Hopeless Valley, hidden among the lush green mountains, is a forbidden place in the hearts of all the cultivators in Zhongzhou of Tianyuan Continent.

This place is surrounded by thick fog all year round, and sunlight can hardly penetrate, giving people a mysterious and depressing feeling.

The spiritual energy in the valley is thin, as if it is imprisoned by an invisible force. Practitioners here find it difficult to feel the spiritual charm of the world, and all feel a sense of loss and helplessness in their hearts.

Ji Xiuzhu led a few people into the valley, and found that it was very different from what it looked like outside.

There was a dead air all around outside, but in the valley there was gurgling water, reflecting the green bamboos.

However, the seemingly peaceful water flow is actually freezing cold.

As Ji Xiuzhu and his companions walked, they heard faint whispers coming from the valley, as if those monks who were lost here were whispering their regrets and despair.

Hopeless Valley was once the place where countless immortal cultivators pursued immortality and the supreme method, but it became a nightmare for many due to the depletion of its spiritual energy.

Moreover, many monks did not believe in evil and came here because of its reputation, but they got lost here and eventually turned into wandering ghosts.

This Hopeless Valley is like a mirror. Those with pure minds will be as clear as autumn water and will not be affected at all.

But if someone is obsessed with something and stays in the valley for a long time, he will get lost in it. After a long time, he will become a walking corpse until he dies.

"Master, are there ghosts in this valley? Could these cries be the cries of ghosts?"

After Cui Yunshen finished speaking, he subconsciously reached out to grab Ji Xiuzhu's sleeve.

But the valley was filled with mist and he was blinded by it, so he grabbed Qin Lan's sleeve.

Qin Lan felt her sleeve being pulled, and her eyes moved, so she looked behind her.

As a result, Cui Yunshen was seen looking around, with his hand tightly pulling his sleeve.

Seeing this, Qin Lan wanted to shake him off, but then she thought that after she shook him off, he might pull Ji Xiuzhu's sleeve.

So, his heart tightened, and he reached out and held Cui Yunshen's hand.

In order to prevent Cui Yunshen from breaking free, Qin Lan even clasped her fingers with his.

Cui Yunshen noticed something strange under his hand, so he looked up along the direction of his hand. As a result, he was met with Qin Lan's death gaze.

Cui Yunshen was startled. Just as he was about to break free from Qin Lan and pull back his hand, he saw that Qin Lan not only increased the strength of her hand, but also clamped his arm in her armpits.

For a moment, Cui Yunshen couldn't stand and could only bump into Qin Lan's back.

Qin Lan didn't care whether Cui Yunshen felt uncomfortable in this position or not. She just smiled contemptuously and said, "Don't be afraid, little junior brother. I will protect you."

To Cui Qin and the others, these words were full of irony in various senses.

But in the eyes of Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yanyan, the way the two of them acted did seem a bit like "flirting".

For a moment, Cui Yanyan actually put her arm around Ji Xiuzhu with a blushing face.

Ji Xiuzhu didn't think there was anything wrong at first, until the two of them walked past her with their fingers interlocked, gritting their teeth.

She then discovered that the pedantic gene in her bones was starting to stir.

Ji Xiuzhu: What the hell? They are holding hands. When did these two get together? They are doing this behind my back!

Cui Yunshen and Qin Lan naturally didn't know that at this moment, there were two pairs of red eyes staring at them from behind, and their eyes were extremely hot.

Qin Lan and Cui Yunshen walked "intimately" in front, completely unaware of the expressions of the two people behind them.

"Senior Ji, when did you say they got together? They shouldn't be what I thought, right?" Cui Yanyan asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"This, I don't know either! However, if they have that idea, I can actually accept it reluctantly..." Ji Xiuzhu's heart gradually became abnormal, and he even wanted to kowtow.

At this moment, Qin Lan seemed to feel the gazes from behind him and looked back. He saw his master and Cui Yanyan staring at him like hungry wolves, which made him feel uneasy.

"Tsk." Seeing this, Qin Lan thought that she and Cui Yunshen were walking too slowly, which made Ji Xiuzhu a little unhappy, so she pulled Cui Yunshen to walk faster.

"Hey, wait for us!" Cui Yanyan hurriedly chased after them. Ji Xiuzhu had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, then followed behind with an auntie smile on his face.

Ji Xiuzhu: Alas, my disciple has grown up and has his own little thoughts. I can’t keep him here~

Ji Xiuzhu thought so, and his steps suddenly became lighter.

However, when she was busy shipping the couple and didn't notice, a pair of green eyes were hiding in the surrounding trees, staring at them sharply.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the woods. As the branches swayed, a group of zombies dressed in black with green eyes rushed out.

They moved in unison, with fierce eyes, and then raised their sharp claws and pounced straight towards Ji Xiuzhu and others.

Ji Xiuzhu became alert instantly. She protected Cui Yanyan behind her and summoned the Zhu Xian Sword to prepare for battle.

However, the target of these black-clad zombies was not them, but Cui Yunshen and Qin Lan who were walking in front.

Ji Xiuzhu originally thought that this was just a feint by the black-clad zombies, but he didn't expect that after blocking several zombies in a row, none of them attacked Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yanyan, but instead kept rushing towards Cui Yunshen and Qin Lan.

"Strange, why don't these guys attack us but attack them?" Ji Xiuzhu wondered for a moment.

Ji Xiuzhu instantly realized that something was wrong, so she decided to assist Cui Yunshen and Qin Lan together with Cui Yanyan.

Just as Ji Xiuzhu raised his sword and was about to attack, a red light flashed, and the black-clad zombies surrounding Qin Lan and Cui Yunshen instantly shattered into a pile of heroic fragments.

Then, as the body parts tore into pieces, Ji Xiuzhu could see clearly that it was Cui Yunshen who used the Shaoyang sword power to "dismember" the zombies in an instant.

"It's possible, little brat! You can actually control the sword intent freely!" Ji Xiuzhu shouted in surprise.

Cui Yunshen frowned slightly, seeming dissatisfied with his performance just now.

"But...why do these zombies only attack you two?" Ji Xiuzhu still felt very strange.

At this moment, Cui Yanyan suddenly pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, "Sister, look, there seem to be words on the bodies of these zombies!"

When everyone got closer to take a look, they saw that there was indeed a small word "Kui" embroidered on the clothes of each zombie.

"Kui? What does this mean?" Cui Yanyan asked puzzledly.

Ji Xiuzhu was not unfamiliar with the word "Kui" because she learned the art of making Kui from the Cui family in Shenzhou.

And these walking corpses are Kui.

But what surprised her was that Cui Yanyan, a genuine member of the Cui family, didn't even know Kui.

"Aren't you a member of the Cui family? Have you never learned this Kui technique?"
