Chapter Six: The Valley

  The night-shrouded Qingyun Town suddenly fell into chaos at this moment.

  When Fang Tian Nan arrived outside the house, in front of this row of low and dilapidated houses, there were already two ordinary disciples of Qing Yun Sect standing. Seeing Fang Tian Nan's appearance, there was no surprise at all, but instead, their faces originally had a few points of fear.

  Fang Tian Nan was not familiar with these two people. Moreover, the whole row of houses should only have three people temporarily living in them, and the rest of the rooms were either empty or their owners were not at home tonight.

  In the small alley in front of the house, there were many young men who had already rushed to the square in the center of the town.

  Fang Tian Nan followed the crowd and also came onto the main street.

  At this time, Fang Tiannan saw that several young people who were not weak in their own right were rushing towards the direction of the earthquake. Fang Tiannan took a closer look and found that the mysterious vibration of the earth this time actually originated from the Youming Mountains.

  At first, Fang Tiannan thought it was a master of the True Person realm fighting in the vicinity of Qingyun Town. With the powerful strength of a True Person cultivator, it's still possible to create such a sensational effect. However, careful Fang Tiannan also discovered that his guess seemed not to be correct. Otherwise, the outer sect attendants of the Qingyun Pavilion on the square would not have reacted like this, without even a word of instruction or explanation, hastily rushing towards the Youming Mountains. The entire Qingyun Town should not have fallen into collective panic either.

  All I can say is that even the attendants in the Qingyun Pavilion are unclear about what exactly happened in the Youming Mountains.

  Something big is going to happen! Fang Tian Nan muttered to himself.

  Observing the people around, most of them showed a terrified expression. Some representatives from small groups of three to five people who were usually calm, now hesitated and made bold decisions, leading the people around them to decide whether to follow to the Mountains of Hades or stay in Qingyun Town.

  As for the outer disciples of Qingyun Town, Fang Tian Nan didn't see many. In comparison, the current Fang Tian Nan still doesn't have the awareness of being an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect, and the young disciples around him are also ordinary ones that he usually comes into contact with.

  As more and more people followed into the Youming Mountains, Fang Tian Nan thought for a moment, and couldn't help but follow along as well.

  。。。。。。

  There are many paths between Qingyun Town and Youming Mountain Range.

  Among them, there was a relatively spacious road that was already packed with people. Everyone's facial expressions were extremely hasty. The distinction between the strong and the weak was fully revealed at this moment of rushing on the road. Cultivators in the True Person realm basically rushed to the front of the queue, and the distance from the large group of warriors behind them also grew farther and farther apart.

  In the group of martial artists, there were many ordinary young men who lit torches during their journey.

  Flickering flames in the dark night, shining with specks of light. If someone looked down from the sky at this moment, they could vaguely see a long dragon formed by starry torches on the main road.

  Fang Tiannan did not choose the small road. For unknown things, Fang Tiannan deliberated and temporarily chose to follow the crowd, which was more suitable. Otherwise, relying solely on his Dark Energy Realm cultivation, he would not have achieved a good result in such a group event.

  Following the large group of martial artists, Fang Tian Nan walked for about half a moment when suddenly some commotion came from one side of the troops. Fang Tian Nan did not immediately go over to intervene. Gradually, it was learned from the casual conversation of several ordinary disciples in front that they had encountered people from the Bi Hai Sect.

  More and more people from Taihang Road have been showing up one after another.

  Three sects of people, each went their separate ways, quickly advancing on the main road without interfering with each other. Basically, the Qingyun Sect, Bihai Sect, and Taihang Gang three major sects are roughly the same distance from the Youming Mountains. The entire Youming Mountains can be said to belong to the common territory of the three sects, and young disciples of the three sects often appear.

  When the team arrived at the entrance of the Youming Mountains, they didn't need to carefully identify the direction. The sounds in front and the light from the burning torches were enough to clearly indicate which way the team should proceed. What made Fang Tian Nan feel a bit helpless was that the darkness within the Youming Mountains was originally full of crisis. Even so, Fang Tian Nan had encountered several major crises during his training process, all of which came from the darkness.

  At this time, the arrival of a large group of people actually made everyone's journey smoother.

