Chapter 62

"En? A savage beast carriage? Only two people, I wonder which faction they belong to?" A young man in a short shirt walked over to Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan, his eyes filled with scrutiny, and he thought to himself.

"Hello." The young man in the short shirt smiled and greeted Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan. When he saw Lin Ziyuan, he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, what a beautiful girl!

Although she was only fifteen, Lin Ziyuan had already grown into a graceful and elegant young woman. Describing her as a beauty who could make fish dive and geese fall from the sky would not be an exaggeration. In a few years, her unparalleled charm would surely captivate all who saw her.

Lin Ziyuan's gaze fell on the young man in the short shirt, and a hint of caution flashed in her eyes.

"My name is Zhao Hou. What about you, young friend?" Zhao Hou greeted Ye Wei warmly. Both Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan were very young, yet they could ride in a savage beast carriage, indicating they were from no ordinary background. Sensing the faintly distant aura from Lin Ziyuan, he didn't want to embarrass himself and instead spoke to Ye Wei.

"Ye Wei!" After a moment of silence, Ye Wei replied. People here came from all over, and there were many named Ye Wei, so he didn't hide his name.

"Is this your first time coming to the Blood Mist Valley?" Zhao Hou looked at Ye Wei a few times and smiled.

"How did you know?"

"Of course, I've been to the Blood Mist Valley several times, staying for several months each time. I've never seen the two of you before." Zhao Hou chuckled, "I know the situation here like the back of my hand!"

"No wonder!" Ye Wei nodded, realizing that Zhao Hou was very familiar with the Blood Mist Valley.

"Where are the two of you from?" Zhao Hou asked with interest.

Hearing Zhao Hou's words, Ye Wei immediately became cautious. After a brief moment of thought, he said, "We come from a very far place, just passing through!"

Ye Wei was certainly hiding something, but Zhao Hou didn't mind. He just laughed and looked at Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan, saying, "The Blood Mist Valley is very mysterious. Apprentices can enter the Blood Mist Valley without being affected by the blood mist, but warriors can only enter when the blood mist is thin. Condensation Realm experts who enter the Blood Mist Valley are almost certain to die! So, among those who come to the Blood Mist Valley, the highest cultivation is only at the warrior level. Of course, it's very dangerous for apprentices to enter the Blood Mist Valley; they need warriors to protect them. Occasionally, some strange savage beasts appear inside, and apprentices are no match for them!"

Zhao Hou speculated that Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan, being so young, were probably just warrior apprentices. If they had already reached the warrior realm, it would be astonishing.

Zhao Hou observed Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan and found them to be calm.

It seems that Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan are confident, Zhao Hou thought. If he could recruit these two into his team, the team's strength would increase significantly.

Ye Wei thought to himself that Lin Ziyuan was already a warrior, while he was still a four-star apprentice. However, Lin Ziyuan had clearly made thorough preparations before coming.

"The team I belong to has fifty-six people, seventeen of whom are at the warrior realm. I wonder if the two of you are interested in joining? We have been inside the Blood Mist Valley and are very familiar with the terrain. It would be better for you two to join us rather than entering rashly!" Zhao Hou invited them with a smile. He sensed a powerful and mysterious aura from Lin Ziyuan and believed that Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan were extraordinary, so he wanted to form a connection with them.

Ye Wei looked at Lin Ziyuan for her opinion, as he was not familiar with the Blood Mist Valley.

"We can go in together, but once inside, we need to find the Heavenly Soul Grass!" Lin Ziyuan looked at Zhao Hou appraisingly and said calmly.

"So, the two of you want to enter the Blood Mist Valley to find the Heavenly Soul Grass. In that case, let's go in together and part ways later!" Zhao Hou nodded slightly, thinking to himself that Lin Ziyuan and Ye Wei had the courage to venture into the Blood Mist Valley with just the two of them, truly impressive!

Many people had died in the Blood Mist Valley before. Not long ago, a team of dozens of warriors was wiped out by a savage beast ambush.

"Although there are hundreds of factions and nearly ten thousand people gathered here, very few teams are stronger than ours. Those few weaklings, I don't know why they even came here!" Zhao Hou pointed to seven fierce young men gathered nearby and mocked them slightly, "Those seven, the strongest is only a five-star apprentice!"

Lin Ziyuan followed Zhao Hou's gaze and looked at the seven fierce young men, a subtle purple light flashing in her eyes.

