He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Just then, a hearty roar suddenly echoed through the night sky outside the manor:

"Old Tibetan devil! We're here!"

Where is this incredible opportunity you mentioned?

"If you dare to lie to me, I'll tear down this lousy village of yours!"

Upon hearing this, several elders of the Tibetan family, including Zang Tiansheng and Zang Liehuo, smiled.

Zang Tiansheng smiled and looked at Lu Chen, "Lord Lu Chen, these are some of my old friends who came after hearing the news."

Lu Chen, leaning back in the soft chair, slowly opened his eyes.

Behind him, Hua Xiyu's smooth, jade-like hands were gently touching his temples.

It gently slid down to the shoulders, pressing lightly and firmly.

The technique was skillful, and the fragrance of lotus was soothing.

"boom!"

Just then, more than a dozen powerful auras descended from the sky, crashing into the courtyard like meteorites, stirring up a cloud of dust.

As the smoke cleared, more than a dozen figures were revealed, the leaders all looking fierce and menacing.

With sharp eyes and a fierce aura, he was clearly no good person.

"Li Dazui! I didn't expect those old guys from Evil Valley to still be alive!!"

When Zang Liehuo saw the person who had arrived, his eyes lit up, and he burst into laughter, his tone filled with the excitement of a long-awaited reunion.

"You bald jerk! You're still alive, how could we possibly be?"

A burly, middle-aged man with a fleshy face and a particularly striking large mouth.

It was Li Dazui from the Valley of Villains who retorted without any politeness, his words sharp and unforgiving.

However, when he and his companions behind him saw the youthful and vibrant appearance of the Seventh Patriarch of the Tibetan Family,

They were all stunned, their fierce expressions replaced by shock.

"You...you've all broken through?!"

A figure with a thin face, sinister eyes, and a ghostly appearance, Yin Jiuyou, exclaimed in a hoarse voice.

They had known the seven ancestors of the Tibetan family for many years and were well aware of each other's lifespans and the troubles caused by old injuries.

Seeing that the other party was not only completely unharmed, but also rejuvenated and full of vitality, how could they not be astonished?

The seven ancestors of the Tibetan family exchanged a glance, their faces revealing mysterious smiles.

"Could this be... the 'great opportunity' you mentioned in your message?"

"Have you found a way to prolong life, heal wounds, and break through bottlenecks?!"

Li Dazui suddenly realized what was happening.

The voices were raised an octave.

A terrifying glint flashed in his eyes.

Zang Tiansheng nodded, then shook his head: "No!"

"I hate people who speak in riddles! Boss Zang, just explain yourself!!"

Li Dazui was an impatient person and immediately urged him on.

The people from the Valley of Villains behind him also cast anxious glances their way.

Zang Tiansheng, however, was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked with great interest at the two young men behind Li Dazui and changed the subject:

"Your Evil Valley is something else, you've taken on another new apprentice?"

Behind Li Dazui stood a boy with slightly curly hair, tied in a small braid, and a somewhat cynical smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, a young girl dressed in simple farm clothes, with a pretty face and a determined look in her eyes, immediately stepped forward.

"Junior Jiang Xiaoyu greets all seniors!"

Young Jiang Xiaoyu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his movements elegant and unrestrained.

"This humble woman, Jiang Yuyan, pays her respects to all the seniors!"

The young girl, Jiang Yuyan, gave a graceful bow, her voice clear and melodious.

"Haha, not bad, your Evil Valley has produced a worthy successor!"

Zang Liehuo touched his bald head and laughed heartily.

The other elders nodded in agreement, their gazes towards the two young men filled with admiration.

"Here, nice to meet you. This is a small gift for you."

The elder collectors were in high spirits and each took out some of their treasured trinkets.

They gave Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Yuyan various items, including elixirs, spiritual materials, and small protective magical artifacts.

These things might not mean much to them.

But for the two young people, it was of great value.

"Thank you, senior!!"

Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Yuyan quickly thanked them again, their hearts filled with excitement.

These senior figures were much more generous than their stingy masters!

Lu Chen, standing beside him, frowned slightly.

He keenly sensed that these guys who called themselves "Valley of Villains"

He carried a cold and sinister aura.

Unlike ordinary righteous cultivators,

More like... a demonic cultivator who has killed countless people?

"Xiyu, are these people... wanted by the authorities? Why do they seem to have such a chilling aura?"

Lu Chen used his mind to ask Hua Xiyu behind him.

"My lord, they are not wanted by the authorities."

Hua Xiyu's gentle voice echoed in Lu Chen's mind as she patiently explained.

"It's just that their professions are rather special, leaning towards the dark and eerie aspects."

For example, Li Dazui cultivates the "Blood Devouring and Essence Transformation Technique," which allows him to devour the essence and blood of living beings to cultivate.

Yin Jiuyou is skilled in the art of "Soul Binding and Soul Seizing";

There are also those who cultivate the "Evil Qi Technique" and the "Corpse Poison Technique"...

Many people and demons died at their hands.

They knew that their path of cultivation was not accepted by the world and was prone to misunderstanding.

That's why they came together and formed the "Valley of Villains" faction, banding together for mutual support.

They also established rules against indiscriminately killing innocent people, primarily targeting demons and other extremely vicious individuals.

"I see." Lu Chen understood and became more interested in this "Valley of Villains."

Cultivating malevolent energy, devouring vital essence, capturing souls and seizing spirits...

Just how powerful are these bizarre methods?

Will it have any special impact on me?

Hua Xiyu seemed to have read Lu Chen's thoughts, and with a hint of worry in her voice, she advised him:

"My lord, with your current level not even reaching ten, I'm afraid you won't even be able to withstand their imposing aura..."

Just as Lu Chen was about to retort by saying that his attributes were superior, Hua Xiyu changed the subject and revealed a startling piece of information:

"However, if my husband really wants to test their methods, I can help."

"My abilities lean towards support, and in addition, my fate is connected to my husband's, and we are of one mind."

It is possible to use a forbidden technique—'Twin Lotus Blossoms'.

"I will burn my lifespan to temporarily merge with my husband..."

"During the union, my cultivation, and even a portion of my essence, can be temporarily bestowed upon my husband, greatly enhancing his level and various attributes."

Moreover, as long as my lifespan hasn't been completely burned out,

Husband in a combined state

It's practically equivalent to having an 'immortal body,' able to instantly heal from any injury!

"That's amazing?!"

Lu Chen was completely stunned when he heard this.

Isn't this a "fusion technique" tailor-made for him?

Burn-in life?

It's not a problem for him at all!

As long as Hua Xiyu has the resurrection mark.

He can revive her at full health anytime!

"Would you like to try it, my husband?"

Hua Xiyu noticed Lu Chen's excitement and cautiously inquired.

However, her thoughts were tinged with an indescribable shyness.

Because once the "Twin Lotus Flowers" technique is used...

The two will be completely united in body and soul, their spirits almost becoming one.

There are no secrets or privacy left.

She has lived for nearly a thousand years and has never used this technique on anyone.
