C779 Tracing Three Years Later
"Show me." As he spoke, Chu Yan's voice faintly trembled.
Perhaps others did not notice, but Lin Miaoran immediately discovered that something was amiss with Chu Yan.
At the moment, Chu Yan was staring at the identity jade tablet in Lin Miaoran's hands.
His pupils were bloodshot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Miaoran could even see Chu Yan's currently trembling hands.
Having known Chu Yan for so long, she had never seen him lose his composure like this before.
"Chu Yan —" Lin Miaoran called out softly.
But at that moment, Chu Yan's mind rumbled, and he did not hear Lin Miaoran's voice.
No mistake, absolutely no mistake.
Three years ago, outside the borders of Southern Yuan Kingdom, this was the symbol on the sleeves of the two female cultivators who took Xiao Pei away!
Two parallel triangles.
That sect was called — the Sunset Valley!
"Sunset Valley —" Chu Yan spat out three words.
"Mm, Junior Chu, do you know?" Kong Ci looked at Chu Yan in surprise.
But Chu Yan did not reply him. After taking the identity jade tablet from Lin Miaoran, he immediately turned around and walked towards Awful Eldest in large strides.
At this moment,'s entire body was surging with a frightening aura.
At this time, anyone could tell that Chu Yan was in a strange state.
"Junior Chu!" Kong Ci was afraid that Chu Yan would have some mishap, and immediately wanted to chase after him.
However, before he could even take a step, Lin Miaoran had already extended her hand and blocked his path.
"This is —" Kong Ci looked at Lin Miaoran in puzzlement, only to see him shaking her head at him.
"Sister Lin, what's wrong with Chu Yan?" Li Xiu walked over and whispered, "I have never seen a Chu Yan like this before."
"Neither did I." Lin Miaoran shook his head, he turned and looked at Chu Yan, and said, "But I think it's better not to disturb him at this time."
Just as Lin Miaoran was speaking, Chu Yan had already walked in front of the Awful Eldest.
Awful Eldest's body started to tremble uncontrollably.
He could clearly feel that the youth in front of him was emitting a dense aura, as if an invisible hand of death was grabbing onto his neck. He only needed to give it a light squeeze to extinguish all of his life force.
Chu Yan bent down and leaned towards the Awful Eldest.
Awful Eldest trembled even more violently.
The half opened mouth of teeth that was previously broken by Li Xiu had now lost its support. That loose cheek of his was wheezing and shaking, and within his eyes, was an indescribable feeling of fear.
Placing the identity jade tablet almost on Awful Eldest's face, Chu Yan slowly spoke: "This, where did you get it from?"
His voice was ice-cold, and the surrounding temperature was like needles stabbing into the marrow of people's bones.
"I, I …"
"Speak!" Chu Yan's gaze focused, he grabbed the other party's neck and directly picked up Awful Eldest.
Chu Yan did not forget Xiao Pei.
That maid who had accompanied him for the rest of her life because he had 'picked her up' while he was trying to save her life.
The maid who was wrongly accused, despised by everyone, yet still believed in him.
That maid who was outside the country and had confronted a killing move that could crush one's bones into powder was still as fearless as ever. She stood resolutely in his way, shouting, "Your Highness, hurry up and leave!"
Three years later, news of the Sunset Valley finally arrived.
No matter how slim the chances were, Chu Yan wasn't willing to lose it.
The Awful Eldest trembled.
He could sense that the young man before him possessed astonishing strength.
The opponent only needed to exert a little force with his palm to break his neck.
"Speak!"
Just one word, was like a thunderclap, and scared the hell out of Awful Eldest.
"I-I picked it up!" I picked it up! " It was almost an instinct for survival that made Awful Eldest shout out loud.
"Liar." Chu Yan squinted, and started to exert strength in his palms.
In a short moment, Awful Eldest's face swelled purple, and blood continuously flowed out from his mouth.
"Chu Yan —" Lin Miaoran took a step forward, and said to Chu Yan's back.
Chu Yan waved his hand at him, signalling for him not to come over.
When Awful Eldest's eyeballs almost popped out, Chu Yan released his hand.
The air that he did not see for a long time gushed into his lungs, causing Awful Eldest's mucus to gush out. The feeling of his vision going black, suddenly becoming bright again, made him want to cry.
However, Chu Yan's voice once again rang out: "Where did it come from?"
With a quiver, Awful Eldest's tears gushed out — he was completely frightened.
"Please spare me, I really picked up this storage bag, it was found on a corpse, I didn't even have time to look, I don't even know where it came from." Awful Eldest's mouth leaked wind, but at the moment, in order to survive, he used all his might to clearly speak every word.
"Corpses? "When and where?" Chu Yan frowned.
"Half a month ago, in a valley far away from here." Awful Eldest cried and said, "The three of us passed by and accidentally found the body. When we found it, this corpse had already been dead for at least a day, and only had this storage bag on him. "
"Fifteen days or so. Canyon." Chu Yan closed his eyes.
In his mind, the map that he had memorized from Kong Ci immediately surfaced.
Based on the opponent's base level, the strength of his legs could be estimated and a canyon could be found.
Very quickly, Chu Yan located the location on the map in his mind.
There were no tombs near the canyon.
But Chu Yan didn't want to give up.
It wasn't easy for them to find clues about the Sunset Valley, and they couldn't accept that it had ended like this.
"What was the state of the corpse when you saw it, was it a man or a woman? How did they die? Tell me in detail." Chu Yan said coldly.
, Kong Ci, Li Xiu and the others who were standing not too far away had already guessed, when they heard the conversation between Chu Yan and the Awful Eldest, that this sect called Sunset Valley was related to Chu Yan in some way.
Awful Eldest carefully recalled for a while, then said: "It was a woman that looked to be around forty years of age. Her realm could not be determined, and she must have been killed by someone. There are two large holes in her chest."
"A woman in her forties." Hearing this news, Chu Yan's heart inexplicably relaxed.
Even though he knew that the chances of finding Xiao Pei were slim, he did not wish for the two of them to meet again in this manner.
"What about the body?" Chu Yan asked again.
"We took the storage bag and left. We didn't care about the corpse, but in a place like the Thousand Monster Graveyard, after so long, the corpse should have already been eaten by beasts." Awful Eldest was kneeling in front of Chu Yan, kowtowing to him, "I told you everything I know, I beg you, please spare me, spare my life."
