Chapter 11: Mother and Son Meet
"It's a demon from the Demon Sect Ghost King Sect, everyone be careful."
At the southern entrance of the Incense Valley, the valley lord Yun Yilan quickly figured out who was attacking.
Judging from the strength of the opponent's attack, the people who attacked this time were all the elites of the Ghost King Sect, and there were many shadows in the night, and it was impossible to see how many people there were.
Yun Yilan no longer watched, only to see that his left hand was flickering, and the fire in his hand flashed out, like the jade of pure yang, born out of thin air.
The flame was as amber as color, almost like a solidified thing, and it looked small, but it contained the power of burning everything.
Yun Yilan was about to make a move, but his face suddenly changed wildly, and he saw three attacks in the night sky that made his hair stand on end, coming towards him impartially.
The three attacks were a fierce ghost head that was as solid as a substance, a cyan spear that shone brightly, and a strange bird with a red body.
Each of these three attacks was extremely powerful, so he couldn't ignore it, and the three attacks came out together, which made him feel a great threat.
Where did he dare to make a move against those elite disciples of the Ghost King Sect? Immediately, the palms of his hands were flipped over, and his hands were dancing like meteors on the horizon.
The flame of pure fire burst into flames, turning into a flame barrier and protecting the body.
"Boom Boom"
A deafening explosion resounded through the valley, the air burst, and the waves spread out in circles.
Yun Yilan, who had resisted three attacks, had a red face, and a wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, obviously suffering some internal injuries.
"Master......" When the aftermath dissipated, two figures, a man and a woman, flew towards Yun Yilan quickly.
But they didn't fly to Yun Yilan's side, because they suddenly heard the master's voice in their ears, "Xun'er, go to the Xuanhuo Altar and invite your Uncle Shangguan to come over, Hong'er, you go and invite your Uncle Lu." ”
"Yes, Master, you must be careful."
Li Xun and Yan Hong didn't dare to hesitate, turned around and flew towards the depths of the Incense Valley.
In the sky, the palm of the ghost king has once again condensed a ghost head surrounded by black gas.
Qinglong's hand was full of Qingguang Ring, but in an instant, it was compressed and elongated inward, and soon, a cyan spear appeared in Qinglong's hand again.
In front of Yuhime, there was a crimson seal, constantly emitting a flowing red light like water.
The red light condensed in front of her, turning into an incomparably solid Vermilion Bird.
Seeing Li Xun and Yan Hong, who wanted to leave the battlefield, Qinglong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to sacrifice the spear condensed with extremely compressed spiritual power in his hand, but was stopped by the ghost king.
"Leave them alone, let them call for help, it's just what we need."
"Attack Yun Yilan with all your might, it's best to seriously injure Shangguan Ce and Lu Shun before they come over."
"Makes sense." Qinglong suddenly threw a spear at Yun Yilan again, and the ghost king's spiritual power ghost head and Youji's vermilion bird also shot at the same time.
The strongest three combat forces of the Ghost King Sect joined forces, and even Dao Xuan was enough to drink a pot, not to mention Yun Yilan, who was half a chip weaker than Dao Xuan.
……
In the Incense Valley, Li Fei and Xiao Liusan'er emerged from the ground.
The alarm mechanism of the Incense Valley is a strange beast called the "gray dolphin".
This strange beast has a keen sense of smell, more than ten times that of a dog, and they can easily distinguish the breath of a disciple of the Incense Valley and an outsider.
As soon as they detect the breath of an outsider, they immediately make a movement, causing the filaments wrapped around them to vibrate, causing the bells hanging from the filaments to ring.
But at this time, Li Fei and the others were shrouded in the aura of Xuanhuo Jian, exuding the same aura as the disciples of the Incense Valley, so naturally they did not alarm the gray dolphin.
After diving for a distance, Li Fei's sense swept away, and he found that there was no gray dolphin nearby, knowing that they had reached the depths.
Turning his head and looking around, he was surrounded by a patchwork of palaces and pavilions.
Looking at the architectural style, it is quite similar to the Central Plains, but in subtle places, such as the corners of the window lintels, there are also some fierce beast carvings from time to time, but they are not owned by the Central Plains.
Obviously, in the past 800 years, the Incense Valley has also been influenced by the rough customs of the southern frontiers.
This is already the depths of the Incense Valley, and the neighborhood is quiet, and compared with the hustle and bustle in the distance, it is even quieter.
At this time, the disciples of the Burning Incense Valley were all summoned to the outside valley mouth to resist the invasion of the Ghost King Sect, and the three of them continued to sneak inward without any scruples.
