Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Just out of the valley, a cultivator is encountered!

Before the president of the Polar Treasure Meeting arrived, these martial artists from the Soul Refinement Realm dared not act recklessly.

Compared with the Dragon Scale Beast, they were actually at a complete disadvantage, especially after believing that the death of Mo Yunhe was in the maws of a demonic beast, they had become even more vigilant.

Until, the president finally came.

"President, we were quite certain that there was Demon Qi here! It might be caused by a breakthrough made by the Dragon Scale Beast!"

A martial artist immediately reported.

"Hmph, a demonic beast that can’t survive in the depths of the forbidden valley and can only bully others on the periphery is not capable of causing much trouble! In which direction is it? Let’s go have a look. I’m not afraid of it coming out, but afraid it’ll choose to play turtle and hide its head!"

The president said with disdain, not taking the Dragon Scale Beast seriously at all.

The advantage of the Dragon Scale Beast over martial artists in the Soul Refinement Realm is night vision.

Although the president couldn’t see very clearly, as a cultivator, his sensitivity to demonic power was extremely acute.

He could feel any slight movement or rustling of grass.

Unless, the Dragon Scale Beast concealed its demonic power and chose to lie in wait, biding its time for them to come to it!

...

Meanwhile, in the valley.

"Master!"

Little Black had successfully refined the demon pill, not only shedding its skin successfully and being able to shrink its size at will but also acquiring the ability to speak human language!

"Hahaha!"

Lu Chen laughed wildly, with Little Black by his side, his chances of survival in the forbidden valley had significantly increased!

Man and beast working together could act as an overt spear or become a hidden arrow!

Lu Chen possessed a pupil skill, so his vision was not affected, and Little Black, being a demonic beast, could also pinpoint the location of enemies!

Beasts come, beasts die; men block, men are killed!

"Let’s go, taking advantage of the weakened barriers, we should head over there and wait in the deeper parts!"

Lu Chen changed into ordinary clothes, while Little Black shrank to the thickness of a finger and hid within his sleeve.

"Lu Chen, in the depths of the forbidden valley, there are countless demonic beasts on par with the Dragon Scale Beast, remember to be cautious!"

Before leaving, Mu Xiao instructed.

The other youths also showed signs of reluctance.

They had wanted to venture into the forbidden valley as well, but considering the changes at Heavenly Book Academy, naturally, they dismissed the idea.

Even Prince Qin Zhantian had met with misfortune, let alone them.

Status, in front of Heavenly Book Academy, was worth nothing!

"Lu Chen," the Elder of Heavenly Medicine also said, "deep within the forbidden valley, there are countless strange flowers and herbs, do not let yourself be blinded by them. Better first find the antidote herb to treat your injuries!"

"Elder Zhao, I know what I need!"

Lu Chen nodded, understanding that the Elder of Heavenly Medicine was reminding him that human greed could cloud judgment, and he should not be blinded by immediate benefits.

Having said that, he looked around at everyone and then spoke, "Actually, I still feel that within the forbidden valley, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart! Sometimes, humans are far more difficult to deal with than demonic beasts!"

His feelings ran deep.

From the beginning at the Lu Family to Li Mingru at Heavenly Book Academy.

Sometimes others welcome you with a smile, but in fact, they only seek to use you.

Even to say, in this valley, the Elder of Heavenly Medicine remains here also because of the interests involved.

It’s just that now their interests no longer clash, and the Elder of Heavenly Medicine had earned Lu Chen’s trust through his actions.

Mu Xiao slightly lowered her head and said, "I understand, this valley won’t let anyone in anymore!"

She realized Lu Chen was reminding her that soon countless martial artists would be entering the forbidden valley.

With more people, conflicts would rise, and it was likelier they would discover the valley’s location.

"Lu Chen, rest assured, I’ll look after Mu Xiao," said the Elder of Heavenly Medicine with a smile, looking at Mu Xiao, "I don’t want this valley to fall into the hands of others either!"

"Then I’m troubled, Elder Zhao!"

Lu Chen bowed with folded hands, and just as he was about to leave the valley, Sun Ming suddenly spoke, "Brother Chen, please wait a moment. We didn’t have proper tools, so this body armor is crudely made, better than nothing. Wear it; it might offer some safety!"

Sun Ming and Lin Rui presented a simplistic piece of scale armor, connected by long and slim vines.

"You have my gratitude."

Lu Chen intended to say he didn’t need it, but seeing Sun Ming’s hopeful gaze, he couldn’t bear to refuse, and so he took off his clothes and donned the armor beneath them.

"It’s quite a good fit!"

Lu Chen patted his chest where the scales, which he had once tempered with Fire Spiritual Power, indeed proved to be extraordinary.

They were light to wear and extremely tough.

"If there’s a chance, I’ll go back to the Sun Family and make a fine set of armor for Brother Chen!"

Sun Ming scratched his head and showed a simple and sincere smile.

"I appreciate it," Lu Chen patted his shoulder, and then with another bow to everyone, he said farewell.

But just as he squeezed through the narrow path, he immediately saw several figures approaching in their direction from afar!

Among them, one person gave off a feeling stronger than even the principal’s presence!

Lu Chen’s heart tightened, and he quickly utilized the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!

He saw that the person was clad in black, encircled by swirling spiritual power.

A cultivator!
