The Horse Talisman Shows Its Power; Leaving Sound Valley

After putting away his Dou Qi inheritance, Xiao Yan prepared to leave the Ten Thousand Sounds Desolate Valley.

However, he still had to cleanse the place of demonic energy before leaving.

Because it has existed for so long, the demonic energy here is extremely dense, and it is probably unrealistic to expect it to dissipate in a short period of time.

Therefore, Xiao Yan planned to completely eliminate the demonic energy here so that it would no longer harm people.

Doing what I can is a way of thanking Senior Sikong for his gift.

For something as filthy as demonic energy, Mysterious Thunder and Heavenly Flames can cleanse it with ease.

The demonic energy was instantly incinerated into nothingness the moment it came into contact with the Heavenly Flames.

Meanwhile, the commotion here finally attracted the attention of the Four-Star Dou Sheng in Sound Valley.

He was an elderly man dressed in white, with gray hair and an air of otherworldly wisdom.

Upon noticing the unusual situation in the forbidden area, he immediately came here.

"The demonic energy... is dissipating!"

Seeing the demonic energy within the forbidden area dissipating, the old man's eyes widened in shock, clearly stunned by what he saw.

"What on earth happened!" The old man's voice trembled slightly, his tone incredulous.

The demonic energy here, which even caused him considerable trouble, simply dissipated like that?!

His old eyes were fixed on the valley, and he saw a figure slowly emerge, which was none other than Xiao Yan, who had finished his business.

In the old man's perception, Xiao Yan was just like an ordinary person, without the slightest fluctuation of Dou Qi.

Someone who can stroll so leisurely in a forbidden area could not possibly be an ordinary person; they must be a powerful senior.

"Supreme Elder Sound Valley, Yin Zizai greets Senior!" The old man dared not put on any airs of Supreme Elder and quickly bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan.

He's lived for so many years, he still has some brains.

"No need to be nervous." Xiao Yan waved his hand and explained with a smile, "I received some favors from your ancestor, so I just helped you cleanse yourself of this filth."

Hearing what Xiao Yan said, Yin Zizai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of excitement appeared in his old eyes. He bowed again and said, "Thank you for your generous help, Senior!"

This demonic energy has plagued them for many years, and they have never been able to get rid of it.

Xiao Yan's ability to eliminate him has done a great favor for the Sound Valley.

"It's nothing, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment." Xiao Yan said calmly, not taking it to heart at all.

As the concert drew to a close, Xiao Yan's figure vanished before the old man's eyes, leaving only a whispered message echoing in the old man's ears.

"No need to worry, I mean no harm. I will leave once I'm done with my business."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the old man smiled freely, no longer worried about anything, and his figure gradually faded away.

If Xiao Yan truly harbored malicious intent, ten of him combined wouldn't be a match for him.

Rather than getting into an unpleasant situation, it's better to go back, have some tea, and get some sleep.

Xiao Yan left the forbidden area and quietly returned to Mu Qingluan's side.

At that moment, everyone took out their own musical instruments and began to play as they pleased.

The sounds of various musical instruments suddenly filled the area around the altar, yet the combination was surprisingly harmonious, and everyone, including Xiao Yan, was enjoying themselves.

With the atmosphere already set, Xiao Yan also became interested. A Seven-String Guqin made of Dou Qi appeared in front of him, and after a moment's thought, he began to play it on his own.

As the fingers plucked the strings, a long, gentle, serene, and relaxed melody resounded from the altar.

Just like the gentle drizzle falling in the mountains, it plunged everyone present into a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Upon hearing the music, Mu Qingluan, Mu Qingyi, and the surrounding disciples of Sound Valley all tacitly stopped what they were doing and closed their eyes to enjoy it.

Yin Wanxi was the same; her beautiful eyes, which had never shown any emotion, flickered with a strange light the moment she heard the music.

Xiao Yan was playing a famous guqin piece from his previous life, titled "Listening to the Rain on the Mountainside".

He did this partly because he was itching to play, and partly because he wanted to infuse the music with the power of the Horse Talisman to help the disciples of the Sound Valley remove the emotional effects of the demonic energy and allow them to fully return to normal.

After all, this was easy for him, and he could consider it an opportunity given to him by the two elders of Sound Valley.

Under Xiao Yan's control, the sound of the zither gradually enveloped the entire Sound Valley.

Under the influence of the Horse Talisman, the demonic energy within the disciples of Sound Valley was instantly expelled completely.

Such emotional outbursts will never happen again.

The concert came to a successful close amidst continuous applause.

The disciples of the Sound Valley had no idea what had happened; they only knew that after listening to Xiao Yan's zither music, their bodies felt warm and their mood improved.

After the performance, Xiao Yan naturally received admiring glances from everyone.

"Senior Brother, you're amazing!" Mu Qingluan exclaimed excitedly, her big eyes shining.

Mu Qingyi was the same; her usually aloof face was filled with admiration.

Xiao Yan's strength is already impressive, but his musical talent is also astounding; it's simply amazing.

So much so that they forgot to ask Xiao Yan where he went in the middle of the journey.

The three were still chatting when Yin Wanxi approached them, bowed to Xiao Yan, and said, "Wanxi is here. Thank you for your help, Senior..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Zizai and the other Elder of Sound Valley arrived, all expressing their gratitude to Xiao Yan.

With their formidable strength, they naturally knew exactly what Xiao Yan had done and how much help he had provided.

Xiao Yan's song saved most of their Sound Valley; the debt of gratitude was immeasurable.

This sudden turn of events took Mu Qingluan and Mu Qingyi by surprise.

It's just a piece of music, and although it's very good, there's no need to get so worked up.

They witnessed several of the Elder nearly kneeling before Xiao Yan, a truly exaggerated scene.

The Elder of Sound Valley wanted to keep Xiao Yan and his companions there to properly repay their kindness.

However, Xiao Yan was now focused on returning to his secluded cultivation, so he politely declined.

Rather than accepting Sound Valley's grateful hospitality, Xiao Yan was clearly more eager to return and refine his Soul Origin and cultivate his Dou Qi.

After a brief chat, Xiao Yan left Sound Valley with Mu Qingluan and Mu Qingyi.

On the way, Mu Qingluan looked at Xiao Yan with excitement in her eyes. "Senior Brother, can we come to Sound Valley more often in the future?"

She had a general understanding of the cause and effect of the incident before asking the question.

Mu Qingyi looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of anticipation.

"Just mention your Senior Brother's name when you arrive, and let's see who dares to make things difficult for you." Meeting the two women's gazes, Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Yay!" The two women exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this.

There's no way around it, the Sound Valley is like a fairyland, it's hard not to love it.

With the departure of the three from the Heavenly Sound Mountain Range, their trip to the Sound Valley came to a complete end.

Next, we will return to the Starfall Pavilion.

Seclusion, breakthrough!
