Chapter 1041:- Joking With Her

Liang Wu Ming was resting inside his room when he felt Sima You Yue enter his courtyard.

"Come in." Liang Wu Ming waved and the door to his room opened.

Sima You Yue entered. She observed Liang Wu Ming who sat at the head seat and several hall leaders who sat below him.

"Valley Master, Hall Leaders." Sima You Yue paid her respects to Liang Wu Ming and the hall leaders.

Although she had the title of Young Valley Master and her position wasn't low, she still had respect for the elders in heart.

The hall leaders saw Sima You Yue's modest behavior and that she didn't put on airs of a gifted youth. They gave her a lot of points mentally.

"You Yue, we're discussing about you. You can sit down and listen." Liang Wu Ming said.

"About me?" Sima You Yue puzzledly sat at the spot where Liang Wu Ming pointed. She curiously peered at everyone.

"Do you know when you were storming through the pass, all the valley's disciples were watching?" Liang Wu Ming asked.

"All watching?" Sima You Yue looked at him in surprise. What did he mean by that?

"All the valley's disciples participated in the betting game. So we use a method to record the scene where you storm the pass. Everyone was watching it at the square." Liang Wu Ming continued, "Afterwards..."

"Afterwards and what?" Sima You Yue pursued.

"Afterwards, Elder Xiao and Elder Tang started arguing, wanting you to join their subsidiary hall." Liang Wu Ming replied.

Sima You Yue opened her eyes wide. This happened?

Liang Wu Ming watched her expression. "It's not just this."

"There's more?" Sima You Yue was shocked.

"Because of your rock gambling in Cloud Sea City, they knew about how you were looking for a Seeker Spirit Master." Liang Wu Ming said. "Therefore, Elder Du wanted you to go over to his place."

Sima You Yue glanced at Du Yang Hui. He smiled and nodded at her.

"And..."

"And?" Sima You Yue raised her head at Liang Wu Ming.

"Everyone knows that you're a Beast Tamer Master, so.."

"Are you willing to join Beast Tamer Hall?" Yu Shi Bo asked joyfully.

"In addition, we learn you are a Medicine Master from the sect, so..."

Sima You Yue felt a headache and pursed her lips. "Are there any more?"

"Poison Master Hall would also like to invite you because he heard your poison skills are quite good." Liang Wu Ming continued.

"That's right, Young Valley Master. Do you want to come to my Poison Master Hall?" Dou Bai grinned at her.

"Ehhh..."

Sima You Yue hesitated. How come they knew about these identities of hers?

"Isn't it very perplexing?" Liang Wu Ming asked. "Besides Armament Hall, the other hall leaders want to invite you."

Sima You Yue rubbed her forehead. It really was perplexing.

She just came to the valley. It was not good to offend anyone.

"Eh, that, I should listen to my master. Although my master is not here, uhh, I think I do not need to select which subsidiary hall to go into, right?"

When she finished, she looked at Ying Bai Chuan. This guy didn't warn her that this would happen.

Ying Bai Chuan returned her a steady gaze and didn't say anything.

Sima You Yue blinked her eyes, not understanding his meaning.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to any of them?" Liang Wu Ming asked again.

Sima You Yue looked around and certainly nodded her head. "I will wait until master comes back to decide on this matter."

"Hehheh, didn't I say he won't make a selection?" Liang Wu Ming swept his gaze around. His laughter was a bit flat.

"It seems we can only implement our previous agreement" Elder Xiao said.

"What agreement?" Sima You Yue was confused.

"We were talking about you definitely wouldn't pick any subsidiary hall." Ying Bai Chuan replied.

"Then will you keep asking me?"

"We were seeing if you were willing to join." Liang Wu Ming said. "Now we are certain of what you're thinking of."

"So?"

"So everyone is happy." Liang Wu Ming spoke. "As a secret Young Valley Master, you don't need to join any subsidiary hall. But you can learn from any subsidiary hall."

"Really?" Sima You Yue didn't expect such a fast turn around.

"Really." Liang Wu Ming affirmed. "Since you just came to the valley, and although Ying Bai Chuan told you some things about the valley, you are still not familiar here. In the days to come, you should become familiar with the things in the valley, and follow Bai Chuan to track the assessment in the valley. When you are familiar with here, you can follow each hall to learn from them."

"Really?"

"Of course." Liang Wu Ming replied. "Your master is not at the valley so is your senior brother, so we as your elders will arrange things for you."

"Thank you, martial uncle." Sima You Yue gratefully thanked Liang Wu Ming.

"Therefore, Young Valley Master, after the assessment, you must come to the Alchemy Hall often. In the past, your master often stayed at the Alchemy Hall." Elder Xiao said.

"I will." Sima You Yue smiled and nodded.

"You must often also come to the Array Hall. Your array mastery is unparalleled. I believe you'll become the best array master here." Xie Zi Ming said.

"Thank you for hall leader's compliment." Sima You Yue nodded at her. "I will continue to work hard."

"Don't forget to come to my place." Dou Bai added. "You will discover that we are better than your sect."

"I'm looking forward to it." Sima You Yue replied.

Old Man Devil and Wu Lingyu both had said that Divine Devil Valley was the most appropriate place for her to learn from. If it wasn't that she happened to come to the outer regions and happened to encounter Heavenly Sect, she might have directly come here to learn.

"Bai Chuan, in the coming days, you'll be guiding him." Liang Wu Ming said.

"Yes, Master. I will guide junior brother to quickly become familiar with this place." Ying Bai Chuan replied.

"There is a few more days before the assessment. You guys go back and have your disciples prepared for it." Liang Wu Ming said. "Alright, you can leave and go back to work."

"Young Valley Master, don't forget to come to my place." Xiao Jing Zhong looked back at Sima You Yue to confirm again before leaving."

"I will." Sima You Yue smiled at him and then he finally left.

After they left, the only other people in the room were Liang Wu Ming and Bai Ying Chuan. Sima You Yue finally felt relief.

"Senior Brother Ying, you should have told me earlier." Sima You Yue turned to Ying Bai Chuan. She was somewhat speechless.

"Masters didn't let me say." Ying Bai Chuan helplessly shrugged. "Let's go, I will take you to tour the Divine Devil Valley."

Sima You Yue looked at Liang Wu Ming. Seeing his nonreply, she followed Ying Bai Chuan out. After meeting up with Little Seven, they went to tour the well-acclaimed Divine Devil Valley.

Chapter 1042:- Blood Ring's Status

Divine Devil Valley was very big, bigger than she thought, it takes at least a few days to walk one round.

Ying Bai Chuan took her to all the different halls, once they heard about it, they were all excited, they disregarded Ying Bai Chuan's indifference and gathered in groups of three and fours to get a peek of Sima You Yue.

They were all professionals, although they were arrogant high up above at times, in front of people with power, they sincerely admired them. Such talented like Sima You Yue, they admired her from the bottom of their hearts.

Sima You Yue met someone familiar in Alchemy Hall, it reminded her of her family in Restless Continent.

"Yun Yi has met Young Valley Master." Yun Yi bowed in greeting to Sima You Yue, they hadn't met in over a decade but he was still the same, hadn't changed at all.

"Yun Yi, you're here too." Sima You Yue walked towards him happily seeing him.

"Yun Yi is Alchemy Hall Elder's disciple." Ying Bai Chuan said.

"Yun Yi, have you visited the Restless Continent in the past years?" Sima You Yue questioned.

"I visited once, two years back." Yun Yi replied, "Your clan members are doing well, they have already settled down in Restless Continent, you don't have to worry about them."

"That's great." Sima You Yue felt relieved, it wasn't that she never thought of getting her clan to come up here, but it was because their strengths were limited, although they relied on the past powers, if they came up here, they would be pressured and weak.

After careful consideration, she felt that it would be better for them to live in the continent below, if someone's power increased and came to this continent, then she would help them.

"I visited them before I came here, they were still asking about you." Yun Yi pointed to the pavilion in the courtyard, they chatted while they walked towards the pavilion. "Lucky for me that your news would be spreaded in the valley from time to time, if not, I don't know how to answer their questions"

"Thank you, Yun Yi." Sima You Yue said in gratitude.

"You're welcome, Young Valley Master, this is my job. I didn't do much anyway, I only told them some of your stories." Yun Yi smiled.

"Are You Qing and the rest doing well?" Sima You Yue asked.

"They are fine, they said they miss you." Yun Yi continued, "Their strength has been increasing quite fast for the past few years, I'm guessing there will be people coming up here in the next few years."

"Really?!" Sima You Yue was elated for them, their future would be better if they could come up here.

"Their skills are good." Yun Yi said.

"I know." Sima You Yue nodded, she gave them Hundred Revolution Pills which changed their skills, it was expected that they would be stronger than any others.

"Let me know when you're going back to the next time." Sima You Yue said.

"Do you need me to help you with something?" Yun Yi asked.

"Mm, if you are going down again, help me bring some stuff and words down." Sima You Yue replied.

"Okay."

Sima You Yue and Yun Yi didn't chat much as she needed to visit other halls, so they bid farewell.

In one day, Sima You Yue and the other two didn't really visit many halls because Ying Bai Chuan had to settle some stuff for the evaluation so they had to push back the visitings of other halls.

Ying Bai Chuan was already helping Liang Wu Ming with the valley's affair, it wasn't the first time they held the evaluation, from the past experience, it wouldn't be difficult to settle it, just that some of the trivial things had to be handled.

Sima You Yue followed Ying Bai Chuan, she casually gave some suggestions when he was handling some of the things, that suggestion made Ying Bai Chuan and everybody involved in the evaluation brightened their eyes.

After those managers left, Ying Bai Chuan looked at Sima You Yue, laughed and shook his head, "I have to let Master know that you're strong and capable in management. Valley's affair should be managed by you."

"I don't like to do those things." Sima You Yue continued, "Did Senior Brother Ying just sell me out?"

Ying Bai Chuan stared at Sima You Yue and said, "If I really tell him that, you would have already run away."

Sima You Yue laughed, "Senior Brother, you know me well."

If Liang Wu Ming really let her handle Valley's affair, she might really leave.

She didn't like to manage this kind of thing, although it made people feel that they had more rights, she just didn't like it.

If she had that kind of energy, she might as well go back and manage her own clan.

"But you are the Young Valley Master, sooner or later, you'll have to manage Valley's affair with me." Ying Bai Chuan continued, "Are you intending to let me bear all the responsibilities by myself?"

"Senior Brother, what's your keepsake?" Sima You Yue didn't reply to him and asked him a question instead.

Ying Bai Chuan showed her the White jade thumb ring in his hand.

"It looks the same as my thumb ring, just that the colour is different." Sima You Yue said while looking at his ring and compared it with hers.

"No, mine is different from yours." Ying Bai Chuan continued, "My jade thumb ring is not as... erm... evil."

"Evil?" Sima You Yue lifted her left hand and stared at the Blood thumb Ring, that blood red indeed made people feel a little evil. "How is this evil?"

"I heard from Master that the people that Blood Ring chose from the past went overboard." Ying Bai Chuan continued, "But when I look at you, you don't look like someone who will go overboard."

"Went overboard? How?" Sima You Yue felt fearful, she remembered that time when Blood thumb ring chose her, she had a hallucination, a beauty and a human skeleton.

"Those people always said there will be hallucination to the extent that sometimes they don't know how to differentiate whether it's hallucination or reality and become crazy." Ying Bai Chuan said.

"So terrible?!" Little Seven softly called out, "Yue Yue, don't tell me that you've also become like that?"

"I don't feel anything. Do you feel that I'm abnormal at times?" Sima You Yue asked.

Little Seven gave it a serious thought and said, "Not for now."

"Junior Brother is mentally strong, you won't be so easy to be controlled." Ying Bai Chuan said, "With that, those who have the Blood thumb Ring will be the true Young Valley Master of Divine Devil Valley, which is also the future Valley Master."

"The Blood Ring's status is that high?"

"Yes, rumour has it that the Blood Ring has a secret connected to Divine Devil Valley, but throughout many years, nobody is truly acknowledged by Blood thumb ring as nobody can control it, that's why for so many years, nobody ever knew what is the secret of the Blood thumb Ring." Ying Bai Chuan continued, "Maybe, you can uncover this secret."

"Err... Senior Brother Ying, when you put it this way, it makes me feel pressured!" Sima You Yue said embarrassingly.

She looked at the Blood thumb ring on her hand, it felt like the blood red colour had come to life, it emitted a faint smell as if it was going to swallow her.

Chapter 1043:- The Rebirth Of Mishap

"Yue Yue? Yue Yue?"

In a daze, Sima You Yue felt someone pulling her hand. Little Seven's anxious voice made her sober.

She lowered her head and saw Little Seven's worried face.

"What happened?"

Little Seven noticed Sima You Yue was awake. She let out a long breath. "It's good that you came back to your senses. Just now, you were staring at the Blood Ring and pointed at it. The very next moment, you went in a daze. You wouldn't snap out of it no matter how I called."

"I went into a daze?" Sima You Yue said in surprise.

"Yes." Ying Bai Chuan replied. "You had an out of body sensation. You didn't respond when I called you a few times. What happened to you?"

"I..." Sima You Yue frowned, "I just seemed to have lost my mind."

"Have you ever had this situation before?" Ying Bai Chuan asked with a bit of worry.

Sima You Yue shook her head. "Never before. When it first recognized me as its owner, I saw a different scene. Unlike this time, I saw nothing."

"Maybe you had loss control in an instant because I told you the Blood Ring is evil and you were curious." Ying Bai Chuan reasoned. "Your divine sense is so strong. You probably won't lose control."

"Perhaps." Sima You Yue shrugged. She didn't take this episode to heart.

Following Ying Bai Chuan for a few days. Sima You Yue was roughly clear on the structure of the Divine Devil Valley.

The entire Divine Devil Valley is divided into outer disciples and inner disciples. Most of the inner disciples of the valley were professionals - Alchemists, Armament Masters, Array Masters, Beast Tamer Master, and etc. A small portion of them were extremely talented Seeker Spirit Masters. The outer disciples were like Feng Dong who took the responsibility of guarding the safety of Divine Devil Valley.

In addition to the Divine Devil Valley, there were some branches and shops distributed in various places. There were numerous disciples that had low status in the Divine Devil Valley which they regarded as outer disciples.

After a few days of preparation, the day of assessment finally approached. Those disciples who performed tasks outside returned to the inner valley one after another.

In the past two days, Ying Bai Chuan was getting busier and busier. In order to not disturb him, Sima You Yue stayed in the Old Man Devil's courtyard.

"Yue Yue, Yue Yue!" Little Seven ran in from outside.

Sima You Yue watched as Little Seven sped through. She raised her head to ask, "What's the matter, running so anxiously."

"It's Brother Yun Yi. Something happened to him." Little Seven spoke.

"What happened to Yun Yi?" Sima You Yue put the book down and stood up quickly.

She hadn't been out in the courtyard for the past two days. Little Seven had run off to play by herself and soon got acquainted with the valley's disciples.

"Brother Yun Yi got hurt, it seems to be quite serious. Do you want to go and see?" Little Seven said.

"Why is Yun Yi hurt?" Sima You Yue put the book away and followed Little Seven to the Alchemy Hall.

"I don't know. I was playing with them when I saw two people carrying brother Yun Yi in." Little Seven explained. "He was bleeding a lot and his clothes were dyed red."

"The assessment is about to start soon. How could he be injured at this time?" Sima You Yue was confused but she hurried over.

"Young Valley Master." When the people of the Alchemy Hall saw Sima You Yue, they made way for her to enter.

Sima You Yue entered the room and observed Yun Yi who was pale and dying, lying on the bed.

