Realm of the Night God

It is true that the Underworld Envoy's ghost eye ability can see things that the naked eye cannot, but the main function of the ghost eye is to see the past of ghosts and break through illusions. To determine if there is a restriction barrier in this valley, it depends on the strength of the restriction barrier.

For example, when he obtained the Mountain and River Grand Formation from the Ma Family, even after fully activating the formation, he could not detect anything with his ghost eye. He had to infuse the ghost eye with a certain amount of Yin spirit power before he could see the problem.

If Yang Haoran could obtain the Mountain and River Grand Formation, then the Alchemist should also be able to obtain such a formation flag. Perhaps the Alchemist's formation flag is even more powerful than the Mountain and River Grand Formation.

Therefore, Yang Haoran was not sure if he could see through the restriction barrier in this place with his ghost eye.

Of course, if there was no restriction barrier here in the first place, that would be a different story.

Having made up his mind, Yang Haoran did not hesitate. He rose into the air and hovered above the valley, surveying the area below.

From this height, he could see the entire valley at a glance.

"Ghost eye, open!"

With a low growl, Yang Haoran's eyes turned jet-black, and his ghost eyes looked both terrifying and mysterious.

Fortunately, he had already prepared for this possibility, so he did not retract his ghost eye. Instead, he infused it with Yin spirit power, hoping to enhance the ghost eye and see if there were any other discoveries.

As the ghost eye grew stronger, it began to emit black smoke, and the valley before his eyes gradually changed with the enhancement of the ghost eye.

However, just at this moment, he seemed to sense something, his expression changing slightly. He retracted the ghost eye and immediately hid in the valley below, sealing all his power fluctuations and aura.

He hid behind a large tree, his gaze turning to a certain area in the sky.

Under his gaze, a space rift appeared in the sky, and two figures, a man and a woman, emerged from the space rift.

The reason for his change in expression was that he had sensed a disturbance in the space where the rift appeared.

He was no stranger to such sudden spatial disturbances, as they usually indicated someone trying to tear through space to teleport here.

He did not know who the newcomers were, but given his cautious nature, the sudden appearance of this event, the most rational thing to do was to hide himself and observe the situation before making a decision.

The suddenly appearing man and woman, the man was an old man, and the woman was a young beauty in her twenties. They seemed to have an affectionate relationship, likely a grandfather-granddaughter pair.

The woman's power fluctuations were average, while the old man's power fluctuations were even weaker than the woman's.

Of course, Yang Haoran would not rashly conclude that the old man's strength was inferior to the young woman's, as the old man might have hidden his true strength, and the woman's current power fluctuations might already be her full strength.

Seeing the two emerge from the spatial rift, Yang Haoran's first thought was whether this old man might be the target he was looking for.

Ma Yuanjin had only told Yang Haoran the Alchemist's address and name, but not the Alchemist's appearance. According to Ma Yuanjin, this Alchemist rarely showed his true face and often wore a mask, so Ma Yuanjin had never seen the Alchemist's real appearance.

For this reason, Yang Haoran had not obtained the Alchemist's appearance from Ma Yuanjin at the time.

Yang Haoran's guess that the old man might be the Alchemist he was looking for was because the old man appeared to be over ninety years old.

Of course, this was just a momentary guess on Yang Haoran's part, and he would not simply conclude that the old man was the Alchemist he was looking for based on this alone.

As for whether the Alchemist he was looking for was this old man, he felt he would know soon enough. After all, the fact that these two knew about this valley meant that they were either the owner of this place or visitors like him.

If the former, it would be the best-case scenario, as he could then save a lot of effort and just focus on trying to achieve his goal as much as possible.

If the latter, it would also be good for him, as he should be able to get the answer about whether the Alchemist was in this valley from these two.

Earlier, when he activated his ghost eye, he had not confirmed whether there was a restriction barrier in the valley. He had intended to push the ghost eye to its limit to see, but then sensed the disturbance in space and hid. If these two were also here to visit the Alchemist, Yang Haoran thought they might be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

However, the subsequent events turned out to be somewhat beyond his expectations - or rather, completely different from what he had imagined.

"Old Feng, my old friend has arrived. Aren't you going to come out and greet him?" The old man's voice, laced with amusement, echoed through the valley.

After the voice fell, apart from the calls of some birds, there was no response.

Yang Haoran knew who Old Feng was. Based on the information he had obtained from Ma Yuanjin, the Alchemist he was looking for was surnamed Feng.

From the current situation, Yang Haoran confirmed two things:

First, the old man standing in the sky was not the Alchemist he was looking for.

Second, the Feng Yaoshi he was seeking was indeed in this valley, as the old man's tone was full of certainty when he called out to him. T^hi*s+ c#ont&e.nt is pre@s$ente$d# by M4%V$L*EMP#YR.

Seeing no one respond, the old man did not get angry. He had a smile on his face as he continued, "Hehe, Old Feng, do you think that by hiding in the formation, no one will know you are here? You've been living in this valley for many years, although I don't know the reason why you've been staying here. But there are quite a few people who know that you, Feng Yaoshi, are residing in this valley."

The old man's voice rang out in the valley again, but just like before, there was still no response from Old Feng.

The woman standing next to the old man suddenly had an angry expression on her beautiful face.

"Old man Feng, you shouldn't refuse to drink the penalty wine. We came to find you because we respect you, so don't think that you are the only Alchemist in the world!"

The woman spoke very rudely, and Yang Haoran couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly upon hearing her words.

He frowned, not because he felt it was unfair to Feng Yaoshi, as he had no personal connection with Feng Yaoshi and couldn't possibly be offended on his behalf. He frowned because the woman's words were likely to anger Feng Yaoshi, and if Feng Yaoshi got angry, not only would they fail to achieve the purpose of this trip, but Yang Haoran might also get implicated, and that was what he was concerned about.

At this moment, Yang Haoran had only one thought in his mind, and that was to hope that this grandfather-granddaughter duo would be more polite and not really anger Feng Yaoshi.

Unfortunately, the Death God did not favor him, and the scene he had hoped for not only did not happen, but instead progressed in the opposite direction.

Seeing that there was still no response from the valley, the woman's expression became even more unpleasant, as if her dignity had been greatly challenged!

"Old man Feng! This is your own doing, and since it's like this, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The woman's angry voice fell, and then she took out a small hanging bag from her waist, which was a talisman bag.

Seeing this, the old man next to her quickly pulled her into his arms and kissed her on her angry face, laughing, "My dear, calm down, don't scare our Feng Yaoshi."

This scene left Yang Haoran dumbfounded, with an expression on his face that was truly priceless.
