Xuanming Valley is known as one of the four most dangerous places for heavenly spirits. Millions of years ago, hundreds of powerful evil cultivators were suppressed here, and the weakest among them were in the realm of robbed spirits.
Now that four million years have passed, the evil cultivators that were suppressed have long since turned into dust, but this dark, deep and wide valley has remained forever.
Deep in the Xuanming Valley, there are several buildings made of rocks. These are the current forces in the Xuanming Valley.
Today's Xuanming Valley is not as good as before. Although the evil cultivators here are much stronger than those in the Sifang Cities, they are not worthy of the Tianling Alliance's attention.
Since the establishment of Xuanming Valley and Sifang City, evil cultivators in the world have been firmly trapped in this area like prisoners who have been given a certain degree of freedom.
Because of their skills, it is easier for evil cultivators to become stronger than normal cultivators, but the prerequisite is that there must be enough living creatures' blood for them to absorb.
Xuanming Valley does not have such conditions, so these evil cultivators can only absorb the evil energy in the valley to strengthen themselves. However, as time goes by, the evil energy in the valley gradually fades away, and the overall strength of the evil cultivators here becomes weaker and weaker.
Today, there are only five forces in Xuanming Valley, namely the Dark Fire Sect, the Heavenly Blood Sect, the Black Puppet Sect, the Dark Sect, and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.
Except for the top leaders of the Tianling Alliance and a few spiritual beings in the four cities, there are very few people in the world who know about these five evil sects.
At this time, in the church of the Hellfire Sect, a figure was at the top of the seat, with four people below sitting on both sides.
Yu Ze was sitting back on the chair, the sleeve of his right arm was empty, his face was slightly pale, and he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
Others looked at him with different emotions in their eyes.
The man sitting in the first seat is named Mingyang. He is the leader of the Minghuo Sect and the only powerful person in the Luck Spirit Realm among today's evil cultivators. He is the true overlord in the entire Xuanming Valley.
Mingyang looked at Yu Ze who had his eyes closed tightly and seemed to be giving up on himself, and asked: "How is your injury?"
Yu Ze didn't open his eyes and said calmly: "I can't die."
More than a hundred years ago, his arm was broken by Kang Chenglie, the governor of Tianling Gui. His cultivation level was greatly reduced. It took him decades to recover. However, he did not expect that it would be difficult to cultivate back to the peak of the robbery spirit. After only a few decades,
Then he met Ye Chunyan again, and his arm was cut off again.
The continuous blows made him so disheartened that he no longer even had the thought of revenge.
Hei Liuhong, the leader of the Black Puppet Sect, said angrily: "This damn Tianling Alliance is simply bullying people too much. They clearly broke into our Xuanming Valley themselves, but they dare to attack like this!"
Now that the cult is weak, the five major sects have formed an alliance under the leadership of Mingyang, and the relationship between them is not bad at all.
"So what? What can you do to Ye Chunyan? Let alone you, even the leader of the Underworld is no match for Ye Chunyan."
A hoarse voice came, and Gu Hongdao, the leader of the Dark Sect, raised his head.
"That's still much better than you!"
The owner of the Wandu Sect, Qian Danqiong, is the only woman among the five. She has a charming appearance, but her eyes are extremely dark. She stared at Gu Hongdao and defended Mingyang.
"Okay."
Mingyang's faint words made everyone raise their heads. He crossed his legs and looked particularly calm: "It's just a broken arm. You have many disciples, and there will always be someone with an arm that suits you."
Yu Ze waved his hand: "No, what if it's repaired? Will it be taken off by the Tianling Alliance again?"
Hearing his words, the others wanted to be angry, but when the words came to their lips, they couldn't say them out.
Indeed, what can they do if they take them back? They will just continue to live a boring life here. As long as the Tianling Alliance is here, they will not be able to leave this valley at all.
Mingyang asked quietly: "Don't you want revenge?"
"Revenge?" Yu Ze laughed sarcastically, "I didn't expect that the Underworld Cult Master also has such a humorous side."
Mingyang lowered his head, opened his palms, and a dark blue flame rose from his palms. The moment the flames rose, the temperature of the entire hall dropped a lot.
His eyes were lowered, and his voice was also lowered: "Have you ever thought that we were all at the peak of the Spirit Tribulation back then, so why were you still unable to break through to the Luck Spirit, but I was the only one who succeeded?"
A simple question made the four people in Yuze stare sharply. They looked at Mingyang sharply, as if they had realized something.
Hei Liuhong patted his chair and stood up, frowning with broad eyebrows and asked: "Master Ming, do you have any special method to help us break through?"
Mingyang chuckled: "Of course I didn't."
The little hope the four of them had just aroused suddenly dissipated.
Mingyang looked at the changes in their expressions and smiled lightly: "However, just because I don't have it, it doesn't mean that others don't have it. Top Ten, you can come out now."
