C1262 Withholding Orders
This time, they had gathered two of their comrades to surround and kill Zhong Ming and the rest. After a day and night of fierce battle, the two Sacred Ancestral Saints had both fallen in this place, one of the Demon Lord was still able to escape safely in that situation because of his extremely profound escaping technique. The only reason he had escaped was because he had brought the news with him, which caused an uproar among the Demon Realm cultivators.
Although these people could do nothing about Zhong Ming and the others, Zhong Ming was also not careless, he knew very clearly that the great devils of Demon Realm must have something to do with him, or they were in closed door training, or else he would not be able to cross the Demon Realm. They could not do anything to him, because if they were to attack him, he would definitely not be able to stay in the Demon Realm, and would have already escaped to the human world.
This time, Zhong Ming did not come in vain, although his identity was very special, some of the Demon Clan people did not reject them, some of them even exchanged some spirit grass and tools that the Demon Realm did not possess, and gave Zhong Ming a path of escape, as well as a secret location. After all, Zhong Ming and the others were not dangerous to them, and did not kill them like the other Demon Clan Honored Warriors. However, those Demon Clan Honored Warriors could not do anything to Zhong Ming, as the bounty was not easy to obtain. Those who were willing to give it up had already lost their confidence, after all, the cultivation levels of the people who attacked Zhong Ming and the rest were not low.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Zhong Ming and the others stopped at a mountain and looked down, taking in the scenery of the place. There was a large canyon, and the surrounding mountains reached into the clouds, with steep cliffs and a stream at the very bottom, which was very wide, crystal clear, with green grass growing everywhere at the edge of the stream. There were also a lot of trees, which reflected the water very vividly.
"No wonder this place is called 'Red Blood Valley', but these stones look pretty good." Liu Xiang said.
"I've never seen such a wide canyon before. Look, there's a ferry up there. Where does it lead to?" Chang Qing's eyes were sharp, he actually found a ferry under the shade of a tree, and was heading over. Due to the different angles, only then did the others see it.
"It seems like this place is not sealed. There are still some Devil Cultivator coming in and out." Wu Qinian pointed to the Devil Cultivator s below and said.
"The situation here is unclear. You guys wait for me here, I'll sneak in to take a look." Zhong Ming said as he looked down at his emotions.
"One of them has a Sacred Ancestral level Devil Cultivator guarding it, aren't you in danger?" Knife Mist was worried.
"Don't worry, as long as I don't come face to face with the devil ancestor, they won't be able to sense the aura on my body. Moreover, the devil ancestor has been hiding from the world for many years, so he wouldn't coincidentally live here. Zhong Ming explained.
"Alright, we'll wait outside for your news." Xiao Ran patted Zhong Ming's shoulder and said.
Zhong Ming instantly transformed into a middle-aged cultivator of the Late Stage of Core Formation, and flew out of the mountain this time. After Zhong Ming left, he discovered that the mountain behind him had already been covered by clouds and mist, and looked like it was a concealment formation Xiao Ran had set up, so that no one would notice it. Only then did Zhong Ming leave in peace.
There were a few rafts here, and some people had even gone along the river after bargaining. When Zhong Ming arrived here, he had already discovered that there was actually a spatial formation that could only be used for walking, it was impossible to fly at all. If he wanted to go over, he would have to rent a boat or a raft to replace the means of transportation.
This was also the reason why wooden rafts would stay here. These people could earn a bit of service fees here and use them to buy Magic Equipment or Spirit Grasses.
Zhong Ming discovered that there was a forbidden array around, so he also found a secret place to rest. Right now, he was here to inquire about the matters within the Red Blood Valley, he did not wish to attract the attention of the other Demon Cultivators, so it was better to keep a low profile.
When Zhong Ming had just reached the pier, a young Devil Cultivator hurriedly ran over and said: "Senior, you must be planning to enter the valley. My raft is the quickest, and definitely the safest."
Zhong Ming saw that the Devil Cultivator was a late stage Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, but had a very simple and honest personality. Seeing Zhong Ming's respectful and respectful look, with his clear eyes, he could tell that it was a Devil Cultivator without any shrewdness.
Seeing that Zhong Ming only had a large number of him, and did not have the intention of being his boat, he hurriedly said: "Senior, please rest assured. I, Guan Xiao Wu, have already been sailing here for five years without deceiving Senior, and have absolutely no intention of deceiving Senior."
"There are many rafts here, and there are also quite a few boatmen. You can be sure that they are the fastest ones here." Zhong Ming asked suspiciously.
"Senior, it's not that I'm boasting, no one can match the speed of my wooden raft. If Senior finds out that I'm not being honest, I don't want the fees anymore. I'll give it to you for free, how about that?" Guan Xiao Wu asked probingly.
"I'll believe you this once. I have some urgent matters to attend to so I need to get to the Red Blood Valley as soon as possible. I hope that your boat doesn't disappoint me." Zhong Ming looked at the young man for a while. When he saw the look in the young man's eyes when he spoke, he knew that he wasn't lying. This time, he nodded and decided to sit on the young man's wooden raft.
Seeing that the senior had agreed, Xiao Wu was immediately overjoyed, and happily brought Zhong Ming to his raft. This was his third order today, so after coming down, he saved up Magic Stones s to buy the medicinal pellets he needed, feeling extremely good about it. When Zhong Ming sat on the raft, Xiao Wu waved his bamboo pole, and sent the raft into the stream.
No wonder he could move so fast. This brat did not boast about the speed of the sea, he was truly the fastest, and very quickly, he had surpassed some of the rafts that came out earlier than him.
"Kid, you're really not bad. You actually know how to use a low-grade magic tool. The faster you get, the higher your income will be. After taking away the cost of this magic tool, you'll still earn money." Zhong Ming praised.
Senior, this was not bought by me, it was left to me by my father, I heard that it has been passed down for many generations, and is a treasure that has fed our ancestors. With it, we can travel a few more times, and then we will have Magic Stones to buy some items to increase our cultivation. He was incomparably proud to have such a divine artifact.
This stage was very simple and honest for Xiao Wu, the words spoken were very truthful. That's right, a person who could afford a high level magic equipment wouldn't come here to earn a living, but this Xiao Wu actually didn't complain about his current life. Instead, he was very optimistic, which was rare.
"You said five years here. Are they residents?" Zhong Ming suddenly asked.
"Yeah, I was born here, my ancestors lived their lives by this. Back then, it was already good that we were able to eat our fill, but now we can still have extra Magic Stones to cultivate, so we're much better off than them." Xiao Wu sighed with emotion.
"Can I ask you some questions? About the Red Blood Valley. " Zhong Ming blinked his eyes and asked.
"That depends on what senior is asking. I'm just a small figure who has just entered the cultivation stage. I know a bit about the things that you know, but I don't know about the secrets, and people like us don't have the qualifications to know." Xiao Wu answered without even thinking.
From the tone of his voice, it seemed like there were a lot of people similar to him, as they all wanted to know more about the Red Blood Valley. With so many questions, Zhong Ming was already used to it.1