Ye Wei was also slightly surprised. Were those seven young men just five-star apprentices? It didn't seem that simple!

"Even the strongest apprentices can't surpass warriors. Follow me!" Zhao Hou said proudly, leading Lin Ziyuan and Ye Wei forward.

"Xiao Wei, this is for you!" Lin Ziyuan quietly handed Ye Wei a spatial bag.

Ye Wei glanced inside and saw five divine scrolls, which made him inwardly startled. Each divine scroll was very valuable, and Lin Ziyuan had given him five.

Just as Ye Wei was about to refuse, Lin Ziyuan pressed his hand, signaling him to keep quiet.

"These divine scrolls, two are protective divine scrolls. When torn, they provide a protective divine technique that can save your life. The other three are offensive divine scrolls!" Lin Ziyuan whispered in Ye Wei's ear.

Feeling Lin Ziyuan's smooth and delicate palm and her gentle words, Ye Wei felt a warm current in his heart.

"Look at those people!" Zhao Hou pointed to a group of young men wearing blood-red clothes with golden edges, a deep wariness flashing in his eyes.

"They are geniuses from Han Yang City's Jinmu Academy. Each of them is at least a seven-star warrior realm. The leader is called Luo Wuxue. He is eighteen years old and is the top-ranked genius on Jinmu Academy's Hidden Dragon List, a nine-star warrior! He has mastered a low-level mystic technique and has defeated a ten-star warrior in a higher realm, a terrifying existence!"

Ye Wei followed Zhao Hou's gaze and saw, about a hundred meters to the east, a pale-faced, handsome young man standing out among three blood-red-clothed young men emitting powerful auras.

He wore a blood-red robe with golden edges, was tall and slender, and had a sinister and murderous aura. From a distance, it seemed as if he was sitting in a sea of blood. No one knew what technique he had cultivated, but it gave off such a terrifying aura!

"What a terrifying aura!" Ye Wei was inwardly startled. Just a glance from a distance sent a chill up his spine.

Lin Ziyuan's expression remained calm, completely unfazed by these people!

To avoid drawing Luo Wuxue's attention, Zhao Hou quickly looked away and focused on others.

"Xue Yao, the top young genius of the Xue family in Han Yang City. She is only seventeen but is already a seven-star warrior!"

"Lu Zhao, the strongest young genius of the Lu family in Han Yang City!"

"Hong Xun, this person is very mysterious. No one knows where he comes from or his strength. However, three days ago, he had a dispute with a six-star warrior and killed him with a single palm strike. His palm force was immense, like a mountain, making him someone not to be provoked!"

Zhao Hou introduced four people in one breath. Without a doubt, these four were all strong warriors above the seven-star realm, each possessing terrifying strength.

"There might be hidden experts, but the four people who are clearly not to be provoked are these four!" Zhao Hou was reminding Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan.

"Once we enter the Blood Mist Valley, conflicts are inevitable. Luo Wuxue, Xue Yao, Lu Zhao, and Hong Xun are people you must not provoke!"

Zhao Hou's friends were gathered together, about fifty to sixty people in total. Besides the seventeen warriors, the rest were at least nine-star or ten-star warrior apprentices.

These people were in small groups, not particularly harmonious with each other, indicating they had gathered temporarily.

"I don't know when the blood mist will thin. It might take a few hours or even a few days!" Zhao Hou said helplessly.

Nearly ten thousand people were ready to enter the Blood Mist Valley, a mix of dragons and snakes. Conflicts occasionally broke out, and some opposing factions would fight. Occasionally, some Condensation Realm or even stronger experts would appear, but they were leaders of various factions and did not plan to enter the Blood Mist Valley.

Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan sat down and quietly cultivated, waiting for the blood mist to thin.

In the distance, a group of people were whispering.

"I heard that a few young geniuses from Ning City will come here this time."

"Those people are probably planning to challenge the forbidden zone in the heart of the Blood Mist Valley!"

"Even if they are geniuses from Ning City, if they enter the forbidden zone in the heart of the Blood Mist Valley, they might not come back."

"Who knows?"

Ning City, one of the thirty-six cities on the border, had the most experts and was the most prosperous city within millions of kilometers of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty. It was said that Ning City even had experts at the Return to Origin Realm.

"If they don't have the confidence, they probably wouldn't dare to challenge the forbidden zone!"

"Ning City's experts?" Lin Ziyuan suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of unusual light flashing in them.
