THE VALLEY OF HELL
Chapter 33. Back To Guancheng

Fan Tian continued to follow the trail left by the band of robbers to the south, because he was very confident that the group was heading there.

After walking for several miles, the trail disappeared, leaving Fan Tian confused by it.

"Damn! Did they indeed intentionally create this trail in order to trick the person who was going after them?" Fan Tian Grunt.

"I'd better get back to Guancheng, it looks like the mastermind behind all this is there." Mumbled Fan Tian felt confident that he could find a figure who was the brains of the slaughter of his family and also a figure who deliberately damaged the reputation of the Hell Valley sect.

He quickly darted west to find the main road leading to the city of Guancheng.

The figure who was watching Fan Tian was now able to catch up with the group of robbers who were about to dodge the attack from the group that was feared by them.

"Chairman! There is a figure of a man who matches the characteristics that our ten members pass on. The traps that are in our headquarters, are able to be avoided by him and it seems like he is not affected by the poisonous fumes, which are not, because he easily got out of that trap."

"Hmmmphhh, we should always be wary of that figure. Due to hearing his ability, the figure could not be looked at one eye." The chairman responded to the submission of his subordinates.

"Keep, has he been eaten with the trail we left behind?" Ask the chairman.

"Yes chief! He was currently heading south following the trail left by the Zhidi brother group." Reply subordinate.

"Ha.ha.ha..ha..ha..ha. Although he's a very interesting figure, but he's not smart enough to find me." Said the chairman.

"Chairman! But what if he realized it if it was just a trace of diversion?" Ask subordinates.

"Although he was aware of it, but I think it's too late, because we must have arrived at the Wang clan's patrol force camp guarding the southern part of the Guancheng city wall." Answer the leader confidently.

"Can you see his face?" Ask the chairman.

"No chief! I couldn't see his face, because he was wearing a caping hat that blocked my view while watching him from the top of the tree."

"Hmmmphhh, I must order the spy who is inside Guancheng city to be able to investigate the identity of the man in order to find out who he is and where he is from." Thought the chairman.

Suddenly a robber came to report the information he had obtained.

"Report chief! The group of warriors who came from the Zhenwu sect along with the Liu clan army has now been seen to return to Guancheng city!"

"Ha.ha..ha..ha..ha...a seems they are desperate with the results they found, so they decided to return to the city of Guancheng."

"Chairman! What should we do with the Liu clan?" Ask subordinates.

"You keep an eye on their movements, if we have the right momentum, they will definitely get the punishment they deserve for meddling in our affairs." Said the chief with a sly smile.

"What if we just report this matter to patriarch Wang?"

"No need! For such a trivial matter, everything must be solved by myself" replied the chairman.

"Most importantly, we must immediately gather as much treasure as possible in order to build a great power when that day comes to overthrow the power of king Li."

"Come on! Speed up your steps so that we can arrive as soon as possible at the patrol squad camp!" Shouted the chief giving orders.

They also immediately accelerated their steps so that they could quickly arrive at the place they were headed.

Fan Tian, who had already arrived at the main road to Guancheng City, immediately removed the caping he was wearing and immediately changed his clothes so that they could not be recognized by the robbers.

Now Fan Tian continued his journey using his mount.

When he was not far from the city gate of Guancheng, Fan Tian continued on foot so that the spies of the robber group could not recognize him.

Because his horse was seen by the group. To that end, Fan Tian let go of his riding horse and continued on foot.

While passing the examination, Fan Tian showed the identification plates of the Valley of Medicine.

A soldier who saw that was immediately shocked, because for a dozen years, there had never been another person related to alchemy who dared to show their identity.

"Why indeed?" Fan Tian asked with a curious look.

"Don't ask too many questions.get in! And remember what I said!" Tell the soldier with emphasis.

Fan Tian immediately entered Guancheng City with a question mark filled mind.

"What does he really mean? Is this related to the massacre of my family?" Thought Fan Tian.

"I have to wait for the soldier to finish duty and will ask why he forbade me to show my identification plate."

Fan Tian also saw a tavern on the side of the road and immediately stopped there to wait for the soldier to finish his duty.

When it was dusk, Fan Tian finally saw that there had been a change for the troops guarding the city gates of Guancheng.

"I have to follow the soldier." Thought Fan Tian and directly left the tavern.

Fan Tian's actions could instantly be realized by the soldier he was tailing.

"It seems that the young man was very curious about what I said, I had to walk into a quiet alley to be able to meet him." Thought the soldier.

Fan Tian followed him and was immediately confronted by the soldier.

"Young man! Why are you following me? Does it have anything to do with what I said before?" Said the soldier.

"That's right! Indeed I was curious about it.. Can you explain about it?" Fan Tian replied and asked back.

"Young man! A dozen years ago, there was a group that often carried out massacres against every alchemist in this Zhong Country region. And their actions were related to the Life Gold Pill that could grant immortality to anyone who swallowed it."

"For that I was very surprised that you were so brave to show your identification plates that came from the Valley of Medicine... Whereas for a dozen years now, the members of the Valley of Medicine had no longer shown their existence... And most likely it was because of the rumors that were circulating."

"It's like he doesn't know if there's been a massacre of my family..." Thought Fan Tian.

"Young man! That's all I can tell you. For that, you should be careful, because the group never stops to be able to have the pill." Close the soldier.

"Thank you sir for the information you gave me. If you don't tell me this, maybe I'll be in trouble ahead." Fan Tian Said.

"Alright, then, I'm resigning myself." Said the soldier and immediately left Fan Tian.

At the Han clan inn, Chen Zhu was paying attention to Sung Yunzhi.

"Sister Zhu! Can I go alone first?" Said Sung Yunzhi with a tone of voice that sounded sad.

"Yun! Are you thinking about that guy?" Ask Chen Zhu.

"That's it, there's no need to talk about it." Sung Yunzhi replied.

"Yun'er, it seems like your attitude has changed a lot after meeting that man. Do you like it?" Ask Chen Zhu again.

"Sister Zhu, please understand.I really want to be alone at this moment.But you should go to rest in order to recover your strength." Reply Sung Yunzhi.

"Damn! The man had actually poisoned Sung Yunzhi's mind. If I meet him, I want to see how strong he is!" Chen Zhu slammed down in frustration towards Fan Tian.

"Well, if you really want to be alone, I'd better just go." Said Chen Zhu and left Sung Yunzhi.

Almost the same thing as Dong Huang, he was now thinking about Fan Tian's whereabouts as well as the thoughts of Sung Yunzhi and Liu Ruyan who liked the man.

In the Liu clan residence, it was seen that even Liu Ruyan could not sleep at the thought of Fan Tian.

The moods of the three beautiful women were now in an uneasy situation from thinking about Fan Tian's state.
