Lu Li came to this place and looked up at the sky, only to see it suddenly cut down to a single sliver of light, like a pale crack embedded high above.
The twin peaks stood steep and opposing, oppressively crushing every broad, level view before them. Looking up at their summits, the rock walls resembled grotesque faces hanging overhead. Countless deep cracks crisscrossed their surfaces, spreading into strange, intricate patterns like heavenly scriptures formed by nature itself.

From time to time, rocks broke free and tumbled down, violently colliding with one another as they smashed through the wind and mist. Their sharp cries suddenly tore through the deep valley's deathly silence.

"Legend says this place was created by two peerless experts fighting. The valley contains unique Dao Principles that not only block one's senses, but also restrict flight. Only True Self Realm experts can cross it."
Lu Xueqing said, "This is an excellent place for an ambush, and it serves as the boundary between Martial God Mountain's territory and the outside world. Once we enter the canyon, we'll have left Martial God Mountain."

Lu Xueqing did not get angry. "You know that's not what I mean. I'm asking why you insist on coming here when you know something is wrong."
Earlier, they had failed to locate the mastermind using Lu Li's origin
