I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 365 The Secrets of the Sound Valley! A Huge Blunder? A Mysterious Monster!

Dou Qi Continent, Central Plains, Yin Valley.

Chu Yang stood in front of the mountain gate of Yin Valley, followed by a phantom figure.

It was a woman in a white dress, half real and half illusory, like a spirit, yet without any trace of soul energy emanating from her.

"Ah Hao is very thoughtful..."

The woman looked at a stone tablet not far away, her expression somewhat complicated.

The stone tablet was inscribed with the two characters "Tian Yin".

"Senior Yin Di, the people of Yin Gu will explain the current situation on the continent to you in detail."

Chu Yang said softly, "I am about to connect to the Great Thousand Worlds. With you here, I'm sure there won't be any outsiders who dare to cause trouble on the Dou Qi Continent."

He has reshaped the spirit of the plane and merged it with the remnant soul of the Sound Emperor, making the two inseparable.

Even looking at the "Three Thousand Worlds", the Dou Qi Continent is definitely the most unique plane.

The spirit of a plane is an incarnation of a guardian deity, capable of mobilizing all the power of this realm. If someone were to fight against it, it would be equivalent to fighting against an entire world.

In a sense, once the Sound Emperor unleashes his full power, even a Spirit-Rank Heavenly Sovereign would have to avoid his attacks.

And whether it's the powerful beings of the Great Thousand Worlds or the Demon Emperors at the Heavenly Sovereign level among the extraterrestrial demons, who would go to such lengths to stir up trouble in a lower plane?

"You can just call me Mu Tianyin. Although I am from ancient times, I was only in my twenties when I perished. It's rather strange that you keep calling me 'senior'..."

A smile appeared on Yin Di's face, and Chu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Yes!

When the Sound Emperor fell, he was in the prime of his life, yet he selflessly sacrificed himself for the Dou Qi Continent, demonstrating his remarkable personal charisma.

No wonder he had so many followers in ancient times!

"Go ahead and do your thing. Once the dimensional portal is built, I will help you stabilize it. You don't need to be distracted by this."

As soon as the Sound Emperor finished speaking, two figures flew out from the Sound Valley.

The two people were a man and a woman. The mature and beautiful woman had an air of nobility, while the man was an old man who looked as if he had one foot in the grave.

The two men glanced at the Emperor Yin, then looked at Chu Yang, bowing respectfully and saying, "Greetings, Emperor Chu!"

When Chu Yang broke through to the Dou Di realm in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, the extraordinary phenomenon shook the heavens and the imperial might enveloped the continent. Now everyone on the continent knows that this young half-emperor has taken that final step and ascended to the Emperor realm!

The first Dou Di since the ancient era not only represents absolute strength, but also means that he has found a way to break through to the Dou Di level.

In addition, the energy tide that blessed the entire continent directly elevated Chu Yang's prestige to an unprecedented level.

"No need for formalities. I've only come here to introduce this friend to the place..." Chu Yang said with a meaningful smile.

The old man and the beautiful woman were both stunned for a moment, then looked at Mu Tianyin, somewhat puzzled.

The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, then bowed slightly to Mu Tianyin and tentatively said, "I am Ye Qing, the current Valley Master of Yin Valley. May I ask who you are...?"

"Your surname is Ye?" Mu Tianyin raised an eyebrow. "What is your relationship with Ye Hao?"

The beautiful woman's expression changed slightly, her gaze becoming more serious, and she said in a deep voice, "It is indeed my ancestor!"

Ye Hao was one of Mu Tianyin's followers back then, and also the Earthly Sovereign who held a bamboo flute in the scene Chu Yang showed him in the forest.

"Ah Hao clearly perished in that catastrophe, so how could he have left behind a legacy here?" Mu Tianyin frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

As a spirit of a plane, she is supposedly omniscient and omnipotent on the Dou Qi Continent.

However, during that catastrophe, the power of the dimensional spirit was almost completely exhausted, and she brought it to the Great Thousand World and refined it into a barrier.

The only remaining stillborn fetus, which is the black crystal, has been dormant in the void for countless years.

Therefore, since the cataclysm, even the spirits of the planes have no knowledge of what is happening on the Dou Qi Continent.

Before the beautiful woman could speak, the old man asked with some excitement, "May I ask how this senior is addressed?"

He was also a member of the Ye family. When he heard the woman in front of him, who seemed to be a spirit, call his ancestor "Ah Hao," he vaguely realized that she was likely someone who had lived for countless years.

"My name is Mu Tianyin," Mu Tianyin replied with a smile.

