These experts from the Huai Su Sect were clearly the source of confidence for the people in the valley.
The Huai Su Sect had many experts nearby, leading him to speculate.
Could it be that most of the Huai Su Sect's experts actually lived in the Southern Border?
With the death of these sixteen Huai Su Sect experts, another group of Huai Su Sect experts surged forth, numbering over thirty.
Thirty-four Huai Su Sect experts fell again, disappearing into the vast forest below.
If there were no Huai Su Sect disciples to receive it, the Outer Heavenly Evil Demon would not be able to send down its power.
The fear was that there would be someone to receive it.
This kind of reception was not something that could be achieved through casual prayer, but required special evil artifacts.
Most likely, it was that largest golden statue.
"Hey, to be honest, Young Master, this is the first time I, Xu Haode, have stormed into the main altar of an evil sect. It's really exhilarating! Ha! It's really exhilarating!"
"It's also my first time, treading cautiously, as if walking on thin ice."
"Young Master, you are indeed careful and prudent," Xu Haode agreed deeply. "If I had your abilities, Young Master, I would have directly charged in with my blade and slaughtered them all in one go."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head. "They are supported by the power of the Outer Heavenly Evil. Unless this power is consumed to a certain extent, we may not be able to kill them."
"Hmm—"
Xu Haode thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. "That's right, we must first exhaust their power before killing them. You're still the most steady, Young Master!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled. "There's no other way. No one knows how strong these Outer Heavenly Evil Demons are, so we must be careful not to be defeated by them."
Xu Haode nodded vigorously.
He realized that he had underestimated the power of the Outer Heavenly Evil.
It turned out that the power of the Outer Heavenly Evil was far beyond what he could handle and devour.
If he had really devoured the power of the Evil Demon, he would already be dead.
He should be glad that he had been cautious enough in the past and had not rashly broken into the main altar.
Chu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to go inside, but waited beside Xu Haode for him to circulate his energy and heal his injuries.
After three waves, there was no more movement. The nearby disciples of the Huai Su Sect had obviously all come over and been wiped out.
Xu Haode couldn't wait to stride inside. "Young Master, let's see what good things are inside!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and walked with him into the valley.
His intuition no longer warned him, and he stepped in with confidence.
The valley was eerily silent. Everything seemed to have stopped. There were no birds or insects, no sound of wind, only the sound of their footsteps.
The huge golden statue facing the valley entrance overlooked the entire valley, overlooking the intrusion of the two.
On either side of the giant statue were two golden statues, each the height of a person, as if they were real people.
Chu Zhiyuan went straight to the giant statue, swept away the bones with a wave of his sleeve, revealing the white jade ground below, revealing the strange patterns carved into the white jade ground.
Under Chu Zhiyuan's observation, he felt something was wrong, as if an invisible force was preventing him from seeing through it.
This force did not come from the alien power of the heavens, but from the power of the earth.
He closed his eyes and then opened them.
Sure enough, these patterns could not be remembered. It was the phoenix pattern again.
He had not been able to unravel the mystery of this phoenix pattern to this day. When he first discovered it, he thought he would be able to understand it when his cultivation was higher.
His cultivation had already reached the Second Level of the Grandmaster Realm, but he still knew nothing about the mysteries of the phoenix pattern.
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and turned to look at Xu Haode, who was examining the golden statue. "Mr. Xu, I would like to take these jade stones back to study."
"Is this the key to the formation?" Xu Haode asked.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded. "Most likely, they are related to them."
"Young Master, just take them," Xu Haode nodded readily.
Chu Zhiyuan looked around. "This is the main altar, there should be many treasures hidden here."
"There must be treasures," Xu Haode said. "Young Master is going to make a fortune."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "It's a pity that Mr. Xu, you didn't get your wish."
Xu Haode originally wanted to devour the alien power of the heavens, the power of the Evil Demon, to help his cultivation.
Now it seemed that the power of the Evil Demon could not be devoured.
Xu Haode waved his hand. "I was just trying it out. If it really doesn't work, there's nothing I can do. - In any case, killing these guys is a great thing worth celebrating!"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
He had already seen that Xu Haode's favorite thing at heart was to kill the demonic people of the evil sect.
Devouring the power of the Evil Demon to strengthen his cultivation was not the most fundamental thing. The fundamental thing was still killing the demonic people and destroying the evil sect.
His hatred for the evil sect was no less than his own, and the satisfaction and pleasure he derived from killing the demonic people was no less than his own.
"The most enjoyable thing in this world is to kill the demonic people and destroy the evil sect," Xu Haode said with emotion. "These guys shouldn't be alive in this world!"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Xu Haode said, "Young Master may think I'm being pretentious, being a descendant of the Evil Emperor, but hating the evil sect so much is ridiculous."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
Xu Haode said lightly, "My parents and siblings, a family of seven, all died at the hands of the demonic people."
Chu Zhiyuan was taken aback.
He really didn't know this.
"At that time, I was only three years old. I remember that scene clearly, and I will never forget it," Xu Haode looked up at the sky.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
Whether it was in the Moon Invitation Palace or the Supervisory Division, there was no mention of this in Xu Haode's information.
The records all stated that he was an orphan, but there was no record of why he became an orphan.
A look of ferocity and gloom flashed across Xu Haode's face. "At that time, I vowed to exterminate all the demonic people of the evil sect in the world, leaving not a single one behind!"
Chu Zhiyuan said slowly, "The demonic people of the evil sect, everyone has the right to kill them!"
"That's right, everyone has the right to kill them!" Xu Haode gritted his teeth. "But how many people in this world can really do this?"
He looked at Chu Zhiyuan:
"In my life, I have only seen you, Young Master!"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "May all the demonic people in the world be subdued and killed."
"This is also my wish!" Xu Haode said in a deep voice. "Being able to help Young Master is enough for Xu!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled. "Then let's encourage each other and continue killing."
Xu Haode pointed to the surroundings. "Everything here belongs to Young Master. Xu will not take a single cent."
Chu Zhiyuan quickly said, "That's not possible."
Xu Haode said, "Young Master doesn't mind me being a burden and allows me to help you by your side, which is enough for Xu!"
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand. "Mr. Xu, this is not a long-term solution. We will eventually have to continue working together."
"Then let's do this, if we come across a treasure, I'll take one each time."
"... Alright," Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.
Xu Haode smiled. "I'll go look and see what treasures these guys have hidden!"
He went into the only main hall.
Chu Zhiyuan examined the five golden statues.
There were still a few red lines distributed on the bodies of the statues that were the height of a person.
And on the body of the largest statue, there was only one thick black line leading straight to the sky, and there were no red lines at all.
Chu Zhiyuan carefully felt this black line and compared it to the golden statue of the Yu Tian Sect.
The thickness of the black lines of the two was different, almost by half.
On the other side, Xu Haode brought over boxes one by one.
In a short while, they formed a large pile.
Although Chu Zhiyuan had observed them in advance, he couldn't help but look over at this time.
These boxes were scattered everywhere and were not very eye-catching, but when they were put together, they were very spectacular.
