The dark yellow curl of the valley master split into many parts between the light and the shadow. The cold wind blew on Chen Jian coldly. He felt extremely chilled, and even his anger seemed to become dispensable.

"What...what do you want to do?" Chen Jian repeated the question just now.

What is this person's origin? The enemy and partner? They don't look like him. He is arrogant and looks down on all living beings. He cares about Chen Jian very much, but he cares about the previous Chen Jian or his current self? I don't know.

Chen Jian stared at him like a demon, as if he could make the valley master reveal all the secrets.

The valley master smiled slightly: "This is my pleasure. I like to observe people like you, powerful and full of confusion." He walked leisurely, intoxicated in the dark jungle, and seemed to be walking as he pleased. The insects slowly drifting in the air made a buzzing sound, and the trees on both sides of the path became much smaller. The next journey suddenly became clear, probably to reach the gathering place of humans.

Chen Jian clenched his fists, but that's all.

He had the desire to attack the Valley Lord.

The Valley Master is definitely not an idiot, and the warning from the corpse-moving man is still heard. If you attack the Valley Master rashly, your life that has gone through a lot of hardships and escaped from purgatory will be wasted. At this moment, you can only swallow your anger and silently follow this crazy guy.

It was so quiet that the valley master wanted to say more.

Chen Jian said: "Who is the emperor now?"

"Ah." The Valley Master shook his head, his slender dark yellow hair jumped with his pace, "Which emperor are you asking?"

"Where...of course it was the West."

"Western prey." He laughed a few times, "Do you know how long you have been in purgatory?"

"……how long?"

"About half a year, from the winter when you disappeared in the north to the early summer now, half a year, maybe not much, but I don't know."

“This is impossible.”

"I understand, I understand!" The valley master laughed heartily, "All prisoners who came out of purgatory think it's impossible," he looked at the corpse-moving man, "'I can't just stay for such a short time' - but it's the fact that purgatory is like a long dream, the dream is too fulfilling and too real, and people forget the time. Not only you, but even I left purgatory with the same idea. Everyone, including nature, had a unified caliber, as if to deceive me. But I quickly understood, this is the case - do you know the reason? Because the days of purgatory are too hard, the harder the days, the longer the time. Don't be discouraged, you are the person who escaped from purgatory the shortest time in history, the last person who has this honor-" He patted his chest, "It's me."

Half a year? Chen Jian couldn't help but blink. Is it really only so short? But the time I spent in purgatory felt really long. He suspected that the Valley Master was lying, but at present, he could not see the meaning of the Valley Master doing this.

In any case, this matter can be put aside a little, and after he leaves the Worm Valley, he can judge the time by himself.

"You said 'Where is the emperor', are there many emperors now?"

“Yes, a lot.”

When the valley master spoke, the corpse-moving man stopped and listened carefully, and he was also interested in the situation outside.

"The Western Dynasties have perished, and China is now in a turbulent time. With Qi in the south and Ye in the north as the main body, the emperor of Qi is Qi Shengran, a capable emperor who has mastered some unspeakable strange powers." When he said this, the valley master seemed to sneer, and Chen Jian could not hear it sincerely, "The emperor of Ye is... Xu Zhongheng."

"Xu Zhongheng?"

"A dead person. Xu Zhongheng is dead, and the real emperor is Cang Yan."

Cang Yan... Chen Jian couldn't remember who this person was, maybe he didn't know at all.

"This is just a general situation. Specifically, there are still many county magistrates in the territory of the two major countries in the north and south, and they each divide their territory. However, depending on their strength, it is only a matter of time before those small countries were eventually annexed by bulk countries." The valley master said, "We have said too much - here, we are here."

Chen Jian looked up and saw that not far away in front of them was a quagmire that was constantly emitting bubbles like a septic tank, and the stench emitted quickly enveloped the whole body.

"How about it, compared to the stench of purgatory, this is just a small witch." The valley master was very happy.

Chen Jian nodded silently. The Valley Master was right. The strange smell of purgatory is the real despair. Faced with this level of stench, Chen Jian did not feel disgusted at all. If he had not seen the quagmire in his own eyes, he would not have realized that he had walked into the odor-soaked environment without knowing it.

But unfortunately, this is not a promising advantage. On the contrary, Chen Jian understands how dangerous this matter is to him.

People can smell all kinds of smells, and sometimes they can sense dangers in advance through the smell. But purgatory raises the threshold of the senses. Now that he returns to the world, he must adapt to ordinary smells as soon as possible.

"Do you want to put her inside?"

"That's right." said the Valley Master, "This is rotten water. Only those who let it digest purgatory can we be completely at ease."

"Rotten water...a easy-to-understand name."

The valley master smiled unanimously and then signaled the corpse-moving man to take action.

The corpse-moving man agreed and approached the mud with bubbles gushing out like walking on thin ice. The gurgling sounds were getting closer and closer to him. The rotten water sensed that the corpse was about to be put into it, and the bubbling sounds were even louder and more frequent.

There were natural phenomena beyond common sense everywhere. Chen Jian watched the corpse-moving man step by step to the quagmire, thinking: The strangeness of the insect valley seems to be comparable to purgatory.

A turbid and viscous liquid suddenly gushed out of the mud pool, shooting straight towards Bai Yao's corpse. The liquid drew an arc in the air and opened the moment it was about to contact. The black giant net was covered and swallowed the corpse. The corpse-moving man frowned. The skeleton behind him was resisting the skeleton pulling. He gritted his teeth and took great effort to manipulate the skeleton to separate.

With a "click", the body was dragged into the mud, and a large number of bubbles emerged in waves, bursting on the surface of the pond, and some black mud sputtered to the ground, like sulfuric acid hitting the grass, immediately making a sniffle sound, and the flames suddenly burst out. Chen Jian watched Bai Yao's transparent body loom in the darkness, her face was still calm, and a smile before her death was hanging on the corner of her mouth. In the end, her body completely sank.

The surroundings fell into tranquility again, and only tiny bubbles were left slowly rising from the bottom of the mud, like monsters burping after eating, feeling satisfied.

The valley master and the corpse-moving man breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Seeing this scene, Chen Jian, who was not sure of this, also felt relaxed.

"I really can't figure out what this...is happening." Chen Jian murmured to himself.

"Let's go, I guess Chen Xiake is tired too. Let's go to my tribe to have a good rest today."
