Chapter 803: Camouflage . . .
At a lake with a calm surface, in a tranquil mountain valley.
A party of seven to eight people appeared in this remote mountain valley. n)/o).v/-E/-l--b(-1-/n
"First Elder, could it be that this place is the Crimson Afterglow Valley? Looks like it doesn't seem to be any different from an ordinary mountain valley."
"Humph! If even you can detect the differences, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would have long been exterminated by people," First Elder said with a cold snort.
"Hehe, makes sense!"
The one who said this was called Yang Xiao; one of the seven holy sons.
This Yang Xiao had a cheeky appearance all day long; he was rather like a big kid who liked to play. But to be able to become one of the seven holy sons, his strength naturally could not be underestimated.
After Ye Yuan defeated Zhang Tianyi, the dust settled for the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition too.
Ye Yuan obtained the first place with the battle result of a flawless victory, obtaining the qualification to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley without any qualms.
Zhang Tianyi won 59 and lost one, obtaining the qualification with the battle result of second place.
And finally, Han Feng utterly trounced Wu Jianton, catching the last bus as well.
On the seven holy sons' side, they selected three people to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley in the end as well. They were respectively Nalan Hong, Yang Xiao, and Pei Wenqiang's elder brother, Pei Kun.
Presumably, these people's strength could stand out among the seven holy sons.
This early morning, First Elder brought the six people to this extremely out-of-the-way mountain valley.
This mountain valley was within the boundaries of the holy land, but it was exceptionally hard to find.
"First Elder, are we considered to have entered the Crimson Afterglow Valley here? Could it be that this lake in front of the legendary Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool?" Yang Xiao asked again.
As one of the seven holy sons, even though he had not come to the Crimson Afterglow Valley before, but what was inside this Crimson Afterglow Valley, he was perfectly aware.
First Elder shot him a glare and said crossly, "You moron! Is there any essence energy undulation in this lake? Why don't you jump down and give it a try?"
Yang Xiao scratched his head and said perplexedly, "We didn't enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, and there isn't any path to take here as well. What on earth should we do?"
First Elder was disinclined to bother with this idiot and simply turned his head over and just threw down a word, "Wait!"
Right then, the earth quaked, and the mountains swayed within the mountain valley. It was as if an earthquake occured.
The corners of First Elder's mouth twitched, and his eyes actually became somewhat moist.
Holy Lord's lifespan originally did not have much left. With this, it was adding one disaster after another.
Especially sending six people in this time all at once, the burden on Tu You was even greater.
When the thought reached here, Chen Qin was incredibly upset in his heart.
Rumble ...
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the lake in front of them actually parted into two, like it was forcefully cleaved into two halves by someone using a blade.
Between the two halves of the lake water, a gorgeous light emitted out.
"The few of you, go in from between this lake water! Remember, you all only have five day's time. After five days, no matter how much you gained, you have to come out. Otherwise, you all can only come out again after 300 years." Chen Qin warned.
Of course, Chen Qin knew that Tu You had the ability to forcefully crack this grand array. But that price expended was too great.
After Tu You cast the skill, he would die without a doubt!
This sort of method, Chen Qin naturally would not say out, and would not agree to Tu You casting the skill either.
"Yes, First Elder!"
The six people received the order and leaped into the brilliant light, then vanished from sight.
After Ye Yuan's group of six disappeared, a light flashed, revealing that hoary and aged silhouette of Tu You's.
The current Tu You looked even older than before at a glance.
Seeing Tu You, Chen Qin's expression changed, "Holy Lord, you ..."
Around Tu You was a strand of faintly discernible black qi circling around. Martial artists all knew that this vague black qi was precisely death qi!
Once this sort of aura appeared around a martial artist, they were not far from exhausting their lifespans.
Tu You waved a hand and said, "Opening the array formation this time, the essence energy expended was a little too great. It's fine. My body, I have a score in my heart. Hanging on for three years shouldn't be an issue. I just hope that these children can grow up faster."
Chen Qin's years ran down his old face as he said, "Holy Lord, it's all Chen Qin who is incompetent, to not even have the ability to open up the Crimson Afterglow Valley's array formation!"
Tu You smiled and said, "The Crimson Afterglow Valley has always been personally opened up by the Holy Lord. When was it your turn?"
If Tu You was still in his peak state, opening the Crimson Afterglow Valley naturally would not be too much of an issue and would not expend longevity either.
But the current Tu You could not endure such tremendous expenditure at all. Each time he used essence energy, his lifespan would be lost even faster!
