A Chance to Turn Things Around, Within Deathwish Valley, the Divine Bird Is Startled Again, Ranran Watches the Fight

The four who arrived were Zhao Zairan, Taishu Chunfeng, Su Susu, Su Tiexin. All of them were of distinguished appearance, dressed in luxurious clothes, and their horses' hooves smelled sweet.

Zhao Ranran wore a purple silk dress and rode a "White Willow Strange Horse." Her long hair cascaded down her back, adorned with a jade hairpin with a white pearl hanging from its end, swaying gently and gracefully. Her face was veiled in mist, giving her an air of mystery and aloofness.

It was past dawn, just past Chen Hour. The early sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow. Zhao Ranran felt as if she were bathed in divine light. The light shone on her, and she lingered there, captivated by its Radiant Flowing Light, which added to her allure. She rode in on horseback, leaving a trail of fragrance that drew people in.

Taishu Chunfeng rode alongside him, wearing a golden Qilin with a qilin on his head and a gilded outfit. He had thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, and a slightly square face, making him quite handsome. He was tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his eyes were disdainful. He stood tall and broad-shouldered, his chest out and back broad, making him awe-inspiring. Riding alongside the Jade Maiden Zhao Ran again, he was still no less impressive than the "Golden Boy".

The Jade Maiden is said to have the responsibility of saving the world, while the Golden Boy is often destined to shake the world and dominate. Both possess both strength and gentleness, and strive to save all living beings. The two young prodigies walked along the mountain path and crossed the mountain mist, and even the mountains seemed bright, the wind refreshing, the grass swaying, and the clouds jubilant.

Everything appears even more vibrant.

Su Tiexin and Su Susu of the Jade City Su Clan are also outstanding members of the clan. However, Jade City is a place where the clan members are strong, but their reputation is not well-known. They are unknown to the outside world.

Su Susu, dressed in a bright red floral dress, possessed a unique charm despite being beside Zhao Zaizai. She cupped her hands in praise, saying, "Sister Zhao, I've heard all about your deeds. As Jade Maiden newcomer to the world, you rid it of a great scourge, uprooting the wicked Water Altar. It's truly gratifying!"

She argued vehemently, "Women like us, no matter how high our status or how strong our strength, can't help but feel wary of the Flower Cage Sect when roaming the martial world. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. The Flower Thief, knowing their own weakness, resort to sneak attacks, which is utterly despicable. When I heard you wipe out the Flower Thief and severely punish the villains, I only regretted not being able to participate. What a pity, what a pity."

Zhao Ranran smiled and said, "This matter is over, it's not worth mentioning."

Su Tiexin, dressed in a silver, close-fitting outfit, his clothes damp with sweat, had a longbow and spear beside his saddle. He must have been practicing martial arts early that morning, without slacking off. He gazed into the distance, pointing to a bird flying in the clouds, and said, "Is that the Pure Jade Divine Bird?"

When it spreads its wings and takes flight, its feathers shimmer with nine colors, truly—exquisitely beautiful.

Zhao Ranran nodded and said, "Not bad." With a gentle wave of her hand, the Pure Jade Divine Bird soared low in the air, circling around the group. It twirled and leaped, rising and falling with great joy.

Su Susu said, "Among divine pets like this, the only one in Jade City that can compare is that divine crane."

Taishu Chunfeng said, "Is what Sister Susu is referring to that Everliving Crane? I've heard a little about it, but I haven't been able to find out more."

Su Susu said, "Of course."

Su Tiexin said, "It is said that those who are favored by the Pure Jade Divine Bird are blessed by Heaven. And those who are recognized as masters by the Everliving Crane Everliving Crane will be able to live for two hundred years, even if they are just ordinary people. We martial artists—will live even longer!"

Taishu Chunfeng said, "In my opinion, if one is mediocre, even if one lives for a thousand or ten thousand years, one will still be mediocre. What is the point of enduring the years without ever seeing the view from the summit? The ancients said that one can attain enlightenment in the morning and die content in the evening; this is the same principle."

Su Susu and Su Tiexin smiled without saying a word. Taishu Chunfeng boomed across the fields, full of vigor, demonstrating his remarkable spirit.

Zhao Ranran nodded slightly, agreeing with the statement.

