wizards start with occlumency

The court…no…the palace knows more about the Valley of the Dead than anyone gives them credit for.

As a close confidant of Emperor Kang Qian, Angel knew more about the inside story than the princes in the court who were plotting against Governor Hu this time.

The angel actually knows that the biggest special thing about the Valley of the Dead is that the life-extending peach plant relies on absorbing human life force to produce peach fruits.

The reason why Jianghu warriors were driven into the valley to explore the road was not because they did not want to lose the power of the imperial court, nor was it because the imperial court planned to reduce Jianghu's power.

I just want to feed that longevity peach plant.

After feeding, the things buried under the longevity peach have a chance to be revealed.

According to royal secrets, this condition was finally met last time, and just as he was about to take out the item, it was destroyed by a warrior at the peak of the Human Immortal Martial Arts Cave Void Realm who had a short lifespan.

Once the longevity peach leaves the peach tree, the blockade under the tree's roots will take effect again.

It is impossible to unwrap that thing again.

This time, the Valley of the Dead finally reached the point where the thing could be launched again, and Emperor Kang Qian decided to kill the threat in advance.

Driving Jianghu warriors into the Valley of the Dead, called exploration, but actually delivering food, is one of many methods.

Angel thought quietly, and was lost in thought for a while, not paying attention to the surveillance screen.

"Sir...sir, there is a situation."

At this time, a civil servant from the province who surrendered came from below. Seeing that no one else noticed anything unusual, he gritted his teeth and shouted a reminder.

"Ok?"

The angel glanced over displeasedly.

There was no murderous look in his eyes, but it scared the civil servant to the point where he almost left his body.

During this period, the officialdom of this province experienced earthquakes one after another.

I don’t know when or why, someone will be dismounted, someone will be imprisoned, and someone will die tragically.

There are many family members of criminal officials in the Jiaofang Division.

Many former sisters-in-law and nieces fell into it and became contaminated by the dust.

This civil servant also took the time to express condolences, communicate in depth, and leave something sincerely.

Thinking of those crying sisters-in-law and nieces, the civil servant became even more frightened.

He is afraid that if he is not alone, his wife and daughter will also end up in the same situation, and they will have to rely on other people's exchanges and donations to survive.

But now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in worrying about it. The civil servant gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, the people you are focusing on, Hu Shengqing's two daughters, are gone."

"Ok?"

The angel was furious when he heard this and immediately glanced at the surveillance screen.

It was shocking to find that the five-man team and Hu Songqi were not visible on the screen.

"what happened?"

After staring straight at no other surveillance footage except for the mountains and forests in the valley, the angel asked quietly.

The civil servant replied: "Hu Shengqing's illegitimate daughter entered the peach forest, and the team of the biological daughter entered a white mist, and they were no longer visible."

"is it?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure."

The angel took a deep look at the civil servant who spoke decisively, and grinned: "Okay! You are very good!"

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

The civil servant fell to his knees with a pop and kowtowed.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that the scholar who was always known for his character was so servile in front of him, the angel couldn't help but let out a burst of hearty laughter.

This feeling is so good.

"Get up. The Governor recommends you to become the Deputy Governor. I hope you will not disappoint His Majesty, the court, or this Governor!"

"Thank you sir."

The civil servant kowtowed again, then stood up and expressed his position, "I will only follow the leader's lead."

"Yeah. Easy to talk about."

Angel nodded in agreement and continued to pay attention to the surveillance screen.

He wanted to see how much trouble Hu Shengqing's two daughters could make.

The bigger the noise, the better.

Only in this way can Hu Shengqing's conspiracy to rebel be completely put to death, and Hu Shengqing can be killed without the world noticing.

The civil servant let out a long breath.

Not only was his life saved, he was also promoted to the third level.

Not bad, not bad, it’s worth the risk you take.

I will go back to the city tonight to share this good news with my former sisters-in-law and nieces, and bring some joy to their miserable lives.

In the Valley of the Dead.

Hu Songqi entered the peach forest/cliff and fell into a coma.

The five-person team stepped on the ice crystal path created by Hu Suqi and walked safely through the cremation site.

However, at the end of the path, there was a thick fog.

From what Link perceived, the thick fog had no other harmful effects besides covering it up.

It was a good opportunity to get rid of the surveillance of the imperial court, so he led the team and plunged in.

The two biggest difficulties when walking in fog are that visibility is reduced and breathing is difficult.

