Chapter 221 Blood Soul Monument

In the center of the village, the tall blood-red monument, although scarred on the surface, still stood up straight and supported the sky.

The first person to arrive here was the white-haired old village chief.

Although he was thin, he was very fast. He stepped on the void, drew a stream of light in the air, and then his figure condensed in the air, and landed steadily in the center of the square like a fallen leaf.

He looked at Xu Yang and the other four people opposite, with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Isn't it a ghost beast?" He muttered to himself.

Then, he ignored Xu Yang and the other four people, but looked up at the damaged barrier in the sky, and shook his head with a serious expression. He looked at the damaged blood-red monument opposite.

His eyes turned red, and he put the brass pipe in his hand on his waist, walked two steps quickly to the blood-red monument, stretched out his rough old hands and gently patted the surface of the blood-red monument.

"General, it's all my fault that my eighth brother Lin didn't take good care of us."

As he said that, he knelt down on his knees in front of the blood-red monument.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes, his chin and cheeks trembling slightly, and a line of old tears slid down from the corners of his eyes, crawling over the wrinkles on his face, and wetting his clothes. It seemed to be a painful memory for him, and it seemed that he was deeply blaming himself.

After a while, the old village chief opened his eyes, wiped the tears with his sleeves, and then stood up.

He turned around and came close to Xu Yang and the other four, looking them up and down carefully. There was a trace of vigilance in his eyes.

"How did the four of you get in here? This young man and the girl in white clothes next to you don't look like people from the underworld. Were the enchantment and the blood soul monument above destroyed by you? Tell the truth, otherwise I will smash your heads."

The old village chief, eighth brother Lin, glared, and while speaking, he grasped the brass pipe on his waist in his hand.

I saw that his pressure on his body suddenly released, and his white hair was scattered like snow, like a lion approaching old age, still full of vigor. People dare not despise him easily.

Seeing the old man asking him, Xu Yang clasped his fists slightly, and was about to answer, but he stopped talking. Then, he just smiled kindly and did not answer the old man's question immediately.

Because he saw full hostility in the old man's eyes, hostility towards outsiders.

He didn't want to cause a fight because his answer made the other party unhappy. At present, Mu Jin was seriously injured and Xiao Hongzhu was in a deep sleep. I don't know when the killers from the three palaces of the netherworld will track him down. At this time, I can no longer fight with others.

Xu Yang turned his head and looked at E Ling beside him.

E Ling shook her head and used her spiritual sense to transmit her voice: "I never knew there was a village here, and I'm afraid no one in the underworld knows it. It seems that this old man's cultivation should be at the peak of the True Dan Realm. I don't know who are the people in this village. Before we figure out who is the enemy and who is the friend, it's better to be cautious."

"Village chief, what's going on?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao, a drunkard in a black coarse cloth, fell from the sky.

His long hair fluttered, his clothes fluttered, his eyes were sharp, and he was no longer drunk. He only had the unruly and unrestrained style of a master of cultivation.

"I'm here too."

With a delicate shout, another figure floated in. The plump Bai, the shopkeeper of the wine shop, who exuded the temperament of a mature woman, followed.

"Drunkard Xiao, you run so fast every time you fight." Boss Bai glanced at Xiao, and said.

"You should taste the wine slowly and fight quickly, so that you can feel good enough." Xiao, the drunkard, answered simply.

After speaking, the two of them moved closer to the old village chief and stopped talking. Whether to fight or kill, they just wait for the decision of the old village chief Lin Badi.

"And us."

"Swoosh, swoosh."

Two more figures, the round fat butcher Laohen and the black-faced hunter Dali also came to the square.

Drunkard Xiao, Shopkeeper Bai, Laohen and Dali stood beside the old village chief Lin Badi, looking aggressive.

"Hua La La, Hua La La."

Not long after, two teams of people lined up from both sides and ran to the square, with as many as forty or fifty people. They were in a neat formation, wearing ordinary people's clothes, and holding long and short swords and guns in their hands. Then they surrounded Xu Yang and the other four in the middle.

Xu Yang's consciousness moved, and found that except for the first five people who should be in the realm of Zhendan, most of the others were in the realm of Peiyuan. This is definitely not an ordinary village, but rather a place where a sect of cultivation is located.

"Everyone has misunderstood. It is not that we intentionally broke into your place, and we have no intention to offend you. It is just that we were attacked by the assassins of the Three Palaces of the Nether Realm just now, and it happened that the time-space black hole created by the explosion of the magic weapon dragged us here." Xu Yang explained everything in detail.

At this point, we can only tell the truth and deal with it as it happens.

Hearing the words "Three Palaces of the Nether Realm", almost everyone in the square showed an angry expression.

"Three Palaces of the Nether Realm? The big man in black clothes and the little girl he was holding looked like people from the Nether Realm, but you two are clearly not from the Nether Realm. Why did the assassins of the Three Palaces of the Nether Realm chase you two?" The old village chief Lin Badi continued to ask.

"To be honest, the two of us are disciples of the Tiangui Sect of the Zhongyuan Realm, and we entered this place for a trial..." Xu Yang briefly recounted the process of coming here for a trial and meeting Xiao Hongzhu.

"Are you from the Heavenly Ghost Sect of the Zhongyuan Realm? According to legend, this Forgotten Land was originally a space that was cut down from the underworld by the founder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect have always had the habit of coming here for trials, but I haven't seen anyone from the Heavenly Ghost Sect coming here in recent years. I thought the Heavenly Ghost Sect had given up on this place."

