After Chao Xuesong settled Hou Chuchu, as Ye Si guessed, he took the flying boat of the Tiangongfang out of the city.

After seeing the Crimson Sword, he knew that Chao Buzhi must be in that place. Because only he knows Chao Buzhi's love for this sword, it has really reached the level that the sword is in the person and the sword is dead. Such an important flying sword, if it is not in distress, it will never be handed over to others at will.

He's smart, but not smart enough. He knew that Zhu Yaorong had other intentions, otherwise he should have told himself half a month ago. He didn't know that he had been chosen by Fan Tailing as a "substitute for the dead", but even if he knew, he would choose to accept it, and even be grateful to Fan Tailing for taking advantage of him.

In his heart, the people of the Taihang Sword Sect were his last relatives in this world, and he knew that they were suffering, but he still had to sit and wait, he couldn't do it. Like he said, every moment is an ordeal.

He is not smart enough because he does not understand that blood alone cannot save people, and it is often counterproductive. Because he naturally dislikes the character of causing trouble to others, he did not rely on the person he should rely on the most, and chose to go it alone.

The place he was going to was the Valley of the Absolute Dragon.

......

It took two hours for Chao Xuesong to press down the flying sword a hundred miles away from the Absolute Dragon Valley, and there was an unusual cold wind in his face, which made him involuntarily wrap his clothes.

This cold is not only the coldness of the body, but also penetrates into the bone marrow.

Hundreds of miles ahead, there are only craggy mountains and rocks with fangs, clumps of rotten wood and dead branches dancing with claws, and the vast darkness where you can't see the light and the road ahead. The deep silence is like a ghost gate leading to the Yellow Spring, and the rocks and dead branches are like demons and monsters sinking into the sea of suffering, silently twisting and wailing.

Although he had already made up his mind, Chao Xuesong was still shocked by the sight on the spot.

This is a place that no one can set foot on at all.

He raised his right hand and gently grasped the crimson behind his back, as if there was a heart-wrenching pain on the sword, but at this time, the more heart-wrenching the pain, the more strength it could bring him.

"Compared to the pain that Uncle and they have suffered, what is this horror? Chao Xuesong, you will definitely do it!"

He didn't dare to shout loudly, and after quietly cheering himself up, it really had some effect and took the first step forward.

The footsteps paused and he took a deep breath, the depth of tension that made him almost forget the smoky sword intent.

The slight smoke sword intent made his body hazy and melt into the night like a fog, which restored some of his confidence.

......

Half an hour later, he avoided twelve waves of patrolling ghost soldiers and sneaked to the edge of the cliff in the Absolute Dragon Valley.

This place is already the core of the stronghold of Scorched Hell, and further on, you can enter the valley.

Chao Xuesong suppressed his excitement and lurked in a pit at the bottom of a mountain col, waiting silently in his own way.

At this time, although he was excited, he regained some composure because he was in danger of being broken into thousands of pieces at any time.

After another half an hour of waiting, he discovered the pattern of patrolling ghost soldiers, and a group of ghost soldiers would pass by in about half a cup of tea, and strange birds were hovering over Taniguchi all the time, and the guards were extremely tight.

Half a cup of tea was enough for him to dive to the bottom, but the strange bird was a big problem.

He thought for a moment and took out a wooden puppet from the storage bag.

The role of the wooden puppet is to determine the cultivation behavior, which is produced by the Heavenly Workshop, and it is a very popular thing among the scattered cultivation groups.

The reason why Chao Xuesong brought it was not to measure cultivation, the wooden puppet can withstand blows, can deceive the ignorant ghost soldiers, reduce the pressure of the garrison, and is currently widely used on the front line.

He took out another set of clothes and carefully put them on the wooden man, making it look more human.

Then, he took out another talisman and put it on the back of the wooden man's head. This spirit rune is called the spirit control rune, which is a commonly used talisman seal for loose cultivation, which can be used to control spiritual objects without the breath of life, and barely achieve the role of "controlling things".

He didn't drive immediately, but waited for the right time, and cautiously dived to the bottom of a mountain col dozens of kilometers away.

After waiting for a while, a group of ghost soldiers came out of the barren jungle and went straight to the Absolute Dragon Valley.

Chao Xuesong observed the strange birds within a radius of several miles, took a deep breath, and after the ghost soldiers turned around and walked back to the jungle, they immediately rushed out of the mountain col.

A dozen or so strange birds were immediately attracted to attention, and they let out a terrible cry, and swooped down, tearing the wooden man to pieces in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, Chao Xuesong had already sneaked out of the col and jumped directly from the cliffside.

The cold breath on his face made him breathe sluggishly, and when he thought of Chao Buzhi and the others being trapped in such an uncomfortable place, his heart swelled with sadness.

Approaching the bottom, he cast a cloud puff spell and landed safely.

Putting away his sadness, Chao Xuesong realized that the surroundings had been shrouded in an extremely thick layer of mist. Between the mouth and nose and breathing, it is full of piercing cold, which soaks into the lungs and goes straight to the bone marrow.

Only then did he believe what Zhu Yaorong said, and hurriedly turned to his inner breath, making the aura to protect his body.

After settling down, he took a few steps back, feeling leaning against the stone wall, and then cautiously leaned out his spiritual sense.

The visual distance around is only a few zhang, the air is a little humid, but the ground is not soft, but unusually hard, and the white stone pillars of human height, pointed cones, stand irregularly, and the limit of the spiritual sense can probe is such a scene.

Relying on the stone wall to hide half a pillar of incense, there is still no sign of ghost patrols.

Chao Xuesong could no longer hold back his anxious heart and began to explore forward.

After walking for several miles, he still did not notice the signs of the ghost soldiers, and then he was relieved, and his speed became faster and faster.

But there was no sign of anyone being explored, and although he had turned to the inner breath and had the spiritual light to protect his body, the erosion of the yin mist was getting worse and worse. Chao Xuesong is extremely resilient, enduring discomfort, and expanding the search range.

The hard work paid off, and finally an hour later, I found a clue.

It was found under a stone pillar, a palm-sized fragment of clothing, stained with blood.

Chao Xuesong's heart suddenly became heavy, and he took a few steps forward, and in front of him he saw a stone pillar standing, different from before, it was not empty, but a person was tied with iron chains.

The man looked like he had been tied up for a long time, his clothes were torn to pieces, and his cloak looked like a death row inmate.

Chao Xuesong walked up to the man with heavy steps, and was greeted by a tortured and haggard face. The man's body was covered in blood, and judging from the torn and bare flesh of his clothes, he had suffered many inhuman tortures, and some of the wounds had festered, and pus and blood were dripping down the mixture.

Tears fell in an instant, and Chao Xuesong trembled and knelt down, like a heart-rending vomit from his throat: "Uncle!"

The experiences of the past few years have flashed through my mind like a passing eye. The confusion of entering Rixi City for the first time, the heartbeat of meeting Hou Chuchu for the first time, the excitement of being taught by Hou Yuzun, the joy of apprenticeship to the old man of Weiyan, and the gratitude of the Demon Emperor......

One by one, they all cut his heart like a sharp blade.

"How can it be...... I'm the only one who is happy......"
