Shi Yan noticed when Feng Ming and the others moved here, but he only glanced out of the corner of his eyes and found that one of the people looked like his grandson. It must be him.
Seeing that his grandson concealed his true face, Shi Yan couldn’t help thinking more. Could it be that what happened to his grandson wasn’t an accident, but someone framed him?
That was why his grandson didn’t dare to show his true face. He was worried that the person behind the scenes would continue to attack after knowing he was alive?
Thinking about it this way, Shi Yan had more opinions about the Cheng family.
It wasn’t too late to blame them later. It was better to find his grandson first. Otherwise, he would’ve lost his temper long ago with the way that the Cheng family was acting.
His grandson was trapped in the Nandou Mountains. After receiving the letter, the Cheng family didn’t immediately report it to the Golden Eagle mercenary group to look in the mountains for the person together. Instead, they wanted to look for him first.
How could Shi Yan not understand what they intended? They were worried that if he knew about it, the entire Cheng family would be blamed.
But they didn’t think about how dangerous the Nandou Mountains were. Even if their grandson had some fighting ability, he still couldn’t fight.
Just thinking about it made Shi Yan furious. He left his good grandson to the Cheng family. Was this how the Cheng family took care of people?
He was eager to know whether there was a conspiracy behind his grandson’s accident or not, but Shi Yan finally sighed with relief when he saw that his grandson was safe. He decided to comply with his grandson’s wishes and fight for the opportunity. The stronger he was, the more secure his grandson’s status was.
He made a decision in his heart. Then Mr Shi, who was an upright man, started acting and cursed. “Which bast*rd sent a message to my Golden Eagle mercenary group randomly and said he saw traces of my grandson here? Don’t let me find him, or I will have to beat him to death. Fellow Daoist Huang, I will continue looking for my grandson. I won’t disturb you. Let’s go.”
Shi Yan called out to the people from the Golden Eagle mercenary group who came with him and left the area.
The moment he left, the cultivator next to Cultivator Zhong, who had reported the news before, fell to the ground with sweat on his forehead.
Cultivator Zhong kicked him. “What are you afraid of? You are scaring yourself like this. Do you really think that Mr Shi is going to do something to you?”
The cultivator said with a guilty conscience, “Isn’t it just that I am afraid? Did Young Master Cheng really contact the old man?”
“Of course, he did. The old man left on purpose.”
Cheng Miao was surprised to find that his body wasn’t weak after swallowing two pills.
Thinking back on it, the two pills just now contained a very rich and pure vital energy. It was better than any pill he had ever taken before? What type of pill was it? What was the grade?
Cheng Miao didn’t try to get to the bottom of it, but he realized that the Qiao brothers who rescued him were extraordinary people.
Of course, they couldn’t be ordinary people. Could ordinary people kill the wild beasts driven crazy by the beast-inducing powder in one go?
Cheng Miao felt relieved when he saw his grandfather leaving. He returned the Green Yuan Bead to Feng Ming and told Cultivator Zhong and the others, “I have contacted my grandfather. Thank you very much. My grandfather won’t blame you. Just now, it was deliberately said to the people in the valley.”
The cultivator nodded repeatedly. “I know, I know. However, the old man is too powerful. I admire him.”
Cheng Miao became happy.
Far away from the valley, Shi Yan’s subordinate asked, “Is that message really false? Someone dared to lie to our Golden Eagle?”
Shi Yan scolded him. “Why lie? What does our Golden Eagle have to lie to us? Don’t be like the big families and forget our origin. Okay, I already know where Miao’er is. The next step is to snatch the seven-leaf insect flower plant in the valley. The more those guys don’t want me involved, the more I want to rob them. Don’t think I don’t know what their intentions are. They are afraid because I am stronger than them and they might not be able to suppress me and the Golden Eagle mercenary group.”
His subordinates were overjoyed. “Boss, have you really found the young master? Was it just now? Why didn’t I see him?”
Shi Yan said proudly, “If you can all see him, how can others not discover it? My grandson is very smart.”
“That’s great. Boss, how do we act? Rush over and grab the valley now?”
“Don’t be impatient. The boss must have a plan. What is the point of rushing over and grabbing it like this? Won’t it make the other parties unite against us? We have to use strategy.”
Shi Yan felt somewhat comforted as he listened to the chatter and discussion among his people. Fortunately, not all his subordinates were rough men. Otherwise, according to those methods, the Golden Eagle mercenary group and Shi Yan would have many enemies.
After discussing it, they decided to stay away from this area and head to other areas of the Nandou Mountains to continue searching for traces of the young master.
Shi Yan, who was the most critical figure, naturally flew away in mid-air in a high-profile manner.
Before flying away, he deliberately glanced in a few directions below, revealed a meaningful look, and moved away.
In fact, after he left, he secretly came back again. Shi Yan sneaked back from the ground in a low-key manner, avoiding several places where there were cultivators hiding that he had discovered before in the air.
In addition to the four directions on the surface, there were many people lurking around the valley. It was conceivable that they were waiting for the moment when the seven-leaf insect flower plant matured.
Now Shi Yan was here and was also waiting for that moment. It wasn’t too late to take action when the situation was most chaotic.