After all, they are large particles, and the respiratory system spontaneously resists them.

But these two points are not a problem for the five-person team.

I saw that Hu Suqi did not need to say hello, but took the initiative to use his magic, summoning a fist-sized ball of light, hanging in front, shining in all directions.

At the same time, Link finally took action and constructed five air filter masks using secret methods.

"What spell is this?"

Hu Suqi was very surprised as she played with the invisible air filter mask in her hand.

She felt more and more that Link's magic was truly its own system, a kind of magic that was completely different from alchemy, Taoism, ancient witchcraft, and evil witchcraft.

"Just use it. It can't be explained in a sentence or two."

It's not that Link is too conceited, but he really can't explain clearly.

He is now using spells, in addition to teleportation. After receiving Li Shuwen's guidance, he thought deeply about the principles.

Other times, it's mostly "I'm thinking" mode.

Like now.

Link thought about the need for something to filter the air, and figured out this secret method.

The reason why it is called secret method rather than witchcraft is because Link knows that if the principle is not clear and cannot be promoted, it is not enough to be called witchcraft.

"Oh."

Hu Suqi didn't ask for details. She put the air filter mask on her face and experienced it herself, hoping to deduce the principle.

Many of the ancient witchcraft she mastered were derived in this way from those ancient witchcraft products.

"Junior brother, where should we go next?"

Senior Brother Shi asked aloud at this time.

After entering the fog, the five-person team had stopped in place for a while under Link's signal.

Now that the problems of low visibility and difficulty breathing have been solved, it’s time to continue on the road.

"hold on."

Link replied, motioning for the others to look ahead.

Senior Brother Shi, Min Ruohua, and Xu Huiyun, three pure human immortal martial arts warriors, were reminded by Link that they discovered that the fog was more than just a fog.

The scene in front of them changed again and again, but there was no final result.

"How is this going?"

Senior Brother Shi immediately asked out his doubts.

Min Ruohua and Xu Huiyun of the Mingxin Sword Sect pricked up their ears and wanted to know the reason.

Link smiled: "You have to ask Sister-in-law Su Qi."

"Ok?"

Senior Brother Shi looked at Hu Suqi.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything!" Hu Suqi said angrily as she glared at Senior Brother Shi.

What do you believe in what your junior brother says?
When Link saw this, he was not in a hurry to explain what he meant. Instead, he paid attention to the constantly switching scenes in front of the fog.

After a moment, Link shouted: "Pay attention, you must follow me!"

After the words fell, Link took a step forward, stood in front, and stabilized the surrounding space.

The four of them are all elites among the elites. They were warned in advance and took action immediately.

After confirming that everyone was in the same space, Link took back the mental power to anchor the surrounding space.

A clatter.

It was as if a mirror was broken.

Senior Brother Shi, Hu Suqi, Min Ruohua, and Xu Huiyun discovered that they were standing under a peach tree as tall as the sky.

"This is?"

Pointing to the tall peach tree in front of her, Hu Suqi was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly.

The same goes for Senior Brother Shi, Min Ruohua, and Xu Huiyun.

More than 3000 warriors had been exploring for more than a month, and the longevity peach tree, which they had not even touched, appeared in front of them. It was really unbelievable.

"This is the longevity peach tree."

Link answered the four people's questions unhurriedly, but his eyes were focused on the roots of a tree.

Even the dead body holding the highest secret book of evil witchcraft was ignored.

"How did we get here?"

Senior Brother Shi turned into a mouth substitute and asked Hu Suqi, Min Ruohua, and Xu Huiyun questions that they really wanted to know the answers to.

Link chuckled: "Because this peach tree wants to see us, it gives us a chance within the rules to see if we can grasp it."

After saying that, Link did not continue to explain in depth, but just stared at the tree root faintly.

Hu Suqi was thoughtful after hearing this.

When Senior Brother Shi discovered this, he immediately changed the target of seeking advice and asked his girlfriend: "Su Qi, what are you thinking of?"

"Ah."

Hu Suqi nodded, organized his words, and faced the probing gazes of the three people. He opened his mouth slightly and said, "There may be many reasons why the Valley of the Dead is so difficult to break into. But there has always been a guess, that is, the Valley of the Dead is the ancient alchemist. , and even the relics left by the witches in ancient times. I just used magic spells in succession, and they were ancient witchcraft that tended to be orthodox, which may have triggered the screening mechanism in the valley."

