In the afternoon, Lingfeng followed Kehua to learn about some simple hidden weapons, and then found himself with nothing to do.
Coincidentally, the Cultivation Hall also had no tasks at hand, so Lingfeng decided to call Ke Yu over.
Seeing Lingfeng in high spirits, Ke Yu knew that his situation in the Demon Cultivation Hall was not good, which brought him a bit of joy. He then asked Lingfeng what he needed.
"I want to know where Spirit Valley is!" Lingfeng stated directly, without beating around the bush. He was already aware that Monkey Head and Spirit Priest were in Spirit Valley.
Kehua thought for a moment but hesitated to speak freely. He cautiously asked, "Why does Junior Brother want to know this?"
Lingfeng understood his suspicion and replied, "Have you forgotten my purpose for coming down? Besides, this matter cannot be leaked. Why are you asking so many questions? Just tell me what I need to know; I won't tell anyone else!"
Kehua still hesitated, but knowing he couldn't afford to offend Lingfeng, he said, "Spirit Valley isn't far from here, but it's extremely dangerous. Moreover, the Demon Lord Reincarnation has already found Tao Tie, and now Tao Tie is responsible for guarding Spirit Valley!"
"This could be troublesome!" Lingfeng couldn't help but frown. He had seen Tao Tie's abilities; going to Spirit Valley alone would be incredibly risky.
However, Lingfeng had a Spell that could help him avoid Tao Tie. Yet he was unfamiliar with the terrain there and asked, "What is it like there? Is it land or paved with blue bricks?"
"Well..." Kehua showed a troubled expression and said, "Spirit Valley is a forbidden area in the Mandala Demon Realm. We have never been there, so we don't know much about it!"
Lingfeng felt somewhat disappointed but realized he couldn't get much information from Kehua. The only safe method was to see it for himself. He then dismissed Kehua and took some simple hidden weapons before swaggering out of the Spirit Sect.
Although Lingfeng did not know the exact location of Spirit Valley, he figured that any place called a valley must be hidden deep in the mountains. Additionally, there was a Demon Spirit Mountain within the Spirit Sect itself. Thus, Lingfeng concluded that Spirit Valley must be located inside Demon Spirit Mountain.
It would take about an hour to reach Demon Spirit Mountain from here. Therefore, Lingfeng felt pressed for time.
From a distance, Demon Spirit Mountain undulated like a giant dragon lying on the ground. It was filled with towering pine trees, appearing majestic and grand.
The Spirit Sect had little stamina, so Lingfeng could only walk there. However, to save time, Lingfeng utilized the Lightness Skill, exerting all his strength to move forward.
Upon reaching the foot of Demon Spirit Mountain, Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief. However, he soon became tense again as there were disciples of the Spirit Sect watching at the base of the mountain. Although there were only two of them, it was clear that their cultivation levels were far above Lingfeng's.
Fortunately, Demon Spirit Mountain had not undergone significant renovations, so the ground was mostly made of dirt. Lingfeng then used the Earth Escape Technique to silently enter Demon Spirit Mountain from underground.
Walking through the mountains, Lingfeng felt not a trace of sunlight shining down. The surrounding trees were oddly shaped and appeared quite eerie.
Demon Spirit Mountain was not particularly tall, standing at about three hundred meters in height. Lingfeng quickly reached the summit, but upon looking around at the top, he was astonished and speechless.
Behind Demon Spirit Mountain lay a series of undulating peaks. It turned out that Demon Spirit Mountain was not a single mountain range; there were countless other mountains behind it. This not only concealed the awakening location of the Demon Lord Reincarnation but also provided an excellent refuge in case of any changes in the Mandala Demon Realm.
While the grandeur of the mountains was impressive, it also posed a challenge for Lingfeng. With so many towering peaks around, finding Spirit Valley would be no easy task!
However, nothing is impossible for those who are determined. Lingfeng resolved to scour these mountains and find Monkey Head before the Spirit Priest returned.
By afternoon, Lingfeng had explored several nearby mountains but found nothing.
Feeling dejected was inevitable, but Lingfeng still had to return to the Spirit Sect before nightfall.
Upon arriving at the Spirit Sect, the sky had already darkened. The Morning Star hung in the sky, and twinkling stars began to appear.
As Lingfeng walked into the Spirit Sect, he breathed a sigh of relief; the entire place was silent, and it seemed no one had noticed that someone had gone missing.
Lingfeng quietly walked towards the Demon Cultivation Hall. Just as he was about to step inside, he suddenly heard a deep voice from behind questioning, "Where have you been?"
Lingfeng was startled, and all the hairs on his body stood on end. After a moment, he turned around with a grin and saw the Master of the Demon Cult.
"Hehe, Master of the Demon Cult!" Lingfeng quickly bowed slightly and smiled ingratiatingly.
The Master of the Demon Cult looked angry and shot a glance at Lingfeng before asking again, "Where exactly have you been?"
"Five Elements, where did you run off to?" Before Lingfeng could respond, the Assassin Hall Master rushed over with an anxious expression.
