Xia Feng gave Murong Xue a day to handle her own affairs before leaving the imperial city with her.
Xia Feng's team had gained one more person.
Now there were Liu Chan, Li Yurou, Feng Yu'er, Luo Manjing, Nangong Huanshan, and Murong Xue.
With a seven-person combination, Xia Feng was the only man, enjoying the blessings of multiple women, which was a unique feeling.
This trip to the imperial city had yielded no real gains. If Murong Xue was considered a gain, then she was the only one.
"Murong Xue, where do you want to go?"
Today was Murong Xue's first day joining the team, and her goal was to see the world. Thus, Xia Feng gave her the decision-making power.
As for where to go, she could decide for herself.
Upon hearing this, Murong Xue smiled and asked, " Anywhere?"
"Yes, anywhere. You choose. The Sacred Realm is vast; you can go wherever you wish," Xia Feng nodded.
After all, there were still two jade pendants to acquire. These things depended on fate, so going anywhere was the same.
To be precise, Xia Feng was traveling around, looking for some fun, and handling things along the way.
Murong Xue pondered for a moment and then said, "I've often heard others say that the Valley of Death is a place all cultivators want to venture into. With you here, I certainly wouldn't have to worry about safety. Can I go to the Valley of Death?"
"Of course, no problem. Then let's go to the Valley of Death," Xia Feng agreed with a smile, granting Murong Xue's request.
The Valley of Death, as Murong Xue described, was a place all cultivators wished to visit due to the countless heavenly treasures and even Sacred Artifacts it contained.
There was a saying: The Valley of Death was where all cultivators soared to success, and also where they were buried.
Perhaps if you were lucky and your fate was favorable, this would be your chance to soar. You might acquire a heavenly treasure and ascend directly.
This was the place for the humble to rise, as one's background determined the path of future cultivation. Without venturing here to gamble for opportunities, one would never have the chance to grow.
The Sacred Realm was also a place where only powerful sects could produce talents; commoners had no chance to produce nobles.
Even if one had exceptional talent and high comprehension, without good cultivation techniques and resources, it would all be in vain.
As Xia Feng and the six women arrived, Luo Manjing walked over and said, "Young Master, I sense the aura of a jade pendant here."
Xia Feng's face lit up with a smile; this place had not disappointed him.
"Good," Xia Feng nodded slightly, feeling pleased.
This was the sixth jade pendant. Perhaps the next place would be where they found the seventh. Once all the jade pendants were gathered, he could recover his strength and memories, and all problems would be solved, all doubts and mysteries unraveled.
"Young Master, what jade pendant?" Murong Xue asked, not understanding.
"I've been searching for this type of jade pendant on my journey. There are seven in total, and this is the sixth one," Xia Feng explained.
"Oh, I see," Murong Xue nodded, seemingly understanding.
Having only recently joined Xia Feng, she was unaware of the jade pendants and thus inquired out of curiosity.
"Young Master, shall we enter the canyon now?" Li Yurou pointed towards the entrance of the canyon.
The entrance was sparsely populated, while the area outside the exit was crowded. A luxurious town had even been established here, with all amenities for food, lodging, and transport.
Xia Feng glanced at Li Yurou and then at the hawkers shouting at the entrance, suggesting, "It's not too late to eat something before we go in."
"Okay," Li Yurou responded.
At that moment, a series of roars echoed through the town, causing everyone to make way, some with fearful expressions.
As the group charged recklessly towards Xia Feng, their leader shouted:
"Get out of the way, or die."
