Epilogue - Valley of Desolation (Six)

As long as you make him comforta...Although Jue Ran was very curious about what lay behind this hidden formation, he knew that now was not the time to be inquisitive.

If it were just her and Zhongli, perhaps she would be curious enough to investigate. But now, with the well-being of Ye Bufan's two daughters at stake, she couldn't afford any carelessness.

"My ladies, I think it's best we leave. Let's get out of here!"

"It's alright, there's no need to be so anxious."

In contrast, Ye Yao Mei remained calm. "My sister is very good at formations. It won't be long before she breaks it..."

Before she could finish her words, Ye Luoshan on the other side had already started to break the formation.

I have to say, the little girl's mastery of formations is impressive. Although this hidden formation was high-level and complex, she managed to break it in no time.

Just two or three minutes later, a surge of mystical energy arrived, followed by the disappearance of the hidden formation. A stone door appeared before the four of them.

Ye YaoMei first used her divine sense to scan the inside, making sure there was no danger, then reached out and pushed open the door.

The stone door was very heavy, and when it opened, a flight of stone steps appeared below. The air was thick with the smell of decay; it was clearly evident that no one had been here for a long time.

Four people, skilled and bold, descended the steps. At the end, they came to a stone room, about twenty or thirty square meters in size. Hanging in the center was a skeleton – or rather, what remained of a human being.

The flesh had long since rotted away, leaving only a bare skeleton hanging in mid-air.

To everyone's astonishment, the skeletal hand clutched a yellowed piece of parchment, upon which blood-red script was penned.

Besides that, the room was completely empty.

“Who is this person Why are they being held here with such elaborate precautions”

Out of curiosity, the four people's spiritual awarenesses all swept past that yellow piece of paper.

Upon seeing the contents above, his expression changed drastically. With a thud, he knelt at the foot of the skeleton.

"Master, what brings you here Who did this to you"

The parchment was originally a blood-sealed book, with the opening clearly written, "Lao Shen Ge Danhong, final words written here."

This person is exactly the master of Jue Ran and Duan Feng, the former Valley Master of Jueqing Valley, and the previous Taishang Elder Ge Danhong.

More than a hundred years ago, Ge Danhong suddenly disappeared from the sect, vanishing without a trace. Jueqing Valley searched high and low for many years but found nothing.

Before Ye Bufan and his group had stirred up quite a commotion in Jueqing Valley, causing chaos and pandemonium. However, no powerful cultivators from the Transcending Tribulation stage intervened. This was precisely because the only Supreme Elder had gone missing.

Before, I had searched for my master many times, but found nothing. I never expected that after over a hundred years, his remains would appear in this secret chamber.

"Don't cry first, look at what's written on the blood letter."

By contrast, Zhongli Wei remained relatively calm, calming down Jue Ran who was sobbing uncontrollably. The group then began to examine the blood letter.

The blood letter wasn't very long, just over a thousand words or so. Everyone finished reading it quickly, and their eyes flashed with bone-chilling coldness.

"This damn bitch, not only is she shameless, but she's also so vicious!"

The blood letter clearly stated that on that day, Duan Feng was caught having a tryst with a man in black by Ge Danhong.

Due to the rules of etiquette, she naturally reprimanded him loudly.

At that moment, Duan Feng wept bitterly, knelt down and admitted his fault, stating that he would die to atone for it. After saying this, he used a short knife to commit suicide. Ge Danhong immediately stepped forward to stop him.

It turns out that it was all fake, a charade, meant to capture her attention.

Just as she was about to make her move, Duan Feng and the black-cloaked adulterer simultaneously blocked her acupoints. Afterward, they directly crippled her cultivation and imprisoned her here.

His cultivation was abolished, and there would be no chance for him to rise again. In despair, Ge Danhong left behind a blood letter and then committed suicide.

Duan Feng outwardly adhered to the rules of her sect, but secretly she had an affair with someone and gave birth to a child. If that were all, it might have been tolerable, but after being exposed, she went so far as to betray her master and ancestors, which caused outrage beyond measure.

"I'm going to kill her, I'm going to avenge my master."

Furious Jue Ran was about to go find Duan Feng desperately, but Zhong Li held him back.

"Don't be impulsive. Revenge can wait. Going there now would be suicide. Besides, even if we die, it doesn't matter. There are still two young masters here. We need to leave immediately."

After saying those words, Jue calmly regained his composure. First, he collected Ge Danhong's bones, and then the four of them left the stone chamber and quietly escaped the dungeon.

Shortly after they left, the valley behind them was filled with commotion, clearly signs that someone had escaped from prison.

Four people ran all the way, and after about two hours, they moved away from Jueqing Valley and appeared in a vast valley.

Zhongli Mei said: " Duan Feng imprisoned us in the dungeon. Even if the two young masters are skilled, they can't get us out so easily."

"That black-clothed person's cultivation is terrifying. With his divine sense, he should have discovered us escaping long ago. It's strange that there's no movement until now."

Absolutely frowned, as the head of a sect he wasn't someone without brains, and realized the problem too.

"It seems so. The only two possibilities for escaping Absolute Despair Valley so smoothly and undetected are..."

Either they are not within the sect, or they deliberately let us leave.

"Deliberately let us go That's impossible"

Although Ye YaoMei is intelligent, she is still young and inexperienced in the world. She was surprised, "Why would they let us in here if all this is ruined"

"Here, we take care of things cleaner, leaving no trace."

As soon as the words left his mouth, three figures appeared before them. They were Duan Feng, Fu Haitao, and the masked man in black.

Fu Haitao burst into a fit of triumphant laughter: "Well What do you think You didn't expect this, did you It was all my father's plan."

Now everyone in Absolute Valley knows you escaped. If we kill you here, no one will know it was us.

This man grew more and more arrogant, his eyes scanning Ye Yao Mei and Ye Luo Shan with a lecherous gaze, "You two little sluts, kneel down and beg this young master now, or you'll have no chance of living."

Ye Yao Mei spat viciously: "Damn you, you bastard! I'll chop your head off and use it as a ball one day!"

Du Feng looked at Jue Ran, his expression cold and grim: "Junior sister, I originally wanted to spare your life because you were from the same sect, but since you're so reckless and discovered that secret chamber, there's no other way but for you to die."

"Treacherous to one's master and ancestors, worse than pigs and dogs, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"

Rage surged through him, he was ready to fight with all his might, but Ye YaoMei grabbed him before he could.

No need to rush, we'll get revenge later!t's settled then."Ma Da Jiang let out another filthy laugh.Ye Bufan went out and saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but frown, it seemed that these people were really clueless.His expression i...