Xiao Jing Zhong and He Wen along with Yun Yi's master were around the bed. Ying Bai Chuan stood at the side. When he noticed Sima You Yue entered, he spoke, "Why are you here?"

"Little Seven said that Yun Yi was injured, so I came to see." Sima You Yue glanced at Yun Yi, who appeared to be in a serious condition. "There's two more days until the assessment, how did he get injured?"

"It's the doing of Cloud Cave!" Yun Yi's senior brother, Xiang Kai, clenched his fists. "I went outside the valley with Yun Yi. I didn't expect to meet people from Cloud Cave on the way back. They saw that our numbers were few, so they wanted to kill us. In the end, it was Yun Yi who forced the way out for us. But he..."

Xiang Kai's eyes reddened.

"Cloud Cave?" Sima You Yue frowned. "Are the people we killed at the Little Realm of Wen Hai from Cloud Cave?"

"Yes, it was them." Xiang Kai replied. "We killed them all at that time. Although there was no direct evidence that we did it. Cloud Cave has been troubling us all these years."

"The Cloud Cave dared to go outside of the Divine Devil Valley to kill our disciples? Where are they?" The anger in Sima You Yue's heart rose. This was on the door of provocation!

"Some were killed by us, some were killed by the outer disciples of the valley who came to support us." Xiang Kai said. "They killed our people, how can we let them go!"

"Cloud Cave knows that our assessment is imminent, and many disciples will come back from outside." Ying Bai Chuan said. "Today they attacked our disciples. I don't think it is accidental."

"Young Valley Master, you mean they deliberately ambushed us, looking for an opportunity to kill our inner disciples?" An elder in the Alchemy Hall said.

"I think it's very likely." Ying Bai Chuan affirmed. "We have been informed that people from Cloud Cave are around. But we were busy with the assessment, so we didn't pay attention to them. We just sent someone to investigate. Now think about it. They must have ulterior motives when they appear at this time."

"Hall Master He, Hall Master He, the Valley Master wants you to go to the Armament Hall." A disciple ran in from outside shouting to He Wen.

"What's the matter with Armament Hall?" He Wen who had just controlled Yun Yi injuries got up and asked.

"Several disciples of Armament Hall are injured. Their injuries are quite serious. The Valley Master wants you to come over and check." That disciple answered.

"Yun Yi's situation has been controlled. I'll hand the rest to you guys. I'll go see the other side's situation." He Wen told Xiao Jing Zhong.

"Okay."

"Hall Master He, I will go with you." Sima You Yue offered.

She was also a doctor and was able to deal with their injuries.

He Wen knew Sima You Yue's medical skills were good, so he nodded. "Then I would like to take up Young Valley Master's offer."

When Sima You Yue and He Wen arrived at the Armament Hall, they discovered that the situation here was far more serious than Yun Yi's said. Not to the mention of the death of several disciples, some were poisoned, and others were injured. Their lives were at stake.

"Old Bai, you're also here." He Wen glanced at Dou Bai, surprised.

"The poison on them is weird. These disciples can't help it. I had to come see it myself." Dou Bai said. "Those injured are quite serious. Your disciples are treating them, but I don't think the effect is very good."

Sima You Yue followed Dou Bai's line of sight. She observed several people lying on stretchers with their hands and feet wasted. It could be said that their life was already over.

Chapter 1044:- Assessment Postponed

"Master, Master, am I not going to be able to refine armaments ever again?!" A female disciple cried out with distraught. The moment she woke up and saw her crippled left arm, she cried out and choked with tears.

"An An, don't be scared, it's still unclear now, don't worry, the valley will heal you." Someone comforted her.

"Master, my arm!" An An's cries woke up another unconscious disciple, he cried too when he woke up.

"ah-- my...."

"Oh.... how did this...."

One after another, their cries made the whole courtyard chaotic, everyone was in shock at their own condition.

"Alright now, Elder Xiao, you guys go and treat them so that they will quieten down. I'll go check on those that got poisoned." Dou Bai got a headache from those people crying.

Sima You Yue followed Xiao Jing Zhong and took a look at the injured ones who had already taken healing pills but because the injuries were so bad, their conditions were the most critical.

The disciples from the physician hall bandaged up their wounds, those that had already done binding up would stand aside when they saw Xiao Jing Zhong walk over.

"How is their condition?" Few of the elders from Armament Hall rushed over and were enraged seeing their disciples being injured like this.

"Who did this?!"

"Elder, it's the members from Cloud Cave."

"Yes, the one that ambushed us is from Cloud Cave!"

"The one that ambushed us weren't from Cloud Cave, the ones that ambushed us were from other clans."

"The ones that ambushed you guys aren't from Cloud Cave? Then which clan are they from?"

"The one that ambushed us were... members of Kong Valley."

"Kong Valley? are you sure?" Sima You Yue asked.

"I'm certain, those that tried to kill us were wearing Kong Valley's clothes." That person recalled and said firmly.

"Wearing Kong Valley's clothes doesn't mean they are members of Kong Valley." Sima You Yue continued, "I believe members of Kong Valley wouldn't attack us."

"Why?"

"Young Valley Master, why are you so certain?"

"I know Kong Xiang Yi and have talked to Kong Valley's members before, they won't attack Divine Devil Valley's members." Sima You Yue said with certainty.

"Wearing Kong Valley's clothes doesn't mean they are from Kong Valley." Xiao Jing Zhong continued, "You guys recuperate first, leave this to us to investigate."

Xiao Jing Zhong stayed because their condition was critical, Sima You Yue and Little Seven exited.

"Yue Yue, do you believe that Kong Valley's members are the ones that attack Divine Devil Valley?" Little Seven asked as she saw Sima You Yue in deep thoughts.

"I believe they are not from Kong valley." Sima You Yue continued, "Xiang Yi knows that I'm Divine Devil Valley's Young Valley Master, she knows about our connection, they wouldn't surprise attack Divine Devil Valley out of nowhere."

"What if they were forced into coercion?" Little Seven asked.

"You're talking about people from inner regions?" Sima You Yue asked in reply.

"It's possible!" Little Seven continued, "Didn't that happen when the inner regions stirred problems in Cloud Sea City? If Kong Valley's members were controlled by them, then wouldn't it be possible?"

"That's true." Sima You Yue continued, "Wasn't Xiang Yi in Heartbreak Valley previously? I'll ask Feng'er about the situation there."

"mm."

When Sima You Yue returned to the yard, she took out a son-mother stone, inserted spiritual energy in it and waited for response from the other side.

It was different from the common son-mother stone, this son-mother stone was only the size of an egg, round and transparent, it was a son-mother stone that could be used to contact in far range.

"Big Sister, what happened? why did you contact me out of the blue?" Ximen Feng's voice came out from son-mother stone.

"Feng'er, is Xiang Yi still in Heartbreak Valley?" Sima You Yue asked directly.

"No, she went back two days ago, she said something happened in Kong Valley." Ximen Feng continued, "Did something happen?"

"Mm, there is something I need to tell you..."

Sima You Yue told him about the attacks that happened to the disciples in Divine Devil Valley.

"Kong Valley's members wouldn't get involved in this." Ximen Feng said certainly after hearing the story.

"I thought so too." Sima You Yue said, "But like you said, Xiang Yi said something happened in Kong Valley."

"What is the situation at your side now?" Ximen Feng asked.

"It's a little complicated, a few more days to evaluation, the disciples are coming back one after another, Senior Brother Ying sent people from outside to attend to them, hopefully nothing happens." Sima You Yue continued, "Help me to check what happened in Kong Valley."

"Okay."

"Yue Yue, I think someone was sent in just now." Little Seven said.

Sima You Yue looked towards the direction Little Seven pointed and saw some of the injured ones being transported in.

"Feng'er, I'll go take a look, contact me if there's any news."

"Okay."

"Let's go there and take a look."

Sima You Yue kept the son-mother stone and rushed towards that direction with Little Seven.

Just as expected, those are the disciples that were coming back, they were almost killed on the way back, luckily they met reinforcement disciples, their condition wasn't as bad.

Sima You Yue took a glance at the situation there and left, she couldn't do anything even if she was there.

"Yue Yue, just now they said that the ones that ambushed them were from another clan." Little Seven said.

"Mm, I heard." Sima You Yue continued, "It's getting more complicated. If those people weren't there to put up an act, that means someone is targeting Divine Devil Valley."

"But who can it be?" Little Seven imitated Sima You Yue by putting her left hand under her chin, looking as if she was in deep thoughts.

When Sima You Tue came back to sense, she was amused by her looks, snorted with laughter, she used her hand and rubbed her head and said, "We don't understand all these things, there is no point thinking about it here. Let's just see how martial uncle will handle this."

Some of the disciples that were attacked appeared again two days later, fortunately the valley had already sent out people to fetch them so the situation wasn't as bad.

But the originally planned schedule for evaluation would be pushed back indefinitely, according to Liang Wu Ming, the situation hasn't stabilized and the evaluation would resume after everything is settled down.

The entire valley was busy handling injured disciples, Sima You Yue also followed up with quite a lot of information, but after knowing more, she felt that it was getting strange.

All the Hall Leaders had a meeting, she sat aside quietly, after hearing from the information in-charge from every hall, she slightly creased her eyebrows but listened quietly without saying anything.

Liang Wu Ming noticed her facial expressions and asked when nobody was talking, "You Yue, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Sima You Yue didn't expect him to call her and told them her thoughts.

"Valley Master, I feel there's something wrong about this."

"Oh? what's wrong with it?" Liang Wu Ming questioned.

.

Chapter 1045:- Traitor

Sima You Yue reasoned her own thoughts and said, "I've learnt some things in the Valley for the past two days, for now, although we had some conflicts with Cloud Cave in the past, but things like that had never happened before."

Liang Wu Ming nodded, "Indeed."

"Since it's like this, then why are there so many forces attacking us?" Sima You Yue continued, "Furthermore, we didn't make any movements at all, it doesn't make sense."

"It's indeed abrupt." Dou Bai continued, "But they might take action in the dark."

"If they sent so many people around Divine Devil Valley, we will be able to notice it." Ying Bai Chuan continued, "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless they had intels from members of Divine Devil Valley." Sima You Yue continued, "Only this way, they can catch us unprepared."

"You're saying there's a spy in the Valley?" Xiao Jing Zhong called out, "Don't let me catch who it is, otherwise I will definitely..."

"Elder Xiao, don't get worked up, we're not sure yet."

"This matter needs to be checked by somebody." Liang Wu Ming continued, "If somebody really betrays us, we must make a thorough investigation. Also, those injured disciples need to be healed as soon as possible, those that have yet to come back, ask them not to come back for the time being."

"Yes, Valley Master."

"Other than that, do you guys have anything else to say?"

"Yes....."

....

After the meeting, Sima You Yue was asked to stay.

"You Yue, the Valley is currently busy, I have a mission for you." Liang Wu Ming said.

"What is it?" Sima You Yue blinked.

"Since you're the one who suggested that there is a spy, I need you to investigate this." Liang Wu Ming said.

"You need me to investigate?" Sima You Yue pointed to herself, "There are so many people in the Valley, I don't even know most of them, if you ask me to investigate, isn't it the same as finding a needle in the haystack?"

"Yes." Liang Wu Ming nodded.

"....."

Then, why asked her to investigate?

"Don't be alarmed, I ask you to investigate so that I can confuse other people. The real investigator will be someone else." Liang Wu Ming said.

"Valley Master, are you suspecting anybody?" Sima You Yue asked.

"To be honest, no." Liang Wu Ming continued, "But if he can do that, means that his status in the Valley is up there."

"So you ask me to investigate for show and that person will think that I'm harmless to him, so he can relax his vigilance." Sima You Yue continued, "This idea is good. But...."

"But what?" Liang Wu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"I've got a better idea." Sima You Yue said.

"What idea?" Liang Wu Ming questioned.

"The most traditional but also the most effective way." Sima You Yue continued, "Monitor everyone in the Valley."

"Monitor everyone?" There are so many people in Divine Devil Valley, it's not easy to monitor everyone. Also, it will inadvertently alert the spy." Liang Wu Ming said.

"How many people know about Master bringing back scarlet bees?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Scarlet bees? There shouldn't be many people who know about this." Liang Wu Ming continued, "Your master treasured it a lot when he brought it back, although everyone knows that he has scarlet bees, but not many have really seen it. Are you intending to use scarlet bees to monitor those people?"

"Yes." Sima You Yue continued, "Scarlet bees' ability to scout for information is strong."

"That works too." Liang Wu Ming continued, "Let me know if you have any news."

"I will."

"If you need help, get Bai Chuan to help you."

"Got it."

Sima You Yue left the meeting room. Little Seven was heading out from the other side of the courtyard.

"Yue Yue, are you done with the meeting?" Little Seven ran over and asked.

"Mm, let's go, I need your help."

"Need my help?" Little Seven got excited, "What is it?"

"You'll know soon...."

Sima You Yue brought Little Seven to another side of the mountain top, just as she thought, Little Seven had a strong ability to interact with plants.

"Yue Yue, you asked me to help by interacting with these plants?" Little Seven questioned.

"Not only that, I need you to cover the bees." Sima You Yue continued. "The smell of plants and bees correspond to each other, with that, even people with high powers wouldn't find out easily."

"Oh." Little Seven nodded, "No problem, leave this to me."

"Then I'll release the bees."

Sima You Yue then released ten thousands of bees and let them fly all into every parts of Divine Devil Valley, many of the scarlet bees hid under the tree leaves, with the plant's smell as cover, it would be hard to find without looking at it carefully.

This was her first time releasing so many scarlets bees to search for information, moreover it was in such a crowded place, without Little Seven's coverage, it would be easy for those high powers to find out.

After all this fixed up, they both then went back to the courtyard.

The days after were waiting days, the wounded were waiting to recover, Divine Devil Valley was waiting for news, Sima You Yue was waiting for the spy to take action. But there weren't any more injured and there wasn't anyone who communicated with outside, this matter seemed like it faded away.

But she didn't think it would end that easily.

That night, Sima You Yue was reading a book under the lights and her brain suddenly received news from the scarlet bees and Little Seven also jumped up from bed at the same moment.

"Yue Yue, there's something." Little Seven said.

"There's finally something after waiting for so long." Sima You Yue kept the book, "Contact Martial Uncle and Senior Brother first, then we'll go and see who's the traitor."

"Yes!"

In the dark night, a black shadow speedily passed through the Valley to a mountain peak. There was someone waiting for him there.

"Elder Seventeen, you make me wait long enough." A soft voice rang in the dark that gave people goosebump.

"Why are you here?" Elder Seventeen lowered his face, "People in the Valley are already suspecting that someone is betraying Divine Devil Valley and they are investigating, I will be exposed if you come and look for me now."

"I know, but you haven't been giving me intels, I can't help it." That person said.

"There's nothing new that I can give you. They are taking precautionary measures right now and it's not easy to stir some stuff." Elder Seventeen said.

"Really, but we've gotten another information, that you guys have already fetched all the disciples from outside, why didn't you inform us on such important information?"

"What?" Elder Seventeen was astonished. "It's impossible, I'm in charge of contacting those disciples, I did not send out an order for them to come back, how did it....."

"You really didn't know?"

"Nothing but facts. Why would I dare to hide it from you."

"Your family is in our hands, I bet you wouldn't dare to defy Your Majesty's order. Since it has come to this, then there's only one reason."

"What reason?" Elder Seventeen saw him staring and felt an ominous premonition.

Chapter 1046:- Obtained Information

"pop--"

"ah--"

Elder Seventeen lowered his head in disbelief, he stared at the arm that went right through his chest.

"Wh, why?" after he finished one sentence, his blood poured out, a trace of blood dripped from his mouth.

"If they let you go and fetch all the disciples, that can only mean that you've been exposed." That person drew back his own arm and took out his heart at the same time.

