Earlier, just before the Ganwu Sect was destroyed, the Immortal Sword Hall far away on the southern line was still unaware of what happened in the Broken Heart Valley, and was still in a calm and regular marching state.

The road from Nanying to Liushaping is not smooth and is not suitable for horseback riding. Zhu Shihua led three hundred disciples to walk north slowly. Zhu Yafeng walked in front, followed by Chen Shuqing and Gu Changping, followed by Zhu Shihua, and then three hundred ordinary disciples in gray battle uniforms, carrying the removed tents in their hands, and about forty small-leaf red sandalwood cages of varying sizes.

The sun was shining all the way, and the spring was full of spring. The small-leafed red bean trees rustled in the wind. Birds squeaked by the sky from time to time, but they were just some tits, white squids and other ordinary birds, not monsters, but made the valley look very angry. If it weren't for the stone monster that could create ghost-killing wall magic with Pu Zixuan in the Heartbreak Valley, Chen Shuqing would not have believed that this Heartbreak Valley was actually a place where monsters were in chaos.

But for others, coming here during the New Year season, it is contrary to years of common sense, causing whispers in the long queue.

Chen Shuqing was idle and asked Zhu Yafeng: "Senior Brother Feng, if it were in previous years, if we had left for about two hours, how many monsters would you encounter?"

Perhaps in Zhu Yafeng's eyes, Chen Shuqing was Pu Zixuan's old affair, and he looked at the Pu surname disliked him. A beauty took the initiative to chat with her, but she didn't even have to take a look at her and responded coldly: "It's hard to say, three or five, or ten, why do you remember these things if you have nothing to do?"

Chen Shuqing asked again kindly: "Then, the scenery here is so pleasant, why has it become a place where monsters emerge one after another? Whenever all things are demonized, they must go through thousands of temperings. It is rare to have occasional changes. How can they be demonized so concentratedly every year? It is really hard to understand."

Zhu Yafeng still kept his eyes forward and continued to respond lukewarmly: "Tsk, we are all businessmen, not students. As long as we know that there are monsters that can be captured every year, and we can make money. Why do we care about so much?"

Chen Shuqing kept sticking her cold butt with her hot face, but she couldn't get it well. She felt her heart was frustrated and she let out a self-deprecating breath and stopped talking.

Also a senior brother, Gu Changping, who was standing beside him, did not have the arrogance of Zhu Yafeng at all. When he saw Chen Shuqing opening up the conversation, he immediately became interested and asked: "Hehe, Miss Shuqing, do you want to know the answer to this question?"

Chen Shuqing was stunned and nodded, "Well, I'm not curious at all, that's fake. If Senior Brother Gu has some information, you might as well share it."

Zhu Yafeng glanced at Gu Xiangping with a squinted look, feeling that his kindness was unpleasant, but it was inconvenient to attack. He suddenly felt his face was dull and he didn't say a word.

Gu Changping didn't care about this and answered in detail: "Why is this canyon called the Broken Heart Valley? It has a great origin. It is said that more than a hundred years ago, there was a powerful purifier who should have taken the responsibility of subduing demons and eliminating demons, but he was not interested in this career. His only hobby was to work hard to cultivate his own purification power, hoping to reach the peak and achieve the ultimate state. However, no matter how he practiced, he surpassed one master after another, but there was always an insurmountable mountain in front of him. That was the most powerful purifier in history - Pu Songling, a lay Buddhist in Liuquan..."

When Chen Shuqing heard Pu Songling's name, he suddenly interrupted Gu Changping without caring about etiquette and whispered loudly: "What, is it actually related to Mr. Pu Songling?"

Gu Changping did not expect Chen Shuqing to have such a big reaction. He was stunned at first, and then reacted: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I forgot that Miss Shuqing is Pu Songling's adopted daughter, and your companion Pu Zixuan is also Pu Songling's descendant!"

Chen Shuqing said: "After you say this, I am even more interested. Who is the purifying messenger? What happened?"

Gu Changping cleared his throat and continued to tell, "It's all legends. Who is that person's surname? I haven't heard anyone talk about it. I only know that in order to avoid harassment from monsters, he chose to practice in this canyon for a long time. Then every few years, he went from Guangxi to Shandong to learn martial arts. He hoped to defeat Pu Songling to prove that he was the world's number one purifier. He had challenged for more than 20 years and was not a match for Pu Songling... Speaking of which, I also wanted to ask Miss Shuqing, if there was such a person who would appear in Pujiazhuang every few years? If the rumors were true, you must have seen him."

"Yes!" Chen Shuqing answered without thinking, "Given that Mr.'s identity is so prominent, in those years, there were indeed purifying envoys from all over the world. After hearing Mr.'s name, he appeared in Pujiazhuang from time to time to challenge Mr., but he returned home in a desperate situation. I also asked Mr. where they were all. Mr. always smiled and said casually that the purifying envoys in the world were friends, so not many of them could name them. As for whether they came from Guangxi, it was even more unknown."

