Chapter 763: Chapter 569 Inn, The Woman in Plain Clothes

Donglin Valley, the largest gathering place for demons and ghosts in the Northern Territories, is said to have the existence of the Heavenly Immortal Realm deep within the valley. Despite the Imperial Court’s yearly campaigns, Donglin Valley has never been completely eradicated.

It seems as though some sort of agreement had been reached between the two parties.

Humans were not to enter the deep parts of the valley, and the Heavenly Immortals of the Demon Race were not to emerge from seclusion. Both sides were free to slaughter each other on the outskirts of Donglin Valley to their heart’s content, with each being responsible for their own life and death!

The formation of Donglin Valley is said to have been caused by the Royal Family’s hunt of a Heavenly Immortal Demon long ago, whose bones turned into mountains and whose blood congealed into ice and snow, resulting in the valley’s perpetual ice-cold state.

Others say that the existence of the Heavenly Immortal within Donglin Valley is that very same Heavenly Immortal Demon, and the Royal Family never truly killed it, hence the reluctant agreement.

Regardless of the version of the story, for the Human Race, Donglin Valley remains a rare place for cultivation.

Moreover, positioned between Hantian and Ice Cold, two great cities, any unusual movements from the demons and ghosts within would be instantly detected, allowing them to be sealed and subdued at once!

Wang Yang took off the Blood Bracelet and handed it to Su Yue, then with a thought, he reiterated his instructions to Misfire once more.

Misfire made a response, agreeing to protect Su Yue’s safety, even though Misfire, through the Essence Blood of Wang Yang, had broken through to the Void-breaking Realm and was not as powerful as Su Yue, who was in the Late Divine Realm.

But in a true fight, Misfire’s combat ability would far surpass Su Yue’s!

Although Blood Centipede might seem nothing more than a Demon Beast, it possesses the bloodline of a Divine Beast and has an extraordinary talent, not only naturally wielding the Power of Laws but also capable of extremely rapid breakthroughs.

Unlike the Human Race, the Demon Race lacks the complex structures within human bodies, and as long as they have sufficient Spiritual Power, they can break through to the next Realm.

Su Yue took the bracelet and put it on her left wrist, nodding her head.

"Yue’er, even though you have comprehended ’Sword and Human as One’ in swordsmanship, to fully unleash the power of the sword technique, you still need a suitable Famous Sword!"

"If you find one that’s right, don’t hesitate. After all, it takes a long time to refine a Famous Sword into your Life-bound Magic Weapon!"

Wang Yang suddenly remembered this matter and began advising Yue’er, whose sword technique and swordsmanship had all been taught by him. Yue’er had been spending her time on sword techniques for these past five years.

Now that she had mastered the sword technique, the only thing missing was a suitable Famous Sword.

"Yue’er has taken note!"

Little Su Yue nodded her head, and Wang Yang, with an affectionate look, gently patted her head and spoke softly.

"If you encounter an unstoppable force, have Misfire inform me immediately!"

"Mm!"

Hantian City, Marquis of Mountain Suppression Mansion!"

At this moment, the gates of the Marquis Mansion were tightly closed. Seated high in the main hall, Marquis of Mountain Suppression, Li Bu, sat tapping his right index finger lightly against the tabletop, seemingly waiting for something.

Below Li Bu were the twelve Commandants of the Cold Wolf Army, but only eleven were present!

"Kun Dong is dead! He died at the hands of a youth from the Dali Temple, and the Sacred Object was also taken by that youth. What do you all think about this? "

Li Bu lifted his gaze to the sky and slowly spoke, breaking the long-standing silence.

The men exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting a mix of fear, confusion, mockery, and excitement!

"Marquis! Kun Dong had already made a breakthrough to the early stage of the Divine Realm. Although it was a recent advancement, his strength is indubitable!"

"Moreover, with the ten brothers of Kun Dong, we can form one of the Army’s Great Formations, capable of battling even those in the Late Divine Stage!"

"To my knowledge, there’s no youth above the Late Divine Stage in the Dali Temple!"

"So you mean to suggest, Xue Yong, that Kun Yue is lying?"

After listening, Li Bu chuckled, knowing the underlying meaning of Fifth Commandant Xue Yong’s words.

"I believe so!"

"Hmm! What about the others?"

Li Bu nodded in satisfaction and looked around the room, seemingly finding that Xue Yong’s answer wasn’t exactly what he was looking for.

"Marquis! It is evident that Kun Yue was intentionally released by that youth. With the nine brothers of Kun Dong dead, only leaving Kun Yue to bring the news to the Marquis, this youth aims to use the Marquis’ influence to eliminate others, pinning everything on the Dali Temple!"

"Correct! Continue!"

A smile finally appeared on Li Bu’s face as he signaled for the speaker to proceed.

"Yes! Marquis! If the youth were from the Dali Temple, according to their way of doing things, Kun Yue would never have made it back alive!"

"Furthermore, if the Dali Temple had sufficient evidence, our Marquis Mansion would not be this quiet, to put it precisely, Hantian City would not be so tranquil!"

"Then, how do you explain the Sacred Object?"

"This subordinate believes the youth’s goal or mission was the Sacred Object! After clashing with Kun Dong and others, he deliberately used the name of the Dali Temple to have Kun Yue return, intending to make the Cold Wolf Army and Dali Temple fight against each other while he reaps the benefits!"

Second Commandant Yu He, seated to the right of Li Bu, analyzed the situation and showed a hint of worry on his face.

The person capable of stirring up trouble between the Dali Temple and the Cold Wolf Army must have a terrifying background!

"Cheng Jin, I want to hear your thoughts!"

Li Bu’s eyes rested on the man in the first seat to his left. Cheng Jin sat with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, seemingly unaffected by the situation at hand.

Only when Li Bu called out did he slowly open his eyes.

All had been said by Yu He, and the Marquis must have already broken through the prohibition in Kun Yue’s Sea of Consciousness and knew the appearance of that youth. "Give it to me, and I will retrieve the Sacred Object."

"Take it!"

Li Bu seemed to have been waiting for Cheng Jin’s response, tossing the prepared portrait scroll to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin caught it and stored it away, not bothering to open it immediately. Li Bu rubbed his temples; this matter was truly giving him a headache. The higher authorities were still unaware, and there are no walls in this world that stop the wind from blowing through.