His subordinates were also preparing at this time. They would definitely help their captain become more powerful. By then, the status of the Golden Eagle mercenary group would improve again.
Feng Ming and the others continued to wait patiently. During this period, except for Mr Shi’s group, no other cultivators came and withdrew. Therefore, more and more cultivators gathered outside the valley and stared at the entrance.
There were still people wanting to rush over, but they were a bit far away, and it was too late. Therefore, they could only stay where they were and wait.
For example, the Feng siblings and Wu Yingyan realized that the Netherworld Valley wasn’t something they could enter just because they wanted to.
They were also very happy when they learned there was a strange plant that could restrain the poisonous gas in the Netherworld Valley. Then the news they received later made them no longer happy.
First, they discovered that the location of the strange plant was a bit far away from them. Secondly, once the major forces got the news, the people sent to participate were all essence dan realm experts. Those who were in the qi gathering realm would only be cannon fodder if they rushed over.
Therefore, they had to stay where they were and wait for the outcome of the fight over there.
Wu Yingyan seized this opportunity to express his goodwill to Feng Linlang. “Don’t worry, I have inquired about it. There is more than one seven-leaf insect flower plant. No matter which party gets the strange plant, I will find a way to make them agree to us entering Netherworld Valley with them. I think they will give my Wu family some face.”
Feng Linlang actually didn’t want to have anything to do with Wu Yingyan, but Wu Yingyan’s words moved her again. She knew that with her strength and the Feng family’s power, other people might not give her face. Meanwhile, the Wu family was different.
The cold look on her face softened slightly and she said, “We will see when the time comes.”
Wu Yingyan knew that Feng Linlang’s attitude had softened and he was overjoyed. He wanted to get this thing done even more, so that Feng Linlang was satisfied.
He also got news from Sihong Academy. The two arrogant guys actually ran out of the academy. Wu Yingyan wondered if they got the news about this place, so they came to join in the fun.
It was better to come here and solve things together, so that they didn’t return to Sihong Academy to continue to irritate him and make Feng Linlang unhappy.
Therefore, Wu Yingyan had already sent out his manpower to pay attention to suspicious cultivators who appeared here recently. Once he had a target, he would attack immediately without leaving any room.
There was nothing he could do inside the academy, but outside the academy, even the fifth-grade alchemist surnamed Yu couldn’t control him.
Outside the valley, the black crystal turtle who was fed the beast core was able to hold back at first. He obediently held the beast core and ate it.
Then after some time, the black crystal turtle didn’t want to chew the beast core and became a bit anxious. He bothered Feng Ming and asked Feng Ming to help him find food.
Seeing his appearance, Feng Ming became more certain. He secretly said to Bai Qiaomo, “What Xiao Jing wants to eat must be the seven-leaf insect flower plant. It seems that this plant is about to mature.”
Bai Qiaomo also felt that this was the case and felt that it was a strange thing. “It seems so. Let’s see if Xiao Jing can determine the specific location of a few plants, set the location first, and wait until chaos breaks out before taking action.”
Feng Ming also meant the same. Thus, he had the patience to communicate with the black crystal turtle.
It took some time, but Feng Ming finally got the answer. Sure enough, there was a seven-leaf insect flower plant wandering outside.
The black crystal turtle wanted the ones in the valley more because those plants grew together and had a stronger smell, making them more attractive to him.
Then under Feng Ming’s persuasion, the black crystal turtle finally agreed to find the lone one.
It could be identified by smell. The lone one was hiding in the deepest part of the valley. Feng Ming’s eyes were extremely bright when he heard this. He already considered it as one of his belongings.
“It’s coming. The vital energy has become stronger.”
This was what happened when the strange plant ripened. It extracted the vital energy outside the valley for its own use, so the vital energy outside was gathered.
The cultivators present all noticed this change as long as they could sense vital energy. Therefore, the discussion became quieter and they all stared in the direction of the valley with bright eyes.
The cultivators guarding the entrance and exit paths of the valley and within the valley were on guard to prevent other cultivators from snatching the plants.
The cultivators guarding the passage expelled the approaching cultivators in a harsher tone and told them to stay away.
At this moment, a cultivator suddenly appeared in the air and slapped downwards. “Boy, your tone is too crazy. You are just bullying dogs, and you actually regard yourself as dog owners.”
This slap was very good. It was very strong and the huge palm pressed down from the top. The previously arrogant cultivators below immediately wanted to run away in horror while cursing back.
However, he could only let out a scream in the end. The cultivator above him beat him to pieces.
The cultivator lucky enough to be out of the attack range of the palm fled towards the valley with all his strength, shouting at the same time, “Someone is attacking, someone is attacking!”
The essence dan realm powerhouse didn’t let anyone go. He moved through the air and attacked with his palm again.
After slapping all the people to death, those inside the valley finally reacted. Huang Shen was once again the first to fly out, and he was shocked when he saw the visitor. “Fellow Daoist Peng, which gust of wind blew you here? Why bother to be like this with a few juniors and dirty your hands?”
Of course, he was annoyed in his heart. Killing a few juniors was like slapping him in the face.