"It seems they are worried, not suspicious!" Lingfeng thought to himself, then took out his pouch and chuckled, "I didn't have much to do this afternoon, so I went to practice the Assassination Technique!"
Upon hearing Five Elements' words, the Assassin Hall Master finally relaxed and patted his chest but then asked, "Where did you practice the Assassination Technique? Why couldn't any of the disciples find you?"
"I..." This time Lingfeng was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he said, "I went to practice the Assassination Technique on the mountain behind!"
Sure enough, both the Master of the Demon Cult and the Assassin Hall Master changed their expressions, showing surprise mixed with concern.
"The mountain behind is Demon Spirit Mountain, and it's a forbidden area in the Mandala Demon Realm. Didn't you know that?" The Master of the Demon Cult's voice was low and authoritative.
Lingfeng stuck out his tongue and said innocently, "Since coming to Spirit Sect, no one has ever told me about the Mandala Demon Realm. Moreover, I burned down Scarecrow Field last time, so I couldn't practice there anymore. That's why I secretly went to the back mountain!"
The Master of the Demon Cult and the Assassin Hall Master were both taken aback again. After a while, they looked like disappointed parents filled with guilt.
"Spirit Sect hasn't recruited disciples for a long time; we've long forgotten what new disciples should know!" The Master of the Demon Cult sighed sadly.
Lingfeng deliberately rubbed his dry eyes, taking the opportunity to make them red, softly sobbing like a wronged child.
"This..." Master of the Demon Cult seemed a bit flustered.
"You see, no one is blaming you, so why are you crying?" Assassin Hall Master, seeing Lingfeng sobbing, hurried over to help wipe the corners of Lingfeng's eyes and said with overflowing maternal affection, "We only care about you and are worried something might happen to you!"
Lingfeng stopped crying and looked at Master of the Demon Cult, leaning in mysteriously to whisper in Assassin Hall Master's ear, "Whose concern is greater, yours or others'?"
Assassin Hall Master paused for a moment, glanced at Master of the Demon Cult, and with a stern face pushed Lingfeng aside, saying, "No rules!" Then he swayed back to the Assassination Hall.
Lingfeng sighed and shook his head, lamenting, "What a beautiful National Beauty and Fragrance, yet she has become a secular nun!" This implied that while Assassin Hall Master possessed beauty that could make flowers blush, she could only live a single life in the Mandala Demon Realm, which was truly a pity. On another level, it meant he wanted to help her escape such a life, but that was just a thought!
Master of the Demon Cult ignored Lingfeng, walking into the main hall of the Demon Cultivation Hall, then added, "Wait until you come to my room; I will teach you the Cultivation methods and also explain the rules of the Spirit Sect!"
Lingfeng came back to his senses, thinking about what rules there could be when the Spirit Sect hadn't recruited any disciples for so long and he was the only newcomer. What harm could it do to let loose a little? He felt like a wilted eggplant and said listlessly, "Master of the Demon Cult, can we skip the rules?"
Master of the Demon Cult frowned and said sternly, "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. How can we not talk about rules?"
Lingfeng simply started swaying back and forth, waving his hands like a stubborn child throwing a tantrum. "Please, look at what a good disciple I am! With my performance these past few days, are you really worried I might cause trouble?"
A hint of a smile appeared on Demon Cultivation Hall's face as he slightly raised his bent back and said, "If we don't establish rules now, you might face even more punishment in the future. Just for burning down the Scarecrow Field, you could be hit with twenty iron rods!"
Lingfeng looked at Master of the Demon Cult in shock and unconsciously touched his backside.
Master of the Demon Cult chuckled and said, "But if we don't establish rules, that's fine too; just make sure to behave yourself from now on!"
"Absolutely!" Lingfeng replied eagerly.
At that moment, complaints could be heard from outside the door. From the voices, it was easy to tell that the ones complaining were Ke Zhan and Ke Fei, followed by other disciples.
"Damn it, he got lost and still wants us to find him. What is this all about! Besides, our injuries haven't healed yet; why should we run around for him?" a disgruntled voice from the inn grumbled.
Ke Fei seemed to have more to say, but at that moment, everyone had already arrived at the entrance of the Demon Cultivation Hall. The Master of the Demon Cult was about to head towards the teleportation portal when he heard Ke Zhan and the others' remarks and paused in the shadows.
However, Lingfeng was sitting on a wooden chair in the hall. Although there was no light here and only the faint glow produced by a Spell illuminated the area, it was enough to see Lingfeng's features clearly.
Upon seeing Lingfeng, Ke Fei shot him a glare and then looked up, saying, "I hope that guy gets eaten by a beast; that way, we'd have one less rival!"
Lingfeng remained silent, thinking that now the Master of the Demon Cult would protect him even more!
Hearing Ke Fei's words, Ke Zhan laughed loudly as he walked into the hall, pretending to be surprised as he greeted Lingfeng, "Oh, junior brother, you're fine! I thought you had been eaten by a beast; you really made us worry!"
Lingfeng smiled respectfully. Although his expression seemed apologetic, it was actually one of relief; only others couldn't sense it. "I apologize for alarming you all, senior brothers!" Lingfeng said with cupped hands.
