, then remembered something and said seriously, “You must ensure everyone stays inside.”
“If even one person escapes and reveals what happened inside, not only will our Tianxing Gate be finished, your Witch God Cult won’t escape either!”
“Gate Master Zheng need not worry too much, we will definitely handle this well,” the cloaked man said.
“Hmm.” The blue-robed elder clasped his hands behind his back, looking toward Fallen Immortal Valley, his eyes turning cold.
…
“Master, the Eagle Sect people keep following behind us!” A female disciple noticed this point and walked up to tell Su Lengyun.
Su Lengyun knew the Eagle Sect was behind them, but she didn’t want to pay attention to it.
She came here to give her disciples experience, there was no need to conflict with the Eagle Sect.
“Ignore them,” Su Lengyun said.
By now, they had reached the first fork in Fallen Immortal Valley.
Su Lengyun stopped directly, no longer moving forward.
The Eagle Sect team following behind also stopped.
Pang Tao looked at the motionless Su Lengyun, slightly narrowing his eyes.
“Master, we…” a disciple came forward.
“We’ll go this way,” Pang Tao said.
To deal with these Frost Cold Palace people, he wasn’t in a hurry.
They were still in the outermost part of Fallen Immortal Valley, if conflict occurred, the Frost Cold Palace people could easily escape outside the valley.
To make a move, it had to be done in a deeper location.
…
Seeing the Eagle Sect take the left mountain path, Su Lengyun chose to take the right mountain path.
Fang Yu naturally had no objections.
As they gradually went deeper, no dangerous situations appeared, just increasingly rugged mountain paths.
Moreover, the deeper they went, the more forks in the road they encountered.
As they walked, they could no longer see the figures of other sect teams around them.
In the current position, within a one-kilometer radius, there was only the Frost Cold Palace team.
“Master, did we come so early just to climb mountains? There’s nothing in this valley.”
During the journey, Liu Liansha complained.
Su Lengyun slightly frowned and said, “This is still the outermost part of Fallen Immortal Valley. We need to walk at least another hour inward to truly enter Fallen Immortal Valley.”
“Another hour!?” Liu Liansha sighed.
Su Lengyun scanned the disciples behind her and said, “Everyone stay with the group, don’t fall behind.”
Fang Yu walked forward silently, his eyes thoughtful.
Since entering Fallen Immortal Valley, he could constantly feel an extremely subtle force from formations.
Fang Yu was certain this wasn’t an illusion.
And for the formation force to be so subtle, either the formation was about to fail, or someone deliberately concealed the restrictive force.
Fang Yu leaned toward the former.
For a sacred sect ground that only opened once every twenty years, setting up some formations and restrictions was very normal.
The Frost Cold Palace team continued walking forward, with cliff walls on both sides covered in messy green grass.
“Ah!”
Just then, a female disciple let out a scream.
“What’s wrong?”
Everyone looked toward this female disciple.
“Just, just now a snake slid by…” the female disciple said, face pale.
“It’s just a snake… why make such a fuss?” Liu Liansha gave her a look and said.
The female disciple also felt her reaction was too much, blushed with embarrassment, and lowered her head.
“Let’s continue forward,” Su Lengyun said.
After passing through a narrow mountain path, ahead was a relatively open forest.
There were clear footprints on the ground, showing others had passed through here before.
The forest was very quiet.
The noon sunlight shone down, filtering through the leaves onto the ground.
The scenery looked quite beautiful.
“Master, there’s still nothing around here, it’s just an ordinary forest,” Liu Liansha said.
Su Lengyun also felt something was strange.
They had been walking for nearly an hour and a half, yet the surroundings were still peaceful.
Even stranger was that they hadn’t encountered anyone from other sect teams.
Logically, with over three hundred people from more than twenty sects entering Fallen Immortal Valley, encounters between groups should happen quite easily.
“Haven’t you been here before? Why do you look so confused?” Fang Yu looked at Su Lengyun and asked.
“I didn’t take this path last time,” Su Lengyun answered softly.
“Oh, then let’s keep going forward, we should encounter something eventually?” Fang Yu said.
The team walked forward for about another ten minutes but still hadn’t left this forest.
Walking at the front of the team, Su Lengyun suddenly changed expression and raised her hand, signaling the disciples behind to stop.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Liu Liansha came forward and asked.
At this moment, she casually glanced forward and her face turned pale.
Under a large tree ahead lay more than ten people wearing white robes.
These people lay flat, motionless, their postures looking peaceful.
However, their expressions were terribly horrifying!
Eyes wide open, eyeballs protruding, mouths agape, expressions twisted, as if in extreme pain.
But there were no obvious wounds visible on their faces or bodies.
Even stranger was that their skin all showed an abnormal snow-white color!
“These, these people…” Liu Liansha felt cold in her heart, her body trembling slightly.
“All dead,” Su Lengyun said, her tone also somewhat shocked.
She hadn’t expected such an incident to occur in this seemingly quiet and peaceful forest!
An entire sect’s training team, all dead!
“From their clothing, they should be people from the Xuanyue Gate,” Su Lengyun muttered.
At this time, the female disciples of Frost Cold Palace also saw the dozen or so corpses ahead, all frightened pale.
By now, Fang Yu had already walked forward.
He crouched down to examine one of the bodies.
This person was indeed completely dead, ice cold all over.
His eyes were wide open, expression fearful, but his gaze was empty.
Fang Yu slightly narrowed his eyes, observing his pale skin.
Blood drained?
Fang Yu frowned, looking at another corpse, finding the same condition.
Moreover, Fang Yu also noticed that these people’s clothes were all intact, and the nearby trees and ground showed no signs of fighting.
In other words, these people were ambushed, and killed instantly without any chance to resist.
From their lying positions, it was highly possible that all these people died simultaneously!
“How was this done?”
Fang Yu was extremely puzzled.
Because there were no visible wounds on these bodies, and no blood stains underneath them.
How was it possible to simultaneously kill more than ten people in an extremely short time and drain their blood?
“Brother Yu, how did these people… die?” Su Lengyun came forward and asked.
Fang Yu stood up, shook his head, and said, “It’s a bit strange.”
