1299 The treasure that Blacky returns with(Chapter preview)

Sima You Yue handed her life jade over to Ximen Feng, which meant that the Sima Clan would not know how her current situation would be.

The moment he got angry, the aura in the room completely changed. Sima You Yue understood his thought and went up to hold onto his hand, saying, "Great Grandfather, you have Grandmother and Grandfather's life jade."

If anything happened, he would know the current situation through Sima Xiu Qi's life jade.

"But that isn't yours." Sima Zhi Yuan said.

"Great Grandfather, isn't it the same no matter whose it is?" Sima You Yue held onto his hand and acted coquettish, "I'm still the Vice Valley Master no matter what, and they need to know how I'm doing. It's not like I can leave Grandfather's name jade with Heartbreak Valley and give you mine, right?"

"Then there's still nothing that…"

"Alright, alright, let's just leave it at this." Sima You Yue said, "Great Grandfather, we're going to set off. You won't make me go off in a bad mood, right?"

Sima Zhi Yuan saw her beaming at him coquettishly and didn't want to make her unhappy, so he said helplessly, "Alright then. You can agave your way this time, you have to behave."

"I definitely will." Sima You Yue hurriedly replied.

"Once we rescue your father, come back to the clan." Sima Zhi Yuan said, "If you can't bear to let go of Heartbreak Valley, they can come with us. They'll be in the inner regions as well."

"Great Grandfather, they're perfectly fine in heartbreak valley." Sima You Yue said, "Heartbreak Valley has a strategic terrain, as well as poison creatures to act as protective barriers. It's good for my members who have many enemies. As for me, let's talk again once we find my father."

She didn't put her foot down, meaning that it was possible for her to return and possible for her not to. It all had to depend on how Sima Liu Xuan was.

Sima Zhi Yuan had always known her position. Knowing that it was useless to push her, he patted her shoulder, saying, "Then you definitely have to rescue your father. I will wait for you both at home."

"I definitely will. Great Grandfather, you can rest assured."

Sima Xiu Qi and Huang Ying Ying saw the way they interacted with each other and looked at each other. Dad really pampered You Yue. They saw the way they acted so closely with one another and Sima You Yue was probably the only one who could act like that with him in the entire clan.

"Bark bark bark-"

The barking gave everyone a shock. They actually didn't realise that there were spirit beasts nearby!

Nobody knew where Blacky came from and he came beside Sima You Yue. in his mouth was a short flute.

Sima You Yue squatted down and patted its head, saying, "Where did you run to these few days?"

"Bark bark bark-"

Blacky hurriedly placed the flute that was in his mouth into her hand and barked twice more to curry favour.

"What is this?" Sima You Yue looked at that little flute. It was about ten centimetres long and had a milky white body. On the end was a skull, feeling ice cold to the touch.

Di Wu, who was standing by the side, jumped up with shock and shouted, "Bone Flute!"

"Bone Flute? What is that?" Sima You Yue raised her head and asked.

"The ghost realm has many dark artifacts. The tune that plays from a bone flute can control a person's mind. It is one of the top ten great dark artifacts in the ghost realm. If my guess is not wrong, the last time something happened in Fair Eastern City, it was because someone used this bone flute to control your people and opened the portal." Di Wu said.

"This is the one?" Sima You Yue looked at the bone flute in her hand, "Now that you mention it, there was really the sound of a flute playing in Fair Eastern City… Was this the item that produced it?"

"Should be it." Di Wu said, "You definitely cannot let anyone know that you possess the bone flute. Otherwise, those people from the ghost clan will definitely cause trouble for you."

"Is this that enticing?" Sima You Yue said.

"How could it not be? It's one of the ten great dark artifacts of the ghost realm. The Hundred Ghost Fan, Bone Flute, Soul Drowning Seal and the like are all at the top few. If any one of these dark divine artifacts appeared, it would cause the ghost realm to fight each other, causing great storms of blood."

"So powerful." Sima You Yue smiled, she loved treasure!

"Bark bark bark-" Blacky saw that Sima You Yue was happy, so he became happy as well.

Sima You Yue kept the bone flute away and picked up Blacky, saying, "The previous owner must have been struck to death by the lightning calamity, so he left this here. Blacky, you specially went to pick it up for me, didn't you?"

"Bark bark bark-" Blacky wagged its tail happily.

"I'll wait till we return home and have more time before looking into this more. Alright, let's go." She took out a one-time use teleportation array and said to everyone.

"Be careful." Ximen Feng said.

"Boss, I believe that you will all return safely." Feng Kai said.

"We will take good care of all the things on this side. When you go over there, there's no need to worry about things here." Bi Sheng said.

Sima You Yue looked at them and nodded before going to activate the array and everyone walked in.

The light from the array surrounded them and the few of them quickly disappeared.

"If any trouble crops up at Heartbreak Valley, you can use this to find me." Sima Zhi Yuan placed a jade pendant into Ximen Feng's hand, "You guys should know how to use this to look for me, right?"

"We do." Ximen Feng said.

"Mm. Since she's gone, I'll help to take care of you. Since you know what to do, I won't say more." After speaking, he opened a portal through space and walked through it.

Bi Sheng saw that Ximen Feng was rather worried and said, "Relax. You know how hardy You Yue is. She'll be fine. In any case, there is still so many of them from Blood Fiend City."

"Mm. Let's go. It's also time to deal with the Yin Yang Palace and the Zong Zheng clan."

...

This array was one that Sima You Yue had gotten Fang Ming to help her make during the time she spent waiting. The distance this time was too far, and she was still unable to fix up an array that could take them so far.

Although Fang Ming was rather curious why she wanted to head to the Southern Desolation, he still didn't ask too much and quickly made it for her.

The southern part of the southern desolation had an endless marsh. It was known as the most dangerous marsh in the central regions. It was even said that the mud was shallow but viscous. If one were to go in, it would be extremely hard to get out.

In a space somewhere in the marsh, an array entrance suddenly appeared and Sima You Yue's group walked out.

Sima Xiu Qi recognised the place after a few glances and said, "This is the Southern Desolation Swamp."

"Southern Desolation Swamp? Why are we here?" Sima Liu Feng knew about this place. They didn't think that they would come here immediately.

"Is the ghost city here?" Sima Liu Yun frowned.

"I used the coordinates that Yin Lin gave me to ask President Fang to make this array, so it should be right." Sima You Yue said.

"Master said before that one needs to set off from the Southern Desolation Swamp to head to ghost city." Little Helper spoke, ascertaining the authenticity of their location.

"But we came here before and we didn't find anything special." Sima Liu Feng said.

In order to look for Sima Liu Xuan, they had gone to many places all those years. The South Desolation Swamp was one of them. When they came here before, they didn't find anything unusual.

"Since Little Helper knows, lead the way."

Nobody expected that Little Helper would shake his head and say, "I don't know the route after this either."
