Sang suddenly felt the mountain peak beneath his feet tremble slightly. This time, the light on the mountain cliff did not disappear.The whole cliff glowed with a faint light, and within the light, a...“This person is very peculiar, dwelling in a gloomy and shadowy place within Wuyagu Valley. He wanders like a lost soul, his existence unknown for how long. Though humanoid in form, he appears to retain some consciousness and possesses great strength. What's even stranger is that this individual is highly skilled in the art of concealment, appearing and disappearing at will, and uses spells, yet doesn't resemble a living person…”

The Cloud Wanderer recounted his knowledge of the strange man in detail, a hint of bewilderment in his voice. "I initially thought he might have incurred the wrath of the bizarre restrictions within Wuyá Valley, hence being trapped here. Only now, upon sensing Tán Jié's aura, did I discover that there was a striking resemblance between his energy fluctuations and those of the strange man…"

Qin Sang listened, and the more he heard, the more he felt that Yun Youzi's description of this man resembled a walking corpse.

Moreover, according to Yun Youzi's description, this zombie is very powerful. Even if it's not a flying celestial demon, it was at least refined by a cultivator in the false Dan realm.

Could it be that a skilled practitioner of the Heavenly Corpse Sect met with an accident, trapping the zombie in the Endless Valley

Wuyagou Valley, located deep within the Tian Duan Mountains, is surrounded by demonic sects. Legend has it that the valley resembles a Netherworld, fraught with danger, yet holds opportunities for defying heaven's limits.

It is not strange that the demon cultivators of the Heavenly Corpse Sect are lurking in Wuyá Valley.

Qin Sang pondered for a moment before carefully saying, "To be honest, senior, if the strange occurrences are related to this mystical art, I do have some methods that could influence it. However, the influence is limited and I can't control it completely."

When he was at the Tian Shi Cave, he couldn't even control a Foundation Establishment early-stage corpse.

Because each Heavenly Corpse Talisman is carefully crafted by a corpse refiner, during the process of refining the Heavenly Corpse Talisman, the soul imprint is integrated into it. Although a person dies, the soul imprint remains.

Unless one is willing, it is almost impossible for outsiders to take their place.

The owner of that corpse must have already died. Facing the masterless Heaven Corpse Talisman, although Qin Sang couldn't control it, he could restrict the actions of the corpse through secret methods.

However, if the strength of the zombies is too great, how effective this restriction would be, Qin Sang also found it difficult to determine.

In case it really was a flying night demon, Qin Sang felt that it was best not to provoke it.

The Cloud Wanderer furrowed his brow and remained silent, lost in thought for a long time. Finally, he spoke to Qin Sang.

“Qin younger brother, the few places I know of, some are dangerous second only to Wuyá Valley. And even if you get in, you may not be able to cure my hidden injury.”

“At least, I have definite news. There is indeed a kind of medicinal herb in Wuya Valley that is useful to me.”

Although there are many dangers within the boundless valley, I know a route that can lead us safely into its depths. I've traveled it before and it shouldn't pose too much of a risk.

“After arriving at the destination, just need Brother Qin to help try it out, can you restrict that strange man. No need to kill him, if we can buy some time, it will be enough.”

“If it’s not working, I won’t force it. Let’s just withdraw immediately.”

“If I’m lucky enough to get in, the rest of the journey will be up to the old Daoist to take. Qin brother, you needn't continue adventuring, nor need you wait for me. Just quietly leave Wuya Valley.”

“Regardless of the outcome, Old Dao will appreciate your kindness, younger brother. After returning to the sect, even if I have to beg with this old face of mine, I will help you, younger brother Qin, ask the masters for a Harmony Pill.”

Since Cloud Wanderer had already brought it up, Qin Sang didn't want to refuse. He shook his head and said, "Senior, you flatter me. If you have the intention, I will gladly accompany you."

Wuyagou is located in Tianduan Mountain. He was planning to return to Shaohuashan to obtain the qi of Dizha. On his way back, he would make a stop at Wuyagou, which wouldn't take up too much time.

