Chapter 338: Appearing, Invited into Lingyao Valley

Ignoring Cloud Town Evil, who was continuously spewing all sorts of filth and clamoring incessantly, Hong Hu’s gaze passed over him and looked toward the Lingyao Valley that he was approaching.

His hand reached toward his Storage Pouch.

Inside it was a fourth-tier Talisman, his trump card for survival.

Even if he encountered Li Hun, he was confident he could escape immediately!

This was also the reason Hong Hu dared to chase him to Lingyao Valley.

Cloud Town Evil’s speed increased once again.

In the blink of an eye, he widened the distance between himself and Hong Hu.

This caused a trace of astonishment to appear in Hong Hu’s eyes.

He actually still had energy to spare!

Although there was a small Realm gap between the seventh layer of Core Formation and the ninth layer of Core Formation, Cloud Town Evil was definitely not Hong Hu’s match in a direct fight.

But when it came to speed, Cloud Town Evil was very confident.

Back when he was in the Core Formation Middle Stage, he had competed in speed with a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator from Fierce Demon Valley, and he hadn't fallen behind at that time.

It was the same now when facing Hong Hu.

Taking advantage of Hong Hu’s moment of distraction, Cloud Town Evil had already rushed into Lingyao Valley.

Just as Cloud Town Evil entered the valley, a layer of spiritual power shield appeared, enveloping Lingyao Valley within it.

Upon seeing the Formation, Hong Hu’s figure instantly stopped from his high-speed pursuit.

Stopping in mid-air, Hong Hu frowned as he looked at the Formation before him.

He remembered that Fierce Demon Valley didn't have a Formation before…

It seemed that after changing the Valley Master, this place had changed a lot.

Besides the Formation, Hong Hu looked at the mountain peak standing at the entrance of the valley.

The original three characters for "Fierce Demon Valley" were already gone.

They had been replaced by "Lingyao Valley".

However, even through the Formation, one could still see inside Lingyao Valley.

Hong Hu glanced at Cloud Town Evil, who was awkwardly supporting himself with his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

Then, his gaze continued to look into the valley.

The impression of a pitch-black place, with mountains covered in Dark Radiance Stones everywhere, had disappeared.

The current Lingyao Valley was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

It was full of greenery.

"Hahaha, Red Beard, you actually dared to chase me here; are you not afraid of death!"

Cloud Town Evil’s arrogant laughter interrupted Hong Hu’s memories.

He saw the changes in Fierce Demon Valley with his own eyes.

At this moment, he didn't care at all about Cloud Town Evil’s mockery.

"Hmph, it was only because the Six Sects were soft-hearted back then and didn't completely level this place; otherwise, a scoundrel like you wouldn't have the chance to laugh here."

Regardless of what Hong Hu was thinking inside, he couldn't lose the verbal battle.

Cloud Town Evil had been spewing filth at him for so long; he had to retort a couple of times.

Cloud Town Evil and Hong Hu continued to curse at each other across the Formation.

One shouted that if he had the ability, he should come in.

The other directly called him a coward and a tortoise hiding its head.

But neither of them moved; they just let their lips flap and saliva fly.

After cursing for a while, Cloud Town Evil felt a bit bored.

For a dignified Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator to be here cursing at each other, it was somewhat disgraceful.

However, through the venting just now, the resentment he felt from being chased by Hong Hu all the way had been vented quite a bit.

He would wait for the Valley Master to handle this matter later.

Thinking this, Cloud Town Evil intended to go to the Yin Demon Hall to inform Su Bai about this matter.

Just as he was about to turn around, his body suddenly froze.

It seems there is no need to inform her…

Hong Hu watched as Cloud Town Evil, who had been cursing at him for a long time and then stopped on his own, and was about to turn and leave, suddenly looked at him with great interest.

It seemed as if he was watching a show.

No! Not looking at him, but behind him!

