When the Dean of Illustrious Virtue Hall, Jing Hongchen, returned to Illustrious Virtue Hall, he spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted. Illustrious Virtue Hall was his foundation. For the sake of a few of the Demon King Huo Yuhao's companions, the Crown Prince had sent people to launch an attack. Fortunately, it didn't cause too much damage; otherwise, the soul tool research of the entire Sun Moon Empire would have been set back several years.
Soon, the empire received the news that Rising Sun City had been destroyed by Huo Yuhao, and the old emperor and Crown Prince Xu Tianran were confirmed dead.
The only thing Jing Hongchen was glad about now was that after the successive deaths of the old emperor and Crown Prince Xu Tianran, the situation in the empire would be very unstable. His grandson and granddaughter following Huo Yuhao would instead be safe and sound.
When Xiao Hongchen took his sister and joined Huo Yuhao's group, Jing Hongchen immediately declared the two as traitors to the empire. This was also a choice he had made after careful consideration.
"Sigh..." Jing Hongchen seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. People are selfish. As long as Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen could follow Huo Yuhao, their future would definitely be boundless.
There was no longer any power on this continent that could stop Huo Yuhao's steps towards domination...
—
Surrounded by mountains, the sun and moon lost their light.
This was the central point of the West Mountains of the Sun Moon Empire. A huge valley occupied an area of more than ten li. This entire valley was extremely round.
The valley sank as a whole, forming a semi-circle, filled with clear lake water. The surface of the lake sparkled, and the bottom was clearly visible.
Just then, two huge figures broke the tranquility here. Their fight was earth-shattering, and soon reached the sky above the lake surface.
The fierce battle between the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings caused panic among the residents of Ming Dou not far away. For the people of the Sun Moon Empire who had never seen such a spectacular scene in their lives, the grand sight of the two dragons fighting was enough for each of them to remember for a lifetime.
Huo Yuhao brought a group of companions and followed behind the two dragons. He could clearly sense that Gu Yuena's aura had begun to become unstable. Obviously, the Golden Dragon King, who only knew how to destroy everything, was superior in comprehensive strength to the injured Silver Dragon King.
Dealing with the Golden Dragon King was urgent. Now, Huo Yuhao was going to use the power here.
At this time, it seemed to be early morning. The water vapor rising from the lake surface made the surrounding vision very blurred, and the air was also gloomy.
The place before them was precisely one of the three great treasure basins recorded in the Tang Sect's poison chapter. And it was ranked above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the head of the three great treasure basins.
Yin Yang Love Query Valley.
The reason why the Yin Yang Love Query Valley was the head of the three great treasure basins was not because of how many benefits this treasure basin could bring, but because its danger was too great. Moreover, the possible harm suffered inside was unpredictable. Obtaining benefits was even more difficult.
Legend had it that in the Divine Realm, the God of Love was betrayed by her lover. In extreme grief, she fell to the mortal world and formed this place. Heaven and earth were turned upside down, and the sun and moon became a lake.
Because of her lover's betrayal, the God of Love hated those who betrayed love extremely. Once such a person fell into the Sun Moon Lake of this Yin Yang Love Query Valley, it would trigger her anger, thus starting the Yin Yang Love Query.
Only true lovers could leave here alive, or even receive benefits. And all those who lied and deceived would be severely punished.
The most important sentence to describe this Yin Yang Love Query Valley was: The sun and moon become a lake, Yin Yang Love Query, a sincere adventure, true love is invincible.
In the original timeline, this treasure land was discovered by the Holy Spirit Cult in the Sun Moon Empire at that time. By executing a couple who had betrayed each other to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony, this chaotic land was completely activated.
This activation method would undoubtedly arouse the anger of the God of Love who had fallen in this chaotic land. The Holy Spirit Cult did this mainly to kill the members of Shrek Academy at that time.
