Seeing this, several other people also jumped off the deck, followed by the mirror falling to the ground.
Wang Tiezhu was the last one. He watched his senior brothers and sisters leave Liuyunzhou one by one, turned around and said to Zhu Youcai: "Director Zhu, wait until three days before you come to pick us up."
Zhu Youcai nodded quickly, "Okay, sir, please be careful!"
Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly, took out the purple jade shuttle, stepped on it and fell towards the ground.
Unlike several of his senior brothers and sisters, he has the ability to control the air.
Although his current combat power is generally comparable to that of monks in the wilderness, there are some abilities unique to the wilderness that he still cannot do anything about.
When he landed on the ground, several other people were exploring the surroundings.
"Senior Lou, I'm here."
After hearing Wang Tiezhu's words, Lou Shijing nodded slightly and then said to everyone.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start heading towards Deadwood Valley. Remember what I told you on the Liuyun Boat, don't act without authorization!"
Everyone responded one after another, saying that they would definitely obey his arrangements.
Seeing this, Lou Shijing stopped talking and walked forward on his own. The remaining people quickly followed after seeing this.
Wang Tiezhu looked up and saw that the Liuyun Boat had restarted and was heading in the direction it came from. He looked down at the charred ground under his feet and let out a long breath.
"Junior brother! Hurry up and catch up!"
Hearing An Yueling's call in front of him, he quickly responded.
"Coming, coming!"
After saying that, he immediately chased towards the crowd in front.
As we get closer to the Dead Wood Valley, the peaks on both sides become higher and higher. Because of the towering mountain walls, it is difficult for water vapor to dissipate, so it gathers at the ground, forming a thick fog.
It's just that the fog here is a little different from other places. I don't know if it's because of the special geographical environment or the demonic energy here is too strong. As a result, the fog that should be gray and white is now a little black, like gunpowder smoke.
Looking at the cliffs on both sides, Wang Tiezhu asked An Yueling beside him in a low voice.
"Sister, why does this place look like this? Why are the mountains so bare, as if they have experienced a fire..."
An Yueling also frowned, "I don't know this either. It's my first time coming to this place. I've never heard of it before..."
Just as the two of them were whispering, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded from beside him. He turned around and found that it was Wen Chengzhang from Qi Yufeng.
Wen Chengzhang shook the delicate folding fan in his hand and shook his head.
"Look at you, you didn't do your homework before coming here. The reason why this Deadwood Valley is like this is said to be the result of a fight between two great cultivators in ancient times.
It is said that the battle lasted for nine days and nine nights. Hills collapsed and rivers were cut off! Even the stars in the sky became dim and crumbling because of it!"
An Yueling listened with seriousness on her face and kept asking: "What happened next? What happened next? What was the result?"
Hearing a "swish!" sound, Wen Chengzhang closed the folding fan in his hand, pointed at the sky and sighed.
"Hey! The two overhauls were equally powerful. Even though they fought for nine days and nine nights, there was no winner. So at the last moment of the battle, they all chose to self-destruct to defeat their opponents.
As a result, two extremely powerful energies continued to collide, turning a hundred miles around the Deadwood Valley into a barren land. Moreover, this incomparable explosion burned out all the spiritual energy here, resulting in the place even though countless years had passed.
, it will be difficult to return to the way it was before..."
Seeing Wen Chengzhang shaking his head, Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but smile.
This senior brother Wen is an interesting person. It is hard to imagine how the always serious elder Gao Xuan could teach such a disciple.
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, Lou Shijing's voice suddenly came from the front.
"Silence! There's something going on!"
When Wang Tiezhu and others heard this, they quickly shut up and looked forward, but they only saw a dark mist and nothing else.
As the representative of the Litian Sword Sect this time, Lu Mingqi walked to Lou Shijing and asked in a low voice.
"Senior Lou, what did you find?"
Lou Shijing narrowed his eyes and stared ahead.
"The flow of demonic energy here is a bit strange. It's different from before... There seems to be something attracting them..."
Several people were stunned when they heard this and stood there with big eyes and small eyes.
Although they can also feel the demonic energy, they are definitely not as good as Lou Shijing, who has been staying in Demon Suppression City all year round, so they have no obvious feelings about what he said, and they don't know what this situation means.
Therefore, they did not dare to express their opinions at will, so they had to stand quietly and wait for what Senior Lou would say next.
However, Senior Lou didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to explain. He just stood there, squinting and looking ahead.
Everyone saw that the senior was not moving, and they themselves were not able to move either. They could only do the same as him, looking forward regardless of whether they saw anything or not.
After a moment of silence, Lou Shijing finally spoke.
"Just keep going..."
"Um?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, what happened? What happened?
Didn’t you say there was a situation?
Why did you move on again?
As if he saw the doubts in their hearts, Lou Shijing said.
"Although this demonic energy has changed, it has changed very irregularly and does not appear to be man-made. It should be that we have entered the influence range of the space crack, and this demonic energy is disturbed by space fluctuations, which is why this situation occurs..."
After that, he stopped talking and continued walking forward.
After hearing his explanation, everyone suddenly understood and quickly followed behind him.
As we got closer and closer to Deadwood Valley, the black fog in the air became thicker and thicker, almost to the point where we couldn't see anything.
After walking for a while in the heavy fog, Lou Shijing ordered everyone to stop, and then gave each of them a jade hairpin to wear.
Once this hairpin is worn, it will emit flashes of light. Although it is not bright, it can be seen clearly in the dark fog, which is really magical.
After everyone put on their hairpins, Lou Shijing also took out one and inserted it into his silver hair, and continued walking forward.
With the existence of the jade hairpin, although their sight will still be blocked, they can use this object to determine the location of other people, so they will not be separated from everyone.
In this way, a group of nine people continued to move forward in the canyon shrouded in black mist, and not far in front of them was the destination of the trip, Deadwood Valley.
After walking in the black mist for more than an hour, Lou Shijing, who had not spoken for a long time, finally issued an order.
"The recent space fluctuations have been extremely strong, and the demonic energy nearby is also unpredictable. We should be not far from Deadwood Valley. Let's take a rest where we are."
After hearing this, several people from the Litian Sword Sect, who were already exhausted physically and mentally, quickly sat down on the spot, took out the elixirs, swallowed them, closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing. After all, they must maintain a very high level of concentration in this environment.
