More than 200 meters above the ground, on the treetop, Gu Xiechen flashed by like a wisp of green smoke.

  His long-sleeved Taoist robe fluttered as he flew, the three wheels of the bright moon hanging high above his head. The hazy moonlight shrouded Gu Xiechen's body, making it seem almost translucent as he sped by. His toes lightly touched the treetops, and with a gentle whoosh, Gu Xiechen glided over a hundred meters away, leaving Hua and Xiao Zhang stunned by this unbelievable movement.

  Huà's powerful physical strength burst forth as he sprinted across the ground, his feet digging deep holes into the soft earth of the forest. The massive counterforce propelled Huà's body forward like a cannonball, accompanied by a dull whooshing sound. As he ran, Huà occasionally lifted his head to gaze at Gu Xiǎo Dùn with a mix of envy and confusion. Gu Xiǎo Dùn's movements were truly too mysterious; Huà couldn't fathom how he could move almost like flying, darting between the treetops - even a First-Order Warrior shouldn't possess this ability!

  Xiao Zhang Dao Ren closely followed Gu Xie Chen, flying over the treetops for about twenty kilometers. After twenty kilometers, Xiao Zhang Dao Ren was already panting and almost couldn't muster up a single breath of true energy. The towering trees of Tian Tang Xing were indeed enormous, majestic, and grand, but the delicate branches and leaves at their tops were as tender as those of ordinary small trees. The slender branches and leaves provided no support, and every time his body stepped on the treetops, he had to rely on his dense cultivation to forcibly lift himself up and fly forward.

  After twenty years of bitter cultivation, the true energy in Zhang's dantian was almost enough to form a small elixir. The enraged Zhang glared at Gu Xiechen's back and muttered curses as he lifted his Taoist robe and pulled out two green bamboo leaves. After whispering an incantation, Zhang spat on the leaves, using the residual yuan energy to activate the spiritual symbols attached to them. Two green tadpole-shaped symbols flashed on the leaves before Zhang slapped them onto his calf.

  With a whoosh, Zhang's toes lightly touched the treetop and he shot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring, covering over 300 meters in an instant. This speed, this movement, was simply frightening. With his hands behind his back, Zhang proudly raised his head, chin up, and swept past Gu Xiang from a distance.

  Guxia Chen smiled slightly, and he continuously injected his true energy into the cloud boots under his feet. A faint cloud light covered his feet, and Guxia Chen also accelerated his running speed. He ran shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Zhang Dao Ren. Without even panting, Guxia Chen smiled at Xiao Zhang Dao Ren: "Daozhang, everything in that valley belongs to me. If you come across anything valuable, please don't cheat me!"

  Xiao Zhang Daoren furrowed his brow, and the same Xiao Zhang Daoren who was hastily rushing forward cursed to himself: "Besides Jin Wu Tian Huo, what else could be valuable in that mountain valley? Valuable things, weren't they all dug out by you a long time ago?" Thinking about it, Gu Xie Chen really couldn't have left any good things behind in the mountain valley. Now that he and Gu Xie Chen were still in a cooperative relationship, Xiao Zhang Daoren immediately agreed.

  "I'll screw your eighteen generations of ancestors, you two stinky cow noses!"

  On the ground, Hua's eyes were bulging with blood as he sprinted forward. His leg muscles twitched violently and he stomped his feet heavily on the ground. With a loud "Boom Boom" sound, huge holes five meters deep appeared one after another on the forest floor. Hua accelerated his speed, dashing forward frantically. However, Hua's power was too great, and the noise he made while running was extremely frightening.

  Suddenly, Hua's strength was not well controlled, and he crashed head-on into a large tree with a diameter of several meters in front of him. With a loud "crack", wood chips flew everywhere, and Hua forcefully smashed open a two-meter-wide hole in the tree trunk, charging forward like a mad wild boar to catch up with Gu Xuan Dust.