It was precisely because of this wrong activation method that the divine sense of the God of Love was controlled by the Sea God Tang San and the Nine-Color Goddess in the Divine Realm, becoming one of the most direct means for the Sea God Tang San to interfere in the lower plane. The former Huo Gua was also here, receiving the first beating from his father-in-law. His few remaining proud bones were smashed by his father-in-law. Not only did he become a glass-hearted love-brain, but he also completely became a loyal dog of the Tang family.
But the current situation was that the Sea God Tang San was descending, and the Nine-Color Goddess Ning Rongrong alone did not have the ability to control this chaotic land.
Since a couple who betrayed each other could arouse the anger of the God of Love's remnant divine sense, then perhaps a couple who loved each other could produce a different effect?
This was the first stop to weaken the Golden Dragon King. If the Yin Yang Love Query Valley didn't have much effect, then they could only try another method.
"Is there a devoted couple among us?" Huo Yuhao turned his head awkwardly and asked the companions behind him.
"Need help?" Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen stood out hand in hand. The two looked at each other deeply and smiled.
Xiao Hongchen held Ye Linlin's fair wrist and followed closely behind.
"Oh, Brother-in-law, not bad!" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. If Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan getting together was a convergence of the timeline, then Xiao Hongchen's pair was somewhat beyond his expectations.
This sarcastic "Brother-in-law" made Meng Hongchen blush and kick Huo Yuhao.
Wu Ming glanced at Xie Huanyue with a bit of expectation, but at this time, Xie Huanyue had two big chicken legs stuffed in his mouth, looking like it had nothing to do with him.
"I need your blood, preferably blood from the heart." Huo Yuhao nodded. It happened suddenly, and he wasn't prepared when he came here. To successfully open this place, in addition to the blood of two people in love, at least one pair of lovers' lives was needed.
Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan did not hesitate. They immediately thumped their chests heavily with their fists, and a mouthful of heart blood landed precisely in their hands.
Xiao Hongchen looked at Ye Linlin. At the previous Sea God's Fate Blind Date Convention, he had already prepared to love only Ye Linlin for the rest of his life. He immediately gave himself a blow without hesitation, heart blood spurting out, and controlled it with soul power to float in the air.
Ye Linlin's beautiful eyes trembled. As a healing-type soul master, she was actually very afraid of pain. But under the gaze of all her companions, she didn't want to be looked at strangely, so she used the same method to spurt out heart blood.
Huo Yuhao took these four drops of heart blood, then condensed the necromancer's staff in his left hand and chanted an incantation.
The Gate of the Undead opened, and Cheng Chang'an and Gu Xiaoli, Huo Yuhao's enemies from his previous life, were brought out by the undead creatures.
The two had been tortured out of human shape, but their feelings for each other were genuine. When Huo Yuhao committed the crime in his previous life, it was Cheng Chang'an who desperately protected Gu Xiaoli, allowing her to escape from the darkness. By the time Huo Yuhao caught up and dealt with her, he had already been exposed under the Skynet.
A cold light flashed in Huo Yuhao's hand, cutting the throats of this pair of enemies at the same time. Blood gushed out from the huge wounds like a fountain, dripping onto the lake surface below along with the four drops of heart blood from his companions.
The two corpses fell into the lake with a "plop, plop" and disappeared in an instant.
The original description was that once this place was triggered, it would start to activate after two hours. At that time, even immortals would find it hard to escape. Any human inside would be subjected to the love query of the God of Love who had fallen here.
On the lake surface, the water began to surge. The blood rippled and gradually faded. But a strange color appeared with it.
It was gold and silver. Gold flickered, silver rippled, and with astonishing speed, it spread and spread to the surroundings...
"Everyone remember what I said before!" Huo Yuhao exhorted his companions again, and then sent a telepathic message to the Silver Dragon King who was desperately resisting the Golden Dragon King's offensive in the sky.
"Gu Yuena, find a way to lure the Golden Dragon King into the lake!"
"Alright. I'll trap it with an elemental array for a while. You try to see if you can use the Immortal Spirit Wood to extract its qi and blood." Gu Yuena responded. After repeated fierce battles, she was already exhausted and had to let Huo Yuhao and the others try to attack the Golden Dragon King.
Although it might not be useful, it was better than useless.
