Chapter 777, the Gao family fire
"Oh no! The second elder's secret room is on fire, hurry up and put out the fire!" When Gao Shoucheng's secret room caught fire, a Gao family's patrol monk found out and immediately shouted for help, and then a fire burst into the sky, and the fire quickly spread, and began to set fire to other buildings in Gao Shoucheng's courtyard.
"Quick, quick, cast a water spell! You two fools, you know how to scream, don't you know that water can extinguish fire?"
Not long after the call sounded, a deacon monk of the Gao family arrived at the scene, and scolded the dozens of patrolling monks who were helpless in the face of the fire. Now that the fire is already so big, don't you know how to directly cast a spell to put out the fire just now? Just knowing the call, we are monks, although we can't call the wind and rain to summon rain clouds anytime and anywhere, but ordinary waterspouts and other middle and high-level water spells will always be cast!
"Lord Deacon, just now we were casting a spell to put out the fire and calling for help, but this fire is very strange, our water spell not only can't suppress the fire, but it also seems to be pouring oil on the fire, once the spell enters the fire, the fire will be even more violent! It will further expand the range of fire along the waterspout!" A patrolling monk wept and mourned, his hair burned most of his hair, his eyebrows and beard burned clean, and his whole body was black.
"What! there's such a strange thing!!," said the deacon, incredulous, and then stepped forward to cast a spell.
Then, he also withdrew in disgrace, but fortunately, he was mentally prepared, so when he found that the fire had actually spread along the water dragon technique he had cast, he hurriedly put away the spell and teleported backwards and fled.
"Hurry up and tell the head of the house or the great elder, and ask them to send someone to support as soon as possible!" The deacon was still relatively capable, and while he ordered someone to go and inform the head of the house, he began to remedy: "Hurry up and cast an earth-based spell to form a barrier around the burning area!"
As monks, these cultivators were at least the guards of the high family in the infancy of the spirit, and of course they understood what the deacons meant. Suddenly, dozens of earth-splitting spells were cast at the same time, and the ground where the spells passed was deeply sunken, forming an irregular firebreak with a depth of a few zhang and at least half a zhang wide around the fire area. The fire was contained in the compound where the secret chamber of Gao Shoucheng was located.
"Gao Yi, you did a good job, did you see the second elder?" At this moment, Gao Yufan, the head of the Gao family, came to the scene, and when he saw that the fire had been controlled within a certain range, he opened his mouth to praise.
"The head of the family has a good reputation, these are all Gao Yi's duties!" Although the deacon monk named Gao Yi was overjoyed because of the praise of the family master, he did not show it steadily: "As for the second elder, the little one didn't see it. However, the second elder has the cultivation realm of the middle stage of distraction, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw that Gao Yufan's face was extremely ugly, staring at the large flames not far away with a panicked expression, and then he pulled himself back quickly.
After standing still for a while, Gao Yi suddenly found that the fire that had been controlled had expanded silently again, and it had expanded several times, and the entire courtyard where Gao Shoucheng lived had been completely engulfed by the fire, and the irregular firebreak outside the courtyard wall was also filled with a large area of flames, and there was no trace of it.
Not only that, but the raging flames were like a huge octopus, stretching out flame tentacles in all directions, and constantly spreading forward. And the hundreds of monks of the Gao family who were still with him just now did not see a single person, and it was estimated that they were all swallowed up the moment the fire suddenly broke out.
"Gather all the Taoist friends in the mansion, and you must control the fire even if you don't remember all the costs!" Gao Yufan, the head of the Gao family, ordered to the monks of the Gao family who came from all over to put out the fire: "There is something wrong with this flame!
As a result, all kinds of spells and magic weapons of different forms were cast one by one.
As long as it is conducive to extinguishing the fire, all attacks are used. For a while, all kinds of attribute spell energy that could be used to suppress the spread of fire rained down on the burning area.
But the effect was very small, and most of the spells seemed to have no effect, but instead played a buff effect, and the fire was even more monstrous.
"Retreat!"
Gao Yufan tried to sacrifice a Yuanqi-level ice sword and flew into the fire to extinguish the fire, but as soon as he entered the edge of the flame, he found that the connection between him and the Yuanqi was interrupted, and it was obvious that the ice sword was burned by this strange fire, and it seemed that it was difficult to extinguish, so he could only block it as much as possible.
