Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"good!"

Faced with Gu Canyang's reminder, Lu Feng disregarded his curiosity and immediately took to the air, following closely in the direction the faceless little man had fled.

"Damn! This little thing is so fast?!"

Looking at the faint, blood-red shadow that was barely visible on the horizon, Lu Feng felt somewhat surprised.

Right now, he is not only going all out, but he has also pushed the Dragon Dance to its limit, but he can still barely keep up with the faceless little man's pace. If it were an ordinary martial artist at the tenth level of the Opening Meridian Realm, he would probably have been left far behind by the other party!

"Heh, that means the owner of this pool of blood must have died with resentment in their eyes..."

Inside the treasure basin, Gu Canyang's voice came again, with a hint of amusement, "Although I am the one who cast the spell, the specific effects of the Blood Soul Tracking Technique are generally only linked to the blood of the dead. However, the fact that this faceless little man is running so fast is enough to show how strong the hatred he harbored in his life was."

The stronger the hatred of the deceased, the stronger the effect of the Blood Soul Tracking Technique?

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Old Gu, according to you, this little thing is running so fast so it can get there sooner to take revenge?"

"That's right."

Gu Canyang nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, saying, "However, the Blood Soul Tracking Technique is merely a tracking technique that uses blood as a catalyst and has no destructive power. As for the last wisp of intelligence left in this faceless little man, it is entirely maintained by a wisp of my Yuan Power."

"In other words, once the duration of the Blood Soul Tracking Technique ends, it will turn into a pool of blood again."

"I see...!"

Lu Feng took a deep breath, then turned his gaze back to the faceless little figure speeding ahead. "By the way, Old Gu, will this little thing lead us astray in the end?"

"Hmph, what a joke!"

Faced with Lu Feng's curiosity, Gu Canyang snorted again, confidently stating, "This Blood Soul Tracking Technique is my specialty. As long as the murderer is tainted with even a trace of the deceased's blood or scent, they will not escape my grasp, no matter where they run!"

"Instead of worrying about all this nonsense, you should think about how to deal with the masterminds behind the massacre of the Kong family. Don't forget, these people are definitely not just one sect or faction...!"

Waaaaah...!

Just as Lu Feng and Gu Canyang were discussing countermeasures, the faceless little man, which was flying at full speed, suddenly stopped and fell into a huge valley below, letting out angry howls as if he had smelled the scent of an enemy.

"Is this the Valley of Corpses?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng also stopped, then concealed his aura and headed towards the entrance of the Burial Valley.

This Corpse Burial Valley is one of the few forbidden areas within the Eastern Cloud Kingdom. Not only are there rampant monsters and poisonous insects, but it is also rumored that man-eating ghosts dwell there. Even martial artists at the Opening Meridian Realm dare not set foot there, making it infamous. Even Lu Feng had heard of it.

"Whoa...!"

As the figure landed at the entrance of the Corpse Valley, the faceless little man waved and gestured towards the depths of the valley while emitting strange cries. The next moment, the man slowly collapsed to the ground, eventually turning into a pool of black blood.

"The Blood Soul Tracking Technique's duration has ended..."

Just as the faceless little man turned into a pool of blood, Gu Canyang's figure slowly floated out of the treasure basin, his gaze also fixed on the entrance to the Burial Valley opposite. "Clearly, the murderer who wiped out the Kong family is hiding in the Burial Valley. Lu family brat, shall we go in now?"

Swish!

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng did not immediately set off, but instead released a wisp of Yuan Power towards the Burial Valley opposite.

As this wisp of Yuan energy spread outwards, Lu Feng's brows furrowed even more, and his face became solemn.

Because the Valley of Corpses was far larger than he had imagined, and various auras were mixed together within it. With Lu Feng's current cultivation level, he was unable to identify the source of each aura, so he couldn't find any useful information at all.

"It seems we have no choice but to venture into the valley and investigate...!"

Withdrawing his Yuan Power Sensing again, Lu Feng did not hesitate at all. He immediately leaped into the Burial Valley and his figure disappeared into it.

...

Meanwhile, deep within the Burial Valley

A menacing group of镖局 (escort agency) members surrounded several Kong family martial artists on a cliff. The leader was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with a broad back and thick waist. His Yuan Power aura was terrifying, reaching the fourth level of the Spirit Soul Realm. He was none other than the famous Chief Escort of the Jiangnan镖局, Zhao Yihu!

As for the Kong family warriors who were surrounded on the other side, they were covered in blood and wounded. They were obviously exhausted and could not escape from Zhao Yihu and his group.

"Cough cough cough...!"

Surrounded by enemies, Kong Yan's pretty face turned slightly pale, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, almost collapsing to the ground.

"swallow!"

"Young Miss...!"

Seeing Kong Yan cough up blood and collapse to the ground, Kong Yi and the other surviving guards of the Kong family also changed their expressions slightly. They quickly helped her up and looked at Zhao Yihu and the others opposite them with apprehension.

"My two nephews, are you still going to resist even now?"

Zhao Yihu glanced at the badly injured Kong siblings opposite him, a strange smile playing on his lips. "Uncle Zhao has always been soft-hearted. Even after killing that old bastard Kong Youde, I didn't spare a single hair on your heads. Why are you two so ungrateful and insist on resisting to your deaths..."

"Pah!"

Before Zhao Yihu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kong Yan's angry voice, "Zhao Yihu, my father treated you very well in the past, almost regarding you as a brother in life and death. But you, you beast, not only betrayed my father, but also joined forces with those bandits from Qingtian Village to slaughter my entire Kong family. You are not worthy of being called a human being, and now you dare to spout such nonsense here...!"

Kong Yan clenched her teeth, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face flushed red. She was clearly furious and wished she could rush up and tear Zhao Yihu to pieces to avenge her father.

As for Kong Yi, the young master of the Kong family, who was standing to the side, he also looked solemn and was filled with anger.

The reason was that he never expected that Zhao Yihu, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of the Jiangnan镖局 (escort agency) who had a close relationship with his father Kong Youde, would betray the Kong family and secretly collude with the bandits of Qingtianzhai to slaughter the entire Kong family!

"Zhao Yihu, could it be that your special request for me and Yanzi to escort the goods to Dongyun Capital was also a conspiracy...?!"

As if remembering something, Kong Yi clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, his whole body exuding murderous intent, while he looked angrily at Zhao Yihu opposite him.