Taishu Chunfeng suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I am quite curious about this thing. I wonder if there will be a chance to see it?" Su Tiexin said, "Brother Ji, Jade City loves and respects cranes. All cranes are born with Mud Body ' and their status is several levels higher than that of ordinary people. The immortal crane is even more so—it is absolutely inappropriate to call it 'this thing.' It should be addressed with a respectful title."

Zhao Ranran understood and said, "Although Little Pure is my pet, it is like a close friend to me. If others insult or belittle it..."

"I can get angry too."

Taishu Chunfeng laughed heartily, then bowed apologetically, saying, "My words were biased." Su Tiexin smiled and said, "Haha, I hope Brother Ji won't take offense."

Su Susu said, "The Crane Lord dwells deep within Jade City; it is difficult for anyone to see him." Taishu Chunfeng asked, "Does he have an owner?"

Su Susu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's not talk about this behind your backs. Yes, Sister Zhao, Brother Ji, I haven't asked before. I'm curious, what brought you here?"

Zhao Zairan and Taishu Chunfeng exchanged a glance. Meanwhile, Zhao Zaizai shattered the Water Altar and returned home. Having achieved a great victory, her fame spread far and wide, announcing to the world that the Jade Maiden had entered the mortal realm.

At that time, the world was becoming increasingly chaotic. Although Zhao Zaizai was young, his reputation was already well-known. Moreover, he suddenly wiped out the Water Altar, eliminating the last scourge of the martial arts world, which was a rare and remarkable feat. Although the elders of the Water Altar had cultivation but were not very strong, they were protected by the terrain of the Water Altar and had been able to occupy the area for hundreds of years without ever suffering a defeat.

After her conversation with Nangong Liuli, Zhao Ranran felt both angry and confused, for no apparent reason. Feeling depressed and unhappy, she returned to Profound Dao Mountain and entrusted the matter to the elders of the Flower Cage Sect for their decision.

Seeing that she had accomplished her great task but was still sullen, the master of Profound Dao Mountain, Yan Nanxun, knew that she must have many feelings about entering the martial world for the first time. So he personally sought her out to talk, wanting to help her find the answers. Although Zhao Zaizai had grown, she couldn't figure out where her melancholy came from when she carefully pondered this experience.

There was no way to explain it. Zhao Zaizai pondered for half the night, then turned to Yan Nanxun and asked, "Master, is it true that One-Glance Fated Bond? With my appearance, if someone sees me even once, I'm destined for entanglement?"

Thinking to myself, "If that's the case, even though Li Xian is dead, this matter will inevitably entangle me again. Is it Nangong Liuli? Will she seek revenge on me? Hmph, I was indeed biased. If she seeks me out, let her. I certainly won't always give in to her—"

Yan Nanxun's expression was strange as he asked, "Do you want it to be true, or do you not want it to be true?" Zhao Zaizai didn't know how to answer. She desperately wanted to say "I don't want it to be true," but as soon as the words left her lips, Yan Nanxun knew her true feelings were revealed. If others knew that she was betrothed to the Flower Thief, even though the Flower Thief was already dead and her heart had changed, and she didn't necessarily have to kill him, it would ultimately damage her reputation. She didn't want to admit it, and she didn't want it to be spread.

However, answering "I think it's true" goes against his true feelings. Therefore, he is caught in a dilemma and can only remain silent. Yan Nanxun learns that Zhao Zaizai's mind is in turmoil. In fact, the "One-Glance Fated Bond" is neither true nor false, it can be true or false. It all depends on how one views it. Whenever he mentions the "One-Glance Fated Bond," he always glosses over it, leaving it to Zhao Zaizai to figure out for herself.

Seeing that she was deep in thought, he did not offer an answer. He simply observed Zhao Zaizai's condition. She seemed to be living her life as usual, as if nothing had affected her, but the knot in her heart remained, which was ultimately not a good thing.

However, Yan Nanxun it difficult to advise her on the root of her inner turmoil, for a woman's heart is even more unfathomable and impossible to fathom. He thought to himself, "Most of the time, these inner turmoil stem from One-Glance Fated Bond. Fate is a difficult thing to unravel. If she could resolve it herself, that would be best. Since that's the case, why not let her spend time with Chunfeng? She's getting on in years. If she and Chunfeng are mutually attracted and willingly let him unveil her face, then she can come back to me about this One-Glance Fated Bond encounter. I can then tell her it's true, real, and unchangeable."