The monks of the Gao family, who had long known that this flame was powerful, immediately dispersed and fled far away.
"Continue to build a fire barrier!" After staying away from the flames for some distance, Gao Yufan stopped again, estimated the spread speed of the flames, and then ordered the Gao family monks to continue the fire prevention.
This time, instead of taking the situation of a fire ditch, the monks of the Gao family used the earth-based spell "Gathering Wall Technique", and an earthen wall that was several feet high was piled up. Next, another water dragon lay straight on the earthen wall, and then the spell dispersed in an instant, and the dry earthen wall was completely wet.
"Ice Storm!" Gao Yufan, the head of the Gao family, ordered loudly.
A distraction monk who had already recited the forbidden spell for a long time had finished the last incantation.
Suddenly, layers of dense dark clouds appeared in the sky above the Gao family, which was illuminated by the firelight almost daylight, and then a hail the size of a human head fell from above, just covering the area enclosed by the earthen wall.
The flames that soared into the sky were immediately a few points shorter under the blow of such dense ice. It seems that the forbidden spell still has an effect.
However, before Gao Yufan and thousands of Gao family monks could breathe a sigh of relief, the raging flames were suppressed for a moment and then "poofed" and spread violently in all directions again. The tall and wet earthen wall was dried in an instant.
"Big Water Dragon!Go on!" Gao Yufan ordered again.
The earthen wall, which was about to collapse by the flames, was once again lying on its stomach with huge water dragons.
Under the action of the water dragon, a large area of mist evaporated from the earthen wall, but it disappeared in an instant under the baking of the flames, but the earthen wall was supported.
"Keep up the water dragon technique!don't stop!" Gao Yufan had already seen that this method seemed to be effective. The flames were encircled, and then the forbidden spells continued to strike, and the burst of flames had weakened somewhat.
"Whew!" another mist rose and was dried in an instant.
"Water Dragons!"
"Crackle!" Countless huge hailstones smashed down continuously, suppressing the bursting flames again and again...
Fortunately, the energy of the flame was finally exhausted before the end of the forbidden spell, and as thousands of monks of the Gao family reinforced the fire barrier again and again, the raging fire was finally contained, and slowly retreated towards the courtyard where the high guard city was located, but where the flames passed, nothing was left, leaving only a piece of incomparably hard coke.
"Closely monitor the fire situation!Be prepared at any time!" Although the fire began to recede, Gao Yufan still did not dare to take it lightly, and after taking a slight breath, he ordered: "Check the casualties immediately!, report it as soon as possible!"
I was so busy putting out the fire that I didn't have time to care about the casualties of the monks in the palace just now, and now that the fire has basically been controlled, it's time to count the losses. The damage in the area where the fire spread was already evident, and it was burned to the ground. The only hope now is that the loss of the monks under his command is within his psychological tolerance.
"Report to the head of the family, the small one has already been counted, except for the Daoists in the Second Elder's Courtyard who can't be counted, a total of eight hundred and sixteen Daoists in the other mansions are missing!" "A Gao Mansion deacon is very capable of doing things, and he counted the Gao family's personnel losses in just one pillar of incense: "Among them, there is one senior in the Distraction Period, and two hundred and fifty-three Daoists in the Void Spirit Period!"
"Keep the fire under control!"
Faced with the current helpless situation, Gao Yufan's mouth was a little bitter, and he couldn't help but secretly curse Gao Shoucheng, a dead ghost. Obviously, the center of this fire was in the courtyard of Gao Shoucheng, and he was nowhere to be found, it was obvious that a high-ranking monk sneaked into Gao's house and killed Gao Shoucheng, and then set such a strange fire, so that half of Gao's family was burned.
Bastard, how many times have you been warned, and the female cultivators in her own house don't care. But it was Cheng Tianye who was both soft and hard outside, and tricked female cultivators outside the Gao Mansion into coming in and committing adultery. It's okay now, I finally met a monk who shouldn't be offended, and I didn't have to die, but it cost the Gao family so much.
Now, I can only swallow the bitter fruit in my stomach for the time being!
