Ping Xingyang, however, was straightforward and said:

"Yunchong, you stay outside the array, remember, do not enter the valley without my command, understand?"

"Hmm, got it."

Ping Yunchong replied sulkily.

Ping Xingyang took out a Token from his bosom, infused a Technique into it, and a ray of white light entered the Mao Mountain Stone, white mist rose, and a narrow winding path appeared.

As Ping Xingyang changed the Technique.

The narrow winding path instantly transformed into a staircase leading straight up to the cliff top hundreds of feet above.

The canyon above the cliff was the lair of the Golden-eyed Ape.

Ping Xingyang maneuvered the Enchanting Immortal Bell over the staircase, landing in front of the canyon on the cliff top. After standing for a while, a Golden-eyed Ape sprang out of the canyon, squeaking at Ping Xingyang a few times.

Ping Xingyang waved his sleeve.

In an instant, a bone seal made from the finger bone of the Golden-eyed Ape King floated in mid-air. Seeing this item, the Golden-eyed Ape then led Ping Xingyang towards the canyon, squeaking.

Upon reaching the canyon entrance.

Ping Xingyang stopped and didn't go any further.

He had visited this canyon once thirty years ago, and in his impression, the entire canyon thrived with the Ping Family's Round Fragrant Horn supplying it, with the Golden-eyed Apes multiplying rapidly. Hundreds of years had passed, and there were now nearly a thousand of them, so each time he came, it was always bustling with noises.

Today, however, it was unusually quiet:

"Go back and tell your king that I have urgent matters today and will not enter the canyon. You can just bring out the Spiritual Ape Wine for the exchange."

Ping Xingyang's pronunciation was extremely peculiar.

An ordinary person would surely not understand, but the Golden-eyed Ape scratched its head as if it understood, then hopped into the canyon.

After a while.

It could be seen carrying a barrel of Spiritual Ape Wine out.

As it walked.

An extremely rich aroma of wine wafted from the wine barrel.

Ping Xingyang twitched his nose, sniffed a little, confirming it was indeed Spiritual Ape Wine. When the Golden-eyed Ape placed it in front of him, he launched a Technique, opening the wine barrel lid.

Inside, the thick emerald green Spiritual Ape Wine came into view.

To be safe.

Ping Xingyang flicked his forefinger, letting a drop of Spiritual Ape Wine enter his mouth, carefully sensing it, confirming it was undoubtedly genuine Spiritual Ape Wine, then heaved a sigh of relief.

With a pat of the storage bag.

In an instant, Round Fragrant Horns fluttered to the ground, rapidly piling up as high as a small mountain.

At the same time.

He patted another storage bag, and an overwhelming stench of blood gushed out. Soon, heaps of what appeared to be recently deceased Mortal bodies piled up higher than the Round Fragrant Horns. A rough count indicated at least tens of thousands.

The transaction completed.

Ping Xingyang bowed slightly towards the canyon, beckoned his hand, taking the Spiritual Ape Wine into his possession. This canyon was unusually eerie, so naturally, he did not wish to linger.

As he was turning away.

All of a sudden.

Rip!

A skeletal claw shot from the ground with lightning speed towards his Dantian.

Ding!

At the critical moment.

A blue light shield blocked the White Bone's claw attack.

It was because Ping Xingyang sensed something was amiss with the canyon's atmosphere that he immediately quietly activated the blue light shield.

Simultaneously.

With incredible speed, he pointed at the Enchanting Immortal Bell.

Buzz!

Wave upon wave of sound waves instantly rippled towards the ground.

"Roar!"

From underground.

A Golden-eyed Ape King exuding a decaying aura burst out, its large copper gong-sized eyes rapidly flickering, instantly shooting two beams of golden light, as fast as lightning, piercing through the blue light shield, their momentum unabated, straight towards Ping Xingyang's forehead.

"Boom!"

At the critical moment.

Ping Xingyang's Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, the Enchanting Immortal Bell, collided with the two beams of golden light:

"Courting death!"

Looking at the Golden-eyed Ape King, now like a corpse daemon, Ping Xingyang finally understood why the valley was so quiet. Apparently, the Golden-eyed Ape King, nearing its life limit and unable to break through, devoured all of its offspring to survive.

Clearly, the other party sensed the injuries on him.

Thus, it launched a surprise attack.

Failing in its strike.

With a swoosh.

It dove back underground.

Ping Xingyang was enraged. Since the Golden-eyed Apes were already all dead, there was no longer any Spiritual Ape Wine to be made in the future. There was no need for this Golden-eyed Ape King to exist; it was better to kill it and retrieve the core.

He immediately flipped his right hand.

A Tier Two Top-Grade Earthquake Talisman appeared in his hand.

Mouthing a spell quickly.

With a swift wave of the Sword Point.

The Earthquake Talisman instantly floated to the ground, a terrifying power brewing within it, accompanied by Ping Xingyang's cold snort: "Explode!"

Rumble!

In an instant.

The ground cracked open.

Ravines crisscrossed and emerged.

From underground.

The Golden-eyed Ape King's eyes suddenly shone with golden light, forming a light shield to protect it. At this moment, it raised its eyes to Ping Xingyang with a look of sinister success:

"At death's door and yet...."

Just as Ping Xingyang was about to activate the Enchanting Immortal Bell for one last wave of attack, he abruptly discovered that his Qi Blood reversed within his body: "What's going on?!"

In an instant.

Ping Xingyang suddenly thought of that barrel of Spiritual Ape Wine!

It must be the Golden-eyed Ape King that poisoned the wine. At this moment, he couldn't mobilize even a bit of True Essence, and the Qi Blood surged violently like galloping horses within his body.

In the blink of an eye.

Bam bam bam!

Sparks of blood erupted from all over his body!

....

Waiting outside the array, Ping Yunchong hesitated after hearing the intense sounds of battle from inside, ultimately unable to stop worrying about his second uncle.

His second uncle had no children.

So.

Since childhood, he was treated like a biological son.

His father was already gone.

He couldn't let his second uncle also meet with misfortune.

He quickly slapped a Flying Escape Talisman on himself, darting inside at breakneck speed.

.....

At Thousand Cliff Mountain, the tremor caused by the Earthquake Talisman spread directly to the Mao Mountain Stone where Fu Changsheng stood: "What is going on?!"
