The owner of Yaowang Valley is a patient with depression

"Let's go back first. We'll take a look in this town tomorrow." Yu Yao said. She was not sure yet and she wanted to wait and see.

Nalan Xiu thought about it and nodded. He would go explore this mysterious village tomorrow.

When the two returned to the post station, the door was tightly closed.

Yu Yao went forward and knocked on the door. It opened soon. Zhang Bo looked at them strangely and said, "You two are back so early? Is there nothing you like in this market?"

"I didn't expect there would be such rare treasures here." Nalan Xiu exclaimed. The key point is that those people look like ordinary people with average cultivation.

"Although the treasure is good, we can't afford it." Yu Yao looked at Zhang Bo with clear eyes.

"You can't afford it, so you came back?" Zhang Bo seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he said. He quickly put on a smile and said, "It's good that you're back. Go and have a rest, both of you."

After Yuyao and the other person walked away, Zhang Bo looked at their figures and muttered, "Did they find help? This shouldn't be the case..."

Nalan Xiu naturally had his own guesses, but he did not ask Yuyao for confirmation. The two returned to their respective rooms and fell asleep amid the noisy sounds.

The next day, it was dawn.

When Yu Yao walked out of the room, she saw Nalan Xiu who had been waiting at the door.

"You're up really early."

"It seems that Miss Yuyao slept well." Nalan Xiu said. He couldn't calm down last night, especially the flower of life that was as tall as a person. It was simply shocking.

"Mr. Nalan, it seems that your concentration needs to be strengthened." Yu Yao joked.

Nalan Xiu shrugged. Although he was not as good as her, he thought that his willpower was better than that of ordinary people. If it were an ordinary person, he would have taken action last night. Those were just ordinary people with very ordinary cultivation. Any expert could kill them and rob these treasures.

"Have you seen Uncle Zhang?" Yu Yao asked. The two of them had already walked out of the gate of the post station. The outside had returned to the desolation of yesterday's dusk. The ground was full of dust and sand. There were no exquisite and dazzling red lanterns in front of the scattered simple houses. The doors of every household were basically closed.

Nalan Xiu shook his head.

The two walked on the empty street for a long time but didn't see anyone.

At this time, Yu Yao looked towards a house not far ahead, and saw some ordinary herbs and some food drying at the door.

Nalan Xiu followed Yu Yao's gaze and saw this family, "I'll go take a look."

Nalan Xiu strode forward and knocked on the door gently.

Just when they thought no one would open the door, it creaked open and inside came an elderly man with a hunched back, gray hair, and a cane.

The old woman's face was covered with wrinkles, and the years showed their fullness. Her eyes were also a little cloudy.

"Old man, can I ask you something?" Nalan straightened his clothes and said softly.

"When did you two come?" The old man did not answer Nalan Xiu's question, but asked on his own.

"Last night." Nalan Xiu answered very politely.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but the old man's eyes seemed to be much clearer. He then sighed heavily, "I didn't expect that after all these years, someone would finally be able to resist the temptation. Their resentment should be gone."

Seeing Yuyao and the other's puzzled looks, the old man motioned for them to go into the house.

It turned out that this place used to be a quiet town with few outsiders. One day, the ground suddenly began to shake, and then a secret realm appeared. The secret realm was full of rare treasures. Although most of the people in the town were cultivators, the highest level of cultivation was only so-so. At first, everyone was very happy. With these treasures, they could assist in cultivation and exchange for more resources. But before the good days began, the nightmare came.

The news of the secret realm leaked out, and the news that this quiet little town had a treasure of unparalleled value also spread. In just a few days, waves of robberies and killings turned this town into a living hell. From the sneaky assassinations at night to the robberies and killings in broad daylight, this town suffered wave after wave of massacres.

They were even afraid that they would escape with the treasures, so the entire town was surrounded in three layers. Even if they escaped from the city, they would be robbed and killed outside the city.

"You can't imagine, the flames that blazed day and night, the heartbreaking screams, the corpses and remains all over the ground, and the rivers of blood." The old man's voice was hoarse, and it sounded as if he had used up all his strength to say every word.

"This... I have never heard of it!" Nalan Xiu was a little bit unbelievable, how could he not know such a thing!

“At the time, it seemed that everyone agreed with this matter. After all, what appeared here was too shocking.” The old man’s eyes began to become empty, as if he was lost in some memories.

"What happens next?" Yu Yao asked softly.

"After that, this place experienced a month-long bloodbath. The entire town was searched over and over again. The bodies of the elderly, the weak, women and children had already rotted and stank, but those people still searched every corner of the town without a care. Those who had some fighting ability fought to the last moment, and not even a complete corpse was left. Finally, those demons left."

The old man continued to talk to himself: "In this way, no one in the whole town took care of the corpses. Slowly, the corpses rotted and mixed with the land. Do you think they can accept this?"

Neither Nalan Xiu nor Yu Yao said anything, the tragic scene appeared in their minds.

"Yes, how could they be willing! Maybe it was God's help, and the secret realm appeared again. When the secret realm disappeared, those dead people turned into evil spirits, and the things that were once robbed were given again with their appearance. However, when they left, those things would also dissipate."

"This is what you said, it is both true and false, so that's it." Nalan Xiu looked at Yu Yao with admiration.

Yu Yao shook her head, then looked at the old man: "So, they stayed here and killed all those who coveted the rare treasures."

"Yes, they were born out of hatred, and they stayed in this world naturally for revenge." The old man said excitedly: "For so many years, you are the only one who has withstood the temptation and has not shown a trace of greed."

"If my guess is correct, even if we didn't rob them, even if we were willing to exchange our lives for these treasures, we would still be killed by them because of our greed." Nalan Xiu said. Only then did he understand the look in those people's eyes that night.

"That's right!" The old man looked at Yu Yao and the others, "You may have solved their obsession."
