Chapter 848: Silent Echo Valley (Part 2)

Beyond that lay a continuous expanse of towering mountains, with steep cliffs and rugged terrain, and this was merely a part of the Silent Echo Valley.

"City Lord Yun, are you certain that Pixiu has been affected by your Heavenly Dew?" Seojin Feng asked, frowning as he looked toward the misty mountains ahead.

"Of course. We wouldn’t be able to deal with an adult Pixiu together; I wouldn’t joke about matters concerning your lives," City Lord Yun replied, taking a deep breath, his eyes shining with restrained excitement.

His Heavenly Dew was indeed effective against Pixiu. Having waited here for almost a month, he finally caught a trace of the demonic beast.

If it were a pure-blooded Nine Heaven Pixiu, his Heavenly Dew might not be very useful, but the mixed-blood Pixiu had not yet reached the level of a Beast Emperor.

Although it was only a mixed-blood Pixiu, it was already sufficient for him.

"Should we continue to pursue it?" a cold-faced sword cultivator with a blade on his back asked. "Further ahead is the gathering place of powerful demonic beasts. If we go there, we might easily fall into a trap surrounded by the beasts. Given the commotion we’re making now, it’s likely that other powerful demonic beasts of Silent Echo Valley have already taken notice."

"Yes, we must pursue it," Seojin Feng replied, his eyes filled with barely contained fervor.

How many years had it been? How many years had Beast Tamer Valley searched before discovering the existence of a Pixiu? If they could capture the Pixiu, Beast Tamer Valley would have no trouble commanding the demonic beasts of the Mystic Void Continent in the future.

"A Pixiu affected by the Heavenly Dew has greatly diminished combat power; this is our golden opportunity. If we miss it, I will have no more Heavenly Dew left," City Lord Yun said, gathering his focus.

No one objected; during this time, City Lord Yun had used the Heavenly Dew several times, which indeed had cost a considerable amount.

However, no one would believe that he truly had no Heavenly Dew left; they were only collaborating temporarily. Once interests were laid bare, anyone could turn hostile in an instant. At such times, who wouldn’t want to keep a little trump card for themselves?

Everyone was sure that City Lord Yun still had Heavenly Dew; that was beyond doubt.

"Then let’s hurry. In the fleeting moment before, I saw something in the embrace of Pixiu; it looked like it might be an egg," Seojin Feng said, filled with a burning desire to find Pixiu.

Everyone became excited by his words. They had noticed it too but weren’t certain what it was. If it really was a Pixiu’s egg, they would have struck it lucky.

They didn’t know if there were any other Pixiu on the Mystic Void Continent, but this particular one on Silent Echo Valley was the first to be discovered in a century. If they could capture the egg as well, this trip would be worth it.

However, if given the choice, everyone still preferred to capture an adult Pixiu. Raising a young Pixiu was no easy task; it would first require immense wealth.

"Are you certain it was really a Pixiu’s egg?" The sword cultivator raised an objection.

"Do you think otherwise?" Everyone turned to look at the sword cultivator.

"I’m not sure; I just feel that our luck has been too good. When we faced Pixiu earlier, I noticed it seemed especially protective of what was in its embrace, willing to get injured rather than let its possession be harmed. Perhaps it really is an egg," the sword cultivator said, squinting his eyes.

Seojin Feng immediately said, "Pixiu places great importance on its offspring; they would risk their lives rather than allow their cubs to be harmed."

"Let’s go; we can’t waste any more time. The effects of the Heavenly Dew won’t last indefinitely." City Lord Yun blasted away the large tree blocking their path and continued forward as he spoke.

"I remember the devils also sent people to Silent Echo Valley. Their target is also Pixiu, so we can’t let them find it before us."

"Our opponents aren’t just the devils; there’s also that old rival of yours." Seojin Feng implied as he glanced at City Lord Yun.

City Lord Yun immediately thought of City Lord Wang and snorted coldly, "He can’t be considered my rival anymore; with those severe injuries, it won’t be easy for him to survive on Silent Echo Valley."

"City Lord Wang is your brother-in-law." The sword cultivator changed his tone and added, "As expected of City Lord Yun; he can kill his brother-in-law without batting an eye."

"One must keep accounts clear even with blood relatives; what does a brother-in-law count for?" City Lord Yun replied indifferently.

The sword cultivator fell silent, and the others had nothing to say. However, they were all secretly on guard; City Lord Yun who could ruthlessly kill even a brother-in-law would certainly stab them in the back without hesitation. He was a ruthless character.

Although everyone seemed united, the distance between them hadn’t truly narrowed. No one really dared to turn their backs on their allies.

The faint sounds gradually faded into the darkness.

At the same time, disturbances began to arise throughout Silent Echo Valley. Groups of forces gathered from all directions, converging in a location opposite to where City Lord Yun and his group were. Each one had a ferocious appearance, with green faces and sharp fangs, quickly gathering together in the shadows, amassing hundreds of heads.

A faint glimmer of light shone down, illuminating their faces, revealing their green visages, which belonged to the devils that had long since entered the Valley.

"The human cultivators are recklessly capturing Pixiu, and there’s fierce infighting among them. Now is our chance to take advantage of the chaos," said a blue-faced devil with two sharp horns on its head.

A relatively young devil excitedly exclaimed, "I can lead people to hunt them down."
