Chapter 92: Blue Mist Valley!

"Wait patiently for us. I assure you, we'll return with the materials you need before sunset."

Xie Yang confidently threw out a sentence that calmed the nerves of the blacksmith before turning around and walking out of the smithy.

Chen Wei Qi exhaled a breath of partial relief before saying, "I will wait for you to return with good news."

"Be at ease, for the chance of us failing this task is non-existence."

After saying that, Xie Ye, who was following behind his young master, activated an elemental spell to lessen their presence. Not just that, their figures also started blurring.

'I wish these people would succeed in stealing a part of its body and do as they promised me."

Chen Wei Qi wished them well not because he had suddenly become a good man but because they were his best bet on escaping the wrath of the Duan Family unfavored young miss and turning over a new leaf to become a person who would not touch gambling or alcohol and live a humble and honest life.

Chen Wei Qi's gaze remained on their back as they walked away from him.

With each step they took, their figures blurred a little until finally, they vanished from his field of vision.

Blue Moon City… the emperor named this city as such because of the Blue Mist Spiritual Valley. It was a battlefield in the great war that the empire's brave soldiers and members of the pillars supporting it fought against the invaders from the north.

The valley was under the jurisdiction of the City covered by Clouds and the Black Unicorn Sect at the time of the war. The invaders entered the valley because if they go south from here and pass through the mountains and river, they will reach the lofty & Beautiful capital of the empire.

Of course, that greedy move became the greatest mistake of their life as the Cloud Lord and his army and the Patriarch of the black unicorn sect trapped them in a formation and killed all of them. They allowed not even a single outsider to escape alive from the blue mist valley.

After the war, under the advice of the right minister and the state officials, the emperor allowed Blue Moon City to enjoy this piece of meat too. The Lord of Clouds and Patriarch of the Black Unicorn Sect were obviously displeased, but they didn't kick up a miss and accepted the emperor's decree silently.

Their battle left many scars and side effects on this valley. If a person were to look at the sky at night after entering this place, they would see a blue moon. It wasn't because of some magic spell but because the density of spiritual energy in this place was so great that it created a natural phenomenon.

On top of that, the deeper a person goes inside this forest, the higher the chance that they will encounter a spirit that has escaped from the spirit realm or an entity possessed by one or a group of them. The reason behind it was that many tiny and big gateways connecting the mortal realm to the spirit realm opened in this place after the grand battle that had taken place here, and spirits started using them to escape their home and enter the valley.

The Blue Mist Valley wasn't a prohibited place, but natives avoided it as spirits were haunting it.

Meanwhile, explorers and other cultivators dared only to explore its outskirts, for they knew that death was all that awaited them if they went any deeper.

"This thought dissipating smell can only belong to the flower of death, a spiritual herb that can unclog spiritual meridians."

The wonderful scent of a spiritual herb entered Xie Yang's nostrils as he took a breath. He had promised Xie Ye that he would stick close to him so that it would be easy for him to protect him from danger; However, at this moment, enticed by the smell of the herb, Xie Yang subconsciously forgot everything about his promise with Xie Ye mind and without as much as a word, went on to pick it up.

He had only taken fifteen steps towards the source of the smell when he felt the ground beneath him vibrating. He realized the severity of the situation and immediately pulled out his sword. By that time, multiple monsters in human skin hadn't only jumped out of the spot a step behind him but also pounced towards him. Xie Yang turned around and brandished his sword towards them.

Ding, ding, ding!

Sword Rays burst out of the body of his sword and struck the four ghouls, but except for blasting them away from Xie Yang by several steps, they did nothing else.

"What?!" Xie Yang set his gaze on those who sneaked attack and saw that they appeared similar to humans with disheveled appearances.

He meant to say that they weren't humans!

They were once still corpses of the invaders who had died under his father's blade; However, now possessed by evil spirits, they were walking zombies preying on humans!

After looking at them, Xie Yang thought, "I guess I have no choice but to make a run for it."

Xie Yang couldn't take them on by myself because the ghouls were lizard-men with thick skins and scales all over this body. No matter how sharp an attack he lands on them, because of his low cultivation base, he couldn't cut them, and vanquishing the spirit possessing them with his current capabilities was out of the question.

He tried to run away, but three more appeared behind him and blocked his way.

"You creatures overestimate yourself! This young master doesn't lack a way to teach you lots a lesson."

Xie Yang felt slightly frustrated after seeing them surrounding him, and he took out a few offensive talismans to teach them that he could still sweep the ground with them. But just as he was about to launch the talisman towards them, tens of thousands of black petals carried by the wind separated him from them.

While surrounding him in a defensive manner, they began pummeling the ghouls to death.

Xie Yang could feel that they meant him no harm, so he lowered his guard and gazed at the creatures targeted by them.

The sharpness of the petals dumbfounded Xie Yang.

They were so fierce that they shattered the scales on their bodies before tearing them apart into pieces in merely a couple of seconds.

Once the pieces of their body fell to the ground, their lips parted open and black mist swirled up the air from their mouth.

"Don't even think about it."

The evil spirits controlling the corpses were thinking of sneaking away as the big boss has shown itself, but black winds smashed on their misty bodies, and then they were no more.

The black petals surrounding Xie Yang assembled into Xie Ye!

"There is a lot of powerful spirits in this place, but as long as you stick close to me, they won't mark you as their prey." Xie Ye showed a helpless face to Xie Yang as he said, "So please stop wandering off on your own and inviting trouble, young master."

He really wanted to ask the others whether he was suicidal or outright crazy!

It wasn't entirely Xie Yang's fault.

His emotions got the best of him!

In the face of acquiring a spiritual herb with a strong and familiar sweet scent that was most likely the cure to his wife's disability, he couldn't help but stray away from the terms he agreed to before entering the valley and hurry to pick it up.

"This time, I admit it's my fault. Greed got the best of me, and I failed to control my feet."

While admitting his fault, Xie Yang tapped his nose in slight embarrassment.

"From now onwards, be more careful."

Xie Yang knew that Xie Ye was saying that for his own good, so he took his words with a smile.

"Anyway, why did you come this way in such a hurry?" Xie Ye questioned.

"You can't smell it?"

The sweet smell in the air was super thick, so Xie Ye, unable to smell it, bewildered Xie Yang.

"Smell what?"

Xie Ye raised his finger to his lips in slight confusion before he looked towards Xie Yang and hurriedly said, "My illness due to which I temporarily lose my sense of smell must be acting up again."

What kind of illness was it?

Moreover, how bad was it that it affected a spirit grandmaster?!

Xie Yang didn't think too much about it as his main priority was securing the Flower of Death to cure his wife.

He explained, "There is a thick and sweet in the air as if there are layers of honey floating around us. Legend says that this sort of smell belongs to a mythical fruit that grows only on war-torn land where the density of spiritual energy is high, the death energy is equally high, and the passage to the spirit realm isn't less in numbers. It is full of nourishing energy, and consuming it can benefit cultivators greatly. I want to get it. Spirits can not smell the strong scent, but normal humans and beasts can. Its smell can cause nearby monsters to go crazy! So let's advance with caution."

While trying to obtain it can be dangerous for them, Xie Yang had no intention of giving up on the cure for his wife.

He was going to head there no matter what.

"I will take the lead. You can direct me."

Xie Ye expressed his intention to help him obtain the flower of death.

Xie Yang said, "Alright."
