Chapter 796: Poisonous Miasma Abyss
Chen Yile and the other two had just eliminated the spy Zhang Ming in the Hall of King Yan, and they immediately launched a new operation based on the information provided by Zhang Ming.
During the trial, Zhang Ming revealed that Ling Xuzi had four powerful protectors. If anyone wanted to deal with Ling Xuzi, it would be best to get rid of the four protectors first.
In addition to the "ghost market merchant" Xiao Guangjun who was eliminated by them before, there are also the "ruthless and poisonous cultivator" Qi Shenzhi, the "Yanglin hermit" Li Yixin and the "Red Mansion's top girl" Hu Li.
The three decided to pull out these nails one by one.
Qi Shenzhi is currently hiding in a secret place called "Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons".
The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is located in an uninhabited valley in the southeast of the underworld. It is shrouded in thick poisonous miasma all year round, and the valley is full of poisonous insects and deadly traps.
According to rumors, the poisonous fog in the valley can corrode all living things, and even monks with profound cultivation can die instantly.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons has always been a forbidden area for cultivators. Qi Shenzhi chose this place as his hiding place, obviously hoping to use the poisonous miasma barrier in the valley to avoid being hunted down."
Chen Yile flipped through the map Zhang Ming had drawn while saying, "But we can't let him continue to get away with it. He holds important information about Yama Palace. If Ling Xuzi were to use it, the consequences would be disastrous."
Yan Zhen nodded. "That's right. Qi Shenzhi himself is a difficult character. Rumor has it that he has mastered a poisonous technique that allows him to transform into a poisonous mist and control poisonous insects to fight. We must be careful."
Li Xixi, on the other hand, was rubbing her hands together, "Great! I haven't encountered such a strong opponent in a long time. This time, I must tear Qi Shenzhi into pieces!"
After the three of them finished their discussion, they quickly set off for the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
However, the location of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is extremely secretive, and the roads marked on the map are full of ambiguity and misleading.
The three had to rely on the vague clues provided by Zhang Ming and travel through the mountains for several days.
Finally, in the evening of the third day, the three arrived at the entrance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Before my eyes was a gray valley. Poisonous fog swirled in the valley like thick smoke, and the air was filled with a pungent fishy smell.
As the three of them approached, they felt a scorching miasma blowing towards them.
"The concentration of the poisonous miasma here is even higher than I imagined." Li Xixi frowned and said, "If an ordinary person inhales even a trace of it, they will die instantly."
Yan Zhen took out a jade talisman, spiritual energy flowing through its surface. "We must proceed with caution. Li Xixi, can your King Yan's bloodline temporarily provide protection for the three of us?"
Li Xixi nodded and formed hand seals. A pale blue light rose from her hands, forming a thin barrier around the three of them.
"This barrier can temporarily resist the erosion of the poisonous miasma," Li Xixi explained, "but the poisonous miasma here is too overbearing, and the barrier will gradually corrode over time. We must find Qi Shenzhi as soon as possible and end the battle."
Yan Zhenze had already begun to carefully observe the surrounding terrain: "Do you see any symbols on the stone wall over there? This might be a trap set by Qi Shenzhi."
Chen Yile took a closer look and indeed found some strange symbols carved on the stone wall, which seemed to be the mark of some kind of formation.
"That's right. It seems Qi Shenzhi has set up a large poison array here. We must be careful not to trigger any mechanisms."
As the three of them were moving forward cautiously, Yan Zhen suddenly squatted down and said, "Wait! I noticed something is wrong with the ground beneath my feet."
There was only a tiny crack on the ground, and some black liquid could be vaguely seen flowing around the crack.
Yan Zhen reached out and picked up a dead branch, gently picking up a little black liquid.
"This is highly poisonous!" Yan Zhen frowned and said, "Once this liquid touched the dead branches, they withered instantly."
Chen Yile immediately warned, "Everyone, watch your step! Qi Shenzhi has clearly set up a lot of traps in this area."
The three of them carefully bypassed the area and continued to move deeper into the valley.
However, the deeper they went into the valley, the higher the concentration of the poisonous miasma became.
Tiny cracks had begun to appear on Li Xixi's barrier, and her face gradually turned pale.
"We can't go on like this." Li Xixi whispered, "The barrier can't hold out for much longer."
At this moment, Yan Zhen suddenly discovered something.
"Look! There's a stone tablet over there! It seems to have the core location of the formation engraved on it!"
The three of them quickly ran towards the stone tablet. Sure enough, a complex array diagram was engraved on it, showing the layout of the poison arrays in the entire Ten Thousand Poison Valley.
"It seems Qi Shenzhi has transformed the entire valley into a massive poison formation," Chen Yile said, pointing at the formation diagram. "If we can find the center of the formation, we might be able to destroy the entire poison formation in one fell swoop."
At this moment, a sinister laugh suddenly came from above: "Have you found my formation diagram? Unfortunately, you have fallen into my trap!"
The three looked up and saw a man in a black robe with a ferocious face floating in the air.
Thick poisonous fog surrounded him, as if his entire body was made of condensed poison gas.
"Qi Shenzhi!" Chen Yile shouted angrily, "You are so arrogant!"
Qi Shenzhi laughed heartily. "Arrogant? I just knew you'd come looking for me! You think you can block my poisonous miasma with just a mere barrier? How ridiculous!"
Before he finished speaking, the poisonous mist around Qi Shenzhi suddenly exploded and turned into countless streams that attacked the three people.
At the same time, several huge poisonous spiders suddenly appeared in the air and pounced towards the three people with their fangs and claws bared.
"Be careful!" Li Xixi quickly strengthened the strength of the barrier.
However, Qi Shenzhi's attack was clearly well-prepared. He let out a strange laugh, "Foolish child, how long do you think this barrier can protect you? My poisonous mist will slowly corrode your soul!"
Chen Yile drew his sword and fought back: "Don't be so arrogant! Take my sword!"
The sword light was like a rainbow, and Chen Yile cut off a poisonous spider with one sword.
However, more poisonous spiders and poisonous puppets followed, and the three of them soon fell into a bitter battle.
"These poison puppets were all made by Qi Shenzhi using the extremely poisonous substances in the valley." Yan Zhen said as he swung his double maces to repel a poisonous spider. "Their attacks are extremely poisonous. If you come into contact with them, you will be poisoned to death!"
After Chen Yile killed several poisonous puppets with a few consecutive swords, he felt dizzy.
It turned out that he had accidentally inhaled a trace of poisonous mist.
"No! I have to find a way to purify the air!"
Li Xixi immediately took out a jade talisman and drew a rune in the air.
A breeze suddenly came from the sky, dispersing some of the surrounding poisonous fog.
"It's okay for now." Li Xixi said, "But we must find the center of the formation as soon as possible!"
Yan Zhen suddenly had an idea: "I know how to break the deadlock! The core of these poison arrays should be a 'Soul-Eating Poison Pill'! As long as it is destroyed, the entire poison array will collapse!"
