“A battlefield?”

Chen Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows; he had not come across anything like this in the archives of Nanling Prefecture.

Of course, it might be that it was not recorded at all.

“It seems Brother Chen is not aware… Well, it’s just as well. I’ll briefly talk about the origin of Black Wind Valley. Coincidentally, I do have some interest in this area…”

After pondering for a moment, he continued:

“About two hundred and forty years ago, because someone colluded with the Northern Barbarians, the borders of Liangyou fell, causing great suffering to the people. The Emperor of Great Chu at that time was incensed and ordered the military commanders in his court to take command and recover the territory.”

An initial Vanguard Army was the first to reach within Qingzhou, but they were ambushed by several powerful Northern Barbarians. A great formation was set up in Moon Valley, luring the Vanguard Army there…

Using malignant formations and curse techniques, over ten thousand of the initial Chu Vanguard were cursed to death.

The bloodshed continued for seven days non-stop, black winds filled the sky, almost obscuring half the county. Later, after Great Jin was established, the first Magistrate of Nanling changed Moon Valley’s name to Black Wind Valley.

From these accounts, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but think that perhaps the Extreme Yin Blood Evil was transformed from this ancient battlefield into a Yin Evil Land.

It wasn’t impossible. From what Chen Yuan knew, many military martial artists condensed evil on battlefields, and typically, the evil qi in such places was not of a low grade either, just more dangerous.

As for the specific information about ‘Moon Valley,’ it made Chen Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, as the place was unoccupied wasteland, with no one else there to obstruct.

Perhaps this time could be as straightforward as when he initially acquired the Vajra Glaze Body.

Frankly, this was what Chen Yuan hoped for; he personally did not wish for any trouble. The simpler, the better; the easier, the better.

“Tower Master Ye is truly learned and well-informed; I admire you!”

Ye Chenbai’s casual way of clearly explaining things truly impressed Chen Yuan, and it was no wonder he held the position of a tower master—he indeed had the necessary skills.

“I have an interest in this area, and besides, the Ascending Immortal Tower is open for business, relying on first-hand information,” Ye Chenbai smiled indifferently, playing it down.

“And this place?”

Chen Yuan pointed to another location, asking.

To prevent Ye Chenbai from noticing anything peculiar, Chen Yuan quickly pointed to another renamed place, letting Ye Chenbai explain why the names were changed…

Chen Yuan stayed at the Ascending Immortal Tower for over half an hour before leaving, and from his mouth, Chen Yuan also found out about the reasons behind several name changes, apart from those randomly chosen.

Most had some history behind them.

…

…

“You’re thinking of leaving Nanling Prefecture for a while?”

Tao Qingyuan furrowed his brows as he sized up Chen Yuan, wondering if Chen Yuan was trying to avoid the limelight and not willing to face the pressure from Gold Mountain Monastery directly.

Because of the cultivation technique issues, while things had temporarily calmed with Gold Mountain Monastery, Tao Qingyuan felt that they might not let it rest, and perhaps the next action could be covert.

It made sense if Chen Yuan wanted to avoid the limelight, but thinking about Chen Yuan’s character, he hesitated somewhat—he should not be that type of person.

Before Tao Qingyuan could continue speculating, Chen Yuan directly said:

“There are some other matters for which I need to return to Ping’an County. I’ll be back in no more than ten days,” Chen Yuan bowed respectfully.

“That’s fine then. We have just finished dealing with the Liu Changkong case; there’s no need for you to stay. It would be good to rest for a few days.” Without much deliberation, Tao Qingyuan agreed to Chen Yuan’s request.

He highly regarded this young man, who if continued to grow, could at least become a Green Envoy of a prefecture, a position of high authority. Tao Qingyuan would agree to most requests as long as they were not too excessive.

“Thank you, sir.”

Chen Yuan said solemnly.

The distance from the Prefecture City to Moon Valley, or as now called, Black Wind Valley, located in Liuhe County, was somewhat considerable; just the journey alone required about three or four days, the remaining time was for Chen Yuan’s breakthrough.

Although he had never condensed evil before, there were some scrolls regarding this topic within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Having adjusted his state through several days of practice, his cultivation was already at the peak of the Qi Absorption Level, and he was ready to break through, yet it was just the evil qi that constantly constrained him.

Having left Tao Qingyuan’s presence, Chen Yuan also met Yue Shan and others, telling them he would be gone shortly and to keep a low profile. If someone came to provoke, they should go to Tao Qingyuan.

Given the issues they had dealt with before, the anger in Tao Qingyuan’s heart had not yet dispersed, and he would definitely take action if someone sought trouble.

Chen Yuan also instructed the Yunjiang Three Ghosts to keep fundamentally low during this time, and if there were issues, to wait for his return or seek Yue Shan’s assistance if absolutely necessary.

After reviewing all matters, Chen Yuan left Nanling Prefecture City with peace of mind.

