Chapter 854: Blood-Soaked MountainLan Yingying and Feng Yuxiang also went to the east side of the city after searching their area with no results. "Did you guys find anything special? My side was empty." Yuan asked them. "Nothing, but I'm not surprised. This place hasn't been visited by anyone beside the demons for millions of years. I'd be shocked if anything but spiritual treasures lasted that long." "Then let's take a quick look at this last area before we leave this place." Yuan said, and they began walking through the east side of the city. After walking for about ten minutes, Feng Yuxiang suddenly stopped and frowned. "What's the matter, Feng Feng? Did you find something?" Yuan asked her. "Not something. Someone. Although faint, I can sense a presence up ahead." "Someone? Who could it be? I don't smell any demons." Yuan said. "I think it's a human cultivator." Yuan frowned and said, "Let's go!" Feng Yuxiang nodded and picked up her pace, leading the others to this unknown presence. Once they were close enough to see the person behind this presence with their divine sense, they stopped to analyze the situation. "A human cultivator. He doesn't seem to be conscious. But what's he doing down here?" Feng Yuxiang said. "Do you think this person could be that woman's missing son? Maybe the demons captured him and brought him here." Yuan speculated.𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 "That's possible, but we won't know for sure until we speak with him. Please wait here while I make sure it isn't a trap, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said. Yuan nodded and allowed Feng Yuxiang to go first. Sometime later, Feng Yuxiang approached this man and nudged him with her feet, almost like she was seeing if he was a corpse. "Hey, wake up." "Ugh... My head hurts like hell..." The man muttered in a low voice as he sat up and looked at his surroundings. "Where am I? Who are you?" The man asked Feng Yuxiang a moment later. "You're currently underground, beneath the Demons' Valley. How did you get here? And who are you?" "Demons' Valley...?" The man looked puzzled for a moment before snapping out of his daze and jumping to his feet. "That's right! I remember now! I came to the Demons' Valley with my friends, but just as we were leaving, this group of demons appeared out of the blue and captured us! They ate my friends and even forced me to watch! What happened to the demons?!" The man began panicking after recalling his memories. "I see... So you're really that woman's missing son. Anyways, we have already dealt with the demons. You don't need to worry about it anymore." "You dealt with the demons...?" The man stared at her with a dazed face. "Not me. My Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said. "Follow me." Sometime later, Feng Yuxiang returned to Yuan with the man. "Young Master, this person really turned out to be that woman's missing son. According to him, he was captured by the demons." Feng Yuxiang explained the situation to Yuan. "Wait... You know my mother?" Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, we met her on the way here. She was worried sick that you didn't return home in time and stood in front of the Demons' Valley. We agreed to help her find you after hearing her story." "I see... Thank you very much for coming here and saving my life. I would've been food for those demons if you'd arrived any later. I don't even want to imagine my mother grieving over my death..." The man sighed. "I wish I can repay this debt, but I have nothing on me." "Don't worry about it. We didn't do this for any reward." Yuan shook his head. "Still, I can't just leave without giving you anything..." The man pondered for a moment before speaking, "Oh! I know!" "Although I cannot give you anything of value, I can lead you to something of value! You see, after being captured by the demons, I overheard them talking about a treasure that'd recently appeared inside the Blood-Soaked Mountain! I don't know what kind of treasure it is, but they seemed very excited about it." "A treasure within Blood-Soaked Mountain, huh..." Yuan mumbled in a pondering voice. "Where is this Blood-Soaked Mountain?" Feng Yuxiang asked. "I'm not really sure, but it's within the Demons' Valley." The man said. "I know where it is." Yuan suddenly said. "It's a little far from here, but it's not too bad if we fly straight there." "If you don't mind, I would like to return to my mother now." The man asked them a moment later. Yuan nodded, "Go ahead. The exit is over there." "Once again, thank you for saving my life and sparing my mother from grief." The man bowed to them before leaving. "Are you sure about this, Young Master? There are still many unanswered questions about his situation and his mother..." Feng Yuxiang asked him after the man left. "It's fine. I doubt we really need to know these answers, anyway." "If you say so." Ding! "Are we going to the Blood-Soaked Mountain now?" Feng Yuxiang asked as they left the underground area. "Yes, I am really interested in this treasure. If we fly straight there, it should only take us half a day to get there." "I understand." After leaving the underground area, Yuan and Feng Yuxiang began flying towards the Blood-Soaked Mountain while Lan Yingying transformed back into a bracelet to rest. "Truly an impressive lad. I didn't expect him to deal with the demons so quickly and effortlessly. And his growth... It's almost terrifying. Who could've predicted that we would find a monster like him in that small place?" The man that had been captured by the demons watched Yuan and Feng Yuxiang disappear into the horizon with a profound smile on his face. Once he could no longer see their figure, the man's appearance began distorting, transforming into a handsome middle-aged man. "If it's him... Perhaps he can defeat that man..." The man created a portal and disappeared into it shortly after..
