At this time, Han Fan was already on his way to Demon Valley. He had the experience of being chased and escaping to the underworld last time. This time, Han Fan went shopping in Yun City.

The kit is so full that I don’t have any savings from this year left.

I bought all the materials that I could definitely use, that I would probably use, that I might use, and that I felt I could use.

Touching the bulging kit, I instantly felt at ease.

Ten miles away behind Han Fan, Changfa followed from a distance. In a place where neither Changfa nor Han Fan could sense, a monk at the peak of the Seventh Realm in the City Lord's Mansion followed.

Long hair is a cultivation level at the beginning of the Sixth Realm, which is two realms higher than that of Han Fan. Originally, he thought that it would not be difficult to follow Han Fan secretly, but after traveling for several hundred miles out of the city, Han Fan's figure disappeared after being sensed by his spiritual consciousness.

.

Disappeared suddenly without any warning.

At that moment, Changfa and the people in the City Lord's Mansion were all panicked.

They subconsciously thought that Han Fan had suffered some danger. In their opinion, Han Fan himself did not have this ability.

Changfa and the people from the City Lord's Mansion rushed after him, not caring whether they would be exposed.

At first, Han Fen didn't know that someone was following him. He originally wanted to go to Demon Valley at a normal speed, so that he wouldn't consume too much energy or aura.

Later, I really felt that the speed was too slow, so I simply used Ghost Step to rush forward. Anyway, his natal magical power is not a high-consuming single-shot skill like others.

He has a small and sustainable magical power, although he has little attack power.

Not long after using Ghost Step, two figures rushing towards him at great speed appeared in his spiritual sense.

Han Fen recognized that one of them was Changfa from the team, but he didn't know who the other one was, but it was obvious that the other one was stronger.

Han Fan felt a shiver in his heart, and immediately moved in the direction of his long hair.

"Huh?" Han Fan ran straight over in Changfa's sight, but at such a close distance, there was no sense in his consciousness.

Before Changfa could be surprised, Han Fen sent a message: "Someone is coming this way too."

When chasing Han Fan just now, that person also exposed his figure, so Long Hair sensed it. He was relieved when he saw that it was the monk from the city lord's palace.

When Han Fen went out, how could the other party not send someone to protect him?

However, Han Fen's reaction made Changfa a little confused.

Since he had detected someone approaching, why couldn't he recognize the monk who was protecting him?

"Brother Fa, why are you so stunned?" Han Fan was a little anxious. The fluctuations emitted by the other party were obviously much more terrifying than those of Long Fa, who was at least at the peak of the Sixth Realm and above.

"You...don't you know that person?" Changfa was surprised.

"Ah?" Han Fan was also confused. Changfa's ability to say this at least meant that he knew this person. If there was danger, he wouldn't be so relaxed.

However, Han Fan checked with his spiritual consciousness the monk who was less than three miles away from him, and he really didn't recognize him.

"Should I know him?" Han Fan asked weakly.

"This..." Changfa was also confused.

Changfa thought about countless possibilities and finally chose the most likely conclusion.

——Han Fen may only know the city lord. There are so many people in the city lord's mansion, and he doesn't know who will come to protect him, so it makes sense that he can't recognize the other party.

Thinking of this, Changfa felt relieved. In addition, there was some small happiness. The man's cultivation in the Seventh Realm was not remembered by Han Fan. He was only in the Sixth Realm but he had a good relationship with Han Fan.

"Oh, those are the monks sent by the city lord's palace to protect you, don't worry."

Changfa's tone when he said this was very matter-of-fact, giving the impression that the person was sent by him. Now Han Fan was even more confused.

"City Lord's Mansion?"

"Yes, the City Lord's Mansion."

"???"

Changfa looked at Han Fan with a confused look on his face, and then thought of something.

"Okay, actually we already knew this, so stop pretending." Long Hair said with an expression like "I've seen through you already."

"Huh?" Han Fan was confused.

At this time, the monks from the City Lord's Mansion also arrived.

"If you continue to use this magical power that masks your breath, your subordinates will have no choice but to follow you closely," the monk said.

"Subordinate?" Han Fan was completely dumbfounded.

"It's already like this, why are you still pretending?" Changfa said.

Han Fen didn't answer anymore, but began to think about the matter carefully.

City Lord's Mansion, Yun City, the people who protect him...

