Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 269: The Ministry of Life?!

After roughly understanding the terrain, Lu Ping suddenly pointed at the map.

"The entrance to the Valley of Evil is in the west. Your map only shows the area within a hundred miles after entering the valley. It ends eastwards. Why is that?"

Xiao Yuer replied: "Further east is the 'natural barrier'."

Lu Ping asked in confusion: "What do you mean by natural danger?"

"A bottomless cliff filled with fog and poison."

Xiao Yuer explained: "No one knows what is under the cliff or on the other side of the cliff, or what kind of existence is there, because no one has ever been there..."

At this point, he suddenly paused and added, "No, it is possible that someone has been there, but no one has come back, otherwise someone in the valley must know."

Tie Xinlan at the side interrupted and said, "Isn't there a rumor that the East Wulin is just past that?"

Xiao Yuer chuckled and shook his head: "After all, it's just a rumor. No one has personally verified it, so how can we believe it?"

"That's true..."

They smiled and continued to discuss tomorrow's infiltration plan.

They have only one goal, which is to destroy Yanwang Guitu's plan.

The simplest and most direct way to achieve this goal is to subdue the opponent's people.

With Lu Ping here, this is not a problem at all.

The only problem is that we don’t know how many people the other side has, and whether they have already collected the blood-enhancing grass and transported it out, so we must send people to guard the entrance of the valley to prevent the other side from making a desperate move and sneaking through Chencang.

Finally, to be on the safe side, it is best to burn all the blood-increasing grass in the valley.

"In summary, the detailed plan of this operation is as follows..."

Lu Ping decided to divide his troops into four groups:
Su Ying recognized the blood-increasing grass, and Xiao Yuer was familiar with the terrain of the Evil Valley. The two of them were responsible for burning down the "warehouse" of the King of Hell and the blood-increasing grass in the Evil Valley.
Lin Pingzhi and Tie Xinlan were responsible for guarding the exit of the Valley of Evil to prevent the people from the King of Hell and the Ghost Path from transporting the herbs out during the chaos. They also had to guard against the enemy's accomplices who might be staying outside the valley, ready to provide support at any time.
Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu were prepared for other possible accidents, such as the evil people in the Evil Valley interfering;

Finally, it’s up to you to deal with the enemy’s main force!

The few people had no objection to Lu Ping's arrangement, so the action was decided.

The next day, the group left Murong Villa and headed for the Valley of Evil.

Although the two places were not far from each other, even on horseback it would still take most of the day to travel. As the travel time was not calculated in advance, it was not until nightfall that everyone finally arrived at the Valley of Evil.

"What do you say now?" Several people looked at Lu Ping.

"It's dark at night and the visibility is unclear. It's not suitable for rash actions."

Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Let's go into the valley first. Xiao Yuer will lead the way to Wan Chunliu's clinic!"

Wan Chunliu is the only doctor in the valley, and should be the person who has the most contact with the King of Hell and the Ghosts, so Lu Ping decided to go to him first and try to get some information.

The Evil Valley is a place with a very harsh environment. The terrain is steep and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. There are also strange rocks and weeds everywhere, poisonous insects and swamps. People who don’t have some skills really can’t stay here.

Led by Xiao Yuer, the group headed towards Wan Chunliu's clinic safely.

However, before they got closer, they saw bright lights and noisy voices from afar.

Several people looked at Xiao Yuer with questioning eyes.

Xiao Yuer understood immediately, shook his head and said, "Uncle Wan has always lived alone. He is also a loner and doesn't have many friends."

Since he is not a friend, he is most likely someone from the underworld.

The few of them looked at each other and knew that the enemy was most likely there, so they all slowed down their steps, used rocks, trees, and grass to hide their bodies, and slowly moved towards the clinic.

After walking forward a few meters, Xiao Yuer suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to stop the people from walking.

"what happened?"

Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, because he did not sense any enemy presence.

But Xiao Yu'er just shook his head and said softly, "Follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked in another direction. He also waved to everyone in the faint light, indicating that they should follow him.

Several people looked at each other. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they still chose to trust his judgment.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yuer led everyone to a rock with ease, and then suddenly lay down and crawled forward with his elbows. His movements were funny and hilarious.

As he did so, he urged the others, "Come on, learn how to do this. Come over here, and remember to lie down. Don't let anyone see you!"

Lu Ping and Lin Pingzhi found it interesting and became playful, so they followed suit and also lay down and crawled forward.

Finally, the three of them turned their heads at the same time, and six eyes stared at the four women behind them.

Such actions are undoubtedly very shameful and childish in the eyes of girls.

The four of them looked extremely embarrassed and blushed, and they would never do anything so dishonorable.

Even Zhang Jing, who was usually carefree, and Su Ying, who always obeyed Xiaoyuer's orders, glared at Xiaoyuer fiercely to express their rejection.

