“If you two are interested, you may come and meet me. Additionally, to show my sincerity, I can reveal some information about Earth’s core chalcedony milk.”
“Even though the location of the Lava Chasm is hidden, there is a force called the Earth Fire Pavilion in Crimson Fire City in the Fire Domain. They have studied earth fire and earth veins for generations, and they may have more detailed clues.”
Red Flame City, Earth Fire Pavilion.
David memorized the two names by heart.
“Thank you for telling me, Steward Liu.”
David kept the jade slip. “We will give you an answer in three days.”
“We look forward to good news.” Liu Wenyuan stood up to see him off.
After leaving Tingfeng Tower and walking back to the inn, the Red Cloud Demon Lord couldn’t help asking, “David, do you think this Liu Wenyuan is trustworthy?”
“It’s hard to say.”
David pondered, “I glanced at the information about the cave that he provided, and it doesn’t seem to be fake. The clues about the Earth Fire Pavilion might indeed be valuable. But all of this is too coincidental, so coincidental that it makes me uneasy.”
“You suspect this is a trap?”
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.”
A cold glint flashed in David’s eyes. “However, we cannot give up on the clues regarding the Earth’s Core Jade Marrow Milk. We will go to Black Wind Valley in three days. But we must be fully prepared, and if anything untoward happens, we must get out of there immediately.”
Red Cloud Demon Lord nodded: “I will listen to you.”
The two returned to the inn, and David immediately began studying the jade scroll given to him by Liu Wenyuan.
The jade tablet detailed the location of the ancient cultivators’ cave abode in Black Wind Valley, the characteristics of the surrounding restrictions, and the potential dangers. It even includes a simple map.
The information is detailed and does not appear to be fabricated.
“Could it be that we are too suspicious?” Even the Red Cloud Demon Lord was somewhat shaken after reading it.
David didn’t speak, but silently memorized the contents of the jade scroll.
Whether it’s a trap or not, once you decide to leave, you have to be prepared for the worst.
He took out a pile of materials and started arranging the arrangement in the room.
Concealment formations, early warning formations, simple teleportation bases various formations stacked on top of each other. Although their power is not very great due to material and environmental limitations, they may play an unexpected role at critical moments.
The Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord also did not remain idle, carefully checking his magic treasures and pills to adjust his condition to the best state.
The little fire unicorn seemed to feel the tense atmosphere and quietly lay at David’s feet, golden flames slowly flowing on its body.
Time passed quietly during the preparations.
Unbeknownst to David, while they were making preparations, deep underground in Shayan City, in a hidden room, Liu Wenyuan stood respectfully before an old man in a black robe.
“Elder Poison Heart, the fish has taken the bait.”
Liu Wenyuan bowed and said, “They received the jade scroll and will go to Black Wind Valley in three days.”
The black-robed old man was none other than the Poison Heart Elder, one of the seventy-two Earth Demon Elders of the Evil Path Hall.
He completely concealed his aura, looking like an ordinary, sinister old man, but the occasional flash of green in his triangular eyes sent shivers down his spine.
“Very good.”
Poison Heart Elder’s voice was hoarse, “Is everything arranged in Black Wind Valley?”
“Everything is ready.”
Liu Wenyuan said, “The’Blood Transformation and Soul Refining’ array has been installed. As long as they step into the core area, the array will activate, which is enough to trap and eliminate cultivators below the eighth rank of the Heavenly God Realm.”
“In addition, the three ‘Ghost Envoys’ are already in place and ready to move at any time.”
Ghost Emissaries were elite assassins trained by the Evil Path Hall, specializing in assassination missions. They worked in groups of three, were skilled in combined attacks, and all had strength above the seventh rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
“not enough.”
Poison Heart Elder shook his head. “The Palace Master specifically instructed that this boy is not an ordinary person and must be killed with swift and decisive action. He must not be given the opportunity to turn the tide.”
“Notify the three Ghost Envoys to immediately activate the ‘Three Underworlds Killing Formation’ and ensure a fatal blow!”
Liu Wenyuan was shocked.
The Three Underworlds Killing Formation was a forbidden killing formation that required the burning of essence blood to activate. Its power was enough to threaten even a cultivator at the peak of the ninth rank of the Heavenly God Realm!
Is it necessary to use such a method to deal with a junior at the first level of the Immortal Lord Realm?
