Chapter 1225 Danger
After retreating about a mile to the mountainside, Lu Xiaolu asked with a grave expression, "They've come to see the Evil Lord?"

The one she feared most was the Evil Lord.

They remained hidden and inconspicuous, and their target of vigilance was also the evil lord.

She was confident she could escape unscathed if faced with other skilled opponents.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly: "It seems you want to meet the Evil Lord in secret... Why in secret? Is there some conspiracy at play?"

He frowned inwardly.

He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun had already been killed by him, and their souls had been collected by Chu Liezhao.

He never mentioned killing the two evil lords to anyone.

That's too shocking and really unnecessary.

Now that the two evil lords are dead, who will they come to see?

According to He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun's memories, there was no order for them to come secretly.

Who posted that?
Or is it something this middle-aged man fabricated himself, or is there some other evil deity?

In He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun's memories, there were no other evil lords.

He was filled with doubt and curiosity.

“The Evil Lord’s words…” Lu Xiaolu frowned slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Is Senior Sister worried that she can't hide it from the Evil Lord's senses?"

"Can we hide it from them?" Lu Xiaolu asked.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It is said that this is the secret technique passed down by the Evil Lord. Whether it can be concealed is hard to say."

“Then let’s give it a try.” Lu Xiaolu’s bright eyes sparkled as she said softly, “I haven’t dealt with the Evil Lord before.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, "That's too risky... Why don't we inform Senior Sister Qi and ask her for help?"

Lu Xiaolu gently shook her head: "Senior Sister Qi is very busy, let's do it ourselves. You are not like before, if we join forces, there should be no problem!"

Chu Zhiyuan has already reached the ninth level, making him one of the top experts.

In addition, Tianjian is no weaker than his senior sister, and he has a series of profound secret techniques. Coupled with his keen intuition, his Demon-Subduing Blade is also amazing.

With him around, it's safer than with my senior sister.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly: "Then we'll follow him secretly and see if we can see the Evil Lord."

This was just what he wanted.

He spoke in circles because he had figured out Lu Xiaolu's temperament and knew how to achieve his goal.

Lu Xiaolu said softly, "If our senior sister finds out, she will definitely scold us."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "Just take a look, no need to take action."

“Evil Lord…” Lu Xiaolu’s bright eyes sparkled, both nervous and excited.

She had some knowledge of how terrifying the evil lord was, and was even more eager to see it for herself.

The two approached again, slipped into the woods, and listened to the three talking.

The middle-aged man was scolding the two in a low voice: "We were just careless. We didn't expect the city guards to mobilize experts for defense. We underestimated them and that's why we are like this. We'll recover in a couple of years. Look at you two, so dejected!"

"Yes, elder!"

The two men straightened their chests and nodded solemnly.

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Alright, take good care of your breathing. We'll go see the God at daybreak."

"Elder, why do we only see the Divine Lord at dawn?" a young man couldn't help but ask. "Can't we go see him immediately?"

Another young man said, "Wouldn't it be more private at night?"

The middle-aged man glared coldly at them.

They shrank back and shut their mouths.

The middle-aged man said irritably, "We must obey the deity's orders, not ask why!"

"Yes!" the two young men answered solemnly.

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "Shut up and regulate your breathing!"

The two young men completely calmed down, closed their eyes, and began to regulate their breathing.

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu once again gracefully retreated, without a sound.

After walking about a mile, Lu Xiaolu sent another telepathic message: "Junior brother, they won't make their move until tomorrow. Should we keep watch all night?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Xiaolu turned her head and looked around, then whispered, "Are there any other demons around?"

"There shouldn't be any more within ten miles... Senior Sister, would you like to kill a few more demons while you're at it?"

"Since we're just killing time anyway, is that all?"

"Not that I know of."

Lu Xiaolu said helplessly, "Then we can only stay here all night. It's so boring."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Senior sister, you go back and rest first. I'll stay here tonight. You can come back tomorrow morning."

"How is that possible!" Lu Xiaolu rolled her eyes at him and scoffed, "If you want to guard, then guard together!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Otherwise, we can both go back tonight and catch up at dawn. We'll be able to find them anyway."

