Chapter 496 – Valleys

“Chirp chirp chirp chirp!”

Outside the Arctic Mountain Range of Yuzhou, Spiritual Master Qi Min reached out his hand towardree not far away. A snow-white bird the size of a palm shot out like lightning and landed in his palm, letting out a series of cries.

Spiritual Master Qi Min frowned and thought, “They went towards the north, into the Coldjade mountain range? It’ity that I, Snowy, didn’t dare to chase after him before the Coldjade mountain range. I don’t know if he went deeper into the Coldjade mountain range, or if he leaped over the Coldjade mountain range and headed straight for Liang Zhou. ”

But since he killed my Snow Wind Sword Sect’s Successor Disciple, he probably did not have the guts to go to Liang Zhou. Most likely, he had entered the Cold Jade Mountain Range, otherwise, it would be difficult to find him.

Forget it, according to the sect’s calculations, afteeriod of time, the extreme northern ice plains would very likely erupt with Aurora. I heard that the other few sects in the Liang Zhou are not being honest either, and could take this opportunity to secretly plot against our sect.

You think that my Snow Wind Sword Sect is just a Heaven-Shaken Sect? You think that just by joining forces with a few other sects, you would be able to topple him, you are too naive, what kind of great enemy of the cultivation world is a Alien Cultivator, when you return to your sect, you must urge your sect to give these dishonest sectuthless lesson. Only by doing this can you let go of those unrealistic fantasies, and obediently listen to my Snow Wind Sword Sect’s orders.

Spiritual Master Qi Min’s thoughts instantly spun like lightning. Who knows how many times he had thought this over. Clouds suddenly appeared under his feet, and his figure disappeared into the clouds a moment later.

Yang Junshan ran along the way, and with every step he took, he was already several tens of meters away. Although he did not fly, his speed was not much slower than flying.

More importantly, not long after they entered the Cold Jade Mountain Range, various kinds of miasma condensed within the ancient forests, and when they neared the ground, it was not obvious yet. If they were to fly at a low altitude, not only would their line of sight be blocked by the miasma, but the poison contained within the miasma would also hinder the cultivators.

This was also one of the most dangerous characteristics of the Coldjade mountain range. The deeper it was, the deeper it was, the denser the miasma became, causing the cultivators that entered the Coldjade mountain range to either fly in the air or travel on the ground. If one wanted to fly while enjoying the scenery of the Coldjade mountain range, then one would often lose their lives without them even realizing it.

With Yang Junshan’s cultivation, he naturally did not care about the dangers at the outskirts of the Coldjade mountain range. He only needed to use the Earth Withdrawal Technique, and he had already rushed to the depths of the Coldjade mountain range ahead of the group of Martial Realm Cultivator.

This was the miasma in the depths of the Coldjade mountain range. If it was the Martial Realm Cultivator that came here, he would probably need to preparill to ward off the miasma and poison; if it was any other Adept Realm Cultivator, they would only need to release the True Essence Aura in their body outside, but they would also need to continuously consume the True Essence in their body.

To Yang Junshan, this level of miasma was something that he could do nothing about, he did not even need to release his True Divine Spirit Qi outside, he only needed to absorb the miasma into his body, not to mention how the strong Nine Transman True Handle could directly remove the miasma, even with Yang Junshan’s physique, he was extremely resistant to the miasma.

Back then, he had thought that he could freely travel through the miasma of the Tuo Wu Shan when his Mortal Realm was at its lowest. This was because the top-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow that he refined when he first started cultivating gave him a strong talent in resisting poisons.

“Whoosh!” A sharp sound came from the back of his head.

Yang Junshan fiercely lowered his head and a fist-sized stone flew past his head, smashing onto an ancient tree in front of him and directly smashing its bark into pieces. The entire surface of the trunk had caved in three inches, and the stone had even completely embedded itself into the trunk of the ancient tree.

When Yang Junshan came back to his senses, he saw a monkey squatting on a tree trunk about sixty meters away, squeaking at him as if demonstrating something, then turned around and ran away.

Yang Junshan frowned, his previous consciousness did not sense that he was being followed by a monkey, the miasma in the forest should not be able to obstruct him.

Seeing that the monkey was about to escape from the tree, Yang Junshan extended his hand out, but the monkey felt like it was caught by a big hand, and it flew towards Yang Junshan.

The monkey bared its fangs and waved its claws in the air as it screeched. It rolled its tail, and unexpectedly tied a branch to it, borrowing the pulling force to spin around the branch, and actually cleverly escaped from Yang Junshan’s pulling force, and flew straight tree at the side.

However, at this time, the monkey seemed to have realized Yang Junshan’s power. The moment it reached the tree, it turned around and ran.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the monkey behind him growl loudly, and immediately, he heard countless monkeys squeaking in reply in the distance. Furthermore, the sounds of the branches violently shaking were getting closer and closer, it was obvious that the monkey had attracted a group of monkeys to continue chasing Yang Junshan.

