Chapter 264: Violating the Forbidden Array
Two people quickly grabbed the storage bags and stood back in the light circle.
“Shouldn’t we send more helpers?”
“Send more? You think we’re doing something legitimate here? The fewer people know, the better! If this gets exposed, our Tianxing Sect…”
Their conversation was abruptly cut off as white light emanated from the circle.
The two people disappeared within the light circle, and then the circle vanished as well.
Fang Yu walked out from the forest, with an intrigued look.
It was just as he thought.
The ones who took the storage bags from the corpses were indeed people from the Tianxing Sect!
And from these two people’s conversation, it was clear.
Tianxing Sect planned to kill all three hundred people who entered the valley in the same way!
“Tianxing Sect… quite bold.”
Three thousand years ago, such actions would have been enough to destroy a sect.
However, Fang Yu was still puzzled.
Was it really necessary to kill all these people just for their storage bags? And to extract their souls and blood!
It clearly wasn’t just about the wealth.
“Could there be another purpose?” Fang Yu wondered.
…
The Tianxing Sect was located on the mountainside of a tall mountain outside Fallen Immortal Valley.
Within the Tianxing Sect, there stood a tall tower.
At the top of the tower was an open platform with a stone monument.
At this moment, two figures stood in front of the monument.
They were the blue-robed elder and the man wearing a black cloak who had appeared at the entrance of Fallen Immortal Valley earlier.
“Bishop Yuan, isn’t this person dying too quickly? Such concentrated deaths will likely cause panic soon,” the blue-robed elder said solemnly while gazing at Fallen Immortal Valley in the distance.
The man addressed as Bishop Yuan smiled and said, “Sect Leader Zheng just wants them to help you search for possible treasures in the valley before they die, right?”
“That would be perfect,” Sect Leader Zheng said, stroking his white beard with a smile.
“In that case, I will slow down the blood sacrifice.”
“However, I’ll have to kill those who want to leave Fallen Immortal Valley now,” Bishop Yuan said coldly.
Sect Leader Zheng nodded in agreement.
…
Fang Yu quickly caught up with Su Lengyun’s group.
“Brother Yu, how did it go?” Su Lengyun asked.
“For now, I can only say that the sudden deaths are related to the Tianxing Sect, but there are still some things I can’t figure out,” Fang Yu said.
“Tianxing Sect…” Su Lengyun’s face darkened.
She never expected that the Tianxing Sect, as the host, would dare to do such a thing!
It’s worth noting that over twenty sects had entered Fallen Immortal Valley! Almost all the sects in Northern Huai had sent training teams!
And the teams consisted of core disciples, mostly led by sect leader-level figures!
Was Tianxing Sect trying to annihilate the core members of all Northern Huai sects!?
If this got out, Tianxing Sect would be finished immediately!
Su Lengyun’s expression changed as she considered their options.
If Tianxing Sect had ill intentions from the start, they were already trapped and couldn’t easily escape.
Su Lengyun looked at Fang Yu again, wanting to ask his opinion.
“I think since we’re already here, we should keep going forward. You must have paid quite a bit to Tianxing Sect, right?” Fang Yu asked Su Lengyun.
“I paid some jade items and pills,” Su Lengyun answered.
“That’s right, we at least need to break even,” Fang Yu said.
“Fang Yu, if you want to die, go by yourself, we won’t join you! The uncle from Shuangi Sect already said clearly that this place isn’t suitable for training now!” Liu Liansha couldn’t help but shout.
She just wanted to leave this haunted place!
This was also what the other disciples were thinking.
Fang Yu looked at these pale-faced female disciples and thought Liu Liansha had a point.
These disciples’ cultivation levels mostly remained around the tenth layer of Qi Refinement, with the best only reaching the twelfth layer.
Having them continue deeper would inevitably lead to dangers and constant troubles.
“You’re right, so you all stay here, don’t go anywhere,” Fang Yu said.
“Then what about you, Brother Yu?” Su Lengyun asked with a serious expression.
