C345 He Entered the Tiger's Den Alone
Grey-haired Old Man didn't dare to stay here any longer. With his current condition, any random Huayuan martial artist could take his life. He had to escape back to the Mengyin Mountain as soon as possible to treat his injuries. He also thought that after this battle, he would never face Qi Zhuohao again!
Qi Zhuohao was not weak, and the Mutated Wind Shadow Tiger was not something Grey-haired Old Man could handle. More importantly, Qi Zhuohao and the Mutated Wind Shadow Tiger had experienced hundreds of battles, and they were very cunning. The treasure in Qi Zhuohao's hand was not something he could get his hands on.
Grey-haired Old Man would never have thought that Qi Zhuohao would hide himself and follow him from less than 300 meters away. He had been using the Spiritual Sense to keep an eye out for his surroundings, but his Spiritual Sense could only be released to a distance of 300 meters. He could not see Qi Zhuohao at all.
Furthermore, even if Qi Zhuohao appeared within the range of Grey-haired Old Man's Spiritual Sense, Grey-haired Old Man couldn't find any trace of Qi Zhuohao, because Qi Zhuohao's Yuan energy was special. With a strong heart force, when he used the Invisibility Technique, ordinary True Essence Expert would not be able to detect his existence!
Grey-haired Old Man had no idea that Qi Zhuohao was following him. The two of them ran and chased after him. About seven minutes later, Qi Zhuohao had arrived in front of a big valley. When they arrived, Qi Zhuohao had already lost track of Grey-haired Old Man.
Qi Zhuohao looked at the big valley in front of him with a serious expression. After Grey-haired Old Man entered the valley, he looked at the big valley that was covered by a thick gray fog. His instinct told him that he had completely lost Grey-haired Old Man's energy waves. This valley was very unusual!
Qi Zhuohao was still using the Invisibility Technique, and he had not removed his invisible state. After carefully observing the gray fog in the valley, Qi Zhuohao's face became even darker. This fog wasn't an ordinary gas, it was the Qi of Corpse Evil!
The Qi of Corpse Evil was similar to the Qi Of Corpse Barrier, but they were not the same type. The Qi Of Corpse Barrier was a gas formed by the combination of corpse Qi and the miasma in the mountain, but the corpse Qi was a combination of corpse Qi and baleful Qi. Both of them were inseparable from the corpse aura.
Although the miasma was a type of harmful gas, it was also very harmful to martial artists. But it was far from being as harmful as the infernal energy to martial artists. The infernal energy could corrode a martial artist's body and soul. The infernal energy and corpse energy fused together to form corpse energy. The corrosive power was even stronger than the Qi Of Corpse Barrier.
This valley was filled with corpse energy, proving that there were a large number of corpses in this valley. The formation of corpse Qi could not be separated from corpses. Qi Zhuohao already knew that there was a dense corpse Qi here. Naturally, there were many corpses here.
Back in Myriad Corpses Mountain, Qi Zhuohao had witnessed the power of the Qi Of Corpse Barrier. Although the Qi Of Corpse Barrier in the Myriad Corpses Mountain was extremely corrosive, that was the reason why the Myriad Corpses Mountain had the Evil Nether Stone, Divine Artifact, Mixed Devil Stone, and other treasures. As a result, the Qi Of Corpse Barrier in the Myriad Corpses Mountain was far more powerful than any ordinary Qi Of Corpse Barrier. Hence, it could be compared. Although the corpse energy in this valley was very strong, it couldn't be compared to the Qi Of Corpse Barrier in the Myriad Corpses Mountain.
The Evil Essence Pill could resist the Qi Of Corpse Barrier in the Myriad Corpses Mountain, and it could also resist the corpse energy in this valley. Qi Zhuohao also had some Evil Essence Pill in his hand. The corpse energy in this valley wouldn't be able to threaten him.
Of course, Qi Zhuohao was a martial artist at the ninth layer of Huayuan, and he had a lot of mental energy. His own Yuan energy was incomparably pure, and he only needed to use his Yuan energy to protect himself. Even if he didn't swallow the Evil Essence Pill, the corpse energy here wouldn't be able to do anything to him!
