Yang Che quickly retrieved Flying Stealth and Sword Four, simultaneously recalling the Soul Stabilizing Talisman.

This ‘Soul Stabilizing Talisman’ was an Advanced Talisman, actually also crafted by his Senior Sister.

Once a Talisman reaches the Advanced level, not only is its power exceptionally strong, but it can also be used multiple times if controlled properly.

The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, Su Ke, stood on the Flame Mountain peak, watching with an indifferent expression.

It seemed the raging flames posed no threat to him whatsoever.

“Junior Brother, your previous concerns seem to have been correct. This Su Family indeed harbors ill intentions.”

The moment Shentu Yun saw Su Ke, she immediately realized something, her heart sinking abruptly, and her face became covered with a frosty chill.

She quickly continued, “Su Ke is the Su Family’s very famous ‘Cold-Faced Elder.’ He specializes in carrying out more difficult tasks for the Su Family, and his methods are cruel and vicious. Junior Brother, use all your means later; don’t hold back anymore.”

Yang Che nodded, his expression also extremely solemn.

At this moment, Shentu Yun continued, “There is a special Restriction here that suppresses Cultivators with higher cultivation levels more severely. This Su Ke can at most exert strength barely reaching the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, not much stronger than this Double-Headed Fire Rock Snake.”

For Shentu Yun, facing a Cultivator with Nascent Soul Initial Stage strength, she naturally had no fear because she possessed a very powerful Talisman!

But for Yang Che, he had fought against Mo Shaotian, who was at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, so he knew that even a Nascent Soul Initial Stage Cultivator was not someone he could contend with.

At this moment, he saw his Senior Sister suddenly wave her hand towards him, and something flew over.

Yang Che subconsciously caught it, finding that it was actually over a dozen Advanced Talismans and one Supreme Talisman.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

Yang Che was not pretentious and accepted them directly.

He was very clear about his current situation; a single mistake could even cost him his life, so with these additional Talismans, his confidence increased significantly.

At this moment, the voice of the white-robed Elder Su Ke suddenly came clearly:

“Grandmaster Shentu, the area around this Dark Demon Valley has been completely surrounded by my Su Family Cultivators. As long as you agree to join my Su Family and serve us, then I will not kill you today. I will only kill Zhang Gu next to you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Che and Shentu Yun were both stunned.

Then Shentu Yun looked puzzled, while Yang Che immediately thought of the Middle-stage Jindan Elder who possessed the exotic insect ‘Crystal Fire Ant’ and whom he had previously killed.

“It seems that the skeleton-like Elder was most likely also from the Su Family,” Yang Che sneered inwardly.

Indeed, seeing their confusion, Su Ke snorted coldly and said, “Zhang Gu concealed his true cultivation and killed my Su Family’s Su Ping, so he must pay with his life.”

“Grandmaster Shentu, I will give you ten breaths of time to consider. If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer within ten breaths, I will have no choice but to strike with deadly intent.”

It was clear that Su Ke was suppressing his killing intent due to Shentu Yun’s identity as a Great Grandmaster Talisman Maker.

After all, a Grandmaster-level Talisman Maker was extremely rare in the Cultivation World, and if they could be recruited, Su Ke naturally wasn’t willing to give up easily.

Shentu Yun said indifferently, “Su Ke, I will never serve the Su Family. The Su Family can give up on that idea.”

“You…”

The white-robed Elder Su Ke saw that Shentu Yun refused without any hesitation, and couldn’t help but be enraged.

“Is my Su Family so unworthy of your service?”

Su Ke’s face was extremely gloomy.

Shentu Yun said faintly, “The evil deeds the Su Family has committed in this Dark Abyss are too numerous to recount. Su Ke, if we were outside, I might fear you a little, but in this Dark Demon Valley, if you want to kill me, I’m afraid it won’t be as you wish.”

“Hmph, just relying on the Restriction suppression in this Dark Demon Valley? What a joke. No one I want to kill has ever lived.”

