99: Arrival at Echo Valley

This was the second time Jiang Chen had used the Soul Searching Technique, and he was clearly much more skilled.

This time, he only extracted some of the most recent memories.

After all, childhood memories were useless to Jiang Chen, and he wasn't someone with special preferences.

Soon, Jiang Chen obtained several important pieces of information.

Besides Celestial Bone Daoist setting up the Formation, the Hall Master of the Ten Evils Hall had also come to the Qingyun Mountain Range.

Moreover, most of the events here were being orchestrated by that so-called Hall Master behind the scenes.

"Found him!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Celestial Bone Daoist's figure appeared in Jiang Chen's mind, along with a general location.

Generally speaking, the location of a Formation Master must be quite concealed.

After all, the key to deploying a Formation is not to be disturbed by others, and it also ensures one's safety.

Now, having obtained Celestial Bone Daoist's location from this person's mind, dealing with him would be much easier.

Celestial Bone Daoist himself was only at the Xiantian Realm of cultivation; he could only rely on the Formation to deal with Lu Qian and the others.

If it were a head-on confrontation, Lu Qian's Spirit Martial Realm strength could easily kill Celestial Bone Daoist!

"It really was Celestial Bone Daoist who sent them to kill me."

Although Jiang Chen was underwater just now,

with his Physical Body enhanced ten thousand times, he could clearly hear these people approaching.

Within a certain range, nothing could escape Jiang Chen's perception.

So, as soon as he emerged, he targeted these two people.

The blade light in Chu Yun's hand was sharp, and the opponent's cultivation was not weak; he was, after all, at the ninth layer of the Xiantian Realm.

But when he turned around and saw his companion die at Jiang Chen's hands, a sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

If Jiang Chen also joined the battle, he would surely be in grave danger.

With a thought, he immediately wanted to flee.

And at this moment, Jiang Chen's Cloud Piercing Light Splitting Arrow had already arrived.

Whoosh!

At first glance, the arrow's light seemed to be heading straight for Chu Yun's back.

But as it got closer, it rapidly exploded.

More than a dozen split arrows bypassed Chu Yun and swiftly blasted towards the opponent.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even with agile movements and high cultivation,

under Jiang Chen's volley of arrows, his defenses continuously collapsed.

At this moment,

he realized that Jiang Chen's strength was many times greater than Chu Yun's!

The truly terrifying one was Jiang Chen before him.

"Die!"

A cold glint flashed in Chu Yun's eyes, and her long saber swiftly slashed out.

"Puff!"

One strike hit the opponent.

However, the opponent was by no means an amateur; in this extreme situation, he still managed to perform a 'golden cicada shedding its shell' move, fleeing into the distance, but his true strength had already dwindled to less than one-tenth.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen shot another arrow, accurately hitting the person's head.

With a bang, the head exploded.

"Ding... Kill Value +1"

Seeing the enemy killed, Chu Yun finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, during their previous exchange, Chu Yun also felt the power of the Cultivation Technique Jiang Chen had taught her.

Whether it was the circulation of Spiritual Qi or the execution of moves, it was all faster and smoother than before!

It was several times more powerful than her original Cultivation Technique!

Even its future potential was quite immense.

Chu Yun also knew that this kindness was impossible to repay, so she could only repay Jiang Chen by finding him more Young Misses in the future.

As she thought of numerous Young Misses, Sheng Lingyao's image popped into Chu Yun's mind.

She wondered how this proud little woman would act in front of Jiang Chen.

If she could help Jiang Chen win over Sheng Lingyao, then Jiang Chen's future would be directly soaring.

"These two were both Celestial Bone Daoist's subordinates, sent to kill me. I didn't expect to run into them here."

"I already know Celestial Bone Daoist's hiding place in Echo Valley. When we get there, you go kill Celestial Bone Daoist, and it will surely be a great merit."

Jiang Chen said to Chu Yun.

Jiang Chen himself wasn't very concerned about military merits; as long as he got more contribution points to exchange for martial arts in the Shangwu Pavilion, that was enough.

