Ling Xiao was able to judge that these beasts were originally just ordinary animals. Then, they were swallowed by the power of the plague, leading to a certain mutation.
But from this one look, the strongest plague beast was just a rank one fierce beast, which was equivalent to a Rank One Transcendent Realm martial artist.
The other plague evil beasts were just equivalent to Martial Vein Realm martial artists. This was not a problem for Ling Xiao.
However, the strange thing was, allegedly, almost a thousand people used to live in this valley, but not a shadow could be seen.
Since the wild beasts were swallowed by the plague and had a mutation, what about people?
Ling Xiao had a very bad premonition in his heart.
“Originally, this Plague Valley had a Valley Master, who had the cultivation base of Late Rank Three Transcendent Realm. He was also a disciple of the Moonlight Sect. Unfortunately, after this incident in the valley, there is no news about this Valley Master.”
The commander of this garrison explained to Ling Xiao and others: “Young heroes, you all must be very careful. We suspect that the Plague Valley has a Rank Three Transcendent Realm powerhouse!”
Although this task was issued by the garrison here and the rewards were also provided by them, they didn’t know the details about the changes in the Plague Valley.
Ling Xiao had no intention to waste time here.
On his Landscape Map, a three-dimensional map of the entire valley had already appeared, which included every ditch, ridge and every corner that would be easily overlooked.
He just needed to look through it once and he would have a better understanding of this place than the natives here.
Therefore, although the valley was shrouded in dense fog, it was basically impossible for him to lose his way.
“Ling Xiao, why don’t you go in to check the situation?”
When Ling Xiao was standing there, watching the Plague Valley, Chen Zui asked.
“Senior Brother, this junior brother’s cultivation is lacking. If I enter this Plague Valley, then I’m afraid my little life will not be guaranteed. So, Senior Brothers should do this task.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
According to his judgment, as long as one was a Transcendent Realm powerhouse, the plague of the Plague Valley shouldn’t be an issue.
Naturally, this was limited to most plagues, but there was a manor in the Plague Valley, which appeared blood-red inside the Plague Valley. If one wanted to enter that place, the cultivation base should be at least Rank Seven Transcendent Realm, or should have cultivated a special supplementary martial art like Ling Xiao’s <Nine Demon Gods Art-Plague Demon King>.
After entering that place, one would certainly be corroded by the plague.
It was unknown if one would die or not, but it would definitely not feel good.
“Since we are letting you enter first, just enter, why are you talking so much nonsense!”
Upon hearing Ling Xiao’s words, Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei actually blocked Ling Xiao’s way to leave, only leaving a path leading to the Plague Valley.
“What do you want to do?”
Ling Xiao pretended to be scared and asked.
“What do we want to do? Humph, you will know after you enter the valley. If you want to survive, obediently do what we say, otherwise, we’ll send you to hell now!”
Chen Zui said with a sinister smile.
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I will enter!”
Ling Xiao hastily retreated towards the Plague Valley.
It, after all, was the garrison of the Northern Han Country here, so it was not convenient to make a move here.
However, the situation would be different after entering the Plague Valley. There were no living people inside. Even if he killed these three people there, no one would know.
Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shengguan Lei looked at each other and smiled.
They thought that Ling Xiao was just another person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. They had heard that this fellow was overbearing and even Jian Renwang was defeated, but today, upon seeing them, three Rank Three Transcendent Realm inner disciples, he was scared out of wits.
After entering the Plague Valley, Ling Xiao went straight towards that blood-red Plague Manor.
He had already checked the other places just now and determined that there was nothing unusual.
Only this manor, because of the blood-red plague, he actually was unable to see through it.
This was enough to explain that this place was very likely to be the place that produced the plague. Moreover, the so-called plague fierce beast might also be here.
In addition, those over a thousand people of the valley might also be here.
If he wanted to complete this mission, he must come here.
And in order to let Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei follow him, Ling Xiao maintained his speed.
At this moment, he was still not in a hurry to make a move. When all was said and done, these three people were Rank Three Transcendent Realm powerhouses. In case of any danger, these three people would be a powerful fighting force.
This sect task in itself was also strange. Even a Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm disciple of the Moonlight Sect was trapped here, so the matters might not be as simple as he imagined.
“Senior Brothers, this manor is a bit strange. Should we go in to take a look?”
Now, Ling Xiao was pretending to be intimidated.
He believed that these three fellows wouldn’t do anything to him for the time being. The reason was the same. He wanted to use these three people and these three people also wanted to use him.
“You go in first!”
Wan Yanjun coldly ordered.
“But Senior Brother Wan, the atmosphere of this place is strange, won’t I die after entering?”
Ling Xiao asked timidly.
“Stop talking nonsense, quickly roll in!”
Shangguan Lei directly took a step forward and kicked Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao used this force to enter the manor. On the surface, it looked like he was directly kicked into the manor.
“Hahaha, this kid is truly useless!”
Shangguan Lei laughed.
“Don’t be happy so quickly, I heard from Senior Brother Hei Suo, this kid is very cunning, let’s be careful.”
Wan Yunjun calmly said.
“Senior Brother Wan, you are too careful. No matter how amazing that kid is, his combat power should at most be equivalent to Peak Rank Two Transcendent Realm. With us three working together, could it be that we can’t kill him?”
Chen Zui said with disdain.
“Nevertheless, it’s better to be a bit careful. From now onwards, that kid’s every action will be under our close supervision.”
Wan Yanjin said seriously.
“But he has already gone in, should we go in too?”
Chen Zui asked.
“Wait a minute!”
Wan Yanjin thought for a bit and said: “This manor is so big, but he can’t escape. If this fellow can come out alive, then it means that there is no big problem in the manor.”
“Senior Brothers, come in, it’s fine here, but there is a living person here!”
Suddenly, Ling Xiao’s voice came from inside.
“Let’s go!”
The trio of Wan Yanjin entered the manor, and after passing through the courtyard, they arrived at the inner hall and saw Ling Xiao standing there with a half-dead old man lying beside him.
“Senior Brother Zhan!”
Wan Yanjin recognized the half-dead old man at a glance. He was unexpectedly this valley’s Valley master, and also a disciple of the Moonlight Sect.
When Wan Yanjin was still an outer disciple, this Senior Brother Zhan was already an inner disciple. Unfortunately, his potential was limited. Even after cultivating until he was a hundred years old, his cultivation base was still Rank Three Transcendent Realm. Therefore, he returned to this valley and became the Valley Master.
He was hoping to live just like this for the rest of his life.
After all, even the Transcendent Realm martial artists also had a lifespan of two hundred years or so, and Senior Brother Zhan had already reached the later stage of his life.