In the night, I saw more than a dozen paths, large and small, connected to each other, scattered like human blood, deep into the darkness in the depths of the Incense Valley.
On both sides of the road, there are either ordinary disciples' residences, or tall and majestic halls.
Sandwiched between these buildings, there are mostly flowers and trees, there are green bamboos and plums, and there are also bright and magnificent peonies and peonies, which form groups with each other.
Looking at each other from afar, it is integrated with the surrounding halls, and it has its own flavor.
Xiao 6300 years ago came here, and even hit the Xuanhuo Altar, naturally they are familiar with the road, with his guidance, they will never take the wrong road.
The three of them sneaked along a small path, the path was secluded, but it was unexpectedly long.
I didn't go far before I saw no other houses around.
There are trees and flowers on both sides of the road, and the night wind blows, and under the light of the dark moon in the sky, the shadows of the trees are swaying, looking like some kind of demon dancing, revealing a trace of weirdness.
The Incense Valley covers a huge area, and this trail, looking twisting and turning, leads to the depths of the valley.
After a while, a stone tablet appeared in front of the three of them, with two lines of words engraved on it: Xuanhuo Heavy Earth, disciple stops.
At this moment, Li Fei's expression suddenly froze, and a figure in his consciousness swept towards this side, and hurriedly sent a message to Xiao Liusan'er: "Someone is coming, go down to the ground first." ”
The figures of the three of them instantly sank into the ground, and after two breaths, a young man dressed in the costume of a disciple of the Incense Valley swept over their heads.
It was Li Xun who was going to go to the Xuanhuo Altar to invite Shangguance.
The three of them reappeared, and Li Fei said to the two: "It seems that the ghost king has done a good job, Yun Yilan is under a lot of pressure, and if Shangguan Ce is led out, it will be just convenient for us to act." ”
The two of them nodded and continued to run forward, in order to be able to escape into the ground at any time and reduce the fluctuation of spiritual power, they did not fly, but spread out their bodies on the ground and ran.
The stele, though unremarkable, seemed to be a dividing line.
After passing the stone monument, although the path still zigzags forward, the trees and flowers on both sides of the road are much rarer.
First the grass on the ground gradually disappeared, then the low shrubs, and finally even the trees on both sides gradually thinned out.
Not to mention that the ground began to crack, even the branches of the remaining trees turned yellow.
It's as if there is a great lack of water in the area, and the land is scorched.
Indeed, under this land, there is an underground magma river, and the Xuanhuo Altar is where the crater is located.
If it weren't for the fact that they possessed the Five Elements Escape Technique, they would not dare to escape in this place if they could escape in the Five Elements.
Follow the path all the way forward, reach the end, and after turning a corner, the Xuanhuo Altar is already in sight.
Ahead was a large clearing, and a wave of heat was blowing in front of you.
In the center of the clearing is a huge circular altar, the bottom of which hangs in the air, and thirteen huge stone pillars made of white jade and three zhang high support the entire altar.
There are twelve white jade pillars on the edge of the altar, each of which is as thick as two people hugging each other.
And the thickest white jade pillar in the middle of the altar looks like it takes at least five or six people to hug it.
Above the altar, all the buildings are made of a strange crimson stone, with balustrades, all of them.
In the center of the altar, there is a tall and majestic hall in the shape of a pagoda with three floors.
Each floor is about half smaller than the next, but each floor looks almost incredibly ten zhang high.
From a distance, this altar was simply a huge burning red flame that pierced the sky.
Under this altar, Li Fei and the three of them are almost as small as ants.
Except for the Xuanhuo Altar in front of him, there is nothing in the open space, and there is no cover.
The three of them swept to the bottom of the Xuanhuo Altar, hid behind a thick white jade pillar, and waited for Shangguan Ce to leave.
It's not that they are afraid of Shangguan Ce, the main purpose of their visit is to save people, and if they are against Shangguan Ce, it will inevitably cause extraneous branches.
After all, the Xuanhuo Altar is Shangguan Ce's home field, and there are eight fierce Xuanhuo Arrays here.
Xiaobai was locked up in the Xuanhuo Altar, if this guy had any means to kill Xiaobai, then they would be stupid.
It didn't take long to hear footsteps, and an old voice asked, "Do you know which sect of the Demon Sect is coming?" ”
Li Xun said respectfully: "Look at their magic weapons, they should be the people of the Ghost King Sect." ”
Shangguan Ce's eyes froze, he thought of the place where the main altar of the Ghost King Sect was located, and he had a faint guess in his heart, could it be because of the fox demon clan?
It is said that the wife of the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect is a fox demon.
