Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

The real danger during this journey through the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains is not the Bewitching Valley, but the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

Those were two powerful demons at the Integration Realm, one of whom was a bull demon who had met him before and witnessed him traveling with Hua Qingyao.

In addition, when they participated in the Wanbao Assembly at Jiuxian Mountain in the past, the two demons also joined forces with Granny Xiong from Poison Dragon Island in the outer sea, as well as another being at the Integration Realm, to ambush Hua Qingyao.

He was inside the flying boat at the time, and if it weren't for the Sky-Splitting Talisman given to him by True Monarch Wanhua, he would have died long ago.

Therefore, he has an indirect grudge against these two, and coupled with his relationship with Hua Qingyao, once she finds out, there will definitely be no good outcome.

Fortunately, he had thought of this long ago, so he made ample preparations before setting off, especially in terms of concealing himself. In addition to the secret technique of concealing his aura, he also had no less than a few top-tier treasures.

It can be said with certainty that as long as he does not actively reveal himself, those two will absolutely not be able to sense the slightest trace of his presence.

Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, Mo Juren transformed into a shadow and fled at lightning speed. Because his aura was completely concealed, the magical fluctuations he stirred up wherever he went were almost nonexistent.

Not to mention the two powerful demons at the Integration Realm who were nowhere to be found, even the numerous groups of demonic beasts encountered along the way were completely unaware of it.

Before long, he arrived at the outer edge of the Bewitching Valley with remarkable ease. Looking at the familiar scene at the entrance, he felt somewhat dazed.

Back then, having lost all my magical powers, I was extremely cautious when facing this valley, but now there's absolutely no need for that.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately plunged in.

The Bewitching Valley is actually not long, only a few hundred miles long. In the past, he had no magic power, so it took him almost half a day to pass through it. Now, of course, there is no need for such trouble.

A few hundred miles is just a short distance for him now, and has no impact whatsoever.

The only thing that is still considered 'troublesome' is the dozens of Soul-Devouring Butterflies in the valley. These things are immortal and indestructible, and even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is powerless against them.

But it's just a nuisance; it doesn't really threaten me, so I just need to ignore it.

Just as he had expected, he encountered the Soul-Devouring Butterfly again during his escape. However, with his lightning-fast speed, the butterfly didn't even have time to react before he had already quickly moved away.

As for pursuing them, the Soul-Devouring Butterfly is far too weak; it's simply impossible.

A short while later, he flew out of the valley, looked at the familiar 'red soil hills' area in front of him, smiled slightly, and then transformed into a five-colored rainbow light and soared into the sky.

It wasn't far from the location of Tian Sha Valley either, about tens of thousands of miles away. It took him less than half a day to finally reach his destination.

"Heavenly Fiend Valley!"

Upon landing, Mo Juren looked directly at the billowing gray fog that 'filled the heavens and earth' in front of him, and felt an instinctive sense of melancholy.

I never imagined that after so many years, I would have the chance to come back again.

Next, he entered, but at that moment, he suddenly frowned slightly.

The Heavenly Fiend Valley is filled with endless malevolent energy. Once you enter it, your spiritual sense will be greatly affected and will be almost useless.

Not to mention him, when he accompanied Hua Qingyao into the valley, she mentioned that even a Nascent Soul Realm expert couldn't sense very far distances.

While one's spiritual sense is relatively good, eyesight is more affected, unless one possesses some special spiritual eye-type secret techniques.

His Eye of Destruction is a prime example; it is the nemesis of all evil energy in the world, and therefore he is not affected in the slightest, allowing him to see extremely far distances.

However, that's all. The area of ​​the Heavenly Fiend Valley is so vast that finding a target solely by sight would be incredibly difficult.

He had indeed made a mark back then, but after so many years, it's obvious that it must have been completely corroded by the endless evil energy. Therefore, it would be impossible to find that mysterious canyon by following the original path.

Right now, he only has one option: to start searching again.

This is naturally not easy, but fortunately he doesn't need to worry about the time he spends in the evil aura. Also, although the mark he left behind is no longer there, he has entered twice and can roughly determine the location, so it's not too difficult.

Thinking of this, he didn't delay any longer. He immediately had a thought, and in an instant, golden light flashed between his eyebrows, which then enveloped his entire body.

