The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 97: The Situation of the Lonely Valley
The prisoners Jing Yang released have mostly been detained in recent weeks. Some are more than two to five years old. Jing Yang clenched his hands when he heard it.
It was ironic because the Jiang Empire was so far from what he had imagined. It was precisely Jing Yang who accepted the offer to become Emperor Jiang, because he did not want anyone to feel the past just like him. Someone has to act and end it.
Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya themselves quickly blended in with the prisoners. During the journey they often joke to eliminate saturation in the midst of fatigue.
The journey to Shendu City which is expected to arrive faster is actually hampered. The stock of food supplies in Ye Xiaoya's Storage Ring only lasted for four days.
Some prisoners complain. It is only natural that they are basically rich people. Jing Yang instead told of his past when he had always eaten the flesh of a Beast and Demon Beast for five years. Hearing Jing Yang's story, the prisoner was moved to be more grateful to enjoy the food.
The prisoners were aware that since Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya also had their own busy lives, they regretted their actions for complaining.
Already four days had passed, Jing Yang had passed through the territory of Yunfei City by a detour. Now his goal was to head straight for Shendu City to meet Commander Shen Ho and the Heart Sword Association.
As the day grew darker, Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya again decided to spend the night. The prisoners also looked exhausted. Some men in their thirties asked Jing Yang to teach him how to hunt.
It was with great pleasure that Jing Yang taught and started hunting with the prisoners. There is an experience in itself when seeing the faces of people who are proud to catch rabbits and deer with the traps they make.
“This is enough. You guys come back first, I'll catch up.” Jing Yang waved and stared intently at the two animal shadows before him. It was unexpected that he met two Red Horned Fire Cows.
“It looks like tonight we will eat with satisfaction.” Jing Yang flowed his palms with aura before launching hundreds of palms on the two Red Horned Fire Cows.
Due to the commotion resulting from the exchange of attacks between Jing Yang and the two Red-Horned Fire Cows, some prisoners saw firsthand the fight Jing Yang had put up. They were stunned by Jing Yang's movements.
Jing Yang retraced the head of the Red Horned Fire Cow, then blasted a powerful punch that made the Red Horned Fire Cow lose its life instantly.
“Wait..” When Jing Yang took the Pearl Spirit Animal. It crossed his mind about a group called the Beast Animal Party. If the two Red-Horned Fire Cows he just killed were the work of the Beast Party, then this would put the prisoners in danger.
Jing Yang directly watched over where they were camping. He released his body aura with a large amount. The reach of his aura even reached the place where Ye Xiaoya was looking for drinking water with some women.
‘I'm too worried..’ Jing Yang let out a long sigh after not feeling the air of the warrior aura close to where they were camping.
When he returned, Jing Yang saw that some men had cut and started burning the flesh of the Red Horned Fire Cow. Seen Ye Xiaoya also explained the efficacy contained in it. Jing Yang had heard a little story from Lu Xiuyu about how precious the flesh of the Demonic Beasts and the Beast Beasts was. If the Five Color House became a large organization, then the meat supplies of the Beast and Demon Beasts would become an easy-to-search food for the people.
Jing Yang sat down with the others and began to enjoy the grilled meat together. Not feeling the night pass quickly, the sunlight scattered the darkness with a bright light.
Jing Yang returned to continue the journey with the others. They walked through the forest, through the hills and mountains. Stay overnight in nature and farewell to night.
It didn't feel like a week had passed since Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya left the Lonely Valley with the prisoners. After going through a long journey, they finally stood on the big road on the hill. Under the evidence is seen the city directly bordering the Qing Empire.
Some prisoners even cried. They did not expect to be given a second chance to lead a normal life. Yet Jing Yang caught a glimpse of some prisoners remaining gloomy-faced.
“Do not rush, Shendu City will not go anywhere.” Ye Xiaoya smiled as he saw some prisoners speeding up his footsteps after seeing Shendu City.
Jing Yang looked at the forest with tall trees towering upwards. After just looking at it, he understood that the forest with the tall trees there was the border between the Jiang Empire and the Qing Empire.

Along with Jing Yang's entourage who arrived at Shendu City. In the Lonely Valley came the members of the Black Pillar Tower who would execute some prisoners and bring some of the noble prisoners to Gufei City. But the headquarters that had been their hiding place for decades was now the place where the corpses of the sect members were piled up.
“Continent Sect, I did not expect anyone to know our hiding place. The Valley of Lonely is not easy to find. Most likely the Elder we sent to Cunfei City caught someone.”.
Xu Hu, the Head of the Black Pillar Tower was in disbelief to see his sect headquarters destroyed and filled with the corpses of its members.
“Ling Shan and all of you look for clues of the person who attacked the Lonely Valley! If you find him, tell me right away! I'll chase this fucking guy even to the end of the world!” Xu Hu went berserk from seeing his sect in a state of concern.
“Good, Sect Leader!” Swordsman Ling Shan brought along several warriors and began searching for the trail of the person who destroyed the hiding place of the Black Pillar Tower.
Xu Hu brought the six warriors who were the Elders of the Black Pillar Tower inside the headquarters. They checked the entire room but none of them survived. The prisoners escaped, all the warriors on guard died and what made Xu Hu even more furious was that the treasure vault belonging to the Black Pillar Tower had disappeared.
“Source and pills that help the sect development are even taken! Who is this fool who dares to harass my sect?!” Xu Hu clenched his hands before landing a punch on the wall.
The six warriors who were inspecting the entire sect hideout did not find a single survivor. One of the warriors called the Black Pillar Elder argued that the Heart Sword Association dared to act like this.
“Heart Sword Association, you say?!” Xu Hu raised his eyebrows. Then he stared at the six kneeling members before him, “Did the Skull Demon Island and the Red Full Moon not make any movement after the incident in the Nine Dragons Palace?”
“Chairman, although the strength of the Nine Dragons Palace is weakened. But the entire Elder was still alive even they had two new Elders named Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya.” The Black Pillar Elder replied while giving an explanation.
“Jing Which? Oh, the boy who pulled that sword.” Xu Hu had heard of the coup in the capital Huaran. Jing Yang's name had certainly reached the ears of the black stream.
Many things had happened since the arrival of Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya in the Nine Dragons Palace. The two had no name in the martial world of the Jiang Empire, but the appearance of Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya had truly become the scourge of the black stream.
Xu Hu himself knew that the abilities of the two were still far from Murong Qiaomi or the Elders of the Nine Dragons Palace, but the people who became friends of Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya were martial world figures who had big names in the Jiang Empire.
“We have an important mission now. We're going back to Gufei City. This plan must not fail because the Golden Forest can help restore our sect!”
Together with the six warriors who were with him, Xu Hu returned to Gufei City to carry out the plan to control the Gold Forest mine.
