Chapter 1730 - 313: Asking for Monthly Tickets!_2

Just as Lin Shuyou habitually wanted to use the child's skill to enclose the dust and continue to shape it into a cannonball, he heard the voice of Brother Xiao Yuan from within, and immediately stopped his actions, not maximizing the benefits of this counterattack.

The reason for Li Zhiyuan's halt was that if they continued to tug along with the vine, the battle between both sides would naturally commence.

His goal was to stop the opponent at minimal cost.

"Puff!"

The youngest son behind the main branch spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The Zhao family first lady: "No arrays, no barriers, no early miasma expansion."

Uncle Zhao: "That means they rely on what they hear or smell, using innate five senses."

"They're hiding deep. It was Zhao Yi who deliberately concealed them."

"They've stood by Zhao Yi's side."

"How dare they."

"They must have some reliance."

"Are we still acting then?"

"No more acting."

"It's just as well, I'm tired of acting."

Uncle Zhao opened his mouth, emitted a low growl from his throat, and his face quickly turned blurry, all gathering into a pearl on the tip of his tongue. Once he closed his mouth, a sharp-eyed middle-aged man emerged.

This quality forged through slaughter couldn't possibly have been nurtured by Uncle Zhao, who is accustomed to scheming and managing clan affairs at home.

The Zhao family first lady also opened her mouth, and after a wave of blurriness, turned into a middle-aged woman, with a mole at the corner of her mouth. Not stunningly beautiful, but still charming.

Her two "sons" also followed suit, uncovering their disguises and revealing their true faces. One was covered in scars, with a muscular build, while the other was obviously somewhat frail, his loose clothing constantly fluttering against his body with the light breeze.

Li Zhiyuan took another look at the frail young man; the shadow that launched the attack just now was released by him, but not a puppet.

Moreover, the blood the young man spat earlier didn't seem to be his own.

Li Zhiyuan's mind was racing, trying to discern what kind of magic technique the other party used.

The conclusion he reached was somewhat surprising even to him.

This magic technique, how does it resemble the Underworld's style of inheritance?

It seems somewhat similar to his "Constraining Spirits and Sending Generals," but it's much more primitive and coarse, not a fundamental technique, though its effect and attributes are similar.

"Brother Binbin, have them announce their affiliations."

"Understood."

Tan Wenbin flicked his sleeve, disdainfully saying:

"Using such tricks, it's disgraceful. Which small house are you from, with no understanding of the rules?"

Originally, Uncle Zhao was indifferent, his group of four having already locked onto various auras, a sign of an all-out move.

But the words Tan Wenbin spoke after being prompted by Li Zhiyuan made their auras falter.

Tan Wenbin: "Ha, a bunch of ridiculous wandering spirits and wild ghosts."

Uncle Zhao straightened up again, with a serious expression.

The Zhao family first lady whispered, "We've been seen through?"

Uncle Zhao: "Let's probe further first."

After speaking, Uncle Zhao held the axe horizontally in front of him, spinning it to create a mournful howl, as if fierce ghosts were wailing.

"Valley of the Living Sacrificial Officer - Bu Chen."

The Zhao family first lady placed a ruler horizontally by her lips, and the sound of a flute rose, the vegetation on both sides seemingly responding.

"Valley of the Living Judgment Officer - Chou Chuyin."

The scarred young man clenched his fists, placing them at his sides, wind eyes gathering, creating continuous sonic booms.

"Valley of the Living Executioner - Luo An."

The frail young man gave a sinister smile, followed by various echoing laughter from within his body, eerily saying:

"Valley of the Living Executioner - Zheng Ming."

The etiquette of Jianghu is not a matter of mere formality; if you're from a rough background, it doesn't matter. But navigating the Jianghu, what one fears most is the complex backgrounds. Killing or harming the wrong person can lead to a series of ensuing calamities.

Tan Wenbin thought, "Huh, these four people, why do they seem so underworldly."

Lin Shuyou thought, "The ghost energy on them is so heavy."

Encountering Qiu Huaiyu's team earlier, there was one called "White Impermanence," but that was just a post-mechanical technique image, actually having nothing to do with the underworld.

But the four people in front of him, their breath and attribute completely consistent, of course, when they announced their affiliations, they also mentioned a place.

Li Zhiyuan thought, "Valley of the Living, within the borders of Yun Nan Yuxi, that place is now also named Ailao Mountain.

It's normal for them to have ghost energy; Fengdu isn't the only place referred to as the underworld, it's just that the Great Emperor was too powerful, turning his Daoist field into the mythic sole exemplar.

In reality, there are many small underworlds in various places, and the Valley of the Living is a sect power based on this.

Li Zhiyuan was aware of this sect from a remnant volume of the Health Care Scripture in the basement at Grandpa's house, authored by a traveling master who once sought the Secret Technique of Re-fleshing bones.

The book recounted his journey to the Valley of the Living, thinking he would finally witness the true transmission, but the results were deeply disappointing, not the immortality he desired.

The descriptions portrayed that the Valley of the Living was essentially a mini underworld.

For a Bodhisattva to establish a new hell, he must first seal the existing big underworld. Similarly, those little underworlds have the prefix "little" because Fengdu suppresses them.

It's known that Zhao Heming and Chen Cui'er, replacing the third house, were born from the Buddhist sect, possibly guided by a hand left by the Bodhisattva.

The Valley of the Living River Walkers from the small underworld are likely influenced by the Great Emperor's guidance on the Zhao family's "Whole Clan Awaiting Ennoblement."
