Chapter 800: Valley Appears
The cave dwelling of this Heavenly Extreme Sect Elder Lu was also very simple.
After Han Li walked through a passage more than twenty zhang long, he arrived at the main hall of the cave dwelling, a stone room seven or eight zhang in size. In the room stood a gray-haired old man with a kind face and a middle-aged man with a high crown, who were welcoming Han Li.
"Daoist Han, you have finally arrived." The gray-haired old man greeted with a smile.
"Brother Han has kept the two of us waiting for a long time. We each sent people to search for more than a month in this place. It's a pity that Brother Han is elusive, and we couldn't find a trace at all. We almost thought Brother Han had changed his mind!" Nan Long Hou said with a bitter smile, but a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.
"The places where the two Daoist friends live are so hidden, it was not an easy task for me to search for them either. And not long ago, I happened to be in seclusion for a period of time. It is normal that the two Daoist friends couldn't find me." Han Li sighed and explained helplessly.
Then he didn't stand on ceremony, and while talking with the two, they sat down together.
"Brother Han's reputation is now in full swing. Not only did you shine in the border war, but it is said that a mid-Nascent Soul stage elder of the Jin Kingdom's demonic sect even fell into Brother Han's hands. Brother Han has such magical powers, you hid it from me for so long." As soon as Han Li sat down, Nan Long Hou said with a strange expression.
"How are my magical powers? Nan Long Brother, you haven't seen them. If I really had such great magical powers, I wouldn't have fled in panic in the Mulan grassland that day. My current reputation is just obtained by luck. If it weren't for some good fortune, I wouldn't be able to appear in front
Elder Lu and Marquis Lord Nanlong could not help but exchange a glance after hearing Han Li's words, both of them becoming somewhat skeptical.
With their spiritual sense, they could naturally see clearly that Han Li's cultivation base was still at the early Nascent Soul stage. The two of them also knew that Han Li was extraordinary and not an ordinary early Nascent Soul stage cultivator. However, the fact that Han Li could kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, or perhaps even a peak mid-stage one, still made it somewhat hard for the two to believe.
But the rumors about Han Li outside were spreading everywhere, and his reputation was terrifyingly large, which could not help but make the two feel doubtful. That was why they displayed such expressions.
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Han is too modest. Actually, the greater your divine abilities, Fellow Daoist, the greater the help will be for our trip to the Fallen Devil Valley. The two of us wish that your cultivation base could be comparable to the three great cultivators." Marquis Lord Nanlong gave a dry laugh and said somewhat insincerely.
Hearing this, Han Li chuckled. He did not dwell on this matter to say anything else.
Elder Lu on the other side said in a deep voice:
"Since Brother Han is willing to seek us out, it seems you have considered the previous suggestion clearly. Are you willing to enter the valley and kill that ancient fire toad with us?"
Hearing the old man ask this, Marquis Lord Nanlong also stared at Han Li, his face showing a solemn expression.
"With such a good opportunity, Han Mou does not want to let it go easily either. It is just that before I truly make a decision, I still must ask one question. After we succeed, how will we divide the treasures from the ancient cultivator's remains? If it can satisfy Han Mou, then taking the risk to make the trip is no matter." Han Li did not reveal any strangeness on his face and replied unhurriedly.
Although he was definitely going to the Fallen Devil Valley, he did not reveal any hint of his intentions now, so that he could bargain with the other party.
"If we truly successfully obtain the treasures, how about the three of us divide them equally?" This question had obviously been pondered by Marquis Lord Nanlong and the old man countless times. As soon as Han Li's question left his mouth, the old man replied without the slightest hesitation.
Han Li did not immediately agree or show an expression of dissatisfaction, but instead pondered for a moment before slowly saying:
"Dividing the treasures equally among the three of us is indeed fair. After all, without the two Fellow Daoists to lead the way, I would be unable to penetrate deep into the valley, let alone talk about finding that fire toad beast to take the treasure. However, Han Mou still has one condition, and I hope the two Fellow Daoists will agree."
"If Fellow Daoist Han has a condition, just say it!" Elder Lu's expression was as usual, and he said without any strangeness.
Marquis Lord Nanlong's expression flickered, but he stared at Han Li without saying anything.
"The inner core of that ancient fire toad beast must be left to me. I have some small use for it." When Han Li spoke of the fire toad inner core, he appeared nonchalant, as if he only wanted to take a small advantage.
"No problem! We still have to rely on you, Fellow Daoist, to eliminate the beast. It is only natural that the inner core belongs to you, Fellow Daoist." Elder Lu felt relieved and agreed readily.
"Not bad, even if you didn't say it, as long as you take action, Fellow Daoist, this inner core should have belonged to you in the first place." Marquis Lord Nanlong's expression also relaxed, appearing as if this matter was easy to discuss.
Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly: "Since the two Fellow Daoists have agreed so generously, Han Mou is not a greedy person either. Han Mou will make the trip with the two of you."
"With Fellow Daoist Han entering the valley with us, this trip will definitely be able to successfully obtain the treasures."
"Indeed, we must rely heavily on Brother Han."
Seeing Han Li agree, Marquis Lord Nanlong and the old man could not hide their excitement and spoke one after another.
