A group of seven students took the Flying Boat towards Corpse Yin Valley, where they encountered another team of students. Each of these two students was pulling a Dragon Tendon, on which were strung the heads of ghost cultivators, seemingly over five hundred of them, a fruitful battle indeed!

The two students were stained with large patches of blood, and their faces showed exhaustion. Clearly, although their battle results were impressive, they had endured great hardship and trials.

Fang Qiu called the two students onto the Golden Leaf Flying Boat. He explained the situation to them, and upon hearing that Princess Hua Shao was in trouble, their hearts were filled with anxiety.

...

"I didn't expect you to be a princess, no wonder you're so elegant, tsk tsk! A national beauty, a flower-like visage…" The Ghost King had captured Princess Hua Shao and imprisoned her after bringing her to the Corpse Yin Valley, personally overseeing her. In order to further confirm Princess Hua Shao's identity, the Ghost King couldn't help but try to coax words out of her.

Princess Hua Shao sneered coldly, "Hmph, you're a leader, shouldn't you know how to tell? Could you just call anyone a princess? Would a princess of the Empire venture into the Ghost Territory for danger?"

The Ghost King was stunned upon hearing this. It made sense. If she really were a princess of the Empire, why would she ever dare to enter the Ghost Territory?

Seeing the Ghost King's hesitation, Princess Hua Shao quickly added, "For example, as a leader of ghost cultivators, would you let your daughter take risks among the Human Clan?"

The Ghost King grew even more suspicious hearing this. Indeed, he wouldn't let his own children risk themselves among humans, so why would a king risk his own daughter's life?

The Ghost King's expression turned cold, "Are you really not the princess?!"

Princess Hua Shao said, "I'm just a student from Yueyang Academy; you're taking this way too seriously…"

"Then what's your relationship with Wang Xiaoqiang?"

"I… we are just classmates!"

The Ghost King's face showed frustration upon hearing this. Feeling deceived, he was filled with both shame and anger. With his head slightly lowered, he paced back and forth in the prison, his expression gloomy and quite frightening.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, lifted his head abruptly, and stared at Princess Hua Shao, his eyes exploding with a lustful gleam.

Then, step by step, he walked towards Princess Hua Shao, with a lecherous smile, said, "Since you're not a princess, I don't have to be so mindful of you. Wang Xiaoqiang bullied my daughter Little Mei, I'm going to settle the score with you…"

As the Ghost King said this, he grabbed the front of Princess Hua Shao's clothes, intending to rip them open, when Princess Hua Shao cried out, "I am a princess! I am Princess Hua Shao of the Yellow Dragon Empire…"

The Ghost King's hand paused, his eyes fixated on Princess Hua Shao.

Princess Hua Shao continued, "If you dare to touch me, my father will mobilize the entire army to crush you…"

The Ghost King smiled sinisterly, releasing Princess Hua Shao's clothing and said smugly, "Hmph, trying to play mind games with me, you're still too green. Don't worry, Your Highness; not only will I not touch you, but I'll also treat you well…"

Saying this, the Ghost King ordered someone to prepare food for Princess Hua Shao.

Princess Hua Shao looked pale, with an expression of desolation.

Just then, a ghost cultivator came in and reported, "My king, Wang Xiaoqiang and others have arrived at Corpse Yin Valley and are preparing to break our Valley Protection Formation…"

"Just in time!" The Ghost King turned sharply and strode out of the prison.

Outside Corpse Yin Valley, a loud rumble could be heard as the Golden Leaf Flying Boat repeatedly struck the Valley Protection Formation. The entire Corpse Yin Valley trembled.

The Valley Protection Formation was vast and majestic, like a giant glass dome covering the entire Corpse Yin Valley. Corpse Qi enveloped the formation, and ghost talismans flashed in and out of existence.

Every time the Golden Leaf Flying Boat struck the formation, Corpse Qi quickly gathered at the point of impact to resist it.

It was unclear whether it was due to the Corpse Qi or that the Protective Sect Array was inherently solid, but after three strikes, there was no sign of cracking, much less collapsing.

Seeing this, Fang Qiu retreated the Golden Leaf Flying Boat and shouted, "Release the Power of Dao!"

Wang Xiaoqiang responded first, releasing the Path of Courage. The word "Courage" floated out from his body, immediately drawing the attention of all the students. In just one week, Wang Xiaoqiang's Path of Courage had grown significantly larger, and intriguingly, there was a flash of lightning embedded within the word "Courage," adding an element of heroism to it.

However, there was no time for amazement now. After briefly fixating on the "Courage" word, the students collected themselves, each releasing their Power of Dao.

"Combine the Power of Dao, break the formation together!" Fang Qiu shouted the command.

The students, having once broken a formation together, coordinated seamlessly as the Power of Dao was released and immediately stacked together,

Wang Xiaoqiang urged his "Courage" word, leading the charge,

The other students quickly followed suit,

Fang Qiu's "Courtesy" word followed closely after,

Then came Yuee Buhui's "Respect" word, following behind Courtesy's,

Su Li's "Benevolence" word, right behind Yuee Buhui's Respect word,

Then was Luoo Youshan's "Goodness" word,

Next came a male student's "Tolerance" word…

Like this, nine "Power of Dao" characters stacked one after the other, forming a chain of power that gleamed with golden light, like a golden dragon, crashing towards the Valley Protection Formation.

Boom!!

With a loud crash, Wang Xiaoqiang's Courage word hit the formation. The lightning within the Courage word exploded, breaking through the Corpse Qi on the formation, then the Courage word struck the formation, creating cracks in the Valley Protection Formation.

At that moment, the ghost talismans quickly converged on the formation, flashing simultaneously and unleashing a powerful force that pushed the Courage word away.

At that moment…

A shadow flickered, and the Ghost King suddenly appeared at the crevice of the Valley Protection Formation. He swiftly bit his tongue and spat Essence Blood onto the crevice, the blood seeped into the cracks, solidifying quickly and repairing the crevice…

Just as the "Courage" word was repelled by the ghost talisman, the "Courtesy" word propelled the Courage word, slamming into the crevice again, causing the just-repaired formation wall to crack open once more.

Immediately…

The "Respect" word surged forward, pushing the Courage and Courtesy words, crashing once more into the cracked area of the Valley Protection Formation…

Boom!!

With the sound of a massive crack, enormous fractures appeared in the formation wall.

The Ghost King was shocked, biting his tongue again to spray Essence Blood onto the fracture. As the blood hit the fracture, Su Li's "Benevolence" word surged forward, propelling the three preceding words, crashing violently…

With a loud bang, the cracks on the Valley Protection Formation expanded once more, becoming long enough that they looked as though a finger could fit through. (To be continued.
