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

Chapter 285 Passage
After breakfast, under the guidance of Xiao Yuer, Lu Ping and his party came to the deepest part of the Evil Valley - Fog Cliff.

Fog Cliff is also called 'Fog Valley' by the people in the valley.

This is because after walking eastward from the Valley of Evil to here, there are high cliffs behind you and deep valleys under your feet. No matter day or night, sunny or cloudy, cold or hot, there is always thick fog here, as if it is a world of its own, isolated from the rest of the world.

When Lu Ping and his companions arrived at the Fog Cliff, they were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

Several feet away from the cliff, the thick fog that had surrounded the area all year round suddenly dissipated, and the empty space was now occupied by a huge magic array!

The magic circle emitted a faint light and just hung in the air.

Behind it is a space crack that looks like a broken mirror!

Crossing the space crack, one can see that it seems to be filled with extremely disordered yet condensed spiritual energy. These spiritual energies gather together in some way to form a passage with no clear end.

"Is this... a space crack?!"

Lu Ping, who had a lot of experience in watching plays, recognized what the strange phenomenon before him was at a glance.

"From the looks of it, this should be a space passage leading to somewhere, but now this passage has been blocked by magic, so no one can go in or out."

Although space channels are strange, they are not particularly secretive in the world.

Ordinary martial artists may never have seen or heard of it in their entire lives, but those who are at the pinnacle of martial arts, or those who have some knowledge of spells and spiritual powers, have more or less heard of it.

It is occasionally mentioned in some martial arts secrets that in addition to sorcerers using magic to construct space teleportation arrays, warriors' internal strength can also do similar things.

The rumored 'Breaking the Void' is actually pretty much the same thing.

However, how could there be a space channel here?
Has a sorcerer ever constructed a magic circle here, or has a warrior ever broken the void here?
Where does this passage lead to?
Could it be some strange place in the Nine Realms?

Looking at the passage in front of him, Lu Ping fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, he was suddenly startled and remembered something: "It is rumored that the depths of the Evil Valley lead to the East Wulin. Could it be this place?"

"Hmm... the more I think about it, the more this is possible!"

When the others heard this, they all suddenly realized and felt that Lu Ping's guess made sense.

"The passage leading to East Wulin? It's really possible..."

"But why haven't I seen it before?"

"I think it was caused by the big battle yesterday."

Lu Ping explained to Wan Chunliu who raised the question: "During yesterday's battle, Juemingsi and I both used a lot of spiritual energy. This may have caused the lack of spiritual energy here, or the space to vibrate. The formation originally used to hide the passage was affected, and this is why the passage appeared."

"So that's how it is..." Wan Chunliu nodded, finally understanding the whole story.

After figuring out the cause of the change here, Lu Ping suddenly remembered what Juemingtian said yesterday -

'Once the channel is opened, I will have more opportunities.'

What Juemingtian meant should be: now that the channel has been opened, the two martial arts worlds are bound to have a certain degree of communication. At that time, people from the underworld will be able to travel between the two places and expand their business.

On the other hand, after the two places are connected, the Juemingsi will no longer be restricted to the southern and western martial arts worlds in choosing hosts, but can also reach out to the more distant eastern martial arts world.

I think there is no shortage of powerful warriors over there.

Not only that, if the future Juemingsi wants to obtain the 'Shenman Fruit' or use the weapons made of black crystals, it will undoubtedly be more convenient...

If you want to eliminate hidden dangers, you must guard this passage strictly.

But who is qualified to take care of this matter? Who is willing to take care of it?

You have to know that the Valley of Evil does not belong to the Suzaku Dynasty. It is just an ownerless place in the world. It is impossible for the imperial court to send troops to garrison here, and it is impossible for the Five Mountains and Seven Sects and other forces within the dynasty to come all the way here.

The Baiwu Association, led by Shi Yanwen, is not strong enough. If the organization is infiltrated by an ambitious person, it may bring unnecessary risks.

On the whole, this task must be given to someone who is small in size, strong in ability and has a good reputation!
Jianghu Wanshiwu is undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates.

But out of selfish considerations, Lu Ping didn't want himself and his brothers and sisters to stay in such a shabby place at such a young age.

Perhaps... resealing the channel would also be a possible method?
Lu Ping looked at the space passage again.

In fact, there is a distance between the space crack and the cliff, and it is almost impossible to get close unless you are a person with high martial arts skills.

Even if someone has great martial arts skills and can fly over there, there is still a magic circle blocking it. If you can't break the magic circle, if you rush over rashly, you will just crash into the magic circle and fall into the bottomless valley.

Even if the magic circle is broken and one can jump through, it is hard to say what the situation is inside the passage.

What if it has some kind of restrictions on who can enter, or it is not connected to Dongwulin at all, but to some other extremely dangerous place, going in rashly may be more trouble than gain.

"Boss, do you want to try to go in and take a look? With your lightness skills, you should be able to fly over, right?"

