Chapter 299 Demon Valley

A month was very short.

It ended before Xu Changge could even react.

At this moment, Su Bai was sound asleep, hugging a huge wine jar.

Her two bare feet were casually exposed.

Her shoes had been kicked to the side.

For the past month, Su Bai and Xu Changge had been fishing and drinking by the river.

"Time actually passes so quickly."

Xu Changge sighed with emotion.

She glanced at the still sleeping Su Bai, and her lips moved slightly.

She had just taken a step, intending to walk to Su Bai's side, but then pulled her foot back.

"It's only seventy or eighty years, why be in such a hurry?"

Xu Changge murmured softly, looking at Su Bai's face.

Then she turned and left.

Lü Hong watched Xu Changge leave, sighing inwardly.

During this month, Su Bai and Xu Changge spent most of their time together drinking and discussing the Dao.

It seemed there was a certain unspoken understanding between them.

Neither chose to break the peaceful time.

After Xu Changge left.

Su Bai slept until she woke up naturally.

When Su Bai opened her eyes, she saw the setting sun and Lü Hong sitting beside her.

"Ah~"

She stretched, yawned, and asked calmly:

"Has Changge left?"

"Yes, Aunt Xu left in the morning."

"Then let's set off too; that was a really comfortable sleep."

Su Bai shook her head, seemingly having anticipated Xu Changge's departure.

"Let's take Fellow Daoist Yan and head to the chaotic lands."

Her tone was full of anticipation for that place.

Su Bai was in a good mood at this time.

This was also something Lü Hong couldn't understand.

Logically speaking, shouldn't separation bring sadness?

"Su Yi, you and Aunt Xu won't see each other for a long time now, aren't you sad?"

"Moreover, you didn't say your goodbyes in person."

Lü Hong couldn't understand this kind of unspoken understanding.

Or was it because she was present?

So Su Yi and Aunt Xu had already said their goodbyes through sound transmission.

Su Bai tidied her robes.

"Xiao Hong, as a Cultivator, you must know what you want."

"Changge is not the kind of Cultivator who is trapped by petty affections. In the past, she became stronger for her Family; now that her Family has been rebuilt, she naturally needs to change her goal and pursue a higher Realm."

"If mere separation could destabilize her Dao Heart, how could she go further in the future?"

"You should observe more in the future."

"Besides, in terms of saying goodbye, this month of companionship already counts as a farewell."

Su Bai felt that Lü Hong could also learn from the way she and Xu Changge interacted.

Sometimes, things don't necessarily need a clear outcome.

Lü Hong indicated that she didn't quite understand this.

If she were Xu Changge, she wouldn't be so restrained.

But Su Yi told her to understand what she wanted…

Lü Hong had the answer in her heart.

Before the sun set.

Su Bai and Lü Hong picked up Yan Lei.

They directly left the Qingzhu Sword Sect.

Xu Changge watched the distant, dark ebony boat in the sky, then turned and returned to her Immortal Cave, no longer paying attention.

…

Su Bai steered the ebony boat, taking four years to leave Zhang Country and enter Li Country.

She then flew for another six years within Li Country.

It took a total of ten years to fly from Zhang Country to Li Country, and then continue north to find the chaotic lands.

Su Bai stood at the bow of the boat, gazing into the distance.

At this point, they were already far from Li Country.

After flying another ten thousand li.

They finally saw a mountain range in the distance.

That mountain range was the Demon Beast Mountain Range of the northern lands.

Coming here from Zhang Country shouldn't have taken ten years at the speed of the ebony boat.

However, Su Bai had slowed down to be safer, choosing to first improve her strength before coming.

Now, her Spiritual Qi was full sixty-seven times, entering the Core Formation Seventh Layer, making her a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator.

In the entire Great Yue Cultivation World, she was already a Cultivator standing at the peak.

The Cultivator: Jie Xiu existing in this chaotic area were certainly not benevolent.

Perhaps there was a Nascent Soul Cultivator behind them.

Limited by the Cultivation resources of the Great Yue Cultivation World.

Even if there was a Nascent Soul Cultivator here, it would only be a Yuanying Stage (Initial Stage).

So Su Bai, with her Core Formation Late Stage cultivation, didn't need to worry about being troubled.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, when you were threatened by the Nascent Soul Yin Corpse in Xingluo City and wanted to come here, do you have a suitable connection here?"

Yan Lei's hair was already gray at this time.

The wrinkles on his face were even more pronounced.

He had originally looked like a robust middle-aged man in his thirties, but now, by appearance, he was nearing sixty.

With Su Bai's Medicinal Pills and prepared Spirit Stones, his Cultivation speed hadn't fallen behind.

However, Lifespan was still a problem.

But Yan Lei didn't care about his gradually aging appearance.

As long as his cultivation Breakthrough, he could still return to his youth.

Now, Yan Lei nodded upon hearing Su Bai's words.

"When I was young, I struggled together with a few friends."

"But they stopped early, and because their reputation was too bad and they didn't want to change their identities, they didn't stay in Zhang Country and simply came here."

"So many years have passed, and I don't know how many are still alive."

"Now I just hope they still recognize me as a brother."

As Yan Lei spoke, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

When he said 'struggled', he was referring to being a Cultivator: Jie Xiu.

One could easily imagine what kind of people they were.

Su Bai looked at this place, known as the chaotic lands.

Besides being located in a remote area, due to geographical reasons, the temperature here was also much lower.

The mountain peaks were covered in ice and snow year-round.

Even the exposed rocks were mostly black, and just by their appearance, they felt hard and sturdy.

Most of the houses here were built using such black rock.

The Spiritual Qi was also quite abundant.

For Cultivators, it was a decent place for Cultivation.

The Cultivation environment here might be a bit harsh, but the Spiritual Qi concentration was no worse than Tianyun City.

"Then let's go, let's go see your friends."

Su Bai chuckled softly.

The ebony boat flew towards the mountain range.

This chaotic land was different from Xingluo City and Tianyun City where Su Bai had lived before.

There were no city walls, and the streets were messy.

Except for the best Spiritual Vein areas, the Immortal Caves on the surrounding mountains belonged to whoever was strongest.

Since there were no city walls, there was naturally no fee to pay upon entry.

Of course, though called the chaotic lands, there were still basic rules.

After all, no matter who ruled here, they wouldn't want their territory to be completely chaotic and unmanageable.

As the ebony boat approached.

Su Bai saw a bare mountain range in the distance.

There was nothing on the tall mountain range, only a few large characters carved into it.

"Fierce Demon Valley."

As the ebony boat drew near, Su Bai felt several Divine Senses sweep towards them.

Su Bai merely snorted coldly.

She released the aura of her Core Formation Late Stage cultivation.

Those Divine Senses then retracted.

And some secretly prying gazes also vanished directly.

Only a few gazes remained, seemingly quite confident, ignoring Su Bai's displeasure and continuing to stare at them.

After passing over that huge mountain peak, they directly entered the Fierce Demon Valley.

Yan Lei said to Su Bai:

"Senior, you should find a place to rest first, and wait for my news."

Having said that, Yan Lei left behind the Gu worm for contacting him and directly jumped off the ebony boat.
