rom Cangxing Martial Academy to Xuezhiding Peak was not without reason.On the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month each year, snow lotuses bloom on the summit of Xueding Peak.The Xuelian radiates brill...The Spirit Valley is not too far from Hongyang County.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ye specifically chose the exorcism mission in Hongyang County for Yun Hao.

Yun Hao was hurrying with Xia Xuan, reaching the outskirts of the Ghost Valley within half a day.

The Valley of the Spirits is not a single valley, but a series of valleys connected together.

It covers an area of almost a hundred miles!

Standing at the edge of the Ghost Valley, Yun Hao immediately felt a cold and sinister aura wash over him.

In the valley ahead, a chilling wind swept through, emitting a bone-chilling, mournful sound like weeping and wailing. At times, the sound resembled an old woman's low sobs, at other times, a baby's piercing cries. And then again, it was as if someone was enduring the most agonizing torment in the world, their screams echoing endlessly.

Xiaxuan stood beside Yunhao, looking at the valley ahead. There was no fear on her face, only an unbearable sadness and pain, as well as a strong thread of hatred!

"Master…"

Xia Xuan's voice was laced with complex emotions as she said, "If we encounter assassins from the Ming Xue Hall, we leave immediately and come back another time!"

"Let's go in and take a look first, then we'll talk!"

Yun Hao brought Xia Xuan into the Valley of Grieving Spirits.

That kind of mournful, tearful sound, which was sometimes sharp and piercing, became even clearer, as if it were ringing in their ears.

Xia Xuan, despite being a strong Cultivator of the Cave Heaven realm, immediately circulated his qi around him. The qi vibrated, isolating him from those sounds.

"Master, vengeful spirit... what's going on" Xiaxuan asked.

"Whether it be humans, plants and trees, goblins, demons, or even weapons, all things in the world possess a spirit."

The mortal's flesh, the demonic beast's flesh, the roots and stems of plants, and the materials for weapons, all serve as vessels for the spirit.

Under normal circumstances, when the carrier is damaged, the spirit will also dissipate.

But there are exceptions to every rule.

For example, when cultivators of the human race reach a certain level of cultivation, even if their physical bodies are destroyed, their souls can still exist. This is also true for tree spirits, monsters, magical weapons, and so on.

Xiaoxuan nodded. "I understand that, but most of the ghosts in this Grievance Valley weren't very powerful in life... how are they still able to exist"

Yun Hao: "Attachment, the unwillingness to die, resentment, anger..."

When various obsessions come together, they form a special kind of energy.

Under the influence of this force, even if a person is not strong, their soul will not dissipate after death.

Because this force is composed of many obsessions taken to the extreme, it causes these souls to be constantly influenced. As time passes, they forget their specific obsessions and become insane, leaving only a desire for killing!

As soon as I heard the last few words Yun Hao said.

Xiaxuan's expression of sadness grew even more intense. She whispered softly, "Is there only a desire for killing left..."

Yunhao glanced at Xiuan, but didn't ask anything.

But he had already guessed some of it.

Since Xiaoxuan didn't bring it up proactively, Yunhao wouldn't pry. He would wait for Xiaoxuan to share when she was ready.

The two people walked for a distance in the valley.

Suddenly.

A gust of wind howled.

The chilling wind sliced through the air like a razor-sharp blade.

Xia Xuan was still immersed in the complex grief, momentarily unable to react.

Yun Hao's heart moved, a wisp of sword intent transformed into sword qi and shot out, tearing through the dark wind!

Next.

Before them, a gust of wind swirled in a small area, faintly revealing several distorted, illusory figures.

"Dead"

“ ”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Death!"

"Hehehe...die!"

A ghostly figure emitted a spine-chilling, eerie growl before drifting towards Yun Hao and Xia Xuan.

Xia Xuan finally came to her senses, with a whoosh, she drew her sword and slashed out. However, the blade passed through...

A phantasmal figure split through the middle, then blinked and merged back together, without a trace of damage.

Yun Hao raised his hand and grabbed it.

A golden radiance flashed, transforming into a massive golden hand that imprisoned the illusory vengeful spirit, crushing it.

To deal with vengeful spirits, the best option is to use spiritual power. Of course, if your spiritual power isn't strong enough, you can also use your qi and blood power, as well as some masculine and forceful methods.

Yun Hao's voice rang out.

Xiaxuan: "Then I..."

"Yun Hao: "You were born with a bewitching bone and possess an extreme yin spirit, so your power has almost no restraint against vengeful spirits. From now on, you just need to stay by my side and do nothing. If you want to do something, just tell me."

This sentence suddenly reminded Xiaoxuan of last night.

Last night was like that.

She hardly did anything throughout the whole process... It was all Master who did everything, she just followed whatever Master told her to do...

"Well."

Xia Xuan softly replied, and suddenly thought to herself,

Next time... I definitely have to do it myself!

Having crossed several mountain valleys, Yun Hao encountered many vengeful spirits along the way. He didn't give any of them a chance to erupt, and upon discovering one, he would directly crush it with his spiritual power.

There's no way a vengeful spirit outside the Oni Valley could withstand his mental attack.

Two people arrived at the sixth mountain valley.

This valley is different from the five preceding valleys.

Here, there is not the ubiquitous gloom, but rather an intense air of solemnity!

Xia Xuan subconsciously tightened her grip on Yun Hao's sleeve.

Yun Hao: "Don't worry."

He continued to walk with Xiaoxuan.

Suddenly.

The ground before the two of them suddenly cracked.

A rotten and broken palm emerged from the ground.

Then, a second hand reached out from the dirt.

Under the gaze of Yun Hao and Xia Xuan, a body slowly crawled out from the ground.

One side of the head was obviously smashed by a tremendous force, and the remaining half was hanging on by tattered flesh.

The skin on other parts of the body was also rotten and decaying, revealing blackened bones.

This decaying corpse still wore a set of battered armor, which had also been eroded by the passage of time, making it difficult to discern its original appearance.

The corpse standing before Yun Hao and Xia Xuan seemed to be struggling, but it still... slowly straightened its body, like a spear standing tall!

"Treacherous to the Xia, death!"

The rotting corpse roared, though its voice, like a bellows with tattered leather, was weak and hollow. Yet, the fury contained within it was boundless and intense.

As soon as the words left his lips.

The rotting corpse surged forward, its mangled body brimming with unparalleled fighting spirit as it charged at Yun Hao.

Yun Hao was about to obliterate the corpse with his spiritual power.

"

Master, wait...

"

Xia Xuan's voice immediately rang out.

Yun Hao's mental power directly imprisoned the resentment spirit's will.

The corpse thus came to a halt.

"It's possible this is someone who died here, possessed by a vengeful spirit, or perhaps the vengeful spirit itself has taken on this form. Whatever the case, they are dead, and what controls this decaying corpse is nothing more than a murderous intent of the vengeful spirit." Yun Hao said.

"Master..."

Xia Xuan took a few steps forward, standing before the corpse. She was silent for a long time, biting her lip as if trying to suppress her grief. Then she said, "Can you allow his spirit to dissipate without suffering"

Yun Hao nodded.

In the next moment, with a thought, golden light surged. The power seemed gentler now, gradually...the malice on the corpse slowly dissipated.

The moment the resentment and obsession of the corpse dissipate.

Suddenly, the corpse knelt directly before Xia Xuan.

At almost the same moment, there was a piercing whoosh as an arrow, carrying terrifying penetrating power, shot towards him!able to maintain this large formation for much longer!""The strength of the Bear King is far from this level. Once the Bear King activates his rage, even if Yun Hao's mental power can still control th...
