Chapter 771 - Immortal Burying Valley

Chapter 771 Immortal Burying Valley

Meng Jing still hasn’t figured out what the spitball is yet.

She even doubts whether this is a trick with an ulterior motive by Li Lang.

However, on second thought, she thinks that it is not likely. After all, Li Lang has talked honestly with her before. There is no need for him to play a trick anymore.

More importantly, Meng Jing feels that she has been driven into an impasse.

Although she feels that the content of the spitball may not be reliable, by now, she still wants to give it a try.

Midnight means the time between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m.

Meng Jing doesn’t know about Immortal Burying Valley at first but quite some people of the Ghost Sect know that. As to the people of the Ghost Sect, just like the sand fort, Immortal Burying Valley is the forbidden area of the Ghost Sect. Therefore, apart from the sovereign and several elders, ordinary disciples of the Ghost Sect don’t dare to go in there randomly.

According to the disciples of the Ghost Sect, there used to be a Ghost Emperor in the Ghost Sect. As long as it succeeded in passing the trial, it would become a Ghost Immortal and attain Taoism.

However, it is already not easy for cultivators to attain Taoism, let alone ghosts. It is actually against the principle of Heaven. The success rate of passing the trial is less than 10%. In the end, the Ghost Emperor failed and perished. And the place where it went through the trial has been referred to as Immortal Burying Valley by the people of the Ghost Sect ever since.

Generally, the people of the Ghost Sect won’t mention Immortal Burying Valley because, in the Ghost Sect, there are too many legends about the Half Ghost Immortal that failed to pass the trial.

Some say that the Ghost Emperor failed to become the Ghost Immortal and perished in Immortal Burying Valley, but his Qi didn’t completely vanish. As long as the Qi finds a suitable man and possesses his body, the Ghost Immortal can continue cultivating.

Others say that in Immortal Burying Valley, the Qi left by the Ghost Emperor is very horrid. One will die on the spot if he runs into the Qi.

As to these legends, Meng Jing is still suspicious. She cannot disbelieve them but neither can she believe them.

Besides, the destination of the appointment is the mouth of Immortal Burying Valley but not inside Immortal Burying Valley.

In the darkness, Meng Jing walks for about two hours before feeling gusts of strong Yin wind.

Actually, a lot of places of the Ghost Sect are guarded by ghosts or disciples. Strangely, only the Immortal Burying Valley has no roadblocks. It seems that everyone is afraid of the terrible beings in Immortal Burying Valley.

When Meng Jing stops, there is a stone tablet as tall as three meters ahead. It writes with the red cinnabar– “Immortal Burying Valley”. Apart from that, the valley is also enshrouded by thunderclouds, in which lightning flashes.

Meng Jing feels so strange. When she was distant before, she didn’t see this.

At the moment, a voice suddenly comes from behind her.

“When the Ghost Emperor died, there was still one heavenly thunderbolt that hadn’t struck. Besides, the Ghost Emperor’s Qi hasn’t completely vanished. Therefore, the thunderclouds are hovering above this place all the time. If the Ghost Emperor wants to take shape again, the heavenly thunderbolt will come and destroy it.”

Hearing the voice, Meng Jing is shocked. She quickly turns around and sees a man wearing a black robe. Only his outline can be seen but not his face.

“Who are you?”

“It’s none of your business,” the man says, “I know you are Meng Jing and that you are working for the Dragon Court. And that’s enough.”

“What do you want to do?” Meng Jing asks.

“I’m your Plan B,” the man suddenly says.

“Yes?” Meng Jing feels surprised.

An idea flashes across her mind.

When she was in the Ghost Sect, Heaven Dragon has met her once and told her that there would be another member of the Dragon Court sneaking into the Ghost Sect besides her. Therefore, when she needs help, the man will show up and contact her.

And that man is Meng Jing’s Plan B.

Plan A is surely Meng Jing.

She can guarantee when Heaven Dragon told her about that, no one else was there.

Therefore, not many people know about this.

Of course Heaven Dragon can’t leak it randomly.

It is her mission. Not many members of the Dragon Court know about it.

Besides, Plan B is more mysterious than her.

“You can’t get out of here,” the man continues saying.

When the man mentioned Plan B, Meng Jing has started to believe him.

“Do you have a way to get out?” Meng Jing hastens to ask.

The man shakes his head.

Meng Jing looks very disappointed.

Yet, her disappointment is gone quickly.

She believes that the man must have an idea. Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask her out for the meeting.

Thus, what she needs to do is listen to him quietly.

“I asked you to come to meet me at Immortal Burying Valley because only this place in the Ghost Sect is not monitored by the people of the Ghost Sect. The other places are all under their watch,” the man continues saying.

Meng Jing is instantly shocked to hear that.

If what the man said is true, isn’t the conversation she had with Li Lang known by the people of the Ghost Sect?

Probably having seen Meng Jing’s facial expression, the man says laughingly, “But you don’t need to be afraid. The people of the Ghost Sect are not that bored to keep watching you all the time. After all, watching you is a kind of consumption for them. Besides, you cannot get out of the Ghost Sect now so it is actually pointless to watch you.”

Hearing the man’s words, Meng Jing finally lets out a sigh.

Nevertheless, she thinks that this matter kind of gives her a warning. She shouldn’t talk with Li Lang like last night again.

After all, she is in the Ghost Sect now. Whatever she says or does, she must be cautious.

Otherwise, she will be in serious trouble.

“Actually, it is not a very difficult thing for you to send out the information if you have one thing,” the man says, “I cannot let you know who I am for now. It is not that I don’t trust you but that the people of the Ghost Sect may read your memories in a way. They have too many ways to harness souls. We must be careful.”

Meng Jing nods.

It is pretty normal that the man has such a worry.

She asks, “You mentioned a thing was needed. What is that? Where is it? As long as I find the thing, I can send out the information?”

Meng Jing asks so many questions in a row. The man in black laughs and says, “Don’t rush. That thing...”

Suddenly, gusts of Yin wind blow by.

Meng Jing is astonished.

Are they found by the Ghost Sect?

However, the man in black is very calm. He only turns around and looks at the depths of Immortal Burying Valley.

“That Ghost Emperor is really waking up,” the man in black says with a sigh.

Meng Jing only groans rather than says anything. Besides, her breath becomes quicker as if she is suppressing something.

The man in black also senses the surging Qi inside Meng Jing’s body and suddenly feels startled.

“You’ve got something in your body?”

Meng Jing says nothing and only turns around to look at the depths of Immortal Burying Valley.

Her eyes become red and strange beyond words.

And...

Greed also wells up in her eyes.
