Chapter 1581: Chapter 1577: Claiming Lives!

Zheng Xipo took a deep breath, expelling a turbid breath before standing up and slamming his palm onto the sealed pile of chaotic stones!

In the blink of an eye, the stones shattered into dust, and clouds of dust billowed. Zheng Xipo waved his hand to clear away the dust in front of him and then stepped out, arriving outside.

"The air is so much better outside; I’m relieved I didn’t fail the breakthrough this time."

Zheng Xipo was in a great mood, having finally solved something that had puzzled him for a long time. Now it was time to take care of serious matters.

He quickly closed his eyes, and his Spiritual Sense reached out even more.

In the Secret Realms, a demi-God Realm’s Spiritual Sense wouldn’t be affected at all, but for participants below this level, it was uncertain.

He slowly spread his Spiritual Sense, but curiously, even after extending it over tens of kilometers, there was still no sign of Ren Feifan.

He couldn’t help but frown and mutter to himself: "Didn’t I tell this kid not to go too far? Where did this guy run off to now?"

Since he couldn’t sense Ren Feifan’s whereabouts, he had no choice but to go look for him himself. After all, he had consumed the Black Demon Lotus given by the other party, and therefore he must keep his promise to ensure Ren Feifan’s safety.

This was his most basic principle as a person.

Fortunately, he did have some Secret Techniques for finding people. It would just require some time.

Then, the figure of Zheng Xipo disappeared as well.

...

Valley of the Dead.

Ren Feifan had initially intended to rely on his sense of smell to determine Xu Shihan’s location.

But upon entering the Valley of the Dead, he found that he thought too much—the entire valley was permeated with a stench of death!

The thick scent of death made him feel so nauseous he wanted to vomit! And it completely masked Xu Shihan’s scent.

The trail was abruptly cut off!

Ren Feifan almost wanted to curse.

However, he didn’t lose heart because there was only one path through the entire Valley of the Dead, and Xu Shihan must be inside.

After walking about a kilometer, Ren Feifan indeed found that there was nobody in the Valley of the Dead, as if it had been forsaken by the Secret Realms.

But it was no surprise; this area was full of poisonous insects and plants, indeed unsuitable for cultivators to dwell in. Ren Feifan even saw piles of white bones, clearly some cultivators who had accidentally entered the valley and were then corroded by these poisonous creatures.

When Ren Feifan entered further, his eyes suddenly narrowed because he saw a participant wearing the Hidden Gate sect uniform lying on the ground.

Their breath was incredibly weak.

And their body was crawling with insects and snakes, which was quite horrifying.

This person was not far from death.

Under normal circumstances, Ren Feifan would not bother saving anyone, but things were different now; this was the only living person he had seen in the Valley of the Dead!

And he was the most likely to know about Xu Shihan’s whereabouts!

"Scatter!"

Ren Feifan exploded with energy, unleashing True Qi that shot out and instantly the insects and snakes disappeared, some even turning directly into mist of blood.

He hurried forward, supporting the participant with one arm and lifting them up.

He found that the participant had almost no life force left, their clothes were intact without any wounds, and their eyes were extremely empty!

This... this person had actually had their soul extracted!

Such a ruthless method!

Ren Feifan’s eyes flickered with a trace of rage, as soul extraction by the Hidden Gate was even more infuriating than draining someone’s essence blood and cultivation!

Immediately, without hesitation, he pinched a seal with his fingers and channeled a strand of Nine Yang True Qi into the other’s body!

Saving the person was a priority!

Ren Feifan was uncertain whether this man’s soul had been deliberately extracted or had been scared away by witnessing some terrifying event.

He could only try to revive the man, and even if successful, the man was likely to be disoriented.

But Ren Feifan also had a way to make the man answer his questions.

He drew a rune from the mystical space, known as the Calming Spirit Rune, this rune could stabilize one’s spirit!

He placed the rune above the man’s chest, then pinched a seal with his fingers, forced a drop of essence blood out, and pressed a finger on the man’s chest.

The surface of the rune flowed with a streak of golden light, penetrating into the man’s chest, and finally converging above the man’s head!

Quickly, the man’s complexion turned rosier, but his wide-open eyes were still hollow and were beginning to turn white!

Life had returned, but the soul was completely unstable!

Seeing this, Ren Feifan’s face turned slightly pale, this man must not die!

He pulled out more than a dozen silver needles from his hand and swiftly positioned them at vital acupoints on the man’s body, setting up a Soul-Condensing Formation!

This should at least allow his dissipating soul to coalesce somewhat.

Soon, beads of sweat appeared on Ren Feifan’s forehead, indicating the great toll this was taking on him.

After five minutes, the man’s eyes finally blinked weakly, still vacant but much improved from before.

Ren Feifan heaved a sigh of relief, aware that he couldn’t hold on much longer, he quickly freed one hand and took Xu Shihan’s photo to shake in front of the man.

"Have you seen the girl in this photo? Just point in a direction with your hand!"

As the words fell, the man tilted his head as if considering something, then suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction!

His hand quickly drooped down afterward, utterly devoid of life.

Ren Feifan had done his utmost, the man without a soul could hardly continue to live, especially since the soul had left the body for far too long.

For such issues, Ren Feifan was helpless; he might have sky-high medical skills, but he was no deity.

Alas, let’s just give him a proper burial, who knows who was so cruel.

Subsequently, a Longsword appeared directly in Ren Feifan’s hand, and with one strike, a vast pit was formed on the ground.

He laid the man’s corpse in it – the last thing he could do.

After everything, Ren Feifan headed towards the direction the man had pointed.

Looking at the situation, Shi Han likely hadn’t run into trouble yet, and it was uncertain whether the shadow of a strong presence in her body remained. If it did, that was good news because even the Valley of the Dead was nothing for that strong presence!

Ren Feifan rode the giant tiger and continued forward for several kilometers.

Suddenly, from miles away, Ren Feifan heard a thunderous noise, reminiscent of a charging army’s roar or thousand-horse stampede, and saw in the distance a waterfall cascading down like white silk, plummeting through the air.

For some reason, a powerful premonition drove Ren Feifan inward!

"Go quickly!"

The giant tiger roared and directly charged ahead, and soon, Ren Feifan arrived beneath the waterfall, seeing a massive waterfall with the girth of several dozen surrounds, like an enraged silver dragon plunging from mid-air, hitting the pool’s heart with thunderous water sounds, stirring up gusts of wind and spraying down like pelting rain.

And below this waterfall, a girl sat cross-legged, letting the waterfall wash over her!

At the same time, the Spiritual Energy from her body soared to the skies!

It was Xu Shihan!
