Chapter 199: Return to Jiahe City

Shi Xuan rode the Purple Winged Wild Lion over the mountains and mountains, walked through half of the southwest continent, crossed the countries, walked through the sea of people, and finally saw one of the endless fire domains, the mountains of Hongyan Ridge again.

Shi Xuan is no longer the fledgling child back then, now he has a broader vision, he has his foothold on the mainland, and now he can look down on the mountains of Hongyan Ridge.

Unlike when he first came, Shi Xuan did not choose to return along the Jia River by boat, he chose to ride the Purple Winged Wild Lion over many high mountains, wanting to fly directly back to his hometown.

Hongyan Ridge has undergone a lot of changes from the past, that is, there are more high-level spirit beasts, and there are crises everywhere, he has encountered many raids all the way over the mountains and mountains, Shi Xuan has long been prepared in his heart, no one has chosen to cross the mountains directly through the entire Hongyan Ridge for many years, most people choose to take a boat along the Jia River, they don't have the courage.

Shi Xuan also observed Hongyan Ridge for the first time from a high-altitude perspective, only then did he realize how vast the Hongyan region is, many famous mountains and rivers have been inaccessible for many years, the magma in the mountains is wanton, volcanic soot is everywhere, and the smoke and dust that covers the sky and the sun are scattered everywhere, and the land is thousands of miles away, like purgatory.

Only then did Shi Xuan realize that most of the areas he had walked through were just the edge of the Red Rock Ridge, and now with his high-altitude vision, he finally saw the magnificent mountains, which were completely endless fire domains, and most of the spirit beasts that could survive here were fire attribute spirit beasts, and they were furious.

Fifth-order fire demon lizards are everywhere, and the fire is shuttling around the magma, and the sound of fire-fighting toads trembling the mountains and fields, a veritable land of Shura.

Shi Xuan finally understood why for thousands of years, no one had ever chosen to travel to the Southwest Continent by land, preferring to take a boat to take a long detour.

There is indeed no place in the mountains that is suitable for ordinary people to walk through, the lofty mountains and mountains are enough to block countless ordinary people, and the extremely high temperature environment is difficult for weaker spirit masters to persevere, and the spirit beasts that are raging everywhere have become the biggest obstacles.

Shi Xuan, as a ninth-order spirit master of the Heavenly Vein Realm, also felt as small as an ant at this moment.

The mountains and wilderness here are like a flood and a river, and during the two consecutive days of flying, he did not see any trace of the human race, but was attacked many times.

The raid above the sky was the most deadly, the fire demon bats flew over the mountains in groups, even the high-level spirit beasts would have to be unlucky when they encountered them, when Shi Xuan flew over the mountains, he saw a group of flame demon bats from a distance, and flew directly into the distance, not even a quarter of an hour did not dare to stop, once they fell into their encirclement, they would inevitably have no bones.

Although Shi Xuan's Purple Winged Madness Lion had already reached the middle of the Fifth Order, it didn't have the courage to fight in the face of these Flame Demon Bats.

On top of an extremely towering volcano in the distance, Shi Xuan's eyes were about to fall out, he almost thought that he had seen a real phoenix, a huge Qingluan Fire Phoenix with a body of dozens of feet swaying between the mountains, his mouth spewed flames, burning mountains and boiling the sea like horror.

"It turns out that it's not the real Phoenix Clan, but the Qingluan Fire Phoenix?" Shi Xuan carefully observed the comparison between their body shape and the body shape of Huang Shuhan, and finally found something different, the Qingluan Fire Phoenix was the ancient divine beast closest to the Phoenix Clan, their ancestors were direct descendants of the Phoenix Clan, and they still retained part of the Phoenix bloodline in their bodies.

"After you go back, you must tell Shu Han, maybe these Qingluan Fire Phoenixes are also their ancient ancestors?" Shi Xuan didn't dare to offend at all, in front of such a terrifying divine beast, he would die so much that there was not even dust left.

