Chapter 377 Are you sure you want to cooperate with me?
Bai Ling smiled slightly, "I know it's hard for you to believe me, but I can prove my sincerity."
She took out a jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Chu Tian.
"This is..." Chu Tian looked at the jade pendant in confusion.
"This is a token from the Nether Valley." Bai Ling said, "If you believe in me, take this jade pendant and go to the Nether Valley to find me."
Chu Tian looked at the jade pendant in his hand, his heart full of hesitation.
He didn't know whether he should trust this woman.
However, he knew that if he wanted revenge, he had to rely on her power.
He took a deep breath and finally nodded.
"Okay, I promise to cooperate with you."
Chu Tian's fingers stroked the smooth surface of the jade pendant. The cool touch made his chaotic thoughts a little clearer. He had heard of the Nether Valley. It was a mysterious sect in the martial arts world. It was said that everyone in the valley was highly skilled in martial arts and acted in a secretive manner. Bai Ling was from the Nether Valley? Then what was her purpose in approaching him?
"Are you sure you want to cooperate with me?" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze seemed to pierce through Bai Ling's veil, "You should know that I am tracking down the murderer who killed my entire family. This is not a joke."
Bai Ling met his gaze fearlessly, with a faint smile still on her lips, "I know. Moreover, I believe that our goals are the same."
Chu Tian sneered in his heart. The same goal? It was easy to say. He didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world. However, he really needed help at the moment, and this jade pendant might be his only clue.
"Where is the Netherworld Valley?" Chu Tian put the jade pendant in his arms, his tone still cold.
Bai Ling chuckled, "Don't worry, I will take you there."
In the next few days, Chu Tian followed Bai Ling all the way west. Along the way, Chu Tian remained vigilant. He didn't know whether Bai Ling was an enemy or a friend, and he didn't dare to trust her easily. Bai Ling seemed to have noticed Chu Tian's vigilance. She didn't explain too much, but just led the way silently.
There was almost no communication between the two, and the atmosphere was strange and depressing. Chu Tian wanted to get rid of Bai Ling and act alone more than once, but he finally held back. He knew that he needed Bai Ling's help now, at least, she knew the location of the Nether Valley.
Along the way, they slept in the open and experienced countless hardships. Chu Tian gradually discovered that Bai Ling's martial arts were surprisingly strong. She was able to resolve the dangers several times. Moreover, Bai Ling seemed to know the whereabouts of the men in black very well, and could accurately find their clues every time.
This made Chu Tian even more confused. Who exactly was Bai Ling? Why did she know so much about the man in black? What was her real purpose in approaching him?
On a dark and windy night, they finally arrived at the Nether Valley.
The Nether Valley is located in the mountains, and the entrance of the valley is shrouded in thick miasma, which makes people afraid to enter.
"We're here." Bai Ling said, pointing ahead.
Chu Tian looked at the eerie and terrifying canyon in front of him, and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.
"Are you sure this is the Nether Valley?" Chu Tian asked.
Bai Ling nodded, "Yes, follow me."
Bai Ling led Chu Tian through the miasma and into the valley. The scenery in the valley was dark, with strange trees and rocks everywhere, and a strange atmosphere in the air.
Chu Tian became more alert. He held the sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
After walking for a while, they came to an ancient palace. The palace door was closed and carved with various strange patterns, which made people feel depressed.
Bai Ling walked to the gate, took out a token from her arms and placed it on the gate.
There was a harsh friction sound and the door slowly opened.
Chu Tian followed Bai Ling into the palace. The light inside the palace was dim and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
"Where is this place?" Chu Tian asked.
"The forbidden area of Nether Valley." Bai Ling said calmly, "It is also the key to your revenge."
Chu Tian's heart was shocked. He vaguely felt that he was about to uncover a shocking secret.
Bai Ling brought Chu Tian to a secret room deep in the palace.
"Go in." Bai Ling said, "Your enemy is inside."
Chu Tian took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the secret room.
In the secret room, a man in black was tied to a pillar. He had a mask on his face, so his true appearance could not be seen.
"Who are you?" Chu Tian asked.
The man in black didn't say anything, just looked at Chu Tian coldly.
"Why did you kill my whole family?" Chu Tian continued to ask.
The man in black still didn't speak.
Chu Tian was furious. He drew his sword and pointed it at the man in black. "You won't tell me? Then go to hell!"
At this moment, Bai Ling suddenly took action and stopped Chu Tian.
"Wait!" said Bai Ling, "He can't die."
"Why?" Chu Tian asked puzzledly.
Bai Ling walked up to the man in black and took off his mask.
Chu Tian's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
"Father?!"
The person standing in front of him was actually his father!
"This...how is this possible?" Chu Tian was stunned.
Bai Ling sneered, "Nothing is impossible. Your so-called enemy is actually your biological father."
"You're talking nonsense!" Chu Tian roared, "My father died a long time ago!"
Bai Ling shook her head. "No, he's still alive. He disguised himself as the Man in Black to protect you."
"Protect me?" Chu Tian was even more confused.
"That's right." Bai Ling said, "Your father is the master of the Nether Valley. He has been protecting you in secret and preventing you from getting involved in disputes."
"This..." Chu Tian couldn't accept this fact for a moment.
Bai Ling continued, "Back then, your family was wiped out by your enemies. In order to protect you, your father had to change his name and join the Men in Black. He has been secretly investigating the whereabouts of his enemies, wanting to avenge you."
"But...but why did he want to kill my whole family?" Chu Tian asked.
Bai Ling sighed, "That's because he had to do it. Your enemies are powerful, and in order to protect you, he had no choice but to sacrifice your family to confuse the enemy."
Chu Tian was stunned. He didn't know what to say.
Bai Ling walked up to Chu Tian and patted him on the shoulder. "I know it's hard for you to accept this fact, but this is the truth."
"I..." Chu Tian opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the door of the secret room was suddenly opened, and a group of men in black rushed in and surrounded Chu Tian and Bai Ling.
"Who are you?" Chu Tian asked vigilantly.
The leading black-clad man sneered, "Traitor of Nether Valley, prepare to die!"
