669: Secret entrance

Burial Dragon Valley!

This was a huge valley that lived up to its name, with hideous, towering black cliffs on both sides that resembled the spine of a giant Dragon.

In the center of the valley, a huge spatial vortex, distorted and shimmering with rainbow-colored light, was slowly rotating and expanding!

The space around the vortex rippled like water, emitting an ancient and vast Aura—it was the entrance to the Ancient Pill Venerable Secret Realm!

At this moment, inside and outside the valley, there was already a sea of people!

Human Race Cultivators in various styles of clothing occupied one side of the valley, clearly demarcated.

There were Myriad Sword Valley Disciples dressed in uniform green robes, carrying long swords, with Auras as sharp as unsheathed blades;

There were members of the Nine Nether Sect, shrouded in grim ghostly Qi, with gloomy expressions;

And the Loose Cultivator Alliance in various outfits and small groups. Occupying the other half of the valley were the Yao Race of various forms, with soaring Demonic Qi!

Transformed Great Yao had majestic Auras, untransformed Yao Beasts roared to the heavens, and various powerful Yao Birds circled above the canyon, casting huge shadows.

When Yao Delong and his party arrived at the valley entrance on Escape Light, bringing the unique black and white Qi of the Yin Yang Sect, they instantly attracted countless gazes!

"Look! People from the Yin Yang Sect are here too!"

"Tsk tsk, of the four top immortal sects of the Eastern Region, except for the Moyang Sect who hasn't shown up, Myriad Sword Valley, Nine Nether Sect, and Yin Yang Sect are all here! What a massive lineup!"

"Who is that young man leading them? He looks very unfamiliar, not like one of those long-famous Peak Masters of the Yin Yang Sect?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

A well-informed Loose Cultivator lowered his voice and said with a bit of awe:

"Heh, you're ill-informed, aren't you? That lord is the newly promoted True Disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, Yao Delong! A truly ruthless star!"

"Yao Delong? Never heard of him, is he very powerful?" someone nearby asked in confusion.

"Powerful? More than just powerful!" A flicker of fear flashed in the Loose Cultivator's eyes.

"You know 'Old Black Mu', that notorious Void Refining Early Stage Law Enforcement Vice Hall Master of the Nine Nether Sect, right?"

"A ruthless character with a tough Physical Body and Divine Soul secret techniques who could hold his own against Void Refining while at the Soul Transformation Stage!"

"Of course I know! Who doesn't know Old Black Mu? What about him..."

"Hmph, not long ago in the Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley, I heard this True Disciple Yao, with the stature of a Soul Transformation Cultivator, forcibly suppressed and captured Old Black Mu alive!"

"Hiss—!!!!"

A sound of collective gasping suddenly rang out! Countless gazes instantly focused on Yao Delong, filled with shock, horror, and disbelief!

Soul Transformation capturing Void Refining? And it was the notoriously fierce Old Black Mu? This is simply a fairy tale!

But seeing the man speak so convincingly, and the respectful attitude of several Yin Yang Sect Elders toward the young man, one couldn't help but believe it!

In an instant, the representatives of first- and second-rate forces who had originally only seen Yao Delong as an ordinary Prodigy had their expressions completely change!

Filled with wariness and solemnity. To be able to capture Old Black Mu, this boy definitely possessed terrifying combat power at the Void Refining level!

His status in the Yin Yang Sect is probably even higher than some Elders with actual power!

Yao Delong ignored those gazes of awe or scrutiny and led the group straight toward the relatively open area in front of the Secret Realm entrance.

Feeling their powerful Aura, the Cultivators and Yao Race blocking the way ahead subconsciously made a path.

Just then, from the Myriad Sword Valley's team, a middle-aged Sword Cultivator dressed in a green sword robe, with a square face and an Aura as deep as an abyss and as heavy as a mountain, greeted them with a loud laugh.

A simple long sword hung at his waist, his Sword Intent restrained but ready to strike; he was impressively a sword path powerhouse at the Void Refinement Mid-stage!

