Chapter 3880: Long Xuanzhen Falls into the Path of Evil

“Be careful, everyone. In places like the Dark Valley, Demonic Beasts might be lurking…”

“Also, if you encounter people here, you must be careful. They might be Dark Ghost Immortals…”

Su Hongye followed Ye Bufan and the others, her small mouth chattering incessantly, constantly warning everyone about the dangers of the place.

Ye Bufan had obtained a lot of information about the Burial Immortal Valley from Chuyun Fairy, but for an Immortal Venerable Peak, the focus was only on the Ten Major Forbidden Zones and their internal situations, with not much introduction to the outer areas.

The appearance of the little girl Su Hongye just made up for this shortcoming.

Since he had nothing else to do, Ye Bufan tried to gather as much information as possible and asked, “Are the Dark Ghost Immortals here different from us?”

“Of course, they are different. They Cultivate dark Cultivation Techniques, and the dense Dark Qi here is the best resource for them.”

“While we absorb Immortal Spiritual Qi, our strength will be greatly suppressed here, and once we consume too much, it will be difficult to replenish it in a short time.”

“Normally, your strength from the outside can only be exerted up to 80% here, and it’s not suitable for prolonged battles.”

“Once you encounter a Dark Ghost Immortal of the same Cultivation, you will definitely not be their opponent, so you must be careful and avoid conflicts as much as possible if unnecessary…”

Su Hongye was very enthusiastic and articulate, quickly explaining the situation of the Dark Ghost Immortals clearly.

Ye Bufan then asked, “What are the Demonic Beasts you mentioned? Are they Immortal Demon Beasts, and are they different from those outside?”

“They are basically similar, except that the Immortal Demon Beasts that grew up in this dark environment are all dark-attributed, and relatively more troublesome.”

“The outer area of the Burial Immortal Valley is divided into Nine Heavens. This is the area everyone has designated. Generally speaking, for Great Luo Immortal Cultivation like yours, you should not go deeper than the Eighth Heaven, otherwise, it will be very, very dangerous…”

The little girl always drew inferences, and for every question, she would explain all the relevant information clearly.

Ye Bufan said, “What is the Nine Heavens divided based on?”

“Of course, it’s based on strength and danger level.”

Su Hongye said, “The deeper you go into the Burial Immortal Valley, the more dangerous it becomes. The outer area is fine, with relatively weaker Dark Ghost Immortals and Demonic Beasts, but inside, it’s different.”

“By the Eighth Heaven, their strength is absolutely no less than a Great Luo Immortal, and the Ninth Heaven is already comparable to an Immortal King.”

“Moreover, affected by the Dark Qi, the same level of strength here is definitely stronger than our combat power…”

As they spoke, they had completely entered the Burial Immortal Valley. It was pitch black all around, without a hint of sunlight.

Fortunately, the Dark Qi did not suppress Divine Sense, so it did not affect everyone’s ability to observe their surroundings and continue moving forward.

Having asked almost everything about the Burial Immortal Valley, Ye Bufan changed the topic: “Is your Master afflicted by Devilish Qi entering her body?”

“How did you know?”

Su Hongye was a bit surprised. She had only said that her Master was ill, but hadn’t specified the condition.

“It’s simple, I am a doctor.”

Ye Bufan said, “The half moon ink lotus is a tenth-grade Spirit Medicine, a kind of immortal spirit grass that grows in Dark Qi.”

“But it has an excellent effect on Devilish Qi entering the body, just like in places where certain poisonous insects are active, there will inevitably be immortal spirit grass that counteracts their venom. This is also part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.”

“Senior Brother Ye, you know so much, and you’re even a doctor, that’s truly amazing.”

The little girl looked at Ye Bufan, her eyes sparkling brightly.

“Senior Brother Ye, after we get out, can you treat my Master’s illness?”

“Yes.”

Ye Bufan still had a good impression of Su Hongye. “However, if your Master’s illness is merely Devilish Qi entering her body and cannot be removed, then bringing back the half moon ink lotus will be enough.”

“If the half moon ink lotus isn’t found, or if there are other symptoms, I can help treat it.”

The little girl was full of joy: “Senior Brother Ye, if there’s no half moon ink lotus, can you still treat my Master? But we’ve looked for many doctors before, and none of them could do it.”

Ye Bufan didn’t say much, just smiled slightly: “What they can’t do, I can.”

“That’s great, Senior Brother Ye, please don’t break your promise, you must cure my Master.”

Su Hongye’s face was filled with joy and pleading.

“Don’t worry, I am a doctor, and I always keep my word.”

Ye Bufan said, “By the way, with the strength of you and your Senior Brother, why didn’t you participate in the Hundred Sects Tournament?”

Although cultivators’ appearances do not reveal their age, he had a hunch that the two people in front of him were probably under a thousand years old.

“Because we belong to the same Heaven Domain as the Zhao family of the Seven Great Families. With them there, it’s impossible for our Sect to get a spot.”

At this point, Su Hongye sighed, “Plus, Master’s condition was getting worse, so we were busy seeking medical help everywhere and didn’t even have time to watch the competition in person.”

Ye Bufan nodded slightly, finding the reason why these two people didn’t recognize him.

“Senior Brother Ye, as long as you can cure my Master, from now on, Hongye’s life is yours. I will do whatever you ask me to do.”

The little girl’s eyes were moist, still thinking about this matter, clearly having deep affection for her Master.

And just then, as soon as her voice fell, a figure swiftly appeared from the darkness, blocking their path.

Devilish Qi surged, and murderous intent permeated the air, making everyone present feel a chill.

“It’s you!”

Upon seeing who it was, Ye Bufan, Luo Bingyan, and the others were all startled.

The dark figure that appeared was none other than Long Xuanzhen, the former head of the Long Family. During the Three Families Alliance, the Long Family was defeated and later expelled by Ye Bufan, with no news of him afterward. They never expected him to appear here.

But at this moment, Long Xuanzhen was completely different from before, practically a changed man. His entire body was engulfed in surging Devilish Qi, and his eyes were blood-red, clearly having become a Dark Ghost Immortal.

Moreover, his aura was powerful, having reached the Peak of a Ghost Immortal King.

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect you to still recognize this old man!”

Long Xuanzhen let out a series of unpleasant, strange laughs, sending shivers down one’s spine in the darkness.

His blood-red eyes stared at Ye Bufan, filled with monstrous killing intent.

“Ye, this old man was just about to go out and kill you, but I didn’t expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep. It truly is fate.”

Ye Bufan’s expression was calm, without any fear in his eyes, he just shook his head slightly: “Long Xuanzhen, I didn’t expect you to fall into the Demonic Path.”

“This old man has fallen to this point, isn’t it all thanks to you?”

Long Xuanzhen said, occasionally gnashing his teeth, clearly filled with extreme hatred.

“If it weren’t for you, how could my Long Family have been defeated in the Three Families Alliance?”

“If it weren’t for you, how could our Long Family have lost Dragon Head Mountain, which has been passed down for generations?”

“If it weren’t for you, how could I, Long Xuanzhen, have run to the Burial Immortal Valley and ultimately Cultivated the Demonic Path!”

“Do you know how I’ve lived these past few days? Do you know how much hardship I’ve endured, how much suffering I’ve experienced Cultivating the Demonic Path?”

“All of this is thanks to you, so this old man will surely kill you today, and I will cut you into a thousand pieces.”

“I will flay your skin, pull out your tendons, extract your Primordial Spirit, and burn it with Yin fire for thousands of years!” As this fellow spoke, the intense hatred in his voice sent shivers down one’s spine.
