Chapter 216: A Freaking Goldmine For The Cultivators
It has been three days since the carriage had been flying in the air non-stop. Joey and the sexy lady with the veil covering her face didn’t talk even a word to each other during this time
Joey closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa.
“Hello, are you also going to the Hundred Valleys for the recent news of Dragon’s roaring in the Redcliff pilgrimage?” A sweet voice spoke breaking the silence inside the room
“Nope, I came for another business,” Joey replied.
“Oh, my bad. I haven’t introduced myself to you first. ” The sexy lady hit herself lightly on the forehead. Then, she stood up, clasped her hand toward Joey, and introduced herself, “I am Chun Churan. Can I know yours?”
Joey also stood up, clasped his hand, and responded with a friendly smile, “You can call me Joey. It’s nice meeting you here today.”
“Brother Joey, no offense but you seem to be not from our Central Continent.” Chun Churan the sexy lady said suddenly.
“Oh, why is that?” Joey asked.
“Isn’t that obvious? First of all, the way you dress up is slightly different from the people living here in the Central continent. Most importantly, your accent is totally different from the people here. You speak more clearly and faster than people living here. ” The sexy lady replied.
“Oh! ” Joey responded, “Sister Chun Churan, you are right. Actually, I come from the Eastern Continent. “
“The Eastern Continent!” The lady exclaimed and continued speaking, “Wow! Brother Joey, you have come here that far. You must be some big shot, right?”
“No, I am not. I have accidentally arrived here in the Central Continent.” Joey replied. He then asked, “Sister Chun Churan, are you going to the Redcliff pilgrimage?”
The lady nodded her head.
“Can you tell me more about that place?” Joey asked again.
“The Redcliff pilgrimage is located at the centermost and most dangerous region of the Hundred Valleys of Poison. The journey to that place will be the most perilous one. It’s said that there is less than a five percent chance of returning back alive from that place. But, some bold cultivators will visit that place from time to time.” Chun Churan replied.
“Less than five percent chance of survival!” Joey murmured and continued asking, “But, why are they risking their lives to enter into that place?”
“Heeheehee, isn’t that obvious? That place is a freaking goldmine for us cultivators. ” The lady giggled and replied.
“Oh!” Joey responded. Her words piqued his interest.
“Sister Chun Churan, can you explain more about that place?” He asked again.
“Oh, are you interested in that place now?” She responded with another question.
“Heeheehee! Sister Chun Churan, after hearing your words, I kind of like to visit that place.” Joey responded while scratching his head.
“Alright, alright.” She said and continued speaking, “It is written in most of the ancient historical records that the Redcliff pilgrimage which lies in the center of the Hundred Valleys of Poison is one of the battlegrounds for the Immortal Cleansing war that had happened about more than 50 million years ago.”
Joey kept listening attentively.
“It was an all-out war between different races of the world. Many heavens defying immortals, legendary beasts, and Asuras had fallen in that place. So, that place is still filled with the remnants of various ancient relics and legacies of those fallen experts during that war. ” She said and continued, “Brother Joey, if you are interested then I have a suggestion, why don’t we go together to that place?”
“Sure!” Joey replied and continued,” But, I have an important business to attend to before that. If you can wait for a few days, then we can go there together.”
“Okay, it is a deal.” The lady responded under her veil.
At that time, the old man came out from the small driving compartment.
“We are now about to reach the outskirts of the Hundred Valleys of Poison. Why don’t we stop tonight in one of the towns nearby? ” The old man suggested.
Joey and the lady agreed to him.

The Sandara Town,
About twenty kids were playing on a flat grassland field. They were competing on catching dragonflies on the field.
Suddenly a golden color carriage appeared in the air just above them and landed on the ground.
“Run! Those kidnappers are here in the town again.” A snorty kid that had a monkey physique shouted. Then all of them screamed and run away toward their homes.
Joey first came out of the carriage and looked at those kids.
“Why are they so afraid of us?” He murmured to himself.
The sexy lady and Yang Lin, the old man also came out of the carriage.
But, a boy still remained on the ground. He was currently glaring at them. He quickly ran toward Joey and punched him in his stomach.
Joey caught his hand and asked, “Boy, did I offend you?”
“You damn kidnappers. Give back my little sister.” The boy shouted and hit him again with his other hand.
This time Joey let him hit him. The boy kept punching at Joey’s stomach while crying.
At that time, a beautiful lady quickly ran toward them and said, “Xiao’er, don’t hit them. They are not the ones who kidnap your little sister.” She then caught him and hugged him.
“Sir, I am so sorry. Please, forgive my son. He thinks that you all are those kidnappers who have taken away his little sister a month before.” The woman knelt before them.
“Oh, kidnappers. Can you tell me more about them?” Joey asked.
“About ten masked men came to our town in a flying carriage a month ago. Then, they forcefully have taken away one hundred and twenty-one newborn babies from our town. My little daughter is also among them.” She said while tears fell from her eyes.
“Sister, can you tell us a bit about what they wear that day?” Chun Churan asked this time.
“Um, they all wear black Daoist robes with the word ‘Gu’ mark on them.” She told them and quickly left bringing along with her son.