But in the end, the four girls were unable to withstand the "team power" and had to crouch down, bend over and slowly approach.

Lu Ping found the girl's shy and angry look both amusing and funny.

A group of seven people came to the stone, stuck their heads out and looked down, and suddenly a bright place appeared in front of them.

Lu Ping then realized that the huge rock under them was located in front of the clinic opened by Wan Chunliu. The view here is wide, and when looking down, you can also see everything around the clinic. It is an excellent reconnaissance point.

“This is such a great place!”

Lu Ping gave Xiao Yuer a thumbs up and nodded gently.

Xiao Yuer raised his eyebrows proudly: "It's a must!"

At this time, the area around the clinic was brightly lit, as bright as day. Dozens of martial artists with knives in hand and fierce eyes gathered in all directions.

These people were either guarding outside the clinic or watching over the fully loaded 'goods'. Some were walking back and forth further away, apparently on night patrol.

"They are not from the Valley of Evil."

Xiao Yuer understood what everyone was thinking, so he was the first to speak up and give an answer.

Lu Ping immediately replied: "It seems that they are the people of the King of Hell's Path!"

Several people whispered, "Boss, are you sure? Don't make a mistake later."

“There’s a great possibility!”

"When I was in Miaojiang some time ago, I happened to encounter a rebellion there. At that time, the Tianyi sect members bought a large amount of medicinal materials to make poison people. After investigation, it was found that the one who provided them with the medicinal materials was Yanwang Guitu."

Lu Ping pointed at the carts loaded with goods and said, "The style and markings of the convoys transporting goods at that time are exactly the same as the convoys below!"

Several people suddenly realized: "So there is such a thing..."

Just as several people were talking, two figures walked out of Wan Chunliu's clinic, one in front and one behind.

"It's Murong Shengxue!"

Lu Ping recognized the person walking in front of him at a glance.

When the No. 1 Village in the world was holding an open audition for spies in the capital city of Beijing, Lu Ping had noticed him, so he recognized him.

"And...Fang Zhimo!"

The person walking behind was Fang Zhimo, whom Lu Ping had also seen at the trade fair in Yinhuai Ghost Market.

Now it is confirmed that this group of people came from the underworld!
Wait, by the time of the trade fair, Murong Shengxue should have already joined the Yama Ghost Path, right?

Then, facing Murong Ning who was asking for his information, Fang Zhimo didn't say anything?

But it's also true, the more you do, the more you are exposed; doing nothing is less likely to arouse suspicion.

After confirming the other party's identity, the next thing to confirm is naturally the other party's purpose.

Lu Ping is not the kind of person who believes everything he hears.

Of course he remembered what the Yanwang Guitu organization did in the original drama, but the world had changed, so he had to re-investigate and re-examine their behavior and not act rashly because of prejudice.

Even though Murong Jiu stated with certainty that the intelligence collected by Murong Villa could not be wrong, the inferences and analyses of the King of Hell's actions on the Ghost Path were also reasonable.

But he still felt that these things needed to be seen and heard with his own eyes and ears in order to be confirmed.

After all, there are too many mistakes in the world caused by prejudice and misunderstanding.

While I was thinking, I heard the voices of Murong Shengxue and Fang Zhimo coming from below -

"I'm confused. Can't we just take the herbs and leave? Is it necessary to make a deal with that old man?"

The person who spoke was Murong Shengxue, his voice was three parts lazy and seven parts feminine.

Lu Ping felt that his voice was probably the result of years of smoking hookah.

This could also explain why, even though he came from a martial arts family and had good resources and talent, his swordsmanship was still so poor after all these years.

Fang Zhimo shouted, "You'd better be careful when you speak. That's not just any old man, but the 'Minister of Life' in the organization!"

"He is the only person in the entire world of Hell who is proficient in medicine and knows the prescriptions!"

"Without his support, no matter how powerful the rest of us are, it will be useless!"

These three short sentences were like a bolt from the blue.

Wan Chunliu is the Minister of Life?
Is he also from the underworld?
When did you join?

Lu Ping, who was lying on a rock and eavesdropping, suddenly widened his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Yuer.

At the same time, Xiao Yuer turned his head and looked over, then shook his head at Lu Ping, with a look of difference in his eyes, and it was obvious that he knew nothing about this either.

In surprise, he heard Murong Shengxue's sarcastic voice again.

"The Ministry of Obedience..."

"I seem to have heard that the two people before him were both undercover agents!"

"Could it be that this old man also joined the organization for a special purpose?"

The two people before?
It should refer to Lord Netherworld and Jin Poppy, right?

Fang Zhimo sneered and retorted: "Don't bother with that. We all voted for him to be the head of the Ministry of Life. Even the Ministry of Death agreed!"

"Compared to him, the people in the organization are more suspicious of you now!"
