To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

Wen Sha turned to look at a Jindan stage cultivator on his left: "Have you found the whereabouts of Jin Jue?"

The monk on the left shook his head and replied, "Not yet, but we've already sent out some personnel. I believe we'll have news back soon."

Wen Sha nodded and said, "Okay, take action immediately upon receiving the news. Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder, if you three act together, it should be foolproof."

The three elders named were all in the late Jindan stage and were the top masters of the Black Wind Village.

"Hehe, he's just a Jin Jue, I can take him down by myself!" The speaker was the third elder of the Black Wind Village, Taoist Guimu.

This man was extremely old, with only skin and bones left on his body, but his eyes were glowing green, giving people a very strange feeling.

"It takes three of us to deal with Jin Jue together. If Jin Jue knew this, he would be very surprised." The fourth elder was a bald man with a black centipede painted on his bald head, which looked lifelike.

The last of the five elders was wearing a black Taoist robe with a string of skulls hanging around his neck. He sighed, "It's a pity that the Grand Elder hasn't broken through yet, otherwise we could all go straight to Qingyun Sect."

"The Qingyun Sect will be dealt with sooner or later, but before dealing with the Qingyun Sect, we can get rid of Jin Jue first. There are only five Jindan stage people in the entire Qingyun Sect. As long as Jin Jue is eliminated, the strength of the Qingyun Sect will be greatly damaged." Wen Sha's eyes flashed with a gleam.

In his opinion, if the three top masters, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Fifth Elder, attack together, Elder Jin Jue will definitely be able to defeat him.

At this time, Sun Yi and Elder Jin Jue did not know that they had been targeted by the Black Wind Village. Elder Jin Jue had taken Sun Yi to search for eleven soul gathering places, but still had not found the Heavenly Soul Liquid.

However, in the process of searching for the Heavenly Soul Liquid, Sun Yi was studying the place where souls gathered and gained some understanding of it.

"The next place where souls gather is the Soul Refining Valley. It is quite dangerous here. There are many ghosts and they are very powerful. We have to be careful." Elder Jin Jue controlled the escape light and flew all the way with Sun Yi, and finally arrived at a strange place.

Stopping in the air, Sun Yi looked at the soul gathering place below. He saw that this soul gathering place was circular and surrounded by six circular mountain ranges.

In the center of the ring there is a bottomless abyss, and above the abyss is a huge vortex formed by endless yin energy, and a huge attraction spreads out from the center of the vortex.

"Hey, the soul gathering place here is a bit strange. Let me study it." Sun Yi looked at the soul gathering place in front of him with surprise.

Looking at the strange terrain below, it seemed like a formation formed naturally.

Although Sun Yi has not yet systematically practiced formations, he has read many books on formations in the Sutra Library. His understanding of formations is no worse than that of the second-level formation masters in the Formation Hall, so he saw the peculiarity of the soul gathering place below at a glance.

After standing in the air and observing for three days and three nights, Sun Yi called on Elder Jin Jue to take Sun Yi with him to descend.

But when they approached the Soul Refining Valley, they felt a suction force coming from the black vortex.

Being in this suction force, Sun Yi's whole body trembled, and he felt as if his soul was about to be sucked out. An extremely uncomfortable feeling came over him.

Elder Jin Jue, however, didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Elder Jin Jue, stay away from the black vortex in the center and land on the side." Sun Yi spoke with difficulty. Only then did Elder Jin Jue realize that something was wrong with Sun Yi.

Elder Jin Jue quickly took Sun Yi away from the black vortex and came to the edge of the Soul Refining Valley. The black vortex had little impact on this place, and Sun Yi finally came to his senses.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Elder Jin Jue looked at Sun Yi with concern.

Sun Yi exhaled and shook his head: "I'm fine, weren't you affected just now?"

Elder Jin Jue shook his head and replied, "No."

"It seems that the black vortex in the center is only useful to cultivators with lower cultivation levels. I wonder what's going on below."

"Let's go down and take a look from the edge."

After Elder Jin Jue finished speaking, he took Sun Yi and descended from the edge.

They had just landed not long when they suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings nearby, and a black cloud was rushing towards Sun Yi and his group not far away.

Sun Yi took a closer look and saw that what were flying towards them were red-eyed ghost birds that were one foot in size.

This red-eyed ghost bird is also a kind of ghost, and a very powerful one. It can devour spiritual energy and is also very fast.

The number of red-eyed ghost birds in front of us is astonishing, at least more than two thousand, and the red-eyed ghost birds with the highest cultivation level have reached the late foundation-building stage. There are still quite a few of them, more than twenty of these red-eyed ghost birds.

"Be careful, the red-eyed ghost birds are very difficult ghosts." After giving a reminder, Elder Jin Jue pointed at the red-eyed ghost birds flying over. A thick sword energy shot out, instantly smashing more than a dozen red-eyed ghost birds to pieces.

But the surrounding red-eyed ghost birds wrapped around it and quickly swallowed up the sword energy.

"It can even swallow sword energy. This red-eyed ghost bird is very powerful." Sun Yi looked at the red-eyed ghost bird in shock.

After absorbing the sword energy emitted by Elder Jin Jue, these red-eyed ghost birds continued to pounce towards them. Elder Jin Jue snorted coldly and continued to emit sword energy.

One after another, the red-eyed ghost birds died at the hands of Elder Jin Jue. It seemed that Elder Jin Jue had the upper hand, but his true energy was being consumed very quickly.

"Elder Jin Jue, let's go down first. Fighting in the air is not good for us." Sun Yi looked around and saw that they were not far from the bottom of the valley.

"it is good!"

Elder Jin Jue quickly dragged Sun Yi to the bottom of the valley, and in the blink of an eye they both reached the bottom.

The bottom of the entire Soul Refining Valley was like a Gobi Desert, with countless gravel scattered on the ground. There were also many skeletons buried in the sand and gravel, including human skeletons and monster skeletons, and the number was very large.

The bottom of the valley was dark, and the vision was greatly affected here, and the spiritual sense could not extend out. They had just landed at the bottom of the valley when the red-eyed ghost bird in the sky chased them.

"Elder Jin Jue, I'm here to help too." Sun Yi took a step forward, and with a thought, the Dragon Roar Sword flew out from his dantian, suddenly turning into five sword lights and killing towards the red-eyed ghost bird.

Puff puff puff!

In an instant, five red-eyed ghost birds below the foundation-building stage were blown up by Sun Yi. Sun Yi continued to activate the sword technique, and five sword lights continued to kill the red-eyed ghost birds. After killing a few more red-eyed ghost birds, Sun Yi's sword light was swallowed by the red-eyed ghost birds, but the Dragon Roar Sword flew back.

In just a short while, Sun Yi killed dozens of red-eyed ghost birds, which was many times less than the number hunted by Elder Jin Jue.

Just as they were concentrating on dealing with the red-eyed ghost bird in the sky, suddenly a hissing sound was heard around them. They saw black shadows flashing in the surrounding black fog, and something was approaching them.
