Jiang Deng originally thought that it would be good if Nangong Xiangrui could lend her the Spirit Summoning Pearl. Unexpectedly, in order to thank her, Nangong Xiangrui also gave Jiang Deng the remaining quota of the Nangong family to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference.
But Jiang Deng already had a quota, and it was useless to ask for another one, so he asked Chi Lian if he wanted to go to the Sword Discussion Conference together so that they could learn more.
Chi Lian thought for a while and said: "To be honest, I was originally a monk. But my Dantian was destroyed and I can no longer practice. Fortunately, the effect of the original physical tempering is still there, and I can only transfer my body.
Practice one way."
"Now that I have no spiritual energy, I can no longer use my spiritual energy to control the sword. Going to the Sword Discussion Conference will only bring humiliation to myself. You should give this precious place to others. Giving it to me is a complete waste."
Jiang Deng's expression condensed, and his Dantian was destroyed?
How come it's such a coincidence?
"Ahem," Jiang Deng coughed lightly, "Actually... I also have a secret to tell you. I was born with a useless Dantian, and everyone considers me a loser."
Chi Lian had a look on his face that said, "Are you kidding me?" "Impossible! How can I still practice with my depleted Dantian?"
Jiang Deng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who said you can't practice if you lose your Dantian?"
Then, Jiang Deng told Chi Lian how to draw a spirit-locking array in his dantian and trap the spiritual power. After Chi Lian was stunned, he laughed out loud.
"That's it! There is such a solution, Jiang Deng, who said you are useless? You are simply a genius, okay!"
Next, with the help of Jiang Deng, Chi Lian finally carved the spirit locking array into his Dantian. After waiting for many years, he finally saw the hope of regaining his strength. Chi Lian's cultivation was a hard work, and it can be said that it was sleepless.
The two of them rested in Nangong Mansion for a few days and planned to set off with Nangong Xiangrui and the others. In this way, there would be locals to lead the way and they would not have to worry about getting lost.
"Sect Master Jiang..."
That evening, the maid's voice sounded outside the door, "The eldest lady asked me to invite you over to discuss our departure."
"good."
Jiang Deng responded, greeted Chi Lian, and headed to the living room together.
Now that the living room has been repaired, there is no trace of the mess and mess that it was when the Pei family visited.
As the next head of the family, Nangong Xiangrui was sitting on the main seat, with her brother Nangong Yanming standing next to her. When she saw Jiang Deng appear, she couldn't help but glare at Jiang Deng angrily.
Because he yelled outside the Treasure Pavilion and disturbed Jiang Deng's repair of the Red Plum Sword, he had been repaired miserably by his mother and elder sister who had always loved him in the past few days.
Only Di Tong and Jiang Deng were present at that time, so it was definitely not the complaint filed by Sister Tong who loved him, so there was only one answer, and that was the complaint filed by Jiang Deng!
He has already written this revenge in his heart in a small notebook!
"Sect Master Jiang, please sit down."
Nangong Xiangrui raised his hand and greeted.
Jiang Deng was not polite and sat down directly with Chi Lian.
"Didn't you say we were going to leave? When?"
Nangong Xiangrui chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, Sect Leader Jiang, I came to you just to discuss the departure."
"I just received news from my servants, saying that there are clues to the recent disappearances in the city, and the real culprit is the evil cultivator in the Black Valley."
Hearing this, Jiang Deng felt curious, "Evil cultivator?"
"Yes," Nangong Xiangrui nodded, "The people in the Black Valley claim to be orthodox evil cultivators, followers of the Lighting Sect. This Lighting Sect used to only cause trouble in the Qiming Spiritual Realm, but for some reason, it has opened a branch in the Ten Thousand Swords Spiritual Realm in recent years.
"
"The evil cultivators of the sect are going around kidnapping mortals to practice evil arts, which has aroused a lot of public outrage. Kaitianmen has discussed with our four major families to completely wipe out the Lamplighting sect, but this Lamplighting sect is really cunning and cunning, and we have been unable to figure it out.
Accurate their exact location."
"Some time ago, I found that mortals often disappeared in the city, so I sent people to pretend to be mortals and pretended to be kidnapped. Now I finally got the exact information. Their hiding place is in the Black Valley not far from Nangong City!"
"On the way to Kaitianmen, we happened to be on the way to the Black Valley. I plan to take people there and wipe out this evil cultivator sect along the way."
Speaking of this, Nangong Xiangrui looked at Jiang Deng and asked for his opinion: "It may take a day or two on the road. I wonder if Sect Leader Jiang is willing to go with him? If not, I will give you a map to Kaitianmen and
How about sending someone to escort you to Kaitianmen?"
Jiang Deng waved his hand, "No need to go to so much trouble. I'm not in a hurry to open the Tianmen. I'll just go with you."
The reason why she agreed was not out of kindness.
But...the name of this evil sect aroused Jiang Deng's curiosity.
Lamp lighting party?
It doesn't sound like the name of an evil sect, and more importantly, it also contains a word from her name!
The Lamplighting Sect had been causing trouble in the Qiming Spiritual Realm before. In her previous life, she had also been living in the Qiming Spiritual Realm...
Is it possible that this lamp-lighting sect really has something to do with her?
After being filled with doubts, Jiang Deng was eager to enter the Black Valley to find out.
"Okay, then we'll set off early tomorrow morning!"
Nangong Xiangrui said with great interest.
With Sect Master Jiang taking action, this evil cultivator sect will be wiped out with ease when the time comes!
——
The next morning.
After Jiang Deng and Chi Lian got up, they came to the door to meet Nangong Xiangrui.
They saw that Nangong Xiangrui had been waiting with people for a long time, including not only her brother Nangong Yanming, but also the housekeeper from the early stage of the Transformation of God Realm, and several Nascent Soul Realm guards who had gathered together.
"Set off!"
Following Nangong Xiangrui's order, everyone left Nangong City and headed for the Black Valley.
Except for Chi Lian and Nangong Yanming, all the people present were at the Nascent Soul realm or above, and could easily walk through the air.
Nangong Yanming is now a monk in the Dan Formation Realm and can still wield a sword and drive on the road.
The same cannot be said for Chi Lian. Although she has been practicing very hard these days, she still has not reached the foundation-building realm, so she cannot control the sword.
Jiang Deng took out her spirit snake ship from the Eight Gate World, carried Chi Lian, and followed the team leisurely.
After marching for most of the day, until the sun set and the sky became dark, everyone arrived at the Black Valley.
Quack quack——
The hoarse cries of crows echoed throughout the valley.
Looking around, there is no grass growing in the black valley, and there is a mass of blackness everywhere, as if it had been burned by fire.
Everyone's hearts couldn't help but lift up.
As soon as I landed, a strong fishy smell hit my face...
"Let's go over and have a look."
As soon as Nangong Xiangrui raised his hand, everyone immediately followed the smell, and Jiang Deng naturally followed.
Not long after, they arrived at the source of the stench.
A huge pit comes into view!
It was full of human corpses, and so many corpses almost filled the pit!
Some of them have even rotted into white bones, and the ones that have not yet rotted have hideous and distorted faces. It is obvious that they were brutally abused when they died.
Not only that, there were swarms of crows squatting above the pit, greedily eating carrion...