"Is that so?"

Senior Brother Shi frowned slightly, still a little incomprehensible.

Xu Huiyun of the Mingxin Sword Sect suddenly said: "Then...does that mean that when a warrior enters the valley, it is equivalent to a robber entering the city, and will encounter resistance and counterattack?"

"That's understandable."

Hu Suqi confirmed Xu Huiyun's guess.

"Oh."

Xu Huiyun nodded blankly, "No wonder so many people have died and they haven't been able to get in here."

"You come with me."

Just as the four of them were about to continue chatting, Link made a new move.

He walked towards the peach tree root that he had been staring at for a long time.

The four quickly followed.

The roots of the Babel peach tree are as wide as two-way four-lane roads.

The five of them stood in front of the slightly arched tree roots, as if they were standing under a bridge.

The space formed by the arched tree roots is like a bridge.

"Hey! There's a door here!"

After a period of getting to know each other, Xu Huiyun finally dared to speak and release her true nature.

Min Ruohua, who was like a sister and a mother, discovered this but did not stop it.

The relationship between the Mingxin Sword Sect and the Baji Martial Arts School can be described as unusually close.

In front of the direct disciples and spouses of the Baji Martial Arts School, the disciples of the Mingxin Sword Sect can't let go, so what's the point?
As it should be!

"Yeah, there's a door here."

Looking at the hatch with a very familiar style, Link was a little confused.

What is the situation in this world?
Every time he thought he had a deep understanding of this world, something "strange" would pop up.

Evil witchcraft is like this, ancient witchcraft is like this, alchemy and Taoism are like this.

just now……

Link actually saw a hatch of a wizarding world starship!

The knowledge that this was a real world and not a fictional world was shaken silently.

Really?fake?
I can't tell the difference.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that something was wrong with Link's mood, Senior Brother Shi asked with concern.

"I'm fine, senior brother, I just thought of something."

Link took a deep breath and regained his composure.

Hu Suqi's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

"Then...are we going in?"

Xu Huiyun didn't notice the changes here and asked timidly.

Min Ruohua sighed in his heart. He had been in the mountains for a long time and lacked experience in dealing with people.

After sighing, Min Ruohua said: "Senior Brother Shi, Junior Brother Lin, we have been traveling for so long. I want to rest for a while. I am a little tired."

"Huh? Are you tired?"

Xu Huiyun was a little confused.

The senior sister's cultivation level is higher than hers, and she is not tired. How could the senior sister be tired?

"tired."

Min Ruohua glanced at Xu Huiyun with a straight face and an expressionless expression.

In an instant, a burst of cold air shot up from the tailbone to the back of the head, and the fear of being dominated by the senior sister surged into his heart.

"Tired! Tired! I'm tired too!"

Xu Huiyun echoed the senior sister's words repeatedly.

"Then take a rest."

Brother Shi didn't wait for Link to speak and made a decision first.

Link agreed and accepted the kindness of several people.

The situation here was unclear, so he did not sit on the ground, but just stood.

Seeing that Link was deep in thought again, Senior Brother Shi winked at Hu Suqi, took her aside, and asked in a low voice: "What's so special about this door? Why did my Junior Brother feel something was wrong after seeing this door?"

Hu Suqi looked strange and replied: "This door reminds me of a legend. Maybe the change of junior brother is related to this legend."

"What legend?"

"According to legend, witches in ancient times were not born naturally among humans, but fell from the sky."

"Wait! Wu Jin is not human?"

"Witches are human beings, but the earliest witches in ancient times were not native humans."

"What you said makes me feel a little dizzy. What do you mean by not being a native human? Could it be that they are aliens?"

"The legend goes like this. The first witches in ancient times were visitors from outer space!"

When Senior Brother Shi heard this, his expression became as weird as Hu Suqi's.

After a long time, Senior Brother Shi swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty: "Is it possible that my Junior Brother is also a visitor from outer space?"

Hu Suqi nodded invisibly as she thought of Link's mysterious and unique secret techniques.

That's what she suspected.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the origin of those secret techniques.

Hu Suqi, through Senior Brother Shi, had a deep understanding of Link's life in the past ten years and was certain of one thing.

That is, before the Li Sisi incident, Link had not used the secret technique even once.

Senior Brother Shi had not yet gotten over his shock. He opened and closed his mouth, muttered words, and muttered to himself:
"Visitors from outer space?" (End of chapter)