"poof--"

Fresh blood flew out from the big hole from his chest and splashed all over the floor.

"I... I..." Elder Seventeen knelt down on one knee, opened his mouth but nothing came out, his body turned and fell onto the ground and died just like that.

"Useless, there's no point keeping your family anyway." That person took out a handkerchief and cleaned the fresh blood on his hands then congealed a flame to burn the handkerchief, he sighed faintly and disappeared.

When Sima You Yue and the rest rushed there, only Elder Seventeen's corpse was left.

With one look, they could confirm that Elder Seventeen was dead.

"We came a step late." Ying Bai Chuan said unwillingly.

"You Yue, did scarlet bees hear any information?" Liang Wu Ming questioned.

Sima You Yue shook her head, "They didn't say anything useful, I'll check and tell you guys about their conversation."

She walked over to Elder Seventeen's body and felt that his body still had some warmth and used her divine knowledge to investigate into his body.

"What is he doing?" Xiao Jing Zhong asked.

"Checking on Seventeen's memory." Liang Wu Ming said.

"That works? But didn't Elder Seventeen already die?"

"Should be able to." Ying Bai Chuan continued, "Not sure if we can find any information."

Everyone watched Sima You Yue, after she was done with checking and they knew the result just by seeing her facial expression.

"You didn't get any useful information, right?" Xiao Jing Zhong asked.

"Mm." Sima You Yue nodded, "The other party is very cautious, he didn't leave any information, even Elder Seventeen didn't know who he was."

"What did you get from his memory?" Liang Wu Ming asked.

"They found Elder Seventeen three months ago. They caught Elder Seventeen's family members and threatened him to pass the intels to a guy wearing black. Other than the guy who wore black and killed him, he never met anyone before. He doesn't know what forces or where they are from." Sima You Yue told them what she saw in the memories.

"Seventeen is someone who values his family members, they caught his weakness." Tang Yi commented.

"Other than the guy in black, there isn't any useful information from Elder Seventeen." Sima You Yue said.

"But now that the other party killed him, his family members definitely wouldn't be spared." Ying Bai Chuan said sadly.

"Bai Chuan, give a proper burial to Seventeen's body."

"Yes, Master." Ying Bai Chuan responded.

"You Yue, you continue to monitor the Valley's every movement with scarlet bees, report to me once you find any suspicion." Liang Wu Ming ordered.

"Valley Master, do you think there's another traitor in the Valley?" Xiao Jing Zhong asked.

"The opponent wouldn't know Seventeen is exposed for no reason, this means that he is still getting intel from someone else." Liang Wu Ming continued, "Let's get everybody out here."

Everyone parted their ways, Sima You Yue helped Ying Bai Chuan to bury Elder Seventeen, seeing Ying Bai Chuan's sad expression, she knew he couldn't bear it.

"Senior Brother Ying, don't be sad."

"Elder Seventeen has always taken care of me, didn't expect that..." Ying Bai Chuan's voice became hoarse, his eyes turned red, he was enraged and hurt.

"I can tell from Elder Seventeen's memory that he is very loyal to Divine Devil Valley." Sima You Yue patted Ying Bai Chuan's shoulder, "He was wrong at the part where after he knew that his family got captured, he should have told Valley Master, everyone will think of a way. Now that he's dead, his family won't be spared."

"No matter who is it, I'll definitely catch them!" Ying Bai Chuan clenched his fist.

After they buried Elder Seventeen's body, Sima You Yue swatted her hands and said, "Let's go and meet martial uncle. There were too many people around just now and I didn't have a chance to tell him anything."

"Do you still have any useful information?"

"No, there's only some doubts that I want to let martial uncle know." Sima You Yue continued, "Let's go."

The news about Elder Seventeen betraying Divine Devil Valley spreaded quickly, when everyone knew about it, they sighed with sorrow. Everyone loved this elder, but they didn't expect it would turn out this way.

When Sima You Yue and Ying Bai Chuan came to Liang Wu Ming's room, they saw him staring in blank space.

Sima You Yue remembered what Ying Bai Chuan just said, Liang Wu Ming was nurtured by Elder Seventeen, they had deep connection, with all this happening, he must be sad.

Liang Wu Ming saw them coming in and kept his emotions and asked, "Why are you guys here?"

"Just now there were too many people, I have yet to tell martial uncle about something." Sima You Yue continued, "I found some uncommon places in Elder Seventeen's memory, not sure if that's any useful."

"What did you find out?"

"In Elder Seventeen's memory, that guy who communicated with him, he looked like those guys that I've seen in Cloud Sea City." Sima You Yue said.

Liang Wu Ming and Ying Bai Chuan were surprised, "Are you sure?"

Sima You Yue nodded, "Their figure doesn't look like, but the smell is similar to those people, seems like they are one organisation."

"If that's the case, then it's the people from the inner region!" Ying Bai Chuan continued, "Not sure what happened in the past few years with those in the inner regions, they keep meddling with central regions' matters and stir so much commotion, what are they thinking?"

"There must be a big turmoil in the inner regions, that's why they want to meddle into central regions." Liang Wu Ming continued, "But they can't meddle with central regions' affairs for no reason, so they thought of provoking incidents which gives them the reason to fight."

"This past few years, the central region has been in so much turmoil, there are some forces contacting the inner region's powerful people." Ying Bai Chuan continued, "If it's the inner region who did that, then Cloud Cave and Kong Valley might not be their allies."

"There's too little clues right now, all these are just my guesses." Sima You Yue continued, "But Kong Valley had problems too, I heard that someone got poisoned by the poison from our valley."

"If we confirm that this is done by Kong Valley, people from Kong Valley will think that we poisoned them, then both clans might fight." Ying Bai Chuan said worriedly.

"Kong Valley is fine." Sima You Yue continued, "I already asked someone to handle the things there. They might send someone to contact us soon."

"Oh? You already settled it?"

"Yes." Sima You Yue continued, "If they send someone, please martial uncle, don't make things difficult for them."

.

Chapter 1047:- Come Back To Keep You Company

"Are you still contacting people from Kong Valley?" Liang Wu Ming ssked flabbergasted.

"Yes." Sima You Yue continued, "That day, our disciples were ambushed, Kong Valley's member was there, so I asked someone to check secretly. I found out that they have problems there too, so I asked someone to mediate it."

"Can that person successfully mediate it?" Ying Bai Chuan Asked worriedly.

If this problem isn't solved, it would be hard to come into terms when both forces might become enemies the next time.

"Don't worry! His status in Kong Valley is high." Sima You Yue continued, "So you don't have to worry about Kong Valley."

"Thank you, You Yue."

"You're welcome, Martial Uncle, you're already busy nowadays and I didn't do anything to help the Valley, it's time for me to do something." Sima You Yue Smiled.

"If the inner regions gets involved, this problem won't be easily solved." Ying Bai Chuan said.

They couldn't find the reason for the problem in Cloud Sea City, so they guessed they couldn't find anything this time too.

"I think our current priority is not to check who did it, it will be difficult to investigate since it is associated with the forces from inner regions." Sima You Yue continued, "What we have to do now is to resolve the crisis, don't let them get their way."

"What you said is right. We need to move our focus." Liang Wu Ming Said, "We need to discuss this in detail."

Sima You Yue didn't participate much after that, although she still had Scarlet Bees monitoring everything in Divine Devil Valley, but the opponent seemed to know their motive, so there wasn't any movement at all, until one of the in charge in Divine Devil Valley got killed.

It was the same this time, they didn't get any useful information at all, but they confirmed who was the spy in Divine Devil Valley. After that, this whole thing became still.

They investigated the truth behind the set up and resolved the grudges that shouldn't exist with other forces. All these things didn't need her to handle, so she became bored again. She visited those injured ones and checked on their recovery when she had nothing to do.

"You're healing well." Sima You Yue smiled while checking Yun Yi's health.

Yun Yi smiled as he moved his hands and felt the strength.

"Thank You, if you didn't use the way of silver needles to help me regulate bodily function, I think I would have become a cripple." He looked at her in gratitude.

"I can only say that I'm very happy to help you guys." Sima You Yue continued, "but that's all I can do, but for the others, it's beyond my Power, I can only watch them..."

"You treated those who had broken veins from hands and legs, everyone is very grateful towards you." Yun Yi's Voice sounded hurt, "Don't blame yourself, you can't help them to reborn limbs for those with broken hands and legs, this isn't your fault."

"Mm." Sima You Yue nodded, she was indeed helpless to some of them. "Oh right, the assessment is back on schedule, be well prepared."

"It's time for the assessment again?" Yun Yi was shocked, he thought that with these problems, Valley wouldn't resume the assessment.

"Yes. Because nobody can find out what's the problem, so Valley decided to resume back to normal daily lives and activities." Sima You Yue continued, "But the date has not been set yet, they are still looking at the recovery phase of you guys."

"I'm much better already, others should be the same." Yun Yi continued, "Since the assessment is coming, then I can't slack anymore, I need to train for a period of time."

"True. But don't tire yourself out, you have to have balance in training and rest. We'll make a move first." Sima You Yue stood up and bade goodbye.

After leaving Yun Yi's courtyard, she turned a few corners and found Little Seven and got her to follow her back.

Little Seven was currently very fond of Alchemy Hall because everywhere were filled with Treasure Pill ingredients, she might me able to get something nice to eat from time to time.

Alright, those Pills' Medicinal ingredients were only comparable to carrots for her.

Members from Alchemy Hall were more respectful towards Sima You Yue, so it was more favourable to Little Seven too. It was only built on the foundation of Sima You Yue, if they knew her actual identity and strength, they would love her more.

"What nice things did you find?" Sima You Yue saw how happy she was and knew immediately she was in a good mood.

"Hehe, just some big carrots." Little Seven then put the medicine ingredients in Sima You Yue's hands, "I want to eat sweets."

Sima You Yue Kept the medicine ingredients and said, "Let's go, I'll refine sweets for you."

Sweets were very simple to refine, after purifying the medicine ingredients then it could be refined, there was no need to add any other things. Little Seven loves to eat this kind of Pill.

After they went back to the courtyard, they already felt someone inside before they even stepped in.

"Someone is inside." Little Seven said.

Sima You Yue smiled when she sensed the person inside, a smile hung on her face, she pushed the door open and walked inside. Once she stepped in, she saw the person who was sitting in the courtyard.

"Senior Brother, why are you here? Is the problem at Sage Pavilion settled?" She walked over and sat beside him.

Little Seven tactfully ran outside to play.

When Sima You Yue was about to sit down, she was pulled by Wu Lingyu and sat in his embrace.

He locked her head and gave her a long kiss before he released her.

"I miss you already." Wu Lingyu rested his head on her neck.

"I miss you too." Sima You Yue held his shoulders, "You haven't answered me yet, is everything settled at Sage Pavilion?"

"Mm. They sent another Pavilion Master over." Wu Lingyu said.

"Aren't you the Holy Son? Shouldn't you be the Pavilion Master after Shao Yun Xiao died?" Sima You Yue said in surprise.

"I rejected." Wu Lingyu stroked her body.

"Why?"

"If I'm the Pavilion Master, I'll be busy, then I won't have time to Come Back." Wu Lingyu Continued, "If that's the case, then I won't be able to keep you company next time."

Sima You Yue eyes lit up, held on his face and said, "You're saying that you can accompany me all the way next time?"

"For the next few years."

"Really?"

Wu Lingyu nodded, a smile hung on the corner of his lips when he saw the happiness in her eyes.

Sima You Yue excitedly gave a peck on his cheeks after getting a confirmed answer, expressing her excitement.

When she was about to pull back, he locked her head and kissed both her lips, feeling her beauty.

He then released her after a while, a silver thread ambiguous was threaded by both their lips and teeth.

"You're really able to not go back for long? What about Sage Pavilion?"

"The New Pavilion Master's relationship with me is good, so I don't have to hover around him to show my existence." Wu Lingyu said faintly.

Sima You Yue knew after seeing him like this, that they wouldn't be in an ordinary relationship, that he should be his member or someone that would be controlled by him.

Regardless, he could keep her company, That's Great!

Chapter 1048:- News Of The Immortal Land

"By the way, does Martial Uncle know that you've come back?" Sima You Yue raised her head and looked at Him in earnest.

"I have already met with Martial Uncle. That was when you and Yun Yi were conversing." Wu Lingyu said.

"Since you knew that I'm in the Alchemy Hall, why didn't you go find me?" Sima You Yue poked his face.

Wu Lingyu grabbed her hand. "I will be unhappy if you talk to other men. If I don't let you have contact with others, you will be unhappy."

Sima You Yue pursed her lips and laughed. This guy made it clear that he didn't like her being with others.

"I also came back with some news." Wu Lingyu said.

"About what?"

"The inner regions' scheme." Wu Lingyu replied.

"What's the news? Is it related to the attack on the Valley's disciples?"

"I've already relayed to Martial Uncle some relevant information." Wu Lingyu looked at her curious eyes. "You don't need to worry about those things. It's tiring to know so much."

"Uh, Okay." Sima You Yue didn't force him to tell her. Anyways, with him here, she did not need to care for anything and focus on her affairs.

"You said Master went after Aunt Feng. Why hadn't he come back after so many years? Did something happen?" She asked worriedly.

"Nothing." Wu Lingyu replied. "The Old Guy's life token is still safe. So nothing happened."

"But there hadn't been any news for so long. I feel worried." Sima You Yue said.

"Why don't you go find Aunt Feng. As long as the Old Man finds her, He won't give up."

"Then forget it." Sima You Yue said. "Besides I don't know how to find Aunt Feng, even if I find her I promised her that I can't tell anyone of her news."

"Then don't worry about it." Wu Lingyu said.

"Yeah." Sima You Yue nodded. "But I'm really curious about Aunt Feng's identity. "During the time in the Dark Forest, those who wanted to take away Little Tu were all strong but when they saw Aunt Feng's Soul Imprint... they all suddenly became respectful."

"Her identity... if I am not mistaken should be higher than these people we know of." Wu Lingyu said.

"Do you know?"

"No. But it can be investigated." Wu Lingyu said.

"Sigh, I'll know it when it's time." Sima You Yue sighed, "Fortunately, Little Spirit said that the growth of the Divine Scar is good. When it sprouts, it can cure Aunt Feng's injury and even Xuan Qiu He's eyes as well. I also promised him that I'd cure him."

Wu Lingyu flicked her forehead, and said, "You think about those things all day, so why don't you think about me."

"These things are what I promised others, of course I have to keep them in mind."

"Speaking of Little Tu, do you still remember why the snatching of the Auspicious Beast happened?" Wu Lingyu asked.

"Mm. It is said that an Immortal Land will appear soon, and the blood of the Auspicious Beast can open the door of the Immortal Land." Sima You Yue said. "Isn't it said the Immortal Land will open soon, I am afraid it already passed."

"Not yet." Wu Lingyu said, "Due to some reasons, there was a problem with the Immortal Land, and the opening time was delayed."

"That being said, we can catch up on that?" Sima You Yue's eyes brightened.

When Wu Lingyu saw her like this, he knew she was moved. He reached out and pulled her nose. "I knew you would want to go."

"Then do you know where the Immortal Land is? How long does it take to open?" Sime You Yue grinned.

"There's still several months. It's enough for you to prepare." Wu Lingyu said.

"Ha, Let's wait until the Assessment's over to see!" Sima You Yue was in a good mood. Immortal Land was a better place than a Little Realm because these places are where top experts leave behind. There would be more opportunities, and if one was lucky, it was not impossible to rapidly increase one's strength.

In the following days, Sima You Yue felt more and more comfortable. She didn't need to worry about the Valley's Affairs. She was accompanied by someone she liked that she could chat with, resolve her doubts and guide her. There was no urgency for her to do things. She felt that she had gained weight for more than half a month.

