Chapter 356: Entering Black Stone Valley Again

Three days later, Song Qingming, who had been tracking all the way from the Fuyun Mountain Range, also arrived outside Black Stone Valley. Standing at the valley entrance, he looked at the familiar scenery around him with some surprise, and then lowered his head to look at the direction indicated by the trace of Wang Sihai's soul in the Soul-Gathering Bowl in his hand.

After Song Qingming wandered at the valley entrance for a moment, he asked softly: "Senior Wind Crane, your method wouldn't be inaccurate, right? Has this demon really hidden here?"

After the words fell for a moment, a somewhat lazy voice slowly sounded.

"Don't worry, kid. I have used this method a few times before and have never made a mistake. As long as this trace of soul is that kid's, I still have this bit of certainty to find him."

"Could it be! It wouldn't be such a coincidence, right! Is this guy aiming for the Demon-Suppressing Tower in the valley?"

Black Stone Valley is a barren place. A demonic cultivator coming here, except for the Demon-Suppressing Tower, Song Qingming really couldn't think of a better reason all of a sudden.

Because of the matter of Third Brother Song Qingze back then, Song Qingming once came here with a few fellow Daoists from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Carefree Sect. It was also that time that Song Qingming saw the Demon-Suppressing Tower in Black Stone Valley with his own eyes and knew that a big demon with profound cultivation was also sealed here.

When he left Black Stone Valley back then, Song Qingming had also heard the Carefree Sect cultivators discussing this matter with his own ears. Logically speaking, they should have sent people to look after this place of sealing.

But now, a demonic cultivator with extraordinary strength has come to Black Stone Valley, and Song Qingming doesn't know what the situation in the valley is now. He doesn't know if the Carefree Sect cultivators stationed here have already bumped into this demon.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming felt somewhat uneasy in his heart. He didn't know whether he should go forward and wade into this muddy water. If he really bumped into the Carefree Sect cultivators, how should he explain his purpose for coming here at that time?

"To tell you the truth, Senior, I came here once more than ten years ago, and I know that there is a demonic expert sealed in the valley."

"A demonic expert? Is what you said true?" Wind Crane asked with confusion.

After Song Qingming turned around and found a quiet place to sit down, he told the Wind Crane, who was still unaware, in detail about what happened when he came to Black Stone Valley back then.

"This demon has been sealed for hundreds of years and has not been able to escape, which shows that the Demon-Suppressing Tower that suppressed him is not an ordinary object. I estimate that it is unlikely for a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator to want to easily break the seal in a short time. You don't have to be afraid of this point. With me here, as long as you don't encounter a demon above the Golden Core stage, I can guarantee that you will leave here safely." Hearing that a Golden Core peak demonic cultivator was sealed in Black Stone Valley, Wind Crane didn't seem to care much.

"Senior! Besides that demonic cultivator in the valley now, there might also be Carefree Sect cultivators guarding the seal. I am also a little afraid that going forward will bump into them, and it will be difficult to explain this matter at that time."

"Haha! You are not wrong to worry about these things. However, since we have spent so much effort to get here, there is no reason to go back empty-handed."

"I have a few spiritual items here, you take them first. With these things, as long as you don't encounter a Golden Core cultivator, sneaking into this place is not a big problem."

After speaking, Wind Crane, who had been hiding behind Song Qingming, flapped his wings, and then three magic tools flew out from his wings and fell into Song Qingming's hands.

These three spiritual items were an egg-sized jade bead, a silver spiritual talisman, and a golden fine net.

"This bead only needs to be placed on the top of the head to ensure that all your aura and magic power fluctuations are hidden within a few hours. Combined with the magic robe that hides your figure in your hand, it is absolutely impossible for cultivators below the Golden Core stage to easily discover you. The other two spiritual items are sharp weapons for dealing with demonic cultivators. With your current cultivation base and these two spiritual items in hand, beheading that demonic cultivator should be a matter of course."

Seeing the three spiritual items in his hand, Song Qingming's face was suddenly overjoyed, and the somewhat worried face also disappeared without a trace.

After putting away the other two spiritual items, Song Qingming placed the jade bead on the top of his head according to what Wind Crane said. An invisible wall seemed to form around him immediately, isolating the magic power on his body from the surrounding spiritual energy. This immediately caused the aura on Song Qingming's body to be instantly confined to his own surroundings.

Seeing that the effect of this thing was exactly as Wind Crane said, Song Qingming smiled slightly, took out the Spirit-Hiding Shirt and put it on, and carefully walked into Black Stone Valley step by step.

After entering the valley, Song Qingming did not find the figures of other cultivators, so he boldly quickened his pace.

According to his memory from more than ten years ago, Song Qingming soon found the cave entrance that sealed the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Seeing the formation at the cave entrance that sealed the cave, which had been destroyed for a period of time, Song Qingming also knew that this demon should have entered the cave long ago, but he didn't know if his goal had been achieved yet.

After walking a section of the road along the tunnel he had walked before, Song Qingming immediately felt a somewhat eerie gloomy wind drifting over. It seemed that he was really right, this demon was here at this moment.

Just after stepping into the huge underground cave that sealed the Demon-Suppressing Tower, Song Qingming immediately heard a burst of fierce fighting sounds coming from the front.

After climbing onto a larger boulder at the entrance, Song Qingming immediately saw the appearance of the entire hall and found that the spells used by those who were fighting were all very powerful, and it looked like they were all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage.

There were several people in the battlefield where the fighting was taking place. On the left was a tall and thin man in red clothes, fighting against a black-clothed man wearing a long robe and a bamboo hat, dressed somewhat similarly to Song Qingming. On the other side was an old man with a long beard entangled with a huge ghost head. The old man with a long beard and the man in red clothes were clearly together, and the two would often look after each other during the battle.

The man in red clothes seemed to be the one with the highest cultivation base among those present, having already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and his fight with the black-robed man also occupied the upper hand. But the cultivation base of the old man with a long beard who was responsible for containing the ghost head was much worse, having already been suppressed by the huge ghost head in the air to the point of having no power to fight back, and he needed the man in red clothes to look after him from time to time to barely maintain an undefeated state.

"The two people fighting with that demonic cultivator don't look like Carefree Sect cultivators, and they don't seem to look like righteous cultivators either. Could it be that these people fighting are all demonic cultivators." Song Qingming saw that the scene of the fighting in front was somewhat messy, so he sent a voice transmission to Wind Crane on his body to ask for his opinion.

"Haha! Righteous cultivators will fight among themselves, let alone people in the demonic path. These people, even if they are teachers, brothers, can be objects of betrayal. There is no need to be fussed about this point."

Song Qingming naturally knew that it was not a strange thing for demonic cultivators to fight among themselves, but the sudden appearance of two more demonic cultivators really surprised him somewhat, disrupting his original plan for a time.