"Immediately send out all the spies to find out if there are any suspicious people who have infiltrated the mansion tonight! Order all the rudders, halls, shops, and all the shadows lurking in the various forces to collect clues about tonight at all costs! Issue a reward notice, if you can provide useful information and catch the person who set the fire, the Gao family can agree to a request within his ability!"
Gao Yufan, the head of the Gao family, is also open, and he is one of the six generations of families in Hangjiacheng. Not only was he infiltrated into the mansion and killed the second elder, but he was also set on fire and burned down nearly half of the Gao Mansion. If the murderer can't be caught as soon as possible, then the Gao family will probably be stripped of the names of the six major families in the future. You must know that the Qiu family, with the support of Qiu Xuehua and the Helian family, has been staring at it for a long time. Once the Gao family can't handle this matter in a short time, it won't be long before the Gao family's reputation will definitely plummet.
"Yes, the little one will do it immediately!" Immediately, a deacon took the order.
"No matter who you are, since you dare to provoke our Gao family, then you are already a dead man! Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, don't try to escape the endless pursuit of our Gao family!" Although Gao Yufan was manic in his heart, he was unusually calm on the surface, and after talking to himself for a while, he actually continued to organize people to rescue the fire tepidly: "Build a firewall and gradually advance inside, and continue to prepare for forbidden spells!"
In fact, he is also very helpless, but no matter how angry he is, he can't change the current situation, only by finding out the murderer as soon as possible and killing him in public with the most cruel means can he save the face of the Gao family to the greatest extent.
On the top of a high-rise building not far from the Gao family, Ye Hong looked at the fire that the Gao family had not completely extinguished, smiled coldly, and then turned to leave.
Just now, at the moment when Gao Shoucheng's Dao Weapon Flying Sword was about to touch Ye Hongmian's door, it was grabbed by the Fire Spirit King's big hand.
The flying sword driven by the mind was immediately like a snake that had been pinched by seven inches, and kept swinging from side to side, trying to break free, but in the face of the Fire Spirit King with the strength of the mountain stage, how could the Dao Weapon Flying Sword break free.
"Hehe! I'll introduce you, this is a comrade-in-arms below, the Fire Spirit King of the Ranking Period Realm!" Ye Hong smiled slightly, pointed to the Fire Spirit King who was steaming with dark red flames on the side, and said to Gao Shoucheng: "Oh! You may not know the realm of the Ranking Period very well! It is the realm that Shangguan Honglie is attacking with all his strength but may not be able to succeed!"
In fact, there was no need for Ye Hong to introduce him, Gao Shoucheng had already fully understood the terrifying elemental lifeform opposite.
Ever since the Fire Spirit King appeared, the temperature in the empty chamber began to rise rapidly, and then the surrounding walls and roof floors turned red. Gao Shoucheng felt as if he was soaked in hot magma, and the water in his body seemed to be volatilizing, and it was estimated that it would not be long before he would be roasted into a dried corpse.
In the panic, he didn't know what Ye Hong said, he only knew that the other party's strength was unimaginable. The only thing he could do was to instinctively cast water and ice spells on the outside of his body to resist the invasion of extreme high temperature and heat, and he didn't have time to care about the Dao weapon flying sword that shot at Ye Hong, but only separated a part of his divine consciousness to maintain a connection with it.
Gradually, after barely resisting the high temperature of the barbecue, he found that the connection with the Dao Flying Sword was getting weaker and weaker. At a glance, his face was as pale as earth, and he saw that the mid-grade Dao weapon flying sword that he had cultivated with a poor voice had actually begun to melt, and drops of dark red liquid were dripping from the flying sword. Immediately, the ground on the warm jade pavement began to burn. This dark red liquid can even burn warm jade.
Then, as if hearing a final wail, Gao Shoucheng found that he had completely lost contact with the Dao Weapon Flying Sword, that is, he had completely lost this Dao Weapon.
"Spare my life! Ye Daoyou, I'm not a human, I'm a beast!" Gao Shoucheng knew that it was useless to resist, and now the only chance to survive could only be pinned on begging for mercy, so he knelt down with a plop: "Below, oh no, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for Daoyou, do anything, just ask Daoyou to spare Xiao's life!"
