Chapter 577 You said this is the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?
The moment she sensed the barrier disappear, Jiang Liqian immediately opened her eyes.
She finished her breathing exercise, waved her sleeve to open the door, and a figure flashed by, appearing outside in the blink of an eye.
She thought she was fast enough this time to catch a glimpse of the voice from yesterday, but in fact, she still didn't see the person.
With her eyes slightly lowered, Jiang Liqian did not insist.
The other party had made sure she was comfortable for the night, so there was no reason for her to embarrass them further and press them further. Right now, the most important thing was to find out where her junior brother was.
She had already tried the identity jade pendant, but it didn't work, so there was only one way left.
She summoned the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl at her waist, and its bright blue light shimmered in the thin air. Soon it began to flicker, resonating with another Spirit-Suppressing Pearl in the world.
Jiang Liqian casually left a thank-you note and attached spirit stones, then followed the guidance of the Spirit Suppressing Pearl and rode away on her sword.
The trees on both sides kept rushing past her until she had walked quite a distance before she felt that this place seemed familiar.
Just as the sword's edge slowed, a loud shout suddenly came from below, followed by a huge, ferocious white tiger's paw slamming down on her head.
Jiang Liqian was shocked and abruptly changed direction. She swung out her right palm, and dense spiritual energy gathered into a human palm, which collided with the tiger's palm, forcefully blocking the attack.
With just one move, she keenly sensed the difference.
The demonic power is too pure and extremely powerful. The person who came must either possess the bloodline of an ancient demon beast or be a young person with extraordinary talent. Given time, he will surely become extraordinary.
Seeing his attack blocked, the person on the ground was stunned, followed by an even more furious roar: "You rude human cultivator, you know that sword flight is forbidden in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, yet you still do it on purpose. It seems you're relying on your skills to deliberately provoke us!"
The wind was so strong that Jiang Liqian could barely hear clearly. She didn't want to get into a fight; she was in a hurry to find her junior brother. Just as she was about to continue flying away on her sword, the opponent's attacks came rushing towards her again, each one more clearly aimed at killing her than the last.
She gradually frowned and pressed down on the sword.
If this person is deliberately trying to cause her trouble, she wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson. But if there's another reason, she hopes to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible so as not to delay her business.
Unexpectedly, just as she lowered the tip of her sword, a golden dog cage descended upon her. She immediately tried to summon the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl to defend herself, but it seemed as if the golden cage had instantly drained all the spiritual energy from her body. Her movements froze, and she was trapped inside the cage.
She tried to concentrate her strength to break through, but the spiritual power she gathered was instantly sucked into the golden cage. Jiang Liqian was shocked and uncertain, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This golden cage seems to be some kind of high-level spiritual treasure specifically designed to restrain people with profound cultivation levels; it is probably usually used to imprison certain heinous criminals.
Who is this guy who started this with something like this right off the bat? Is he deliberately trying to humiliate her?
The golden cage fell to the ground from mid-air, accompanied by a cloud of dust and the cracking sound of grass and trees.
"Hmph, I'd like to see which shameless person dares to be so arrogant on someone else's turf—and how come it's such a young girl?" The aggressive tone came to an abrupt halt. The young man who was about to give the girl in the golden cage a good thrashing was stunned, seemingly not expecting this. His hand, which was about to strike, froze in mid-air, unsure whether to put it down or continue.
Although the cultivation world doesn't emphasize "being modest towards female cultivators," the demon race still retains the tradition of "being tolerant towards female demons." Generally speaking, males won't provoke females, except during mating season.
"Who are you? Why did you arrest me?" Jiang Liqian didn't want to guess what his ulterior motives were. If this guy couldn't give her a satisfactory answer, she wouldn't mind taking the trouble to dismantle this broken golden cage.
"You woman really don't know your place. It seems you'll forget who you are if I don't teach you a lesson! You don't know that you can't fly on a sword in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?" Bai Yi was very angry. He had originally planned to let her go since she was a woman and he was too lazy to argue with her, but he didn't expect her to have the nerve to question him.
Isn't this just seeking death?
Alright, he'll grant her wish!
With a flick of his wrist, the golden cage instantly floated in mid-air, following him closely with every step he took.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons? You're saying this is the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?"
Bai Yi raised an eyebrow: "What, are you acting strange? Weren't you very arrogant?"
Jiang Liqian fell silent, her gaze involuntarily drifting into the distance.
Even though she knew that the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was so vast that she could never possibly see the mountain she longed to see, she still couldn't help herself.
In her past life, this was where she ended her tragic and laughable life.
In her past life, she exhausted her life and overcame countless hardships to reach this place, but now she is already there without even realizing it.
Her trembling eyelashes drooped damply, and Jiang Li closed her eyes briefly before asking him, "Where are you taking me?"
Bai Yi sneered: "Turn left ahead, to the place where you atone for your sins."
Turn left ahead, isn't this the route she's taking to find her junior brother?
...That's perfect, it saves her from having to fly on her sword.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is teeming with powerful demons. Although she has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, she is not immune to invading the territory of some bird-clan demon and engaging in a fierce battle with it.
But there's one thing she needs to clarify.
"I didn't know this was the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, nor did I know that sword flight was prohibited within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi neither said he believed it nor he didn't.
Anyway, we've already caught him, so this is a good opportunity to appease those old men and shut them up, so they won't find any more excuses to keep him from leaving.
The senior brother has been here for seven days, and these old men are still practicing Tai Chi. It's infuriating!
Jiang Liqian was imprisoned by him and led into a strangely styled but extremely magnificent palace. All sorts of gemstones were gathered there; she was almost blinded by their brilliance as soon as she entered.
I've only ever heard of birds collecting shiny things to decorate their nests, but I've never heard of a tiger liking shiny gems.
After Bai Yi brought her in, he casually tossed her into a corner and ignored her. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and walked inside with great interest, as if he was preparing to fight someone.
Jiang Liqian waited in the same spot for a long time, but no one came.
She gradually became anxious, and the light from the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl in her hand grew brighter and brighter, clearly indicating that her junior brother was nearby.
Is anyone here? Is anyone here?