Seeing Shangguan Ce, Xiao Liu's eyes were filled with hatred, but at this time, it was important to save his mother, and he had no impulse.
After the two left the Xuanhuo Altar, Shangguan Ce's sleeve robe waved, turning into a gray light and enveloping Li Xun and rising into the sky.
When they were far away, the three of them came out of their hiding place.
"Senior brother, there are eight fierce Xuanhuo Arrays guarding the Xuanhuo Altar, and you need to be more careful."
"Don't worry, the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array without the Xuanhuo Jian can't threaten us, let's go!"
The three of them rushed to the crimson hall on the Xuanhuo Altar.
The whole tower-like altar did not even have a window, and it was all tightly surrounded by huge red stones, except for a door at the lowest level, which was one foot high and six feet wide.
Although the door has been painted with red lacquer, it is a wooden door, unlike the surrounding stone walls.
If you think about it, even the entrance and exit portal is a heavy stone gate, which must be very troublesome.
Xiao Liu's probe pressed the wooden door, although this is a wooden door, but it still feels heavy.
With a push of luck, this heavy and thick door made a muffled "squeak" sound, and slowly opened inward, and Li Fei and San'er rushed in.
The inside of the Xuanhuo Altar was not bright, except for a glimmer of red light shining from nowhere, it seemed to be more dark, which did not match the surrounding hot environment.
On the ground not far away, I don't know who used extremely real brushwork to outline eight fierce gods of different forms.
These eight fierce gods are all fierce, and the killing intent in their eyes is like substance, and they are portrayed very expressively.
It was as if these eight fierce gods were about to jump out at any moment and give them a fatal blow.
There is no second portal here, because where the portal is located, is where Shangguan Ce dares to leave with confidence.
Less than ten breaths after the three of them stepped into this hall, a vision suddenly occurred.
A desolate roar rose out of thin air, and the fierce stone carvings on the ground around them emitted red light at the same time, lighting up one after another.
When the eighth fierce god stone carving also lit up, the desolate roar that echoed in the main hall had turned into a terrible one, filling the entire space.
In the hall of this secret room environment, a whirlwind rose out of thin air.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, all the stone carvings shone brightly, and in an instant, the red light seemed to become a tangible thing, rising from the stone carvings of those fierce gods.
At the same time, it maintains the original appearance of the stone carving, turning into a plane condensed by red light and rising into the air.
One after another, the fierce gods turned into red light clusters and condensed in mid-air.
As the wind became more and more intense, the strange light slowly rose.
All the fierce gods with hideous appearances seemed to have been resurrected at this moment, looking up to the sky and laughing in the huge flame-like blood-red circle of light.
The red light began to rotate slowly, and the speed gradually increased, and even the wind speed on the main hall became more and more rapid.
The strange atmosphere in the air became heavier and heavier, and the rapid and sharp wind seemed to be mixed with a mysterious and ferocious grin, just like the legendary evil ghosts of the Nine Shadows came to the world.
The red circle of light finally rose to the dome, turning faster and faster under the unpretentious stone slabs.
Red light rained down like a rain of blood in hell.
"Boom"
After spun rapidly to the point of almost dizzying, suddenly, the red circle of light came to an abrupt halt, and it stopped abruptly without warning.
The next moment, above this blood-red flame, the huge stone slab seemed to be summoned to move away, and retreated in all directions with the flame totem as the center.
In the blood-red light, two fiery eyes lit up.
"Roar"
A low roar came from the red light above, and in an instant the entire hall seemed to tremble, and all the gods shouted together at this moment.
The huge body carried an incredible heat, and the whole body was like a burning flame, and a giant beast swooped down from above.
I saw that the huge body of this red flame beast was several feet high, with thick legs, and extremely sharp claws at the end.
The slightest movement on the ground leaves deep claw marks on the hard red rock.
Above its massive skull, there was a large mouth full of sharp teeth.
There were no eyeballs in the big eyes, but two flames that were burning.
Moreover, the surface of the huge body of this red flame beast was filled with blazing fire, as if the flames were a part of its body.
"Roar"
A loud roar resounded through the Xuanhuo altar, shaking people's eardrums.
The Red Flame Fire Beast's eyes were burning with flames, staring at Li Fei and the others, and the killing intent was strong enough to make any cultivator suffocate with fear.
Xiao Liu said with a solemn expression: "San'er, it's snowy and icy." ”
"Understood." San'er immediately sealed with Xiao Liu, preparing to cast the ultimate immortal technique of the water system "Wind, Snow and Ice Sky", but was stopped by Li Fei.
"You don't have to use spells, Xiao Liu, throw the Xuanhuo Jian out."
