The Emperor said a word, and his body flickered. He pinched out strange seals in the air with his fingers, then struck them on the ground. He could only move within a range of about ten meters around Qin Lingyu. If he went any further, there would be a risk of his soul dissipating. After all, his soul was temporarily residing in that red, strange feather.

  "I didn't expect this mountain valley to be a semi-yin place, and the two young masters of the Xiao family said that there is a great possibility that there is an extremely yin place inside." Xing Emperor floated back to Qin Lingyun's side.

  "So you never trusted the Xiao brothers all along." Qin Lingyun whispered.

  Xing Di coldly snorted and said, "One must always be on guard against others, who knows if the Xiao brothers have ulterior motives. Don't forget that you offended that female cultivator named Lin Wanrong, she has an entire sect backing her, it's possible they've detected your trail and will use the Xiao brothers to set a trap for you, let's see how you'll die then."

  "You're being too cautious." Although she said so, Qin Lingyun's eyes involuntarily flashed a hint of vigilance.

  Although what Xingdi said was unpleasant to hear, it is always necessary to maintain some vigilance at any time.

  At this time, Xiao Hanshui gazed forward, as if searching for a path. The ground here was covered with vines, and there was no road. The entire valley was shrouded in white mist, making it difficult to find the correct path and accurately enter that hidden cave.

  After a short while, Xiao Hanshuang's eyes sparkled with joy: "I've already found the mark."

  Following the direction of Xiao Han's finger, Qin Lingyun finally found the mark in a corner of the big tree. It was an arrowhead that shone with a faint fluorescent light, and if you didn't pay attention, it would be easy to overlook.

  Xiao Zhennan strode forward, his right hand behind him, and with a burst of strength, he drew out the broad-bladed great sword. With a swing of his arm, a surge of spiritual energy mixed with the sword's own pressure swept forward, cutting down a patch of shrubs. The whirlwind vortex transformed from the spiritual energy rolled to one side, revealing a stretch of bare ground.

  "These things grow too fast, it's not long before they cover up the roads that have been opened up again." Xiao Zhennan shook his head and said.

  Looking at Xiao Zhen Nan's sturdy arms and attacking methods, Qin Lingyun could determine that Xiao Zhen Nan was a warrior who mainly used close-range attacks.

  Being tall and strong has its advantages, you can walk ahead and clear the way, Qin Lingyun doesn't have to worry so much.

  The entire valley was humid and foggy, Qin Lingyun's divine sense swept across, in the bushes and on the branches of large trees, all sorts of venomous snakes were coiled everywhere, looking ferocious and terrifying. However, these venomous snakes did not dare to get close to them because of the雄黄粉 on their bodies.

  They gradually went deeper into the valley.

  Qin Lingyun took a moment to transmit her voice to Xingdi: "Just now you didn't say what the Half-Yin Land and the Extreme Yin Land are."

  The Star Emperor floating beside him said, "Between heaven and earth, there are the two energies of yin and yang. They permeate everything between heaven and earth, not just the ground, but all things around us are composed of these two energies. The land of extreme yin refers to a place where there is no yang energy at all, only yin energy. However, yin energy also has different levels, it's just that I don't know what level the land of extreme yin in the Poisonous Snake Valley is."

  "The land of semi-yin refers to when night falls, all yang energy will be completely expelled, this is the land of semi-yin."

  Qin Lingyun said: "Will there be any danger in this extremely yin place?"

  "A place with absolutely no yang energy is likely to give birth to extremely yin objects. The cave spider mentioned by the Xiao brothers doesn't seem to be an extremely yin object, so I'm quite skeptical that it's a later intruder into the cave. Of course, there might be other reasons; without investigating further, we can't clarify the true cause."

  Qin Lingyun followed behind the Xiao brothers, walking easily into the depths of the valley, with signs guiding them along the way, and their direction was also correct.

  Suddenly, Qin Lingyun's consciousness moved, and she sensed that there were many demon beasts in front of her. They were a kind of poisonous snake with golden scales all over their bodies, not very big, about the thickness of a small finger. That was a first-class lower-grade demon beast, the Golden Thread Snake.

  The Golden Thread Snake is a very peculiar demon beast, its defensive capabilities are extremely strong, the golden scales all over its body can withstand even low-grade spiritual artifacts, but its attacking abilities are very poor, basically using a small Golden Seal, forming a low-level Golden Shield, it's absolutely impossible to break through.

  But Qin Lingyun sensed a hint of danger from among the many golden thread snakes.

  "There are many golden thread snakes ahead." Qin Lingyun spoke, her spiritual sense covering a range that was originally much broader than that of an ordinary Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator's spiritual sense, not to mention the Xiao brothers' whose spiritual senses had yet to reach the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

  Xiao Zhennan said with a swagger: "If that group of beasts had just arrived, I would have given them some color to see."

  Seeing the Xiao brothers' nonchalant expressions, Qin Lingyun knew it was because the Golden Thread Snake didn't pose much of a threat. However, she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something unusual about this Golden Thread Snake.

  "Brush... brush..."

