Chapter 951: Chapter 971: What Are They Guarding After All?_1

Zhu Yao couldn’t help but suggest: "Should we go and take a look?"

Long Yan’er frowned: "The direction they are chasing is toward the Valley of Death."

Ji You turned to Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, what do you think? Should we chase or not?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Chen finally spoke decisively: "Don’t chase."

Zhu Yao muttered: "Such a rare opportunity. If we miss it, it’s gone."

Lin Chen explained with a bitter smile: "Over a dozen Cave Void Experts, if they can’t catch up, then it would be useless for us to follow. Moreover, once we enter the Valley of Death, we might encounter unpredictable dangers."

"If they do catch up, they will surely fight again, but judging by the pace just now, they were strong together but still couldn’t stop Jiang Rukong."

"We are just spectators, let’s not lose our lives for the sake of watching a show."

Long Yan’er agreed: "I support that. Let’s wait. I think whether they can catch Jiang Rukong this time or not, we should follow the main force to attack the Valley of Death. It’s safer."

Zhu Yao reluctantly turned around: "Alright, then let’s go back to have tea and continue waiting."

Everyone waited for an entire day.

"They’re back!"

Lin Chen and the others quickly rose into the air, looking in the direction of the Valley of Death, and sure enough, they saw more than a dozen figures rapidly approaching.

Lin Chen took a closer look, and his face instantly darkened.

"Something’s wrong."

Zhu Yao blinked: "What’s wrong? We can’t even see them clearly yet."

Lin Chen spoke solemnly: "There are fewer people."

Everyone’s expressions changed simultaneously, as they all understood what this meant.

Soon, the people neared.

Everyone’s faces grew more solemn.

Nine people!

They had left as a group of more than ten, but now only a few had returned. Many of them were covered in blood, and one even had an arm missing, which looked quite miserable.

The atmosphere at the Cultivator’s Camp boiled like water, and the crowd instantly erupted in commotion.

"Go!"

Someone in the camp quickly came forward to assist the injured.

"What happened? Where are the others?"

An old man spoke in a deep voice: "Jiang Rukong ran very fast. We pursued relentlessly, but he led us in a chase all around, unknowingly entering the core area. Then we encountered a bare-chested middle-aged man..."

Fear flickered in the old man’s eyes: "He wielded a black war blade and launched an attack on us. We joined forces against him but still couldn’t prevail. He defeated us one by one, killing two people. We started to flee when we realized that we couldn’t resist, and he chased and killed two more."

"If he hadn’t suddenly stopped chasing, and had continued to pursue us all the way, I’m afraid more of us would have died."

The onlookers were shocked.

The dozen or so big shots who had chased after Jiang Rukong might not have been at the Great Circle of Void Separation, but even more than ten Void stage cultivators working together couldn’t stop a single person with a blade?

Four Cave Void Experts were killed as easily as slaughtering chickens?

And they were chased like stray dogs?

"What about your Magical Treasures? Couldn’t they stop him?"

The old man said with lingering fear: "Our Magical Treasures couldn’t withstand his black war blade. With just one slash, any Magical Treasure would be cleanly chopped into pieces."

Everyone gasped in shock. The power of these people’s Magical Treasures was immense.

But they were all cut into pieces with one slash?

What kind of blade was that? How powerful was it?

Or perhaps, how powerful must this person be to wield such a devastating degree of suppression?

Above the Void stage was Crossing Tribulation. Crossing Tribulation was limited to three months, so cultivators shouldn’t be able to remain in that state for a long time, right?

"Could they be immortals?"

No one knew the answer.

Lin Chen’s heart sank after hearing all this.

The Valley of Death truly lived up to its reputation as a dead end. More than ten big shots entered, and almost all of them were killed.

And there was only one opponent!

A man with a bare chest and a black war blade...

What Lin Chen had seen last time was a white-clothed woman, which meant that there might be more than one Guardian in the Valley of Death!

What exactly were they guarding?

Jiang Rukong had been roaming around here for years without being killed. Was it because he was fast, or because he had a deep connection with them?

Or perhaps Jiang Rukong was also supposed to be like the white-clothed woman or the black-blade man, a guardian of the Valley of Death?

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, suddenly thinking it was very possible.

Both the white-clothed woman and the bare-chested man had apparently been in the Valley of Death for a long time, and like Jiang Rukong, they might have lived ten thousand years ago as well?

Lin Chen asked: "Does anyone here know that man?"

Lin Chen’s sudden interjection left everyone stunned, their reactions swiftly followed by shaking their heads.

"I don’t know him."

"It’s my first time seeing him."

Lin Chen shook his head and explained: "I know none of you have seen him before, but a person as powerful as him shouldn’t be unknown. What I mean is that he might also be a famous expert from ten thousand years ago, like Jiang Rukong..."