Between a valley, this hot magma flowed everywhere, and when Shi Xuan flew over the valley, he was almost not scared to cry, the ancient giant ape, which had been dozens of feet tall, was climbing the mountain wall, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura of fire.

Shi Xuan clearly felt that the Purple Winged Madly Lion's heart was beating faster, and his whole body was trembling, in the face of such an overlord, the Purple Winged Madden's posture was unstable.

Shi Xuan hurriedly turned back along the road, not daring to anger such an existence at all, and bypassed it far away, preferring to take a long detour rather than fly through the canyon.

Fortunately, the giant ape also seemed to think that his meat was too little to be worth touching, so he ignored them at all, and continued to climb the canyon.

Shi Xuan has encountered the overlord-level desolate beasts in a row, and his heartbeat is much faster, and now he has found a relatively safe place to rest, and even after flying day and night, the purple winged mad lion can't bear it.

Shi Xuan destroyed the strength of the two tigers on the mountainside to kill a fire cow, which also brought him and the purple winged mad lion a good meal, if it weren't for Shi Xuan, as the most extreme fire spirit master, he wouldn't even be able to roast the meat of the fire cow, ordinary flames couldn't hurt the fire cow at all, but Shi Xuan's real fire was not a joke.

The Purple Winged Lion devoured most of the fire ox, and his appetite was not ordinary.

However, the smell of their barbecue meat ushered in an uninvited guest all of a sudden, a few zhang long Huo Mang, asked about the smell of meat, and came to the top of the mountain with the smell, Shi Xuan had to start a big battle with it, he and the Purple Winged Wild Lion fought two to one, and barely killed it, the fifth-order peak fire spirit core made Shi Xuan happy, such a high-level spirit core can be used as an excellent spiritual material for spirit forging, and it can play an ultimate role in his hands.

He didn't dare to stay here any longer, otherwise there would be more and more spirit beasts being attracted, and he estimated that it would be difficult for him to deal with them.

In this endless fire domain, he was not idle, his biggest purpose this time was to find the spiritual materials that sealed the fire spirit realm, the extremely fiery power of the owner of the flame core, it is the treasure of the world, and it can play a key role in the seal.

However, although Shi Xuan flew over the Endless Fire Domain, there was still no result at all, and he did not feel the existence of the Flame Core.

But he also knew that since he was guarded and let him come, he would not lie to him, and he still flew to find out the whereabouts of the Flame Core.

After three days of flying, he finally arrived at a relatively safe area, which was full of a large number of fiery red trees, and the environment here was much better than other places, at least there were trees.

He even found an old fire lingzhi in the woods, which already had a very strong aura, Shi Xuan was like a treasure, this fire lingzhi was a rare spiritual material for them to learn about the spirit master, and it was of great help to promote cultivation.

Shi Xuan cautiously intervened in the surrounding environment, where there were generally supreme treasures, there would always be the existence of high-level spirit beasts.

"You check around, if there is any trouble, notify me", Shi Xuan commanded the Purple Winged Wild Lion to keep watch for him, and he slowly dug up the fire Lingzhi.

A moment later, Shi Xuan finally dug out the huge fire lingzhi, and when he was enjoying it happily, he suddenly heard a wailing sound suddenly coming from in front of him.

"Oops, the Purple Winged Madness Lion has been raided", Shi Xuan heard the screams of the Purple Winged Madness, he immediately put away the Lingzhi and began to run forward.

But after a while, he flew away in another direction, and he saw that the Purple Winged Madness Lion was actually being chased and stung by a group of huge flame demon bees, and Shi Xuan saw the Purple Winged Madness's swollen body, and immediately understood.

The Purple Winged Wild Lion's body was so swollen that it was almost unrecognizable, and these huge demon bees chased after it. The Purple Winged Madness Lion followed behind Shi Xuan and kept flying, not daring to slack off at all.

