Chapter 47 Entering the Valley (Please read further and vote with monthly tickets)

"what?"

"Someone dares to attack and kill our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' disciples?"

Upon hearing this, the two outer disciples' expressions changed drastically, and some even found it hard to believe.

"That's absolutely right!"

Li Yunjing wiped away his tears and choked out, "If it weren't for my top-grade magic weapon, the 'Swift Boots,' I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save my life."

At this point, Li Yunjing was on the verge of tears.

"Damn it! This is a serious matter! You must come with me immediately to see Steward Wang!"

The previously cold-faced outer disciple became somewhat exasperated and, without saying a word, led Li Yunjing into the valley.

The other person, seeing that Li Yunjing was still in a daze, shouted in a low voice, "Hurry up and follow!"

"Yes! Senior brother!"

Li Yunjing sighed and followed the person in front of him into the valley.

Inside the valley, it was scorching hot, much hotter than outside, as if it were two different worlds.

Here, it's all bare, nothing but rocks.

Of course, in the distance, Li Yunjing saw clusters of houses, all made of piled-up stones.

It's estimated that those areas are mostly miners' residences.

On the other side, there were some houses that were built quite well.

This should be the place for the outer disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

In addition, many caves appear to have been carved into the cliffs inside the valley.

We don't know what's inside these caves, but they don't look like mine shafts in a mining area.

Because Li Yunjing had already seen to the very depths, there seemed to be a huge cave entrance. The cave was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Outside the cave entrance, some ragged mortals were going in and out.

These people were carrying baskets and hampers on their backs, transporting something.

It was just too far away for Li Yunjing to see clearly, but as a spirit stone mining area, he could guess what was in the basket even without looking.

The road was uneven and bumpy.

Li Yunjing vaguely felt countless gazes sweeping over him.

Li Yunjing was truly alarmed by the tight security, not knowing how many people were hiding in the shadows.

After walking three miles with this outer sect senior brother, Li Yunjing arrived at the front of a stone cave clinging to a cliff.

Upon arriving here, the outer sect senior brother stopped.

Under Li Yunjing's watchful gaze, he saw the outer sect senior brother mutter a few incantations, raise his hand, and a beam of green light flew out from his hand and into the bottomless cave.

After a while, there seemed to be a response from inside.

At the entrance of the cave, a ripple appeared, and a dazzling red light appeared in the air. The red light distorted for a moment before dissipating, and the original calm was restored.

Immediately afterwards, two inner disciples dressed in blue robes walked out of the cave.

"There are restrictions here! The defenses are incredibly tight."

Li Yunjing was slightly shocked. He hadn't expected that there would be such powerful defenses at the entrance of this cave. It seemed that if one didn't know the environment here, taking a wrong step could lead to certain death.

With this in mind, Li Yunjing became even more cautious.

He had to keep up with his senior brothers from the outer sect and couldn't be careless; one wrong step and he'd be finished.

"Chen Zongfu, what brings you here?"

An inner disciple asked coldly, "Reporting to Senior Brother Ma, these are the fellow disciples who were escorting the grain supplies. Something happened to them on this trip."

Outer disciple Chen Zongfu's heart tightened, and he pointed at Li Yunjing, quickly saying.

"Hmm? Tell me in detail!"

The inner disciple, who was called Senior Brother Ma, was taken aback, and then asked in a low voice.

"Is such that……"

Soon, Chen Zongfu repeated what Li Yunjing had said.

"Heh heh! Interesting! Someone actually dares to target our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'? They're truly courting death!"

The two inner disciples sneered repeatedly.

As for the deaths of the four outer disciples, the two were unmoved, only furious that someone dared to disrespect their "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
Within the "Shenxiao Daozong" system, miscellaneous disciples and outer disciples are not considered "one of us".

Only those who are promoted to the inner sect are considered one of the sect's own people.

While inner and outer disciples may appear to have similar cultivation levels, their actual combat strength differs greatly.

Inner disciples can truly learn the sect's authentic techniques and supernatural abilities, possess a set of top-grade magical artifacts, and some inner disciples even have great supernatural powers and can obtain spiritual artifacts for protection.

Above low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade magical artifacts are spiritual artifacts.

Spiritual artifacts are also divided into four grades.

Spiritual artifacts are generally used by disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage. With such protective treasures, these inner disciples became extremely arrogant.

Of course, they have the right to be arrogant.

Within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," there have been numerous instances where inner disciples encountered Foundation Establishment cultivators while training outside.

Escaping pursuit is commonplace, turning defeat into victory is not uncommon, and there have even been several instances of lower-level cultivators defeating higher-level ones and achieving a comeback by killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

These stories have been passed down in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and are talked about with great interest by every generation of Qi Refining disciples.

Everyone dreams of achieving such success one day.

The inheritance of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is far superior to that of ordinary rogue cultivators, small families, and small sects. The difference in combat power is obvious, and they should never be regarded as ordinary cultivators of the same level!
Therefore, these two inner disciples naturally looked down on the outer disciples and seemed indifferent to their deaths.

"In that case, you two come in!"

Senior Brother Ma nodded, and he and another fellow disciple turned and walked into the cave.

Chen Zongfu and Li Yunjing followed the two into the cave.

Inside the cave, it was not hot; in fact, it felt cool, with a temperature similar to that outside "Red Sun Valley".

The cave walls are inlaid with fist-sized luminous pearls.

It was enough to illuminate the path inside the cave clearly.

Li Yunjing followed the three of them smoothly. The entire cave was three zhang high and one zhang wide. The path was winding and twisting, and the whole way was filled with black, unidentified sand and stones. Throughout the entire process, they could not see a single living thing, not even moss or the like.

They walked forward for a full three miles, and Li Yunjing felt as if they were heading downwards!

By this time, they had gone even deeper underground.

After walking another two miles, a huge cave space appeared ahead, brightly lit and no different from the outside world.

Before long, Li Yunjing and his three companions were inside the stone chamber.

This is a square space, ten zhang in diameter, with a ceiling three zhang high. On the black walls all around, there are rows of glass lamps hanging.

The floor is paved with stone slabs, and the layout here is like a study, clean and tidy.

Behind the desk, there is a bookshelf against the wall, filled with various books, and next to it, there are several shelves with various items on them.