"Yue Yue, I also think that you've gained weight." Little Seven smiled while Sima You Yue pinched her own cheeks.

Sima You Yue glanced at her. Even if she knew, she didn't need to say it!

Wu Lingyu sat underneath the tree aside, holding a cup of tea in hand. When he saw her glaring eyes, he smiled and shook his head.

"Yue Yue, don't be angry. Even if you grow fat, Brother Lingyu would dot disdain you." Little Seven chuckled while covering her mouth.

"There's no use of disdain." Wu Lingyu who rarely answered back said.

"Hmph, Hmph, It's too late for disdain." Sima You Yue took out a Spirit Fruit and threw it at him.

Wu Lingyu caught the Spirit Fruit which was glistening with water after being washed. He took a bite and it was sweet.

"I've already discussed with Martial Uncle when the Assessment is over, I will arrange for people to go to the Immortal Land." Wu Lingyu said.

"There's an Auspicious Beast at the Valley?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Don't you have one also?" Wu Lingyu blinked.

"Hmph, you too." Sima You Yue glared at him.

"Besides the people at the Valley, what else do you have to do?" Wu Lingyu asked.

Sima You Yue sat down beside him and pondered for a while. "My brothers and them are all in the Little Realm and haven't come out yet. I only need to bring people from the Sect to go. Well, if Senior Brothers and Sisters were not with the Sect, they can also join us."

"Then you can notify them when the Assessment is over." Wu Lingyu suggested.

"Mm, I will contact them as soon as possible. This opportunity is rare. It cannot be missed or it will be a regret for a lifetime." Sima You Yue replied.

Two days later, the assessment of the Divine Devil Valley's disciples officially began.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu appeared at the rostrum with a group of Hall Masters. The disciples of the Hall were waiting below.

"Yue Yue, I always followed you to sit in the auditorium or contestants' stand. I didn't expect to sit in the rostrum this time." Little Seven sat beside Sima You Yue. She moved on and about in the chair.

"Mm, it's the first time I've been in this position." Sima You Yue said. "Be quiet and don't move."

"Oh." Little Seven quieted down and stretched her neck to watch the contest.

The host below went up and began to preside over the Inner Valley's Assessment. After introducing a lot of rules, the first round of Assessment finally began.

Sima You Yue who was sitting here for the first time, had a different view of the setting at this position. In the past, she watched how those people competed with a learning mentality. When she watched it this time, she took on a scrutinizing attitude, whether the disciples in the Valley were all that good.

.
.
.
Chapter 1049:- Plan

The first day of assessment was for the disciples of the Alchemy Hall. Yun Yi and them were gathered inside. Although he was injured last time, he had completely recovered, and there was no obstacle in his alchemy process.

"You Yue." Xiao Jing Zhong called out softly.

"Elder Xiao, what's the matter?" Sima You Yue turned to look at him.

"It's nothing. I just want to thank you." Xiao Jing Zhong spoke. "Look at Yun Yi and them. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't be able to practice alchemy ever again."

"That's right." He Wen said. "You Yue, your silver needle method is superb, better than many spirit pills."

"Thank you Elder He for your praise." Sima You Yue smiled.

"I was busy before, now thinking about it, I want to ask you about it." He Wen hesitated.

"What is difficult for Elder He to speak of?" Sima You Yue asked about his hesitation.

"So it's like this." He Wen began. "We never heard of your silver needle method before. Can you teach it to the disciples of the valley? I know this idea is a bit abrupt but..."

"Elder He is overthinking this. Since I am the Young Valley Master of the Divine Devil Valley, and the silver needle method can cure people, it is good that I can contribute a little to the valley." Sima You Yue interrupted.

For ordinary people, these skills were usually hidden and tucked away, unless they were pioneers of a new sect or something, which they would be willing to share with them. But they did not expect her to agree so soon.

"For real?" He was elated!

"Of course it's for real." Sima You Yue was amused by his appearance. "But the silver needle method is easy to learn but difficult to master. I can only offer some basic knowledge to the valley. If it is to be mastered, the disciples will have to further study it."

"This is only natural." He Wen nodded.

"Then later, I will go back and sort the knowledge of the acupuncture points on the human body and the silver needle method and send it to the Medicine Master Hall."

"Alright, hahaha...."

The other hall masters were so stunned at the sight of the He Wen's excitement, that they couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.

The following assessments were still continuing. After the alchemy assessment, the armament assessment, the array assessment, and others, several days were spent on the assessment process.

Just as Sima You Yue and others were conducting the assessment, the news that the Immortal Land was about to open spread throughout the continent, raising a lot of commotion. Various forces were beginning to move.

The requirement for the opening of the Immortal Land was the blood of the Auspicious Beast. It reminded them of the event of snatching Little Tu in the Black Forest. Only then did they know that the news of the Immortal Land about to appear was already known at that time.

But Little Tu had been taken away. It was no secret. Without the Auspicious Beast, where would they go to find the blood of the Auspicious Beast to open the door of the Immortal Land.

Ever since, during that period of time, there was another wave of searching for an Auspicious Beast in the continent.

Some forces who possess Auspicious Beasts were not in a hurry. But those loners with one had to seek refuge to protect their Auspicious Beast.

Today, Sima You Yue returned to the courtyard of the square. She took out the mother-son stone and contacted Ximen Feng.

"Sister, what's up?" Ximen Feng asked.

"Feng'er, I have something to tell you." Sima You Yue accepted the spirit fruit from Wu Lingyu. She took a bite and said, "Do you remember when those people wanted to snatched Little Tu in the dark forest?"

"I do. Do you want to talk about the Immortal Land?" Ximen Feng asked.

"You also knew about it?"

"Of course. The whole continent is talking about the Immortal Land. No matter how hidden we are in the Heartbreak Valley, how would we not know about such a big matter." Ximen Feng chuckled.

"Since you know about it, what do you think?" Sima You Yue asked.

"There is indeed something..."

"You're in a good mood, what are your thoughts? Tell me about it." Sima You Yue could hear that his tone was lighter which made her feel that it was a bad idea.

"The Zong Zheng Clan also want to enter the Immortal Land." Ximen Feng said.

"Zong Zheng Clan?" Sima You Yue's eyes brightened. Her lips pursed. "Do they have an Auspicious Beast?"

"No." Ximen Feng replied.

"Then how are they going to go in?"

"That's why they're finding a way to?" Ximen Feng said. "They've been more active recently. They must have found a way to. Even if they can't, we will let them find one."

"Brother Feng, you have an evil idea!" Little Seven hollered into the mother-son stone.

"Aren't I trying to help them?" Ximen Feng retorted.

"You don't want to help them. I think you want to get them in and kill them." Little Seven chuckled.

"Heh heh." Ximen Feng sneered.

"What's your plan?" Sima You Yue smiled on the side.

"Naturally, I'll help them find a way to get the blood of the Auspicious Beast..." Ximen Feng said.

"Mm, you can implement it if you have an idea. Tell me what you need." Sima You Yue gave him full authority.

"Then do you know where there is an Auspicious Beast?"

"..."

There was really a need to say it!

She didn't know where to find the Auspicious Beast, so she could only cast her eyes on Wu Lingyu.

"I just happened to know where an Auspicious Beast is..." Wu Lingyu shook the wine cup in Sima You Yue's hand.

"..." Sima You Yue stared at his calm eyes and looked at the sky. "What else don't you know?"

Wu Lingyi smiled and said nothing.

A few days later, the Zong Zheng Clan had exciting news.

"Clan leader! Clan Leader! We found it! We found it!" An elder ran up to the meeting hall excitedly.

Zong Zheng Qing Ren, the head of Zong Zheng Clan, stood up from his seat immediately.

"Are you sure? You found the whereabouts of the auspicious beast?!"

The elder was flushed with excitement and nodded vigorously. "Yes, Clan Leader, this time the news is true!"

"Where?"

"It's in a valley of Southern Desolation. But..."

"But what?" Zong Zheng Qing Ren asked.

"A lot of forces know this news, and everyone is going there now." The elder answered. "We have to act now, otherwise we will fall behind others."

"Since it is found, then take some people and have Song Mao go. We must bring the Auspicious Beast back!" Zong Zheng Qing Ren commanded.

"Yes, Clan Leader!" The elder hurriedly left.

"Clan Leader, this Auspicious Beast is related to the Immortal Land. Young Master is still young, it is better to let the elders keep an eye on it." Another elder stood up.

"You are right. You and the fifth elder are to go with Young Master." Zong Zheng Qing Ren ordered.

"Yes, Clan Leader."

After half a day, Zong Zheng Song Mao left the clan with a group of people and rushed to the Southern Desolation.

Half a day later, Sima You Yue received the news from Ximen Feng.

"Sister, there's news that Zong Zheng Song Mao and two other people went."

Sima You Yue had a bright smile on her face. "Great, let's proceed as planned..."

.
.
.
Chapter 1050:- Young Palace Master And Young Master

Zong Zheng Song Mao took Zong Zheng's family members to Southern Desolation, and they went straight to the Xisha Mountain Ridge in Lazurite Province.

Lazurite Province is the largest area in the Southern Desolation, because there are several large families and clans there, and the combination of strength is the strongest.

Yin Yang Palace was also in Lazurite Province. As the largest strength of Lazurite Province, it was located in the center of Lazurite Province, which is not far away from the Qin family.

When Zong Zheng Song Mao had brought them to the Xisha Mountain Ridge, the people of the Yin Yang Palace had already arrived.

"Young Master Zong Zheng, my Young Palace Master has a request." The guards from Yin Yang Palace came to the place where the Zong Zheng house camped and said proudly.

The expressions of the Zong Zheng family members turned ugly. They did not expect the people from Yin Yang Palace to be here, and seeing the appearance of these two people, it seems that they were very dissatisfied with the news that they had concealed the Auspicious Beast.

"I didn't expect the Young Palace Master to come personally as well. I did say that after I have confirmed the news of the Auspicious Beast, I will inform the Palace Master." Although he was unhappy inside, Zong Zheng Song Mao still responded with a smile.

"Well, I really do hope that those are your true thoughts." A guard said, "Young Master Zong Zheng, over here."

"You guys camp here, and the two elders will come with me to greet the Young Palace Master." Zong Zheng Song Mao said.

"Yes, Young Master."

Zong Zheng Song Mao and the two elders followed the guards to the place where the Yin Yang Palace was camped. On the way, he saw many forces' camps..

"So many forces have come?" Third Elder Zong Zheng Hai frowned when he saw those camps.

"How did these forces arrive so fast?" Fifth Elder Zong Zheng Quan also wondered.

"At this time, it's about the Auspicious Beast and the Immortal Land. Of course, those people will come here quickly." Zong Zheng Song Mao said, "From my point of view, there may be a lot of forces in the near future."

If that is the case, they were less likely to get hold of the Auspicious Beast.

But no matter what, they have to get the beast!

He felt someone staring at him but he didn't see anyone looking at him.

Sima You Yue, Wu Lingyu together with Ximen Feng and Qin Mo were standing at the peak. Zong Zheng Song Mao had looked in this direction earlier on.

"I didn't expect this Zong Zheng Song Mao to be quite sensitive," Sima You Yue said.

"Zong Zheng Song Mao is not a simple character." Qin Mo said, "Since he can be the Young Master of the family at such an age, it is natural that he got skills."

"Really?" Sima You Yue smiled faintly, "If this is the case, it's better. It's better to break one of their powerful arms than to pull out only a few feathers."

"Back then, Zong Zheng Song Mao had killed many people in our family." Ximen Feng said, "This time, we must make them pay for our dead relatives!"

"Don't worry, this time they will have a trip with no return!" Sima You Yue said.

Although the time it took to plan this was a bit short but it was absolutely perfect. Those who should pay the price! None of them would go unscathed!

Zong Zheng Song Mao, Zong Zheng Hai and Zong Zheng Quan came to the Yin Yang Palace. Seeing their large camp, they knew that the Yin Yang Palace had sent many people this time.

The guard led them to an exquisite tent and went away.

The guards at the door stared at them and said, "Young Master Zong Zheng, Young Palace Master is waiting for you inside."

Waiting for you, it meant that the two elders were not included.

"The two of you shall wait here." Zong Zheng Song Mao said to the two elders before he entered. He saw Cao Le, the Young Palace Master of Yin Yang Palace, with beautiful girls serving him. He paid his respects to Cao Le, "Song Mao has come to greet Young Palace Master."

There were two beauties next to Cao Le. One was fanning him and the other was sitting on the side and feeding him fruits. Seeing Zong Zheng Song Mao, he spat the seeds from his mouth into the beauty's hands and said sharply, "Zong Zheng Song Mao, I haven't seen you in a few years. Your guts have grown bigger."

"Young Palace Master is taking it too seriously. My Zong Zheng family is loyal to Yin Yang Palace." Zong Zheng Song Mao said respectfully.

"Really?" Cao Le waved his hand, indicating that the beauties around him no longer need to feed him fruits, sat up from the couch, and said, "If you're really loyal, why didn't you tell us about the appearance of the auspicious beast this time?"

"We have just received news as well. As soon as we heard it, we immediately sent people to inform the palace. We didn't wait for the people from the palace to get the upper hand. But I didn't expect the Young Palace Master to come here first." Zong Zheng Song Mao said seriously.

"Really?" Cao Le stared straight at him, without saying whether he believed it or not.

"It's very true." Zong Zheng Song Mao's expression remained unchanged, as if he had said the truth.

Cao Le looked at it for a while, smiled, and said, "We, Yin Yang Palace, still believe in your Zong Zheng family."

Zong Zheng Song Mao breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and said, "Don't worry, Young Palace Master, my Zong Zheng family will never betray Yin Yang Palace."

"Then I will wait for you to catch the Auspicious Beast in front of me." Cao Le said, "Don't worry, if you catch the beast, while in the Immortal Land, we will not treat you badly."

"Song Mao will definitely catch the Auspicious Beast."

Outside the tent, Zong Zheng Hai and Zong Zheng Quan heard the conservation inside clearly. After a while, they saw Zong Zheng Song Mao coming out and greeted him.

"Young Master."

"Go back and bring the family members over, and we will camp with the people in Yin Yang Palace," Zong Zheng Song Mao ordered.

Both Zong Zheng Hai and Zong Zheng Quan understood what this meant. If they lived together, Zong Zheng's people would definitely be allowed to do anything, and Yin Yang Palace would only be in charge from behind.

But what could they do? Their strength was not as good as the Yin Yang Palace and they had to rely on the Yin Yang Palace to protect them.

"We shall summon the family members over." Zong Zheng Hai said.

"Go." Zong Zheng Song Mao's voice was somewhat forbearing. People in Yin Yang Palace couldn't hear it, but the two elders understood what he meant.

An hour later, Zong Zheng's tent was pitched next to Yin Yang Palace.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu had been watching the whole situation here and they were not surprised at the demands of Yin Yang Palace.

"How did you reveal the news to Yin Yang Palace without them knowing?" Wu Lingyu asked while holding her in his arms.

Sima You Yue nuzzled in his arms and said, "Yin Yang Palace and Qin Family are not far away. They have been paying attention to the situation of the Qin Family. I just made a little movement in the Qin Family, and they naturally will know."

"What about other forces?"

"It didn't take much effort," Sima You Yue said, "If they were the only ones here, then the news would not seem to be real."

"They are also eager to get it, otherwise they will not be so easily fooled if such news appears at this time." Wu Lingyu said.

"If it weren't for this moment, I couldn't think of such a way." Sima You smiled slyly, "But is your friend reliable?"

Chapter 1051:- From The Old Days

"That is only natural." Wu Lingyu said. "But we'll have to compensate it when it's time."

"What compensation did you promise?"

