Outside the valley, Chen Tiangang and his companion were gathered together, their gazes fixed on the valley depths.
As it turned out, they had known Fang Yue's whereabouts all along. They were lying in wait, ready to swarm him, kill him, and seize his prize the moment he picked the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng.
And the ones who had sold Fang Yue's location were, of course, the Hundred Knows Pavilion.
For the right price, they would sell anything.
Meanwhile, Fang Yue was fully focused on resisting the peculiar suction from the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng.
He discovered that the harder he struggled, the stronger the pull seemed to grow.
It was like an invisible vortex threatening to devour him whole.
In the next instant, the ground beneath his feet shattered and collapsed.
The sudden collapse sent him off balance, plunging him into a dark abyss.