Gu Changping said: "Since that's the case, let's ignore his name. Anyway, it is said that after he was depressed and unsuccessful, he returned to Guangxi in May of a certain year. Thinking that his lifelong pursuit could not be realized, he was so touched that he was heartbroken and jumped off the cliff and committed suicide. So from that time on, this ordinary canyon had a name called Broken Heart Valley. The purification power of this person has been cultivated to the point of being second only to Pu Songling. Because of his overly persistence, it combined with his resentment, forming a powerful evil spirit. Those evil spirits cannot escape from the small-leaf red bean forest, so they become fertile soil for monsters to breed. I don't know whether this legend is true or false..."

Chen Shuqing suddenly remembered what the groom Lao Fang said at the beginning, "I heard that there is a strange rule there: starting more than a hundred years ago, after the New Year every year, some monsters will be born one after another..."

Isn’t this “more than a hundred years ago” the era of Mr. Pu Songling?

The time was highly consistent, Chen Shuqing said: "I think it is true. Mr. Pu Songling died about 150 years ago, and the time when he became a purifier can be pushed forward for about 40 years. In other words, the time when this person died about 1670 years ago. That is to say, this rule began to appear in the heartbreaking valley. In the later years, our four major demon-removing sects gradually formed."

Gu Changping sighed: "In this way, just as water can nourish all things, and evil energy can nourish all things, this has far accelerated the process of demonization of all things... It is really lamentable and sad to be a purifier brings such bad luck to the world!"

Zhu Shihua narrowed his eyes behind the two of them and listened without saying a word. Of course, he had already known this legend. However, seeing Gu Changping's indignation, he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "What's the pity? What's the sadness? If there were no monsters to capture, how could the brothers have such a good life? Okay, stop talking, the destination has arrived."

While talking, the team had already walked down another mountain. A huge flat ground appeared in front of him, and his vision suddenly became clear. On the other side of the flat ground, there were already a bunch of people dressed in black attire and stopped - it was no one else, it was the Guilin Yongsheng Gate who had been waiting for a long time.

Zhu Shixia walked from behind Chen Shuqing to the front of the team and walked towards the other party. He saw three men in brocade clothes standing at the front of the team. They were He Tianao, the head of the Yongsheng Sect, and his two purifying envoys, Lin Huinan and Xu Qing'an.

The two sides were almost approaching. When Zhu Shihua saw that the other party was the leader of the alliance, he arrived before him. After waiting for a long time, he felt a little sad. He speeded up and bowed, "I'm late, so I've been waiting for the leader He for a long time."

"What is the matter with Master Zhu? We have just arrived." He Tianao looked at Zhu Yafeng and Chen Shuqing beside Zhu Shihua. From his position, he understood that these two were abilities under the Immortal Sword Hall. He was slightly stunned and asked, "I heard that your hall has accepted a new disciple this year, named Pu Zixuan. I don't know where he is?"

When Zhu Shixia heard this, he knew what He Tianao was concerned about and said lightly: "Haha, my church did accept a purifying messenger named Pu Zixuan, but it is not a favorite disciple. He is just a temporary disciple. He is about to leave after the end of the year. Although others are in the heartbreaking valley, there are some things he has to do. On the way to come, Master He will see him later."

He Tian sighed: "Oh, I want to see what charm this kid is, which makes my daughter so fascinated by him! But Master Zhu don't worry. As far as I investigate, Pu Zixuan has no fault in Xichen's affairs. It was Xichen's wishful thinking, and he was plotted by the old thief Qin Yong, and was directly harmed by the two villains. Therefore, I just want to talk to Pu Zixuan, so I will not make things difficult for him."

Chen Shuqing, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He Tianao lost his beloved daughter, and he was extremely sad, but he was clearly distinguished from grudges. He knew that the tragedy was not Pu Zixuan's fault. He was worthy of being a man who was very wise and righteous, and was admired. However, it seemed that he only knew that Qin Yong was behind the scenes, but he did not know about the drought. Since this was the case, everyone would be able to fight against Qin Yong. It would be better not to mention drought.

Thinking of this, Chen Shuqing bowed and said, "President He, Xi Chen died to save Shuqing. Shuqing will always remember this great kindness and virtue. He also hopes to contribute a slight effort to capture Qin Yong as soon as possible. If Master He has any arrangements, just give him the order."

He Tianao looked at Chen Shuqing up and down, smiled miserably, shook his head and said, "Oh, if Xi Chen grew up, it must be the girl's beauty. Forget it, maybe I, He Tianao, should be like this..."

Seeing that He Tianao took the initiative to indifference to sensitive topics, Zhu Shixia immediately took the opportunity to change the topic and said: "I don't know what happened in the Heartbreak Valley this year, but the pattern is completely different from previous years. So far, no monster has appeared! If the curse of Heartbreak Valley has been resolved, and there will be no monsters after this year, wouldn't we cut off our financial path? I wonder if Master He knows the reason?"

President He shook his head and said, "To be honest, we are also confused."

Zhu Shihua asked again: "Then, why did Master He invite my church to come to Liushaping to discuss matters today?"

When He Tianao heard this, he frowned and said, "What? Didn't your hall send a letter this morning to invite us to meet here and say there is something important to discuss?"

"This..." Zhu Shixiao was even more puzzled. She looked at Zhu Yafeng, and saw that Zhu Yafeng was also confused. She said, "Feng'er, take the letter from the morning to take a look."

Zhu Yafeng took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Shihua. Zhu Shihua unfolded it and showed it to He Tianao.