Yan Nanxun thought his plan was brilliant. On a leisurely day, he summoned the young boy and girl to his side and said, "Chunfeng and Zaizai are not young anymore and are ready to enter the world. Although Chunfeng is older, he is not as famous as Zaizai."

Taishu Chunfeng laughed heartily, "Junior Sister Zai Zai's abilities are astonishing. Upon entering the mortal world, she has already quelled the Flower Thief, bringing glory to our Profound Dao Mountain. This is truly a joy for our Profound Dao Mountain. In this respect, I, Taishu Chunfeng, humbly admit defeat."

Zhao Ranran gracefully bowed to Taishu Chunfeng. The two exchanged glances, each maintaining proper etiquette. Yan Nanxun a glimmer of hope in their relationship, was secretly pleased and offered encouragement. "While that's true, Chunfeng, you also need to work harder. Shouldn't you also accomplish something to let the world know who you, Golden Boy, are?"

Taishu Chunfeng, his eyes filled with disdain, confidently stated, "That's only natural."

Yan Nanxun said, "That's perfect. Recently, Guanlong Circuit have been reports of remnants of the Candle Cult causing trouble in Dragon Mountain Prefecture, Guanzhong. Speaking of which, the Candle Cult matter should not be underestimated. Only by entrusting this matter to Chunfeng can I feel at ease."

Yan Nanxun said gently, "Chunfeng —if you have nothing else to do, could you go and investigate for me?"

Taishu Chunfeng said, "I will certainly not fail in my mission. Hmph, what kind of Candle Cult Sect dares to rise from the ashes? They are not worth mentioning. I will definitely prepare a perfect plan to destroy their souls and annihilate their bodies." A sense of pride rose in his heart, and he felt that no one else could do it.

Yan Nanxun a deep voice, "We must not be careless. Candle Cult has been destroyed, its sparks have been scattered. How can we underestimate it? There are many experts and strongmen among them. Let's do this: at least we will leave the mountain one more time than you."

"She has more experience in the martial world than you, so how about she assists you from the side?"

Taishu Chunfeng was taken aback. He was a few years older than Zhao Zaizai and had been roaming the martial world under an alias for years, accomplishing remarkable feats. His experience in the martial world should far surpass that of Zhao Zairan. After a moment's thought, he immediately realized that Yan Nanxun intended to bring them together. He was overjoyed. Although the golden couple's paths hadn't crossed much, Taishu Chunfeng had secretly noticed Zhao Zaizai since childhood and had developed a strong liking for her. He wanted to unveil her veil, see her true face, and continue their golden and jade-like relationship.

He looked at Zhao Zaizai. Zhao Zaizai's beautiful eyes were focused as she also sized up Taishu Chunfeng. Knowing that the "golden boy and jade girl" were destined to be together, she thought, "When people mention the golden boy, they always mention the jade girl. And when they mention the jade girl, they always mention the golden boy. I have had very little contact with him, but it seems that our fate has already been predetermined. Traveling with him this time and getting to know him better shouldn't be a bad thing. Besides, I'm feeling down, so going out for this opportunity will be a way to pass the time."

He said, "If Brother Chunfeng doesn't mind, Ranran can certainly come along."

Taishu Chunfeng could not hide his joy. He coughed twice to regain his composure. Yan Nan found the golden boy and jade girl standing together, a sight to behold, and was overjoyed to see them. He was even more gratified, imagining that in the future, they would be a perfect match, running Daoxuan Mountain together, which would surely be a blessing for the world.

The trip was thus decided. Yan Nanxun said, "The Guanlong Circuit is adjacent to the Wanghe Circuit. The journey is long and fraught with danger. Moreover, the Candle Cult Sect is powerful, so you must conceal yourselves and not make a sound. Every blade of grass and every tree along the way is a part of the scenery. You must carefully contemplate and appreciate it."

The two chose a day to travel the world together. Yan Nanxun instructed them to "conceal their identities," and Taishu Chunfeng and Zhao Zaizai naturally complied, so no one knew that the two were traveling the world.

Moreover, he apprehended thieves and fought evil, anonymously performed good deeds, and lived a life of swift justice and vengeance. One night, Taishu Chunfeng asked, "Little sister Zaizai, is something on your mind?"