When Gegla came to take him to Yun City before, Han Fan just thought he was stating his position. It seemed that Gegra had mostly entrusted the city lord to take care of him.

Thinking of this, Han Fan probably understood what happened just now.

The captain was worried about his own safety, so he asked Changfa to protect him, and the same was true for the city lord.

Because of the Ghost Step's ability to hide aura, the two thought they had an accident, so they showed up.

"Okay, I won't use that magical power anymore, and don't follow me so closely. Fa Ge, the team has missions every week. You see, there is someone following me anyway. It's a waste of time for you to follow me anymore." Han Fan

Look at the long hair.

"That's true." Changfa thought for a while and felt that it was indeed the case.

If Han Fan really encountered a problem that the monks sent by the city lord's palace couldn't solve, he wouldn't be able to help.

Seeing Changfa turn around and leave, Han Fen breathed a sigh of relief.

He saluted the monks in the city lord's palace and said, "Sorry for bothering you."

"No need to do this, this is what subordinates should do."

The monks in the City Lord's Mansion call themselves subordinates because of the reminder from the City Lord's personal bodyguard.

As the city lord's personal guard, he saw with his own eyes the city lord's concern for Han Fan, so he naturally had to give some appropriate reminders when arranging tasks.

Seeing the monks from the City Lord's Mansion retreat, Han Fen shrugged and continued on his way.

The master took more care of him than he imagined.

A week later, Han Fen arrived at Demon Valley.

He originally thought that monks could not stay out overnight. After all, there were many monks who died in the underworld in the early years. But later he learned that there was a treasure that could protect him when the underworld came.

There is no fixed category for this kind of treasure, but one thing they have in common is that they are produced in the underworld. The treasure itself has the aura of the underworld. As long as you find a place to practice at night and don't run around or cause trouble, you will basically be fine.

This kind of treasure produced in the underworld is also divided into levels. The benefits brought by the level correspond to the degree of freedom in the underworld.

Some monks have a high level of resistance to the treasures of the underworld. When they go to the underworld, they can walk around and look around without being affected. As long as they don't go to some forbidden places in the underworld, they are basically fine.

And Han Fan also realized belatedly that the drop of Styx's natal water in his gourd was a very high-grade treasure.

Because according to the information Han Fan found, no monk has ever been to the Yin City across the River Styx.

Han Fen didn't know how much freedom his natal water could give him, but he estimated that he could go to most places in the underworld.

However, Han Fan did not dare to try it rashly. Every time night came and the underworld descended, he would meditate on the spot and not go anywhere.

He said: What is there to see in the underworld? I have been to the bottom of the River Styx.

…

Although Demon Valley is just a canyon, it actually covers a very large area. It is basically half the size of Yun City.

How big is Yun City? At Han Fan's normal driving speed, it would take him one week to walk from the east of the city to the west.

There are two entrances to the Demon Valley, which itself is a huge valley with high sides and low middle.

In other words, the deeper you go, the deeper you get.

No one can say exactly how deep the Demon Valley is. It is about a hundred miles wide, and it gets wider and wider as it goes deeper.

The Demon Valley is filled with fog all year round. Some monks have tried to use magical powers to collect the fog. This is indeed feasible, but new fog will soon emerge from the Demon Valley.

After several attempts, it was discovered that the mist continuously filled the vacant places, and no monks continued to try in this area.

The aura in the Demon Valley is rich, and it is indeed a good place for spiritual practice. There are actually some masters living in seclusion here, associating with demonic beasts.

The Demon Valley is also sheltered from the influence of the night.

Within a few miles of walking in, Han Fen heard some faint sounds of fighting. Under the influence of the mist, the range of his consciousness was only 70% of what it was before.

Moreover, the captain reminded himself many times not to look too far into the Demon Valley, lest he see something he shouldn't see.

Han Fen controlled his consciousness to a distance of 100 meters around him, so that he could react promptly when encountering danger. Following the voice, he activated the Ghost Step and moved closer.

…

At the same time, at the City Lord's Mansion, An Ye had received news that Han Fan had entered the Demon Valley, and also learned that Han Fan had a magical power that concealed aura fluctuations.

"Demon Valley, why don't you send another person there?" An Ye was a little unsure.

"Since he has the magical ability to conceal his aura, which can be concealed even by monks at the peak of the Seventh Realm, then he must have the ability to protect himself. Speaking from a ten thousand step back, that person will definitely give him some life-saving treasures."
