:]

Tan Yueqing also because he had seen enough, felt disgust towards the people of Evil Spirit Valley, his heart turned cold and gray, he didn't even want to save this group of corrupted evildoers.

Jiang Yue quickly packed her things and followed Lin Qi to the inner valley.

During that time, I also received a message from Fengze saying that he had taken in another cultivator. According to the description, he was apparently also a disciple of Tianyizong.

However, since the two were already on their way, they didn't turn back.

"If Senior Sister Jiang enters the Inner Valley, it's best to first cultivate for a period of time, until her strength increases before doing anything else."

"The outskirts are overrun with scoundrels, but the inner regions are ruled by the strong. All rules are made by those with power."

>“This is the most chaotic place.”

"The weak overcoming the strong, and the lower ranks surpassing the higher ones is very common. Whether it's through scheming and trickery, or with swords and axes, as long as you can defeat the strong, you yourself can become strong."

Lin Qi walked while explaining to Jiang Yue.

She has made an appointment with Tan Yueqing to meet at the edge of Neng Valley.

As soon as I arrived at the edge of Neigu, I smelled a strong, pungent odor of blood.

Smelling blood on the edge of the Valley of Evil wasn't new, but the intensity of the smell was. It meant a lot of people must have died here.

Lin Qi thought of Tan Yueqing and rushed towards her.

But then he saw Dan Yueqing standing calmly under a tree, wiping the blood off his sword with a handkerchief.

"What's going on?" Lin Qi asked first.

Tan Yueqing pointed to a distance, "A disciple of Bihai Pavilion is dead."

"What?!"

Ginger was taken aback, rushing over to check the situation first.

In a moment, her face turned serious as she looked up. "She's gone. The life-saving leaf that she carried in came crushed..."

Lin Qi looked at Tan Yueqing.

Tan Yueqing's expression was cold. "When a leaf is crushed, there's no fluctuation of spatial energy at all."

Lin Qi's expression also became serious. "This means the assessment really went wrong!"

Before it was just speculation, but now it's been completely confirmed.

The life-saving leaves are for disciples to renounce and leave. If a disciple senses danger to their life and wants to withdraw, they can crush the leaf, and they will be teleported away.

This included a chance for Lin Qi and others to save their lives, and it remained in the leaves.

If even the life-saving leaves can't send the disciples away, it means the connection between the outside world and the North and South Heavenly Palaces has been severed.

"Tan Yue Qing Leng reminded, "Also, this means that the disciples participating in the assessment will die!"

When they first arrived, everyone came with a competitive mindset.

It's best to win, but it's not the end of the world if you lose.

Who would have thought there was danger to life?

If you go into the Evil Person's Valley with a different mindset, the dangers you encounter will be worlds apart.

"You were right before, when I'm healed, let's go to the Po Jun Territory together and give it a try."

Dan Yue's brows were furrowed, her gaze deep. "At the very least, we have to try first. Only then will we know if there's even a sliver of hope left."

"I agree."

Lin Qi nodded slightly and walked forward to look at the disciple of Bihai Pavilion.

Tan Yueqing trailed behind, explaining softly: "She had already left when I arrived. I heard that she was tricked by the innkeeper and injured, so she ran away."

That innkeeper was even more skilled than Ge Yun. He had also come from Neigu, and still had a group of strong and healthy slaves at his disposal. He led them in pursuit all the way.

The cultivators of Bihai Pavilion had just arrived and hadn't regained their cultivation. They weren't prepared enough and were no match for the other party at all.

When I arrived, she was on her last breath. She crushed the jade pendant but couldn't leave. She died with resentment, staring at me. I avenged her death.

During this time, Tan Yueqing had been frantically cultivating in Neigu. Her cultivation level had recovered somewhat, and dealing with a few people without spiritual energy was simple enough.

"These people were killed by you?"

Ginger glanced at the men who had been slashed in the throat.