  Several kilometers away, a sturdy man who was closely following Xing Jia suddenly raised his head in surprise, muttering to himself in a low voice: "Qīng zhú líng yún fá? This symbol, it looks so familiar."

  He shook his head and the strong man whispered: "The yuan god is damaged, but the origin of this Qingtong Lingyuncao has been forgotten."

  After rushing for three hours, Gu Xiechen brought Hua and Xiao Zhang to the entrance of the valley where he had obtained the treasure. The entrance to this valley was just a narrow mountain seam, with giant trees covering it above, and dense forests inside, making it impossible to detect even with high-precision reconnaissance satellites. Standing at the entrance of the valley, Xiao Zhang sighed: "If Mr. Gu Xiechen hadn't brought us here, we might have spent years searching for this treasure land in vain."

  Gu Xie dust proudly smiled, he put his hands behind his back and nodded: "Less idle talk, let's hurry into the valley to take a look. If there are still things that interest you, we can also estimate their value early!"

  "Estimated price", as soon as the words came out, Xiao Zhang and Huahua simultaneously rolled their eyes, even Sai Ni and Aridiya, who had followed in a small transport boat, couldn't help but shake their heads.

  Xiao Zhang let out a sigh, and once again lifted the front of his Taoist robe. With a flick of his hand, a purple bronze compass appeared in Xiao Zhang's hand. He took four steps, muttering to himself as he walked back and forth, then suddenly slapped his own forehead hard.

  A loud "crack" sound was very frightening, Gu Xie Cen stared at Xiao Zhang Daoren in shock and asked: "Xiao Zhang Daoren, what's wrong with you?"

  "Ah, a land of great feng shui! I never would have thought that this place is actually a site where nine yang energies converge, with nine dragons hidden beneath the earth, gathering wind and energy, and purple qi rising up. This is a naturally formed place that can dispel evil spirits and demons, it's truly the ultimate sacred land for our Daoist cultivators!"

  Gu Xiechen smiled a few times, and with the demeanor of a host, invited Xiao Zhang Daoren and Huahua to enter the valley. Gu Xiechen said with some pride: "Since this is a supreme treasure land, we must make good use of it. Hmm, I wonder if this mountain valley can be exchanged for two high-energy physics experts?" This time, Gu Xiechen had made up his mind to extort a large sum from the Asian Dao Alliance, having vaguely heard rumors that several of the most advanced laboratories in Asia had the shadow of the Asian Dao Alliance behind them.

  Xiao Zhang's face turned black, and he quickly stuffed the compass into his Taoist robe, muttering: "Maybe, maybe not? This valley, perhaps it's not suitable for us cultivators after all. Hehe, this matter, let's talk about it later, we'll discuss it when the time comes!"

  "Alright, let's talk about it later."

  Gu Xiechen decisively parted the wisteria vines that covered the entrance to the valley, leading a group of people into the valley. They bypassed the rugged and difficult-to-traverse mountain crevices, bypassing the cinnamon forest outside the crevices, and suddenly, the peach orchard with its lush vitality appeared before everyone's eyes. Gu Xiechen had already experienced a visual shock once, but Sai Zi and Aridiya were mesmerized by this stunning peach orchard for the first time.

  Under the moonlight, petals of peach blossoms fell one by one, and the moon's halo cast a gentle glow on them. Saijin gently wrapped his arms around Aridyah's waist, gazing at her with deep affection as she suddenly became a bit weak. Saijin's lips, slightly shimmering with silver light, parted as he spoke tenderly: "Beloved Aridyah, on such a beautiful night, don't you think..."

  "Huh?"

  Aridiya hummed softly.

  "Don't you think it's a wonderful night? Shouldn't you let me use my true energy to restore my appearance?"

  Sai Ren made a face at Aridy, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes squinting, the purple and green bruises on his face making him look like a clown.

