The Lord of the Dead clapped his hands and laughed, "Alright! Then let's go to my place. You two, come with me."

"good!"

Soul-Falling Valley.

The valley was completely silent.

There wasn't a single person in sight, not even a sound.

There was only deathly silence.

It was as if everyone had died.

It's not quite there yet, but it's close.

Deep in the valley.

Inside a palace that exudes a dim light.

Seven figures were suppressed in the center of the hall. They knelt on the ground, supporting themselves with their hands, and struggled to raise their heads to look at the familiar yet unfamiliar person on the high seat.

You's expression was filled with hatred. He roared, "You're not my brother! You're absolutely not! Who are you?!"

The Soul Messenger didn't care about anything else; who was sitting on top wasn't important. What mattered was surviving.

He pleaded in terror, "Valley Master, spare my life! I don't want to die! I'm willing to pledge my loyalty and follow you to the death!"

The Hungry Ghost Soul Envoy, Demon Soul Envoy, Earth Soul Envoy, and Asura Soul Envoy were not to be outdone, and successively expressed their desire to pledge allegiance, while only the Heavenly Soul Envoy remained unmoved.

From the moment the 'Lord of the Fallen Soul Valley' ruthlessly slaughtered the others, he had a premonition that their fate would be no better, so begging for mercy was pointless.

In the main hall, roars and pleas for mercy rose and fell. Interestingly, You's roar alone actually drowned out the pleas for mercy of the five Asura Soul Envoys.

Above the main hall, Yun Jie sat upright on the throne, leaning back gently, his right hand supporting his chin as he quietly watched the seven people below. He was considering whether to kill or spare them.

Currently, there are only eight people left in the entire Fallen Soul Valley, including himself; the rest have all been killed by him.

For Yun Jie, these people were all unstable factors. He was going to join Wen Wang and the others to rescue Wen Yu, so these people could not be allowed to live.

"Forget it, let's just kill them all."

It's a pity to kill someone who could cultivate to the twentieth level. However, they were from the Heavenly Gate, so they were destined to be different.

Yun Jie extended his left hand and grasped the seven people from a distance. The seven people exploded instantly, having been stripped of their Dao, and had no power to resist.

With a flick of his sleeve, Yun Jie made all the bloodstains and filth on the main hall disappear.

"It's time to take action."

Yun Jie gazed northwards, towards the direction of Mount Yong Sheng, and murmured a sentence.

Immediately afterwards, the Fallen Soul Valley shrank rapidly and finally fell into Yun Jie's hands. The next second, Yun Jie's figure shifted and disappeared from the spot.

······

Outside Mount Eternal Life.

"Second brother, do you think Boss Xing is reliable? Is the Valley Master of Fallen Souls really one of our people? That's impossible, right?"

"Second brother, do you think that person talking to us outside is really Boss Xing? Could it be that someone has inherited Boss Xing's legacy and is deliberately setting a trap for us?"

The Emperor has already spoken with the two kings, Wen and Wu, about the matter of the 'Lord of the Fallen Soul Valley'.

However, King Wu, upon learning this news, clearly did not believe it, and even doubted the true identity of the Human Emperor.

The main problem was that what the Emperor told them was simply unbelievable.

King Wen was silent for a moment, then said, "No, the boss is real, it's him, there's absolutely no mistake about that. As for what he said, it should also be true."

King Wu shook his head, still finding it hard to believe: "To possess a Forbidden Land Lord through the Heavenly Gate, it sounds like a fantasy. Even a leader at their peak couldn't do that, right? Besides, it's a human born from this tide, only a few hundred years old... This..."

At this point, King Wu could not continue. If what the Emperor had told them was true, then... he dared not imagine it, he absolutely dared not imagine it.

King Wen was much more magnanimous. He glanced at King Wu and chuckled, “Taishan, as the saying goes, every generation produces its own talents, each leading the way for hundreds of years. Our era has passed, and now it is the era of the moderns. They have surpassed us, so isn’t that only natural? As their predecessors, shouldn’t we be happy for them?”

“I know you’ve already believed it deep down, but you just can’t accept the fact that you, the old generation, have been swept away by the new generation. It’s okay, everything takes time, and you’ll accept it after a while.”

King Wen knew that Mount Tai was simply unable to accept such a startling fact all at once.

