To Mystic Moon Continent, Qishan was like a speck of dust in a desert. A small village like Qishan Village would have countless of them.
However, although Qishan Village was small and its reputation was low, the people of Qishan Village were the small mountain village with Star-Moon Empire closest to them, and the entire residents of Qishan Village were extremely hospitable as well. As long as they passed through Qishan Village, they would enter the borders of the Oss Empire.
Oss Empire and Star-Moon Empire were both large empires of Mystic Moon Continent, but there was an alliance between the two large empires. Furthermore, the current empress of the Oss Great Emperor was the younger sister of one of's mother, which was also Murong Qianqian's aunt Murong Yanran.
Just as Ye Guhsing and the group of people entered Qishan Village, a fifty year old old old leader along with more than half of the villagers came to welcome them.
As a small mountain village that was isolated from the rest of the world, it was difficult to see an outsider all year round. The arrival of Ye Guhsing and the others caused Qishan Village to instantly become lively.
In the beginning, Ye Guhsing and the rest were used to the strange enthusiasm from the village name, but in the end, the unfamiliarity was melted by the villagers' enthusiasm.
After exchanging some pleasantries, the old Village Chief was the first to ask, "Sir, judging from the way your group of people is dressed, they should be descendants of the nobles and officials. Where are you heading to, could it be to Oss Empire?"
"Old Village Chief, you are right. We do want to borrow the road to enter the Oss Empire from your Qi Shan Village. After all, if we were to travel from here to here, the medicinal effects of the journey would be reduced by half." Ye Guhsing said with a faint smile.
"Young master, there's no point in playing around. Absolutely not. This old man advises you to go back and choose a different route to enter the Oss Empire." The old man said anxiously.
"Old sir, what does this mean? Is there no way? " Ye Guhsing asked in confusion.
"Sigh, Young Noble, you don't know this, although the distance from our Qishan Village to the Oss Empire has been reduced by at least half, once we pass our Qishan Village, the mountain road will become abnormally rugged and dangerous, with just a slight mistake, we will fall into the deep abyss. A few years ago, there were some caravans that wanted to enter the Oss Empire from the Qishan Village, but in the end, all of them left in disappointment." The old man let out a long sigh and said.
"It's alright, sir. We are all cultivators, so half of the rugged mountain paths will not be difficult for us." Ye Guhsing said with a faint smile.
"Young master, this won't do, the old man knows that you are all capable people, but after we pass through Qi Shan Village, the mountain road is only one of the dangers, and more importantly, you have to pass through the Ghost Valley, where it is the most terrifying place is also where it is located. It is said that there are man-eating monsters everywhere in the Ghost Valley, and there were also people like Young Master who entered the Ghost Valley before, but none of them returned. The old man patiently advised Ye Guhsing, especially when talking about Ghost Valley, a trace of extreme fear clearly flashed across the old man's eyes.
"Ghost Valley?" After hearing what the old man said, not only Ye Guhsing, but even Ziwu Feng, his left hand and the rest revealed a trace of curiosity in their eyes.
With the cultivation levels of Ye Guhsing and the others, they had never gone to any of the dangerous places in the entire Mystic Moon Continent. From the Misty Swamp to the Darkness Abyss, it was so dangerous that everyone had to talk about the Blood Wolf Valley s within the colourful Mystic Moon Forest, how could these places not be as terrifying as the Ghost Valley s in the mouths of the villagers?
The few of them exchanged glances, then immediately decided to investigate the Ghost Valley that the old man mentioned. Who knew what fortuitous encounters there might be?
Old man Li seemed to be able to see the intentions in the eyes of Ye Guhsing and the rest, and anxiously asked again: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you really want to enter Ghost Valley?"
"That's right, Old Li, we came out this time to gain experience, so we are prepared to enter the Ghost Valley to see if there are man-eating monsters inside." Ye Guhsing laughed and said.
"Sigh, since you insist, this old man will not stop you. However, Young Noble, it is not good to go to Ghost Valley now, it is already late, you can just rest for the night in our Qi Shan Village. Rest your energy and enter the Ghost Valley tomorrow morning." The old man sighed, in his opinion, Ye Guhsing and the rest would not be able to return once they left.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder Li. We will temporarily disturb the villagers for the night." Ye Guhsing said.
Because there were more people in Ye Guhsing's group, and because Ye Guhsing did not want to reveal his Heavenly Medicinal Garden in front of the village name, Ye Guhsing thanked Old Man Li for his invitation and started a large bonfire in the air at the center of Qishan Village. Everyone sat cross-legged around the bonfire, waiting for daybreak.
In the middle of the night, when the entire village was immersed in a sweet dream, suddenly, a small and thin black figure quietly snuck over to where Ye Guhsing and the rest were at.
Although the black figure's movements were extremely careful, Ye Guhsing and the rest still noticed him at the first moment.
"Big brother, I'll go capture him!" His left hand transmitted his voice.
"No need, he doesn't have any killing intent on him. It doesn't look like he wants to harm us. We just need to wait and see what he wants to see." Ye Guhsing shook his head slightly and sent a sound transmission.
"Alright then!" He nodded with his left hand. Actually, when he found the black shadow, he did not feel any killing intent from it either.
The black shadow who was hiding in the shadows did not expect Ye Guhsing and the others to have discovered him. At the moment, he was crouching down, quietly hiding behind the walls of a house, staring at Ye Guhsing and the others who were by the bonfire.
