Chapter 849: Silent Echo Valley (Part 3)

In reality, the devils present weren’t young; regarding the bloodline of the Nine Heaven Pixiu, the human cultivators sent here were all at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Lower-tier devils who dare to come here were simply courting death.

"This matter is up to you, Forvach. The rest of us will split into two groups. Remember, we cannot let them get Pixiu." The older devil’s eyes glowed green in the darkness.

"Rest assured; we know what to do." A devil sitting diagonally opposite him replied ominously.

Once they finished their discussion, about a hundred devils immediately divided into three groups and swiftly vanished into the shadows.

Deep within Silent Echo Valley, a roar from a demonic beast echoed, startling countless other demonic beasts into a frantic rush.

A few people darting through the jungle suddenly came to a halt.

"Is that Pixiu?"

"It doesn’t sound quite right; it could be someone intruding on the lair of another demonic beast. There could be a powerful demonic beast lurking anywhere around here."

"By the way, Brother Huo, are you still holding up?" The man dressed in gray robes turned y to the middle-aged man coughing in the center.

"I won’t die. What worries me more right now is City Lord Wang, but there’s nothing more to be done."

City Lord Wang coughed again.

No one expected that Taejin Yun would go to such lengths to set traps for him in order to kill him.

This was clearly premeditated, indicating that he had made other arrangements outside as well.

He hoped that his daughter and the others could hold on. At this moment, he had no way to rush back immediately.

No one tried to persuade him further. If City Lord Wang wanted to go back, he would have done so long ago; he wouldn’t have waited until now.

At the same time that various forces were stirring, Amalia and Kenny Lin finally arrived at the outskirts of Silent Echo Valley.

They did not enter the devil battlefield through usual route, as Sehyun Wang mentioned that Aarzostes’s father had not given up on searching for them. He had been sending people to watch near Obsidian City, waiting for them to enter the devil battlefield so he could immediately send someone to hunt them down. Therefore, they chose to enter through River Spring City.

Coincidentally, River Spring City was also one of the cities closest to Silent Echo Valley, and Aarzostes’s father would certainly not expect them to go to Silent Echo Valley.

"Silent Echo Valley is so vast; where are we supposed to find Pixiu?" Kenny Lin asked while standing on a rock.

There were many demonic beasts flying in the sky above Silent Echo Valley, which made flying impossible; they only descended when they got closer.

From a distance, it was impossible to see the end of Silent Echo Valley; all that could be seen in the distance were rolling mountains.

It was said that there was a long and mysterious road that led directly to the highest point of Silent Echo Valley, but it had long since been overgrown with thorns. This road was said to have been paved with bones, and they were currently standing in front of this path, at the entrance entwined with vines, where they could faintly see a trail leading inside.

"The sect leader said we could look for the cultivators of Green Lotus Sect; they might know where Pixiu is," Amalia said, suddenly changing the subject, "but I think it’s unnecessary."

Wealth, who had been sleeping soundly in her arms, slightly trembled, opening its lifeless eyes.

At the same time, deep within Silent Echo Valley, a pair of beast-like sharp eyes suddenly opened in the darkness, staring toward the outside and emitting a low growl that seemed filled with disbelief.

"What’s the matter?" A towering and muscular demonic beast descended from a height. Despite its massive body, its landing was soundless. It gazed at another demonic beast, which had suddenly risen to its feet in alarm, a low growl escaping its throat.

The sun had completely set, and the red sunset clouds were swallowed by the night. The sky was dotted with stars, though they were obscured by thick black clouds. From deep within, the occasional roars of demonic beasts could be heard, and a sense of darkness pervaded the air.

"I think I’ve sensed the bloodline of one of our kind," the demonic beast growled, its deep voice carrying an ancient weight. Atop its head was a golden horn, but it was aged by times.

"One of our kind?" The towering demonic beast also had a golden horn on its head, though it appeared to have suffered serious damage in the past; the tip of its golden horn was broken, missing its sharpest part.

"Zhar’khaen, that’s not a funny joke. You usually say whatever you like, but now is not the time for jokes. We still don’t know what state Vryss’laar is in," said the horned demonic beast emerging from the darkness. Gentle moonlight bathed its body, revealing its disheveled fur, though its sharp, dignified eyes gave off an air of authority.

Zhar’khaen, the name of the giant golden demonic beast, anxiously scraped at the dirt on the ground. "Gor’kan, I’m not joking. I truly sensed it."

The horned demonic beast, Gor’kan, turned pale. "Are you sure you didn’t sense it wrong? Pixiu has been rapidly declining in numbers since ancient times. Now, only the three of us remain. If we hadn’t been discovered by those damned humans and devils, we wouldn’t be in this predicament."

"It’s been so many years, and we haven’t found any other members of our kind. Now you’re telling me you’ve sensed the presence of one? The only place that could be is Silent Echo Valley. We’ve lived here for how many years? And now you’re telling me this?"

Zhar’khaen didn’t show any embarrassment at being doubted, as he himself found it hard to believe.

As Gor’kan had said, they had been living in Silent Echo Valley for so long that they knew every inch of it. If another Pixiu truly existed here, there was no way they would just now be sensing its presence.