The old man was struck dumb, while the beautiful woman was somewhat bewildered and didn't react for a moment. When her gaze inadvertently swept over the stone tablet not far away, she trembled violently!

"You...you..."

The beautiful woman opened her mouth wide, no longer displaying her previous air of nobility.

"Splash! Splash!"

A moment later, the old man and the beautiful woman suddenly knelt down simultaneously. The old man said in a trembling voice, "Emperor Yin! Senior Emperor Yin, you have finally returned!"

Seeing his expression, Chu Yang frowned slightly.

According to the ancestral teachings of Yin Valley, they should wait for the return of the Sound Emperor on the continent. Shouldn't the two be overjoyed to see Mu Tianyin now?

What's wrong with him looking so heartbroken?

"Get up and talk!" Mu Tianyin also sensed something was wrong. "What exactly happened?"

The beautiful woman helped the old man to his feet. The old man wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, and said, "When my ancestor returned, he was on the verge of death, but he did not receive treatment and instead locked himself up."

"Ten years later, our ancestor emerged from seclusion, his injuries fully healed, but he had lost all his cultivation and become an ordinary person."

"Later, my ancestor married a girl who had waited for him for ten years. However, in his later years, my ancestor suddenly went mad."

At this point, the old man glanced at Chu Yang, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"There's nothing to worry about. If it weren't for Chu Yang, I would have been reduced to ashes by now," Mu Tianyin said, waving her hand.

Hearing her say this, the old man bowed apologetically to Chu Yang before continuing:

"After going mad, the old ancestor kept saying that he had let you down, and he refused to eat or drink anything."

"With his average physique, he shouldn't have lasted long, but he managed to endure it for a whole year."

"The patriarch's wife stayed by his side day and night, but in the end..."

"But he killed her!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang was stunned.

Good guy!

What kind of melodramatic plot is this?

After his beloved passed away, he was heartbroken and married another woman, but in his later years he killed his wife to prove his pure love.

But recalling the scene the tree spirit showed him, Ye Hao, with his extraordinary and refined demeanor, didn't seem like that kind of person at all!

"Continue..." Mu Tianyin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The old man said with a hint of fear, "After killing his wife, our ancestor suddenly regained his senses, founded the Sound Valley, and left behind ancestral precepts."

"Then the patriarch went mad overnight, carrying his wife's corpse into a mountain cave."

"That cave is a forbidden area of ​​the Sound Valley, and these things are the biggest secrets of the Sound Valley. Only after the eldest member of the Ye family passes away will these secrets be told to the next Valley Master."

After saying this, the old man knelt down again, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Please, Emperor Yin, do not blame our ancestor!"

The Emperor looked at him with suspicion, "What do I blame him for?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "After our predecessor passed away, our ancestor married her in order to leave behind descendants who would wait for our predecessor to return to the mainland for generations to come."

"Our ancestor killed his wife with his own hands in his later years, which is enough to prove his affection for his predecessors!"

Chu Yang sighed and facepalmed. Putting Ye Hao's matter aside for the moment, the old man's worldview and views on relationships were indeed somewhat distorted.

Mu Tianyin's lips twitched slightly. "You mean... I'm that bastard Ye Hao's beloved?"

"Uh..." The old man looked bewildered, as if asking...

Is not it?

Mu Tianyin said with a dark face, "He's my cousin!"

"Ah, this..." Even Chu Yang was stunned this time.

So after all that, it turns out Ye Hao wasn't troubled by love at all!

Thinking of this, Chu Yang revealed a thoughtful expression.

Mu Tianyin ignored the descendant of Ye Hao who was concocting a tragic drama in his mind, and turned to Chu Yang, asking softly, "What do you think of this matter?"

Chu Yang astutely pointed out, "Ye Hao has likely been corrupted by the power of extraterrestrial demons!"

"Otherwise, he would never have survived that catastrophe!"

"The reason he lost all his cultivation was probably because he exhausted all his power to seal the power of that extraterrestrial evil race!"

Mu Tianyin nodded. "No wonder he founded the Sound Valley. At that time, on the Dou Qi Continent, only I had a chance to survive the calamity and resolve the power of the extraterrestrial evil race."

So in the end, Otoya is not some devoted follower who left behind "traces" hoping for the return of his beloved.

Instead, it was Ye Hao's "lighthouse" to lure Mu Tianyin, who might have survived, to this place to deal with the demon's whereabouts.

The reason Ye Hao said he was sorry to Mu Tianyin in his later years was simply because his cousin risked her life to protect the Dou Qi Continent and resist the evil race from beyond the realm.