With a cold snort, Su Ke suddenly looked at the enormous Double-Headed Fire Rock Snake and said, “Twin Rock, just as we agreed before. You and I will join forces to kill these two, and I will give you the ‘Dark Fire Crystal.’ Now, I will kill Shentu Yun, and you go kill Zhang Gu.”

As soon as Elder Su Ke’s words fell, his figure flickered and he instantly moved towards Shentu Yun, simultaneously pointing a finger.

Shentu Yun had already lightly patted a Talisman on herself. As Su Ke reached out, her entire person had also disappeared from her original spot.

The moment she disappeared, she transmitted a message to Yang Che:

“Junior Brother, I will hold back this Su Ke and the Double-Headed Fire Rock Snake. You quickly cross this Flame Mountain and see if there’s a chance to obtain the soul nourishing wood. If there’s no chance at all, I’ll take you out of this Dark Demon Valley immediately.”

“Senior Sister, are you sure?”

Yang Che asked with some concern.

“Go ahead. Today, Senior Sister will show them what a true Grandmaster-level Talisman Maker is.”

As Shentu Yun’s words fell, she finally no longer felt pained by those precious spirit Talismans and began to recklessly pull out her family’s treasures.

Dozens of Advanced Talismans directly floated around her, and as light flickered, two of them had already flown out rapidly, shooting towards the Double-Headed Fire Rock Snake and Elder Su Ke respectively.

Seeing this, Yang Che was also slightly shocked, then he relaxed and quickly teleported towards the Flame Mountain peak, soon standing on top of the peak.

In the distance, another Nether Valley appeared.

The entire Nether Valley seemed to be enveloped by a layer of luminous white light.

Clearly, this was another Formation Restriction.

And judging from the Restriction’s aura, this Formation was actually an ancient grand Formation.

Yang Che continued to teleport and arrived at the valley entrance.

His entire body wrapped in black light, he immediately activated Dark Domain and quickly touched the Restriction.

“Scram!”

As the Restriction’s light flickered, a very strange, cold, and ancient voice immediately came from within the valley.

The voice sounded old and murky, but upon closer listening, it also had a high-pitched quality, as if it belonged to an old woman.

Yang Che thought for a moment, then immediately cupped his fists and bowed, saying, “Senior, Junior only wishes to obtain a finger-thick piece of soul nourishing wood. If Senior is willing to part with it, Junior is willing to exchange it for a high price.”

Although he couldn’t confirm whether there was soul nourishing wood in the valley, Yang Che thought he might as well assume there was and ask first.

“Another one coveting soul nourishing wood. Get lost quickly. My mood isn’t too bad yet. If you don’t get lost, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

The ancient voice was extremely cold, and also seemed greatly displeased with Yang Che for coveting the soul nourishing wood.

“Senior, Junior is not coveting it, but rather needs it to refine ‘Soul Stabilizing Pills’ for consumption. Just a finger-thick piece of soul nourishing wood is enough…”

Before Yang Che could finish speaking, a withered green branch suddenly extended from within the Restriction, moving so fast that Yang Che couldn’t react at all, and it directly struck him.

With a ‘puff,’ Yang Che spat out fresh blood, his body thrown high backward like a broken kite, then heavily crashed to the ground.

“Oh? Your Physical Body is quite good.”

Inside the Restriction, the ancient voice seemed somewhat surprised.

“Boy, I’m warning you, your companion is about to lose her life. If you don’t go save her, her life will be over.”

“What?”

Yang Che was greatly startled, completely disregarding his injuries. After struggling to his feet, he haphazardly shoved a handful of Nourishing Yuan Pills into his mouth and instantly disappeared.

“Hmm?”

The ancient voice within the Restriction suddenly sounded again.

However, this time, the voice was filled with a hint of doubt and some surprise.

But Yang Che had already teleported away, and the ancient voice gradually subsided, then fell silent.