"Something you have. That's why I could promise it." Wu Lingyu replied.

"What would that be?"

"Golden Snake Fruit."

"Golden Snake Fruit?" Sima You Yue got up from Wu Lingyu's arms. "We just want a little bit of blood from it, and it wants our Golden Snake Fruit?"

When he saw that she was very riled up, he continued with a smile, "Not one, but two. Anyway, there's so many in your Spirit Pagoda. It shouldn't matter if you part with two."

"Hmph, you're taking advantage of me!" Sima You Yue pouted.

"It has use for it." Wu Lingyu reasoned. "Even if there wasn't such a situation, I would also have asked you to give it two fruits."

"Your relationship is that good?" Sima You Yue asked.

Otherwise, he wouldn't ask her for Golden Snake Fruit.

"Not bad." Wu Lingyu said. "Recently, a clan member evolved and it has a little connection with you."

"Connection with me? Who?" Sima You Yue curiously asked.

"You'll know by then." Wu Lingyu smiled without answering.

"Hmph, hmph, you are all jackals of the same lair!" Sima You Yue glared at him.

"Ha ha ha..." Wu Lingyu laughed out loud. She looked quite cute like this.

"You can have two Golden Snake Fruits." Sima You Yue laid back into his arms and played with his hair. "As long as it handles the matter well for me, I will give it to him. But if it doesn't handle it well and mess things up for me, there will be no Golden Snake Fruit."

"You! He really does need the Golden Snake Fruit. It's not taking advantage of you, so don't be angry." Wu Lingyu gently kissed her forehead and smiled.

"But they're my treasures." Sima You Yue snorted.

"To other people, they are treasures, but you have a lot of them. They are no longer in the ranks of treasure. I'll have him do something to the blood, which will make Ying Yang Palace and Zong Zheng Clan suffer in the Immortal Land." Wu Lingyu directly solved her doubts.

"That's better." Sima You Yue smiled with satisfaction.

Inside the Xisha mountain ridge, an ape couldn't help but shiver, feeling like it was being watched.

The other ape noticed and said, "Old ancestor, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." The old ape shook his head. You two must follow me these days, don't act alone."

"Old ancestor, do we really want to help them?" The other yellow hair ape was a little reluctant. It did not have any good feelings towards humans.

"You two need the Golden Snake Fruit for evolution." The old ape said. "Besides, I have a good relationship with him. It's not a problem to help him."

"Does he really have the Golden Snake Fruit? We haven't found it after looking for so long. If he said he did, does he really?"

The old ape nodded. "I believe him."

"I still feel a little nervous. Little Ten, there are always several Golden Snake Fruit each time, why did you get only one at the time?" The yellow ape asked Little Ten.

"At that time, there was a lot of human snatching for them." Little Ten answered. "My bloodline power was not awakened. My strength was very low and couldn't fight so many people."

Little Ten thought of the scene before, and the memory of the bright eyes in the black cloak was especially deep.

Although she robbed him of the Golden Snake Fruit, she didn't rush to take it all, leaving him one. It allowed him to awaken his bloodline and come to the continent and meet his own kind.

"If we can go to the Yi Lin Continent, we can probably find that person and see if she still has more Golden Snake Fruit." The yellow ape suggested.

Little Ten shook his head. "I tried to find that person after my blood was awakened. But I never found her again. I think she must have been in disguise at that time. If I go back to find her now, I definitely would not find her."

"How do you know if you don't try." The yellow haired ape said.

"Little Huang, don't worry. If Wu Lingyu really doesn't have the Golden Snake Fruit, we'll go to Yi Lin Continent and try." The old ape comforted the yellow ape who was worried.

"Old ancestor, I know you also need the Golden Snake Fruit." Little Huang said. "You didn't say it because Wu Lingyu said there are only two Golden Snake Fruits. You want to leave them to us. But what about you? So we still have to find a way to find the person in Yi Lin Continent."

"Let's talk about this later." The old ape dismissed it. "They're here."

The old ape looked towards the top of the mountain and saw Wu Lingyu and Sima You Yue flying over.

Wu Lingyu took Sima You Yue to a towering tree and stopped. "This is the temporary nest of the old ape."

Sima You Yue examined the big tree. The crown of the tree was almost half a kilometer wide at the front and back. She didn't know how long for it to grow like this.

The spirit border around the tree dissipated and the two flew in. As soon they entered, they saw three apes sitting on the branches.

"It's you?!" Little Ten saw Sima You Yue and excitedly shouted.

Sima You Yue looked at Little Ten with confusion. It knew her? Why was it so excited?

"You are the one who snatched my Golden Snake Fruit at Pu Luo Mountain Range!" Little Ten stared at her and said with certainty.

Those eyes. He did not see wrong. It must be her!

When Sima You Yue heard this, she immediately understood who that ape was. He could say the words, Pu Luo Mountain Range and Golden Snake Fruit, except the ape who tried to snatch the Golden Snake Fruit with her, who else could it be.

No wonder Wu Lingyu said that she had some connections with him. She didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance!

"Why do you look different from before?" Since the other party recognized herself, she had no need to deny it. After all, she had promised to give them the Golden Snake Fruit.

Little Ten was excited. "It's really you! I didn't make a mistake!"

Sima You Yue shrugged. "You're not staying at Yi Lin Continent. Why did you come to the Ancient Primordial Lands?"

Moreover, his strength has increased a lot, and he has entered the ranks of sacred beasts.

"The Golden Snake Fruit you gave me back then awakened my bloodline, allowing me to come to this continent and find my people." Little Ten explained.

The old ape and Little Huang understood what happened. The person in front of them was the person they were discussing just now. The person who owned the Golden Snake Fruit of Yi Lin Continent.

They had said they hadn't seen the Golden Snake Fruit after searching on the continent for a long time. Why was there suddenly news of the Golden Snake Fruit? It turned out that it was the person that Little Ten talked about.

"Little Ten, is she really that person?" Little Huang was very disappointed.

Little Ten nodded certainly.

"So we cannot find a third Golden Snake Fruit." Little Huang murmured.

Little Ten was also aware of this problem. Now that Sima You Yue is here, where are they going to find the third Golden Snake Fruit?

"Uncle Huang, you and the old ancestor should use the two Golden Snake Fruit. I already ate one and don't need it." Little Ten said.

Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows. The third Golden Snake Fruit?

.

Chapter 1052:- Transaction Upgrade

The old ape sighed. "You two are the hope for the future. I'm already so old, so there's no need to waste such a good thing on me."

"Old ancestor!" Little Ten cried out.

"Let's talk about this later. We still have guests now." The old ape said.

Little Ten was about to cry.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Sima You Yue asked.

Little Ten looked towards Sima You Yue and said, "You took so many Golden Snake Fruits, do you have any more?"

"Any more?"

"Yes." Little Ten looked expectantly at her. "Do you have a third Golden Snake Fruit?"

"Our transaction is two Golden Snake Fruit." Sima You Yue said.

"I know, but we..." Little Ten stopped halfway because the old ape was glaring at him.

"You three need three Golden Snake Fruits?" Sima You Yue asked the old ape.

"Yes." The old ape answered helplessly. "Golden Snake Fruit is the key elixir of our race to awaken our blood and evolve. If we have the Golden Snake Fruits, we can evolve to a higher level. We didn't have much hope before. But after meeting Little Ten, we know there are more Golden Snake Fruits."

"You seem to be in urgent need." Sima You Yue noted.

"Old ancestor was injured before. If he doesn't evolve, I'm afraid his time is running out." Little Huang spoke up. "But if we don't eat it, we won't be able to evolve and old ancestor insists that both of us have it."

"Why?" Sima You Yue asked the old ape.

"Even if I ate the Golden Snake Fruit, I can't further improve my bloodline. So why waste such a precious elixir?" The old ape answered. "It's better to let them have it, maybe they can reach a new level for our clan."

"But that will save your life." Sima You Yue said.

The old ape shook his head. "Nothing is more important than the race's development. Their future is more important than my broken body."

"You're really..." Sima You Yue admired the old ape. Only then did she understand why Wu Lingyu would have such a good relationship with him.

"What you asked of us to do is not dangerous, right?" Little Huang looked at Wu Lingyu. "We have already seen the movement outside, and many people have come."

"There is rather quite a lot." Wu Lingyu replied.

"The old ancestor's body is not well. If the danger is too great, we won't agree to continue." Little Huang said.

"If that's the case, you won't get the Golden Snake Fruit." Sima You Yue shrugged as if she didn't care if they would withdraw halfway.

"Even if there is no Golden Snake Fruit." Little Huang spoke firmly.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine." The old ape said.

Sima You Yue stared at them for a long time before saying, "If you can do me another favor, I will give you three Golden Snake Fruits."

"Three? You have another one?" Little Ten glanced at her excitedly.

Sima You Yue nodded.

When she nodded, Little Huang and the old ape were also excited. The old ape glanced at Wu Lingyu. Seeing that he had no strange expression, he believed her words.

"What do you want us to do?"

"At the very end, we just want some of your blood?" Sima You Yue was like a devil luring it's prey with temptation. "I want to add something to it..."

More than an hour later, Sima You Yue and Wu Liingyu left, leaving the three apes in a daze.

"This person is too dark. Fortunately, we are not her enemies." Little Huang murmured.

"I'm very glad that I didn't do it the hard way." Little Ten sighed.

The old ape was the calmest. It scratched itself. "You must remember to not go head to head with her in the future and don't become enemies with her. With your intelligence, you can't beat her."

"..."

Little Huang and Little Ten looked at the old ape. Old ancestor, why must you be so direct?

"But although she is a bit cruel to her enemies, her character is good." Little Ten become excited when he thought of the three golden snake fruits.

"She said that old ancestor should heal the injury first before eating the Golden Snake Fruit, so that old ancestor can elevate your bloodline power." Little Huang said. "She even said that she could cure you?"

"If the people of the Divine Devil Valley cannot heal me, then I can only depend on the Golden Snake Fruit." The old ape said.

"Then we'll wait for them to arrange the trap."

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu circled the mountains a few times, chose a suitable place, and set up the trap before contacting the apes to come over and tell them what to do next.

The old apes saw the densely forested canyon that Sima You Yue had chosen. It was indeed a good spot for an ambush.

After they listened to Sima You Yue's explanation, the three apes promised again to never be enemies with her in the future.

Outside the mountain range, people of all of the various forces were talking about the aura of the Auspicious Beast that they sensed. If they could obtain it, they could enter the Immortal Land.

Qin Mo and Ximen Feng watched their excitement. They felt they were a bit pitiful.

"What would they feel if they found out that this was all premeditated in the end?" Qin Mo smiled lightly, not feeling guilty for doing this.

"They won't know." Ximen Feng replied. "This matter is not fake. It's just an artificial arrangement that's all."

"That's true." Qin Mo agreed. "After so many years, they are finally going to pay a little price."

Ximen Feng pursed his lips and did not answer.

Yes, after so many years, it was time to finally ask them for some interest.

Suddenly, there was a wave of fluctuation in space. The two of them looked up, just to see Kong Xiang Yi leading people of Kong Valley out from the space tunnel.

"Why are you here?" When Ximen Feng saw Kong Xiang Yi, his face revealed a smile.

Kong Xiang Yi didn't expect to see Ximen Feng immediately after arriving. She flew over, smiling back. "You've shared it all with me, so shouldn't I come to make your plan more realistic?"

"Aren't you afraid of implicating your people?"

"No you won't let them die." Kong Xiang Yi said with affirmation. "You are not the kind of person who will kill innocent people for revenge."

"You really understand us." Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu came over and had just heard Kong Xiang Yi's words. She responded with a smile.

"That's natural." Kong Xiang Yi raised her chin up. "Tell me about it, what are your plans? Is there anything we can do for you?"

"You've come at the right time. I happen to have something that needs to be done. It is not convenient to have someone from the Qin family do it." Anyways, this girl will sooner or later be her younger sister-in-law. Sima You Yue did not need to be polite.

After hearing Sima You Yue's words, Kong Xiang Yi's eyes brightened. With a mischievious smile, she slapped her on the shoulder and exclaimed, "You are such a deceitful god!"

Chapter 1053:- Digging A Pit For You (1)

After feeling the breath of the Auspicious Beast that day, everyone became excited and sent out hordes of people to locate that Auspicious Beast, members of Yin Yang Palace wasn't an exception.

Of course, with Zong Zheng's members around, Yin Yang Palace's people didn't really go out and only used a token to send some people to follow Zong Zheng's members.

Not sure whether the Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng clan had good or bad luck, while others didn't manage to find a single trace of the Auspicious Beast even after looking around meticulously. However, once they stepped out, they immediately stumbled into Old Ape and another spirit beast in battle.

The repercussion of the battle affected the whole clan, a clan with one hundred members, only left a few alive, the rest died.

But most of the people who died were Zong Zheng clan's members, Cao Le didn't even feel sorry, instead, he was roused by the news they brought back.

"You guys are telling me that the Old Ape is injured?" He excitedly pushed away the beauties around him.

"Yes, Young Palace Master, I saw with my own eyes that the Old Ape was injured by his opponent and escaped ruggedly. That strength used was very powerful, if we didn't run away fast enough, we would be dead like those Zong Zheng's members." Yin Yang Palace's guard said.

"How is that Old Ape now?" Zong Zheng Song Mao asked from the side.

Zong Zheng Clan came back with only a few people when half of the people went out together. It would be good if they found the Auspicious Beast, but if they didn't catch that Auspicious Beast, then they would suffer great loss.

"Yes yes yes, how's that Old Ape?" Cao Le questioned.

"In reply to the Young Palace Master, that Old Ape's condition doesn't look good, you can say that his life is hanging on a thin line. If not for the Little Ape that came out at the last minute to save him, he will definitely lose his life." That guard continued, "With my guess, his injuries should be serious, even the Auspicious Beast's self recovery is strong, it's impossible to heal in such a short time. If we can find him in that short time, the chances of him getting caught will be high."

"How's the strength of that Ape that came out in the last minute?" Zong Zheng Song Mao asked.

"It's just a common Sacred Beast."

"Great!" Cao Le stood up amongst the beauties and said, "You'll bring everyone out and look for that Old Ape before he recovers!"

"Yes, Young Palace Master." The guard got excited.

"Remember, don't let other members of the other forces know about this." Zong Zheng Song Mao ordered.

"Yes, yes, yes, if other forces know about this then we would have to deal with those people and there will be a lot of problems." Cao Le said.

"I'll now bring people to chase after that Old Ape."

"Go ahead!" Cao Le nodded and called out to him and said, "You gather everyone, I'll personally lead."

"Young Palace Master, it's dangerous in the mountains, what if we meet..."

"Nonsense, this is a rare chance, if we missed it, how would I explain to the Master?" Cao Le continued, "Go and gather everyone quickly! Remember, don't make too much of a commotion!"

"Yes, Young Palace Master."

Zong Zheng Clan and Yin Yang Palace members quickly gathered, adding up to a few hundred people which was considered large scale. To avoid others' attention, they didn't keep the tent and left some people to keep a watch there, others followed Cao Le and Zong Zheng Song Mao to the mountains.

Seeing them coming into the mountains, Sima You Yue and Ximen Feng exchanged glances.

"Inform Qin Mo and Xiang Yi that Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng's members went in. Get them to follow the plan." Sima You Yue said softly.

"Mm." Ximen Feng took out the mother-son stone and contacted the two groups of people in the mountain and informed them about the movements here.

"Let's go, let's follow and watch." Sima You Yue summoned Thousand Resonance before she merged and transformed into another person.

Wu Lingyu twisted an illusion array and transformed into an ordinary guy.

Ximen Feng wore a human skin mask, three of them changed their smell and transformed into three other people.

If one didn't see them transform with their own eyes, no one could guess their identity.

