Chapter 338: Spiritual Valley and the Mysterious Shadow
Yun Yue was surprised by Mu Ling'er's words and couldn't help but glance at Ye Chunyang. He never expected that Mu Ling'er would refuse her choice to go with him.
After his eyes stayed on Ye Chunyang for a moment, he didn't say much, nodded and left first in the Yun Nian.
The gloom that flashed in his eyes before leaving was all seen by Ye Chunyang.
In response, Ye Chunyang only smiled slightly and didn't care, and Mu Linger's choice was also within his expectation. But it was the silent Fairy Yumei who made him secretly wary.
After Yun Yue left, the disciples from each peak also followed, leaving only Ye Chunyang and Li Mochen in the pavilion.
"Brother Ye, let's go too." Li Mochen opened his fan, and after the spiritual light appeared, he turned into a hundred-foot-wide figure and swept up.
Ye Chunyang did not hesitate, nodded to Mu Ling'er and then took out his magic weapon and flew away.
Soon, Shiliting was empty.
Yu Bao was flying in mid-air, and Mu Ling'er said with a half-smile: "Brother Ye, it is said that you deposed Taoist Master Zhenxu of Tianshu Peak a few days ago. His Taoist companion, Fairy Yumei, is here on this trip. You have to be more careful.”
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed slightly and he chuckled: "I didn't expect that this matter has also reached the ears of Fairy Ling'er, but it is not an important matter. This time I went down the mountain to focus on the overall situation. I don't think Fairy Yumei dared to act rashly."
Mu Ling'er chuckled and said: "The little girl is just practicing with the Supreme Elder, and is not isolated from the world. Naturally, she knows everything about what happened in the door. However, after not seeing each other for a long time, Brother Ye has become quite familiar. Ling'er is really not used to hearing this talk of 'Fairy Ling'er'. Could it be that she has forgotten this old friend of mine since she became a Junior Sister?"
She blinked her bright big eyes and stared at Ye Chunyang, as if she had a deep meaning.
In addition to her, there are two other women in the group, Ling Xue and Qian Ying. Only women who are also aware of the daughter's family's thoughts.
Next to her, Qian Ying also heard the conversation between the two. She glanced at Mu Linger inadvertently, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
This person started with Senior Brother Ye and had a deep relationship. How could a junior sister like her be comparable?
Ye Chunyang is not a person with low emotional intelligence. From past contacts, he naturally noticed that Qianying was strange towards him.
However, there was indeed a feeling of adversity between him and Mu Ling'er, and they were naturally relatively familiar with each other. He only thought that the other party was making fun of him.
He coughed dryly and said, "What are you talking about, Ling'er? I and Qian Ying are just friends from the same family. Ling'er must not overthink it."
"Is it just friendship from the same family?" Mu Linger laughed playfully, but she didn't know who was speaking out of her words.
"The friendship of the same family is indeed not as good as the feeling of adversity!" Qianying slightly lowered her head, not letting others see her disappointed expression.
Ye Chunyang didn't seem to notice at all, and just smiled calmly at Mu Ling'er and said: "Of course, it's just that now that you are the disciple of the Supreme Elder, there is a huge difference in status between you and me, so the necessary titles are still indispensable."
"Bullshit!" Mu Ling'er pouted and said disapprovingly: "The disparity in status is not what others say. Why does Brother Ye care about this? You and I escaped from the Hanging City together without Tianmen and Qiankun Sword. The clutches of the faction, isn’t this friendship better than those so-called sectarian opinions?”
Ye Chunyang smiled and stopped answering, but he did feel a little bit in his heart.
Before joining the Tianqi Sect, Mu Ling'er only cared about her family and put interests first in everything she did. Perhaps now that she has shed her burden, her personality has become more outspoken, allowing people to get closer to her.
But Mu Ling'er's frank words made Li Mochen and Ling Xue feel a little weird. They looked at him in unison, their eyes slightly ambiguous.
Mu Ling'er seemed to have noticed that she had made a mistake. Mu Ling'er's pretty face turned red, so she cleared her throat and changed the subject, saying: "Speaking of which, Wu Tian Clan secretly cultivates and annexes various factions. It is obviously an evil intention. If we can seize the other party's lifeline this time, we will come to them." I won’t dare to press on you any more.”
Ye Chunyang frowned and said nothing.
"This matter is not as simple as imagined. As far as I know, Wutianmen is not only annihilating various factions to strengthen its own strength, but also secretly planning to achieve certain goals in the spiritual world. It seems to also involve some second-rate sects and cultivating families. "
After a long silence, Ye Chunyang finally spoke.
At this time, he seemed to remember something, looked at Mu Ling'er, and said, "Have you ever thought about going back to Mu's house this time when you go down the mountain?"
Mu Linger was startled.
It was said that after Mulu and Ye Chunyang came to Tianqi Sect a year ago, although the sect sent news to the family, she never showed up in person, so she was still a little concerned.
Moreover, when he was outside Xuankong City, because he secretly helped Ye Chunyang escape, he indirectly brought the Mu family to the opposite sides of the Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutianmen. I don't know what their situation will be like this year.
Now hearing that Ye Chunyang mentioned that Wutianmen was secretly planning a conspiracy, Mu Linger was slightly worried, fearing that the Mu family would be poisoned because of this.
