Lonemoon was unsure if he was mistaken, but it seemed like the moment they entered the valley, something formless brushed past him. The feeling was very strange. It was like he had fallen into something. However, that feeling vanished as quickly as it came.

"Shen Ying..." He paused and turned to his two companions. It was obvious that they had noticed the same thing he did. "What was that?"

Shen Ying remained silent for a couple of seconds. "I don't know yet."

Lonemoon frowned even more deeply. He activated his divine perception to scan around the valley. Behind him, a familiar voice called out.

"Wait, Fellow Daoist Lonemoon..." Lu Lin rushed up to join them anxiously.

Lonemoon pursed his lips. He turned around and asked, "Is there something else, Fellow Daoist?" Is this a leather candy?

Lu Lin stopped in front of the three of them, looking worried. "Fellow Daoists, this Corroding Vacant Valley is very deep and wide. All of you are in grave danger. Fellow Daoists Lonemoon and Yi Qing are men too..." She looked at each of them with pity and tenderness in her eyes. "Why don't the three of you stick with my Dawning Pill Sect?" She pointed to more than ten other female cultivators dressed similarly as her, standing behind her. "We will protect you!"

"There's no need!" Lonemoon turned down her offer immediately. Busybody! He turned around and continued on his way.

Lu Lin became even more anxious. "But this is far too dangerous for the three of you to tackle alone. What's more, you don't have the map around this place..."

Map!

Lonemoon halted and turned back around. "You have a map of the Corroding Vacant Valley?"

Lu Lin stared blankly at him for a couple of seconds before she realized she had said too much. Nervously, she looked around. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll tell you the truth – it's not just our Dawning Pill Sect that has the map. The other sects also have a map of what this place looked like in the past. They're just unsure if they can be used."

"What it looked like in the past?" Lonemoon picked out the keywords she uttered.

"That's right!" Seeing that Lonemoon still did not understand her, Lu Lin continued, "Many years ago, the Corroding Vacant Valley did not look like this. It was said that it used to be a prosperous immortal mountain. It was rich in spirit Qi, and many sects wanted to set up base here. However, the Dark Night came and caused it to become like this overnight." Lu Lin looked around at all the cultivators from the various sects. After awhile, she said, "There are so many cultivators here, not only because everyone wants to know what exactly happened on that Dark Night, but more because everyone wants to find opportunities."

So that was what happened. Lonemoon had initially thought that the people from this little realm were filled with a sense of righteousness. Little did he know that everyone was here to pick up what had been left behind. This strange situation aside – the fact that there were so many sects interested in this valley meant that this was a mystic realm filled with good loot.

"Although many years have passed and this place might not look the same as it did before, having a map is still better than not having one." Lu Lin continued seriously, "So, Fellow Daoist Lonemoon, why don't you join us?"

Lonemoon lowered his gaze and changed his mind immediately. They were not in their own plane. They were managers, but their powers were limited. As opposed to activating their divine perceptions to try to make out what this place looked like, it was far better that they followed the lead of others. It just did not make any sense to turn her down.