Qin Mo and Kong Xiang Yi brought their own group and stayed quiet in the mountain and only after receiving Ximen Feng's information did they start to move.

"Brothers, it's time now, Zong Zheng clan's members are here, let's make this a good show, don't let Sima You Yue down, understand?" Kong Xiang Yi told her own members.

"Young Miss, please don't worry, we'll definitely act like it's real!" Someone patted their chest in assurance.

These people weren't just ordinary Kong Valley's members, they were all her confidants who mingled with her. Although they didn't know the reason she was doing this, if she wanted them to, they would make it a good one!

At the other side, Qin Mo kept his mother-son stone and told the people around him, "Did you hear that?"

"Yes, Master. We will make arrangements." Mu Wen said.

"Master, rest assured, we'll definitely bring them to a safe place." Qin Hong said.

"Mm, if they didn't fall into the trap, it's fine to kill them on the spot." Qin Mo said.

"Great! With Master's words, we are now clearer on what to do." Qin Hong and Mu Wen exchanged glances and went ahead to make arrangements.

Cao Le and Zong Zheng Song Mao brought people to the location where Old Ape and the other spirit beast was battling.

"Young Palace Master, this is where the Old Ape fought." Yin Yang Palace's guard pointed to a mountain peak.

"There's indeed the smell of the auspicious beast." Someone picked up the scent of Old Ape and said excitedly.

"Which direction did Old Ape run to?" Zong Zheng Quan looked at the mountain top that was destroyed and frowned.

"East."

Zong Zheng Song Mao looked in towards the east. That mountain peak was higher, the denser the forest, the more powerful the spirit beasts resided.

"That should be where the Old Ape lives." He continued, "There are a lot of powerful spirit beasts, if we go in, there'll be danger."

"Even still, we should give chase." Cao Le continued, "We have to catch the Auspicious Beast this time, if not we won't have a share of Immortal Land!"

"But, Young Palace Master..." Zong Zheng Quan wanted to tell him about the danger and to reconsider, but he was cut off even before he finished.

"Why, you Zong Zheng guys want to back out? If you guys back out, then don't blame me for reporting to Master." Cao Le looked at Zong Zheng Song Mao from the corner of his eyes, the threat was obvious.

Zong Zheng Song Mao felt the murder intent that exuded from Cao Le's body. He stared at Zong Zheng Quan and told Cao Le, "No matter what the Young Palace Master wants to do, our Zong Zheng clan will definitely follow. Fifth Elder didn't mean that he wants to back out, he's trying to say it'll be dangerous if we chase from the east as we can't confirm that the Auspicious Beast is really there. If we don't catch the Auspicious Beast, we will only lose our men there, it's not worth it."

"Then what are you trying to say?" Cao Le squinted his eyes and stared at Zong Zheng Song Mao with cold eyes.

Someone shouted before Zong Zheng Song Mao opened his mouth.

"Someone is coming from there! It's a member of Kong Valley!"

Chapter 1054:- Digging A Pit For You (2)

Kong Xiang Yi fled in a panic with Kong Valley's members as if someone was chasing them from behind, seeing Cao Le and the rest, that group of people quickly flew over.

"Kong Xiang Yi? When did you come? What happened?" Cao Le knew Kong Xiang Yi, he asked in shock after seeing that she brought a group of people.

Before that, he didn't even know Kong Valley's members came over.

Kong Xiang Yi saw Cao le and flashed a tint of happiness on her face.

"Cao Le, what are you guys doing here?" She flew over with everyone, her dress was worn out, torn and dirty.

"What happened to you?" Cao Le asked as he rarely saw her like this.

"I...." Kong Xian Yi hesitated and looked flickering, "We were attacked by a spirit beast over there."

"Attacked by a spirit beast?" Zong Zheng Quan looked at her, "You have the scent of the Old Ape on you, did you look for the Ape."

Kong Xiang Yi looked a little unnatural, as if her mind was exposed, but seeing her like this, they became certained that the spirit beast that she said was the Ape.

"Wasn't that Ape injured? Even you can't fight it?" Zong Zheng Quan asked.

Kong Xiang Yi was sure that they found out, she rolled her eyes and said, "Umm, that, although it's injured, it's very powerful. We can't win him even though we have so many people."

"I don't think so." Zong Zheng Hai continued, "You have another spirit beast's breath on you, the one that chased you wasn't Old Ape, but it's another spirit beast!"

"That.... You guessed wrong." Kong Xiang Yi denied.

"Impossible!" Zong Zheng Quan didn't believe it.

"Ah, the breath on you, was the breath of that spirit beast that fought with Old Ape!" One of the disciples from Yin Yang Palace called out.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Young Palace Master, this is definitely the smell of that spirit beast." That person said firmly, "We escaped under his breath, I'm sure of it."

"Xiang Yi, we're acquaintances, do you have to lie to me?" Cao Le slightly smiled.

"That.... It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that the situation now..." With Kong Xiang Yi's coyness, Cao Le was sure about his thoughts.

"Xiang Yi, you guys already got the blood of the auspicious beast right?" He walked over excitedly, wanting to hold onto Kong Xiang Yi's arm but was dodged by her.

Kong Xiang Yi looked at Cao Le with alertness and said , "Cao Le, what are you intending to do? This Auspicious Beast's blood is already poisoned by Kong Valley, you won't be able to use it even if you snatch it over."

Cao Le's smile stiffened, quickly went back to normal and smiled, "With the kind of relation we have, if you really got the Auspicious Beast's blood, I'll be happy for you, why would I snatch yours!"

"Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking." Kong Xiang Yi watched him, once he made a move that he shouldn't, she would poison him immediately.

"What kind of thoughts would I have, you think too much." Cao Le continued, "But, did you really get the Auspicious Beast's blood?"

"Yes." Kong Xiang Yi was sure that there wasn't a need to hide, "We found the Auspicious Beast, he was injured, he wasn't our match, but if he tried his best to fight us, we wouldn't benefit either, so we made a deal with it, it will give us some of its fresh blood, then we wouldn't fight with it."

"Then how did you guys get injured?" Cao Le questioned.

"We were set up by that Old Ape." Kong Xiang Yi said while she was fuming with rage, "We actually thought that it really didn't want to fight with us, that's why it agreed to give us its blood, end up that guy was up to no good, it gave me his blood so that its enemy will be lured by us."

"So you guys were injured by the spirit beast that injured Old Ape?" Zeng Zhong Song Mao said.

"Mm." Kong Xiang Yi nodded, "That spirit beast was very powerful, we are not its match even though we have so many people."

"You guys came here without bringing more helpers, like us, would we be afraid of that spirit beast?" Cao Le said proudly.

Kong Xiang Yi scanned through his men, indeed there were more than hers by half, but...

"We already got what we want, we will take our leave." After Kong Xiang Yi finished her sentence, she signaled to Kong Valley's members and they left with her.

Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng clan's members watched them leave and looked at Cao Le anxiously.

If they snatched their auspicious beast's blood over, then they wouldn't need to look for that Old Ape anymore. If they were to go into the mountains compared to fighting with Kong Valley's members, the risks would be lower on the latter.

But Cao Le and Zong Zheng Song Mao didn't show any indication, they didn't dare to take action as well, so they could only watch Kong Valley's members leave in vain.

"Young Palace Master, why aren't we stopping them?" He asked as he couldn't hold it in anymore seeing Kong Xiang Yi out of his vision.

"What can we do if Kong Valley's members do something to the blood?" Cao Le shot a glare at that person.

He wanted to snatch the blood of the Auspicious Beast over, but was it useful? The answer was no, moreover, they would offend Kong Valley's members for nothing.

"Kong Valley's poison is not something that we can resolve, it's better to keep your thoughts." Zong Zheng Song Mao continued, "Instead of thinking about that, why not think of how to capture that Auspicious Beast."

"Now we're sure if one thing, that Old Ape is not in a good condition, if we can find it. The chance of us capturing it is high." Zong Zheng Hai said.

"That's right." Cao Le said, "So you guys have to come back to senses, since we know where the Auspicious Beast is, then don't back out!"

"Yes!" Everyone answered loudly.

"But we have to be careful, if we enter deep into the mountains, the danger will be higher, you guys don't act rashly." Zong Zheng Song Mao continued, "Also, Old Ape's enemy is looking for it, we have to avoid that enemy."

"Young Master, don't worry, we already remembered that smell, if we come across it, we might be able to avoid it far away." Zong Zheng Quan said.

"Since everyone understood now, then let's prepare to go in." Cao Le said.

"Wait." Zong Zheng Song Mao stopped them once again.

"What is it again?" Cao Le looked at him in an unsatisfied manner.

"Someone is near." Zong Zheng Song Mao said as he stared at the direction.

"Could it be that someone also found out that the Old Ape is here?"

Everyone turned around to look, saw people that were nearby and raised their alertness.

"Qin Mo and Qin Hong." Zong Zheng Quan said.

"That guy Qin Mo is here too!" Seeing Qin Mo, Cao Le was fuming with rage, he couldn't wait to tear him apart, this showed how bad the connection of the Qin clan and Yin Yang Palace was.

Qin Mo brought people and flew over, they stopped in mid air seeing Yin Yang Palace's members.

Both parties locked their gaze, the atmosphere became more nervous that it seemed like a fight would outbreak anytime.

Chapter 1055:- Digging A Pit For You (3)

Just when the Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng clan thought they couldn't avoid a battle, Mu Wen who was beside Qin Mo reminded, "Master, Old Ape..."

With that, Qin Mo kept his gaze and waved his hand, "Go!"

Qin's clan just walked away suddenly, leaving Yin Yang Palace's members there.

"Young Palace Master, just now Mu Wen mentioned an Old Ape, looks like they already know about the Old Ape being injured." Zong Zheng Song Mao said.

"I heard that." Cao Le stared at Qin Mo's back with murder intentions, "After we finished handling the Auspicious Beast's problems, I'll definitely finish Qin Mo as well!"

Just now when Qin Mo looked at him, it was a look of disdain.

Qin Mo never minded Cao Le at all!

Wasn't he just a little talented? Look at him being all proud!

"Young Palace Master, since they went towards Old Ape, why don't we make use of the time, we might lose to them." Zong Zheng Song Mao continued, "If that auspicious beast is captured by Qin's clan, it will be harder even if we just want a share of it."

"Mm, let's quickly go and find it!" Cao Le ordered them with a dull face, that whole body full of low pressure made everyone in Yin Yang Palace and Zeng Zhong clan atmosphere dulled and quickly aboard the flying beast and flew towards the deep mountain range.

Qin clan realised that they were following and sped up and attempted to shake them off, but Yin Yang Palace's flying beasts were stronger, they kept following behind Qin's clan.

"Master, they're following us." Mu Wen looked back and told Qin Mo.

"It's good that they follow us." Qin Mo continued, "Let them follow, bring them to Old Ape. Contact Qin Men, tell them to get Old Ape ready, we're reaching soon."

"Yes." Mu Wen responded.

Qin Men and Old Ape and the rest were together, after hearing the information from Mu Wen, he told Old Ape, "They are coming. Lure them in the array in a while, once you're out of the range of array, I'll activate it. You have to be fast."

"I know." Old Ape replied and told Little Ten and Little Huang, "You guys just stay here and don't go out, understand?"

Little Ten and Little Huang nodded, they knew there were a lot of human beings out there who were trying to get them, they wouldn't go out at this point if time to trouble their old ancestor even more.

Old Ape already had injuries on him, so he only had to rub some blood on its fur and put on an act of distress, then it could successfully transform into an injured spirit beast.

It flew out and sat on a huge stone, acted like he was treating itself and waited for Yin Yang Palace's members to come.

Qin Mo brought Yin Yang Palace's members along and continued flying forward, when he almost reached his destination, he stopped, turned back to look at Cao Le and said with a cold face, "Cao Le, why are you following me?!"

"This is a vast road and sky, who's following you?" Cao Le continued, "It's just nice that I'm going in this direction."

"You're going this way?" Qin Mo asked while suppressing the anger in his eyes.

"That's right!" Cao Le picked on his chin.

"Hmph, alright then, you go this way, we will go the other way!" Qin Mo said.

"Master, but we receive information that Old Ape is at that direction..." After Qin Hong said that, Qin's clan felt like they were staring at themselves, they were surprised that they accidentally said something they shouldn't.

Mu Wen ruthlessly shot a glance at Qin Hong and told Qin Mo, "Master, Qin Hong is right, if Old Ape is really there, wouldn't we be at a loss if we go this side?"

"Old Ape is not dead, he can move around on its own!" Qin Mo continued, "If we continue leading them, I'm afraid I can't control myself anymore."

"Master..." Mu Wen helplessly looked at Qin Mo, "This is related to Old Ape, it's not easy to get leads, we can't give up."

"Let them take this route, we'll search at the side." Qin Mo continued, "I don't believe that they will find Old Ape first."

Mu Wen saw how firm he was, she could only follow him to the direction he wanted.

Cao Le was stunned when he saw Qin Mo really took his men away.

"Young Palace Master, could this be a trap?" Someone felt odd.

"Young Master, what do you think?" Zong Zheng Quan looked at Zong Zheng Song Mao and asked.

Zong Zheng Song Mao tightened and watched as Qin clan disappeared from his line of vision and said, "It's odd. Young Palace Master, our relationship has always been bad with Qin clan, we have to beware that they might use this to trick us."

"Just with this Qin Mo, he wants to trick me?" Cao Le said scornfully, "That guy is really bad, but he doesn't have the capability to trick me. We'll just take this route and continue walking."

"Young Palace Master, could there be a trap?" Zong Zheng Hai asked hesitantly.

"What trap could there be?" Cao Le continued, "Don't forget, Kong Valley also came from there, that Old Ape could be in this direction. We will continue walking, if you're afraid they set a trap, then just be careful when we're in front."

Zeng Zhong Quan gave it a thought and agreed, Kong Valley's members came from there, where could the Old Ape be if it wasn't from there?

"Let's be careful." Zong Zheng Song Mao said.

Without Qin clan leading the way, they had to be slower, but their direction didn't change, they finally felt Old Ape's breath.

"It's Old Ape's smell, he is indeed right ahead." Yin Yang Palace member's felt Old Ape's breath.

"With such an obvious breath? It's weird." Zong Zheng Hai said.

"What's weird about it." Cao Le continued, "This shows that Old Ape is seriously injured to the extent that it can't control it's breath."

"That's right!"

"Go, let's go and take a look, it's definitely right ahead."

Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng Palace member's excitedly sped up, indeed, Old Ape was right ahead in the mountain valley with his body full of blood.

They felt wasted seeing the blood on the stones, this was the treasure that allowed them to get into Immortal Land, but it was being wasted over here! They really felt like keeping that stone, the blood would definitely be enough to get many people into Immortal Land.

Zong Zheng Hai and the rest stared at Old Ape, making sure that it was really injured and said, "It should be fine, everyone, go get him."

Zong Zheng Clan immediately took the lead and flew over to Old Ape.

Old Ape was initially recuperating, it felt someone near and saw their greedy eyes, it didn't say anything and flew right into the mountain valley. But it was seriously injured so its speed wasn't as fast.

"You're thinking of escaping? Give chase!" Cao Le called out and brought everyone to chase Old Ape.

Qin Men locked on Old Ape's position, once he left the mountain valley, he immediately fixed up the array in the valley, in a flash, the whole mountain valley was shrouded in a thick fog and nothing like the likes of an array could be seen from the outside.

Chapter 1056:- Digging A Pit For You (4)

Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng Clan members felt a chill when the Old Ape who kept escaping finally stopped.

"All you vile human beings, you've been chasing me nonstop, what do you exactly want?!" Old Ape shouted.