Hong Hu suddenly reacted, and at this moment, he felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

He quickly turned his head and put distance between them.

He instantly retreated more than a hundred zhang.

Hong Hu looked at the little figure that had appeared in his line of sight with lingering fear.

His heart was filled with lingering fear.

When did she get behind me!

If this person had attacked just now, he would have been killed instantly without even having a chance to use his trump card.

A drop of cold sweat fell from Hong Hu’s forehead.

He stared fixedly at Su Bai, paying attention to her movements at all times.

He didn't sense any aura.

Only then did Hong Hu realize Su Bai’s cultivation base.

It was Core Formation Late Stage.

No, this person’s cultivation base absolutely couldn't be this simple!

I'm afraid Core Formation Late Stage is just a disguise!

At this moment, Su Bai crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly.

Is this Hong Hu?

Besides the red hair and red beard being a bit unique, he seemed like just an ordinary Cultivator.

Moreover, it was very simple for a Cultivator to change the color of their hair.

If she wanted to, Su Bai could even dye herself into a head of white hair.

Su Bai looked at Hong Hu and asked directly:

"Hey, are you Fellow Daoist Hong Hu?"

Hearing Su Bai’s voice, it was youthful, matching her appearance, and the voice was very sweet.

But a Cultivator cannot be deceived by appearances.

Hong Hu frowned and replied with a grave expression:

"I am indeed Hong Hu. May I ask who you are, Fairy…"

"I am Su Bai, the Valley Master of this Lingyao Valley."

"What?!"

Hong Hu widened his eyes.

He had been curious about the Valley Master here earlier.

He didn't expect to see her so soon.

After learning Su Bai’s identity, Hong Hu became even more cautious when facing her.

To be able to train the villains of Fierce Demon Valley to be so well-behaved, as the Valley Master, she must have extraordinary qualities.

Just the fact that she could approach him silently earlier was not something an ordinary Cultivator could do.

Hong Hu faced Su Bai and cupped his hands from a distance:

"So you are the Valley Master of Lingyao Valley. Now that I see the real person, you are indeed extraordinary."

Facing these compliments, Su Bai just nodded.

She didn't respond.

This made Hong Hu somewhat awkward.

Although Su Bai had startled him earlier, he had now recovered.

After sensing carefully, he found that Su Bai was indeed at the Core Formation Late Stage and didn't seem to be using any disguise.

This made Hong Hu sigh in relief, but also feel a bit strange.

How did someone only at the Core Formation Late Stage become the Valley Master?

Not to mention other Core Formation Late Stage Cultivators, even Cloud Town Evil wouldn't be this obedient.

Before Su Bai made a move, Hong Hu intended to wait and see.

He would make different responses based on Su Bai’s subsequent reactions.

And after observing Hong Hu, Su Bai found that apart from his hair, there didn't seem to be anything special about him.

She then said:

"Fellow Daoist Hong, would you like to enter my Lingyao Valley for a chat?"

Hong Hu was a bit hesitant about Su Bai’s invitation.

He looked with wide eyes at the Lingyao Valley, which had already activated its Formation on one side.

And then looked at Cloud Town Evil, who was hiding inside the Formation and looking at him with a full face of smiles.

He was a bit worried if there was a trap inside; after all, this was someone else’s territory.

Su Bai saw Hong Hu’s worry.

"If Fellow Daoist is unwilling, then we can chat right here."

Saying this, Su Bai took out a set of tea utensils from her Storage Pouch.

Seeing this, Hong Hu thought that since the other party was so open, what was there for him to fear?

Moreover, he had a fourth-tier Talisman, the Golden Light Escape Talisman; even a third-tier Formation wouldn't be able to trap him.

So he agreed.

"Since the Valley Master invited me, then let’s go."

"Then Fellow Daoist, follow me."

Seeing Hong Hu agree, Su Bai waved her hand, dispelled the Formation, and led Hong Hu as they flew into Lingyao Valley.