Zhao Ranran shook her head and said, "I have nothing on my mind." Taishu Chunfeng said, "I suppose I was just overthinking it."

Taishu Chunfeng gradually fell in love with Zhao Zaizai, but Zhao Zaizai was preoccupied with other thoughts and did not notice, pay attention to, or develop any feelings for him. However, she saw that Taishu Chunfeng's character and martial arts skills were no less than her own. She secretly admired him and looked at him with high regard.

Taishu Chunfeng's mother's surname was Su, and she was related to the Jade City Su Clan by blood. The two traveled the world and came to Jade City by chance. They lived in the Su Clan mansion. Because they did not make it public, very few people knew about it.

When Zhao Ranran first arrived in Jade City, she was also amazed by the scenery. She enjoyed playing with the Heavenly Crafted Wonders and wanted to explore the principles of their operation. Thus, her trip to "view the jade" came about today.

Li Xian caught a glimpse of the crowd from afar and could only lament his bad luck. That Jade Maiden's spirit was still haunting him; how could he have ended up as a jade gatherer and still run into her halfway through his journey? Li Xian was afflicted with the "Eighteen Jade City Strikes," making it difficult for him to use his martial arts skills. If he got too close, he would surely be detected.

Li Xian hesitated, "If Zhao Zaizai sees me in this state, she will surely stab me to death. This attempt to curry favor with powerful clans must be abandoned. But—I can arrange hair strands along the way to observe and eavesdrop on their conversations."

He fled far away early, using his eyesight to observe from afar and deduce the places he would pass through, planting seeds of hair in advance. He couldn't help but sigh, "Wherever they go, they are treated with utmost respect and great courtesy. I, on the other hand, am captured and bullied. Thinking about it, it's simply a matter of the difference in wealth and strength."

Suddenly, he saw the Pure Jade Divine Bird, circling and frolicking in the clouds. Li Xian thought to himself, "I spared your life back then, but your master plotted to kill me." Filled with resentment, his eyes sharpened like needles.

The Pure Jade Divine Bird, Jingyao, trembled violently and plummeted from the sky. Zhao Zairan was startled and immediately used her lightness skill to catch the Pure Jade Divine Bird in her arms, gently comforting it, her mind filled with a myriad of strange thoughts.

Taishu Chunfeng frowned and said, "Sister Zai, what's wrong? Little Pure has never acted like this before." Su Tiexin used her light footwork to leap onto the mountainside and rushed to a mountain peak. She looked around in awe and shouted, "Who dares to act like a villain! Dare to show yourself!"

The roar shook the trees, causing them to fall in a flurry. The sound waves seemed to materialize, surging outwards and causing trees for miles around to tilt. This was the Su Clan's "Ten-Thousand Enemy Roar." Legend has it that the Su Clan's ancestor, while guarding Jade City, used this roar to frighten away tens of thousands of enemy troops, causing chaos and scattering them as they abandoned their banners and fled. Whenever he talked about this, he was very proud of it, hence the creation of the "Ten-Thousand Enemy Roar" martial art.

However, after observing closely, he could not find her. Su Tiexin dismounted and asked with concern, "Miss Zhao, were you injured by a hidden arrow?"

Zhao Ranran's expression was strange as she gently stroked the Pure Jade Divine Bird and said, "It's alright, just some lingering injuries. These injuries shouldn't flare up again. But today—"

Gazing into the distance, her fist clenched and unclenched, her mood both heavy and strange. Taishu Chunfeng observed this and asked, "Ranmei, who could have Divine Bird? When was it injured? How come I don't know?"

Zhao Zairan said, "An unknown petty thief, but his Archery are quite good. At least at the Perfection level. He once shot Little Pure in the wing."

Taishu Chunfeng said, "Strange. Even though the Pure Jade Divine Bird was carelessly shot and fell wounded, it didn't turn into a frightened bird. Have you examined Little Pure's injury closely?"

Zhao Ranran shook her head and said, "I also find it strange. Even if Little Pure Jing was shot down, she shouldn't be so frightened. But this matter is difficult to investigate now. Why did she suddenly appear today? It's really—it really puzzles me." Youle's leisurely mood had dissipated.

But they continued towards "Jade Pillar Mountain." Su Tiexin said, "That's right, my post gave me a few tokens a while ago. Since Brother Ji and Miss Zhao are here, why don't we take a look together?"

