Chapter 2251: Cold Corpse Valley (First Update)

A moment ago.

Zhu Xiaoqi was feeling quite satisfied after cursing, watching “Hu Da” appear somewhat aggrieved. Her heart was filled with delight!

If you can’t beat them, then curse them!

A curse well delivered, and even death feels satisfying!

However, “Hu Da,” who was Lin Tian all along, said something that frightened Zhu Xiaoqi!

To commit acts that are worse than those of beasts, what kind of good things could there be?

For a girl, the most terrifying thing isn’t death, but… dying in a miserable state!

Being violated, not dying as a virgin, is more terrifying than death!

“You… you dare commit such outrageous acts!”

Startled, Zhu Xiaoqi hurriedly retreated a few steps, shouting, “I’d rather die now than let you succeed!”

“If you dare, my Demon Bone Tower will never rest until you’re dead! We’ll bite our tongues and commit suicide right now for you to see. You won’t be able to report success, and by the rules of Corpse Valley, it might just be a dead end…”

Zhang Yun’ai’s face also changed dramatically, turning back to shout.

But “Hu Da” — Lin Tian did not heed the two women’s words, his face revealing a malicious smile.

On the contrary, beside him, Chu Zhiping’s eyes were glowing green, his expression eager yet timid.

He hesitated quickly.

“You don’t know the means of our Corpse Valley? Even biting your tongue to commit suicide won’t lead to death! You know Corpse Refining? Even if your eyes are dug out, you won’t die immediately!”

Chu Zhiping sneered, ignoring Zhang Yun’ai’s threats.

However, soon after, his face fell, looking at “Hu Da” in a crying and laughing manner, saying, “Hu Da, don’t talk nonsense!”

“We’ve caught quite a lot of women when we went out, haven’t we? Do you dare make a move on them? Most are virgins! If you do something, how will you explain when you return? You don’t want your life anymore, but I still value mine!”

Upon hearing this.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Then he searched through the memories he got from the deceased Hu Da, suddenly understanding.

The live humans Corpse Valley uses for Corpse Refining are quite demanding.

For example, women must be virgins!

Ideally, they should be cultivators!

The refined living corpse is either turned into their puppet for battle or used for cultivation, similar to Spirit Stones!

The cultivators of Corpse Valley practice Corpse Qi!

And if Zhang Yun’ai or Zhu Xiaoqi were violated, returning to Cold Corpse Valley would surely result in punishment!

“Hehe… Lucky for you!”

Lin Tian smiled at Zhu Xiaoqi, raising his eyebrows in jest.

He was originally only trying to scare Zhu Xiaoqi.

If Chu Zhiping had truly acted, he would have had to deal with him then and there!

Luckily, this sect still had such rules, saving him trouble.

Opposite them.

Zhang Yun’ai and Zhu Xiaoqi both let out a sigh of relief.

They both knew that it was difficult to return alive this time.

With Corpse Valley’s methods, even suicide would be impossible!

But if they couldn’t die as virgins, it would be even more devastating!

“But you better behave, if you keep making noise, I’ll enjoy myself even if I die!”

Lin Tian winked at Zhu Xiaoqi, threatening.

At this.

Zhu Xiaoqi quieted down.

Her gaze toward “Hu Da” was filled with fear.

She’s not afraid of death, just afraid of endless abuse and humiliation before dying!

“Finally quiet, this trick really works!”

Lin Tian watched the three continue walking, secretly smiling.

Cold Corpse Valley is located at the junction of Demon Cloud Ridge and Soul Sleeping Mountain.

The group moved along the southwest slope of Demon Cloud Ridge towards the northwest.

They traveled for a full hour.

An extremely large valley appeared in their sight.

At the valley’s entrance, dense forests and lakes were interwoven.

But simultaneously.

Beside the mountains at the valley’s edge, there were numerous skeletons of ferocious beasts scattered.

And piles of human bones, heaped as high as mountains!

One side had picturesque landscapes with lakes and forests.

On the other side, mountains of bones, horrifying scenes!

The stark contrast startled Lin Tian.

This Cold Corpse Valley was peculiar!

Lin Tian secretly marveled, though his expression remained unchanged.

Moreover.

While walking earlier, Chu Zhiping led the way, passing through several arrays, including Illusion Array and defensive formation, reaching the valley.

It showed how well-hidden Cold Corpse Valley was!

Perhaps it’s to prevent other cultivators from sneaking in!

“You beasts killed so many people…”

Seeing the mountain of bones, Zhu Xiaoqi couldn’t hold back and cursed again.

It’s evident, this young girl’s sense of justice is strong!

“Hmph, talking tough even when facing death!”

Chu Zhiping sneered at Zhu Xiaoqi, then said to Lin Tian, “Hu Da, let’s send them to the Corpse Pool Dungeon first, and then report to the Valley Master!”

Corpse Pool Dungeon?

Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, Hu Da’s memories in his mind becoming clearer.

The so-called Corpse Pool Dungeon is where Cold Corpse Valley soaks corpses and imprisons victims.

There, it’s one of the most crucial places in Cold Corpse Valley!

The sect-specific Corpse Pool in Corpse Valley also exists at this sub-branch!

Typically, corpses are soaked first during refinement!

Captured people are sealed and have to soak quietly inside.

Truly vicious!

Lin Tian sighed internally, nodding to Chu Zhiping.

If Yan Cheng and others were still alive, they likely were in that Corpse Pool Dungeon!

“Life and death are determined!”

Zhang Yun’ai shook her head at Zhu Xiaoqi saying.

Finally.

The three cooperatively entered the valley.

Inside is very large.

A river winds through the valley.

Rows of weeping willows grow along the river, creating a remarkable landscape that spans the entire valley.

On either side of the river, various massive stone buildings, rugged and enormous, are situated.

Most notably.

In front of these buildings, various sized skeletons are sprawled.

Contrasting sharply with the river and landscape, it really spoils the view!

At the core of these buildings, at the river’s source, is a rather rugged temple.

Considering that might be where the Valley Master of Cold Corpse Valley resides?

Lin Tian scanned around, guessing secretly.

Following Hu Da’s memories, he, along with Chu Zhiping leading Zhang Yun’ai, headed towards the Corpse Pool Dungeon at the valley’s side.

A narrower and more secluded small canyon, the entrance only visible after a roundabout route.

Inside there, a chilling cold instantly enveloped them.

Even Lin Tian subconsciously paused slightly.

Zhang Yun’ai and the others ahead were shivering.

Here, it was too cold!

Ahead was a branching path.

One side held many cold ponds, visible from afar with rising white fog reaching the sky, spectacular.

The other side was a dark and dull entrance.

The ground’s bluestone path was damp.

The air wafted with a stench!

This side seemed to be the dungeon!
