for a long time. Finally, he spoke to Qin Sang.“Qin younger brother, the few places I know of, some are dangerous second only to Wuyá Valley. And even if you get in, you may not be able to cure my hi...Someone has been here
Qin Sang felt a chill run down her spine and asked in confusion, "Master wasn't it that you left behind an inscription Wasn't it discovered"
The Cloud Wanderer shook his head gently. “There’s not just one path through the mountain. The Star Venom Toad’s nest is very large, so it wouldn’t be strange if someone found another way in and converged here from a different route. Judging by this Star Venom Toad’s corpse, it died at least two months ago. There’s no sound at all here. Could it be that all the Star Venom Toads have been killed”
At this point, Yun Youzi was suddenly startled.
There were many adult star-poisoned frogs in the nest, a poisonous den that even cultivators at the core formation stage would not dare to enter. The two looked at each other in shock.
“Qin, do you still remember what the shopkeeper of Tianfeng Tower said The chaos in Wuyang Valley appeared very suddenly this time, which is not reasonable. Someone said they felt a very powerful aura sweep past, and those monsters and ghosts seemed to be scared away.”
The cloud wanderer's voice was grave.
Qin Sang whispered, "Senior, are you suspecting..."
The Cloud Wanderer slowly uttered two words, "Yuan Ying."
Then, Qin Sang and Yun Youzi took a bold step, walking into the depths of the Xingdu Frogs' nest. The deeper they went, the more frightened they became.
Dead poison dart frogs floated on the mud, a horrifying sight. It was truly a scene of carnage.
Among them are not a few adult poison dart frogs.
All the Star Poison Frogs are instantly fatal. The most precious poison on a Star Poison Frog, and the only thing of value, has been completely looted.
In addition to that, they didn't even see a trace of battle, as if these poison frogs were happily living in their own nest and were suddenly struck by disaster, completely incapable of fighting back.
The Cloud Wanderer quickened his pace, walking all the way to the end of the nest, but he couldn't find a single living Star Venom Toad.
Qin Sang looked at Yun Youzi and tentatively asked, "Senior, will someone beat you to it"
If a true Nascent Soul were to pass through, even the strongest corpse refining technique would be unable to stop it. The Nascent Soul would easily obliterate the cultivator into ashes, and the medicinal pills would certainly have already been taken by the Nascent Soul.
It made no sense for them to venture further in.
"No"
To Qin Sang's surprise, Yun Youzi shook his head very decidedly.
"Qin, my younger brother, doesn't understand the inner valley. The rumors in the market are just hearsay. Very few people have truly entered the inner valley, so they are not credible."
“The scope of the Endless Valley within the valley far exceeds that of the first and second layers combined, it is a vast and boundless region. Compared to the dangers we encountered in the second layer, what we faced before was nothing but child's play.”
“Within the Nei Valley, ancient restrictions and spatial rifts intertwine everywhere. There are also terrifying ancient beasts hiding within, no weaker than Yuan Ying cultivators. Without a safe route, this old Daoist wouldn't dare bring Brother Qin in here to meet his end.”
"It's impossible to be such a coincidence, that nascent soul happened to walk the same path as us. We haven't left the barrier yet, continuing inside will reveal the clues."
The two continued forward.
Qin Sang discovered that Yun Youzi's direction of travel needed to cross the Star Poison Toad's nest. If those Star Poison Toads were still alive, they would have to put in a lot of effort.
After walking for a while longer, the green mist thinned out. Yun Youzi seemed to have discovered something and quickened his pace. When Qin Sang caught up, he saw a piece of what looked like the remains of some kind of demon beast on the ground, clearly not belonging to a Star Poison Frog.
“The monsters living here are not just star-poison frogs. These are the natural enemies of the star-poison frogs, and they have also been cleared out.”
The Cloud Wanderer chuckled to himself, "I wonder which senior paved the way All my hard work seems pointless now. But at least we've saved ourselves a lot of trouble."
The farther they went, the more mangled limbs littered the ground. The demon beast's blood had stained the mire a sickly blue. The carcasses were stripped bare, their bones picked clean and valuable parts plundered.
Suddenly, Yun Youzi's figure flashed and he darted to a torn piece of animal hide, squatting down and staring at it, lost in thought.
The pelt was only the size of a hand, with black mane that was as hard as needles. In the center of the pelt, there was a very fine scar. Apart from this, there was nothing else unusual about it.
"What are you looking at, senior" Qin Sang inquired curiously.
The "Sword of No Shadow"
The Cloud Wanderer let out a long sigh and pointed at the scar in the middle of the beast skin, "This sword mark was left by the Wuxiang Sword, the signature sword technique of the Wuji Sect. No wonder those Star Poison Frogs died silently. Before the old Taoist saw this piece of beast skin, he just felt strange. It wasn't until he saw this sword mark that he remembered this sword technique."
Qin Sang was taken aback, his surprise exceeding all bounds. "Could that person ahead be the master of Wujimen"
Before that, they had thought it was a Nascent Soul from the Demon Sect who had arrived. They hadn't expected it to be the Master of the Wujigong, one of the Eight Sects of Righteousness. Yun Youzi hesitated and said, "If it were the Shadowless Sword, then it would make sense. It might not necessarily be the Master himself. A late-stage Core Formation expert from the Wujigong could also barely manage this."
Whether it's a nascent soul or someone in the later stages of the Golden Core, neither of them are something these two can provoke. They make no difference to them.
The two continued forward, encountering more remnants of limbs and animal hides. However, there were no sword marks like the previous one. Even with just a single sword mark, Yun Youzi couldn't figure out what had happened.
The space inside the cave was more complex than Qin Sang had imagined. After seeing the remains of some slain demon beasts, the terrain began to change. When they walked out of the mire and turned into a stone crevice, after not going far, they suddenly heard a strange gurgling cry from ahead.
A monster blocked the way ahead, yet Yun Youzi was overjoyed. This showed that the mysterious expert wasn't traveling the same path as them.
The Cloud Wanderer took out a strange artifact crafted from what appeared to be animal hide, covering both of them. They passed through the beast horde without incident, finally reaching the mountain wall. After searching, they found a very hidden and unusually low cave.
"Finally out!"
The Cloud Traveler sighed with emotion.
Qin Sang turned out from behind the Cloud Wanderer.
After entering the cave, although the path was winding and long, they didn't encounter any other restrictions or monsters blocking their way and successfully made it out. Fortunately, the two of them remained unharmed and didn't expend much energy. They had plenty of stamina to face the dangers within the inner valley.
At this moment, they were in a narrow fissure between the mountains, and a bright light came from ahead.
As they were about to emerge from the fissure, the first thing that caught their eyes was a lush expanse of grassland. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, causing them to bend low like waves of green, rippling far and wide.
The rustling sound, however, brought a sense of peace.
In the depths of the grassland, mountain shadows overlap.
At first glance, it was a peaceful scene, unlike what Qin Sang had imagined.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The beautiful scenery before them seemed out of place. Qin Sang's face was filled with surprise.
Seeing Qin Sang's expression, Yun Youzi could also guess what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Qin younger brother doesn't need to be surprised. Just take a few more steps forward, and you'll see the true face of Neigu."
