39: The remaining evil forces have not been eliminated, and dangers lurk everywhere.

Although Beyond Heaven severely damaged the Blood Demon Hall in this counterattack, the Blood Demon escaped. His remaining forces are still lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity, like poisonous snakes ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment. Jun Xiaoyao knew well that as long as the Blood Demon Hall was not eradicated, the crisis facing Beyond Heaven and the Jianghu would remain.

"Although the Blood Demon Hall suffered heavy losses this time, the Blood Demon escaped and will certainly gather his remaining forces to plot revenge. We cannot afford the slightest slackness. We must quickly find their hiding place and completely eradicate the Blood Demon Hall," Jun Xiaoyao said, gathering everyone with a solemn expression.

Zhao Gao stepped forward and said, "Master, The Net has fully launched an investigation. Although we have not yet determined the specific hiding place of the Blood Demon Hall's remaining forces, our Scouts report that the Blood Demon Hall seems to be contacting some more secretive Demonic Path organizations, attempting to use their power to rise again."

"It seems the Blood Demon Hall still hasn't given up, daring to collude with even more Demonic Path forces." Qiao Feng snorted coldly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"We cannot give them a chance to breathe." Fu Hongxue gripped his long saber tightly; the blade trembled slightly, as if sensing its Master's hatred for the Blood Demon Hall.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Lang said, "Master, we can start by investigating the Blood Demon Hall's connections with other Demonic Path organizations. The Net should continue to deeply investigate the interactions between the Blood Demon Hall and these organizations to find their possible meeting places or strongholds. At the same time, we must strengthen our ties with various Schools to jointly guard against the Blood Demon Hall's next attack."

Jun Xiaoyao nodded and said, "We will proceed as you suggested. Shen Lang and Xu Ziling, you two are responsible for communicating with the various Schools and strengthening defensive cooperation; Qiao Feng, Fu Hongxue, West Gate Blows Snow, and Ye Gucheng, you will lead the Beyond Heaven elites, ready to strike at any moment; Zhao Gao, The Net's intelligence is crucial, you must find the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Hall as quickly as possible; Xiang Shaolong, continue to perfect the defensive Mechanisms and enhance Beyond Heaven's defensive capabilities; Marshal of the Unruly, strengthen the training of 'The Unruly' to prepare for all kinds of emergencies."

Everyone accepted the order and immediately immersed themselves in the intense work.

The Scouts of The Net moved through every corner of the Jianghu like diligent bees, collecting every clue about the Blood Demon Hall. After several days of effort, they finally made an important discovery. It turned out that the Blood Demon Hall was secretly colluding with a Demonic Path organization called the Nether Ghost Sect, preparing to meet in a place called Ten Thousand Demon Valley to discuss their next plan.

"Master, The Net has confirmed that the Blood Demon Hall will meet with the Nether Ghost Sect in Ten Thousand Demon Valley. The Ten Thousand Demon Valley terrain is treacherous, filled with various Traps and Mechanisms, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack." Zhao Gao quickly reported to Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao frowned deeply. The complex terrain of Ten Thousand Demon Valley undoubtedly increased the difficulty of eradicating the Blood Demon Hall. But he knew this was an excellent opportunity; if they missed it, the Blood Demon Hall could very likely use the power of the Nether Ghost Sect to make a comeback, and the Jianghu would face an even greater disaster.

"Notify everyone to prepare for action. This time, we will penetrate deep into the Ten Thousand Demon Valley and completely eliminate the colluding forces of the Blood Demon Hall and the Nether Ghost Sect. However, the Ten Thousand Demon Valley is fraught with danger, so everyone must be extremely careful," Jun Xiaoyao ordered.

Qiao Feng, Fu Hongxue, and the others quickly selected the most elite Disciples of Beyond Heaven to form a strike team. Dressed in special black clothes and carrying various fine weapons and equipment, they set off toward the Ten Thousand Demon Valley under the cover of night.

