At night, there is a solemn group on the mountain.

In the main hall, in a neat and silent study, Ye Qingcheng, Fu Shan and the others wandered anxiously in front of a closed bronze door. Under the flickering candlelight, seven or eight figures stood in this study, and everyone looked panicked.

Ye Qingcheng clenched his fists, his face was pale, his breathing was disordered, and his heart throbbed from time to time. Behind the bronze door in front of him was a secret room, in which the old man and the elder Jue were healing their wounds.

The spiritual source is the source of spiritual power hidden in the soul of the spirit martial arts, and for the allied beasts, the spiritual source is hidden in their beast core. Once the core of the beast is damaged, no matter how strong the alliance beast is, it will be difficult to save its life, and even if it is saved, it is very likely to be scrapped. This point, whether it is for ordinary alliance beasts or for young heavenly demons like Lihuo, it is the same.

The methods used by Gu Teng were too ferocious, and no one thought that he would use such simple and vicious methods, and take advantage of Zhou Shan's slackness to directly attack Lihuo. The candles flickered, and the dark shadows flickered in the room. Xiao Bian was standing by the wall, dozing off with his eyelids drooping, and the Earthshaking Bear was leaning against the wall, staring worriedly at the bronze door with its single eye. Shi Jing hugged Xiao Wu, who looked very tired, and lowered her head and cried quietly. Hou Xiao held his head in his arms and sat in the corner, looking dazed. The jade unicorn squatted in front of the window, quietly looking at the night scene outside the door.

Lihuo is not only a part of Ye Qingcheng's life, but also the lifeblood of Buzhou Mountain, it is the first alliance beast of Buzhou Mountain, and the honor and disgrace of Buzhou Mountain in the future will also be tied to its body.

Fu Shan walked to Ye Qingcheng's side, put his palm on his shoulder, and found that his body was trembling slightly. Lihuo is more important to him than his own life, and he can't imagine what kind of grief he will face if something happens to Lihuo.

"Don't worry, with the Grace Master (Old Man of the Fallen Mountain) and Elder Jue here, it will be fine. Fukuyama comforted.

Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the jade qilin by the window, and asked nervously: "Senior, the Dan core is broken, the spiritual source is damaged, for Lihuo-"

The Jade Qilin turned its head, looked at Ye Qingcheng with sympathetic eyes, and said, "You have to be prepared. ”

The Jade Qilin's words shocked everyone, and the tension on their faces instantly turned into horror.

Ye Qingcheng shook his head and whispered, "I will never allow it to have an accident!"

On the ground, the bronze door that had been closed opened open, and everyone present stood up, staring at the figure of Elder Jue standing at the door in horror.

Old Man Jue's robe was stained with a little remnant of burning goose-yellow spiritual liquid, his expression was solemn, and he looked at Ye Qingcheng with sympathetic eyes, without saying anything.

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng's heart sank suddenly, his brain suddenly dizzy, he didn't ask anything, and broke directly into the bronze secret room.

In the bronze secret room, there is an area with a diameter of five zhang, surrounded by four walls made of bronze, and the walls are burning with turbid yellow earth spirit flames. A goose-yellow spirit ball that was slowly expanding, suspended in the middle of the bronze secret room, the fat figure of the old man who fell from the mountain, sitting silently in front of the fire spirit ball, the whole space was filled with a hot but heart-wrenching atmosphere.

Ye Qingcheng walked over quickly, staring at the goose-yellow fire spirit ball that had swelled to the size of a stone mill, and inside was a small figure that had lifted the demonization and separated from the fire. As if it was asleep, it was quietly wrapped in the middle of the fire spirit ball, and from its nostrils and mouth, wisps of goose-yellow fire spirit source were still floating, constantly merging into the fire spirit ball, causing it to expand slowly.

"Hey, that brute, that's too vicious. The old man who fell from the mountain sighed and said, "They came directly to the life of Lihuo, and they were brutal and decisive, leaving no room at all. If it weren't for the fact that Lihuo was protected by Xiao Wu's Five Elements Crystal, its Dan Core would have been completely shattered. ”

The ins and outs of the matter have been clarified. The minions of the ancient vine servants, the blue-faced strategist and the beast slave, with their strength in the Holy Realm, launched a fierce attack on Lihuo after they appeared. Lihuo must not be their opponent, but at the most critical moment, Xiao Wu, who was present but was ignored, was extremely frightened and used the Five Elements Guardian. Xiao Wu's guardian protected himself and Shi Jing, and also released a five-element spirit shield to Lihuo. However, its Five Elements Spirit Shield still couldn't withstand the attack of the sneak attacker, and it was broken. The moment the Five Elements Spirit Shield was broken, the Origin Spirit Technique was released, and the surrounding area within a hundred zhang was incinerated into a sea of lava and fire, which also attracted everyone's attention.

As a result, at the moment when it released the move, it was hit in the head by the blue-faced strategist using the strange Spirit Gate Teleportation Technique, shattering the Dan core. It was a fatal blow.

In the end, the three emperor-level powerhouses of the old man who fell from the mountain, Elder Jue, and Hua Lao just arrived, and although they killed one of the sneak attackers, it was too late.

At this time, the anger in Ye Qingcheng's heart had been suppressed by panic and sadness, and now, he just wanted to save the fire, and everything else was temporarily put aside.

"Qingcheng, you have to make a choice. The old man said in a deep voice: "Do you want to hold on to Lihuo, or the Heavenly Demon?"

"What do you mean?!" Ye Qingcheng asked in horror.

"If you want to keep the Heavenly Demon, I'll take out the spirit source from the fire and wait for the time to transfer it to another allied beast. The old man said: "If you want to hold on to Lihuo, I will use its spiritual source to repair its Dan core, but from now on, it no longer has the qualification of a heavenly demon." ”

Ye Qingcheng shook his head and said stubbornly: "This is not a last resort. ”

"You can ask Gumu again. The old man said, "I have no other means......

In the dream:

On the edge of a vast lake, blowing a cool breeze, and under the bright sunshine, Gu Mu was sitting under an old tree with a crooked neck, fishing comfortably.

On the ground, Ye Qingcheng's figure appeared beside him. Between the wrinkles on his face, a thin smile immediately rippled, but as a result, he looked at it in amazement, Ye Qingcheng had tears in his eyes.

Ye Qingcheng suddenly knelt down beside the Gu Mu clan and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Master, please save yourself from the fire!"

As he spoke, Ye Qingcheng lowered his head, and tears fell down.

"Dead from the fire?!" Gumu said in shock.

"Not yet, but soon-" Ye Qingcheng shook his head sadly.

"You're not dead, why are you crying?" the Gumu clan breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, its Dan core was broken. Ye Qingcheng raised his head, tears streaming down his face.

"Hehe, what a big deal. Gu Mu smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand and patted Ye Qingcheng's head, and said, "Don't say that the Dan Core is broken, it is broken, as long as it does not die immediately, Master can save it!

"The head of the mountain, he is a martial emperor-level powerhouse. Ye Qingcheng hurriedly said.

"Almost. "Now, I'm going to use your body to guide him in the language of dreams, and you keep your mind ethereal......"