Qi Zhuohao casually took out an Evil Essence Pill and swallowed it. He wasn't in a hurry to enter the valley. Grey-haired Old Man had escaped into the valley. It was very likely that this valley was the lair of the Mengyin Mountain.
After taking out the map of the Thousand Stars County and looking at it, Qi Zhuohao immediately revealed a joyful expression. This valley was called Dream Soul Valley. It was a nameless valley. The name of Dream Soul Valley had the word 'dream' in it. Qi Zhuohao was even more certain of his speculation.
Qi Zhuohao knew that the Dream Soul Valley was filled with dense corpse Qi. How could it not be famous? Obviously, the corpse energy in the Dream Soul Valley had only been formed after hundreds of years. As a devil force, the Mengyin Mountain was surrounded by a very strong baleful qi. It was normal to have a lot of corpses, as corpses gave birth to corpse Qi. The corpse Qi and the murderous aura had merged together to create such a strong murderous aura!
Combined with the fact that Grey-haired Old Man had escaped into the Dream Soul Valley, this place was most likely the lair of the Mengyin Mountain. If Qi Zhuohao hadn't come here personally, he would never have thought that the Mengyin Mountain would be hidden in such a huge valley that no one would put in their eyes.
Thinking of this in his heart, Qi Zhuohao decisively walked into the Dream Soul Valley. After walking for a few dozen meters, Qi Zhuohao suddenly felt that the corpse devil Qi had become even denser. He curiously used the Spiritual Sense to scan the underground of the valley. Suddenly... What?!
There were actually layers and layers of corpses buried underneath the Dream Soul Valley. Most of these corpses were only bones. Some of them had just started to rot, while others were fresh corpses that had just died a few days ago.
Qi Zhuohao was incomparably shocked. There were thousands of corpses and bones buried under the Dream Soul Valley. Qi Zhuohao's Spiritual Sense stared at the fresh corpses, and finally came to a conclusion. There was not a trace of blood in those corpses. It was obvious that their blood had been sucked dry and they had died. This situation made Qi Zhuohao even more convinced that the Dream Soul Valley was the lair of the Mengyin Mountain.
Qi Zhuohao knew that many of the experts in the Mengyin Mountain had cultivated the Bloody Strength Great Arts. As for the cultivation of the Bloody Strength Great Arts, it was inseparable from the fresh blood. This was also the reason why the devils in the Mengyin Mountain hunted people all year round. The reason why there were so many corpses in the Dream Soul Valley... It must be because of the cultivation of those experts in the Mengyin Mountain.
And the reason why so many corpses were buried in the Dream Soul Valley was obviously done on purpose by the Mengyin Mountain. Its purpose should be to create a combination of corpse Qi and baleful Qi to prevent the warriors from passing by and hiding in the lair of the Mengyin Mountain!
Qi Zhuohao's heart was filled with incomparable anger. He finally understood why the evil devils were the public enemies of the righteous forces. The cultivation of the evil devils' Secret Technique was simply devoid of conscience and was not tolerated by the righteous forces in the world. The Mengyin Mountain must be destroyed!
Putting away the Spiritual Sense, Qi Zhuohao searched around the Dream Soul Valley. However, he couldn't find any trace of the evil devils in the entire Dream Soul Valley. It was as if Grey-haired Old Man had disappeared into thin air, without a trace.
Qi Zhuohao's heart gradually sank. He was thinking... Could it be that there was something wrong with his deduction? Could this place not be the lair of the Mengyin Mountain? But if his deduction was wrong, how should he explain the many corpses in the Dream Soul Valley, and why did Grey-haired Old Man disappear after escaping here?
Qi Zhuohao really couldn't understand. He could only take out the map of the Thousand Stars County and carefully observe it, hoping to find something.
Sure enough, as he held the map and carefully studied it, Qi Zhuohao quickly found a clue. There were more than ten mountains around Dream Soul Valley, and one of them was called Dark Mist Mountain. The Dark Fog Mountain was the tallest among the ten mountains here, and there was a natural cave on the mountainside of the Dark Fog Mountain. The name on the map was the Misty Cloud Cave!
Qi Zhuohao had already thought that the 'dream' in the name of the Dream Soul Valley was the same as the 'dream' in Mengyin Mountain. The name of the Mengyin Mountain also had the word 'Yin', which matched the name of the mountain. It was very likely that the true location of the Mengyin Mountain was the Misty Curtain Cave in the Misty Mountain of the Dream Soul Valley.
