Urban Wolf King

After Wang Yan's careful guidance and countless battles, Ma Jun was now a changed person.

Not only had his cultivation reached the Realm of One Flower within the Three Flowers Crown, but he also retained his former bravery, now complemented by wisdom and strategy.

In battles against the Nether Realm army, although Ma Jun encountered many powerful Asuras alone, he always managed to win through ingenious tactics.

It was the first time Ma Jun was this heavily injured and embarrassed.

Seeing Ma Jun wounded, Wang Yan quickly flicked his hand, releasing a surge of Divine Power that gently lifted Ma Jun. As the Divine Power penetrated Ma Jun's body, it continually repaired his internal injuries.

Once Ma Jun was lifted off the ground and placed slowly on a chair, most of his internal injuries had healed, and although his external injuries weren't completely healed, they were no longer a concern.

At that moment, Ma Jun regained a bit of strength and immediately said to Wang Yan, "Boss, I ran into big trouble this time."

Wang Yan nodded, calmly comforting him, "Don't rush, speak slowly."

Seeing Wang Yan's composed demeanor, Ma Jun calmed down and slowly began to speak, "Here's how it went: I led a million troops northward, experiencing countless battles along the way, achieving dozens of victories, finally purging all the evil ghosts in the Celestial Dynasty's north."

Though Ma Jun spoke simply, everyone understood that these dozens of victories were hard-won, earned through the bloodshed of the million brothers led by Ma Jun.

Then, Ma Jun continued, "Later, our army reached the Far East region, where evil ghosts were rare. However, I received intelligence that there is a valley in the Far East of Russia called Kamchatka Peninsula's Valley of the Dead, constantly shrouded in Yin Qi. The valley is quite small, so I didn't think much of it and took ten thousand brothers there, never expecting to encounter something terrifying."

"Could it be a master of Harmonious Four Symbols?"

"Or a massive army of evil ghosts?"

People around immediately asked.

Ma Jun smiled bitterly and said, "No master of Harmonious Four Symbols, no army of evil ghosts; in fact, there was nothing in the valley."

Hearing Ma Jun's words, everyone was puzzled. If he weren't a close brother, they might have thought the person in front of them was crazy.

Only Wang Yan's once calm face showed a trace of seriousness.

At this moment, Ma Jun took a deep breath and continued, "I found no evil ghosts or Asuras in the Valley of the Dead, and the valley was merely empty. Just as I was about to leave, the terrifying thing happened—there were suddenly ten thousand men standing at the valley entrance."

"Only ten thousand men? Do their cultivation levels far exceed yours?" Wu Zu Li couldn't help but ask.

Ma Jun shook his head and said, "Not higher, nor lower; they were exactly the same as us or, rather, these ten thousand men were our exact copies."

Upon hearing this, everyone became even more confused, only Wang Yan furrowed his brows and said solemnly, "You encountered yourselves in the Valley of the Dead."

After Wang Yan spoke, Wu Zu Li and others were shocked, showing disbelief.

Ma Jun nodded, displaying a hint of horror on his face, and said, "Exactly, it was as if I was fighting myself, and the person opposing me mirrored me in cultivation, appearance, even thoughts, and they couldn't be killed. Ten thousand brothers died in battle; if I hadn't escaped the valley entrance and been rescued by the million brothers outside, I wouldn't be alive today."

Hearing Ma Jun's words, everyone felt a chill down their spine.

Fighting another version of oneself, no matter how one strategizes or acts, the opponent knows it all; this feeling was truly terrifying.

All of a sudden, the entire hall fell silent.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, all eyes turned to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan nodded and said, "This place seems significant; I'll head to the Valley of the Dead myself. I fear it may be the site of the final battlefield on Earth."

Three days later.

Far East region.

Dozens followed Wang Yan, gazing into the distance.

A hundred miles behind Wang Yan, a million troops were stationed.

Wang Yan forbade the army from following due to concerns that if the million troops were all cloned, the chaos would be uncontrollable.

Thus, only a few dozen followed Wang Yan.

In front of Wang Yan was a barren wasteland, a few miles away lay a valley shrouded in darkness.

Ma Jun pointed to that valley and said, "Big Brother, that's the Valley of the Dead."

Wang Yan lifted his eyes to look at the Valley of the Dead; it was covered in Yin Qi, indeed lifeless and dreary.

Yet within this lifelessness, there seemed no sign of any Evil Ghost Asura's presence.

As Wang Yan observed the Valley of the Dead, several cars came racing from the distance, heading towards them.

When the cars stopped a mile away from Wang Yan, a dozen men in suits got out, standing respectfully.

These were just ordinary people, however.

Among the crowd, a strong man approached, Ma Jun quickly went to greet him. The man spoke respectfully to Ma Jun, who nodded and returned to Wang Yan's side, reporting, "Big Brother, that man is the leader of Russia, Emperor of Bujing, he has come to see you and to report about the Valley of the Dead."

Wang Yan nodded slightly, Ma Jun turned back and signaled to the distant figure.

Seeing Ma Jun's signal, the strong middle-aged man excitedly jogged to Wang Yan's presence, first bowing deeply, then respectfully addressing Wang Yan, "Greetings, esteemed Great Commander."

Though the Emperor of Bujing wielded significant power in the mortal world, he was merely an ordinary person in Wang Yan's eyes.

Wang Yan spoke casually, "What situation do you want to report to me?"

Hearing Wang Yan speak to him personally, Emperor of Bujing was even more excited, immediately composing himself and saying, "I want to report the matter of the Double Fish Jade Pendant?"

The 'Double Fish Jade Pendant' incident was a well-known supernatural event widely spread among mortals, unknown to the Demon Cultivators, so everyone listened intently.

Emperor of Bujing said, "Four years ago, an expedition found an antique Double Fish Jade Pendant somewhere and brought it to a laboratory for study. During the study, the Double Fish Jade Pendant suddenly emitted light, then another identical pendant appeared. Furthermore, everyone involved in the experiment was cloned. The clones and originals inexplicably hated each other, wanting to kill the other to survive. The whole laboratory turned into chaos."

After pausing, Emperor of Bujing continued, "But that was not the end; the power of the Double Fish Jade Pendant grew, everyone around the laboratory got cloned, from a village, to a town, to a city, all had identical pairs, plunging everywhere into bloody chaos."

Hearing this, Wu Zu Li beside him asked, "What happened afterward? Did Demon Cultivators intervene?"

Emperor of Bujing shook his head, "I didn't know Demon Cultivators existed then; with no choice, we conducted a nuclear explosion, designating this as a restricted area, since then, no more supernatural events were found."

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Without your quick decision, chaos might have spread worldwide back then."

Then, Wang Yan hesitated slightly, looking towards the Valley of the Dead and said, "This must be the site of that old laboratory, right?"

Emperor of Bujing nodded.

Wang Yan couldn't help but smile wryly, saying, "If I'm correct, the Double Fish Jade Pendant should be a powerful Magical Treasure, and now, we are within its realm of Magical Power."