Seeing that Yang Junshan was about to turn around and leave, it suddenly caught up to him again. While jumping on the tree branch, it turned its head and screamed at the same time, as if it was directing the direction of the monkeys behind it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Junshan shot a stone between his fingers, and with a “bo” sound, the Macaque’s head was struck by the stone. Instantly, the world spun around it, and it fell from the tree onto the ground, fainting.

At this moment, the troop of monkeys was already in sight behind them. Seeing that the monkeys leading the way didn’t know whether they were alive or dead, the troop of monkeys immediately exploded and chased after them like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Countless stones, branches, and fruits came crashing towards them with great force from dozens of feet away.

Even though Yang Junshan was a dignified Adept Realm Cultivator, he could not turn around and use a spirit technique to smash a group of monkeys. Helpless, he could only dodge and escape, while the monkeys behind him chased even more anxiously.

The enraged monkeys continued to chase after Yang Junshan for miles without stopping, but Yang Junshan, who was a dignified Adept Realm Cultivator, was chased to such a state by a bunch of monkeys, if he spread the word, how would he let it go?!

He suddenly turned around and took a few steps forward. His figure flashed in the forest for a while before disappearing.

The troop of monkeys was confused and didn’t know where to go to chase after them. A few of the sturdy monkeys, who seemed to be the leaders of the group, even started to argue about it, and started to fight on the tree.

At this time, Yang Junshan had already arrived behind a group of monkeys, and was walking back in the direction the monkeys came from. He even used the earth shrinking sacred art, and from afar, he looked likay of light shuttling through the forest.

He wondered if there was even the legendary Monkey Wine, which had always been very famous in the cultivation world. Even so, it was still a stunt, but it was much more famous than the Seven Spirit Wine that Yang Junshan had gotten from the Heaven-Shaking Peak.

Of course, this was only an idea that came to mind for Yang Junshan. What he was really looking forward to was finding out the reason behind the strength the Macaque possessed at the place where the monkeys were gathered. At the same time, he also had a question, which was, why had his spirit sense not sensed it earlier when he was being followed by a monkey?

At this time, Yang Junshan had already returned to the place where he had been ambushed by the monkey. He spread out his spirit sense instantly, enveloping an area of nearly three hundred meters around him.

Just as Yang Junshan was feeling suspicious, a startled rabbit suddenly jumped out of the grass 30 metres away. Yang Junshan looked at the rabbit and suddenly understood.

All living things were unknown to his Spiritual Sense. Originally, this forest should have been full of life, but in reality, aside from the plants, his Spiritual Sense could not detect a single living existence.

Yang Junshan pondered for a moment, and continued to head towards the direction where the group of monkeys appeared from. The ancient trees in this direction were even more dense and sturdy, and at the same time, seemed much quieter.

Climbing over a low mountain ridge, a valley appeared in front of his eyes, Yang Junshan looked at the scene inside the valley, and could not help but exclaim, “What a land of peaches!”

The source of the heat should bot spring. There were ancient trees and vines on both sides of the valley, as well as flowers on the grass, and there were fruit trees on the hillside. The monkeys lived in the valley without worry, but at this time, most of the monkeys in the valley were old and weak.

However, what truly surprised Yang Junshan was that these monkeys had actually constructed a simple resting place within the valley. Although it looked extremely simple and crude, at most, it was only sheltered from the rain, the reason behind this was worth Yang Junshan investigating deeply.

Could it be that someone once lived here, or perhaps a Demonic cultivator once trained in this area?

No matter what the reason was, it caused Yang Junshan to feel fear in his heart. However, since he had already reached this point, there was no reason for him to leave, furthermore, it was already too late to leave this valley if there was really something fishy.

Yang Junshan directly charged into the valley, and the troop of monkeys that were originally living in the valley were instantly alarmed, all of them screaming and scurrying around. The young little monkey was protected behind the old monkey and it avoided this uninvited guest from a distance.

Unlike the group of Macaque that were chasing after Yang Junshan earlier, the old monkeys in the valley seemed to have sensed the danger on Yang Junshan’s body from the very beginning, and they all brought the little monkeys away.

These monkeys clearly didn’t have any demonic aura on them, but they were extremely intelligent, especially those old monkeys. It was as if their intelligence had been awakened.

Once Yang Junshan entered the valley, he very quickly smelled the pungent smell of alcohol at the source of the creek. He was immediately startled, could it be that there really was such a legendary thing?

A figure sat cross-legged on the edge of the pool, and faintly appeared from within the thick water vapor. At the same time, there was a faintly discernible sound of breath falling on Yang Junshan’s body, causing his expression to instantly change.