“…Just one night!” Lu Xiaolu shook her head.

This is a big deal, and there's no room for being delicate. It's just too boring, so be it.

Seeing his reaction, Chu Zhiyuan stopped trying to persuade him. The two found a cave, took two pieces of bluestone, and gently scraped them with their swords until they were smooth.

Chu Zhiyuan also took out two apricot-yellow cushions from his sleeve.

The two sat down on separate cushions, closed their eyes, and remained motionless.

Chu Zhiyuan's expression was solemn, and his mind was focused on the Yongquan acupoint.

A mountain peak has appeared at Yongquanqiao, and along with the mountain peak, there is also the earth.

A range of mountains is vaguely taking shape, like a series of peaks shrouded in thick fog.

With the continuous infusion of spiritual power and the light of merit, the Yongquan acupoint has become a secret place.

The secret place he saw in the Little Outer Heaven contained both land and mountains.

However, the spiritual energy poured in was not enough, the earth and spiritual peaks were not solid enough, and the trees on the mountains and rivers were not clear enough.

This requires painstaking effort and a continuous infusion of mental energy.

Success will come with perseverance.

Whenever he has time, he pours his spiritual energy and merit into the Yongquan acupoint.

A night passed with little progress.

……

At dawn, Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu opened their eyes, stepped out of the cave, and were bathed in the light mist and fresh air.

Lu Xiaolu stretched lazily and sighed, "Finally, one night has passed. Have they left yet?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Shall I go buy some food?"

Chu Zhiyuan took out two pieces of dry food from his sleeve and handed them to her: "Make do with this to fill your stomach."

Lu Xiaolu took it and ate the dry food with a grin.

Only when you're full can you escape quickly if you encounter an evil lord.

She felt a surge of excitement at the thought of meeting the Evil Lord.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Let's go."

He floated forward.

Lu Xiaolu quickly swallowed the dry food in her hand, stretched her delicate neck rather inelegantly, and hurriedly followed.

The two entered the woods silently, and as they approached the three, they discovered that they had already begun to move.

The two followed behind and traveled north for about 150 li in one go, until they arrived at the outside of a valley.

Chu Zhiyuan's expression was solemn.

This valley was outside of my own cave's illumination, and my extrasensory perception failed to detect it.

Especially when you're inside the imperial city, you won't even notice this valley.

More importantly, a thick fog shrouded the valley, blocking his view of the cave.

Could this be an old lair?

This resembles the characteristics of an evil sect's lair, with a strange aura that isolates the cave from light.

It is actually a power similar to spiritual power, which is the power of the Evil Lord.

The three stopped when they reached the outside of the valley.

A young man couldn't help but ask, "Elder, where is this place...?"

"Our secret altar," the middle-aged man said calmly, "must never be revealed."

"Yes!" the two replied hastily, their eyes gleaming as they exchanged a glance.

For some reason, the word that came to their mind was: silence.

Will we two be silenced?

This secret altar has always been kept hidden and has never been known within the sect. Is it because anyone who knew about it was silenced?

Another young man lowered his voice: "Could the God be here?"

"Hmm." The middle-aged man said calmly, "The God appeared to me in a dream and told me to come here. Let's go in and see the God."

"Yes." The two young men exchanged a glance and nervously stepped forward.

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu followed behind, entering silently.

The two men were very close to the three of them and could clearly see their footwork.

This valley is different from other evil sect strongholds; it has only one evil lord statue, which stands in the white jade square in front of the main hall in the very center of the valley.

At this moment, a young man in white robes sat cross-legged in front of the ten-meter-tall golden statue.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly waved his hand.

Lu Xiaolu stopped.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly retreated, and Lu Xiaolu followed closely behind, exiting the valley.

After leaving the valley, Chu Zhiyuan frowned, his expression solemn.

He didn’t feel any danger when he was outside the valley, but as soon as he stepped into the valley, his hair stood on end.

This is a far more dangerous omen than encountering the giant monster or the three evil lords from before.