As they approached the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, a chilling and terrifying aura washed over them. A thick layer of black mist permeated the valley, and strange sounds faintly drifted from the mist, as if countless wronged souls were weeping.

"This Ten Thousand Demon Valley truly reeks of evil. Everyone stay alert," Qiao Feng whispered, his gaze scanning the surroundings warily.

Everyone cautiously stepped into the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. Inside the valley, the rocks were strangely shaped, and the trees were twisted and winding, as if corroded by an evil force. Suddenly, a bottomless ravine appeared ahead, shimmering with an eerie light.

"Be careful, this ravine seems suspicious," Fu Hongxue said.

Just then, countless black sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the ravine, flying toward the group. Qiao Feng shouted, "Scatter!" Everyone quickly used their Movement Technique to dodge the arrows. However, a few Disciples were too slow, were hit by the arrows, and fell down screaming.

"Damn it!" A flash of anger crossed Qiao Feng's eyes. He unleashed the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, and a golden Dragon-shaped palm print slammed toward the ravine. With a tremendous "Boom!", the ground surrounding the ravine was shattered, but the sharp arrows continued to shoot out relentlessly.

"This is not sustainable. We must find a way to cross this ravine," West Gate Blows Snow said.

Ye Gucheng observed the surroundings and noticed some strange Runes beside the ravine. He walked up and carefully studied the pattern of the Runes. After a moment, Ye Gucheng said, "I think I have found the method to break it. These Runes seem to be control Runes for a Mechanism. As long as they are triggered in a specific sequence, the arrow attack will stop."

Ye Gucheng carefully triggered the Runes according to his deduction. Sure enough, the sharp arrows gradually ceased their attack. The group took the opportunity to cross the ravine and continue deeper into the valley.

However, the dangers of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley were far from over. They encountered a group of Nether Ghost Sect Disciples dressed in black robes. These Disciples held black Staffs, chanted incantations, and unleashed black flames toward the group.

"Hmph, watch me deal with them!" Fu Hongxue snorted coldly and unleashed the Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon. Saber Qi crisscrossed, slicing through the black flames one by one. At the same time, he flashed forward like a black bolt of lightning, charging toward the Nether Ghost Sect Disciples. His long saber swung, instantly killing several Disciples.

Qiao Feng, West Gate Blows Snow, and Ye Gucheng also made their moves. Qiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms were incredibly fierce; wherever the palm wind swept, the Nether Ghost Sect Disciples were sent flying back. West Gate Blows Snow's and Ye Gucheng's Sword Arts were exquisite and unparalleled; as Sword Qi flashed, enemies fell one after another.

After a fierce battle, the group successfully repelled this contingent of Nether Ghost Sect Disciples. But they knew the real danger lay ahead; the experts of the Blood Demon Hall and the Nether Ghost Sect must be waiting for them deep inside the valley.

Just then, a sinister laugh echoed from within the valley. "Haha, did you think you could easily pass through the Ten Thousand Demon Valley? Today is the day you die!" A figure slowly walked out of the darkness—it was the Blood Demon. Behind him followed a group of experts from the Blood Demon Hall and the Nether Ghost Sect.

"Blood Demon, today is your doomsday!" Qiao Feng roared, unleashing the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms and attacking the Blood Demon. The Blood Demon snorted coldly, activated the powerful Blood Demon Cultivation Technique, and engaged Qiao Feng in a fierce fight.

Fu Hongxue, West Gate Blows Snow, and Ye Gucheng also found their respective opponents, engaging in a desperate struggle with the experts of the Blood Demon Hall and the Nether Ghost Sect. For a moment, Spiritual Power overflowed in the valley, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

Could the people of Beyond Heaven successfully eliminate the colluding forces of the Blood Demon Hall and the Nether Ghost Sect in this treacherous Ten Thousand Demon Valley? Who would emerge victorious in the confrontation between Qiao Feng and the Blood Demon? This thrilling battle caused the entire Jianghu to tense up, and the situation became increasingly severe...
