As soon as David’s divine sense entered the valley, he felt a dense, blood-like smell rush towards him. The smell was so dense that it almost solidified into a substance, mixing with the demonic energy to form a pale red mist that slowly flowed through the valley.
There were no ordinary trees and grass on the ground, only dark brown soil that felt soft and springy underfoot, like a sponge soaked in blood. Every once in a while, you might step on a sharp, hard object, and when you look down, you’ll see half a broken bone.
Deep in the valley, a group of buildings could be vaguely seen, all made of black stone with roofs covered in dark purple roof tiles that glistened ominously in the strong wind.
In the open space between the buildings, there were many rusty weapons and some tattered clothes that were difficult to identify.
When the wind blew, the clothes fluttered like ghosts, revealing the dark brown soil beneath. It wasn’t soil at all, but rather a thick layer of blood crust that had hardened into a hard shell.
What was most unsettling was that, apart from the sound of sand rubbing together, there was also a faint chewing sound mixed with the sound of the wind.
Occasionally, faint screams could be heard from inside the stone house, but they were then cut off by the strong wind, leaving only weak groans that disappeared in the wind.
The demonic energy here was no longer just cold and gloomy, but carried a hot and bloodthirsty feeling. Each wisp of energy was as if it had been drawn from a pool of blood, sticking to the skin and making one want to shiver.
David and Hu Mazi hid in a distant mountain basin, using rocks as shelter to observe the direction of the valley entrance.
More than ten demon cultivators, wearing black armor and holding sharp swords, scanned their surroundings vigilantly. Their aura was at least at the peak of the fourth rank of the Earth Immortal Realm, with two of them being cultivators of the fifth rank of the Earth Immortal Realm. Their auras were heavy and calm, clearly indicating that they were not easy opponents to deal with.
“Gosh, this is even more serious than we imagined.”
Hu Mazi lowered his voice and clicked his tongue, “Just the two of us, let alone going to investigate, we might be discovered as soon as we approach the valley entrance.”
David remained silent, his brows furrowed slightly, and his divine sense quietly extended into the Black Wind Valley like an invisible net.
The demonic energy in the valley was indeed very dense, but it was completely different from the cold and sinister aura of the evil cultivators in the Evil Path Hall that he remembered, who were devoted to refining souls.
The demonic energy here was more violent and bloodthirsty, carrying an underlying sense of plunder, as if it was always yearning for fresh blood.
His divine sense carefully avoided the patrolling devil cultivators, trying to probe deeper and see if there were any distinctive features of the Evil Path Temple.