No one knew exactly where the Mengyin Mountain was. In fact, was the name of the Mengyin Mountain a place or a sect? The people of the Thousand Stars County did not know either.
But now, Qi Zhuohao had understood that the Mengyin Mountain was actually the name of this evil force in the Thousand Stars County. It was named after the name of Dark Mist Mountain in the Dream Soul Valley. There were clear instructions on the map. It was a pity that none of the major powers in the Thousand Stars County had thought of this!
With this thought in mind, Qi Zhuohao took a step forward and soon arrived at the foot of the Dark Fog Mountain. Although his Spiritual Sense could be released more than 100 meters away, but... He didn't dare to use the Spiritual Sense to investigate the situation inside the Misty Curtain Cave, because there was more than one True Essence Expert in the Mengyin Mountain. Once his Spiritual Sense was scanned, it would be sensed by the Spiritual Sense. That would undoubtedly expose himself.
Qi Zhuohao had to be careful when eliminating the Mengyin Mountain. It was already very difficult to deal with a single Grey-haired Old Man. There were at least two Truly Essence Stage guardians in Mengyin Mountain, and... The leader of the Mengyin Mountain, Tong Yan, had an evil treasure. He was the most difficult opponent to deal with!
On the Yin Mist Mountain, there was a small path that led straight to the Misty Curtain Cave on the mountainside. Qi Zhuohao could see that this path wasn't desolate at all. Clearly, someone had been walking for a long time. At this point, Qi Zhuohao was almost certain. Mengyin Mountain was here.
After climbing up the small path, Qi Zhuohao quickly arrived outside the Misty Curtain Cave. Qi Zhuohao finally heaved a sigh of relief when he sensed the dark attribute aura hidden outside the Misty Curtain Cave. This was indeed the lair of the Mengyin Mountain!
Clearly, the dark attribute aura was fluctuating. It was coming from the dark energy guards of the Mengyin Mountain. Qi Zhuohao was using the Invisibility Technique. Those guards couldn't sense his arrival, but he didn't dare to use the Spiritual Sense. He could only use his heartforce to vaguely sense the position of the dark attribute guards.
After slightly scanning the Misty Cloud Cave, Qi Zhuohao was surprised to find that although the entrance of the Misty Cloud Cave was very small, the interior of the cave was incomparably wide. A stone staircase meandered down, and within the belly of the mountain, there was a completely different world.
Qi Zhuohao was using the Invisibility Technique. Even if he encountered the True Essence Expert, he wouldn't be discovered. He carefully walked along the stone staircase for a while and saw many Evil Demon sentries.
When he really entered the mist curtain cave, Qi Zhuohao was shocked. It could be said that the inside of the Misty Cloud Cavern was guarded by guards every three steps. The security was very tight. However, he had no choice. In the face of Qi Zhuohao's Invisibility Technique, these sentries in Mengyin Mountain were just decorations!
Qi Zhuohao didn't alert any of the guards. Finally, he arrived at the bottom of the belly of the mountain. Glancing at the magnificent palaces, Qi Zhuohao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The glory of the Mengyin Mountain was dozens of times greater than the Battle Soul Hall!
The palaces were surrounded by solid city walls, making them look like a city. Above the gate, the words Mengyin Mountain's Liberty City were dazzling, and the city was filled with a bloody murderous aura!
Qi Zhuohao walked on a path in the middle of the palaces without batting an eyelid. Apart from the sentries and guards, Mengyin Mountain It was the ___. Almost all the devils were quietly cultivating. Qi Zhuohao had to find the leader of Mengyin Mountain, Tong Yan. Tong Yan was the first person he wanted to kill.
Qi Zhuohao knew very well that once he showed himself, he would be besieged by the devils of Mengyin Mountain. Only by eliminating the strongest Tong Yan and the few great guardians of Mengyin Mountain would he be able to eliminate all the devils in Mengyin Mountain in one fell swoop.
If not, even if Qi Zhuohao could kill Tong Yan and the other powerful devils, many of the devils in Mengyin Mountain would definitely flee during the chaos. That would be a huge future threat, and Qi Zhuohao didn't want to see that happen.