It's just that this time she went down the mountain to focus on the sect's mission, but she couldn't act without authorization, lest she leak her whereabouts and put everyone at a disadvantage.
After thinking about it for a few times, Mu Linger sighed slightly, showing a bit of worry.
Ye Chunyang could see the worries in her heart and comforted her: "You don't have to worry. Although Wutianmen is strong, with the Mu family's background, they don't dare to take action easily."
Hearing these words, Mu Ling'er also showed confidence and said: "Brother Ye is absolutely right. Our Mu family is not an ordinary family. If Wutianmen wants to touch my Mu family, they must be prepared to sacrifice a heavy price." yes."
Ye Chunyang smiled and did not answer. Although the Mu family is a business family, its strength is not comparable to other second-rate forces. Not to mention the ancestor who is in the pill formation stage, there are also many masters in the middle and late stages of magic. If Wutianmen wants to be disadvantageous to them, , it really needs to be weighed.
However, what he was worried about was not this, but what he heard in the sub-rudder that day was that Captain Yan mentioned that he wanted to use various second-rate sects to accomplish things in the spiritual world. He didn't know what they were planning secretly?
"This time we must figure out Wutianmen's conspiracy no matter what."
Ye Chunyang thought in his mind and accelerated his flying speed.
The entire journey was silent.
At nightfall, a group of people, led by Yun Yue, finally landed in a valley thousands of miles away.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can see the ruins of buildings, with broken limbs everywhere, and there is still a faint smell of blood in the air. It is not difficult to imagine how tragic a battle happened here.
"This is the Valley of Spirits. This sect is part of the Demon Dao line under the Tiangong Alliance. Not long ago, it was suddenly wiped out overnight. However, we have a backup plan to prevent the shadows. You need to be careful when you enter the valley later. , to avoid accidents.”
Yun Yue looked back at everyone, and after giving some instructions, he took the lead and swept towards the valley.
The disciples from all peaks ignored him, but they all cheered up and followed him one after another.
Linyou Valley occupies a small area. After the sect was wiped out, the sect-protecting array lost its effect. Everyone entered it easily. The strange thing was that although the place was filled with traces of blood and fighting, there was no corpse. It seemed that the other party used magic afterwards. The corpses were burned and no trace was left.
After looking around, Yun Yue ordered everyone: "Let's all split up and search everywhere in the valley to see if we can find any traces left by the shadow of the devil. We will meet in the front hall in an hour."
The disciples from all peaks were convinced by this position and immediately dispersed without saying much.
Ye Chunyang, Mu Ling'er, Li Mochen and others formed a team and headed west. Fairy Yumei and her companion from Tianshu Peak moved alone, while the rest were from Yuheng Peak, Tianxuan Peak, Yaoguang Peak, and Tianshu Peak. Quan Feng and others investigated in the valley.
"Brother Ye, this place is not popular at all. It seems that it has been washed away by the shadow blood. Even some Taoist secrets, spiritual stones, pills, etc. have been looted."
After exploring the valley, Mu Ling'er shook her head and sighed: "It is said that this Linyou Valley is the most promising sect to be promoted to a second-rate power in the past hundred years. I didn't expect that the Wutian Sect could kill them all. It seems that the shadows they cultivated Organizations cannot be underestimated.”
"Yes, I once sneaked into one of their helmsmen, and among them the lowest cultivation level is a foundation-building monk. A single helmsman has such strength. If all the troops are deployed, I am afraid that there will be a gathering of experts."
Ye Chunyang looked solemn.
"It seems that this sect is indeed dead. No one survives here, and there is no trace of the shadow."
At this time, Li Mochen and Ling Xue also came back from their respective investigations, both of them shook their heads helplessly.
Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at everyone and said, "In that case, let's go to the front hall to meet everyone. I don't know if others have noticed anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead to leave the place and headed towards the front hall.
But suddenly his mind moved, his peripheral vision glanced somewhere, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. But he seemed to be thinking about something and quickly regained his composure.
As Ye Chunyang expected, when they arrived at the front hall, disciples from all peaks had gathered here, but they had sad faces and found nothing.
Yun Yue stood in front, frowning, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.
"I didn't expect that Shadow acted so recklessly and wiped out the entire Spirit Valley without leaving any clues. If we hadn't already known the other party's identity, we probably wouldn't have been able to do anything."
He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Looking at everyone's looks, you think you haven't gained anything at all?"
The disciples of each peak looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces. They thought they could find some clues about the shadow in this abandoned sect, but unexpectedly there were no traces left by the other party, which gave them a headache.
Yun Yue frowned and glanced at everyone, with a cold look in his eyes.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, his body swayed somewhere, and then without saying a word, he raised his sword in the air with his fingers.
Everyone was surprised, wondering why he was like this.
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded where the sword was pointing, and several stone pillars collapsed and a black shadow appeared from them.
This man was shrouded in black light, full of evil aura, and wore a large cloak that made it difficult to see his appearance. However, once he appeared, he actually exuded the aura of magical cultivation.
"Demon evil cultivator!"
The pupils of the disciples shrank suddenly, their spiritual power began to flow, and they summoned magic weapons and gathered them at their sides, their faces full of vigilance.
"Unexpectedly, Tianqi Sect has found some good seedlings, and the hard work of those immortals is worth it."
The black shadow looked at everyone, motionless, but let out a creepy sinister laugh.