"Big man, it's time for you to sacrifice your life for righteousness, don't you chase me?" Shi Xuan looked at the Flame Demon Bee behind him and flew faster.

The Purple Winged Wild Lion didn't dare to stay at all, chasing Shi Xuan at all, Shi Xuan also realized the difficulty of these demon bees, it was difficult for his true fire to cause a fatal blow, he thought of the crystals of the demon mist, those black crystals brought out from the dragon bone mountain field came in handy at this moment.

Shi Xuan picked out a crystal with his sword, and took out a fire-based spirit core towards the flame bee swarm behind him, and detonated it in an instant with his own aura, and the terrifying destructive power exploded, and the large swarm of demon bees died on the spot, and the spreading storm directly overturned the backward purple-winged mad lion and fell to the ground.

The purple wings of the whole body were eroded by the energy of destruction, and most of the fur fell off, and the originally handsome purple winged mad lion suddenly turned into a bald lion, and his whole body was swollen terribly.

Shi Xuan pulled out his sword and quickly slashed the remaining demon bees, and then completely got rid of the danger.

At this moment, the purple-winged mad lion had long lost the demeanor of a strong man, rolling all over the ground, and the intense pain made him feel painful and let out a wail.

"Okay, don't howl, I'll give you some fire lingzhi, it will be swollen when it's full", Shi Xuan took out the fire lingzhi, cut off a piece and gave him to eat, after a long time, his swollen body gradually subsided, and his body was still trembling at the moment.

"I'll take you to fly for the rest of the journey, you can cultivate well in Naling, these Fire Lingzhi will definitely allow you to break through a lot of strength," Shi Xuan comforted.

This time to collect the fire Lingzhi, the Purple Winged Crazy Lion can be regarded as blocking the gun for him, otherwise he may be the one who suffers this time, but with the Fire Lingzhi as compensation, the Purple Winged Wild Lion is not a very loss, this Fire Lingzhi is a very rare cultivation spiritual material for him, and it will definitely allow him to greatly improve his cultivation.

Shi Xuan also felt the temperature of the Fire Domain weaken in this area, which proved that he had come to the edge of the Fire Domain, and it would not be long before he would be able to fly out of the range of the mountains.

Hongyan Ridge is worthy of being one of the two major fire domains in the world, above the mountains here, Shi Xuan has found a lot of fire element spiritual materials, these spiritual materials have a high grade, and Hongyan Ridge has also undergone earth-shaking changes over the years.

The strength of the spirit beasts on the mountain is even stronger, and the spirit materials have also grown a lot, which has attracted a lot of mercenaries to come to explore, people die for money, and birds die for food.

The next day, Shi Xuan finally saw the Terrans active on the mountains, which was the first time he had seen the Terrans active on the mountains since he entered the Endless Fire Domain.

Shi Xuan has been walking on the mainland for many years, and he also knows that in such an environment, he must not easily contact these people, in such a remote environment, some hostile spirit masters will even kill people and seize treasures, becoming even more ferocious than spirit beasts.

Shi Xuan didn't take the initiative to provoke these spirit masters who went up the mountain to adventure, he flew down the mountain alone, however, these people caught his attention.

"Big brother, do you see there's a fat sheep there?" a spirit master noticed Shi Xuan.

"Be careful, this person dares to go deep into here alone, do you want to have some ability?" The man at the head looked at Shi Xuan.

"The five of us are afraid of him alone, is the eldest brother stupid by the bandits?" one of the spirit masters complained.

"Fuck your shit, I'm just careful, you all come with me, I'll see if he ate leopard gall?" The spirit master led by Shi Xuan came to Shi Xuan.

"Little brother, where are you from?" the man asked.

"Who are you, why are you in my way?" Shi Xuan asked rhetorically.

"Hey, boy, what does my eldest brother ask you?, answer honestly?" said the other spirit master, showing a sword.

