C330 Death Valley
Yinn Shaoge was right. As the commander of the three armies of Hengduan City, Marshal Sima had to convince the public with virtue.
If outsiders knew that he, Marshal Sima, was going to exempt Ye Lan from his crimes because of Seventh Princess, it would make people's hearts turn cold.
After all, the one who was seriously injured was Great General , who was guarding a region, as well as the major generals, lieutenants, captains, and thousands of soldiers under him.
How could such a serious crime be exempt just like that?
Furthermore, Marshal Sima did not immediately order Ye Lan to be executed. Instead, he made Ye Lan atone for his crimes. This was already a huge concession.
Of course, Ye Lan also knew the pros and cons of this. Therefore, he did not feel dissatisfied because Marshal Sima had made up for his mistakes. On the contrary, he was quite grateful to the other party, and also grateful to Yinn Shaoge and Seventh Princess for everything they had done for him.
"Young Master Ye, outside of Hengduan City City, there is an Abyss Canyon called Death Valley 100 miles away.
Recently, a spy reported that there was an unusual phenomenon in Death Valley. Marshal Sima was very concerned about the situation in Death Valley, so he ordered the three of us to lead thousands of Fire Lotus Army soldiers to Death Valley to investigate.
Young Master Ye only needs to go with us to Death Valley to atone for his crimes!
If we can get some useful information from the Death Valley, Marshal Sima will be exempted from Young Master Ye's crimes!"
Murong Dan said solemnly from the side.
"Death Valley?"
Ye Lan frowned slightly.
"If I remember correctly, Death Valley is the border between Dragon Abyss and Langxu Country.
Furthermore, that place is filled with danger and strangeness. According to the legends, countless experts have died there.
The weakest ones are Core Formation Ninth Layer, the strongest are Breaking Embryo Stage, and there are even some existences that are stronger than Breaking Embryo Stage!"
Finally, Ye Lan spoke again.
He had some understanding of Death Valley. In his previous life, he had entered Death Valley once. That time, Ye Lan's cultivation base was only at the Raw Infant Stage Realm, and he almost died there.
As for what exactly was in the Death Valley, Ye Lan hadn't investigated it in detail for a long period of time. He only knew that it was a dangerous place, and those who entered it would most likely die.
Back then, Ye Lan was able to return safely from the Death Valley because of luck!
"That's right! Young Master Ye knows a lot!"
Murong Dan said with a smile.
"Aren't you three afraid of death? Entering the Death Valley is a life and death situation. The chance of coming back alive isn't very high!"
Ye Lan looked at Murong Dan, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, and said with a bright smile.
"Afraid, of course I'm afraid of death. Who wouldn't be afraid of death if they lived their entire lives?
However, the current situation in Death Valley had a very important meaning to Marshal Sima.
He must grasp the situation in Death Valley, only then can he determine the direction of Langxu Country!"
" You mean there are traces of Warriors of the State of Langxu in Death Valley? "
"That's right. Apart from that, the spies have also reported that there are traces of ___ in the ___. There were also traces of the Myriad Devil Cult's disciples in the valley!
The Grand Marshal guessed that Langxu Country and Myriad Devil Cult must have found something in Death Valley, and that thing is very likely to determine the direction of the war between Dragon Abyss and Langxu Country. "
Murong Dan said with a solemn expression.
"Since it's that important, why didn't Marshal Sima go and check it out himself?"
"Ye Lan, the commanders of the three armies must stay in the army and stabilize the morale of the army. We can't easily leave the military tent to avoid disrupting the morale of the army!"
Murong Dan smiled bitterly.
"If that is the case, Marshal Sima has many capable people under his command. Why not send more reinforcements? Why only choose you three brothers to lead a thousand soldiers of Fire Lotus Army?"
"Originally, Marshal Sima planned to investigate the matter of Death Valley and assign the task to Great General Huang Hao, but now..."
Murong Dan had an embarrassed look on his face.
Hearing this, Ye Lan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"All in all, ever since Young Master Ye challenged the thousands of soldiers under Great General Huang Hao's command alone, our Hengduan City has been lacking a lot of troops to defend the city.
Fortunately, the various sects have sent a lot of disciples and experts, so we still have some people guarding the West City.