"Yes, we call this place the Evil Ghost Road. The sect has just decided to restart the Evil Ghost Road Trial." Xu Yang explained.

The old village chief Lin Badi looked up at the damaged barrier in the sky, and then said: "Young man, it seems that you are not lying. There is a lot of star soul power remaining in this void. And the one who is good at controlling the star soul power should be the person from the Phantom Star Palace." As he said, the murderous aura in Lin Badi's eyes gradually dissipated, and the pipe in his hand was put back on his waist.

"Senior, you have a keen eye. Among them is the assassin of Youxing Palace."

"This Forgotten Land is where the Three Palaces of Youjie exile prisoners from Youjie. All prisoners thrown into this place will become ghost beasts under the curse of Heiyang. But the Three Palaces of Youjie never hunt down prisoners exiled here again. And this time, not only did they send people to hunt down, but they also used such a powerful magic weapon. I'm afraid they are hunting down some big shot. Could it be that the little girl in the arms of that big guy is some big shot?"

After hearing what Lin Badi said, Xu Yang also doubted Xiao Hongzhu's identity. If she was just a servant of the Empress of Youjie, why did E Ling call her Miss? Xu Yang turned his head and looked at E Ling, hoping that E Ling would give an answer.

"The Miss came from a big family in Youjie and was later chosen as a close servant by the Empress. And I am just a retainer of the Miss. I don't know why the Three Palaces of Youjie hunted down the Miss. I just received the Miss's distress signal and chased all the way here." E Ling explained.

"It seems that you are not lying. This place is called Forget-Sorrow Valley. Forget-Sorrow Valley has a rule that all prisoners exiled here by the three palaces of the Nether Realm will be taken in as long as they reform and are willing to start a new life in Forget-Sorrow Valley. You will also be surprised why there is this village in this forgotten land, and why there are so many of us." Lin Badi said.

"I would like to hear more details." Xu Yang said.

"A long time ago, a great general of the Netherworld was framed by the Three Palaces of the Netherworld and convicted of the serious crime of rebellion. As a result, he and more than a hundred of his close soldiers were exiled here. The mother of this great general was originally a noble of the Netherworld, and his father was a famous general of the Netherworld. Therefore, he has half of the blood of the Netherworld. In the Netherworld, anyone with the blood of the Netherworld is respected as a privileged noble, which is why the great general was not immediately executed by the Three Palaces of the Netherworld. It is precisely because the great general has this half of the blood of the Netherworld that the curse of the Black Sun in the sky has little effect on him. In addition, the great general's unfathomable body, even if he survives in this forgotten land for a hundred years, it is not a problem.

But the soldiers who were exiled here with him Once the soldiers are over 20 days old, they will be transformed into ghost beasts under the curse of Heiyang. At that time, the general said that the crime of exile had nothing to do with these soldiers. He was willing to bear the punishment of the three palaces of the ghost world alone. He could not watch his brothers who had been through life and death with him being exiled here and turned into ghost beasts because of his own guilt, and then killing each other. Therefore, the general chose this hidden valley. Then he used a secret method to transform his body into a blood soul monument, spread out a barrier, blocked the power of Heiyang's curse, and let the soldiers survive, so there was this Forget-Sorrow Valley. After that, Forget-Sorrow Valley took in some prisoners who were exiled here and determined to become human again. I was one of the general's subordinates at that time. "

As he said, Lin Badi's eyes were wet again. And the people behind him also showed sadness, and some even sobbed faintly.

After all, it was the general who gave up his life in exchange for their living space, so that they could live carefree in Forget-Sorrow Valley until now.

"I didn't expect that this great general would be so kind and responsible, and sacrificed his life for the existence of this Forget-Sorrow Valley. I really admire him from the bottom of my heart." After saying that, Xu Yang turned around and bowed deeply to the Blood Soul Monument behind him.

"I would like to ask the senior to take us in for a few days. When my companion recovers from her injuries, I will take her away from here. We swear that we will never tell the secrets of this place to anyone else." Xu Yang said.

E Ling on the side thought about it and said, "I also ask the village chief to take us in for a few days. As long as the young lady wakes up, I will take her away from here." E Ling said.

"Very good, it's not that Forget-Sorrow Valley doesn't want to take you in permanently. It's just that you are different from ordinary prisoners and have been hunted down by the people of the Three Palaces of the Nether Realm. We don't want to have a large-scale conflict with the people of the Three Palaces of the Nether Realm. Once this place is damaged, everyone will be exposed to the Black Sun and will eventually be cursed by the Black Sun and become a ghost beast."

"Thank you for taking us in." Xu Yang and Mu Jin thanked in unison.

"Thank you, thank you." E Ling also thanked repeatedly.

"Before this young lady wakes up, even if people from the three palaces of the Nether Realm come to snatch you, we will not hand you over. This is the rule of Wangyou Valley. Wangyou Valley must take in no one less." The old man said domineeringly.

"Wangyou Valley is very kind, and E Ling will never forget it in this life."

"However, there is a problem now. The barrier is damaged, and some black sun power will penetrate into Wangyou Valley. Over time, the residents here will be affected. If you want to repair the barrier, you need to go outside to hunt high-level ghost beasts and use the demon crystals on them to repair the barrier."

"I'll go." Drunkard Xiao was the first to rush to say.

"I'll go too." Butcher Laohen, hunter Dali and liquor store owner Bai said in unison.

"I'm willing to go too." Xu Yang also expressed his opinion.
