Three Great Super Sects already hid themselves away from the world, and the Nine Sects include the Sansheng Valley, Hunyuan Sect, and Buddhist Sect among others.

Let's not mention the super sects; even the weakest among the Nine Sects is much stronger than the great nations of the mainland.

Not to mention Nie Fengxing, a mere Tiger Wolf General, even if Emperor Beiqing himself arrived, he couldn't just barge in.

"What should we do then? Isn't Ling Yue in danger?" Lan Cai'er was about to cry.

"There's more peril than safety. In this situation, all she can do is pray for her own good fortune," Nie Fengxing said with regret.

Leaving aside the ancient creatures that may exist in Black Valley, the various mechanisms and guarding Spiritual Beasts left behind by the ancestors of the Three Sects and Nine Schools are challenging enough for Miss Lan of Lan Residence.

Not to mention, she had already been inside for one night; by now, probably not even a single bone was left.

"Achoo." Deep within Black Valley, Ye Lingyue, who was assumed to be one of those without even a bone remaining, let out an untimely loud sneeze.

Just a single sneeze attracted the attention of the surrounding Eighth and Ninth Stage Spiritual Beasts, all of whom simultaneously turned their heads.

"What a calamity!" Cold sweat dripped down Ye Lingyue's forehead as she held an empty Elixir Bottle.

Curiosity did indeed kill the cat.

She should never have heeded Little Zhiyo's coaxing to enter Black Valley.

Last night, under Little Zhiyo's encouragement, Ye Lingyue ventured into Black Valley, relying on her Invisibility Elixir.

Little did she know that Black Valley was much bigger than she thought, and the deeper she went, the more Spiritual Beasts there were.

Some Spiritual Beasts, which are rarely seen on the mainland, were as common as ants here.

Just now, a group of Ninth-grade Spiritual Beasts walked nonchalantly past Ye Lingyue, who was invisible.

To make matters worse, Ye Lingyue discovered that even the trees in Black Valley emitted a strange aura; these trees, clearly planted in the soil, could move.

Like this tree, similar to a willow, which was on the east side earlier, and now has already moved in front of her.

These moving trees and the copious advanced Spiritual Beasts quickly made Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo lose their way.

Ye Lingyue could only desperately consume Invisibility Elixirs, tiptoeing past these advanced Spiritual Beasts.

However, when she finished her last Invisibility Elixir, Ye Lingyue knew she was doomed.

Not to mention getting out, whether she could even survive for half an hour became a question.

Moreover, Ye Lingyue noticed that these Spiritual Beasts were very sensitive to smells, especially a few Ninth-grade Peak Spiritual Beasts, which seemed to have already caught the scent of humans, circling near her a few times.

"Little Zhiyo, you tricked me into coming here, so you must find a way to get me out," Ye Lingyue fiercely pulled Little Zhiyo, who blinked its large watery eyes innocently.

It had only sensed a very familiar aura in Black Valley and wanted to check it out; how could it know that there would be so many big creatures inside.

"Zhiyo (Don't worry, boss, I'll protect you.)" Just as the last bit of the Invisibility Elixir's effect wore off and Ye Lingyue became visible, Little Zhiyo let out a heroic roar.

Its small body quickly inflated and turned into a huge creature.

After transforming, Little Zhiyo crouched down, allowing Ye Lingyue to climb onto its back.

Just as Ye Lingyue sat down, a series of beast roars could be heard.

Several ninth-grade Spiritual Beasts discovered a human presence in the Black Valley and rushed over.

Roar——

Little Zhiyo roared dominantly.

Upon seeing this unfamiliar Spiritual Beast, the Spiritual Beasts of the Black Valley were all taken aback.

Where did this big guy come from? After transforming, Little Zhiyo's fur was gone, replaced by layers of pearl-like scale armor, and its teeth had turned into sharp fangs.

With a trunk two meters high, requiring two or three people to embrace it, its baby blue eyes had grown as large as lanterns, glaring menacingly at those reckless ninth-grade Spiritual Beasts.

Ye Lingyue sat atop Little Zhiyo, high and mighty, watching those looming great beasts drawing near.

These Spiritual Beasts are not the lower kinds that could be scared away by a mere few roars.

With doubt flickering in their eyes, they slowly shuffled their steps, trying to gauge Little Zhiyo's strength.

At that moment, a ninth-grade Flame Emperor Wolf, its waist as big as a barrel, took the initiative to attack.

In the Black Valley, such a tasty prey was rare.

This Flame Emperor Wolf was cunning. As long as it launched an attack and captured these two "preys," it could devour them alone.

Its body, taut like a stretched bow, suddenly leaped high, spewing a fierce blaze from its mouth.

Upon seeing that fire, Ye Lingyue's soul trembled.

Damn, Reincarnation Fire, this Flame Emperor Wolf's strength has at least reached the level of a human Reincarnation Realm Expert.

Seeing the Flame Emperor flaunting its prowess before him, Little Zhiyo was annoyed.

It was always the one roaring at others; since when was it the turn for other "wild dogs" to roar at it?

Indeed, in Little Zhiyo's eyes, this Flame Emperor Wolf was nothing but a wild dog.

Feeling provoked, the enraged Little Zhiyo, although its body had grown larger, its speed hadn't slowed down at all.

With a whoosh, it suddenly vanished, dodging that flesh-splitting blaze of Reincarnation Fire.

The next moment, it descended from the sky, heavily slamming into the Flame Emperor Wolf, whose fleshy body had been forcefully transformed after absorbing a drop of Qilin Blood.

Among Divine Beasts, ranked top three was the Qilin Dominator Body. Once colliding with the Flame Emperor Wolf, the Emperor Wolf was sent flying like a bundle of cotton.

The Emperor Wolf gasped, trying to stand up for another fight, but suddenly, its cumbersome body rolled onto the ground, its eyes bleeding profusely. The blood quickly turned into stinking water as the intense poison corroded its eyes into hollow sockets.

"Pfft"

Star Saliva emerged powerfully, fiercely piercing the throat of the ferocious Emperor Wolf.

Seizing the moment, Little Zhiyo bit into the Flame Emperor Wolf's throat, a horrific sound of crushing throat bones echoed, and the ninth-grade Emperor Wolf tilted its head, showing no signs of life anymore.

The beasts trembled with thunderous shock.

Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo, one after the other, demonstrated perfect coordination, subduing the Spiritual Beasts of the Black Valley.

That ninth-grade Flame Emperor Wolf, being second only to a few ninth-grade peak Spiritual Beasts in the entire Black Valley, was instantly killed; the others stood no chance.

The Spiritual Beasts hesitated to advance, yet were reluctant to retreat just like that; they lingered on the spot, not leaving.