  In the Youming Mountains, even the demonic beasts knew to temporarily avoid the humans' sharp blades. As for whether they trampled some low-ranking herbs during their journey, it was unknown. Under the cover of night, the entire Youming Mountains had an air of mystery and vagueness, except for a few crowded gathering points.

  Occasional conflicts within the team and a few loud noises only serve to highlight the surrounding tranquility.

  。。。。。。

  Fang Tian Nan's position is at the tail end of the entire team.

  Youngsters in this position are almost all ordinary disciples within their respective sects. Everyone's strength is also roughly the same, either being a Mingjin period or an Anjin period martial artist. As for whether they can become outer sect disciples of the sect, first, it requires luck to find valuable items; second, it requires accumulation over time.

  Without an unshakeable conviction in martial arts, it is almost impossible to become a outer door disciple of the sect.

  There are a few martial artists who have broken through to the stage of transforming their inner energy, but because they are slightly over twenty years old, they unfortunately did not reach 1,000 contribution points and are still just ordinary disciples. However, these people all occupy leadership positions in their respective small teams.

  It seems that it won't take much time to accumulate 1,000 contribution points like Fang Tian Nan. Even if his own luck is not good, he will still have the help of his companions. A disciple in a sect can't just rely on himself alone.

  Just like Fang Tian Nan, how could he have known about the information that only a small number of people who had transcended the Martial Artist realm could understand? Wasn't it those who had already become inner disciples of the sect secretly telling their friends who were still ordinary disciples, and then again being passed on by others?

  Subconsciously, Fang Tiannan's gaze swept over the two powerful warriors beside him, sizing them up. Quickly, as if afraid of being detected, Fang Tiannan withdrew his gaze.

  As the team advanced, Fang Tian Nan's face suddenly filled with a strange expression. Although it was dark at this time, even the burning torches couldn't see very far, and it was hard to clearly perceive the surroundings.

  But vaguely, Fang Tian Nan still felt that the direction they were heading in seemed a bit familiar!

  Suddenly, a premonition rose up in Fang Tiannan's heart. And the subsequent facts also proved that Fang Tiannan's premonition was not wrong. Whether it was the Qingyun Sect or the Bihai Sect and the Taihang Gang, everyone's destination was the small valley where Fang Tiannan had obtained the Light Source Stone.

  。。。。。。

  When Fang Tian Nan and his group arrived at the mountain valley, the entrance of the valley had already been divided and guarded by people from the three major sects. Except for personnel from the three major sects, other small sects and factions in the surrounding area were not allowed to enter. Unless your strength is enough to easily cross over the high mountains on both sides of the valley without entering through the entrance, then it has nothing to do with these guarding personnel.

  The entrance of the entire valley was bustling with people, even more lively than Qingyun Town.

  Descendants of the three major sects, each holding their own identity tokens, authenticate with the guards and then can enter the valley one after another.

  Fang Tian Nan was not in a hurry, instead he waited at the entrance for a while, roughly understanding that someone inside the valley had accidentally triggered an ancient restriction, causing the previous ground tremors. At this moment, high-level personnel from the three major sects had also arrived in the valley.

  This filled Fang Tian Nan's face with a puzzled expression.

  Generally speaking, where there are forbidden places, especially considering the intensity of the earthquake just now, it is inevitable that there will be treasures and precious things appearing under such prohibition. As for such a place, since even high-ranking personnel from the sect have come, why would they still allow ordinary disciples to enter?

  This isn't making a fuss, is it? In Fang Tian Nan's view, even if one is an outer sect disciple of the sect, when facing such opportunities, the sect may not necessarily allow them to enter. Unless they are inner sect disciples or the sect's administrators and elders.

  After some thought, Fang Tian Nan could only conclude that this seal was special and required a large number of people to lift it. Alternatively, the seal might be filled with danger, and the high-ranking members of the sect were worried about the heavy casualties among their disciples, so they wanted to use ordinary disciples' lives to explore the seal.

  It doesn't matter what the specific situation in the valley is, since Fang Tiannan has already come and brought so many people with him, he won't be afraid of any disaster happening to himself. If there really is a great calamity beyond the expectations of the sect's high-level personnel, Fang Tiannan can only accept it.

  There seemed to be a kind of impulse drawing Fang Tian Nan into the valley as soon as possible.
