Ji Xiuzhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and took action directly. She made hand gestures and recited the incantations continuously.

Then, she pointed lightly at the man in black, and a beam of golden light rushed away.

The man in black was unable to dodge and was hit by the beam of light instantly. He let out a scream, flew backwards dozens of feet and fell heavily to the ground.

"You...you actually destroyed my cultivation!" The man in black looked at Ji Xiuzhu in horror.

Ji Xiuzhu walked towards the man in black, looked down at him, and said, "You have brought this upon yourself. Tell me, what conspiracy do you have in Mengqi Pavilion?"

The man in black knew that the situation was hopeless, so in order to save his life, he had to tell the truth: "Our Pavilion Master wants to seize a divine weapon. It is said that the divine weapon is in the Worry-free Valley in the secret realm..."

Before he could finish his words, the man in black tilted his head and died.

Ji Xiuzhu's eyes narrowed. It seemed that things were not that simple. She decided to go to Wuyou Valley in person to find out the truth.

But Cui Yunshen stood behind Ji Xiuzhu for a long while before he slowly spoke: "Master, do you really believe him? There might be some danger in Wuyou Valley."

"I naturally don't believe it." Ji Xiuzhu looked at Cui Yunshen, "But this matter is of great importance, and we still need to investigate it. However, you don't have to worry, I know what to do."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, she turned and flew towards Wuyou Valley. Cui Yunshen looked at her back and secretly made up his mind that even if he was about to face mountains of swords and seas of fire, he must protect his master.

Ji Xiuzhu's figure gradually disappeared into the night. Cui Yunshen looked at her back and felt a surge of restlessness in his heart.

He knew that his master was always like this. No matter what kind of danger he faced, he would always rush to the front to protect them, his disciples, and the entire sect.

He took a deep breath, tightened the sword in his hand, and swore to himself that this time, he would be the strong backing of his master instead of the one who was always protected.

"Master, wait for me!" Cui Yunshen shouted loudly and quickened his pace to catch up with Ji Xiuzhu.

Ji Xiuzhu stopped, turned around, looked at the panting Cui Yunshen, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"Brat, there are so many good places in the secret realm, you don't have to follow your master. The journey to Worry-Free Valley is full of dangers, and I don't want you to take any risks." There was a hint of concern in Ji Xiuzhu's voice.

Cui Yunshen shook his head and said firmly: "Master, I am no longer a child. I have the ability to protect myself and you. This time, let me go with you, okay?"

Ji Xiuzhu looked at Cui Yunshen's determined eyes, and a warm feeling instantly surged in his heart.

She knew that this disciple had grown a lot and was no longer the little child who needed her constant protection.

She sighed softly and nodded: "Okay, but you have to promise me that if the situation is not right, you will retreat immediately and don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Cui Yunshen nodded vigorously, with a determined light in his eyes: "I promise you, Master."

The master and his disciple entered the Worry-Free Valley together. The valley was filled with fog and the roars of strange beasts could be heard faintly.

Ji Xiuzhu instantly released his spiritual power, releasing a group of fireflies to illuminate the way ahead.

Cui Yunshen followed closely behind, observing his surroundings vigilantly.

In the mist, the light of fireflies was like stars, illuminating the path ahead for the master and disciple.

Ji Xiuzhu's spiritual power flowed, forming a protective shield that isolated potential dangers.

Cui Yunshen gripped the sword tightly, his eyes flashing with determination and vigilance. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, not only to protect himself, but also to protect his master.

"Master, there seems to be something unusual in this Worry-Free Valley." Cui Yunshen said in a low voice, his voice seemed a little ethereal in the mist.

Ji Xiuzhu nodded, her eyes sharp as if she could penetrate the thick fog: "There are indeed many secrets hidden here, we must proceed with caution."

Their footsteps were light and firm, and each step made a slight sound as it stepped on the solid ground.

Moreover, the roars of the strange beasts around were sometimes far away and sometimes near, which added a sense of mystery and tension to the atmosphere.

"Master, look over there!" Cui Yunshen suddenly pointed forward, and saw a stone bridge vaguely appearing in the fog, with the other end of the bridge connected to an old stone gate.

Ji Xiuzhu raised her eyebrows slightly. She could feel the weak energy fluctuations coming from behind the stone gate: "It seems that this is the place we are looking for."

The master and disciple quickened their pace and soon arrived in front of the stone bridge.

This stone bridge is carved with majestic dragon patterns. It looks ancient but powerful.

Looking down, there is a bottomless abyss under the bridge, which is daunting.

"Be careful, this bridge looks old." Ji Xiuzhu reminded.

Cui Yunshen nodded. He walked in front, carefully testing each stone slab, and only let Ji Xiuzhu follow after ensuring it was safe.

When they finally stepped onto the other side and faced the stone gate, Ji Xiuzhu reached out her hand and gently touched the lines on the stone gate. She could feel the power contained in these lines.

"Master, there is a mechanism on this door." Cui Yunshen observed for a while and found some abnormalities on the stone door.

Ji Xiuzhu nodded, closed her eyes, and calmly felt the flow of power on the stone gate.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and began to steadily pat the stone door with her hands, each pat hitting the specific position accurately.

When the last position was hit, the stone door made a low humming sound and then slowly opened.

Then, a blinding light shot out from behind the door, illuminating the faces of the master and disciple.

"Come on, little brat, let's find out what secrets are hidden in this Worry-Free Valley. Maybe I can find something good for you." There was a hint of expectation in Ji Xiuzhu's tone.

Cui Yunshen gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and nodded slightly.

Because, even if his master did something extraordinary, it was understandable.

As the master and disciple stepped into the door, an ancient atmosphere hit them. They walked slowly along the passage where the light reached, and a huge palace gradually appeared before their eyes.

In the center of the temple, a lifelike stone dragon statue stands quietly, with a bead emitting mysterious light in its mouth.

Ji Xiuzhu's eyes narrowed: "This must be the secret of Wuyou Valley."

She was about to go forward to take the pearl, but suddenly she felt a sharp air flow.

In a moment, several huge bats swooped towards them.

Cui Yunshen drew out the Shaoyang Sword and held it in his hand, fighting a desperate battle with the bat.

Ji Xiuzhu took advantage of the situation to cast a spell, trying to break through the confinement of this airflow.

However, the bats' attacks became more and more fierce, and the master and apprentice were gradually in danger.

At this critical moment, Ji Xiuzhu noticed that the eyes of the stone dragon statue were flashing with strange light.

So, she thought about it, leaped up in an instant, and injected spiritual power into the stone dragon's eyes.

Then, in an instant, the stone dragon seemed to wake up, spewing flames from its mouth and driving away the bats.

After a while, the crisis was resolved, and Ji Xiuzhu stepped forward to take the dragon ball, then stared at it intently.