The crowd gathered around Lu Ping, stretching their necks and looking around, trying to see the passage more clearly, but all these actions were in vain.

Lu Ping said calmly: "It's not difficult to fly over, but there is a magic circle blocking it!" "At present, it seems that this passage is not completely open. No one should be able to pass through this side, and no one should be able to pass through that side. Let's go back first and ask someone about the situation here."

Several people asked, "Who should I ask about this kind of thing?"

Lu Ping answered without hesitation: "Of course it's Yan Tuolong!"

Apart from this old antique, no one else in the world probably knows more about it.

……

Today, the Valley of Evil is in ruins and devastation, and is no longer habitable.

So Wan Chunliu dug out a few usable things from the ruins, packed them roughly into a package, and left with Lu Ping and others, preparing to find a new place to settle down.

On their way back, they went back to Murong Villa first, but unexpectedly they met Murong Ning who was a guest there.

Normally, if the host is not at home and the guest cannot find anyone, he should leave.

But given Murong Ning's dual identities as 'Thirteenth Uncle' and 'Head of a Noble Family', if he really wanted to stay and wait for Murong Jiu to come back for a chat, the people in the villa would not dare to neglect him and would have to do their best to entertain him.

So after temporarily settling Lu Ping and others down, Murong Jiu went alone to meet Murong Ning.

"Uncle Thirteen has come from afar, and I am sorry for not showing you my courtesy."

"It's okay. It was my suddenness and my shamelessness in trying to keep me here. Please don't blame the manor manager."

"I will take care of this matter, but I don't know what important matter Uncle Thirteen is coming here for?"

"It's about Shengxue, the details are as follows..."

Murong Ning's purpose for coming here was actually very simple.

On the one hand, it was mainly to thank Murong Jiu for delivering the letter to Murong Mansion before; on the other hand, it was to convey to her the news that "Murong Mansion and Shengxue have reached an agreement, and there is no need to bother with subsequent matters."

Murong Jiu naturally felt relieved that she no longer had to trouble herself, but then she bluntly told the connection between Murong Shengxue and the King of Hell.

“…That’s how it is.”

"Cousin Shengxue has now joined the 'King of Hell's Path' and become one of the 'King of Hell's Ten Divisions'. He is causing trouble everywhere. I am afraid that he will become even more bad in the future, which will do more harm than good to the Murong Mansion!"

Murong Jiu had not mentioned these things in his letter before because he felt that he could not make a conclusion based on his temporary speculations, but now that the facts were before him, he could talk about it.

Murong Ning's face really became heavy after hearing this: "How could such a thing happen?!"

In fact, as early as after receiving Murong Jiu's letter, he sent people to investigate the Yanwang Guitu organization.

It's just that over the years, Yanwang Guitu has been hiding himself very well and has not revealed too many flaws, so in the end, Murong Mansion could only find out that they were destroyed by Youmingjun, Zhipengsu, and Yue Lingxiu more than ten years ago.

Now, hearing that the King of Hell has resurrected and that Murong Shengxue has gone astray and been involved in preparing medicine to make money and kill people in the martial arts world, he is naturally shocked and angry.

How could my nephew, who is a good boy, be led astray by someone?

That’s absolutely not possible!

"I will handle this matter personally and will not let Shengxue get deeper into trouble and do something that will anger the heavens and the people and cannot be undone."

"As for you, my dear niece, now that you have provoked them, I am afraid that there will be constant troubles in the future. Even if you are in the villa, you may not be able to guarantee your safety. If you need help, you can go to Murong Mansion at any time."

Murong Ning did not doubt the truth of what Murong Jiu said. After all, the truth would be revealed if they investigated the matter, not to mention the tragic situation in the Valley of Evil as evidence.

"Niece understands. Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Thirteen."

Murong Jiu said politely and thanked him simply: "But compared to my safety, the Murong Mansion should focus more on... on the family and the martial arts world."

After some thought, Murong Jiu finally did not ask the Murong Mansion to send people to guard the passage in the Valley of Evil. After all, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

When Murong Ning heard this, he knew that his niece did not take his kindness seriously, and he also understood the reason, so he gently shook the iron fan and changed the subject jokingly.

"Hey... We are both children of the seventh generation of the Murong family, and we are both traveling together in the martial arts world. However, Shengxue is much worse than you in terms of knowing people and making friends."

"From what I know, your brothers and sisters, though young, are all skilled in martial arts and chivalrous. How could Shengxue be so depraved?"

"What an unfortunate family!"

After the uncle and nephew exchanged some information, Murong Ning just sat for a while and then left the villa.

During dinner, Lu Ping also mentioned the potential risk of retaliation against Murong Villa.

In the Jianghu Wanshiwu, other people are basically alone, only Murong Jiu has a wealthy family, sisters, family and other contacts in the Jianghu. If something really happens in the future, the monk can escape but the temple cannot.

So after some discussion, everyone came up with an idea -

Designate Murong Villa as the new base of Jianghu Wanshiwu!
