Chapter 325 Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Night falls, the stars twinkle, and a warm breeze adds a touch of coziness to this desolate holy road.
"I am... I don't know who I am. I've been here as long as I can remember."
The little girl seemed to be very frightened earlier. She hesitated for a moment, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Ye Ru. After a long while, she finally spoke these words in a broken voice.
"I see... Do you know which ancient temple is located on this sacred road?"
Ye Ru picked up some firewood and started a fire between the two of them before continuing.
"I know, but it takes some effort to get to that ancient temple. I went there once, but I was stumped by those checkpoints."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, but seemed to trust Ye Ru and told him everything.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru remained silent for a moment. The other party didn't seem to be lying; on the contrary, they had no sense of wariness towards him.
"Could you take me there?"
Ye Rudao.
"it is good."
The little girl nodded solemnly, then got up and walked in a certain direction.
Seeing this, Ye Ru followed closely behind.
After Ye Ru and the little girl left, in a certain place, groups of two or three people gathered, each with a cold glint in their eyes, as if they were waiting for something.
"It is said that Fangshan has learned of the whereabouts of the wondrous spirits of heaven and earth, so why hasn't he returned yet?"
A young man with a scar on his face said in a deep voice, his words filled with a hint of impatience.
Judging from his robes, he was dressed as a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, and among these people, they were all scholars who had passed the imperial examinations.
"That guy is nothing but cannon fodder. Do you really think a mere scholar can find the wonders of heaven and earth? Don't be delusional. If his father weren't a second-rank official in the imperial court, I wouldn't have bothered bringing him to the Holy Road. He's not only a burden, but also incredibly stupid."
Another scholar from Jin shrugged and said dismissively.
"Wait a minute."
A young man leaning against a tree trunk said in a deep voice.
"rustle……"
At that moment, some sounds suddenly came from the distant woods, and then a blood-covered figure shot out from the woods and fell straight down.
"Fang Shan? How did he get beaten up like this? Qi Ling, save him."
The scarred youth who was in the lead raised his head and said.
Qi Ling nodded and then began to read the medical book. Beams of green light began to shoot out from the medical book and finally entered Fang Shan's body.
"call."
After a while, Fang Shan woke up, and when he saw Qi Ling and the others, his expression relaxed.
"We've found a wondrous spirit of heaven and earth, but... cough cough."
"But what's wrong?"
"Let him rest for a while before talking."
"The scarred young man at the head of the group said in a deep voice."
"However, Ye Ru took away this wondrous spirit of heaven and earth."
"Ye Ru? Could it be Ye Ru, who has recently risen to fame in the Yanhuang Kingdom?"
Qi Ling's expression changed, and she said.
"What? You know?"
The scarred youth glanced at Qi Ling and said.
"Not only that, he was the one who put forward the famous ten essentials of medicine. Moreover, back in the Hua family, he even summoned Hua Sheng by using the ten essentials of medicine and taught the Hua family the Five Animal Exercises and the real 'Qing Nang Shu'. The instigator of this matter was Ye Ru. Back then, this matter caused quite a stir in the various Hua families. I never expected that he would also come to this sacred road."
Qi Ling pondered for a moment, then continued.
"No matter who he is, if he stole the rare spirit of heaven and earth, he has to hand it over obediently."
However, a cold look appeared on the scarred man's face, and his hand quietly slid down his neck.
……
"This little girl... doesn't know how far we still have to go."
In the dense forest, two figures walked one after the other. Ye Ru would occasionally stop, look up and gaze ahead, but would immediately follow.
He knew the other party was a rare spirit of heaven and earth, but he never thought of using the other party. He only wanted to ask the other party to help him find the ancient palace. Only by finding the ancient palace could he avoid the attacks of some ferocious beasts.
"There's still a long way to go, but we're about to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, so be careful."
The little girl looked around warily, then turned to Ye Ru and said in a deep voice. It was clear that she had become much more serious since arriving here.
"Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
Ye Ru raised an eyebrow and said.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is home to many wild beasts, all of which carry deadly toxins. Anyone below the rank of Juren who comes into contact with even a little bit of them will immediately die from the poison. It is said that after the death of a powerful demon, his blood was absorbed by these demon beasts, which is why he became like this."
The wondrous spirits of heaven and earth slowly explained to Ye Ru.
"It might be that demon saint... Only the blood of a demon saint could mutate like this."
"Young lady, why don't you tell me how to get there, and then leave? In case I can't protect you..."
"I believe you, little brother."
The wondrous spirit of heaven and earth suddenly laughed, its large eyes fixed on Ye Ru, and said with considerable hope:
"I don't know why, but there's a scent about you that I find very comforting."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru scratched his head awkwardly. Could it be some kind of righteous spirit?
"Then let's go..."
"Hand over the wondrous spirits of heaven and earth before you leave."
Before Ye Ru could finish speaking, a faint voice rang out, followed by several whooshing sounds.
"The people of Jin are really troublesome. Are you all as persistent as dog skin plasters?"
Sensing several powerful energies locking onto him, Ye Ru rubbed his hair, looked in a certain direction, and a murderous intent surged in his eyes.
After all, the State of Jin and the State of Yanhuang were sworn enemies, so Ye Ru had no reason to be polite to them.
"Step back a bit for a moment, leave this to me, understand? I won't let these people hurt you."
Immediately afterward, Ye Ru noticed the panic on Tiandi Qiling's face, patted the other's head, and said softly.
Upon hearing this, the wondrous spirit of heaven and earth slowly retreated, eventually settling beside a rock.
"You must be Ye Ru."
The scarred young man named Zhuang Xian looked Ye Ru up and down and asked a question.
"It is I. May I ask what brings you here?"
Ye Ru said indifferently.
"I don't have anything important to discuss, but I would like to ask you to hand over that wondrous spirit of heaven and earth to me. What do you say?"
Zhuang Xian held a folding fan in his hand, but this demeanor did not match the scar on his face.
"And if I don't? What will you do then? Are all the people of Jin so shameless?"
Ye Ru's lips curled into a mocking smile.
“This is the Holy Road. Even if one or two people die here, no one outside will notice, right?”
Sensing the threat in Zhuang Xian's words, Ye Ru lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before raising his head. His words then caused the faces of Zhuang Xian and the others to darken completely:
"Then come on."
