Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 485 Immortal Valley, getting closer!

He pinched Gu Qingyue's nose in an annoyed tone. "A-Yue is right. Let's go save Father-in-law together." His skin had become much thicker under Gu Qingyue's repeated trials.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue smiled gently.

She fell asleep very quickly.

Mu Yun Chu gently tucked the blanket around her and tiptoed out the door.

He needed to make arrangements for the people and things going into the mountains beforehand, and wait until Gu Qingyue had rested before setting off.

Gu Qingyue doesn't need to worry about these things.

Gu Qingyue was sleeping soundly and quietly.

These past few days of continuous horseback riding have taken their toll; being a woman, I'm truly exhausted.

Adding to the shocking news brought by Zhang Xubai, the psychological and emotional impact was immense, coupled with her current worry for Gu Changling…

All these things piled up, making Gu Qingyue feel an unprecedented, overwhelming, and utterly exhausted state.

I woke up feeling refreshed and energized.

By then, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

Gu Qingyue could hardly believe it; she had slept for almost a whole day and night!

Mu Yun Chu chuckled as he placed a bowl of porridge and a plate of snacks on the small table by the bedside. He noticed that Gu Qing Yue's eyes were much brighter and more energetic than before, and he pinched her cheek. "Did you sleep well?"

Gu Qingyue nodded.

"Heh----- Get up and eat something first, then we'll have dinner. Also, your third brother has arrived," Mu Yun Chu continued.

"Ah? Third Brother arrived so quickly?" Gu Qingyue's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

She could hardly believe it. They had been speculating that the Great Chu delegation would arrive in Qihe Town several days later than them. And now, her third brother had arrived after she had just taken a nap?!

"Yes, I sent him a message by carrier pigeon yesterday, and he just arrived this afternoon," Mu Yun Chu said, helping Gu Qing Yue sit up and dressing her herself.

Gu Qingyue resisted for only a moment before taking it for granted. She was happy to have a man who loved her showering her with attention.

Thinking of this, her gaze towards Mu Yun Chu softened unconsciously, while Mu Yun Chu stared into her eyes for a moment, revealing an even more captivating smile.

Gu Qingyue felt that all the hard work she had put in during this period had been worthwhile. What in this world could be more empowering than loving someone and being deeply loved in return?

She will definitely rescue her father!

After the group gathered for dinner, everything was finally ready, and they were just waiting to set off.

"What are your plans?" Gu Qingyue looked at Mu Yun Chu, Gu Yuan Ming, Gu Yuan En, and Qin Fang whispering to each other not far away. Gu Qingyue rolled up her sleeves and walked forward.

Today she changed into a very neat and tidy outfit, deep purple, and wore her silver Shura mask. She was very satisfied.

"Yue'er, I've sent back the letter to Grandfather and Mother," Gu Yuanen said as he saw Gu Qingyue approaching.

“Okay, it’s good to tell your mother directly. She has the right to know the truth.”

Gu Qingyue respects everyone's rights and dislikes concealment and pretense of doing things for others' own good.

She likes to speak her mind.

After discussing it, the group decided to secretly return to the vicinity of Meng County and enter Meigu Mountain from there.

This time, Zhang Xubai and Zhang Qingxuan were naturally brought along.

Gu Qingyue had a gut feeling that this time, they would definitely find the Holy Maiden's lair and meet her.

Of course, she hoped even more to see her father, Gu Changling.

Based on their brief exchange and communication, Gu Qingyue believed that even though Gu Changling had lost his memory, he was still a shrewd and prudent person.

She longed for a father like that.

After dinner, the group set off on horseback into the territory of the Great Chu Kingdom. Soon, they arrived at Meng County, a place with a beautiful legend.

According to legend, it takes seven days and seven nights to walk into the mountains from here, and then you can see the deepest and largest rift valley in Meigu Mountain, where immortals live.

With prior preparations, Mu Yun Chu's men had already scouted out a relatively easy mountain path, so five days later they arrived at the valley where Zhang Xu Bai had fainted.

Gu Qingyue closed her eyes, carefully sensing the miasma in the air.

That's right, it's exactly the same as the one outside the Valley of a Thousand Flowers.

They were looking in the right direction; the Valley of Immortals should be nearby.

"Put on your masks first," Gu Qingyue instructed Jiang Wan to distribute the newly made masks to everyone. She also gave each person a small medicine pouch containing various antidote pills, fever reducers and anti-inflammatory drugs, snake repellent powder, and even small signal flares and incendiary bombs.

All of these are Gu Qingyue's exclusive secret recipes.

She told everyone to be fully prepared.

Although we don't know what situations we might encounter, it's always better to be prepared.

"Ah Yue, stay close to me," Mu Yun Chu said, looking at Gu Qing Yue as she gazed at the dark mountaintop in the distance under the night sky, her brows furrowed. He then squeezed her hand.

"Yes, let's do it together."

This time, Mu Yun Chu's Dark Wolves, Gu Qing Yue's Moon Shadow Pavilion youths, and Qin Fang's secret guards from Qihe Town were all present. As the son of the richest man in Nanzhao, he must have many skilled and trusted men under his command.

Of course, there were also Gu Chao and Gu Yun, who had always been with Gu Yuanming, as well as several personal guards.

While not everyone can be considered a master, their skills are quite impressive. In particular, Mu Yun Chu is already a Grandmaster, and her own internal energy has reached the initial stage of the eighth level, not far from breaking through to the ninth level and becoming a Grandmaster.

Of course, this was something Gu Qingyue thought of while secretly taking stock.

If it were someone else practicing martial arts, they would probably be utterly astonished.

Gu Qingyue's speed in learning martial arts can only be described as divine! When she set off from the capital, her internal energy had only reached the initial stage of the seventh level.

In just over a month, he's already reached level eight. Isn't that terrifying?

Everyone checked their weapons and other supplies, and finally, they stepped into the so-called Valley of Immortals.

Along the way, the scenery in this mountain was not much different from other places, except that there were a few more exotic flowers and plants, and the green plants were denser and prettier, but not significantly.

If a hunter ventures into these deep mountains to hunt, he might be even happier to see this place, because it's definitely a place where small animals like to gather.

But Gu Qingyue dared not let her guard down, as the miasma here was clearly even more intense.

She cautiously released her mental energy and explored carefully.

The further we walked, the lower the temperature and the heavier the humidity became, indicating that there was a river or underground river nearby.

"Look!" Xiao Nian's voice suddenly rang out.

Gu Qingyue turned around. They had just entered the gap between two mountains and had been looking ahead. Her mental energy had been searching in a fan shape ahead. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw a long waterfall hanging in the mountainside on the left!

Although the water flow is not very strong, you should still be able to hear the sound of the water, since waterfalls always leave water to flow into the river, right?

However, the sound of the flowing water was very, very faint!
