The Hell Island had some relics, secret areas, shattered spaces, and so on. The Valley of Ghosts was an entrance to a shattered space.
The Valley of Ghosts was famous at the Hell Island and even at the Devil Sea.
The Nether Ghost Valley was connected to the Nether Spirit World. It was a powerful broken land in the void. There were many terrifying existences and treasures in there. The Nether Ghost Valley was the place that connected to the Nether Spirit World.
The Valley of Ghosts was protected by a strong enchantment. But every now and then, some strange beings would break out. The warriors guarding the Valley of Ghosts were the most pitiful. Nobody knew when they would die.
Su Yueqin wanted to send Lu Li to the Valley of Ghosts. She was trying to kill him.
Too many people had died in Nether Ghost Valley, and those who had been sent there were all people who had failed, offended others, or made mistakes.
There were tens of thousands of warriors stationed there all year round. But almost every 10 years, half of the warriors would be sent there because half of the warriors would die.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even commanders and elders would die from time to time.
The Immortal Lady was not an official position at the Hell Palace but she had a special status. Su Yueqin was the granddaughter of the Palace Master. Her words carried weight.
Not even the average patriarchs would disobey her, let alone Master Chen.
Of course, Su Yueqin had a sense of propriety. She would not do anything outrageous.
For example, what she was doing now was not outrageous as far as people were concerned.
Lu Li deserting in the face of danger was a serious crime. Even though he saved the Immortal Lady by chance, people could tell that Lu Li was not loyal to the Hell Palace, especially when he said he was leaving the Hell Palace.
People didn't like Lu Li anymore. He was just a warrior. If he died, then so be it.
There were so many warriors at the Valley of Ghosts and some of them had survived. If Lu Li could survive, it would be because of his abilities.
Su Yueqin went back. Master Chen arranged someone to monitor Lu Li so that he could not run away. Otherwise, Lu Li would be in trouble when Su Yueqin blamed him.
In just one day, Lu Li sensed that he was being monitored. He could sense everything around him by using the trace of Dao.
He could sense that someone was secretly monitoring him, and it wasn't just one or two people, but more than ten.
He even felt a faintly discernible qi and energy locked onto him. It must be one of the two patriarchs.
I can't get away!
Lu Li frowned. He was not worried that Su Yueqin would kill him. She wouldn't take the risk. She wouldn't kill him in public. She would only plot against him in secret.
What he needed to do next was to defend himself and avoid the arrows that were shot from the gutter.
He looked for Hou San and asked him to secretly monitor the situation in the captive camp, in case someone was up to something.
He thought too much. Although Su Yueqin wanted to mess with him, she wouldn't go so far as to drag the entire captive camp into it.
Nothing happened in the next ten days.
On the eleventh day, Elder Chen brought a group of soldiers over to announce his new appointment.
It was said that Lu Li had performed meritorious deeds in the past. During this period of time, he had been working hard in the captive camp and managed the camp very well. Therefore, the higher-ups had decided to promote him.
If he went to another place to be a commander, his salary would be doubled.
"Netherworld Valley …"
Hou San trembled when he heard the name. Lu Li looked at Hou San and asked at once, "What is this place?
Is it scary? "
"One of the most horrifying places of the Hell Island!"
Hou San took a few deep breaths and replied, "This place is an entrance to a broken space. There are many evil beings in there. Every year, many warriors die here. Immortal Lady … is up to no good. She wants to kill you!"
A promotion on the surface but a demotion on the inside!
She was openly promoting Lu Li and giving him benefits. Outsiders would have nothing to say against her.
If Lu Li was sent to the Netherworld Valley and Lu Li died because of his inferior skills, nobody would say anything about it to Su Yueqin.
"What a good plan!"
Lu Li's face turned gloomy. He thought he should have killed Su Yueqin that day, or held her hostage or even raped her.
Looking at the team led by Clan Leader Chen, Lu Li forced a smile.
He would have to go to the Netherworld Valley even if he didn't want to. This was a military order and military orders must be obeyed. If he disobeyed, Clan Leader Chen had the right to kill him on the spot.
Lu Li looked at Hou San and asked, "Hou San, are you coming with me or staying here?"
Hou San's mouth twitched. He was in a dilemma. If he went to the Netherworld Valley with Lu Li, he might die a miserable death.
If he didn't go, it would be hard for him to survive here.
Once Lu Li left, Li Jin would be the leader. Hou San was Lu Li's follower. Would he have a good ending?
Maybe he would be killed by Li Jin.
"Boss, I will go with you!"
Hou San made up his mind and said. He might have a chance of survival if he went with Lu Li. If he stayed, he would wish he was dead even if he could survive.
Lu Li nodded. He looked at Clan Leader Chen and said, "Clan Leader Chen, I can go to the Netherworld Valley but I want to take Hou San with me. Can you give him the position of Vice Commander?"
"But …"
Clan Leader Chen thought about it and said, "I don't have the right to be a Vice Commander but I can be a Team Leader."
"Okay!"
Lu Li just wanted to take Hou San with him. The position was not important.
If he could survive in the Netherworld Valley, Hou San's position would rise. If he couldn't, Hou San wouldn't be of any use even if he was a Team Leader.
"Time is of the essence. Let's go!"
Seeing that Lu Li was being cooperative, Clan Leader Chen was relieved. If Lu Li were to make a scene, Clan Leader Chen would be able to suppress him. But it would be troublesome. After all, Clan Leader Chen had to pay attention to the impact.
"Li Jin, you will be in charge here for now!"
Clan Leader Chen waved his hand. Li Jin was overjoyed. Now that he was in charge, he would be the Team Leader.
Yellow-tooth and the others, on the other hand, felt bitter. They wouldn't have a good life after Lu Li left.
Lu Li and Hou San went to the Yama City with Clan Leader Chen. Then, Clan Leader Chen took them to the Teleportation Formation and teleported them to the Netherworld Valley.
It was a long teleportation. After more than four hours, Lu Li found himself in a castle. There was a team of warriors guarding the castle.
Clan Leader Chen showed his token and a warrior led them out. Lu Li used his psychic power to check the situation at the Netherworld Valley.
Dim!
There was a huge valley outside with towering mountains on both sides. There was a faint white glow above the mountains. Clearly, there was a barrier.
The sky here was very dim, and it felt lifeless.
They were at the entrance of the valley. There were more than a thousand castles and bungalows nearby. The deeper they went into the valley, the darker it was. There was an evil and cold qi coming from the depth of the valley, spooky and uncomfortable.
There were hundreds of warriors patrolling in the valley. More warriors lived in bungalows and castles. At the moment, Clan Leader Chen was taking Lu Li to a huge castle.
"This is bad …"
After a while, Lu Li put on a bitter smile. This place was enveloped by a strong enchantment which seemed to be indestructible.
In other words!
If he wanted to leave this place, he had to go through the Teleportation Formation in the castle. The castles were all guarded by warriors. Without a token, Lu Li could not get close.