Following the Yun River downstream…

The Liuhe County where Moon Valley, or Black Wind Valley, was located was right down the Yun River.

The name was given because within this county, willow trees were widely planted, with nearly every village having a willow at the entrance. Before coming here, Chen Yuan had prepared all the necessary information.

Condensing evil was not a trivial matter; naturally, Chen Yuan prepared thoroughly.

He had spent about a day on the Yun River, then got off the boat and walked to Moon Valley, carrying sufficient provisions, opting not to dine at roadside inns anymore.

He felt that if he went to the inn, there would definitely be trouble.

Don’t ask why, asking is just falling into a trap….

…

…

In a dense part of their jungle trek, a few young men with long knives continually chopped at the weeds and brambles that grew along the sides of the path, clearing their route slightly. Among them, their leader, who had scars across his face and a whitened left eye, yet his right eye was filled with ferocity.

One could tell at a glance he wasn’t the kind to trifle with; he was a brutal character.

Besides the one-eyed leader, there were three other men just as fierce-looking, with their worn and tattered clothes.

Among them, an elder, who was not very tall and had a somewhat comical face, stood with a deathly pale face; his gray chin beard trembling.

“You old coot, we have already come such a long way. How is it that we still haven’t reached the place you mentioned? Are you playing us for fools? Believe it or not, I’ll chop you to pieces!”

The leading youth glared fiercely at the elder, using the back of his knife to pat the elder’s face as a clear warning.

“G-great warriors, I am so old, how can I possibly deceive you? The monkey wine is really inside this Black Wind Valley,” the elder said, trembling and stammering.

“Hmph!” The man snorted coldly, pushing the elder to the ground:

“Not deceiving us? What about the water diluted in your tavern’s drinks? We paid for monkey wine, and you dared to adulterate it,

who knows if you’re just spouting nonsense again?”

“Great warriors, as the saying goes about opening a door to do business—the one who sells wine without dilution dies wronging the spirits. I, Old Pan, am not the only one, why must you single me out?”

“Oh, the honor of my lifetime, ruined in an instant!”

The voice of Old Pan on the ground carried a sobbing tone. Yesterday, these ruffians had caught him adulterating drinks; not only was his tavern smashed, his son was taken hostage, and now he was being forced to search for monkey wine in the Black Wind Valley.

He really had met with great misfortune!

“Smack.”

One of them immediately slapped Old Pan’s face and glared at him furiously:

“You old thing still have the face to talk, justifying selling us fake drinks? We paid the original price for a pot of monkey wine, and here you are babbling nonsense.”

The leading man frowned and said:

“If you want to stay alive, just behave and lead us to that group of monkeys that brewed the wine, otherwise… not only you but your entire Pan family might not survive!”

Old Pan’s eyes darted around as he continuously nodded his head.

But his heart was filled with bitterness; if it were possible, he wouldn’t want to sell diluted fake wine either. It was all because the supply of monkey wine was dwindling by the day, and for some unknown reason, the monkeys inside the Black Wind Valley weren’t diligently brewing wine anymore.

Three months ago, when he took his son there, the number of monkeys in the valley had mysteriously decreased dramatically, and the remaining monkeys were listless and had no desire to brew.

But now he dared not speak out, as these men might indeed beat him up severely, completely unwilling to believe him.

Thirty meters behind the group, on a giant tree, Chen Yuan in his green robe slightly knitted his eyebrows and pondered slightly with his eyes, deciding to follow them a bit longer to see the situation.

When he had arrived not far from Black Wind Valley, he had noticed these sneaky fellows apparently searching for something. Motivated by the prospect of a bargain, he had followed them.

Who knew it was just for some monkey wine…

Chen Yuan wasn’t much interested in indulging in tastes; the monkey wine, though good, was not what he desired.

What he was looking for was something to enhance his cultivation, like… Evil Qi!

Old Pan, with a knife at his neck, had a slight tremble in his body and walked with extra care, dreadfully afraid that a slip of the knife would gash his throat.

Though he had lived for over fifty years, he still wanted to live longer; he had just gotten a prescription for kidney reinforcement and hadn’t had the chance to use it yet…

With him leading the way, the group’s pace significantly quickened, and in about two hours, they arrived inside the Black Wind Valley.

The valley was vast, but the trees it grew were scarce, showing some signs of decay, which was in stark contrast to the outside of the valley. It was said to be a place wandered by evil cults. Old Pan had also been afraid when he first accidentally stumbled in, but then he realized there were no evil cults at all. Not only was there none, but it also provided him a new way to make money.

Thereafter, under his instigation, the stories about evil cults in Black Wind Valley increased manifold within the county.

Good things, he could just take them for himself!

Upon entering the valley, Chen Yuan activated his Heavenly Eye, and sure enough, he could see dim strands of dark Evil Qi wafting from the ground through his eyes.

The most concentrated point of Evil Qi was inside a cave.

Conveniently…

That was also the destination where Old Pan was leading those fierce men!
