The End Times as a Song

Chapter 271 Valley of No Return

"Ah Yan...! Listen to me, let's go back to Qingqiu!" Huan Ruge urged Tu Shan Yan for the third time, her voice filled with urgency and worry.

However, Tu Shanyan remained standing there, looking dejected, his gaze firm and unwavering.

“Sister…! Why don’t we wait until Brother Yan has finished handling Mother Ran’s funeral arrangements before returning to Qingqiu?” Xiong Xi suddenly spoke up, trying to ease the tension and offering a compromise suggestion.

Hearing Xiong Xi's words, Tu Shan Yan seemed to find a glimmer of hope. He quickly echoed, "That's right, Huan Huan, Xiong Xi is right. Let me do something for you! This is the only thing I can do for you."

His tone revealed boundless sincerity and perseverance, and his eyes shone with genuine light.

Huan Rugo gazed quietly at Tu Shanyan, a ripple of emotion stirring within her. She understood Tu Shanyan's feelings, but at the same time, she worried that he might be put in unnecessary danger because of it.

Finally, Huan Rugo sighed, nodded helplessly, and said, "Whatever you say!"

After saying that, she turned around and slowly walked into the inner room.

Tu Shanyan watched Huan Rugo's departing figure, a complex emotion welling up inside him. He silently followed Huan Rugo into the inner room.

In the days that followed, Tu Shanyan devoted himself to helping Huan Ruge with the funeral arrangements for Ran's mother. Together, they cleaned the house, prepared offerings, and made arrangements for the funeral.

The Valley of No Return is a mysterious and dangerous place, hiding countless secrets and unknown powers.

"Reporting to Master, a man and a woman have come outside...!" A guard rushed over and reported to Jun Gui.

"Who goes there...?" Jun Gui frowned, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

"Your subordinate does not know...! The man has a full head of silver hair and wears a light red gauze dress. The woman has a snowflake mark on her forehead and wears a white gauze dress." The guard answered truthfully.

"A full head of silver hair...! Oh no, go out and greet them immediately." The Valley Master's expression changed, and he hurriedly stood up, leading several subordinates to rush to the entrance of the Valley of No Return.

When they arrived at the door, they indeed saw the two figures. The man had a full head of silver hair and wore a light red gauze dress that fluttered in the wind; the woman had a snowflake mark on her forehead and wore a white gauze dress, looking like a fairy descended from heaven.

"Falcon Returns is late in welcoming you, Falcon Returns deserves to die!" Falcon Returns looked terrified, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He immediately stepped forward and knelt down to greet Lin Yin.

"Get up!" Lin Yin slowly turned around, looking expressionlessly at Jun Gui kneeling on the ground, and said in a calm tone. His voice was calm and indifferent, but contained an irresistible authority.

"Thank you, Master, for sparing my life!" Jun Gui was moved to tears and quickly stood up, respectfully standing aside.

"Master, is there any instruction you have for us to come to the Valley of No Return?" Jun Gui asked cautiously, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

“I dare not give orders…! Have you completed the task I assigned you before?” Lin Yin’s eyes were like torches as he stared intently at Jun Gui.

"This...! What is Master referring to?" Jun Gui's heart tightened, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again, and he answered tremblingly.

“Fangcao Village…!” Lin Yin’s voice was deep and powerful, carrying a hint of barely perceptible anger.

"What happened in Fangcao Village?" Jun Gui's expression changed, and he asked hurriedly.

"The whole village was slaughtered, why didn't you report it?" Lin Yin's eyes sharpened, and his tone became stern.

"It's not that I didn't report it, the whole village was massacred, and I really didn't know...!" Jun Gui lowered his head in fear.

Lin Yin sneered, cast a spell to pull Jun Gui towards him, and grabbed Jun Gui's throat: "You, Jun Gui, since you dare to lie...?"