Tan Yueqing nodded silently.

Lin Qi: "Find a place to bury the person, at least we came in together."

"...nor could he bear to see her left to rot in the wilderness."

Three people dug a hole at random, and according to the jade pendant, they found the names and erected a wooden sign for the cultivators of Bihai Pavilion.

Let's wait until after the people from Bi Hai Pavilion can find a place to collect the corpses.

After going through this ordeal, Ginger Moon truly felt the danger of the Valley of Evil.

As soon as the three stepped into the territory of Pojun, hundreds of wooden swords made of fragrant mountain wood native to the Valley of Villains shot out from the dense forest.

A rustling sound carried a thick sense of murderous intent.

Lin Qi's guess came true.

Someone took advantage of her absence to burglarize her home and set an ambush for her on the road.

Lin Qi pulled out his sword and said, "You two go to the back first. I'll go get a head!"

Tanyu Qing said nothing, pulling Jiang Yue aside to dodge.

Lin Qi, taking advantage of her cultivation, wasn't much restricted in terms of strength within the Evil People Valley. She was unlike the other two.

At this time, it is the wisest choice to avoid dragging Lin Qi down.

"Catch the thief, catch the king first. Lin Qi charged ahead with momentum, leaving trails of swords and blades, silver flashing, painting a path of blood."

After about half an hour, Tan Yueqing and Jiang Yue were respectfully led back by a group of slaves.

I saw Lin Qi, covered in blood, on the battlefield.

She sat impassively on the chair, a symbol of status.

A woman in purple lay on the ground, a sword familiar to Lin Qi's signature style of slaying gods protruding from her body. Blood seeped into the earth, leaving her fate unknown.

Upon seeing the person's identity, Tan Yue narrowed her eyes.

"Go Yun?!"

She looked up at Lin Qi, "Was it her who seized the throne while you were away?"

Lin Qi nodded and followed up by asking the kneeling slave beside him: "Where is Chenglin?"

"Reporting, my lord. Mr. Cheng was chopped into both legs and thrown into the Nanzhao Pond to be fed to the beasts."

Lin Qimei frowned slightly, "Bring the person here first."

"Yes!"

Only after everyone else had left did Lin Qi ask Cheng Lin what he had done wrong to provoke Ge Yun.

She instinctively felt that Ge Yun was taking advantage of her absence to steal from Jia and Cheng Lin.

Lin Qi never expected to receive Lin Cheng's loyalty, so she would be very calm about it, even finding some amusement in watching the drama unfold.

Immediately, flattering people stepped forward and told Lin Qi about the ins and outs of the situation.

After Lin Qiyue left, the slave Zhang Han attempted to usurp the throne, but was stopped by Chenglin and Ge Yun.

Two people also wanted to be the new general of the Breaking Army, but it seemed they couldn't agree on the distribution of benefits, and in the end, they drew their swords against each other.

Go Yun had already bought a lot of slaves, her strength suddenly recovered, and she defeated Cheng Lin at the crucial moment.

Originally, Ge Yun was going to kill Cheng Lin to eliminate the future threat. However, for some unknown reason, he didn't strike the killing blow and instead chopped off Cheng Lin's legs and banished him to Nan Zhao Chi to be fed to the beasts.

The wild beasts in Nan Zhao Chi are ferocious. Cheng Lin, this is not feeding beasts, but to feed them with one's own body.

Although Ge Yun didn't directly kill Cheng Lin, this arrangement was tantamount to cutting off Cheng Lin's retreat.

Only Ge Yun didn't expect himself to lose so quickly.

"How will the adults dispose of this traitor, Go Yun?!"

Lin Qi raised her head and looked at the person who was asking, "Who has colluded with Ge Yun?"

Immediately, people started reporting each other.

In the Evil Valley, betraying those around you is basic operating procedure. Lin Qi doesn't even need to bother with temptation.

Soon, more than ten people were identified.