  At this time, a bunch of golden thread snakes flew over from afar. This is one of the abilities of the golden thread snake, called bouncing. With a flick of its tail on branches or ground, its body can shoot out like an arrow, and the impact force is not trivial.

  At the moment when the Golden Thread Snake flew out, Xiao Jia brothers and Qin Lingyun had already activated the Small Metal Symbol. Three pale yellow semi-transparent shields like eggshells wrapped around their bodies.

  Little Golden Shield protects the whole body in all directions, making it much safer. Xiao Zhen Nan's broadsword with a wide blade was raised in his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy flowed into the sword. Immediately, a half-foot-long sword aura burst out from the blade.

  Xiao Zhennan immediately found himself battling numerous golden thread snakes, whose scaly armor had an astonishing defensive power. Although Xiao Zhennan managed to sweep a few of them away, the beheaded golden thread snakes fell to the ground only to spring back to life and start jumping around again in no time.

  "These detestable beasts." Xiao Zhennan's face was filled with a hint of disgust.

  Xiao Hanshui said: "Don't bother with these golden thread snakes, they can't break the small Golden Armor, this place is not far from the cave, let's go directly."

  Qin Lingyun nodded in agreement. She had never made a move, but her expression was vigilant because she always felt that something was off.

  Xiao Zhennan indeed ignored the golden thread snakes and walked straight forward, allowing those golden thread snakes to collide with the Vajra shield, making a series of crackling sounds.

  At this moment, Qin Lingyun's sense of danger suddenly intensified. She swept her divine consciousness and slapped the storage bag. A black light flew out and hit a small cluster of golden shadows that had been blown out.

  "What's going on?" Xiao Zhennan was stunned for a moment.

  At this time, the Xiao brothers had already seen clearly that the golden shadow was also a golden thread snake, but its body was much smaller than the average golden thread snake, and there was a strange crown on its head.

  "Look! That's the Golden Thread Snake King! How is that possible? We didn't see it at all when we came last time!"

  Xiao Hanshui's heart still had lingering fear as he said, "Fortunately, Qin Daoyou discovered it early. If not, the Golden Thread Snake King would have been able to shatter the Small Golden Shield in one strike. If you were hit by the Golden Thread Snake King's venom, I'm afraid your life would be in danger."

  The Golden Thread Snake King is a variant of the Golden Thread Snake that has surpassed the lower rank and reached the middle rank. After mutation, its weakness of relatively weak attack power has been compensated, and the Golden Thread Snake King moves like the wind, with an impact force of at least several times that of ordinary Golden Thread Snakes. Its teeth can secrete a highly toxic venom that can paralyze people in an extremely short period of time, leaving no time for treatment.

  "I just don't know how many of these golden striped snake kings there are. Usually, they come in pairs, one male and one female. I'm worried that there might be another one lurking nearby." Qin Lingyun's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she spoke.

  "First, let's deal with this one. The Golden Thread Snake King is quite formidable, but its scales make for excellent material to refine equipment. If we sell it to a merchant, we can earn a handsome sum." said Xiao Zhennan.

  Ordinarily, golden thread snakes are worthless, so few monks come here to kill them. The Golden Thread King is different, its value is very high, but it's also extremely difficult to kill.

  The Golden Thread Snake King missed its first strike and immediately hid among the many golden thread snakes, but it had already been locked onto by the divine senses of the three people, making a sneak attack impossible.

  Xiao Hanshui's hands formed a seal, and a flame in the shape of a face spread out in all directions. All the golden thread snakes that came into contact with the flames were scorched and crackling. Xiao Zhennan's great sword danced through the air, its movements simple yet effective. The golden thread snakes that had been burned by the flames did not die, but their defensive strength was greatly reduced. When the great sword struck them, they were immediately cut in two.

  The Xiao brothers all took action, and Qin Lingyun naturally couldn't stay idle either. She mainly manipulated the Wū Zhēn, transforming it into a dark light that continuously collided with the golden thread snakes engulfed in flames. Wherever it went, the golden thread snakes snapped apart one after another.

  The Golden Thread Snake King saw the number of Golden Thread Snakes decreasing, and immediately rushed towards Xiao Hanshui. He realized that it was Xiao Hanshui's flames that had lowered the Golden Thread Snakes' defense, so he wanted to kill him first.

  Xiao Hanshui's face revealed a smile with an air of confidence, and then Qin Lingyun saw a black copper ring suddenly put on the Golden Thread Snake King, tightly locking it in place.

  "Hurry up and kill it." Xiao Hanshui urged, maintaining the black copper ring was obviously going to consume a lot of spiritual power, he couldn't keep it up for much longer.

  Xiao Zhennan raised his great sword, and spiritual energy poured in continuously. Soon, the entire great sword shone like daylight, with a strong edge, and slashed down forcefully. At the same time, Qin Lingyun also manipulated the dark spear to charge forward.

  The golden thread snake king struggled with all its might, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't escape. Just as it was about to be struck, another golden thread snake king of roughly the same size suddenly darted out from the other side.

  Qin Lingyun whispered, "I've been waiting for you to appear." However, the Xiao brothers were extremely shocked. They had already been entangled by this golden thread snake king and at this moment, they did not have the ability to attack another golden thread snake king again.
