Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, the initially empty corner of the Valley of the Dead immediately rang with a maniacal laugh: "Hahaha, indeed the person who defeated the Nether Realm's army could discover my hiding place."
With these words, a gaunt man with greying hair, sunken eyes, and no pupils slowly revealed himself.
Upon seeing this elder, especially sensing the grave aura surrounding him, Wang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly said, "You are Xu Wuzi!"
The elder glanced at Wang Yan and coldly said, "Your cultivation is remarkable and you are exceptionally wise. Lucky for me that I encountered you now, or in a little while I wouldn't be able to contain you."
It turns out this elder was indeed the commander of the Nether Realm's army that attacked the Human world, the Four Symbols Peak powerhouse — Xu Wuzi.
Looking at Xu Wuzi before him, Wang Yan secretly thought to himself that this was trouble.
Earlier when Ma Jun was in the Valley of the Dead, Wang Yan had already noticed the faint but formidable aura lurking in the corner of the valley. Had Wang Yan not already reached the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, he wouldn't have detected it either.
Thus, Wang Yan moved Ma Jun away and used words to provoke, never imagining someone was indeed hiding in the corner, and it was Xu Wuzi at the Four Symbols Peak.
It seems probable that this Valley of the Dead is Xu Wuzi's Magical Treasure.
It appears Xu Wuzi has gone to great lengths to lure Wang Yan here.
Wang Yan clearly understood that facing the Four Symbols Peak, he stood no chance of victory and needed to find a way to escape.
While thoughts raced through his mind, Wang Yan maintained a calm demeanor outwardly, lightly saying to Xu Wuzi, "I never thought that while the Nether Realm's army was wiped out, you as the leader would hide in the valley and refuse to come out. Are you thinking of surrendering?"
Although Wang Yan wished to provoke Xu Wuzi into anger, hoping to find a chance to escape, Xu Wuzi remained completely unperturbed, simply saying, "You have no idea of the terrifying power of the Nether Realm, nor the might of King Yama, or else you wouldn't say such things."
"Is King Yama truly powerful? What is his cultivation level?" Wang Yan pressed on.
But Xu Wuzi no longer responded, shaking his head instead and saying, "There's no need for you to ask; soon enough, you'll be going to Hell and see him personally. Oh, rather accurately speaking, your doppelgänger will enter Hell."
After saying this, Xu Wuzi began to step towards Wang Yan.
Seeing this, Wang Yan's anxiety grew; Xu Wuzi was indeed too cunning, giving him no opportunity to make an escape.
As Xu Wuzi drew closer, Wang Yan refused to simply await his doom, immediately letting out a long shout as Black Tortoise appeared instantly, blocking in front of him.
With Black Tortoise's appearance, Wang Yan quickly retreated, only to see White Tiger roar as it charged towards Xu Wuzi.
With the emergence of Double Elephant, Wang Yan's aura reached its zenith, causing the entire valley to tremble.
However, Wang Yan knew that merely this would be insufficient to hinder Xu Wuzi.
Therefore, Wang Yan shook his shoulders, and purple butterfly wings appeared behind him, closing over towards Xu Wuzi.
Next, Wang Yan pointed his finger, and the Chaos Bell hummed into existence above Xu Wuzi's head, moving down to cover him.
After completing these actions, Wang Yan's heart found some slight calm, immediately turning to leave.
But as soon as Wang Yan turned around, he heard Xu Wuzi's indifferent voice from behind: "Is that all your tricks?"
Upon hearing Xu Wuzi's ice-cold voice, Wang Yan's expression trembled, feeling as though the air around him had frozen, his body trapped in ice, unable to move a step.
In shock, Wang Yan forced himself to turn his head towards his back.
One look caused Wang Yan's expression to change drastically as he saw his Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Chaos Bell, and purple wings all suspended in the air, as if frozen.
Looking further away, he saw around Xu Wuzi's body, Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Four Symbols positioned in the four cardinal directions, slowly rotating.
It was precisely the Power of the Four Symbols that prevented Wang Yan from advancing.
"So this is the true power of the Four Symbols Peak."
Wang Yan's heart sank to the depths, realizing that once the Four Symbols gather, the power doubles, undeniably superior to Double Elephant.
At this moment, Xu Wuzi arrived before Wang Yan, with a slight smile, saying, "Your strength is indeed commendable, defeating my Nether Realm's army shows some intellect. But do you really think my army's annihilation was solely due to your ability? Hehe, I deliberately let you win, knowing you'd eventually come here. Once I've copied you, I'll command you to lead the Human Race into death, hahaha—then I'd triumph without a fight."
Upon hearing Xu Wuzi's words, Wang Yan's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and the worries harbored within him for three years finally found confirmation.
For three years, the war power of the Nether Realm's army grew weaker, now explained most rationally as all being Xu Wuzi's deliberate doing.
Indeed, Xu Wuzi had plotted for a long time to copy another Wang Yan as a puppet for the Nether Realm.
The higher Wang Yan's prestige in the Human Realm, the easier it would be for Xu Wuzi to dominate the Human Realm.
All of Wang Yan's years of prestige in the Human World had become a gown for Xu Wuzi.
Xu Wuzi meticulously arranged this scheme over several years; now, Wang Yan was stuck, with no apparent chance of escape.
Facing such imminent danger, Wang Yan's mind rapidly shifted, seeking possibilities to reverse the situation, yet in the presence of a mighty Four Symbols Peak, it seemed utterly impossible.
In desperation, Wang Yan could only speak, "Even if you copy me, it won't matter; my brothers will surely find the doppelgänger fake."
Xu Wuzi coldly replied, "That's not your concern; the doppelgänger will be exactly identical to you, without any differences."
Upon hearing this, the already desperate Wang Yan suddenly had a glimmer flash in his eyes.
At that moment, Xu Wuzi waved his right hand, causing Wang Yan's body to uncontrollably fly backward, landing precisely in the valley at the twin fish position.
As Wang Yan fell, the entire Valley of the Dead slightly shook, followed by sweeping winds and rising dust; afterward, a person appeared opposite Wang Yan.
This individual's face was cold, his eyes deep, precisely another Wang Yan.
This was Xu Wuzi utilizing the Twin Fish Treasure to copy Wang Yan's doppelgänger.
Seeing his doppelgänger appear, and being so similar to himself, a hint of despair shone in Wang Yan's eyes.
Xu Wuzi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now that there is a doppelgänger, you are useless."
As he spoke, Xu Wuzi pointed his finger, and a powerful Divine Power shot out, striking towards Wang Yan.
