The next day, Wu Ming and Lord Xinling proposed to bid farewell.
Lord Xinling tried to persuade him to stay, but seeing that there was no meaning in Wu Ming going, he could only let him go in the end.
Zhao Yu took some gold as his travel expenses, then let Xuan Jian bring a few boxes of gold and Wu Ming to the Qi Country.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yu headed to his destination, Phantom Valley, alone.
The Ghost Valley was the place where Guigu 'zi lived in seclusion for generations. It was located on the Cloud-Dream Mountain of the Wei Kingdom and belonged to the Zhao Gefen Kingdom.
Zhao Yu bought a good horse and headed west. Within a few days, he arrived at Zhaoge.
Zhao Yu didn't rush into the Cloud-Dream Mountain. Instead, he settled down in Zhaoge.
The Cloud-Dream Mountain was part of the Taihang Mountains and stretched for thousands of miles. If one didn't know the exact location of the Ghost Valley, they wouldn't be able to find it even if they spent half a month.
Zhao Yu stayed in Zhaoge for two days. After asking around, he finally confirmed the approximate location of the Haunted Valley on the Cloud-Dream Mountain and set off on his journey.
Zhao Yu searched for the location of the Ghost Valley in the Cloud-Dream Mountain according to the information he had obtained.
Zhao Yu stayed in the Cloud-Dream Mountain for about ten days. He was like a fool who had almost run all over the Cloud-Dream Mountain, but he still could not find the location of the Ghost Valley.
The starlight shone in the valley, covering the pitch-black foothills with a thin layer of gauze. Deep in the forest, Zhao Yu sat beside the bonfire with a worried expression. He was holding a map and studying it carefully.
At this moment, Zhao Yu's brows were tightly knitted together. He would occasionally look down at the map, and occasionally look up at the mountain, as if he was trying to determine his location.
After a while, Zhao Yu threw the map to the side and stood there in a daze.
"We've been searching for more than ten days, why can't we find the exact location of this Haunted Valley? Could it be that the location of the Ghost Valley was hidden by an array?”
Zhao Yu was sure that he had already walked through every inch of the Cloud-Dream Mountain. He did not even see a house, let alone the Ghost Valley.
There were only two possibilities for such a situation. Either the Haunted Valley was not in the Cloud-Dream Mountain, or it was hidden in some kind of formation. Without knowing the way to enter, it could only wander around like a blind cat.
Zhao Yu was more inclined towards the second possibility.
However, it was precisely this possibility that caused Zhao Yu to fall into a dilemma. If he wanted to break the array formation and enter the Haunted Valley, he would have to be extremely proficient in the Qimen Dunjia Technique.
Zhao Yu's system had recorded the relevant Mystic Arts, such as the Wuhou Mystic Art.
However, the Wuhou Occult Gate required 150,000 deduction points, and Zhao Yu did not have that many points.
"Forget it, I'll rest first. I'll look for it tomorrow. If I can't find it, I'll leave first. Anyway, even if I really collect the Wind Empress's Mystic Gate, I can't learn it for the time being.”
The Ghost Valley was only Zhao Yu's first stop. Other than the Ghost Valley, he still had to make a trip to the Han Country, then the Chu Country. After that, he would return to the Qi Country to pick up his people before heading to the Wei Country.
With the current traffic conditions, it would take a few months even if they ran day and night. Furthermore, Zhao Yu had other things to do.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Yu jumped onto the tree branch and slowly closed his eyes.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"
Zhao Yu's eyes opened in an instant. He heard the sound of footsteps rushing towards him.
Feeling something, Zhao Yu amplified his senses and tried his best to listen. When he confirmed that there was only one person on the road, Zhao Yu was overjoyed.
The people who came here might be from Phantom Valley.
Zhao Yu jumped down from the tree, picked up his bag, and headed in the direction of the footsteps.
The gray-white hair, the dark green robe, and the pair of indifferent eyes no longer revealed this person's identity.
The disciple of Phantom Valley Rampage, Wei Zhuang.
To Zhao Yu, this was like a pillow delivered to him when he was dozing off. He was just worrying about how to find the location of the Haunted Valley when he met the disciples of the Haunted Valley.
"Who is it?"
Wei Zhuang, who was hurrying on, suddenly heard something strange behind him. He instantly pulled out his sword and looked behind him.
Zhao Yu did not expect Wei Zhuang to have such keen senses. He had only used the Six Treasury Immortal Thief to hide his aura when he was following them, but he was still discovered.
However, Zhao Yu had originally wanted Wei Zhuang to lead the way and follow him secretly. It didn't make much of a difference whether he showed himself or not.
At most, he would fight with Wei Zhuang.
The current Zhao Yu was able to fight evenly with Xuan Jian, so Wei Zhuang, who had yet to finish his apprenticeship, could not pose much of a threat to him.
Zhao Yu slowly appeared from the shadows. He looked at Wei Zhuang, who looked like he was facing a great enemy, and revealed a smile that he thought was kind.
"This must be a disciple of Phantom Valley. I want to enter Phantom Valley, but I haven't found it after searching here for more than ten days. I wonder if you can lead me?”
A trace of contempt flashed in Wei Zhuang's eyes. To be able to wander around the Cloud-Dream Mountain for more than ten days without finding the Haunted Valley, it was obvious how poor his aptitude was.
"The requirement for Ghost Valley to recruit outer sect disciples is to find Ghost Valley within five days. You have searched for more than ten days and still haven't found it.”
The disciples of Ghost Valley were divided into outer sect disciples and direct disciples. Outer sect disciples could choose one or more of Ghost Valley's ultimate techniques to learn.
For example, Gongsun Yu had learned swordsmanship and the art of war from Phantom Valley.
However, Gongsun Yu had become the number one sword of their era just by relying on these.
When Zhao Yu was chatting with Gongsun Li, he had once asked her why Gongsun Yu, who had such great talent, did not become a direct disciple.
Gongsun Li told Zhao Yu that Gongsun Yu's talent was extraordinary, but due to some other reasons, he was destined to not be able to cause any ripples in that era.
Therefore, Phantom Valley gave up the idea of accepting him as a direct disciple.
As for direct disciples, they were required to be proficient in all of them. Therefore, all of the previous generations of the Traversing Traversing
When Wei Zhuang saw Zhao Yu's disheveled clothes and dirty body, he thought that Zhao Yu was here to learn martial arts.
"You've misunderstood. I'm not here to learn from the Guigu 'zi, but I have something to discuss with the current Guigu' zi.”
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck. It turned out that Wei Zhuang had already come to his side and placed the sword in his hand against his neck.
"Ghost Valley doesn't accept outsiders. If you don't leave, you will become a dead soul under my sword.”
Zhao Yu's temper flared up instantly. How could he tolerate this?
"Then go ahead and see if your child-like sword can kill me. Sometimes, using force to make the other party yield was also a very good method, wasn't it?”
"Then go ahead and try to see if you can survive this sword.”Wei Zhuang laughed scornfully. He used his arm to slash the sword in his hand across Zhao Yu's throat without hesitation.