"Give you three breaths of time, get out of the way immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless?" Shi Xuan understood their plan at a glance, he didn't want to take the initiative to hurt people.

"I'm laughing to death, and you dare to say anything crazy and hand over all the valuable things on you, or else you will see the deep valley next to you?" the man threatened.

"It's time for three breaths", Shi Xuan took the lead and grabbed the man who spoke and threw him off the cliff, the man wailed with a pale face and fell.

The other four people were stunned at once, and the speed of the other party's attack shocked them, "Big brother killed him?" A spirit master drew his sword and killed him.

Shi Xuan responded with a heavy punch, his sword was broken by Shi Xuan's punch, and the man's face turned pale, and the others realized that they had kicked the iron plate.

"The hero spares his life, we don't know Taishan with our eyes, we offended the young man, spare my life?" said the spirit master led by him.

"Next time I see you doing evil, he will end up in the best?" Shi Xuan said, pointing to the person who fell under the canyon.

"Don't do it, don't dare anymore", the man continued.

Shi Xuan was not interested in entanglement with them, he had to continue to hurry, but just as he turned around, the spirit master led by him suddenly killed Shi Xuan, he wanted to raid Shi Xuan, but his clumsy methods were suddenly recognized by Shi Xuan.

"I gave you a chance, you don't cherish it, then go and accompany him, right?" Shi Xuan punched out, and the man led by him regretted it, but he didn't have a chance to beg for mercy, his body flew out upside down, fell off the cliff and died directly, and the other three were also killed by Shi Xuan one after another.

"Let the heavens decide your life and death, right?" Shi Xuan glanced at the few people who fell, then turned around and left, flying into the distance without looking back.

The five of them also paid the price for their greed, with their strength, they could completely rely on their own hands to obtain the spiritual materials they wanted, but their greedy nature pushed them into the abyss.

On the rest of the road, Shi Xuan also encountered other mercenaries several times, these places were already near the Jiahe River, there were a large number of mercenaries infested, and the spirit beasts that appeared on these mountains were also some low-level existences, and he never encountered too many dangers again.

Although many mercenaries have also coveted him for a long time, but when he showed his terrifying strength, those Xiaoxiao no longer had the courage to make a move, among these mercenaries, there are too few people who have reached the Heavenly Vein Realm, and most of them are some low-level low-level spirit masters.

When Shi Xuan flew out of the mountains, the once familiar Jiahe River reappeared in front of his eyes, still glowing with a dark red aura, looking extremely weird, and the waves flowed towards Canghai Town in the distance.

Shi Xuan came to the town here, which was also a small town near Jiahe City, which was not far from his hometown.

After many years of absence, returning to his hometown after a long absence, he did have a lot of intimacy all of a sudden, it seems that it is not as prosperous as the mainland, but it also has a unique flavor and unique customs and customs, which are what Shi Xuan dreams of.

On the top of the town, he had a good night's rest, ready to continue to rush along the Jiahe River to Stone Village the next day, he also inquired a lot of news in this town, Jiahe City has changed greatly in recent years, after the recovery of the aura, the fire spirit materials produced here have attracted countless businessmen to come, and the fame of Jiahe City has become even greater. The four major families of Wang have already changed, the Wang family was the first to perish, and the Shen family was also defeated by the bandit leader who came later and united the Lu family and the Cai family, and now the Lu family and the Cai family dominate the group, and the power of the bandit leader was expelled again except for Jiahe City.

Such a change of power is not beyond Shi Xuan's imagination, the Lu family and the Cai family were originally the strongest, and they are also native families here, and the background is far beyond the imagination of these foreign forces.

The only thing that surprised him was that the bandits' forces were still alive for so many years, Shi Xuan had hated them many years ago, and this time when he came back, he had the idea of annihilating them.

Back then, the bandits had killed a lot of people in their stone village, and it was necessary for him to seek justice from them when he returned this time.

