A Different Way to Play
"Young Master Su, that Demon Envoy... his strength is probably extraordinary. Moreover, they know our whereabouts perfectly well, and they will definitely be prepared when we go to the Myriad Soul Valley," Yuan Chou said in a deep voice.
"I know," Su Zhan nodded. "So, this time we can't just charge straight in like before."
"We need to change our approach."
Yuan Chou was taken aback. "How about we change the game?"
A strange smile appeared on Su Zhan's lips.
"Don't they like to play dirty tricks and set traps?"
"Then let's play along and have some fun."
"More cunning than them, more ruthless than their traps."
Looking at Su Zhan's smile, Yuan Chou suddenly felt a chill for some reason.
He had a premonition that the Black Demon Sect was in big trouble.
The one-hour rest period passed quickly.
The team regrouped.
Everyone has returned to their peak condition.
Especially the disciples of the main lineage, with an ample supply of elixirs, not only recovered from their injuries, but also had a completely renewed appearance.
The way they looked at Su Zhan had changed from initial fear to a fervent trust.
"Set off!"
At Su Zhan's command, the massive army marched headed towards the Myriad Soul Valley.
The Myriad Soul Valley is located in the northwest of the Secret Realm, hundreds of miles away from the Ghostly Swamp.
The further northwest we went, the more desolate the surrounding environment became.
The once lush forests have gradually been replaced by barren mountains and deserts.
A faint, deathly aura began to permeate the air, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Not a single bird could be seen in the sky.
The entire world was deathly silent, except for the soft rustling of footsteps on the gravel as the procession moved forward.
"Young Master Su, the 'Rocky Slope' is just ahead. After passing the Rocky Slope, walk for about thirty li, and you'll reach the territory of the Myriad Soul Valley."
Elder Yuan Ji followed Su Zhan closely, dutifully explaining the terrain.
"This Rocky Slope has a complex terrain, full of jagged rocks, making it easy to get lost. Moreover, it is inhabited by a Demon Beast called the 'Stone-Skinned Demon,' which is adept at disguising itself as a stone to ambush, making it extremely troublesome."
Elder Yuan Ji's face still showed a hint of worry when he said this.
In the past, their main force had to be on high alert every time they passed through this area, and even so, casualties were inevitable.
However, Su Zhan simply gave a faint "hmm" without any change in expression.
In his mind, the Cultivation Method Chat Group was broadcasting real-time traffic updates.
[Shadow Thousand Silk Lock]: Boss, 700 meters to the left, under a big rock, there's one hidden. 1200 meters to the right, under three rocks stacked together, that's another one. Oh, and right in front of us, 50 meters below our feet, there's a big guy buried there, with a strong aura.
[Blazing Dragon Venerate]: Any good food? Boss, let me roast them all! Perfect for stretching my muscles!
[Nine Heavens Divine Lightning]: Do I need you? Boss, I can just send a little lightning bolt down and I guarantee they'll be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, even better than you roast them.
[Immovable Wisdom King Wall]: Everyone be quiet. Listen to the leader's instructions.
Su Zhan didn't need to use his eyes at all; all the hidden dangers around him were clearly presented in his mind from a God's-eye view.
He glanced at the group following behind him.
The procession stretched for nearly a mile.
Everyone cautiously and vigilantly observed their surroundings, fearing that a Monster might jump out from some crack in the rocks.
