Chapter 1647: Entering the Valley
Witnessing a Golden Immortal being bitten to pieces and swallowed by Qingming Immortal King, the Immortals present finally realized that they were not facing an ordinary Immortal, but a Demon Cultivator, or even possibly a Heavenly Demon.
Heavenly Demons feed on Immortals. In front of a Heavenly Demon, they have no room for negotiation. If they continue to disobey, their fate will be no different from that of the Golden Immortal.
Qingming Immortal King's body quickly returned to its original state. He licked the blood on his lips and looked at the other Golden Immortals next to the one he had just consumed, then said, "Just in time, I'm a bit hungry."
"You should know how to choose."
After witnessing the fate of their fellow disciple, the remaining Golden Immortals trembled and said:
"We... we... will... go scout ahead..."
As soon as the words were spoken, the remaining Golden Immortals turned and ran towards the valley without hesitation.
Entering the valley might not mean death, but staying here would likely result in them being swallowed whole. They had no choice.
After those Golden Immortals entered the valley, a thick fog quickly enveloped the valley, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. The figures of those Golden Immortals gradually disappeared into the white mist.
This white mist seemed to block all forms of detection. Even the Immortal Kings couldn't sense the presence of those Golden Immortals with their perception abilities.
Now they didn't even know if those Golden Immortals were still alive.
At this moment, one of the Immortal Kings couldn't remain still any longer and directly walked into the white mist with the Golden Immortals behind him, without needing a word from Qingming Immortal King.
Although there might be danger inside, there might also be opportunities. Nowadays, the Life Dao is being corroded by mysterious forces, greatly shortening the lifespan of Immortals, many of whom need opportunities to break through limits.
Seeing someone take the initiative, the other Immortals also began to stir.
Qingming Immortal King frowned slightly. With this white mist as an obstruction, nobody knew what was happening inside. If it was dangerous, it would be fine, but if there were opportunities inside, letting these people enter first would mean those opportunities would belong to them.
If it were treasures, it would be fine. Even if these people obtained the treasures, he could threaten them into handing them over. But if it were certain Immortal Law inheritances, if these people didn't speak, he wouldn't know who had obtained the inheritance.
He couldn't possibly conduct a Soul Search on each person, as that would genuinely incur public outrage. At that point, these people might risk being killed outside to fight him to the death.
After thinking for a moment, Qingming Immortal King decided to go in with these people. If they really encountered danger, he could use them as scapegoats.
Thinking about this, Qingming Immortal King immediately said to the remaining Immortals, "Follow me inside!"
Upon hearing Qingming Immortal King's words, no one present refused. They had witnessed the tragic scene of the Golden Immortal with their own eyes and certainly didn't want to become Qingming Immortal King's little snack. The most important thing was they too wanted to see if there were any opportunities inside.
After that, all the Immortals present moved toward the valley, including Lu Chen.
Seeing everyone enter, Qingming Immortal King instructed the disciples of Nine Heavens Institute a few words and then followed those people into the valley.
As soon as they entered the valley, everyone sensed something wrong. Although their perceptions were blocked outside, upon entering the valley, they could clearly sense the presence of fierce beasts.
Xiyue Immortal Venerable immediately transmitted a message to Lu Chen and members of Beast Alliance, "Be careful, there are likely fierce beasts in this valley."
As soon as Xiyue Immortal Venerable finished speaking, some heart-wrenching screams came from the white mist.
The members of Beast Alliance quickly formed a circle, placing Lu Chen in the center. They knew Lu Chen's importance; Lu Chen could depict Holy Tier Array Patterns. If they encountered strong enemies, they would need Lu Chen to depict patterns to help them out of trouble, so Lu Chen must not be harmed.
At this time, an Immortal King flew into the air, attempting to use immortal power to disperse the white mist in the valley. However, unexpectedly, as soon as the Immortal King flew up, a black shadow appeared behind him.
The Immortal King realized he was being attacked and quickly rotated, blasting out a palm.
His Palm Qi collided with the black shadow, and a mass of black blood exploded. The Immortal King disdainfully said, "A bunch of beasts, pretending to be mysterious, but that's all there is to it."
Once he finished speaking, he directly summoned the Golden Body Dharma Form and quickly formed a spell with his fingers. In the next moment, several tornadoes appeared in the valley.
As the tornadoes swept through, the white mist gradually dissipated.
Seeing the white mist unexpectedly clear, the Immortals in the valley paused in surprise. When they were outside, they thought this mist was undispersible.
After entering the Small World, they had encountered many situations that couldn't be destroyed with immortal power. Clearly, there was Rule Power protecting certain scenes in this Small World, so when they saw the mist appear in the valley, they instinctively thought the mist couldn't be dispelled.
Now it seemed, clearly they had overthought it. It appears this mist is likely not a product of Rule Power, but rather caused by the fierce beasts within the Small World.
With the mist gone, the scene inside the valley came into view. In the middle of the valley was a giant stone tablet inscribed with countless dense runes.
Around the stone tablet, there were blood-red Dao Charm flows, but this Dao Charm was somewhat different from the known Dao Charms.
Generally, Dao Charms cause resonance among those cultivating similar paths, but the Dao Charm circulating around the stone tablet didn't trigger resonance in any Immortal present.
Among so many Immortals present, even if the Dao Charm circulating in the air differed from the paths these Immortals cultivated, many of them had lived for billions of years and have seen all kinds of Dao Charms.
Yet, the Dao Charm circulating in this valley was one that none of the Immortals present had ever seen before.
At this moment, someone was already suspecting that the fallen person was not an Immortal Emperor, but someone from Outer Heaven.
No time to study the runes on the stone tablet, suddenly, a black door appeared in front of the stone tablet. The next moment, countless fierce beasts of Immortal Monarch Realm rushed out of that door and charged toward the Immortals present.
This time without the mist, everyone could see these fierce beasts with their eyes. They were not as passive as before. They were not as frightened as when they initially entered the valley; some Immortals even took the initiative to face off against the beasts, engaging in battle.
For a moment, the entire valley became extremely chaotic as various magic filled the sky and the power of countless magic treasures intertwined.
Lu Chen was surrounded by Beast Alliance members for protection. Even though he only had Mortal Immortal Cultivation, he did not suffer any attacks.
Meanwhile, Chu Zhengyu had already entered the valley. Seeing the Beast Alliance members enveloping Lu Chen as if protecting him, Chu Zhengyu grew increasingly curious about Lu Chen's real identity.
So many members of the Demon Race protecting a Mortal Immortal? This seemed rather strange, and it was evident that this Mortal Immortal held a high position within the Beast Alliance.
