Chapter 261: A Strange Death

hse unable even to stand.At that moment, the Yan Yao, hearing Ling'er's voice, turned his head and stared straight at her.Her third eye on her forehead spun wildly."A grandmaster at such a young age L...Why are only the teams from various sects here in the Falling Immortal Valley Aren't there any other martial artists Fang Yu asked.

“Because the news about the opening of Zhuixian Valley hasn't been fully spread, only the major sects in Huaibei should know about it,” Su Lengyun said.

Fang Yu nodded.

10:30 AM.

A blue-robed elder appeared and transmitted with his true qi, "The time has come, the second batch of sects can enter the valley."

As soon as the elder spoke, the teams from all major sects immediately entered the Valley of Falling Immortals.

Su Lengyun wasn't in a hurry. She waited for the sects ahead to enter first, then began walking forward.

Fang Yu was walking beside Su Lengyun.

The Canghai faction's team followed closely behind, entering the Valley of Falling Immortals.

……

The blue-robed elder of the Tiānxīng Mén, silently watched as one group after another entered the valley.

Not a single soul remained until he reached the mouth of Zhuixian Valley, then he turned and prepared to leave.

At that moment, a man wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared before him.

"How are things going How many people have entered Juixian Valley" the man asked.

The blue-robed elder's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "About as expected, roughly over three hundred people have entered the valley, coming from over twenty different sects."

"Over three hundred people... not bad, quite a haul." the man said.

The blue-robed elder stroked his beard and said, "My task here has been completed. After the success of this matter, I hope you will not forget what is due to our Tiānxīng Mén."

The man smiled and said, “Rest assured, Master Zheng. Our Wuhshen Sect has always valued its reputation. Besides, those magical artifacts, herbs, and jade ornaments mean nothing to us.”

The blue-robed elder nodded and, remembering something, said solemnly: "You must make sure to keep everyone inside."

"If anyone escapes and tells what happened inside, not only will our Tiānxīng Mén be finished, but your Wūshén Jiào will also be doomed!"

"Master Zheng, you needn't worry too much about this. We will definitely handle it well." the hooded man said.

"Hmm." The blue-robed elder folded his arms and looked towards the Falling Immortal Valley ahead, a cold glint in his eyes.

……

"Master, those people from the Cangying Sect have been following us!" A female disciple noticed this and walked forward to tell Su Lengyun.

Su Lengyun knew the Cangying Sect was following behind her, but she didn't want to pay attention.

She came here to bring her disciples to practice, there was no need to clash with the Cang Ying Sect.

"Just ignore them." Su Lengyun said.

At this point, they had reached the first fork in the path leading to Di Xian Valley.

Su Lengyun stopped in her tracks and didn't move forward any further.

The Cang Ying Pai team walking at the rear also stopped.

Pang Tao looked at Su Lengyun, who stood motionless, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Master, we…" A disciple stepped forward.

"Let's go this way," Pang Tao said.

As for dealing with the people in Frost and Cold Palace, he wasn't in a hurry to do it immediately.

We're still at the outer edges of Zhuixian Valley. If there's a conflict, people from Shuang Hanguan could easily escape to outside the valley.

To take action, one must act at a deeper level.

……

Seeing the Canghai Eagle walk down the left mountain path, Su Lengyun chose to walk down the right one.

Fang Yu naturally had no objections.

As we went deeper, there were no dangers, just increasingly rugged mountain roads.

And the deeper you go, the more forks in the road you'll encounter.

Walking and walking, there were no more figures of disciples from other sects around.

Within a one-kilometer radius of this location, only the Shuang Han Palace contingent remains.

"Master, we came all this way early in the morning just to climb this mountain There's nothing in this valley."

"Onward," Willow lamented as she marched.

Su Lengyun frowned slightly and said, "We are still on the outskirts of Zhuixian Valley. We need to walk for at least another hour before we truly enter it."

"Another hour to go!" Liu Liansha sighed.

Su Lengyun scanned the disciples behind her and said, "Everyone, follow the team and don't fall behind."

