Chapter 906 Valley Mouth
"Are you okay?"

Fu Qingzhou came to Huo Yaer, lowered his head and asked lightly.

Huo Yaer took a few breaths and quickly suppressed the black energy flowing in her body. Then she said in a hoarse voice: "Master Zuling, please rest assured. I am a little bit familiar with ghost magic. This kind of evil ghost energy can't hurt me at all..."

She had only said half of her words when the sound of weapons and armor could be heard again around her.

Not only that, the sound this time sounded ten or a hundred times stronger than before!
Upon hearing this voice, even Huo Yaer's face changed drastically!
"not good……"

She said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know how many souls were imprisoned in the Styx Valley back then. If we continue to kill them like this, there will be no end..."

Fu Qingzhou tilted his head and glanced at her, his eyes clearly revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Back off."

He said two words indifferently, then stepped forward and raised his right hand.

This time, he did not release the natural secret, but openly revealed the curse marks left by the smoker!

Of course, he had his back to Huoyar at this time, and Huoyar had just recovered from his injury, so he couldn't see what was in the palm of his right hand at all.

She only knew that the ghost soldiers who were coming in from all directions like a flood suddenly stopped.

Not only that, they seemed to have seen some supreme existence and threw away the weapons in their hands with clangs. Those weapons, which were either ghost energy or something else, turned into black smoke and dissipated into nothingness as soon as they left the hands of the ghost soldiers.

Afterwards, these ghost soldiers actually lowered their heads deeply to Fu Qingzhou one after another. Then, they turned into black smoke again, drilled into the ground silently, and seeped into this barren and dry land.

"Lord Ancestor Spirit?"

Huo Yaer was slightly surprised.

Fu Qingzhou put away his right hand, turned his head and glanced at her.

"I am not only your ancestral spirit, but I also control the cycle of life and death, the birth and death of souls."

He said calmly, "As for you... you are trying to test my strength. This is disrespectful. I will discuss this with you after our trip to the Styx Valley."

Huo Yaer's pupils trembled and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

She knelt on the ground trembling, lowered her head, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Fu Qingzhou ignored her and continued walking forward calmly.

Aiguli also recovered. She slowly stood up, walked to Huoyar, looked down at her, and quickly followed Fu Qingzhou's footsteps.

Huo Yaer knelt alone for a while. When she saw the two people in front of her were about to disappear, she stood up silently and followed them.

"What went wrong..."

Fu Qingzhou walked in front with an expressionless face, but his heart was not at peace.

At this point, he was basically certain that Huo Yaer was testing him!
But why?

Before in Yandu and Yanying tribe, he didn't notice that Huoyar's attitude was different. Why did she suddenly start testing him after coming here?

Which step went wrong and aroused her suspicion?
But that's okay.

They are about to reach the Styx Valley. As long as Huo Yaer is not 100% sure whether she is the "ancestor spirit" or "Fu Qingzhou", she will not act rashly. In this way, the plan can still continue.

Ever since Fu Qingzhou revealed the curse mark and scared away those evil soldiers, the "death intent" in this deadly place seemed to have calmed down.

Although they went deeper and deeper, the feeling that made people want to die never appeared again. Even Aiguli looked relaxed and no one seemed to be in any pain.

Huo Yaer, on the other hand, had been following far behind and had not come forward.

"Master Zuling, in front!"

As they walked, Aiguli's eyes lit up and she pointed ahead and shouted!

Fu Qingzhou, of course, saw it earlier than her. Ahead, the gray, invisible "fog" that permeated the entire desolate and dead land had dispersed ahead.

At this time, they could already see a silent mountain standing in front of them!
Logically speaking, such a big mountain can be seen even in the desert, but without passing through this desolate and dead land, it was impossible to see the mountain from the outside.

As they got closer, the scene ahead became clearer.

Opposite the desolate and dead land is indeed the valley of the mountain, but... the entrance to the valley is blocked by a huge gate.

This door...

Fu Qingzhou slowly raised his head, his eyes somewhat shocked.

uncanny workmanship!

This gate, like a naturally formed part of the world, is extremely huge and blends perfectly with the mountains on both sides, as if nature had specially carved this guardian gate for the Styx Valley when creating this mountain.

The door is a deep black color and its surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the sparse light around it. At a glance, one can almost see one's own reflection.

Time seems to be particularly tolerant to this door, leaving no signs of weathering, nor even a single crack!
What is even more surprising is that there is neither a crack nor a keyhole or any mechanism on the door. The entire door is integrated, as if it were a huge black slab of stone, fixed at the entrance of the valley by some unspeakable force.

There are some bones scattered in front of the door. These remains are sitting or lying in various postures. It is obvious that a long time ago, someone or something tried to approach the Styx Valley, but ultimately failed to cross this threshold and stayed here forever.

These bones had become brittle due to years of erosion, and the wind brought by Fu Qingzhou and his companions as they passed by had already blown them away and weathered them.

"I didn't expect that I could get here so easily this time..."

At this time, Huo Yaer's voice came from behind: "Before this, I could only walk to the edge of the desolate and dead land..."

Fu Qingzhou turned around and looked at her.

Huo Yaer pointed at the mountain wall at the entrance of the valley and said, "Those inheritances were originally engraved here."

Fu Qingzhou looked in the direction of her finger and saw the mountain walls on both sides of the valley entrance at the back... There were several mirror-smooth stone slabs on them, and there was not a single word on them.

But corresponding to this, there were several stone slabs on the mountain wall not far away, on which were engraved crooked words. Those words were very complicated and were not any of the words that Fu Qingzhou recognized.

However, he found that he could understand...what was written on those stone tablets were some ghost magic techniques!
“Originally, they had words on them.”

Huo Yaer whispered: "Once you touch it, you will have the opportunity to learn the things above, but once someone learns it, the words will disappear. I also learned three kinds of ghost arts here..."

"As for the other magic spells on the stone slabs, no matter how I touched them, they didn't react."

As she spoke, she gave a bitter smile: "Besides, by the time we got here, the desire to commit suicide was so strong that it was impossible to resist, and it was difficult to move forward even a little bit."

Fu Qingzhou glanced at the corpses on the ground around him.

It seems that these are the people who came to the Styx Valley over the past thousands of years.

It’s just that people like Huo Yaer and the ancestors of the Murong family were able to withdraw in time and leave as soon as possible after inheriting some ghost techniques.

But there are some people who are unwilling to give up and want to get more, so they start trying to go deeper... and then they die here.

Fu Qingzhou thought secretly in his heart...

I’m afraid this place is not where the Styx Valley tests its disciples, right?

First, it was the desolate and dead land, and then in the valley mountain, a few more ghost arts were given to see if the person who came to ask for advice had the qualifications. If not, get out. Only by learning all the ghost arts, can you have the opportunity to enter the Styx Valley...

So, these things placed outside are just fur?
In this case, what the Murong family's ancestor found, and was later taken away by the Demon Cult and fell into the hands of the late emperor, was not the real Styx Nine Revolutions Divine Art?

But for now, don’t think about that.

And of course, he himself did not need to pass these tests before entering the valley.

Fu Qingzhou slowly walked to the integrated door and stretched out his hand.