Actually, he was the same, except that his heart was a bit bigger than King Wu's, and he wasn't someone who liked to reveal things in the open.

After hearing this, King Wu said irritably, "You dare to criticize me? Haven't you ever had any doubts yourself?"

Having been brothers for so many years, how could King Wu not know King Wen's little secret thoughts?

“Ahem, I didn’t,” King Wen denied. “Let’s not talk about that. We’ll see when he gets here.”

King Wu snorted and said, "Hmph, don't I know you? You're so stubborn, scholars are so annoying, always so concerned about saving face."

King Wen glanced at him and said, "That's enough. Is this never going to end?"

After muttering a couple of things, King Wu reluctantly shut up.

after awhile.

King Wen rose and looked south, saying in a deep voice, "He's here."

King Wu: "Hmm? How did he know we were here?"

Mount Eternal Life is vast, and its outer perimeter is even larger. The two of them frequently changed their hiding places, never staying in one fixed location.

But now, the 'Lord of Fallen Soul Valley', also known as Yun Jie by the Human Emperor, is heading in their direction.

King Wen did not respond, but instead solemnly sensed the approaching aura.

Suddenly, King Wen looked down at his boots and instantly understood what was happening.

"I see, no wonder you were able to find us."

As he spoke, King Wen had a thought and erased a deeply hidden mark inside the boot.

This mark was actually left by Yun Jie with the help of Wen Yi. After all, when the Human Emperor sent the boots into the Heavenly Gate, he used Wen Yi's Heavenly Gate, so it would be easy for him to tamper with it.

It was at that time that Yun Jie deliberately left a mark in order to locate the position of King Wen and the others.

Although it's a bit impolite, it saves him the trouble of not being able to find King Wen when he needs to.

Just like now, he found the location of King Wen and the others in an instant, how convenient!

The moment King Wen erased the mark.

far away.

Yun Jie raised an eyebrow, realizing that his mark with King Wen had been erased.

That's understandable, though. If King Wen hadn't suspected there was something wrong with his boots by then, he wouldn't have deserved the title of King Wen.

Yun Jie did not look down on King Wen because his strength was inferior to his own. In fact, Yun Jie liked King Wen very much. King Wen was someone he admired at one time.

It's fair to say that almost everyone who knew King Wen wanted to be like him.

Yun Jie looked up in the direction where King Wen and the other man were, and smiled inwardly.

King Wen, we are finally going to meet.

······

In an unnamed valley.

King Wen and King Wu stared intently at the entrance of the valley.

A short while later, a figure appeared at the entrance of the valley, gradually becoming clearer and clearer.

On the way, Yun Jie transformed the appearance of the Valley Master of Fallen Souls back into his original form.

When meeting King Wen for the first time, one must present one's "true self".

"I am the Great Xuan King. I have long admired King Wen and King Wu."

Yun Jie was the first to greet them.

As he spoke, he carefully examined King Wen. As for King Wu, he was just a mere warrior and nothing to be interested in.

Well, Yun Jie still took a look. Although the title of King Wu was "Wu" (武), he didn't look rugged at all. On the contrary, he looked like a pretty boy. The moment he saw him, the word "pretty boy" popped into Yun Jie's mind.

No wonder he could marry eighteen wives...

Moreover, for some unknown reason, King Wu also changed into a white robe. If it weren't for their different auras, Yun Jie might not have recognized them.

Now, with Yun Jie included, there are three white-robed "youths" in the valley.

The three of them sized each other up, and the atmosphere gradually became somewhat strange.

"Ahem, have you two seen enough?"

In the end, Yun Jie chose to break his silence.

King Wu shook his head, as if to say he hadn't seen enough, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

So he quickly asked, "Are you really a human from this tide? Or are you lying? Maybe you're even older than us."

Yun Jie glanced at him. What's wrong? Is this fact so hard to accept?

Yun Jie smiled and said, "If this will make Senior Martial King feel better, then let's just do it."

"..."

King Wu: Well, we can't continue this conversation.

King Wen couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, let's not dwell on this."

"Your name is Yun Jie, right? Tell me your thoughts, what should our next move be? Should we launch a full-scale attack or...?"

Yun Jie came to provide support, and he is the strongest among them, so King Wen should listen to his thoughts.