Su Susu put her hands on her hips and said, "Fine, a few of my sisters and I wanted to go to the Deathwish Valley" too, and asked to borrow your tickets, but you said you didn't have any. So you were lying to me!"

Su Tiexin laughed, "Haha, little sister, please don't be offended, little sister, please don't be offended." Zhao Ranran asked, "Deathwish Valley?"

Su Tiexin said, "These tickets are unusual. Even in Jade City, they're extremely expensive. Behind this Deathwish Valley is that Hong—I won't mention her name. Just understand."

Taishu Chunfeng, intrigued, asked, "But what use is it?" Su Tiexin replied, "It's a thoroughly barbaric land. All education is rejected; only fighting to the death matters."

Su Tiexin said, "Gentlemen, have you ever considered what would happen if we lost our cultivation and martial arts skills one day?" Taishu Chunfeng laughed and said, "That's impossible. We have cultivated diligently to reach this point, and it is part of who we are. Why think about such things?"

Su Tiexin said, "The Deathwish Valley is designed to fulfill this possibility. Anyone with aspirations can sign a Deathwish Valley contract," abandoning martial arts and everything else, leaving only blood and blades. The most primal form of combat—if one wins—

"If one fails, one will suffer great benefits, such as a dramatic change in fortune, rising to prominence, obtaining a position, or gaining prestige. If one fails, one will die."

Taishu Chunfeng said, "Is that so?" Su Susu said, "Father said that Jade City has been peaceful for too long and needs to be tempered by blood and fire. This Deathwish Valley is just the right place to stimulate our fighting spirit."

Taishu Chunfeng was extremely interested and quite wanted to give it a try. Su Tiexin said, "Brother Ji, let's take a look."

While anyone, regardless of status, may attempt to enter the Deathwish Valley, the dangers are immense if one truly participates.

Taishu Chunfeng said with great interest, "Oh? I do believe that the strong will always be strong. Sister Zai, what do you think?"

Zhao Ranran gently stroked the bird's down, her thoughts drifting elsewhere. Taishu Chunfeng, holding the reins, stood tall and proud, exuding an air of refined elegance.

Li Xian overheard this through a whispered conversation. He thought, "The Deathwish Valley —this might be an opportunity, a chance to escape at the risk of my life! Jade City possesses both Heavenly Crafted Wonders and magnificent buildings—it must also have a bloodthirsty and utterly cruel side. My only option is to take the most perilous path to escape this predicament as soon as possible. However— the Deathwish Valley is far more complex than that!"

Composing himself, Su Tiexin returned to his wooden residence. With considerable power and influence, he summoned the soldiers guarding the mine and arranged the collected jade seeds neatly.

Su Susu was quite Proficiency about Heavenly Crafted Wonders and knew that Zhao Zaizai was curious about this, so she explained its uses to her. Li Xian, who was among the crowd, listened in and suddenly understood.

It turns out that the precious jade is actually the "heart" of the Jade City. Heavenly Crafted Wonders require a "Jade Core." These Heavenly Crafted Wonders are composed of "components" and a "Jade Core." There are sixty-four common Jade Core, which correspond to the sixty-four hexagrams.

Jade City's "Return Pass" is equipped with ten heavy crossbows, each several stories high. When activated, they can penetrate a small mountain, causing the ground to tremble violently. It is a Heavenly Crafted Wonders, both large in scale and exquisitely crafted.

The intricate and complex "components" are composed of sixty-four rare Jade Core, resembling a complete and perfect whole. Once activated, it will surely astound heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Crafted Wonders —seemingly novel and strange—actually follows the principles of the universe. For example, humans can survive in the universe because of the existence of water, food, and the Sun-Moon Alternation. If the universe were to be deficient, and the "rivers" were to dry up overnight, countless lives would be lost, with millions of corpses lying in ruins.

The principle of "Heavenly Crafted Wonders" is the same. Components and Jade Core —together they form a complete universe, with internal cycles and interconnected principles. Thus, they can be used without hindrance.

A finely crafted "Heavenly Crafted Wonders" contains profound principles of the universe, which are quite remarkable. It is similar to martial arts in many ways. However, the "Heavenly Crafted Wonders" depends on the "Jade Core", and the Jade Core depends on the terrain of Jade City.