But as a Black Yamen Demon Slaying Guard Banner Officer, Chu Yun's strength had now improved. With military merits, she would have infinite potential in the future. Moreover, Jiang Chen had previously promised to help Chu Yun become a Thousand-Household Officer.

"Hehe, no problem."

"I got that guy's Storage Ring; I'll give it to you then."

Chu Yun said with a smile.

A Family naturally doesn't speak two different languages.

She needed military merits to rise in rank so she could regain her status within her Family.

With a higher status, she would naturally be able to protect Jiang Chen.

She had noticed before that Jiang Chen enjoyed collecting Storage Rings, which was why she mentioned it.

"Deal."

Jiang Chen solemnly shook hands with Chu Yun.

"Happy cooperation."

Chu Yun also cooperated with Jiang Chen and said.

The two also swiftly headed towards Echo Valley.

Along the way,

Jiang Chen also took out the martial arts puppet in his hand.

He re-injected Body Tempering Qi into it.

The Hell Wolf was resurrected.

"This little toy, is it yours?"

"Earlier on the cliff, if not for this guy appearing and delaying some time, I probably wouldn't have lasted until you arrived."

Chu Yun said in surprise.

"This is a martial arts puppet, capable of operating with Body Tempering Qi."

Jiang Chen explained, but he didn't go into too much detail, as it came from the System and wasn't easy to explain.

And Chu Yun, being a smart person, naturally didn't pry about the origin of the Cultivation Technique either.

However, in Chu Yun's heart, she had already regarded Jiang Chen as a Disciple of a mysterious Legacy.

Such a Legacy, placed anywhere, would be incredibly dazzling.

She hadn't expected to encounter it herself.

Jiang Chen reawakened the Hell Wolf, and the Hell Wolf's figure flickered, swiftly darting into the distance.

It carried Jiang Chen's command to accumulate Kill Value.

Within her sight,

Chu Yun watched the Hell Wolf kill some Acquired Realm demons, as if crushing ants.

She immediately couldn't help but sigh.

"If there were hundreds of such Puppets, these demons wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

"Hundreds? Even this one alone is quite valuable."

Chu Yun stuck out her tongue; she naturally knew that such treasures were rare.

"Ding... Kill Value +1"

"Ding... Cultivation Value +50"

"Ding... Kill Value +1"

"Ding... Cultivation Value..."

Listening to the System's prompts and the continuously increasing numbers, Jiang Chen felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Chu Yun also identified the direction, and taking Jiang Chen, swiftly headed towards Echo Valley.

Finally, after continuously killing some Xiantian Realm demons blocking their way,

Echo Valley finally appeared before them.

Within the vast Echo Valley, the terrifying sound of strong winds echoed at this moment.

The wailing Cold Wind (yin wind) whispered like a giant monster claiming souls.

As soon as Jiang Chen approached, he felt the Spiritual Qi within his body being suppressed.

"It's the Spirit Severing Array!"

"It seems the Spirit Severing Array has already been activated."

"However, the suppression of this Spirit Severing Array requires a process. To completely suppress a Spirit Martial Realm expert, it will take at least an hour."

Jiang Chen flipped his wrist.

A Spirit Stone appeared in his hand.

Using his Divine Soul power as a carving knife, he carved a shielding Formation within the Spirit Stone.

Chu Yun, standing beside him, was stunned by this sight.

She hadn't expected Jiang Chen to also understand Divine Soul techniques and Formation techniques!

"Sister Yun, this Formation Stone can withstand the effects of the Spirit Severing Array for about fifteen minutes."

"You don't need to enter the Formation yet. Later, watch for my signal, find an opportunity to ambush and kill Celestial Bone Daoist, and claim the merit!"

Jiang Chen handed the newly made Formation Stone to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun nodded after taking the Formation Stone.

"Okay!"

Then she leaned in, and her sweet, moist lips landed on Jiang Chen's cheek.

"You be careful too."
