Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 164 Netherworld Valley

-

As dawn breaks, the water is shrouded in mist.

Rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist, cutting through the sky like sharp swords and illuminating the entire Crescent Island.

On a tall tree growing in a steep ravine, Guan Xun lay leisurely on a branch, watching the slowly rising sun, and took a bite of the fruit in her hand.

Chi Rong's body was tightly wrapped around the small tree branch above him, hanging upside down.

"This place is really nice." Feeling the warm light, it swayed its body a few times. "But... Master, everyone says that the energy fluctuation of that elixir is very strong, but why can't I feel anything?"

Guan Xun rolled his eyes and glanced at it: "Since it's a sealed item, it must be stored in a sealed place. The situation in the clan is still unstable. Otherwise, would you wait for someone else to steal it?"

Chi Rong suddenly realized: "That makes sense."

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from below the peak.

After stuffing the remaining fruit into his mouth, Guan Xun leaned over to look down.

Lin Miao was looking around: "Guan Xun?"

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face showing signs of fatigue. She had searched almost the entire Crescent Island, but couldn't find anyone.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, she suddenly felt something approaching from above and a shadow looming over her. She was startled and quickly looked up.

Then they saw Guan Xun standing on the mountain rock.

"what happened?"

Lin Miao's eyes lit up: "Finally found you! I haven't even had a chance to thank you yet. The matter with the right wing has been settled, and the Fifth Elder has been..."

She seemed very excited, chattering away.

Guan Xun's brow twitched slightly. She had no interest in what was happening on the island. She coughed lightly and interrupted directly, "When will Clan Chief Lin deliver the promised elixir?"

Lin Miaowei was slightly taken aback: "Are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"No." Guan Xun shook his head.

"Oh... that's exactly what I came to talk to you about. My father has already made preparations and asked me to call you over."

"Let's go then." Guan Xun immediately jumped down from the cliff and took the lead.

After seeing this, Lin Miao hurriedly followed.

Thinking of the elixir, a serious expression crept onto her face: "Guan Xun, do you really want that elixir? Aren't you going to consider something else?"

Seeing that the person in front of her was still walking and had no reaction, she couldn't help but say a few more words: "The energy of the elixir is extremely domineering. My father once said that when it was used to assist in cultivation, he would keep his distance. But even so, the disciples in the clan were still affected by it."

“If you take it, you will have to touch it, and I am afraid it will hurt someone.”

Guan Xun chuckled and curled his lips. Hurt her? Ridiculous. What could be more powerful than her Undying Flame?

She can now freely combine all four attributes, and that power would make even a level 80 or higher expert tremble.

A miraculous elixir that makes people tremble with fear...

She wanted to see what he was capable of.

……

Guan Xun had been curious beforehand, since the island was clearly in a better location on the mountainous side, so why were the clan leaders and the others willing to stay in the low-lying area?

Now it seems that the elixir was hidden among the hills in the low-lying area.

When they arrived, a large group of people had been waiting there for a long time. Noticing the commotion, they all turned to look in their direction.

Chief Lin stood with his hands behind his back, gazing between the two hills, and let out a long sigh.

Guan Xun looked in that direction and saw only emptiness; there was nothing there.

“Miss, you must have already learned something about the elixir from Miao’er.” The Lin clan chief’s eyes turned solemn as he said in a deep voice, “Although it is a reward given to you, you will have to take it yourself if you want to keep it.”

"Is it perhaps shy around strangers?" Guan Xun sneered.

"Well, to be precise, it's difficult for anyone to get close to it. Its energy ripples can disrupt the spiritual power of a spirit master, thus burning the human body." The Lin clan chief pursed his lips, and his hands behind his back slowly clenched.

"Back then, the three ancestors were all close to level 90, but in order to seal it, they were still severely injured and soon perished. That is why our clan has held the seal to the death."

"Father, are these two hills where the seal is located?" Lin Miao asked in surprise.

"No, it is sealed in the Netherworld Abyss, which is suspended in the void."

These words startled Guan Xun. It seemed that this elixir was even stranger than she had imagined, and it actually needed to be sealed in the void...

Furthermore, even three level 90 powerhouses couldn't defeat it...

The more she thought about it, the more serious and uneasy she became.

"Miss, after I open the passage, only you are allowed to enter. If you sense anything amiss, please come out immediately."

"The entrance to the passage will only be open when my spiritual power is continuously transmitted. If I become tired and the transmission of spiritual power is interrupted, the passage will close."

"To reopen it, you can only wait until your body is fully recovered, so remember, don't delay."

Chief Lin's face was grave, and his eyes revealed an unprecedented tension. He did not believe that Guan Xun could withstand the energy ripples of the elixir. No matter how powerful he was, he was just a superficial person who had only been involved in the matter and could never compare with the three ancestors.

Despite repeated admonitions, he remained determined to obtain the elixir, leaving him helpless and only able to offer reminders as best he could.

She was a benefactor to her clan, and no one wanted to see her perish here.

Lin Miao, who was listening nearby, was terrified, and her face showed deep worry.

Guan Xun was indeed somewhat unsettled. She turned her head and whispered, "Chi Rong, you stay outside. When the clan leader can't hold on any longer, secure the entrance to the passage for me."

"I understand." Chi Rong nodded seriously, and under everyone's gaze, he darted away and landed beside the hill.

Everyone didn't know why.

"Open the passage." Ignoring the suspicions of those around him, Guan Xun took a few steps forward and stood side by side with the Lin clan chief.

"Hmm." Clan Chief Lin nodded emphatically, signaling everyone behind him to move away.

Immediately, he flipped his hands over, channeled his spiritual energy, and pushed forward forcefully!

A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his palm, swirling back and forth among the hills to form a massive vortex.

As he chanted a series of unsealing incantations, the whirlwind suddenly tore open a gash in the middle.

"Miss Guan, come in!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Guan Xun had already set off towards the dark entrance before his shout had even finished!

Seeing what was happening, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill.

Meanwhile, inside the entrance.

In the dark, boundless void, floats a piece of land several feet wide, with countless cracks on it as if it had been cleaved open.

Guan Xun stepped onto the uneven ground, and dark flames suddenly shot out from his fingertips, which he then forcefully flung forward.

Countless flames danced across the earth, illuminating the surrounding area.

The soil and rocks were black, the water was murky, and there was no sign of life; it was utterly desolate.

All that remains is emptiness and loneliness.

This is the Netherworld Ravine.