“I’ll quickly go ahead to see if there’s anything good to pick up, then find the Tianxing people to ask about the situation.”
As he spoke, Fang Yu looked up at the mountain range nearby and asked, “This mountain should be about the right height, running along the range should quickly get us to the end of Fallen Immortal Valley.”
“When I came here last time, my master told me that there are restrictions on both mountain ranges, climbing is forbidden…” Su Lengyun said.
“Restrictions? No matter, I’ll give it a try,” Fang Yu said.
Su Lengyun had absolute trust in Fang Yu’s abilities.
Seeing him say this, she didn’t say anything more.
Fang Yu turned around and ran toward the mountain range at extreme speed.
“Master, are we really going to wait here? Can’t we just turn back?” Liu Liansha asked.
Su Lengyun shook her head and said, “Since Tianxing Sect has done this, they won’t let us escape easily… Let’s just wait here for Brother Yu to return.”
In her heart, Su Lengyun actually wanted to go deeper with Fang Yu.
But she had to stay behind to protect her disciples’ safety.
…
Fang Yu stepped onto the steep rock face and leaped up, running toward the mountain peak.
The higher he ran, the more resistance he felt.
It seemed Su Lengyun was right, there were indeed restrictions on this mountain range.
However, this little resistance had no effect on Fang Yu at all.
“Going step by step is too slow.”
Fang Yu stopped on a protruding boulder.
Then, he bent his knees and gathered true qi under his feet…
“Bang!”
With a loud noise, Fang Yu shot upward toward the mountain peak!
…
Deep in Fallen Immortal Valley.
Black shadows swept across the ground at extreme speed.
It was the Ghost Sect’s team.
Leading the team was still that graceful woman with the veiled face.
At this moment, the woman held a bronze-colored compass in her hand.
Above the compass floated a needle formed of black qi, pointing straight ahead.
“The Yin-seeking Compass’s reaction is getting stronger, it seems… the immortal’s remains might be just ahead,” the woman’s eyes flashed with excitement behind her veil.
Their Ghost Sect didn’t enter Fallen Immortal Valley for training.
They brought their sect’s treasure, the Yin-seeking Compass, with only one purpose: to find the legendary immortal remains within Fallen Immortal Valley.
They hadn’t held much hope for this mission initially.
After all, the term “immortal” was too distant for them.
According to ancient records, the last person to ascend to immortality was over two thousand years ago.
Since then, no one on Earth had achieved ascension.
Many even believed that immortals didn’t exist at all, that they were just products of ancient people’s imagination.
But unexpectedly, after entering Fallen Immortal Valley, the Yin-seeking Compass showed a reaction, pointing toward the valley’s depths!
The Yin-seeking Compass’s function was to track yin and ghost energy.
Since it pointed to the valley’s depths, it meant there was something with extremely heavy yin energy deep in the valley.
And the legendary immortal remains were said to be in the deepest part of Fallen Immortal Valley where no one had ever reached!
The woman felt excited at the thought of possibly encountering immortal remains.
Finally, their sect master’s soul would have a place to rest!
“Speed up! Avoid all living beings!” the woman transmitted through true qi to her subordinates.
…
Fang Yu had reached the mountain top and was running forward at extreme speed.
As he ran, he looked down at the valley below.
Along the way, he saw many sect teams, some fighting with fourth or fifth-grade beast demons, some struggling to cross treacherous terrain, and others gathering herbs.
Besides these living people, Fang Yu also saw many dead ones, who died the same way as the corpses he encountered earlier.
Fang Yu continued rushing forward at extreme speed.
The so-called restrictions on the mountain range were like tickles to him, completely ineffective.
“It seems the claim about Fallen Immortal Valley having many precious treasures is a lie. I haven’t seen anything good all this way…” Fang Yu thought.
…
Outside Fallen Immortal Valley, on the Tianxing Sect tower.
The stone monument on the platform was emitting waves of light.
“Sect Leader Zheng, what’s happening?” Bishop Yuan asked.
Sect Leader Zheng’s face darkened as he said, “Someone has violated the restrictions.”
