After a long time, Cheng Ling completely consolidated the cultivation of the late Yuan Infant. Turning his head to look at Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan, he asked, "Miss Yiyi, Senior Sister Gu, have your true yuan recovered?"

Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan nodded at the same time.

Cheng Ling said: "What is the situation in the east and south?"

Bai Yiyi said: "There are many monks of the Seven Great Forces in the east and north, the north is mainly the Four Great Families and the Imperial Sword Sect, and the east is the Nine Xiao Sect and the Martial God Sect, which happens to be the direction of their sect. As for the south, I've been walking for a long time and haven't found anything special!"

"Where's the Academy?"

"I didn't see the people of the academy, but I just happened to hear the disciples of the Imperial Sword Gate say that the academy dispatched tens of thousands of disciples, led by the master of the Kendo Academy himself, and the people of the seven major forces were in a stalemate in the north. ”

Cheng Ling was shocked in his heart, the master of the Kendo Academy personally led tens of thousands of disciples in the academy, and they could all be stalemate, it seemed that the seven major forces had already been prepared, and the situation in front of him was not optimistic.

Bai Yiyi asked, "Cheng Ling, what should we do now?" I don't know where Brother Jian is. ”

Cheng Ling comforted: "Don't worry, with Brother Jian's ability, those monks can't do anything with him." Now I have a few ideas, let's go through them together. ”

"You say!" the two girls said in unison.

"The first idea is to go south, until it is outside the sphere of influence of the Nine Heavens Sect and the Martial God Sect, and then turn to the east, through the sea route, back to the sphere of influence of the Northern Academy. ”

"This method is very difficult, because it is easy to get lost in the mountains, and on the sea route, I can't guarantee that there will be no people from the seven major forces to intercept it!"

"What about the second way?"

"The second approach is more risky. Today, almost all of the elites of the Seven Great Forces are facing off against the Academy in the north, and so are the disciples of the Flame Sect. At this time, the Flame Cult's lair must be empty, so we will take advantage of the situation to kill it and set him a backyard on fire. ”

"In this way, the Flame Sect may be attracted to us and retreat from the north, and the pressure on the academy side will be reduced. Moreover, it is very likely that Brother Sword is also within the sphere of influence of the Flame Sect. I'm at least 70% sure about that!"

"Why?" Bai Yiyi asked.

"You have explored the north and the east, and most of the disciples of the seven major forces are concentrated in these two places. With Brother Jian's intelligence, it is impossible to hit the road to death. ”

"However, this second method is extremely difficult, the lair of the Flame Sect is by no means so easy to enter, there are likely to be many unknown dangers inside, and there must be many monks left behind in the lair. ”

The two women looked at each other, pondered, and after a long time, as if they had made some kind of determination, they said at the same time, "Let's choose the second method and enter the Flame Sect!"

Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that the first method was actually an escape, and he didn't like it. And even if it can be successful, it will not help the academy much.

After getting along with the two girls in the past few days, he has some sense of integration into the academy, at least from their point of view, he definitely doesn't want the academy to lose in the end. The two daughters were kind to him, and Cheng Ling was very gracious, so she naturally wanted to help them.

What's more, it is possible that Jian Yinghao and Wu Chenlong are still nearby, and he can't leave them alone.

The three of them had already made a decision, and after making preparations, they headed in the direction of the Flame Cult's lair.

Along the way, they hid their bodies to avoid unnecessary trouble, and sometimes chose to avoid passing through areas where monsters were entrenched. Fortunately, there were very few disciples of the Flame Sect along the way, and they traveled very fast, and after walking for two days, they reached the outside of the lair.

Cheng Ling didn't choose the direction he had fought before, there were disciples of the Flame Sect guarding him, and if he broke through, he was afraid of startling the snake, so he chose to sneak in quietly from the side.

The Cult's lair was built under a mountain range, and the entire mountain range was huge. At the bottom of the mountain, there is a large entrance, like a giant dragon with its mouth open. There are eight stone pillars on each side of the entrance, and two rows of torches are lit, and the flames sway in the wind, reflecting the flickering light and darkness of the cave entrance.

All three of them changed into black night clothes and hid under a stone pillar ten feet away from the entrance of the cave. Cheng Ling looked at the entrance of the cave from a distance, and saw that several disciples were guarding, all of them leaning against the stone pillar and napping.

Bai Yiyi asked softly, "Cheng Ling, should we deal with these disciples first?"

Cheng Ling said: "Don't alarm them first, let's rush directly into the cave and break through from the inside, with them, the other disciples of the Flame Sect will not suspect it, just to be caught off guard!"

"But they're guarding the door, how can we get in?"

Cheng Ling smiled and said, "It's too easy to lure them away." ”

After speaking, he picked up a piece of gravel and flicked his thumb. The stone slammed heavily against the outermost pillar with a crisp sound.

As soon as those disciples woke up, they were instantly attracted to their attention, and they all ran towards the stone pillars on the periphery.

Cheng Ling let out a low shout, "Let's go!" and took advantage of the gap to gallop towards the cave, Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan followed, and the three of them easily entered the cave.

Enter the cave, which is a large lava cave with a dark passage ahead. Cheng Ling walked towards the passage first, and the two girls followed behind, always on guard.