Moreover, the Cloud Wanderer himself made it clear that the danger was not great and he could withdraw at any time.

In addition, Qin Sang was also very interested in the zombie.

If the master of the corpse died nearby, there's a chance his bones are still around. Perhaps we could find clues to the latter half of the story even without the Cloud Wanderer's promise. It's worth the trip nonetheless.

"When are you planning to depart, senior" Qin Sang asked.

When Qin Sang agreed, Yun Youzi was also quite pleased. After a moment of contemplation, he said: "Inside Wuya Valley, besides that strange man, there are many bizarre existences and restrictions. I need to prepare some things to help me. It will be difficult to set off in a short time. Why don't we do this I'll return to my sect now to prepare, and we'll meet at the entrance of Wuya Valley in a year."

Qin Sang was surprised, "So urgent Doesn't Senior plan to wait for the Ziwu Secret Tome auction"

The Cloud-Traveling Son shook his head and said, “This old Taoist can’t afford the Purple Veil Secret Treatise, so I came here just to join in the fun. Naturally, healing my injuries is more important. After entering Tian Duan Mountain, Qin younger brother, remember to be careful about everything. It’s best to disguise yourself as a demonic cultivator and don’t expose your identity as a disciple of Shao Hua Mountain.”

Qin Sang was very confident and not worried at all about this.

As long as he reveals his corpse refinement technique, he won't need to disguise himself at all. He would be more like a demonic cultivator than any real one.

After further discussion and planning, the two agreed on a strategy. That night, Yun Youzi left Yinshan Pass and returned to his sect to make preparations.

Qin Sang also began to think about his itinerary for the future.

They agreed to meet again in a year. In such a short time, they wouldn't have time to return to Xankuang Pass. Luckily, Xankuang Pass was fine, so there was no need to go back.

When coming here, there was an ancient teleportation formation from Shangyuan Qingjing Palace. When going back, you could only walk the old-fashioned way.

After rescuing Shi Jian, he headed south directly back to Shaohua Mountain. He waited until the zombies were refined before setting off for Wuyang Valley, almost traversing the entire Xiao Han domain. Time was running out.

Thanks to this newly acquired Youluo Cloud Artifact, otherwise time would be really tight.

Fengcangfang City.

There are three safe routes into the ancient battlefield of Gushen from Yinshan Pass, each with a town or market situated on it, conveniently aligned parallel to one another and roughly equidistant from Yinshan Pass.

Fengcangfang Market is one of them.

Although called a market town, its prosperity rivals that of some towns.

Just like the Fangshi and Xiwang Town, it is not built within a secret realm but exposed to the outside world. The only time the protective formation will be activated is when the Heavenly Elephant attacks.

However, the terrain of Fengcangfang City is completely different from that of Xiwang Town.

Fengcang Pavilion was built on a mountain that grew out of the mire. It wasn't very tall, which was due to the strange terrain of Yinshan Pass.

The barrier protecting the great formation enveloped the entire mountain, so from the foot to the peak, houses were built layer upon layer, standing side by side, with almost no space left vacant.

There are many cultivators active in Fengcangfang Market, and you can see quite a few figures on the streets.

At the back of the mountain, rows of small houses were very crowded.

There are no lush forests or flowing streams here, no picturesque scenery at all. The only advantage is its tranquility.

Unbeknownst to them, these courtyards and the surrounding area were actually a valuable piece of land in Fengcangfang Market.

The spiritual energy here is very strong, which can serve as a cultivation cave for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment period. Although the courtyard seems unremarkable, it actually hides powerful restrictions. Cultivators can practice inside with peace of mind without worrying about safety.

Of course, ordinary monks couldn't afford to live in such a place.

In one small courtyard, there were only three wooden houses, which looked very simple.

The main hall was silent.

A young man sat cross-legged on a wooden bed, meditating in cultivation.

If Qin Sang were here, she would recognize him at a glance—he is Liang Yan!he news, the holy monks had already returned, and it was unclear whether the Venerable Huiguang was among them. From then on, Ganlu Zen Temple ceased its search and closed its doors to the public.Here...