Thick black fog slowly emerged from the top of the hall, flowing down like a waterfall. A pitch-black figure gradually emerged in this black curtain. He was wearing a mask, and his whole body was hidden under a black robe, making it invisible.
Clean appearance.
The darkness dissipated, and finally only this figure remained.
Yu Ze and the others subconsciously used their spiritual senses to detect this person, but found that they could not detect his state at all. Even if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have noticed that there was a person here.
"This person..."
The four of them were horrified and looked at the man in black robes with great vigilance.
Mingyang stood up and said: "Let me introduce to you, this gentleman's name is Shi Yuan. He is a genuine, powerful person in the spirit-slaying realm."
"A strong man in the spirit-killing realm?!"
The four people stood up from their chairs and looked at the black-robed man named Shi Yuan in great shock.
The black mist disappeared from Shi Yuan's body, and under the mask there was only a pair of eyes as dark as the abyss, staring at the crowd. The four of them didn't know what kind of eyes they looked like, but when they were stared at by such eyes, they felt the hair on their backs rising.
There is no doubt that as long as the other party has murderous intentions, they will have no chance of survival.
Mingyang said indifferently: "The top ten people don't like to talk. The reason why I was able to successfully break through to the Luck Spirit Realm before was because the top ten people gave me a robbery pill."
Mingyang slowly opened his palm, and four golden lights appeared on his palm.
"You are very lucky. This time, I brought four more."

The four calamity pills were floating quietly in the palm of Mingyang's hand. The delicious pill fragrance and strange energy emitted almost made Yu Ze and the others unable to control themselves and wanted to snatch them.
Fortunately, they still had some sense left. Yu Ze had just experienced a big downturn, but he was the first to calm down at this moment. He asked: "What's the price?"
There is no free lunch in this world. The Tribulation Spirit Pill is one of the most precious pills in the world. Even the Weiyang Hall of the Tianling Alliance can hardly come up with four Tribulation Spirit Pills at once.
Mingyang glanced at Shiyuan, who nodded.
He then said: "The price is very simple, capture alive a member of the Tianling Alliance - Yun Xi!"
……
……
"The food is served, the food is served!"
A crisp and sweet sound rang out in the small courtyard. Yun Xi and the other three walked into the living room carrying porcelain plates. The dishes on the plates emitted steaming steam, and the aroma of the dishes was fragrant.
Lin Jiayi kept watching Yun Xi finish cooking, smelling the aroma of the dishes, her eyes bright.
"Sister Yun, have you ever been a cook? How do you make it so delicious?"
Yun Xi put down the dish and said proudly: "I have only used less than 50% of my skills, so what I did is just okay."
Her spiritual veins were sealed, and without the ability to use her spiritual power and spiritual consciousness, her perception and coordination abilities were much weaker, and her control over firepower was not as good as before. Therefore, the dishes she cooked this time were actually not as delicious as before.
of.
Fortunately, the foundation is still there, and the result is pretty decent.
"Then Sister Yun was really a chef before? No wonder she said she wanted to find a job in this field."
Lin Jiayi's mouth almost watered when she looked at the delicious food.
Yun Xi smiled: "I'll make some more soup, and you can serve it to your mother later."
"Hmm!"
Lin Jiayi smiled happily.
……
It was supposed to be a simple dinner, but because their mother's condition improved and because this was their first time living an ordinary life, both Lin Jiayi and Yun Xi and Li Zixiao ate with gusto.
Li Zixiao held her chopsticks in her mouth and looked thoughtful. Indeed, as Yun Xi said, this dish is not as delicious as the one she made before, but it is still very good.
Involuntarily, Li Zixiao suddenly thought, if he is no longer a spiritual cultivator, what can he do in the future?
She doesn't seem to have any special skills.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yun Xi put a piece of green vegetables into Li Zixiao's bowl, and then accidentally took away a piece of meat.
Li Zixiao saw her actions and was not angry at all. He just shook his head, feeling a little glad that he could cultivate his spirit.
After dinner, Lin Jiayi forcefully took over the job of washing dishes. Yunxi couldn't resist, so she went to prepare the ingredients for the stall tomorrow.
"I wash the vegetables."
Li Zixiao stopped Yun Xi from washing the vegetables. When Yun Xi made soup for Yuan Ling just now, she poured some blood into it. The wounds that had healed appeared again. She was not suitable to touch the water until the wounds were healed.<
/p>
When Yun Xi heard this, she couldn't help but smile.
"Then I'll be responsible for making the skewers."
The two of them sat under the eaves, with snowflakes falling in front of them.
Yun Xi looked up and saw that the surrounding roof eaves were already covered with snow: "The snow is getting heavier. I don't know if I can go out tomorrow morning."
Li Zixiao also looked up and commented: "It's difficult."
Yun Xi curled her lips and glanced at the kitchen to make sure that Lin Jiayi was not paying attention, and then asked: "Do you think everyone would be disappointed if they knew that we were actually doing this kind of work?"
One is the majestic Tianling school beauty, and the other also has countless admirers. They are both spirits, but what are they doing now?