After that catastrophe, there should have been no more demons on the Dou Qi Continent, but as Mu Tianyin's cousin, he not only survived, but also brought back the power of the extraterrestrial evil race.

At that time, he probably could no longer suppress the demonic power within him.

That's why he was controlled by that power and killed his wife. But because of his wife's death, he briefly regained his senses and sealed himself in the forbidden area of ​​Yin Valley.

Everything was connected, and all the clues formed a closed loop. The old man looked embarrassed and even a little annoyed.

Because those speculations did not originate from him, but were passed down through generations of the Ye family.

In other words...

The one who initially misunderstood everything was Ye Hao's eldest son!

However, his mother was murdered by his father, and his father went mad overnight, constantly muttering that he was sorry to Mu Tianyin. As their son, he must have suffered a great blow back then, which inevitably led to his extreme thoughts.

"Ahem..." The old man coughed lightly and took out a jade box. "Senior Emperor Yin, this is a relic left by our ancestor."

"He said that only you can open this box, so no one in the Ye family for generations has known what's inside."

Mu Tianyin took the jade box and felt a familiar fluctuation. The surrounding space trembled slightly, and a large amount of energy instantly gathered on her body.

With a flick of the finger, the energy pulsed gently, and then the jade box opened with a "click," revealing a broken bamboo flute lying inside.

Looking at the two broken flute pieces, Mu Tianyin sighed and said, "Why did he do this to himself?"

"The Dou Qi Continent is completely isolated from the Great Thousand Worlds. Even if the power of that extraterrestrial demon is released, it won't cause much trouble."

"Now that we've survived, why not live out the rest of our lives in peace?"

Hearing Mu Tianyin's soft sigh, Chu Yang's eyes flickered slightly. "I've seen this bamboo flute before. It was Senior Ye Hao's weapon, and he never parted with it. Why did it break?"

The old man shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Mu Tianyin said softly, "This bamboo flute was given to him by Qing'er, who is also Ahao's wife. The two were childhood sweethearts and have been in love since they were young, so Ahao always carries the bamboo flute with him wherever he is."

"At the same time, he also refined this bamboo flute into a powerful treasure, with unpredictable power, and it was even connected to his life."

"Now that the bamboo flute is broken, it means he is dead. That demon has probably taken over his body."

Putting away the jade box and bamboo flute, Mu Tianyin looked at the old man and said, "Let's go! Take us to the forbidden area of ​​Yin Valley!"

…………

Deep in the valley, behind a bamboo forest, the group arrived at a cave.

Chu Yang clicked his tongue in amazement: "No wonder I didn't notice it last time I came. This sealing technique is almost comparable to that of a Heavenly Sovereign. It seems that Senior Ye Hao took that step in the face of danger!"

Mu Tianyin frowned and said, "But this also proves that the demon is not simple!"

"Even Ah Hao, who broke through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm, could only choose to suppress the demon with his own body. It seems that things are not as simple as we thought."

Chu Yang shrugged and said, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. The Dou Qi Continent is about to connect with the Great Thousand World, so we can't let this hidden danger remain here."

Mu Tianyin nodded, then instructed the old man, "Have everyone in the Sound Valley leave immediately!"

"Yes!" the old man quickly replied and left.

After he left, Chu Yang contacted the Black Tower through Pangu and instructed Tang Huo'er to completely seal off the area where the Sound Valley was located, prohibiting anyone from entering.

Half an hour later, all preparations were complete. Mu Tianyin gently raised her hand and drew upon the power of heaven and earth.

Just as she was about to break the seal, she suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Yang, asking, "With your influence on the continent, you could easily mobilize a large number of powerful individuals. Why not have someone build a defensive line?"

Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "If even we can't solve what's inside, no matter how many more people come, it won't help."

Mu Tianyin sensed a strong sense of confidence from him, and at the same time felt that Chu Yang's words made some sense, so she no longer hesitated and began to break the seal.

The moment the seal completely dissipated, a terrifying power surged out of the cave.

Chu Yang immediately covered his body with his Origin Martial True Body, and the [Fengdu] sword appeared in his hand.

However, the enemy they expected did not appear, nor was Ye Hao in sight. They only sensed waves of demonic energy emanating from the depths of the cave.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and rushed into the cave without saying a word.

Mu Tianyin opened her mouth, but seeing that he had already entered the cave, she could only follow helplessly.

Deep inside the cave, Chu Yang slowly stopped, looking at the scene before him with a slight frown.

Turning to look at Mu Tianyin who had followed him, he asked softly, "What... is the origin of this thing?"

Mu Tianyin shook her head blankly, her eyes filled with shock. (End of Chapter)
