Xiagn Zizhen had completely understood the reason why his master arranged for him to enter this place of imprisonment was definitely because this place of imprisonment was extremely special.

It was even possible that this was not a place of imprisonment at all. However, he was not the one who had entered this imprisonment ground.

“This is troublesome!” Xiang Zizhen frowned deeply. Compared to whether he could complete what his master had instructed him to do, he was more worried about Xiao Shi’s safety.

After Xiao Shi passed through the cemetery, a fork suddenly appeared in front of him. The entire fork was divided into five different paths. Xiao Shi immediately recalled one of the eight taboos.

[If you encounter a fork in the valley, you must choose the leftmost path.]

He decisively chose the left path. After advancing for more than ten minutes, Xiao Shi smelled a strange fragrance. The moonlight was hazy, and a flower field appeared in front of him. Between the greenery, there were white silk-like flowers that undulated slightly in the night wind.

Xiao Shi realized that a huge figure had appeared in front of him. It was a burly figure six meters tall. He was wearing black armor and holding a huge battle axe in his hand. However, it only had a body and no head.

Valley guards!

A taboo about guards immediately appeared in Xiao Shi’s mind.

[There would be patrolling guards in the valley. If you encountered trouble that you could not resolve, you could ask the guards for help. However, after obtaining the help of the guards, you have to fulfill one of the guards’ wishes.] Xiao Shi fell into deep thought. If he could ask the guards for help, he wondered if he could obtain the positions of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect disciples imprisoned here.

So far, he had yet to obtain any relevant clues here. He did not find any traces of the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect either. If he could know where the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect were imprisoned here,

Perhaps he could go over directly. He wanted to take as few unnecessary paths as possible. However, if he asked the guard for help, he had to fulfill one of his wishes.

Xiao Shi thought about it seriously for a moment. He felt that with his current luck, there was no need to be too afraid. Even if he helped the other party fulfill a wish, it should not be too difficult.

At the thought of this, Xiao Shi walked straight to the headless guard in front of him. When he walked in front of the headless guard, there was a heavy, low voice that came out of the headless guard’s chest. “How can 1 help you?”

“1 want to know where the person imprisoned in this valley is.” Xiao Shi asked.

Although the headless guard had no head and his expression could not be seen, Xiao Shi could feel that his question made the headless guard fall into deep thought. After thinking for a few seconds, the headless guard replied. “There are no prisoners here.”

“No!?” Xiao Shi was shocked. He had a bad feeling. Although when he entered this place, he felt that this place did not seem to be used for imprisonment, since the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had asked them to enter this place to rescue them, there should not be any mistakes in the information.

“Or is it…? Did I ask the wrong question?” Xiao Shi pondered for a moment. He asked again, “Is there anyone else here besides me?”

He felt that in the headless guard’s mind, perhaps he did not think of it as imprisonment. Therefore, he needed to change his words and ask the other party if there was anyone else other than him.

The headless guard fell into deep thought again. After thinking for a moment, he replied, “There’s no one like you here.”

Xiao Shi’s pupils shrank. In other words, there were no imprisoned members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect here at all!

“Then why did the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect let us enter this place?” Xiao Shi’s mind raced. There were a total of two prisons in the Xingluo Province. If there were no members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in this prison, it would probably be in another prison.

Then what was going on with this place of imprisonment…?!

“According to the original plan, Xiang Zizhen should have entered this place. With Xiang Zizhen’s identity and status in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, it’s impossible for him to be treated as an abandoned pawn and cannon fodder.

“Since the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect allowed Xiang Zizhen to enter this place, they must have determined that with Xiang Zizhen’s ability, he can achieve their goal in this imprisonment ground.”

Xiao Shi pondered. Although he realized that this was not a place of imprisonment, there was no way out since he had come in. The most important thing for him now was to find the true purpose of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect for them to enter this place.

Unfortunately, he could not enter the dream world here. There was no way to contact Xiang Zizhen. He could only rely on himself to explore.

“What else can I help you with?” The headless guard asked anxiously. He seemed to want to help Xiao Shi. His answer now could not be considered to have helped the other party. Therefore, he could not get the other party to help him fulfill his wish.

Xiao Shi shook his head. “Not at the moment.” He no longer paid attention to the headless guard. He continued forward. He thought about the taboo in this valley. He tried to find out the true goal of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect from the eight taboos in the valley.

However, even if he thought about all eight taboos carefully, he did not think of the key. He kept feeling that he was still lacking some important clues and information. This might require him to continue deeper into the valley.

The answer might be hidden in the deepest part of the valley.

Soon, Xiao Shi entered another area in the valley. There were many weapons and various treasures scattered in this area. These weapons and treasures were damaged. However, a small portion remained intact.

Xiao Shi realized that these weapons and treasures contained almost all realms. Not only were there treasures in the lower and intermediate realms, he even saw a treasure suspected to be in the upper three realms.

It was a spear stained with golden blood that was stabbed into the ground. The golden blood on the spear still had a terrifying aftershock. While emitting a blazing light, it also carried a scorching heat.

It gave Xiao Shi the feeling that as long as he touched it, he would instantly turn to ashes. Clearly, just the golden blood on the spear was extremely terrifying and extraordinary. The entire spear was located in the center of the treasures.

Even though he was very far away, Xiao Shi clearly felt the terrifying aura emitted by this spear. This aura was so powerful that it exceeded all the treasures he had seen in the past. It made his body and soul tremble instinctively. He did not dare to approach at all.

“Could this be… the aura of Dao?” Xiao Shi made a guess. He felt that the legendary Dao would have such a terrifying aura fluctuation. If this spear contained Dao, then this was clearly a Daolord divine weapon!

Among all of Xiao Shi’s treasures, the only thing that could compare was probably the Myriad Treasure Pagoda’s spirit. After all, the Myriad Treasure Pagoda was also a Daolord treasure. However, the Myriad Treasure Pagoda was not a treasure used for killing.

Even though it contained the Dao, it was not the Dao of attack and kill.

Xiao Shi could only stay away from this divine weapon and walk at the edge of this area. As he advanced, he also took the opportunity to observe the many weapons and treasures here. He felt that this area was more like a crippled field of weapons and treasures. Even if some of the treasures were damaged, they still had shocking value.

Xiao Shi thought that if he could put all these treasures into the Purple Treasure Tablet and convert them into the value points in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, he would definitely be able to exchange them for many treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Unfortunately, under the taboo rule that items could not be picked up, even if a good treasure appeared in front of him, he did not dare to pick it up.

“If this is really a Daolord divine weapon, then this valley is a little terrifying!”

Ordinary places could not accommodate Daolord divine weapons. An area that could accommodate a Daolord divine weapon was at least an area at the Daolord level.

It was even possible that this was a land of demigods!