One washes vegetables, the other makes skewers, and will go out to set up a stall tomorrow.
The impression given before and after is not ordinary.
Yun Xi adapted very easily, but it was a little difficult for Li Zixiao. Fortunately, with Yun Xi by her side, she felt that she could accept it.
Only then did she understand: "This test is more difficult."
Compared with the first round of assessment, this round is actually the most difficult. As a spirit person, it is not difficult to kill people. What is difficult is to let go of the identity and dignity of a spirit person.
Seeing that she had figured it out, Yun Xi didn't say anything more, and just said: "Tomorrow morning we will go out for a work meeting, and in the afternoon we will go shopping. Now that we are here, we must learn to enjoy life."
Li Zixiao nodded, Yun Xi could always find some absurdity anyway.
After they talked for a while, Lin Jiayi also finished washing the dishes and ran over to help prepare tomorrow's ingredients.
While busy, Yun Xi asked: "Jiayi, you should still be a student now, right?"
When she heard the word student, Lin Jiayi's eyes suddenly darkened, and she said: "Ang... I was before, but now I have dropped out of school."
Yun Xi was confused: "Because of your mother?"
Lin Jiayi shook her head: "The tuition is too expensive, and my family can't afford it."
Yun Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and found a clue: "Are you a warrior?"
Yun Xi had some guesses before. This little girl looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she could catch up with the two of them on the street. Her arm strength was also extraordinary when she was buying bedding.
Lin Jiayi didn't expect to be seen through so quickly, and her expression was a little embarrassed: "I was lucky enough to awaken my spiritual veins when I was twelve years old. My talent is not good, and my level is very low."
Yun Xi glanced at Li Zixiao, who said: "In the martial arts school stage, there are subsidies."
Not all spiritual cultivators in this world can afford martial arts school tuition. Therefore, according to the rules of the Tianling Alliance, martial arts students can apply for subsidies if their families are financially disadvantaged.
At that time, Li Zixiao was alone and had no financial resources, so he relied on the subsidies provided by the school.
Lin Jiayi looked a little ugly: "Well, our school is relatively poor and the subsidies are not enough..."
Yun Xi and Li Zixiao immediately understood that Lin Jiayi must have been plotted by someone. Yun Xi carefully looked at the face of this little girl. She was fifteen or sixteen years old. She was pretty and cute, and she was quite likeable.
Little girl.
Yun Xi asked: "Isn't it okay to change schools?"
"My talent is not good, and other martial arts schools refuse to accept me."
Lin Jiayi tried her best to smile, but her expression was more uncomfortable than crying.
Yun Xi wiped the water off her hands and touched her head: "It's okay, maybe one day everything will change!"
When night fell, the temperature was already very low. The three of them moved their work place to the kitchen, closed the door, lit the fire, and it suddenly became much warmer.
Yun Xi saw that it was getting late, so she asked Lin Jiayi to take care of her mother first and prepare to rest, so she didn't need to help anymore.
Lin Jiayi did feel a little sleepy and stopped insisting.
The fire flickered, illuminating Yun Xi's little face red. What Li Zixiao saw was not Yun Xi's original face, but he could imagine how cute Yun Xi's face was behind the false perception.
"You want to help her?"
Li Zixiao asked.
Yun Xi neatly arranged the string strings she had worn, and said, "I'm here, so it's not illegal to help me."
Li Zixiao didn't mean to stop it. It was just a martial arts school. With Yun Xi's current status, just one word could even cause this martial arts school to close down.
She just felt that Kang Suyue gave them seven days, which was really short, but Yun Xi was working hard to find something to do, and seemed to be very happy with it.
"It's finally done, let's go, let's take a good bath, and then have a good sleep."
Yun Xi finally gathered all the ingredients needed for tomorrow, warmed her hands by the fire for a while, and then walked towards their room.
It was said to be a bath, but because of the cold weather, Yun Xi finally just washed her face, soaked her feet, and crawled onto the bed. Fortunately, her body was not dirty due to her constitution.
"Hiss~~"
Hugging her shoulders tightly, Yun Xi shrank her legs and crawled into bed while shivering.
"It's so cold!"
Li Zixiao moved towards Yipi: "Don't come close to me."
"What are you doing? Do you dislike me? I want to get close... hmm? Why are you so cold?"
When Yun Xi got closer to Li Zixiao, she realized that she was very cold.
Just as the flesh and blood in Yun Xi's body has certain healing and purifying abilities, Li Zixiao's body temperature is lower than that of normal people because of the exercises.
In the past, Yun Xi had spiritual power, so she was not afraid of the cold. Now that her spiritual power has been temporarily blocked, Li Zixiao no longer wants to be close to her, in case her body temperature will affect her.
But unexpectedly, after Yun Xi realized that her body was still so cold, she actually put her arms around her.
"I will suffer a little today, so I can share some warmth with you."
While stunned, Yun Xi's trembling voice came from behind.
