Chapter 855: The Elixir Valley
The five of them entered the forest, and Yun Chujiu released those demonic beasts at several places.
Regardless of whether it was a high-level or low-level demonic beast, they all bowed to Yun Chujiu and the others a few times before going their own way.
Yun Chujiu sighed. Although humans and demonic beasts were sometimes natural enemies, what the G.o.dly Devil Hall did was going too far.
After the five of them released the last of the beasts, they returned to the Spirit Radiance Sect.
The moment they entered the Spirit Radiance Sect, Yun Chujiu felt that something was wrong. Usually, when they entered the Spirit Radiance Sect, they would see many disciples along the way. Why was it that when they returned this time, they only saw a few outer sect and odd-job disciples?
After seeing Master Xuanyuan, Yun Chujiu received a shocking piece of news.
Before she received the news from Yun Chujiu, a major event had happened in the Azure Mystic Continent.
The Elixir Valley, which opened once every thousand years, had opened as scheduled!
Although while in the ancient sword tomb they had suspected that someone was pulling the strings, there was no concrete evidence. Moreover, the Elixir Valley was about to be opened. Many ancient spirit herbs lost in history could be found there so going there was worth the risk.
Therefore, the four great sects and forces had sent their disciples to the valley.
The Elixir Valley was divided into two parts, the East Valley and the West Valley. The East Valley had high-level spirit herbs, so only cultivators at the level of spirit emperor were allowed access, whereas the West Valley had lower-level spirit herbs so only cultivators at the level of spirit cultivator were allowed in there.
However, even the spirit herbs in the west valley were very precious to the current Azure Mystic Continent. Therefore, the inner disciples and half of the elders of the Spirit Radiance Sect rushed to the Elixir Valley to try and obtain as many of them as possible.
After a month, the various major powers discovered that something was wrong. Normally, the people inside should have been ejected after a month had pa.s.sed, yet nothing had happened.
What was even stranger still was that the spiritual medicine valley was still open. This meant that they could still enter the valley as they pleased.
The people waiting outside could only send more people in to investigate the situation. Unexpectedly, those people did not come out. After two months had pa.s.sed, the spiritual medicine valley had still not closed. No one had been ejected either so something must have happened to those still inside.
The sect leaders of the four great sects recalled the incident in the ancient sword tomb. They could confirm that this was the work of the G.o.dly Devil Hall.
However, even with that knowledge, they were powerless to do anything. The people who had entered had not returned. The only good news was that some people had left their life tokens outside, which showed that they were still alive. They should only be trapped inside.
After Yun Chujiu found out that the Yun siblings, Feng Ming, and the others were also trapped inside, her head buzzed. No wonder her grandfather had been restless recently. It turned out that it was not him who was going to have an accident, but Fifth Sister and the others.
Yun Chujiu was originally hesitant about whether she should enter the Elixir Valley to save them, but now she had to go!
“Sect Master, I’m rus.h.i.+ng to the Elixir Valley. If anything happens to me, I’ll leave the Yun family and my grandfather to you. Please take care of them.”
“Little Jiu, Sigh! It’s better if you stay! I’m afraid you’ll be in deep trouble if you go there now! The four sect masters had once argued over whether to send more people to investigate what was happening. But now we can tell a storm is coming for the entire Azure Mystic Continent, we still have to conserve our strength! Otherwise, if a war starts in the future, we won’t even have anyone to fight in it.” Master Xuanyuan had been mentally and physically exhausted the entire time, his face had also aged considerably..