The next instant, he charged straight into the billowing gray fog.

……

In a certain area of ​​the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, a magnificent palace complex has been built. Inside the main hall at the very center, a dozen or so figures are gathered together.

A man and two women sat atop the high platform at the head of the group. The man was tall and robust, with a pair of golden horns on either side of his enormous head. Although his appearance was somewhat ugly, his aura was extremely imposing.

He had two women nestled in his arms, one on each side. They were only at the Nascent Soul stage, yet they were incredibly beautiful and alluring. Their clothing was also extremely daring, with large areas of their snow-white skin exposed on their chests and legs.

Below the platform were other transformed demon races. Apart from a few who were relatively normal, the rest were all strangely shaped and exuded demonic energy.

The demons whispered amongst themselves, clearly discussing something, while the burly man on the main seat of the high platform was deep in thought, fiddling with a letter.

"Has the Azure Wing King not returned yet?" At this moment, the burly man suddenly looked down at a brown-haired man and asked.

"Not at the moment, but I did pass on a message to my subordinates three years ago, saying that there was some progress on that matter, but it was not yet certain." The brown-haired man shook his head slightly.

"Any progress?" The burly man's lips curled into a slight smile.
"That's good. I hope he can return soon."

After finishing this matter, he waved the envelope in his hand, then changed the subject,

"Let's all share our thoughts on this matter."

“I happened to be away from home recently. The matter of Blood Soul Child is indeed true, but this person is truly extraordinary. The Heavenly Fox Clan and the lineage of the Carefree Ancestor have both dispatched many powerful individuals and even issued a bounty, yet they have still been unable to find any trace of him.” A middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes and blue skin answered from the left side.

"Blood Soul Child, I heard of his name more than ten thousand years ago. He is indeed a figure of great importance. However, his actions are too extreme. He will stop at nothing to increase his strength, even slaughtering hundreds of millions of mortals for blood sacrifice to refine treasures. Such ruthless acts are something even we demons would 'be ashamed of'." On the right, another white-haired old man with deer antlers spoke up again. Upon hearing this, the blue-faced man sneered repeatedly.
"To slaughter ordinary mortals in order to increase one's strength, what kind of person is that? More like a demon or heretic. Although our demon race is a dog-eat-dog world, with constant infighting between clans, that's just a survival instinct. Such heinous acts of wantonly killing our lower-class members are absolutely unacceptable. His execution by Fairy Linghua back then was entirely deserved." "Brother Lan is absolutely right. However, this person does have some tricks up his sleeve. He managed to escape death back then and hid in anonymity for thousands of years before cultivating to the peak of the late-stage Void Refinement realm to seek revenge."

This is an incredible level of endurance; the resilience of their will is beyond imagination. It's best not to offend such a formidable figure unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if we anger them and they retaliate without hesitation, everyone in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, except for the two Great Kings, will likely face immense danger.

"Brother Lu is right, we really cannot act rashly in this matter." The blue-faced man nodded, his gaze sweeping over the demons, and spoke again.
"Although it was the order from the Heavenly Fox King that mentioned that Blood Soul Child might have escaped to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, as long as he doesn't cause us any harm, it's best to turn a blind eye."

“The Heavenly Fox King’s orders are not to be disobeyed!” another female demon suddenly reminded him. However, upon hearing this, the blue-faced man gave a cold laugh.
"As one of the seven top demon kings, the Heavenly Fox King is indeed extremely noble, but that does not mean that our Ten Thousand Demon Mountain lineage must unconditionally obey his orders. If it were just an ordinary matter, we could help, but this matter is very likely to threaten the lives of everyone present, so it is naturally a different story."

"If we slack off, what if this gets back to the Heavenly Fox King..."

"What slackness? Of course we were going to 'search with all our might,' but the other side was too cunning and we were not capable enough, so we couldn't find them."

“That’s right, that Blood Soul Child is indeed extremely troublesome. The Heavenly Fox Clan and the lineage of the Carefree Ancestor sent out so many powerful experts and even offered a bounty, but they still couldn’t find any trace of him. It’s reasonable that our Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is powerless to do so. We can’t blame them just because we can’t find him, can we?”

