“You two fellow Daoists are indeed punctual.”
Liu Wenyuan introduced enthusiastically, “This is Fellow Daoist Kuangdao, a peak level six Immortal Lord, and the leader of our operations. This is”
He introduced all the important figures present.
David observed these people secretly. Most of them appeared to be experienced independent cultivators or members of small factions, their eyes were wary, and they kept their distance from each other.
Mad Blade certainly looked intimidating, carrying a ghost-headed dagger the size of a door panel on his back, and his gaze towards David was filled with scrutiny and disdain.
Obviously, David’s apparent cultivation level was at the first rank of the Heavenly God Realm made him seem insignificant.
“Everyone has gathered, let’s go.”
Kuangdao said harshly and led the way into the valley.
The crowd followed closely behind.
As soon as we entered the Black Wind Valley, a terrifying gust of black wind immediately assaulted our senses.
The fine sand and gravel were carried by the wind, producing rustling sounds when they hit the protective aura.
What was more worrying was that these strong winds seemed to have the effect of eroding divine sense. David discovered that his divine sense’s detection range had narrowed to less than a hundred feet.
“Everyone be careful, the strong winds in Black Wind Valley can disturb spiritual sense. Stay close and don’t get left behind.”
Liu Wenyuan reminded him, walking in the middle of the group and looking quite cautious.
The group continued deeper into the canyon. The terrain within the canyon was complex, with many branching paths, but Kuangdao seemed to be very familiar with the routes, leading everyone through the maze-like canyon, occasionally stopping to observe certain special markings on the rock walls.
David became increasingly alert.
The environment of the Black Wind Valley is very suitable for ambush. If someone set a trap here, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar.
After walking for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, a hidden cave entrance appeared ahead, half-hidden by several large black rocks.
“Here he is.”
Mad Blade pointed at the cave entrance, “According to intelligence information, there is a barrier at the entrance of this cave, which we need to break through together. Everyone, get ready.”
Everyone took out their magical treasures and gathered their immortal power.
With a low shout, Kuangdao released a fiery red light from his Ghost Head Sword, slashing towards the cave entrance first!
“explosion!”
The rocks at the entrance of the cave shattered into pieces, revealing a transparent barrier that shimmered with faint light.
The other cultivators also made their moves, and various attacks hit the barrier, creating ripples.
David did not use all his strength, but only symbolically released a few sword attacks.
He realized that Liu Wenyuan had also made a move, but he also restrained himself.
About fifteen minutes later, the barrier shattered into pieces from the group’s combined attack, revealing a dark hole.
“Come on!” Mad Blade charged in first.
Crowds of people arrived.
The cave was more expansive than I had imagined, with passages winding downwards and blurry ancient murals carved into the rock walls on both sides, depicting fire, lava, and strange creatures.
The air felt very hot, a stark contrast to the cold air of Blackwind Valley.
“The owner of this cave was probably an ancient cultivator who practiced fire-based techniques,” someone speculated.
A strange feeling emerged in David’s heart.
The fire and lava patterns on the mural reminded him of the “Fire Domain” and “Lava Chasm” that Liu Wenyuan had once mentioned.
This is too coincidental.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a huge underground cave.
In the center of the cave, there was a dark red stone platform three zhang high. On the platform was an exquisite jade box, its surface shimmering with colorful light and emitting an alluring spiritual energy.
Surrounding the stone platform, there were several skeletons and some fragments of magical artifacts that looked very old.
“Treasure!” Someone’s eyes lit up, and they were about to rush forward.
“Wait!” shouted Mad Blade, “Be careful, there are restrictions!”
But the warning came too late.
The first two people to rush out had just entered an area about ten feet away from the stone platform when suddenly countless strange blood-red patterns lit up on the ground!
“explosion!”
A dark red light curtain with a diameter of over twenty feet shot into the sky, completely enveloping the two people.
A terrifying scream sounded from the light screen. The bodies of the two people melted and evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not even their souls could escape. They were completely wiped out, body and soul!
