The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 2488

 Chapter 2488

Following Master Greendrake's suggestion, everyone

quickly agreed and began thoroughly discussing how

they were going t o make it across Noircorpse Valley

to finally get to the tomb. In the end, they didn't even

hold the full moon conference, opting instead to rush

to the valley...

All in all, there were about five hundred cultivators

from major sects participating in this mission.

However, only thirty-eight of them had managed to

enter the Domiensch Realm...

Speaking of Domiensch Masters, Darkwind and

Lyndon were unable to join http://amazingnovels.

blogspot.com along due to their injuries.

Because of that, Gerald simply brought the professor

along. While it was true that the professor's

cultivation was nowhere near as powerful as the rest,

this wasn't actually Professor Boyle... It was a

disguised Finnley instead!

Naturally, Finnley had tagged along to help Gerald in

secret. After all, the old man knew that even with all

these cultivators, the headless general was still going

to be an extremely dangerous encounter...

Regardless, in order to get to the tomb, they first

needed to get past Noircorpse Valley. As they made

their way deeper into the valley, Gerald recalled

being told that Freyr Zandt hadn't even been injured

in the tomb. He had been attacked in the valley

instead!

Speaking of the valley, it had apparently always

contained this dense forest that spanned an area that

could house a large city. The miasma that constantly

filled the valley only made the area all the more

dangerous...

As for its name, (Noircorpse' came from the rumor

that several soldier corpses had been buried together

with the general. The valley, however, had another

name, that being the Nether Soldier Valley. The

second name sprung up due to the rumor that a few

hundred thousand nether soldiers called this place

home...!

Either way, due to the thick demonic aura, corpsy

aura, and miasma, Gerald and the others found

themselves continuing to wander within the valley,

even after the ten-hour mark... It was simply that

difficult to navigate within this place! The headless

general was definitely benefiting from all this... After

all, just seeking out the tomb was now a tall task!

For safety's sake, Master Greendrake eventually

managed to get everyone to what appeared to be an

abandoned village nestled deep within the valley.

Naturally, no human had set foot in here for ages...

"...I entered this valley many years ago, and back

then, the corpsy aura and miasma were nowhere

near this terrifying...! How did things end up this

way? Even a Domiensch Master like me is finding it

hard to navigate this place!" grumbled Hauk Savik—

the leader of the Mount Taivas Sect—in a gruff voice.

"It's to be expected. After all, since the headless

general's devilish power has probably multiplied over

the years, his control over demons has greatly

increased! I t would certainly explain why this entire

valley reeks of demonic and devilish aura! With that

said, we need to be more cautious than ever!"

declared Master Greendrake.

"Master Greendrake's right. Regardless, since the

headless general will be busy absorbing the sun and

moon's essence tonight, I suggest that we make our

move early the next morning when the moon starts to

descend. That'll be when the headless general rests

from cultivating. That aside, his primordial spirit

won't have solidified by that point, so acting then

would be our best bet," suggested Yusra.

After a brief pause, however, she was prompted to

add, "One other thing... I hope none of you have any

greedy or malicious motives... If we can't achieve our

goal in time, please prioritize escaping. I don't think

this needs to be said, but we won't be able to deal

with the headless general, no matter what formations

we use!"

Upon hearing that, everyone—including Finnley—

quickly nodded in affirmation.

Gerald himself said, "While we await that moment,

make sure to cultivate and rest up tonight. We need

all the energy we can get to make this a speedy

mission!"

"Agreed, Mr. Crawford...!"

Following that, the team of five hundred people

began occupying the houses in the abandoned village

to cultivate and rest... While the village felt like it was

thousands of years old, it was still pretty wellpreserved

since nobody had been here for ages.

Either way, since they were going to wait past

midnight—when the miasma and devilish aura had

thinned out—before finally making their way to the

general's tomb, Gerald and Finnley made sure to

quickly enter one of the houses to cultivate a s well.

It was a short while later when Gerald looked up and

saw that a thick layer of miasma had completely

clouded the night sky... This prompted Gerald to

furrow his brows while muttering, "...I can't explain

why, but I keep having a feeling that something bad

will happen in the valley...!"

"Hmm? So you can feel it too? Not bad! Regardless,

the devilish aura has completely covered the moon by

this point, and the sun and moon's essences are

rapidly being drained as well. To be able to do all this,

the headless general is truly far more powerful than

you could ever imagine..."
