Huangxiu

Chapter 1130 Exploration
The valley where the Myriad Blood Sect was located gave him a sense of familiarity.

It was similar to the situation of the evil sects I had seen in Xiaotianwaitian.

Inside the valley, there are nine statues: one large and eight small red jade statues.

However, the sculpted figure was not the handsome middle-aged man he had anticipated.

Instead, it was a sinister figure with the body of a spider and the face of a middle-aged man.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The demons he saw in Biyuan Heaven all had human bodies and animal heads, as if they had not yet fully transformed.

The evil lord he saw in the Lesser Heavenly Realm resembled this statue.

These statues are actually evil deities?

The methods employed by the Myriad Blood Sect seem to be similar to those of the evil sects in the Lesser Heavenly Realm.

They all devour essence and blood.

The moment he saw these evil lords, his heart burned with rage and his killing intent was palpable.

Lu Xiaolu thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and whispered, "Let's go back first."

Chu Zhiyuan turned to look at her.

The chilling gaze startled Lu Xiaolu, who immediately asked telepathically, "Junior brother, do you have a blood feud with them?"

Chu Zhiyuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and shook his head: "Just looking at them makes me want to wipe them out."

"I'd love to!" Lu Xiaolu nodded hurriedly. "But I'm afraid of alerting them... Besides, they definitely have top experts, and we might not be able to defeat them. Let's wait for Senior Sister and the others to come together, then sweep them away in one fell swoop!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

There are thirteen Venerables in this valley, six of whom are high-ranking Venerables.

Those nine statues contain astonishing power and are the sect's most prized treasures.

In his daze, he felt as if he had returned to the Little Outer Heaven to wipe out the evil sect.

He suddenly withdrew his supernatural senses.

The largest statue was constantly emanating a strange power that swept across the entire valley.

He felt like he was about to be shot.

The power of this statue is indeed strange, different from spiritual power; it is a more mysterious power.

It is very likely that extrasensory perception will be detected.

"Junior brother, let's go." Lu Xiaolu urged again through telepathy.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her with a smile and nodded slightly.

Lu Xiaolu is usually impulsive, but this time she was surprisingly calm.

Lu Xiaolu got up and moved through the woods without making a sound.

Chu Zhiyuan and she avoided the sentries and quickly moved ten miles away.

The two then stepped onto the treetops and sped away.

As they passed through a forest, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and pointed down below.

Lu Xiaolu was puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There are Wanxue Sect disciples lying in ambush by the roadside below, they're going to harm people."

Lu Xiaolu perked up: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's wipe them out!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's wait and see how they plan to make their move."

“Let’s go.” Lu Xiaolu nodded hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan led her to turn left, went two miles ahead, and then descended into a grove of trees, hiding in the branches.

He gestured with his lips towards the opposite side.

Lu Xiaolu narrowed her bright eyes and quickly spotted the figure hidden in the woods opposite.

Between two groves of trees lies a road, the road leading to Tongyuan City.

This road is wide and flat; it is an official road built by the imperial court.

On the other side of the official road, in the woods, two young men were each crouching behind a tree that was large enough for one person to encircle.

Lu Xiaolu saw the hem of their clothes.

The two of them didn't try to hide themselves, since no one had come along the road yet.

Lu Xiaolu transmitted her voice secretly: "Junior brother, are there many pedestrians on this road?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There should be quite a few, but at this time, they might all be stopping to rest."

It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly overhead.

Pedestrians on the road are either tired or hungry at this time, so they often stop to eat something, drink some water, and rest for a while.

Let's rest and recharge before continuing our journey.

"Are these two going to kill someone?" Lu Xiaolu transmitted her voice secretly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Expecting them to save people?"

"Junior brother, how can you be so sure they are from the Myriad Blood Sect?"

"I could smell the evil odor emanating from him from a great distance."

"Junior brother, your skills are extraordinary."

"The key is still cultivation level."

"With your talent, your cultivation will improve quickly, and you'll catch up with me."

"Senior sisters, your Guanghan Palace's cultivation methods are profound, and your progress in cultivation is rapid. How can I possibly keep up?"

Chu Zhiyuan did not think he could catch up with Lu Xiaolu's level.

He is different from before.

Now I have a deeper understanding of the Guanghan Palace. I know that the Guanghan Palace's mental cultivation method is profound, and that each of its disciples has a unique aptitude that is compatible with the Guanghan Palace's mental cultivation method.

