Chapter 283 Crossing the River
After listening to Mei Qingta's words, everyone re-examined the stream.

Although it is a clear river, it is only a valley with a limited distance in the middle. The stream comes from underground and returns underground. Only this short distance is on the ground, so the extremely yin energy must be difficult to dissipate completely.

"I've heard the legends about the River of the Underworld. If this is the Dark River of the Underworld, how could the Bloodclaw Pigeon, which flew across the sky without getting its hands dirty, end up like this?" Bai Yueguang continued, looking at the little horse across the stream. "And how could that little horse be unharmed?"

Mei Qingta said calmly, "That's because of the natural environment of this valley. The water vapor from the stream rises, and the extremely yin energy in the caves at both ends also overflows and rises into the sky, which is why this phenomenon occurs."

“Look at the clouds above this valley. Aren’t they different from other places? That’s because the extreme yin energy has accumulated over time and hasn’t dissipated.”

Everyone then looked up at the sky and saw large, fluffy clouds above the valley. These clouds were quite different from ordinary clouds; they looked thick and dense, as if they could be drawn into threads. They had never seen such clouds anywhere else.

The weather is quite nice today; apart from the valley above, there are very few clouds to be seen in other places in the distance.

"So, unless we have the ability to fly and reach the clouds, there's no way we can cross this river?" Zhu Hongzhi said.

“That’s not necessarily true.” Mei Qingta looked at the pony and said, “If you want to avoid being harmed by the extreme yin energy, there are only two ways. One is to possess pure yang energy, which can resist the extreme yin energy, and then you will not be harmed by it.”

"The second method is to have a pure Yin constitution or cultivate a pure Yin secret method. Such people or secret spirits will not only not be harmed by the extreme Yin energy, but will also benefit from it."

The group of people were all quick-witted. After hearing Mei Qingta's explanation, they immediately understood that the little horse must be a secret spirit with a pure Yin constitution. Therefore, it would not only be unharmed by the extreme Yin energy, but would also enjoy drinking the water of the Dark Yellow Spring River.

"There are very few people who cultivate the secret techniques of pure Yang and pure Yin. I'm afraid we won't be able to cross this stream." Zhu Hongzhi thought to himself with secret joy.

Everyone had the same thought: since they couldn't cross the river, they could either turn back or pick some mushrooms on the spot and then go home.

Mei Qingta's gaze swept over the group, finally landing on Chen Guan's face: "I remember that Battalion Commander Chen was born on the night of the 15th of July. People born on that day naturally possess an extremely yin constitution and can cross the Yellow Springs River."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan frowned inwardly and said calmly, "Inspector Mei is being a bit arbitrary. Many people are born on the night of the 15th of July. If everyone has an extremely Yin constitution, then this extreme constitution is too worthless."

Mei Qingta said calmly, "Others may not be the case, but without exception, everyone who can enter July 15th Island has an extremely Yin constitution. This has been verified. Our Inspection Department has investigated most of the people who have entered July 15th Island, and all of them have an extremely Yin constitution. Battalion Commander Chen can rest assured that the water of the Dark Yellow Spring River will not only not harm people with your constitution, but will actually benefit them."

Chen Guan looked at Mei Qingta, unsure whether what Mei Qingta said was true or a trick to lure him into going there, using the stream to kill him, and whether what she said was just nonsense.

Regardless of the possibility, Chen Guan himself was not afraid. He already possessed the Pure Yang Sword Immortal body, and even without that so-called Extreme Yin physique, the extreme Yin energy of this river should not be able to harm him.

“Even if I can get through, what about the others? I can’t explore alone,” Chen Guan said.

“Of course we can’t let Battalion Commander Chen take the risk alone.” Mei Qingta looked at Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi: “I remember that Battalion Commander Bai cultivates the Taiyin Profound Art, which is a pure Yin secret technique. Battalion Commander Zhu cultivates the Taiyang True Understanding, which should be a pure Yang secret technique, right?” In that instant, Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi’s expressions changed, because their own secret techniques were special, so they had never revealed their secret techniques to outsiders. This Mei Qingta actually knew everything about them.

Chen Guan, however, had more on his mind: "That's strange. The Heavenly Court Army only transferred three Third Awakening Deputy Commanders to the Qilin Legion. How is it such a coincidence that one of them practiced Pure Yin and the other Pure Yang?"

This made it hard for Chen Guan not to suspect that there might be some scheming involved.

After Mei Qingta finished speaking, he added, "I will also cross the river with the three of you, and the four of us will continue to explore inside."

Having gone this far, Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi could find no excuse to refuse, and their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Battalion Commander Chen, let's cross the river." Mei Qingta's gaze fell on Chen Guan again.

"After I cross the river, I don't know who will be next?" Chen Guan couldn't disobey orders, so he changed the subject.

"What kind of answer do you want to hear?" Mei Qingta seemed to see through Chen Guan's thoughts and said coldly, "You just need to cross the river. Other things are not for you to consider."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan understood that Mei Qingta was most likely there to harm him. The stream was probably not as Mei Qingta claimed. Even if it were true, with his supposedly Yin constitution born on the fifteenth of the seventh month, he wouldn't be able to cross the river.

"Who exactly wants me dead? Is it the judge? Or is someone using the supervisory department to make people mistakenly believe that the judge wants to get rid of me?" Chen Guan's mind was in turmoil.

"Since Battalion Commander Chen is so afraid, Battalion Commander Zhu, you should cross the river first." Unexpectedly, Mei Qingta changed the person in charge and let Zhu Hongzhi cross the river first.

As a soldier, Zhu Hongzhi naturally could not disobey orders. He could only activate the True Understanding of the Sun and use the Hundred Refined Vajra Divine Body to walk towards the stream.

He chose a relatively narrow spot and jumped across, landing perfectly fine on the other side.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and Zhu Hongzhi was overjoyed. What Mei Qingta had said was indeed true; his Pure Yang Secret Technique could indeed withstand the extreme Yin energy emanating from the stream.

Next, Mei Qingta asked Bai Yueguang to cross the river, and Bai Yueguang leaped across without incident; the stream indeed could not harm her.

Chen Guan did not relax because of this; on the contrary, he became even more suspicious that Mei Qingta wanted to kill him.

Both Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi proved that Mei Qingta's speculation was correct. If Chen Guan died here while crossing the river, it could only be said that Chen Guan himself had a problem, and at most Mei Qingta would be punished for improper command and misjudgment.