"Hahaha! True Disciple Yao! We haven't met for many days, and your presence is even greater than before! Your cultivation has progressed rapidly; truly, the young are to be feared, the young are to be feared!"

The newcomer was none other than the Hall Master of the 'Hidden Sword Hall' of Myriad Sword Valley—Li Canglan! He had represented Myriad Sword Valley at Yao Delong's True Disciple ceremony.

"Hall Master Li, you flatter me." Yao Delong cupped his hands in return, a gentle smile on his face.

"Hall Master Li's Sword Qi is contained within; it seems you are not far from the realm of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Ancestor." He saw at a glance that the other party's cultivation had improved again.

"Hahaha, True Disciple Yao has a good eye!"

Li Canglan laughed heartily, obviously in a good mood. The two exchanged pleasantries for a few moments in a harmonious atmosphere.

This scene falling into the eyes of others further confirmed Yao Delong's pivotal status among the top immortal sects.

However, in the gloomy area occupied by the Nine Nether Sect, a pair of eyes as cold and poisonous as a venomous snake was fixed firmly on Yao Delong!

It was the leader of the Nine Nether Sect this time—the Hall Master of the War God Hall, Tu Wanxiong!

He was burly, with muscles knotted like iron and bronze-colored skin, as if containing explosive power,

his Aura was fierce and violent, impressively a Body Cultivator giant at the Peak of Void Refinement Mid-stage!

"Yao Delong... the kid who took down Old Black Mu..." A low voice, like rolling thunder, came from Tu Wanxiong' throat.

Looking at Yao Delong's face, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but it was blurry.

"Hmph! That trash Old Black Mu! He couldn't even take down a junior in the Soul Transformation Stage, he has simply lost all face for my Nine Nether Sect!"

He cursed inwardly, but the killing intent in his eyes grew thicker and thicker,

"Once we enter the Secret Realm... find an opportunity, I must kill this little bastard first! To eliminate future trouble!"

The discussions among the Loose Cultivators continued:

"Even the top immortal sects have sent Void Refining big shots to oversee things... in these muddy waters, we'll be lucky if we can even get a sip of the soup..."

"Isn't that the truth! Look at the Yao Race side, there are dozens of transformed Great Yao! Their Demonic Qi is soaring!"

"I heard that the one leading these Great Yao is the overlord of the Demon Transformation Mountain Range—the a mythical beast Demon King!

That is a true Peak Tenth-rank Demon King, with terrifying ferocity!"

As if to confirm the Loose Cultivator's words.

At the core of the Yao Race camp, where the Demonic Qi was thickest, a Ninth-rank Demon Marshal with an extremely keen sense of smell, resembling a hound,

suddenly twitched its nose, and its gaze instantly locked onto the eye-catching bright silver figure in the Yin Yang Sect's team—Han Yun!

"It's her! The woman the Leopard went to hunt down!"

A fierce light flashed in the Hound Demon Marshal's eyes, and without hesitation, it turned into a demonic wind and flew rapidly toward a certain direction deep within Burial Dragon Valley!

Dozens of miles away from Burial Dragon Valley, in a huge demon cave.

The Sky-Splitting Demon King was leaning lazily on a huge stone chair covered with thick animal skins, while a demon woman was carefully massaging his shoulders.

The Bat-Winged Demon Marshal stood waiting respectfully to the side.

The Hound Demon Marshal's figure rushed into the cave like a whirlwind, kneeling on one knee, his voice carrying excitement:

"Reporting to the Great King! We've found that woman! That woman from the Yin Yang Sect is in the Yin Yang Sect's team outside Burial Dragon Valley!"

"Oh?" The Sky-Splitting Demon King suddenly opened those blood-diamond-like vertical pupils, and a cold killing intent instantly filled the air, causing the temperature in the cave to plummet!

"Hehehe... good! Very good! Saves this King the trouble of looking for her again!"

He slowly stood up, his tall body like a volcano about to erupt, the bone spurs on his deep red battle armor shimmering with a cold light.

He cracked his neck, making a tooth-aching sound of popping joints.