The disciples of Guanghan Palace cultivate at a speed comparable to demonic arts, progressing a thousand miles a day.

They often reach the ninth level of the Venerable Realm at a young age, thus maintaining their youth forever.

He was making rapid progress, but Lu Xiaolu was no slower.

My progress was fast in the early stages because it was easy; it slowed down as I went on.

"Someone's coming," Lu Xiaolu suddenly transmitted her voice.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at it.

Two young men, swords at their waists, came up the official road and sped along using their light-footed skills.

Lu Xiaolu lowered her voice and asked, "Will they make a move?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Lu Xiaolu asked in surprise, "You won't do it?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Under normal circumstances, no."

The two young men drifted away, but the two in the woods did not make a move.

Lu Xiaolu asked curiously, "Why don't they make a move? Their cultivation levels aren't very high either."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "These two are probably from a nearby city. If something happens to them, it will cause a great stir."

"...Would they kill those visitors from afar?" Lu Xiaolu understood Chu Zhiyuan's meaning after a moment's thought: "No one is chasing them closely...is it because they're afraid of revealing the location of their sect?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Xiaolu snorted, "These guys are pretty cunning!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There's a reason why they haven't been wiped out yet."

Soon two more travelers on horseback arrived, riding swiftly and in a hurry.

They were two middle-aged men, with knives at their waists, travel-worn and weathered.

The two red horses were also dirty.

Just as they were about to speed up, two young men from the Myriad Blood Sect suddenly emerged from the woods and landed lightly behind them.

They didn't even notice anything amiss until the two young men sat down and lightly placed their hands on their shoulders, at which point they froze, unable to move.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted and said, "Let's get started."

The extrasensory perception clearly showed them performing evil magic, their palms swirling like vortexes to absorb vital essence.

The two people in front of him were limp and powerless to move, and could be taken at will.

Chu Zhiyuan flicked his fingers.

The two finger strikes were as swift as lightning, twisting in mid-air before striking the two youths.

They were focused on absorbing the essence and blood, and before they could react, they were struck on the back of the head by the force of the finger.

Just as he sensed something was wrong and tried to dodge, he was already struck by the finger force.

Their heads swung as if struck by a giant log, their necks almost breaking.

Lu Xiaolu clapped her hands and exclaimed excitedly, "Great!"

Chu Zhiyuan pushed with his right palm.

Two palm prints condensed in the air and then struck a young man respectively.

They glided through the air for two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) before crashing heavily into the opposite grove of trees, then slowly slid down a tree to its base.

The two middle-aged men on horseback were pale-faced and limp, almost tumbling off their horses.

They clasped their hands in a gesture of respect to Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu, expressing their gratitude for saving their lives.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Lu Xiaolu said, "You all go ahead, but be careful on this road from now on."

"Yes, yes, thank you, heroine, thank you, great hero."

The two nodded hastily in agreement, mounted their horses again, and rode away, still shaken.

Chu Zhiyuan walked over and looked at the two unconscious young men at his feet.

Lu Xiaolu asked in confusion, "Junior brother, why not just kill them? Why spare their lives?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "We need to find out their background and strengths, what their trump cards are, so that we can take targeted measures."

Lu Xiaolu said, "They're all stubborn; you can't get anything out of them."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Senior sister, leave them to me. I'll figure something out."

"Are you also skilled in communication techniques?" Lu Xiaolu asked.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I know a little bit about it... Senior Sister, you go first, I'll catch up later, so as not to offend your eyes."

"...Okay, I'll go first, hurry up and come over."

Lu Xiaolu readily agreed.

She really didn't want to see how Chu Zhiyuan interrogated the two young men; just thinking about it, she knew his methods would be very cruel.

After she drifted away and disappeared from sight, a portal of light appeared, and Chu Liezhao stepped out.

He picked up the two young men, turned around, stepped into the portal, and disappeared without a trace.

Chu Zhiyuan got up and hurried on his way, watching as Chu Liezhao threw the two youths into a forest and activated the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion.

When the two young men awoke, they found themselves in an illusion, completely unaware of it, believing they had returned to the valley.

Soon, a group of experts surged into the valley from outside.

The two of them immediately joined the other disciples in the valley to fight back, manipulating the mechanisms within the valley to activate the statues, and the sect's hidden masters also appeared from the shadows.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Zhiyuan had a general understanding of the true nature of that valley and the Myriad Blood Sect.