After the next day, Shi Xuan did not have a high-profile flight, he chose to return to his hometown by boat, he didn't want to be targeted by the local snakes here as soon as he returned to Jiahe City, he wanted to find an opportunity to eradicate this group of bandits, and it was not suitable for him to emerge for the time being.

It won't be long from this small town of Daojiahe City, Shi Xuan watched the merchant ships coming and going on the boat, and also sighed at the changes that have taken place in his hometown, the increase in foreign merchants over the years has undoubtedly brought them huge wealth to Jiahe City, the Lu family and the Cai family have developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and around Jiahe City, many mercenaries have chosen to cooperate with them and sell them the spiritual materials they harvested.

The Lu family and the Cai family now have a lot of masters in charge, and the strength of the heads of the two families has also broken through over the years, and they have all reached the spiritual realm, even if they are placed on the mainland, they can be regarded as a figure.

What's more, they control the business of the entire Jiahe City, and the power of the family should not be underestimated, even the power of Canghai does not dare to underestimate them.

The merchant ship that Shi Xuan took this time was the merchant ship of the Lu family, and they occupied almost half of the dock business in Jiahe City, and they were on an equal footing with the Cai family.

On the merchant ship, Shi Xuan saw Jiahe City from a distance, and the hometown that had never been erased in his memory came into his eyes again, although the city has grown a lot, but the basic pattern has not changed.

Shi Xuan crossed the dock and returned to the once familiar street, looking at Jiahe City, which was full of shops, looking back at the scenes of the year again, and in the blink of an eye, he was full of emotion.

Shi Xuan walked through a lot of streets, looking at the place he was once familiar with, he came to a street again, that was the street where the Tianhai Academy was located, he didn't go in, he just watched the genius teenagers coming in and out next to the academy, just like when he was young.

Today's Tianhai Academy is still the premier academy in Jiahe City, attracting countless disciples to sign up every year, and it is they who give these low-level children the dream of becoming spiritual masters.

If it weren't for the cultivation of Tianhai Academy, Shi Xuan would not have been able to get to this point today, looking at the former Academy, Shi Xuan looked at these smiling children, and was also full of relief.

He remembered Su Li, the enlightenment mentor of the year, and Zhong Wei, the mentor who taught him the spirit forging technique, who gave him a vast stage. He learned from the people who guarded the Yuan Gate that Mentor Su Li set off for the mainland again to continue to pursue the path of the Spirit Master, while Zhong Wei continued to stay here, his grade was already old, and he did not have the vitality of Su Li, and it was already his last dream for him to be able to teach countless disciples here.

Shi Xuan didn't go to visit Zhong Wei immediately, he decided to wait for his own affairs to be done, before visiting him, he left here and came to the street again, this time he was to buy a batch of household goods, he knew that his parents were old, and they could only rely on their father to hunt for a living, and their income was very meager, and the family was almost surrounded by four walls, and he didn't want them to continue to work hard.

Shi Xuan ran almost all over Jiahe City, bought a lot of food, clothing, and use, and finally left Jiahe City for the remote Stone Village, which was his home.

The familiar mountains and wilderness entered his eyes again, and the dilapidated and poor mountain village appeared in his eyes again, although the city has long since changed, but the stone village is still the same poverty, there is no change at all, the rich are still the big families in the city, and the civilians at the bottom are still struggling.

Although Shi Xuan had already expected all this, after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still very uncomfortable, and the plight of the civilians was indeed difficult to change.

When he walked into the village, he saw a group of innocent and lively children playing, Shi Xuan saw in them the shadow of his childhood, above the innocent face, carefree, a little gadget bought by the adults in the city made them happy all day.

Although the young child had changed, the situation back then was still vivid, and Shi Xuan walked straight to the familiar stone house, where there were the relatives he was looking forward to.

Although the former courtyard was dilapidated, it was full of the care of relatives, looking at the smoke rising from the house, Shi Xuan's face finally showed a smile, after many years of wandering on the mainland, he finally found the best comfort here.