Fang Yu walked forward silently, his eyes lost in thought.

Since entering the Falling Immortals Valley, he always felt a faint trace of formation power.

Fang Yu was certain; this wasn't an illusion.

The power of the array is so subtle, either because the array is about to fail, or someone deliberately concealed the power of the prohibition.

Fang Yu is more inclined towards the former.

It's perfectly normal for a sect's sacred site, which is only open once every twenty years, to have some formations and restrictions set up.

The troops of Frost Cold Palace were still moving forward, surrounded by mountains on both sides, with some scattered green grass growing on their slopes.

"Ah!"

Just then, a female disciple let out a scream.

"What's wrong"

Everyone looked at the female disciple.

"Just now, a snake slithered past over there…" The female disciple said, her face pale.

"It's just a snake... why are you making such a fuss" Liu Liansha gave her a white look and said.

The female disciple also felt that her reaction was too much, she blushed and lowered her head.

"Keep moving forward," Su Lengyun said.

After walking down a narrow mountain path, there is a more open grove of trees ahead.

There are clear footprints on the ground, obviously someone walked here before.

The forest was very quiet.

The midday sun shines down, filtering through the leaves and onto the ground.

The scenery looks quite beautiful.

"Master, there's still nothing around here, it's just an ordinary forest." Liu Liansha said.

Su Lengyun also felt a little strange.

They have been gone for almost an hour and a half, but the surroundings are still peaceful.

What's even stranger is that they never encountered anyone from other sects again.

Logically speaking, with over three hundred people and more than twenty sects entering the Falling Immortal Valley, it should be easy for both sides to encounter each other.

"Haven't you been here before Why do you look so confused" Fang Yu looked at Su Lengyun and asked.

"The last time I walked, it wasn't this way," Su Lengyun replied softly.

"Oh, then let's just keep moving forward. We're bound to run into something," Fang Yu said.

The team walked for another ten minutes, but they were still not out of the forest.

At the front of the procession, Su Lengyun suddenly changed her expression, raised her hand, and motioned for the disciples behind her to stop.

"Master, what's wrong" Liu Liansha walked forward and asked.

At that moment, she casually glanced forward, her face paling.

I only saw several dozen people in white robes lying under a large tree ahead.

These people lie flat, motionless, their postures appearing serene.

But their faces were terrifyingly grim!

His eyes were wide open, bulging out of his head. His mouth was agape, twisted in a grimace of immense pain.

But there were no obvious wounds on their faces or bodies.

More bizarrely, each of them had skin that was unnaturally pale!

"These, these people..." Liu Liansha's heart turned cold, her body trembling.

"They're all dead." Su Lengyun said, her voice also tinged with shock.

She never expected that such an event would occur in a forest that seemed so peaceful and serene!

The entire sect's training team, all perished!

"Judging from their attire, they must be from the Xuanyue Sect," Su Lengyun murmured to herself.

At this time, the female disciples of the Shuang Han Palace also saw the dozen or so corpses ahead, all of them frightened white as sheets.

At this point, Fang Yu had already stepped forward.

He crouched down and examined one of the corpses.

This person is truly dead, completely cold.

His eyes were wide open, his expression fearful, but his gaze was empty.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, observing his pale skin.

Was the blood drained

Fang Yu frowned, looking at another corpse. It was the same situation.

Moreover, Fang Yu also noticed that the clothes these people were wearing were all complete, and there were no traces of fighting on the surrounding trees or ground.

That means these people were ambushed and killed instantly, with no chance to fight back.

Based on where they were lying, it's highly possible that so many people died simultaneously!

How was it done

Fang Yu was deeply puzzled.

Because there were no visible wounds on these people, and there was no blood under them.

How can one kill dozens of people in a very short time and drain their blood

"Feather Brother, how... did these people die" Su Lengyun walked forward and asked.

Fang Yu stood up, shook his head, and said, "Something's a bit strange."riginal face was handsome, but at this moment, he could no longer see his former appearance.Scales covering its entire face, thick bones, and a pair of jet-black eyes that showed no emotion whatsoever...
