Chapter 2437: Poison Gas Valley

As Ye Liuyun continued to explore, he gradually realized that the difficulty of the dangers he faced was also increasing.

Even ordinary ferocious beasts were becoming increasingly hard to deal with.

The soldiers of Ye Tiandao's elite squad were gradually unable to keep up with this level of training.

So Ye Liuyun released the Martial Cultivators that Liao Yunyang had, letting them train and fight alongside him.

This also gave them a chance to improve.

Ye Liuyun now hardly needed them for protection.

That day, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense suddenly detected two squads of Martial Cultivators confronting each other ahead, each squad having more than ten members.

Beside those two groups was the mouth of a valley, and the two groups seemed to be arguing over who should enter the valley.

He immediately halted the crowd, pulled them all into the Space World, then activated the Shadow Concealment Technique and quietly approached.

From their attire, one squad was soldiers and the other was Imperial Family scions, making them easy to distinguish.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also spotted the two team leaders, whose strength was not weak, clearly higher than those he had previously encountered.

The members of their squads were all strong dual-bodied beings, with none lacking in strength.

After getting close, Ye Liuyun finally heard what they were saying.

They were discussing which person to send to explore the valley, and how to divide the medicinal herbs and other rare treasures they might find.

Ye Liuyun looked into the valley and faintly saw some herbs inside, but toxic gas also wafted out from the valley.

"It seems they are afraid of poisoning and won't dare go in!"

Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun stepped forward and revealed himself.

"Who dares to interfere with us, looking for death?"

Someone from the Imperial Family squad immediately shouted a rebuke.

The soldier squad's leader, however, laughed, "Don't scare him, let him come over; isn't our problem solved just like that?"

The Imperial Family leader instantly understood and ordered Ye Liuyun to be called over.

Then they began to threaten and tempt him, asking Ye Liuyun to explore the valley for them.

Ye Liuyun pretended to be frightened by their threats and reluctantly agreed, walking toward the valley under their gaze.

The moment he encountered the toxic gas, he immediately activated the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra, using the gas to cultivate.

However, those people watched Ye Liuyun enter the valley but did not follow.

"Let's wait here for him to come out! We've already scouted the outer area of the valley and there's no other exit.

If after a few days he doesn't emerge, it means he died inside.

If he does come out, we'll subdue him, learn the situation inside, and then have him lead us in.

But before that, everyone on both sides must stay here; no one is allowed to act first."

The soldier leader proposed.

"No problem!"

The Imperial Family leader also agreed.

After returning, someone beside the Imperial Family leader said, "I saw that kid walk in easily; could it be that the toxic gas can't breach the True Essence Body Shield?

If that's the case, we can't let those soldiers take advantage!"

"Hmm, very possible! But they're watching us now, so we can't send anyone in!"

The Imperial Family leader also said.

"Don't you still have two personal guards?

After night falls, release them quietly and let them try!"

The person added.

"Alright, we'll try it when night comes."

The Imperial Family leader also consented.

The opposing soldier leader, after seeing Ye Liuyun go in, had the same thought, so he deliberately said to wait a few days to confuse the Imperial Family.

After night fell, both of them quietly released their personal guards.

But they didn't expect that after these few entered and didn't go far, the toxic gas infected them, collapsing them to the ground, eventually corroded into a pool of pus and blood, with no chance to escape.

After Ye Liuyun entered, he was also amazed by the scenery inside the valley.

The place actually harbored many precious herbs and trees.

However, the toxic gas here repelled all living things outside the valley.

This is precisely why these treasures can be preserved here.

Ye Liuyun immediately released Lei Ming, Long Nv, Ye Tiandao, Liang Xue and others, letting them use the valley's toxic gas to cultivate the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra, while also having everyone help harvest the herbs and transplant them into his Space World.

He and his clone stood beside the group, guarding against any poisonous substances.

But the place was indeed safe; apart from a few small poisonous insects, Ye Liuyun encountered no major danger.

So they stayed in the valley for several days, stripping it clean.

Their Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutras also cultivated to near completion, storing a large amount of poison source.

Yet the poison source here did not diminish.

Ye Liuyun promptly retrieved them to the Space World to investigate the poison source.

He eventually discovered that the toxic gas originated from a spring within the valley.

The spring produced black water, and because it was a hot spring, the toxic gas diffused outward.

"We can keep it to poison enemies!"

Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun immediately borrowed White Demon's Formless Wooden Box, packed all the black water from the spring, and discovered beneath the spring several black stones whose concentrated lethal toxin was far greater than Ye Liuyun's own poison source.

He then used the Formless Wooden Box to take those stones as well; these resources could be used for others to cultivate the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra.

After taking all these resources, he then prepared to leave here.

Not far from the valley entrance, he also discovered dried bloodstains on the ground and several storage rings.

Using his divine sense to probe, he also found that there were plenty of resources inside.

He put away the storage rings, and also guessed that those people outside had, unable to hold back, sent someone in.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, came up with a plan, and then walked out swaggeringly.

At that moment, the people waiting outside had actually grown impatient, and even thought he had already died inside.

Seeing him come out, they were all greatly startled and immediately surrounded him.

"What's the situation inside?"

"Have you seen anyone else?"

These people immediately started talking all at once, and some even wanted to inspect Ye Liuyun's storage ring.

Ye Liuyun's storage ring was merely a showpiece on the surface, with nothing inside, so they could inspect it however they liked.

He told those people: "Inside, poisonous gas fills everywhere; even a true essence body shield can't hold out for long."

But there are also many medicinal herbs in the valley.

In the center of the valley, there is a transmission secret realm.

I was about to be poisoned, but I happened upon the entrance of that secret realm and quickly went in.

However, inside the secret realm there were very fierce beasts, and I was no match for them, so I could only hide from them.

When they relaxed their vigilance, I then found a chance to escape.

As for the others, I haven't seen them!"

"Are you sure you're not deceiving us?"

Those two leaders both expressed suspicion toward Ye Liuyun.

"How would I dare to deceive you?"

"If you don't believe me, I'll take you in!"

Ye Liuyun deliberately acted frightened as he spoke.