The Grand Marshal is able to transfer us three brothers and a thousand soldiers from the Fire Lotus Army to the Death Valley to investigate the situation. It is already not easy! "
At the end, Murong Dan continued to narrate.
"It seems that it would not be appropriate for me to not go.
Since Marshal Sima wants me to atone for my crimes, I'll follow you to Death Valley!"
Ye Lan said with a smile.
He had no choice. Murong Dan had already said what he wanted, how could he, Ye Lan, still have the nerve to refuse?
Furthermore, he was going to atone for his crimes, so he didn't have the time to bargain.
"I'm really grateful for Young Master Ye's understanding!"
Murong Dan said with a smile.
After that, he turned around and left the tavern. He rode his horse all the way.
"Shaoge, I'll have to trouble you two to take care of these Ye family disciples for now!"
Ye Lan looked at Yinn Shaoge and Seventh Princess and said earnestly.
"Don't worry! I will take good care of them."
"Are you counting on me?"
Seventh Princess smiled playfully.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute! My brother Ye Lan is very capable. How could the Death Valley let him die so easily?"
Black lines appeared on Yinn Shaoge's forehead as he spoke snappily.
On the side, Ye Lan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Enough, why did it become so big? This princess was just joking!"
Seventh Princess rolled her eyes at Yinn Shaoge gloomily. She puffed up her cheeks and had a face full of grievance.
"In the future, you are not allowed to joke like this!"0
"Okay, okay, okay, okay!"
"Ye Lan, be careful on your own road. Death Valley is indeed very dangerous. If there is anything wrong, just run away. Don't think about getting yourself punished for your meritorious deeds!"
Yinn Shaoge said in a low voice.
"Don't worry. I know what to do. As for you, don't be so fierce to Seventh Princess in the future. Girls must be pampered!"
Ye Lan smiled. After that, he left the tavern and followed Murong Dan and the one thousand soldiers of the Fire Lotus Army.
"Did you hear that? It's still your brother who understands the heart of a woman. He knows that girls need to be pampered. Don't be so fierce every day!"
... ""
Yinn Shaoge was speechless, and could only smile bitterly.
Yellow sand was rolling in the air, and waves of energy were rolling in the air.
Ye Lan sat on a warhorse and followed Murong Dan and thousands of Fire Lotus Army soldiers, leaving Hengduan City.
Thousands of people from the Fire Lotus Army were running on the desolate desert. The sound of horses galloping could be heard, and the yellow sand was rolling in the air.
In the sky, dark clouds covered the sky, and sand and stones were flying everywhere.
Outside the Hengduan City, there was a bleak and desolate scene.
After an unknown period of time, the sky gradually sank to the west. Ye Lan, along with Murong Dan and the thousands of Fire Lotus Army, had already traveled dozens of miles on their war horses.
In front of them, the dark clouds were gloomy, and the dark clouds were filled with thunder. The thunder kept roaring, and it gave off a strange and cold aura.
The ground was covered with white bones under the pressure of the dark clouds.
Some of the white bones had long since turned into dust due to the passage of time.
The piles of white bones were piled up on the surrounding ground, looking extremely sinister.
The wind blew past those bones and swept up the yellow sand. A sad and cold song reverberated between heaven and earth, so cold that it chilled one's bones to the bone marrow.
Furthermore, the closer Ye Lan and the others got to the area covered by the black cloud, the more they could feel a powerful cold aura coming toward them. It felt like it was going to freeze one's soul and body in an instant.
That extremely cold aura made many of the weaker Fire Lotus Army soldiers spit out white cold air.
Today, in the Hengduan City region, although it was not winter, it gave people the illusion that it was winter. Furthermore, the ground was filled with white bones, and the cold air lingering around it was even colder than the extreme cold of winter!
In short, Ye Lan and the other Fire Lotus Army soldiers were approaching the area of white bones. It was extremely strange and strange.
No one could tell where these white bones came from.
No one could tell where that extreme cold qi came from.
Tang Lei, Zuo Ge, Murong Dan, and even Ye Lan did not know.
However, they all knew one thing, and that was, they were very close to Death Valley.
Soon, they would step into the legendary ominous place!
Once they entered the Death Valley, life and death would be decided by the heavens!