"The demon race isn't solely ruled by the Celestial Fox clan. Our Azure Wing King is even related to the Black Eagle Demon King by blood. What can they really do to us..."

"..."

"..."

The demons discussed amongst themselves, but their message remained consistent: they would outwardly comply but inwardly defy the Heavenly Fox King's orders, but only as a formality and not take them too seriously.

Of course, everyone was just offering their suggestions; the real decision rested with the burly man on the platform.

However, throughout the entire discussion, the other party remained calm and silent, making it impossible to discern their thoughts.

Only when all the demons turned their gazes did the burly man nod slightly, then looked at the blue-faced man and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to do your best and satisfy the Heavenly Fox King."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the attribute will definitely be 'all-out effort'." The blue-faced man understood the other's meaning perfectly and immediately stood up to make his assurance. Sure enough, upon hearing this, the burly man nodded.
"That's settled then, everyone may go your separate ways."

Having said that, he didn't linger any longer, but instead turned and left, his arms around the slender waists of the two beautiful enchantresses...

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months had gone by.

Unfortunately, Mo Juren still couldn't find the location of the mysterious canyon.

He was speechless. He thought that knowing the general location would make it easier to find, but he never expected that after more than two months, he would not even see a trace of the mysterious canyon.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. The Heavenly Fiend Valley was too large, and with the inability to use divine sense and the limitations of eyesight, the efficiency of the search was greatly reduced.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. In any case, the endless malevolent energy couldn't harm him, so he had plenty of time and would eventually find it.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and just as he had expected, after searching for more than two months, he finally saw the location of the mysterious canyon.

"Luckily, I didn't change the direction recklessly, otherwise I might have missed it." Mo Juren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had wavered and wondered if he had remembered wrong since there had been no results. Fortunately, he chose to persevere in the end, otherwise, things would have gotten much more complicated.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately stepped into the canyon. However, when he was about to continue forward, his expression suddenly changed and he stopped.

“That is…” Mo Juren suddenly looked at a certain spot on the ground, where there was a pool of blood. Although it had long since dried, it was still clearly visible.

In an instant, he realized that someone else had been here, and judging from the bloodstains, it hadn't been long, perhaps less than a month.

Mo Juren was immediately alarmed.

What kind of place is Tian Sha Valley? It's not a place that just anyone can enter, let alone come here.

In his mind, only Zidian's former master, the later Immortal True Lord, and himself had ever been there.

It was clearly impossible for the master of Purple Lightning to be the one, and besides himself, the only other one was the Undying True Monarch, but the latter had been severely injured and captured years ago and had been dead for many years...

wrong!

Mo Juren suddenly thought of a possibility: although the Immortal True Lord had died, he mentioned before his death that he had left behind a route map.

If anyone else finds this map recently, it's almost inevitable that they'll come here to seek their fortune.

The reason it happened recently is quite simple: if it had been found earlier, it would have been here long ago. How could it have been so easy for him to get it back then?

The secret realm contains a 'Creation Purple Orchid', a top-grade sacred medicine born from endless thunder. It contains supreme creation power, and no matter how great the injury, as long as one orchid is consumed, one can be completely restored.

Furthermore, the power of creation contained within the purple orchid possesses incredible and miraculous effects, capable of fundamentally transforming a cultivator's aptitude. For example, the lightning spiritual root that was born within his body originated from this.

Such an incredible opportunity would surely tempt anyone who knew about it.

Unfortunately, he had already consumed all three remaining flowers of the Creation Purple Orchid, leaving only the stems, which were now useless. Even if someone came, they would ultimately have to leave empty-handed.

"Who could it be?" Mo Juren wondered to himself, but he dared not be careless at all. He suppressed his aura and magical power fluctuations to the extreme, and even disappeared into the ground before fleeing at high speed towards the central area of ​​the canyon.

He soon arrived at the location of the deep pit. The huge stone platform in the central area was still intact, and this was the entrance to the secret realm.

He did not act immediately, but hid in the shadows and observed carefully for a while. Sure enough, as expected, there were still spirit stones remaining in the thirty-odd recessed areas around the stone platform.

This also means that someone has indeed found this place and has already entered the secret realm through the teleportation array.

Faced with this situation, he fell silent, racking his brains for a solution. (End of Chapter)