"The two Fellow Daoists flatter me too much. I am very clear about my own cultivation base. This time entering the valley, it should still be the two Fellow Daoists as the main force, and Han Mou as the support. Furthermore, only if the three of us cooperate with all our might can we possibly retreat unscathed." Han Li naturally would not be deceived by their few words of flattery and said with a light laugh.
"That is natural. Since we invited Fellow Daoist Han to cooperate, it is definitely because we trust you, which is why we invited you. If those treacherous villains from the Ghost Spirit Sect obtained the Yin-Yang Rings, this Marquis would directly kill them to seize the treasures." As soon as Marquis Lord Nanlong mentioned the Ghost Spirit Sect, he still appeared somewhat gnashing his teeth. It seemed the loss he suffered last time was indeed too great.
Hearing these words, Han Li could not help but scan Marquis Lord Nanlong's face once more.
Marquis Lord Nanlong appeared fine on the surface, but it was unknown how much of his original lost vital energy had actually recovered.
"Speaking of the Ghost Spirit Sect, I wonder what the two Fellow Daoists think about the Ghost Spirit Sect providing the method to enter the valley?" Han Li changed the subject and took the opportunity to bring up the Ghost Spirit Sect.
"Hehe, what could we think? This time it just slightly disrupted the Ghost Spirit Sect's wishful thinking of monopolizing the treasures. Now that other cultivators have entered the valley, it not only concealed the tracks of the three of us but also avoided the danger of being besieged by the Ghost Spirit Sect in the valley." Marquis Lord Nanlong said with a cold laugh, a strange expression flashing across his face.
"Listening to Brother Lord Nanlong's meaning, could it be that the news of the Ghost Spirit Sect knowing the method to enter the valley was deliberately spread by the two of you?" Han Li was slightly stunned.
"This matter was indeed arranged by us. I already knew that the Ghost Spirit Sect was also researching the method to enter the valley before I went to the Great Grasslands. Since they suddenly turned hostile and plotted against this Marquis, naturally this Marquis would not be polite either." Marquis Lord Nanlong said with a gloomy face, not intending to hide this matter from Han Li.
Han Li did not express his own opinion on this, only nodding thoughtfully.
And Elder Lu frowned and slowly said:
"However, we did not expect that the Ghost Spirit Sect would simply come up with a Fallen Devil Order, which not only sold a favor to each sect but also ensured that their sect's power would be dominant in the valley. I am afraid they are still harboring the devious idea of letting others scout the path for them. In this way, while they cannot monopolize the treasures in the valley, they have also reduced the danger significantly." "In this world, there is no such thing as perfection. The two Fellow Daoists' move still has more advantages than disadvantages. Most likely, the person in charge of the Ghost Spirit Sect is currently hating the two of you to the bone." Han Li touched his chin and said with a smile. "Fellow Daoist Han is right. It is good enough to let the Ghost Spirit Sect suffer a silent loss first. As for the grudge with the Ghost Spirit Sect, after we come out of the Fallen Devil Valley, this Marquis will naturally settle it with them bit by bit." Marquis Lord Nanlong's spirit lifted as he said this.
Below, the three moved the topic away from the Ghost Spirit Sect and began to chat about the specific matters and arrangements for entering the valley.
Time passed bit by bit like this.
... Seven days later, the miasma of the Ten Thousand Ridge Mountains finally faded away, and the many cultivators who were originally hiding in the periphery appeared one after another, flying towards the direction of the Fallen Devil Valley.
As for other cultivators with low cultivation bases or those unwilling to take risks, they took this opportunity to start picking spiritual herbs and searching for spiritual beasts everywhere in the mountain range.
The Fallen Devil Valley is located in the northwest part of the Ten Thousand Ridge Mountains, with an area as wide as one hundred thousand li. However, it is unknown how the ancient devil cultivators fought here, but layers upon layers of ancient restrictions were set up all around this valley and in the sky. Each of these restrictions is extremely powerful, and they are interlocked, so moving one affects the whole, making it impossible to break the restrictions and enter.
The only place without restrictions is the entrance to the Fallen Devil Valley, a narrow passage one hundred zhang wide and over ten li long.
This passage could originally be passed easily, but the battle of the ancient cultivators affected this place, resulting in the entrance of this passage being filled with dense spatial rifts.
Some of these rifts have blinding white light and are obviously abnormal, some are faint and dim, as if they exist or not, and others are completely shadowless and formless, making them impossible to guard against.
The sizes of these rifts also vary. The large ones are over ten zhang wide, capable of swallowing dozens of people directly without any problem. The small ones are only a foot long, like sharp blades hanging in the air, making people feel terrified.
What is worse is that these spatial rifts in the Fallen Devil Valley actually wander and close or open on their own as time passes, making it impossible to predict their appearance patterns.
Such terrifying spatial rifts have caused countless cultivators to be buried in the passage at the valley entrance without even entering the outer valley. Among them, there is no lack of old monsters at the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, the reputation of the Fallen Devil Valley as the number one dangerous place is actually mostly caused by these spatial rifts.
But this time it is different. It is said that the Ghost Spirit Sect has a way to safely send people into the valley, which immediately caused a stir in the entire Tiannan cultivation world. Immediately, many cultivators who had long been eyeing the treasures of the Fallen Devil Valley divided up those hundreds of Fallen Devil Orders completely.
Some cultivators without tokens still did not give up, holding onto the idea of a slim chance, and still swarmed to this place to see if they could try their luck and find a way to mix into the valley.