"Huh?" Xiao Liu looked at Li Fei puzzled, although he had been here and taken the Xuanhuo Jian from here, he didn't know how to deal with this Red Flame Fire Beast.
Li Fei smiled and said, "Listen to me." ”
"Okay." Xiao Liu no longer hesitated, took out the Xuanhuo Jian, and threw it at the Red Flame Fire Beast that was about to pounce.
As the Xuanhuo Jian got closer and closer to the Red Flame Fire Beast, the ancient flame totem wrapped in the middle of the emerald jade ring slowly lit up.
The next moment, a dazzling red light emanated from the totem and shone on the huge body of the Red Flame Fire Beast.
There was almost no resistance to any power, and with a "hiss", the Red Flame Fire Beast, which was still vicious and abnormal just now, was actually sucked in by the Xuanhuo Jian like a long whale absorbing water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The flame totem with the eight fierce god patterns in mid-air also slowly disappeared after losing the Red Flame Fire Beast.
The whole hall fell silent.
The red flame beast that almost killed the ghost in the original book came out and roared twice, and it didn't even count as soy sauce, and it disappeared without any effect.
After all the fierce flames disappeared, the hall was once again shrouded in a faint red light.
Only above the head, where the Red Flame Beast appeared just now, revealed a circular hole leading to the second layer.
The inside of the round cave was pitch black, and a layer of red light shone into it, but from below, only a small area of the cave entrance could be seen, and it seemed to be dark next to it.
Xiao Liu and San'er were dumbfounded, "This ...... It's that simple? ”
Li Fei said with a smile: "It's that simple, the Xuanhuo Jian, as the eye of the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array, is an indispensable object for activating the formation. ”
"Because the Xuanhuo Jian is the core of the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array, providing the power of endless fire spirits, it can be called the source of ten thousand fires."
"With the Xuanhuo Jian in hand, all fire-based spells and flame-related existences can be suppressed."
Xiao Liu patted his head and said ashamedly: "Why didn't I expect it, fortunately, there is a senior brother here." ”
"Hehe......" Li Fei smiled and said, "Take back the Xuanhuo Jian, let's go up." ”
"Yes."
Xiao Liu picked up the Xuanhuo Jian, and the three of them flew up to the second floor.
Inside the altar on the second floor, except for the round hole that came up, there was a faint red light, and the surroundings were pitch black.
But in the depths of darkness, there is another thing that glows with a glimmer.
It was a stone platform more than half a man high, and the whole stone platform was completely different from the red rock around it.
While it exudes a faint coolness, the shimmer of light emanating from the stone pillars is still changing colors.
Sometimes reddish, sometimes light purple, sometimes goose yellow, sometimes green, it is beautiful.
On the plane of the stone platform, there is a ring-shaped indentation, and three characters are engraved next to it - Xuanhuo Jian.
This time, there was no need for Li Fei to remind him, Xiao Liu pinched the Xuanhuo Jian and stepped forward, pasted it along the dent, and fastened it tightly.
"Boom"
A moment later, a dull voice came overhead.
I saw the stone slab above my head, slowly retreating in a low voice, revealing a stone cave.
Almost at the same time, the temperature around him plummeted, from the original heat to ice cold.
Lined with the faint red light, you can even see a trace of cold white gas floating down from the round hole leading to the third floor.
And feeling this cold air, Xiao Liu's whole body trembled lightly uncontrollably.
"It's the mother, it's the breath of the mother, she's really alive, it's great."
Li Fei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be busy getting excited first, wait until you rescue Lingtang and leave here, and then it's not too late to get excited." ”
Xiao Liu immediately calmed down when he heard this, nodded heavily, and then he was the first to fly up from the entrance of the cave, followed by Li Fei and San'er.
The third layer of the Xuanhuo Altar was covered with ice, and the heat below didn't seem to affect it at all.
A faint pale blue shimmer emanated from all corners.
And the moment Li Fei came up, he was attracted by the beautiful white figure.
When he saw Xiao Liu's original form, Li Fei was attracted by the other party's beautiful and elegant figure.
But now that he saw the huge beautiful white fox in front of him, he realized that the beauty that Xiao Liu had shocked him back then was actually just a little kid who didn't have any hair.
Looking at the nine flowing white tails floating leisurely behind him, the beautiful white hair is as smooth as water, adding a bit of beautiful color to this dark blue world.
At this time, Xiao Liu had already rushed towards the beautiful figure, and shouted excitedly: "Mother, the child is not filial, the child has come to save you." ”
When Xiao Bai heard Xiao Liu's voice, his whole body trembled, and his originally closed eyes suddenly opened, looking at the figure running towards him in disbelief.