  Aradiya's simple and crude fist slammed into Sain's chin. Gu Xiandu even saw a faint flame flashing between Aradiya's fingers. Gu Xiandu instinctively drew a cross on his chest, then clasped his hands in prayer: "Infinite Heavenly Lord above, this is truly terrifying! Too pitiful!"

  He gazed at the vast peach forest in front of him with a look of disgust, taking deep breaths as his muscles trembled uncontrollably. This was the land of Jiuyang, where the natural environment suppressed the dark and evil energy within him. The peach trees had an extraordinary ability to ward off evil spirits, and this forest, which was thousands of years old, possessed a powerful force that was frightening. As soon as he entered the valley, he felt uneasy all over, and when he saw the peach forest, it was as if his entire body was being burned by fire.

  He let out a cold snort, and a large amount of dense black air burst out from his body, isolating the pure Yang energy from the outside world. Huahua nodded in satisfaction.

  Gu Xie Chen looked at Mo Hua in shock, the corpse energy emitted by Mo Hua was at least twice as pure as when he saw him in London. The yin evil energy in the corpse energy was so strong that it was frightening, and a stream of evil energy continuously surged towards Gu Xie Chen, as if it were a living thing trying to invade his pores. It was clear that this was also a change brought about by the dryad's blood to Mo Hua. Gu Xie Chen pursed his lips, and his heart thumped violently several times.

  Xiao Zhang Daoren's performance was beyond everyone's expectation. When this piece of peach blossom forest with a history of thousands of years appeared in front of everyone, Xiao Zhang Daoren's eyes suddenly turned into a hungry wolf-like pale green color. He seemed to have eaten some strong ***** and saw the tender little beauty like an old wolf, letting out a loud "wow" as he pounced towards the peach blossom forest.

  Xiao Zhang's hands were shaking, his body was trembling, and the corners of his mouth twitched with incoherent howls: "Heavens! Thousand-year peach wood, thousand-year peach wood! Heavens, three years ago, Xiao Ye Zhen Jun from Mao Mountain stole a thousand-year peach wood from his master and sold it on the black market for over 40 million! This is the top material for making the 'Nine Thunder Exorcism Sword'!"

  "Wait, wait!" Gu Xiachen's eyes lit up as he rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Daoren's shoulder. With a smile, Gu Xiachen asked Zhang Daoren, "Master, what did you just say? A thousand-year-old peach wood the size of an arm sells for over 40 million on the black market? Then how much are these countless ten-thousand-year-old peach trees worth?"

  He stared blankly, then suddenly hugged his belly and burst out laughing. Taomu and the Jiuyou Dao people had a grudge, not one of the Jiuyou Dao disciples had good feelings towards Taomu. But it was different for the small Zhang Dao people who practiced the orthodox Daoist techniques, the value of the thousand-year-old Taomu to them was simply immeasurable. Gu Xiechen's knife would definitely cut down the Asian Dao Alliance's major sects, led by Xiao Zhang Dao, in a bloody massacre!

  "How magnificent!" Huahua counted on her fingers: "This one Muwan peach tree is at least worth ten million arms, tsk tsk, this price, ah!"

  Xiao Zhang's face turned deathly pale as he slapped himself hard, his eyes rolling wildly. Gu Xiechen immediately burst out laughing: "Don't even think about killing me to silence me, I'm now a Colonel in the Earth Federation Army. Three Witch Sect may have personal grievances with me, but if you dare lay a hand on me, just think about how many Federation troops are stationed on this Heavenly Star?"

  The words had barely fallen when a loud and solemn voice suddenly echoed through the entire valley.

  "The Lord is merciful; before the Lord, all you straying lambs, put down the butcher knife in your heart!"

  A gentle fragrance wafted in, and Andrei, the Red Robed Archbishop, led a charge of at least over 500 elite heavy armored knights into the valley.

  Even from a distance, Andrei nodded in greeting with a friendly smile.

  Gu Xie dusted off his smile and scattered a handful of fragrant bait. The first fish that bit the hook arrived.