"What's going on? What exactly is this fellow trying to do? " Two hours later, even Ye Guhsing was baffled by the black figure's actions. If the black shadow wanted to assassinate them, he didn't have a trace of killing intent on him. Plus, his strength was too weak, not even at the Houtian realm, at most eighth level Qi Cultivating Stage. But if it wasn't the assassination attempt, then what was that black shadow doing, staring at them and stealing their belongings? That's not possible. If he was going to steal some things, it would be about time he made a move after staring for so long.
Thinking about this, Ye Guhsing finally decided not to play with the black figure anymore, and signaled with his left eye.
Receiving Ye Guhsing's signal, the figure of his left hand flashed, instantly catching the black figure who was hiding in the distance and spying on them. Only after grabbing the black shadow with his left hand did Ye Guhsing realize that this small and skinny black shadow was actually a twelve to thirteen year old youth.
The young man seemed to be very stubborn. After being caught with his left hand, he did not shout out loud and instead struggled desperately. However, with his small body, how could he possibly escape the restraints of his left hand?0
"Brat, stop struggling. Tell me, why are you hiding at the side and staring at us?" Ye Guhsing said with a faint smile.
"Why did you catch me? I'm a villager from Qishan Village, and this is Qishan Village. Can't I get some fresh air at night if I can't sleep?" The youth said stubbornly.
"Appreciating the scenery? Boy, do you believe that? I noticed you long ago. You've been lying there for almost two hours without moving. Ye Guhsing said with a cold smile.
It was unknown if it was because of fear or the fact that his lie had been exposed, but the youth's face immediately turned red like a monkey's butt.
"Brat, you should tell the truth. Otherwise, I will treat you as a thief and hand you over to your village chief to deal with." Ye Guhsing threatened once again.
Ye Guhsing's threat seemed to have some effect, the youth immediately shook his head and begged for mercy: "No, you cannot tell the village chief, I will tell you everything, I will tell you everything."
"The reason I came out at night to watch over you all was actually because I wanted to follow you into the Ghost Valley early in the morning!" The youth spoke again after a moment of silence.
"Follow us into the Ghost Valley? Why? Don't you know how dangerous Ghost Valley is? " Ye Guhsing asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes, Ghost Valley is very dangerous, the village chief has ordered all the villagers in Qishan Village to absolutely not enter within five kilometers of the Ghost Valley. That year, my father accidentally entered the Ghost Valley to hunt in the mountains, and he didn't come out after that. My mother also lost her temper because of this matter, and died two years after my father went missing. There were many times that I wanted to enter Ghost Valley to find my father, but I was captured by the village head and a few uncles. Today, I heard that you all wanted to enter the Ghost Valley, and you all should be experts, so I wanted to follow you all to enter the Ghost Valley to find my father. Even if he dies, I wanted to bring his corpse back to accompany my mother's grave. " The youth said with a pained expression.
Hearing the youth's words, Ye Guhsing and the rest finally understood why this brat was quietly hiding at the side and peeping at them. It turned out that he wanted to follow them into the Ghost Valley.
"Kid, with this little strength of yours, if you meet a man-eating monster inside your Ghost Valley, you will die. We don't want to be a burden on the road. " Ye Guhsing said.
"No, I'm not a burden. Although my strength is low, since my mother died, I have entered the Ghost Valley's vicinity multiple times to investigate. I know of a safest way to enter the Ghost Valley, and as long as you bring me along, I will lead the way." The teenager shook his head in anger and said.
Hearing the young man's stubborn words, Ye Guhsing and the rest, after exchanging a look, suddenly started laughing loudly, especially with their left hands, they couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration. The young man in front of them, although weak in strength, had an extremely determined personality, similar to how they were when they were young.
"What are you all laughing at, I am not lying to you. I really do know of the safest path to Ghost Valley." Seeing Ye Guhsing and the others laughing so loudly, the youth thought that Ye Guhsing and the others wouldn't believe him and explained anxiously.
Hahaha, Third Younger Brother, this boy is really interesting, he looks just like you when you were young, how about it, do you have any ideas? This brat's talent is not bad, especially his perseverance, it is extremely rare amongst his peers, it would be a waste if he did not accept this kind of disciple. After laughing for a while, Ye Guhsing said to his left hand.
"That's right, Third Younger Brother, if you don't accept me, then I, second brother, won't be polite." Ziwu Feng also joined in.
Second brother, don't join in the fun, this guy is born to be a material for training in the way of the blade, if you want him to train with you, I'm afraid that it will be ruined. I will accept this disciple, but don't tell him first, this time after entering the Ghost Valley, I want to test his courage. His left hand unhappily stared at Ziwu Feng as he replied.
"Haha, Third Younger Brother, you are just a person with a cold face and a warm heart. Second brother, I don't dare to steal someone's beauty. " Ziwu Feng smiled and sent a sound transmission.
Hearing Ziwu Feng's sound transmission, a look of gratitude flashed across the eyes of his left hand, and he snorted at the youth whom he had captured: "Hmph, brat, we agreed to bring you into Ghost Valley, but listen carefully, once you enter, don't run around, if you run around, it will bring disaster upon everyone, not only will we kill you, the entire village will die, you know?"
"I know, I know, I definitely won't run around!" The young man nodded his head like a chick pecking rice.