Therefore, once Heavenly Crafted Wonders leaves Jade City, it becomes useless. After hearing a few words, Li Xian gained a basic understanding of Heavenly Crafted Wonders. This path is vast, and it is difficult to achieve mastery by studying it alone.

Zhao Ranran was troubled by the "Pure Jade Divine Bird" incident. She felt inexplicably irritable, and after a cursory glance, she left Jade Pillar Mountain.

Zhao Ranran gently stroked the Pure Jade Divine Bird, suddenly thinking, "After that Li Xian died, could he have turned into a vengeful ghost and is haunting me? Otherwise, why would Little Pure's injury recur? Is this what they mean by 'entangled fate'? Should I find an exorcist to drive him away?"

Having recently traveled the martial world and experienced many wonderful things, she had already become somewhat indifferent to this matter. However, the sudden resurrection today has inevitably stirred up her emotions again. She gracefully wielded her sword, her Swordsmanship flowing naturally, having reached the pinnacle of Peak Mastery. Several feet away from her, there was a Water Altar. She flicked the tip of her sword to create a line of water, haphazardly tracing lines in the air.

Sometimes she traced lines and drew circles, sometimes she outlined strokes and lines. She actually drew the prototype of a masterpiece, and continued to practice her Swordsmanship. The water painting gradually became radiant, as if adding ink and color, and leaped out in front of her.

This painting depicts towering mountains and deep valleys, ethereal white mist, flocks of birds paying homage to the phoenix, and layers of verdant peaks. The painting reflects the viewer's thoughts. While Zhao Zaizai's painting is indeed exquisite and magnificent, the mountains are shrouded in mist, the birds are hidden in the clouds, the phoenix perches deep in the forest, and the layers of verdant peaks overshadow the main subject.

Her mind was in a fog. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. Zhao Zaizai casually waved her hand, and the water painting fell back into the water vat. Taishu Chunfeng said, "Zai'er, do you have any thoughts on the matter of the Deathwish Valley to Die?"

Zhao Ranran said, "I dislike this kind of fighting." Taishu Chunfeng said, "Although I have some connections with the Su Clan, the extravagant lifestyle of Jade City is quite contrary to the simple and unpretentious spirit of my Profound Dao Mountain. Deathwish Valley."

Zhao Zairan frowned. Taishu Chunfeng frankly said, "I do have a competitive spirit. How can a man like us not strive for victory? But— the Deathwish Valley always suffers heavy casualties. The defeated are often beheaded and hung up as spoils of war. I think—if I were to defeat someone, I could spare their life. In this way, I could consider it saving lives and doing good."

Zhao Zaizai cupped his hands and said, "I have high hopes for Brother Chunfeng's character. But—what if there is danger in such a perilous place as his sacrifice?"

Taishu Chunfeng asked, "Is Zai-mei worried about me?" Zhao Zaizai replied, "This matter is uncontrollable. Jade City is a dangerous place; we must be cautious."

Taishu Chunfeng laughed and said, "Of course. Jade City is just passing through. I will withdraw and leave with you when the time is right. In that case, would you be willing to help me?"

Zhao Ranran was initially unwilling to participate, but then she suddenly thought of this as a "life-or-death struggle," and a pair of resolute eyes appeared in her mind. She suddenly wanted to see if those eyes, forced into a corner and risking their lives, were also so resolute, calm, and composed.

He replied, "Okay! I'll go."

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Seeing his opportunity slip away, "Biao De" was furious. After Zhao Zairan left, he unleashed his rage, smashing everything in the center of the room.

Lots of miscellaneous items.

When he saw "Little Cui" again, he angrily questioned her about the "handkerchief". Little Cui denied it outright. Only later did Biao De realize that he had been ambushed. He immediately turned his attention to fighting with several major forces.

Although Li Xian hid in the shadows and failed to escape, he found another way out. So he tried to find out the location of "Deathwish Valley" by using all his skills.

Deathwish Valley be a arena for "death battles," where people fight tigers, wolves, strange beasts, and other people with their bare hands—releasing their bloodlust and risking their lives for a great cause. Jade City is frequented by learned scholars, impeccably dressed, yet it has its own place to unleash their bloodlust.

Li Xian awaited the opportune moment, determined to participate in the desperate battle at "Deathwish Valley" and fight to wipe out all his debts, thus gaining his freedom.