"You don't know what we want?" Cao Le and the rest stopped too, the group of people surrounded Old Ape.

"I've already given you human beings the blood, you can go and take it from them, why do you still want to keep chasing me?!" Old Ape said angrily and congealed spiritual energy from its body, while shouting at those people.

The airflow around it became chaotic, as a hurricane surrounded the whole mountain valley.

"Old Ape, you want to fight with us even when you're this injured now?" Zong Zheng Quan walked nearer to Old Ape and said, "You have to come with us today, if you don't, you still have to."

"Little human beings like you guys want to fight me?! Hmph! Even though I'm injured, you guys are definitely no match for me!" Old Ape exclaimed and charged towards them without saying too much.

Zong Zheng Clan and members of Yin Yang Palace were not to be trifled with, one by one they counter attacked, the mountain valley was glistened with the rays of lights by every type of spiritual skills.

Outside the mountain valley, Old Ape and Qin Men were standing together, hearing the battle cries coming from the valley, it could imagine what kind of scene was in the thick smoke.

"This Illusion Array is amazing!" Although it knew human being's arrays were amazing, seeing it with Old Ape's own eyes still shocked him.

Ever since Sima You Yue knew its body had injuries, she changed the plan of having it to battle with members from Yin Yang Palace, after communicating for a while, they decided to let it lure them into the arrays and started an Illusion Array and got them to kill one another.

"It's indeed amazing." Qin Men murmured, "I didn't expect his arrays are so amazing!"

Even though it was an Illusion Array, it would have different effects, not all Array Masters would be able to get many people to have the same illusion.

From what they knew, Sima You Yue didn't know about arrays in her past life, so they deduced that she only touched arrays in this lifetime.

This talent really of hers really made them feel inferior!

After a while, Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu came, Qin Mo and Kong Xiang Yi came too.

"Are they all inside already?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Mm, they are all inside." Qin Men nodded.

Sima You Yue looked at the thick smoke and heard all the screams coming from inside, the scenes of Ximen Clan's extermination appeared before her eyes.

Wu Lingyu felt the cold air seeping from her body, he extended his hand and stopped her by her shoulders.

After some time, the sound from inside became softer, most of the people got killed, except for some that fought hard.

"Young Master, most of our members are dead." One of Zong Zheng Quan's arms was dismembered, his other hand held onto his wound, his other wounds were also bleeding profusely.

"Why do I feel that our fighting strength has decreased by so much? Zong Zheng Song Mao frowned while looking at the few people left.

"Young Master, we don't have any more energy to care if our fighting strength has decreased, he's attacking us again, ah..."

A ray of silver lights flew towards him, he waved his arm in preparation to attack, but that light seemed as if it took a turn and cut off his other arm. Followed by a ball of flame from nowhere wrapping him up, he became a bunch of ashes quickly.

"What is happening, why does it feel like we're not only attacked by Old Ape alone?" Zong Zheng Hai came beside and told Zong Zheng Song Mao.

"Indeed." Zong Zheng Song Mao continued, "Do you feel something's not right here?"

"Seems like it, but I don't know how to put it." Zong Zheng Hai said.

Zong Zheng Song Mao knitted his eyebrows when he saw that the people were getting lesser.

He also felt something was not right, but he couldn't point it out.

"Zong Zheng Song Mao, why are you still standing there?!" Cao Le shouted at him when he saw Zong Zheng Song Mao staring at blank space while he couldn't take the attacks anymore.

Zong Zheng Song Mao lifted his head seeing that he couldn't take it anymore, his eyes shifted and didn't move an inch.

"Zong Zheng Song Mao, what do you mean by that?" Yin Yang Palace members asked grimly when they watched him standing there.

"It's your Young Palace Master, you guys still don't want to go and save him?" Zong Zheng Song Mao said sarcastically.

"What do you mean by our Young Palace Master? Zong Zheng Song Mao, are you intending to betray?"

Zong Zheng Song Mao faintly shot a glance at him and said, "Yes, so what?"

"What a nerve! Zong Zheng Clan indeed has a bad motive, Young Palace Master shouldn't have trusted you guys!"

"Young Master Zong Zheng, let's not talk about others, let's quickly save Young Palace Master first! We're all close knitted like family!"

"Close knit like family?" Zong Zheng Song Mao continued, "You guys always ask the Zong Zheng Clan to fight in the front line, treating us like scapegoats, why didn't you say we're close knitted like family at that point of time? When did you ever treat us like family?"

"Zong Zheng Song Mao, you Zong Zheng Clan better don't dig your own grave!"

"Really?" Once Zong Zheng Song Mao didn't move, his members did't move as well.

"You guys have the audacity to act this way, when we get back, we'll definitely report this matter to the Palace Master! We'll see how you Zong Zheng Clan escape when the time comes!"

"Do you think that you still have the chance to go back to notify?" Zong Zheng Song Mao sneered.

Those people felt danger coming and took a step back and said, "What are you guys trying to do?"

"What are we trying to do? Isn't it obvious?" Zong Zheng Song Mao laughed grimly and gave others goosebumps.

"Hmph, with this situation, you guys can't escape as well, might as well fight against the Old Ape with us then talk about it later!" Someone with a clearer vision of what was happening, said.

Zong Zheng Song Mao didn't talk, but he didn't do anything to Yin Yang Palace's members as well.

"ah--"

Cao Le flew with a slap from old ape and landed on the floor heavily.

"Young Palace Master!"

Yin Yang Palace's members all flew over, a few of them went to help Cao Le, the others went to block old ape's attacks.

"ah--"

A strong blow exploded and exploded those people into pieces.

"Wait, that kind of strength wasn't from Old Ape! the one that attacked us isn't old ape!" Zong Zheng Song Mao called out.

"It isn't Old Ape?"

Everyone glanced at Old Ape, undoubtedly it was his attacks, why did someone say it wasn't old ape's?

"Those attacks are your own, the attacks will be gone when everyone stops moving!" Zong Zheng Song Mao shouted.

Yin Yang Palace's members were blown up by that strong explosion, some were seriously injured on the ground, the only ones left standing were from the Zong Zheng Clan. Once Zong Zheng Song Mao spoke, they all stopped moving.

Although that Old Ape was still there, it stopped moving.

"It actually stopped!"

"That old ape is fake!"

"What is exactly happening?"

Everyone was shocked, Zong Zheng Song Mao was the first one who came back to senses.

"We went into an array. If I didn't guess wrongly, this is an Illusion Array!"

"Hahaha.... Young Master Zong Zheng is indeed wittier than others!" with that laughter, the thick fog that shrouded the valley slowly dispersed.

Chapter 1057:- Digging A Pit For You (5)

As the smoke dispersed, the illusion array's effect disappeared as well, the scenery didn't change, but that Old Ape went missing.

Zong Zheng Song Mao raised his eyes and saw a group of people standing on the peak of the mountain with Old Ape in the middle.

But this Old Ape was different from the one they saw previously, although he had the same look, his body didn't have any injuries.

"That one just now indeed wasn't you!" Zong Zheng Song Mao grimly said, "Who are you guys?"

Ximen Feng took out the mask, looked at Zong Zheng Song Mao and said, "Haven't seen you for twenty over years, you don't recognise me?"

Zong Zheng Song Mao saw Ximen Feng, his body jolted and said, "Ximen Feng? How can it be you? How is it possible that you..."

"How is it possible that I'm alive?" Ximen Feng continued, "Your facial expression shows a lot of shock, hehe...."

"Didn't the Ximen clan members all die?" The shock on Zong Zheng Hai's face wasn't any lesser than Zong Zheng Song Mao, they themselves participated in what happened in the past, everyone was also killed by them, even leading people to chase Ximen You Yue and Ximen Feng was also them!

He saw with his own eyes that he was killed and fell into Heartbreak Valley, how did he not die?!

"Zeng Zhong Hai, seeing your facial expression brings so much joy!" Ximen Feng said.

"Ximen Feng! Your Ximen clan are already exterminated, I didn't expect that you're still alive." Zong Zheng Hai shouted.

"Of course I have to be alive temporarily, if not, how do I get my revenge from you?" Ximen Feng stared at them ruthlessly, "The hatred from those years, I'll settle it a little at a time!"

"Just base on you, this little guy? You might be indulging in your own fantasy too much!" Zong Zheng Hai said in disdain.

"Am I really indulging in my own fantasy?" Ximen Feng sneered, "I wonder what are you feeling now? Does killing one another of your own feel good?"

"It's indeed your doings!" Yin Yang Palace disciples supported Cao Le by their arms, stood up and said, "What did you do to us?!"

"Actually we didn't do much, just letting you feel how it felt like in the Illusion Array." Ximen Feng said.

"Illusion array, how did you all adopt such a powerful array!" Zong Zheng Hai cried out in surprise.

"You don't need to worry about that." Kong Xiang Yi said.

Zong Zheng Song Mao then shifted his attention to Kong Xiang Yi and Qin Mo.

"Kong Xiang Yi, Qin Mo, you guys planned this! You guys are avenging the Ximen Clan!" Cao Le continued, "You guys want to stir up a battle on Yin Yang Palace, Qin Clan and Kong Valley?"

"Like what you said, if we leave you here, who will find out who did this?" Kong Xiang Yi said, "Don't worry, I'll send the Auspicious Beast's blood to you."

Zong Zheng Song Mao sharply felt there was something wrong, "What do you mean?"

"Take a guess!" Kong Xiang Yi beamed while looking at them.

Zong Zheng Song Mao glared at her and said, "You guys want to send the Auspicious Beast's blood that you guys did something to it, send it to my clan, make them unable to step into Immortal Land and get happy for nothing."

"Not bad, you're indeed Zong Zheng clan's gifted Young Master." Kong Xiang Yi continued, "But, you didn't guess right completely, you didn't get the ending correct."

Zong Zheng Song Mao squinted his eyes, he shot a glare that was as poisonous as venom.

"What do you guys exactly plan to do?" Cao Le asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Ximen Feng continued, "Although there's a saying to die contentedly, but I love to see you guys die with remaining grievances."

"Pfff--"

Sima You Yue laughed, Feng'er's words were the same as what she was thinking.

She also liked seeing them die with remaining grievances.

"Hmph, you guys want to keep us here, you sound like a totally lunatic ravings!" Zong Zheng Hai sneered.

Although they have been seriously injured, if they want to escape, it wasn't hopeless if they went all out.

"You guys think that you can just go all out and fight with us so you can escape, right?" Ximen Feng voiced Zong Zheng Hai's idea, "Do you think you can go out once you step into this mountain valley? If it's not for absolute certainty, do you guys think that we will let you know who we are?"

"What did you guys do?" Zong Zheng Song Mao questioned.

"With an Array Master here, we don't even need to use our hands to fight against you!" Kong Xiang Yi adulated Sima You Yue, with ample spaces, an Array Master could kill and made it seem invisible easily!

Someone comprehended their meaning and flew out of the mountain valley but was blocked by a formless wall in mid air.

"Spirit barrier array!" Cao Le cried out.

"You're that person from dark forest! You're Sima You Yue!" Zong Zheng Song Mao said while looking at Sima You Yue.

Sima You Yue smiled, "Smart, if it's not for the blood fuel we have, I'd like to make friends with you."

"It's really you! To my surprise you're together with Ximen Feng!" Zong Zheng Song Mao was astonished, he wondered why would Ximen Feng and her be together.

"Of course we have to be together, he's my brother." Sima You Yue continued, "We come hand in hand today to avenge for our Ximen clan!"

"You're from the Ximen clan too?!"

"That's right!" Sima You Yue continued, "We used to be close and we even had a meal together, but, I don't think you'll want to know who I am!"

"Had a meal together? You are..."

Zong Zheng Song Mao hadn't finished his sentence, Sima You Yue penetrated a ray of spiritual energy in the array, the whole space began to shake that stopped him from talking.

Sima You Yue knew he guessed her identity, she saw the shock on his face, the corner of her lips held a slight smile and her eyes gradually filled with killing intent.

"I changed this array a little, now this Dragon Trapping Array has become a Dragon Killing Array! I'll let you experience the change of effect today!"

As the killing array started, white rays of light shot out from every direction, those people with lesser strength were hacked into many pieces by the white rays.

Those with higher strengths, like Zong Zheng Song Mao, Zong Zheng Hai and the rest used their full strength, at least they could hold it for a while. But, killing array's formidable power was far more powerful than they thought, quickly, there wasn't anyone that remained standing in the mountain valley.

Sima You Yue undo the array, everyone flew down and found two people that were still catching their breaths.

"Zong Zheng Clan and Yin Yang Palace, one each." Kong Xiang Yi and Ximen Feng said as they held one each.

Sima You Yue took out two bottles that were prepared before everything happened, passed to them and said, "Thanks for the trouble."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely send these to your doorstep." After Kong Xiang Yi spoke, Ximen Feng and her held onto that two person, opened up the spatial tunnel and left.

"So, what do we do next?" Old Ape asked.

.

Chapter 1058:- Digging A Pit For You (6)

Sima You Yue looked at the mountain range. With a single thought, three Golden Snake Fruit appeared in front of everyone.

"This, this is.." The Old Ape looked at the Golden Snake Fruits. He was speechless with excitement.

Sima You Yue chuckled. "This the Golden Snake Fruits, three of them as agreed upon. Now to fulfill the agreement, I will give them to you."

The Old Ape took the Golden Snake Fruit. His hands shook. He had pursued the Golden Snake Fruit for a lifetime, now his wish was finally fulfilled.

"I only did a few things..." He couldn't believe it. He originally thought she would ask a lot from him. But he didn't expect for her to ask so little of him.

Sima You Yue rolled her eyes, "You stored this well. I'll heal you when I come back."

"Thank you." The Old Ape suppressed the joy in his heart. He collected the Golden Snake Fruits and went with Sima You Yue to pick up Little Ten and Little Huang.

Both the Old Ape and Little Huang could transform into human form, but Little Ten couldn't. If he appeared in the city like this, he would definitely be recognized at a glance. Then maybe a hundred forces will immediately go seize him.

"How about I transform into a human." Little Ten suggested. "I just need to go through a tribulation."

"No!" Little Huang suddenly shouted, looking nervously at Little Ten. "You should be alright like this."

"What's the matter?" Sima You Yue was confused. Why did little Huang's reaction like that?

"Our line was originally small. In the past we were also three people. Later, one of us went through a tribulation and did not survive..." The Old Ape explained.

"If I can transform into a human form, it'll be less troublesome to do stuff in the future. Isn't it just a tribulation. Uncle Little Huang, don't worry." Little Ten smiled.

"That won't do!" Little Huang firmly opposed.

Little Ten turned his pleading gaze to the Old Ape who shook his head, disapproving of his transformation. "The number of our lineage is very small, in case something went wrong..."

"Old ancestor, you must believe in me." Little Ten pleaded. "I don't want to be a burden to you."

"Little Ten..."

"Ahem, that, for the sake that we two come from the same continent, I will help you pass the tribulation." Sima You Yue offered.

"Help me pass the tribulation? How to help? I don't want to become your contracted beast!" Little Ten stated his conditions.

Sima You Yue was speechless for a while. Even if it wanted to follow her, she would not accept it.

"How can you help him pass the tribulation?" The Old Ape asked.

"When the time comes, you will know..."

One day later, in the depths of the Xisha Mountain Range, in the habitat of sparrowhawks, the clear sky was suddenly clouded. All the sparrowhawks flew to the surroundings, away from the scope of the heavenly tribulation.

In the valley below the tribulation cloud, Little Ten stood alone in the middle of the valley. He looked at the tribulation cloud in the sky, recalling what Sima You Yue told him.