The passage is long and spacious, and there is no stuffy feeling. On the walls of the cave on both sides, a groove of one foot is chiseled out each, and the groove is filled with grease, which ignites the fire, and illuminates the passage as if it were daytime, and the design is exquisite.

Cheng Ling's divine sense was released, and the scene in the passage was unobstructed, and he didn't find the cultivator of the Flame Sect, he quickened his pace and walked along the passage towards the depths.

After moving forward for a quarter of an hour, the divine consciousness swept through the circular space in front of him, and there were more than a dozen monks in the space, all in a hurry, constantly shuttling back and forth.

Cheng Ling said in a low voice: "There is a circular space in front of us, there are people in it, and we will eliminate them as quickly as possible and try to avoid making noises, understand?"

The two women nodded at the same time, and Cheng Ling quietly touched forward.

When they reached the edge of the space, their eyes signaled, and the three of them burst out, rushing out in an instant, and in an instant, more than a dozen monks were all killed, without making a sound. Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction, dragged the corpses of those monks to the corner and hid them, and began to look at the situation in the space.

A circular space with three passages directly in front of it. Those monks just now were obviously shuttling between the passages. But where do these three passages lead? Cheng Ling came to the passage, squatted down, and observed carefully.

In the first passage, there are many footprints ahead, and there should be more people entering and fewer people coming out. The second passage is almost the same as the front and back, and there are still some black-gray residues on the edge of the footprints, and the third passage has the fewest footprints, only four, and the traces are very shallow, and it is difficult to find without careful observation.

The two women watched him keep observing at the entrance of the three passages, curious, but they didn't dare to disturb, just stood aside and waited silently.

Cheng Ling stood up and said, "Of the three passages, the one in the middle should be the safest, let's enter from here first, and then turn back after the exploration is completed." ”

Bai Yiyi asked curiously, "Why?"

Cheng Ling said: "Come with me, I'll tell you slowly." ”

The two women followed him into the passage, and Cheng Ling explained: "Among the three passages, the passage in the middle has the most footprints, indicating that people come and go frequently, and there are black and gray residues on the ground. This cave is a volcanic lava cave, and there are debris indicating that the soles of these people's feet have been contaminated. ”

"Think about it, if it's a high-level person, will their residence be built in a place with a lot of debris?"

"Of course not!"

"Therefore, there must be the most monks in this passage, and their cultivation will not be very high, we can easily annihilate them!"

Bai Yiyi was impressed, just looking at the footprints, so much content can be analyzed, how does Cheng Ling's head look like this?

Gu Youlan's eyes rippled, and Cheng Ling became more and more mysterious in her eyes.

The three of them slowly walked into the depths. Sure enough, it didn't take long for both goddesses to discover a huge lava cave in the passage, and in the lava cave, many monks talked loudly, drinking, gambling, bragging, and so on.

Although there are a large number of monks, their cultivation is not high, only a few are in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and the rest are Jindan and Zhuji monks. The two girls glanced at Cheng Ling with admiration, and they were really right by him.

Cheng Ling smiled, raised her eyebrows proudly, and moved her hands together, laying down several prohibitions behind her. He said lightly: "Okay, even if the gongs and drums are beating inside, the people outside can't hear it, these monks are our first batch of souls under the sword!"

A cold gaze appeared in the eyes of the three of them at the same time, like a tiger out of a box, rushing into the group of monks. Hundreds of monks didn't react at all, their sword qi was rampant, and in an instant, more than half of them died. The rest of the monks were stunned, and it was unbelievable that they had been slain like chickens in their lair.

"Run!"

I don't know which monk shouted, and everyone fled one after another, but as soon as they ran into the passage, they were blocked by a blockade, and they couldn't rush out at all.

"Come on, the enemy is in!"

"Elder, hall master, help!"

Let them shout through their throats, and there is no response. Cheng Ling ignored it and continued to kill the monks in the molten cave.

Bai Yiyi glanced at him and muttered, "He was counted again, it's really ......!"

With a stick of incense, all the monks in the molten cave were killed. Cheng Ling's hand moved, the gravitational technique was cast, and hundreds of storage rings floated in midair.

"Miss Yiyi, Senior Sister Gu, let's divide these rings!"

Bai Yiyi pursed her lips and said, "As for these people's rings, I am not rare, you can keep them yourself!"

Gu Youlan also shook her head gently.

Cheng Ling sighed secretly, the eldest lady is really strong, and the ant legs are also meat! Since you don't want it, I will accept it all. With a wave of his hand, he put away all the rings in the air.

The three of them looked at the lava cave and saw that there were many portals around it, which were densely opened, which should be the dwellings of these monks. Cheng Ling picked a portal and walked in, there were very few things inside, only a meditating futon, and some bits and pieces.

He put it away casually, and lost interest in the other portals, which were just low-grade materials and not very expensive. Presumably, most of the other portals are like this, so there is no need to waste time. Moreover, the wealth of the monk is generally in the storage ring, and now the income is tenth**.

Turning around and walking out of the door, Bai Yiyi asked, "Next, where are we going?"

Cheng Ling pondered a little and said, "Let's go back and enter the first passage, the harvest there will definitely be greater!"
