Chapter 854: Blood-Soaked Mountain

Lan Yingying and Feng Yuxiang also went to the east side of the city after searching their area with no results.

”Did you guys find anything special? My side was empty.” Yuan asked them.

”Nothing, but Iʼm not surprised. This place hasnʼt been visited by anyone beside the demons for millions of years. Iʼd be shocked if anything but spiritual treasures lasted that long.”

”Then letʼs take a quick look at this last area before we leave this place.” Yuan said, and they began walking through the east side of the city.

After walking for about ten minutes, Feng Yuxiang suddenly stopped and frowned.

”Whatʼs the matter, Feng Feng? Did you find something?” Yuan asked her.

”Not something. Someone. Although faint, I can sense a presence up ahead.”

”Someone? Who could it be? I donʼt smell any demons.” Yuan said.

”I think itʼs a human cultivator.”

Yuan frowned and said, ”Letʼs go!”

Feng Yuxiang nodded and picked up her pace, leading the others to this unknown presence.

Once they were close enough to see the person behind this presence with their divine sense, they stopped to analyze the situation.

”A human cultivator. He doesnʼt seem to be conscious. But whatʼs he doing down here?” Feng Yuxiang said.

”Do you think this person could be that womanʼs missing son? Maybe the demons captured him and brought him here.” Yuan speculated.

”Thatʼs possible, but we wonʼt know for sure until we speak with him. Please wait here while I make sure it isnʼt a trap, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang said.

Yuan nodded and allowed Feng Yuxiang to go first.

Sometime later, Feng Yuxiang approached this man and nudged him with her feet, almost like she was seeing if he was a corpse.

”Hey, wake up.”

”Ugh... My head hurts like hell...” The man muttered in a low voice as he sat up and looked at his surroundings.

”Where am I? Who are you?” The man asked Feng Yuxiang a moment later.

”Youʼre currently underground, beneath the Demonsʼ Valley. How did you get here? And who are you?”

”Demonsʼ Valley...?” The man looked puzzled for a moment before snapping out of his daze and jumping to his feet.

”Thatʼs right! I remember now! I came to the Demonsʼ Valley with my friends, but just as we were leaving, this group of demons appeared out of the blue and captured us! They ate my friends and even forced me to watch! What happened to the demons?!” The man began panicking after recalling his memories.

”I see... So youʼre really that womanʼs missing son. Anyways, we have already dealt with the demons. You donʼt need to worry about it anymore.”

”You dealt with the demons...?” The man stared at her with a dazed face.

”Not me. My Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang said.

”Follow me.”

Sometime later, Feng Yuxiang returned to Yuan with the man.

”Young Master, this person really turned out to be that womanʼs missing son. According to him, he was captured by the demons.” Feng Yuxiang explained the situation to Yuan.

”Wait... You know my mother?”

Yuan nodded and said, ”Yes, we met her on the way here. She was worried sick that you didnʼt return home in time and stood in front of the Demonsʼ Valley. We agreed to help her find you after hearing her story.”

”I see... Thank you very much for coming here and saving my life. I wouldʼve been food for those demons if youʼd arrived any later. I donʼt even want to imagine my mother grieving over my death...” The man sighed.

”I wish I can repay this debt, but I have nothing on me.”

”Donʼt worry about it. We didnʼt do this for any reward.” Yuan shook his head.

”Still, I canʼt just leave without giving you anything...”

The man pondered for a moment before speaking, ”Oh! I know!”

”Although I cannot give you anything of value, I can lead you to something of value! You see, after being captured by the demons, I overheard them talking about a treasure thatʼd recently appeared inside the Blood-Soaked Mountain! I donʼt know what kind of treasure it is, but they seemed very excited about it.”

”A treasure within Blood-Soaked Mountain, huh...” Yuan mumbled in a pondering voice.

”Where is this Blood-Soaked Mountain?” Feng Yuxiang asked.

”Iʼm not really sure, but itʼs within the Demonsʼ Valley.” The man said.

”I know where it is.” Yuan suddenly said. ”Itʼs a little far from here, but itʼs not too bad if we fly straight there.”

”If you donʼt mind, I would like to return to my mother now.” The man asked them a moment later.

Yuan nodded, ”Go ahead. The exit is over there.”

”Once again, thank you for saving my life and sparing my mother from grief.” The man bowed to them before leaving.

”Are you sure about this, Young Master? There are still many unanswered questions about his situation and his mother...” Feng Yuxiang asked him after the man left.

”Itʼs fine. I doubt we really need to know these answers, anyway.”

”If you say so.”

Ding!
