Two hours later, Su Yueli reached her destination.
At the entrance to Black Wind Valley, quite a few cultivators had already gathered.
Su Yueli concealed herself behind a pile of boulders and surveyed the scene.
The cultivators at the entrance were roughly divided into three camps.
One group wore moon-white robes; they were disciples of the Azure Moon Sect.
Of the other two groups, one wore crimson fitted attire, while the other was uniformly clad in dark robes. Su Yueli did not recognize them.
Beyond the three major sects, several dozen Rogue Cultivators in varied clothing stood scattered about.
Su Yueli waited in the distance, intermittently catching hushed discussions.
"That Fourth Realm Earthsplitter Bear was severely wounded by a sect elder. It's now hiding in Demon Wind Cave, at the deepest part of the valley."
"Red Sun Sect and the Profound Yin Directorate have already led people inside. Our Azure Moon Sect should get moving too, or if we arrive late, we won't even get to drink the soup!"
Hearing this, Su Yueli more or less understood the situation.
Before long, the cultivators gathered at the entrance could no longer hold themselves back and surged into Black Wind Valley.
Only after every cultivator outside had completely gone did Su Yueli emerge from behind the rocks. With a flicker of her figure, she slipped inside.
The instant she entered the valley, the air around her turned chillingly cold. Violent black winds howled through the mountain passage, stinging her face raw.
Su Yueli had not ventured far into the valley when an enormous shadow sprang out from behind a pile of boulders ahead.
It was a Black-Armored Demon Spider the size of a small elephant. Its eight legs resembled steel spears, gleaming with a sinister, ghostly light.
A Mid-Second Realm demon beast.