"The array I set up for you can give you power to block part of the lightning tribulation . Although it is not much, it offsets some of it every time. The effect is not small. Then this is the pill I refined for you to quickly restore your spirit power. The pill is especially prepared for spirit beasts undergoing tribulation. I will give these to you today. And then these things are spirit tools refined by my friends to resist lightning tribulation , you can use it for yourself..."

He clenched the pill in his hand and his heart thumped rapidly. He was worried that she would take advantage of the tribulation to force him to sign a contract with her. Thinking about it now, his thoughts were ridiculous. She already possessed so many good things, how could she be interested in him!

However, now getting a lot of things from her, there shouldn't be any problem to pass the tribulation!

The tribulation cloud sensed a spirit beast was able to pass a tribulation. When he came over, he found Sima You Yue with a bright smile in the distance.

"Hi, little fellow. This is my friend, in a while you'll have to take it easy!"

The Cloud Spirit was above a cloud. It almost rolled off it.

"Why does this fella always make problems for it?!

It was thinking about not paying attention to her when she immediately attracted it's attention with fine wine.

"I have a lot of fruit wine here, and they're freshly brewed. Very good, you can have it after you finish!"

The Cloud Spirit fiercely blew out a gust of water. It got its two small feets together and kept muttering, "Hateful! Hateful! You purposely attract me again! I must resist the temptation! But, but- I really want to drink!"

The Old Ape and Little Huang watched Sima You Yue talk to the tribulation cloud. They wondered whether there was any use?

In their hearts, the answer was naturally no, but when they saw the power of the tribulation cloud, they were stunned.

"Is this really the tribulation lightning?" Little Huang murmured.

"This... this must be!" The Old Ape was not sure, but those thunders were indeed striking Little Ten. What was it if it wasn't the transformation lightning tribulation ?!

But this amount of power they really couldn't relate to the tribulation lightning. If that was the power of the tribulation lightning back then, that clan member wouldn't have died.

After experiencing such a large lightning tribulation, that tribulation lightning was nothing in Sima You Yue's eyes. To be precise, it was also nothing in the Purple Top Grade Lightning's eyes' either.

But this guy was ecstatic when he saw the Cloud Spirit. He kept rolling in the lightning dantian.

Sima You Yue sensed its thoughts. She was speechless and directly refused. But that guy was making trouble in the lightning dantian, so she could only agree to give him some snacks.

"I want to go up and have a look." Sima You Yue said.

"Where to?" Wu Lingyu asked.

Sima You Yue glanced at the tribulation cloud and everyone understood her intentions.

"To the top of the tribulation cloud?" The Old Ape and Little Huang looked at her in surprise.

"Mm, this guy is making a ruckus in the lightning dantian." Sima You Yue replied.

"Go ahead." Wu Lingyu said.

He could participate in her affair, but only this, he wouldn't dare to touch it.

Sima You Yue flew on top of the tribulation cloud and sat beside the Cloud Spirit. Because it was not within the range of the lightning tribulation, it did not aggravate Little Ten's lightning tribulation.

The Old Ape and Little Huang stared at her in a daze, their jaws dropping to the ground.

"I'm here to bring you something." Sima You Yue took out a lot of spirit wine and placed it on the cloud.

The Cloud Spirit saw these and leap forward happily. Its eyes were bright like a cat who stole a fish.

Sima You Yue took out a sober pill and let the lightning and thunder enter her body for food for her purple top grade lightning.

The Cloud Spirit took the pill and took out a jar of wine that it saved. It gulped half of it.

"How is it, it tastes good?" Sima You Yue grinned.

The cloud spirit vigorously nodded. Really good!

"Then what gift are you giving me?" Sima You Yue asked.

The Cloud Spirit rolled its eyes and ran into the depths of the clouds. When it saw that Sima You Yue was not following, it waved its small hands at her.

Chapter 1059:- Lightning Spirit Fluid

Sima You Yue could tell that the Cloud Spirit was calling her to go over. When she saw the increasingly strong sparks of lightning in the cloud, she frowned.

If she followed, wouldn't she be struck to death?

"Come on! If you don't come, there will be no gifts!" When the Cloud Spirit noticed Sima You Yue was motionless, it urged, "Do you not dare?"

Sima You Yue rubbed her chin. "Look at this electric current, I'm afraid if someone will be scorched if they come close to it."

"Tch, that's for ordinary people. Don't worry, with the guy in your body, even if you go inside the cloud center, you won't be electrocuted." The Cloud Spirit continued on after saying that.

The guy in the lightning dantian turned over excitedly when he saw the sizzling electric current deep within the clouds.

Sima You Yue noticed that the lightning dantian had become more and more dynamic. She had to satisfy the needs of the purple top grade lightning. "Alright, I'll come over."

As soon as she said that, the purple top grade lightning calmed down.

"What an annoying fellow, if I get electrocuted, your host will be gone." She murmured and followed the Cloud Spirit to the depths of the clouds.

Sima You Yue used to think that in the depths of the clouds should be getting darker. But in fact, as she got closer to the center it was lighter in color, and it gradually turned white again.

The Cloud Spirit jumped on to the cloud and looked back at her.

Sima You Yue followed it to the cloud. She discovered that this cloud was much denser than the others. There was a special feeling when she stepped on it.

"Now, you can take a bottle of this." The cloud spirit came before a small pond.

Sima You Yue leaned over and saw a basin sized pit in the clouds. There was some transparent fluid in the small pit.

How could there be liquid in such a place?

"What is this?" Sima You Yue asked.

"This is the lightning spirit fluid." The cloud spirit answered.

"You want to give that to me? What's the use of this thing?" Sima You Yue peered down at the cloud spirit.

"No use." The Cloud Spirit gazed at the lightning spirit fluid as if looking at a glass of boiled water.

"..." Sima You Yue shot a glance at it. "You want to give me such a useless thing as a gift?"

"It's useless to me, but for humans, it's like the treasure of heaven and earth!" The Cloud Spirit rolled its eyes. "If you take a drop, it is equivalent to you absorbing ten years of the lightning attribute."

"So amazing?!" Sima You Yue was surprised, looking at the Cloud Spirit with her mouth agape.

"Humph, of course!" The Cloud Spirit said triumphantly. "This is the essence left behind after a lightning tribulation. And this also has other uses."

"Such as?"

"Although this is lightning spirit fluid, it doesn't have the aggressiveness of the lightning attribute spirit power. So if ordinary people take this, there won't be any problems. It can even transform their bodies." The cloud spirit explained.

"So this has no effect on me." Sima You Yue shrugged.

"...: The Cloud Spirit narcissistically rolled its eyes at her and continued, "Although this has no effect on you, but you can increase your spirit power by eating this? If you disdain me, then I won't give it to you!"

"Don't!" Sima You Yue quickly grabbed the Cloud Spirit. "This thing is of no use to me, but it's definitely useful for people around me. I have to keep such a good thing."

"Humph, besides what I just said, there are other great uses!" The Cloud Spirit kicked out its small limbs. Its cute appearance reminded her of Little Roar.

"What other use is there?" Sima You Yue asked.

The Cloud Spirit broke free from her hands. "How would I know?! I don't care about your human affairs. If you want to know, go understand it yourself."

"Such a precious thing, I can't waste it on experimentation." Sima You Yue took out a bottle and collected the lightning spirit fluid. "This thing has been there since ancient times. I will go investigate the ancient books. It may be written there. Even if it doesn't, it's good to use to reshape our bodies."

Her body had been transformed by lightning. She knew what it had looked like before being changed. So she wanted to transform the people around her. In the past, she was afraid that they would hurt from the lightning, but with lightning spirit fluid, she was not afraid.

The Cloud Spirit gave her a surprised look. "You're not going to keep it for yourself? This is a rare stuff!"

"A person can develop on their own while alive, but I think it's better to have family members. So of course the good things must be shared with the family." Sima You Yue said.

"Your thoughts are a little different from others." The Cloud Spirit couldn't understand her. "The way I see it, one should keep the good things for themselves, and don't think about others."

"That's why we have different ideas!"

She put all the lightning spirit fluid in bottles, a dozen of jade finger-sized bottles. Every bottle would be a huge wealth in the future!

After she finished, she looked at the cloud spirit. "Is there anymore?"

"No more here. Other clones have it." The cloud spirit replied.

"Other clones? Then the next time you see me, call another clone out." Sima You Yue put away the lightning spirit fluid and pinched its ears.

The Cloud Spirit avoided her hand. "You have so many, why do you want more!"

"Good things are always too little!" Sima You Yue took out a jar of wine and took a sip by herself, then handed it to the Cloud Spirit. "Will you find it too little?"

"Hmph." The cloud spirit jumped into the wine jar unscrupulously and began to drink.

Sima You Yue sat on the clouds and continued, "Furthermore, this thing is useless to you, isn't it? It's better to give it to me which can provide it better use. I'll get you fruit wine after the big deal."

"That's what you said." The Cloud Spirit stretched its small head from the wine jar and stared at Sima You Yue.

"Of course I will." Sima You Yue approached with a smile. "Apart from this, do you have any good things?"

"Yes, but you can't get it." The cloud spirit said.

"What else?"

"Higher level lightning spirit fluid. At a more inner position, you can't go in yet." The cloud spirit pointed to the depths of the tribulation cloud.

"Didn't you say that I would be fine at the cloud center." Sima You Yue asked.

"My statement is an exaggeration. You won't need to be afraid when the guy in your body grows up." The Cloud Spirit explained.

Sima You Yue looked at the depths of the clouds reluctantly. "Can't you help me get it out?"

"If you want, take it yourself. I won't help you get it!" The cloud spirit crawled out from the wine jar. "Alright, I'm done. I'm going back. You quickly get down from here."

"Alright. I can't get it now. But you can keep it for me!" Sima You Yue said.

"Except you, no one has such a thick-skin." After the Cloud Spirit finished, its body bounced up, knocking Sima You Yue down. Then it drove away in his tribulation cloud.

Sima You Yue stood steady in the air. She rubbed her butt and smiled.

That being said, that guy would keep it for her.

Chapter 1060:- Abduct

The Cloud Spirit had already finished, but because he was talking to Sima You Yue, he left late.

The Old Ape and Little Huang looked at the tribulation cloud who had yet to leave. They were getting worried.

Was it done or not?

Little Ten counted the number of thunder and lightning it endured. It should be over. Why hadn't this tribulation cloud left? Could there be even more powerful lightning tribulations that he didn't know about?

Amidst everyone's worries, they finally saw Sima You Yue come out of the tribulation cloud. Then the tribulation cloud patted its butt and left.

As soon as the tribulation cloud left, the transformation light immediately enclosed Little Ten. The Old Ape and them were finally relieved.

Sima You Yue flew over. The Old Ape and them looked at her like a monster.

"Are you okay?" Wu Lingyu caught her and asked.

The time she stayed in the tribulation cloud was quite long, different from before.

"I'm fine." Sima You Yue chuckled. She turned to Little Ten who was in the valley. "I don't know what he'll look like after transformation."

The Old Ape came over and bowed. Sima You Yue quickly helped him up. "Old Ape, what are you doing?!"

"Thank you, if it weren't for you, Little Ten would not be successful." The Old Ape sincerely thanked her.

"You can thank me after I heal your body." Sima You Yue smiled.

"Young Master, you're an eye-opener for us! We have never witnessed such a transformation from a lightning tribulation." A man with a hooked nose came over and looked at Sima You Yue incredibly.

If their people transformed under such circumstances, what was there to worry about?

"Sparrowhawk king." Sima You Yue nodded to the sparrowhawk king.

"Young Master, that, uhh, hmm..." The sparrowhawk king glanced at Sima You Yue embarrassedly.

"Do you want me to help you clan members transform?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Yes." The sparrowhawk king answered. "We have several clan members who are preparing to transform, including my daughter. But our success rate was not high, and many clan members during the process of transformation..."

"That's easy to handle." Sima You Yue replied. "But wait until I deal with this matter."

"Okay! Okay!" The sparrowhawk king nodded repeatedly, very excitedly.

The light that wrapped Little Ten slowly faded. A neat young man appeared in front of everyone.

Little Ten excitedly looked at his hands. He pulled his clothes vigorously and flew over to them.

"Old ancestor!" Little Ten looked at the Old Ape, like a child waiting to be praised.

"Good, good." The Old Ape nodded with a smile.

"Since you successfully transformed, let's prepare to heal Old Ape's injury." Sima You Yue said. "You can't let this injury drag you down. So it's better to get healed sooner."

"Mm."

"Sparrowhawk king, find us a quiet place." Sima You Yue said.

"In my clan's territory, other spirit beasts don't dare to make trouble." The sparrowhawk king said.

"I want it to be absolutely quiet. No one can bother us." Sima You Yue said. "Not even your clan members."

"Then go to my lair." The sparrowhawk king offered. "Without my order, no clan members dare to go there at will."

"Alright." Sima You Yue nodded. "Old Ape and I will go alone. You guys wait here."

"Mm."

"Do we need to do anything?" Little Huang asked.

"No. If those people can't find you, they'll naturally leave. As for the Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng Clan, Feng'er and Xiang Yi will deal with them."

Then she and the Old Ape followed the sparrowhawk king to his lair.

Because the sparrowhawk king was quite large, his lair was also large and it was semi-enclosed.

Sima You Yue was slightly surprised when she saw the magnificent design.

"Young Master, this is my lair. You'll go inside and I'll guard outside." The sparrowhawk king said.

"Then I must trouble you." Sima You Yue nodded. "Old Ape, let's go in."

"Please."

The sparrowhawk king watched them go in. He sighed to himself. This master would have a boundless future. Then he meditated under the tree waiting for them to exit.

Wu Lingyu also came over. When the sparrowhawk king saw that it was him, he didn't try to stop him.

Wu Lingyu stood under the tree, a dozen feet away from the sparrowhawk king. He gazed at the lair of the sparrowhawk king.

In order to not be disturbed, Sima You Yue arranged a spirit barrier around the lair. From this distance, he could faintly see the outline of the upper half of Sima You Yue and the Old Ape.

Others also followed. They did not dare to get closed and could only wait beside the large tree.

Wu Lingyu and Qin Mo didn't care much for this. But the time Little Ten and Little Huang waited felt so long.

Three days later, the barrier outside the lair was removed. Everyone who was waiting looked up. They first saw Sima You Yue who appeared a little tired and the Old Ape with a radiant face.

"You You!" Wu Lingyu quickly flew over to Sima You Yue. "How are you?"

"It's nothing. I'm just a little tired. It can recover with rest." Sima You Yue's pale face had a faint smile.

"I'll take you to rest." Wu Lingyu said.

"Mm." Sima You Yue replied. "Old Ape, you can consider what I told you before. If you don't want to, then you can take them away from Xisha mountain range as soon as possible. After all, there are so many dangerous people outside."

"I will think about it." The Old Ape said.

"I hope I can see you again when I come out from resting. Senior Brother, let's go." Sima You Yue said.

Wu Lingyu led Sima You Yue away. Then Little Ten and Little Huang finally dared to go up.

Just when they saw Sima You Yue's pale face, and the pressure they felt made them afraid to breathe.

"Old ancestor, how was it?" Little Huang asked.

"I'm completely healed." The Old Ape said excitedly.

"Really?!" Little Huang grabbed his hand excitedly.

"The injury had held him back for so many years. He had tried to find some alchemists and he paid a lot but did not see any results. Unexpectedly, Sima You Yue really cured him.

"Old ancestor, what did she say?" Little Ten asked.

The Old Ape eyes' sank, thinking of what Sima You Yue told him.

That was what she told him after the treatment.

She said that Golden Snake Fruit is the key to evolution for your race. If you follow me, I can provide you with more Golden Snake Fruit.

"You want me to join your force?" He asked.

Sima You Yue smiled, "I believe you will make the right choice."

Afterwards, she walked out in a leisurely but poised manner that left a deep impression.
