The stone chamber is not big and the furnishings are very simple. There is almost nothing except a stone bed, stone bench and stone table, and there is not even a window. Because this stone chamber was opened up in the belly of the mountain with Taoist magic. The stone bed, stone bench and stone table are integrated with the top of the ground chamber, without any trace of a knife and axe. It is alive to be a container like a bottle and can, which contains the entire floor. Although the stone wall is faintly red, and the airflow is pulled by some talisman formations on the stone wall, it is not as dark as it is, but once you stay here for too long, ordinary people can still be irritated. Perhaps only the Five Elements Sect monks who built these stone chambers, those monsters who have nothing to do except to concentrate on their practice, can live safely here.

Tang Qingxia was not that kind of monster, but he was very at ease now. Even if no one had paid attention to him for most of the day, there was almost no sound coming to the stone chamber, but he sat cross-legged on the stone bed. The red light on the stone wall reflected more blood and vitality on his originally pale face, which seemed to be much more energetic than the previous few days. In other words, he had never been so energetic in the past five years, and had never been so happy. Even the strong smell of sulfur in the air smelled so refreshing.

Lin Xiaoyan was still with her grandfather, and the depression and gloom along the way had been thrown away somewhere. She had been talking and laughing with her grandfather, and was no different from other grandfathers who had not seen for more than ten years. She even had to be more intimate. This was not only Lin Xiaoyan had never expected it before, but also completely beyond Tang Qingxiao's expectations. Of course, this was a good accident. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a surprise. The better the relationship between Lin Xiaoyan and her grandfather, the more he liked Lin Xiaoyan and the more he valued Lin Xiaoyan, the lighter his concerns about Tang Qingxiao, and the easier it would be to succeed Tang Qingxiao's plan. Therefore, Tang Qingxiao's mood is now.

If there is only concern now, it is the people waiting outside the Tianhuo Mountain.

He knew that there must be someone staying outside, and he also knew that his elder brother, Tang Gongzheng, was also outside. He didn't know what those people would do or what Tang Gongzheng would do. Although he always looked down on this elder brother, there was a vague strange feeling deep in his heart. This elder brother who was not like a disciple of the Tang family, only knew that he could always smash the things he had taken for granted before, making him at a loss. He was afraid and couldn't help but admire him.

This time, he wouldn't be able to slash in with that terrible force, right? Tang Qing chuckled. Of course, the preparations he had done in advance were not as much as the Treasure Hunt Alliance, and he knew less information, but as long as he knew, Tianhuoshan was the main hall of the Tianhuo Sect. It was the base that had been passed down from the ancient Five Elements Sect to this day. He could not see the wonder of the huge fireballs that were straight out of miles, but from the calm expressions on the faces of other people in the Tianhuo Sect, they could clearly know that people outside would never have the chance to break in.

Now, what is left now is to wait quietly for the day of sacrifice and refining the spirit fire, and wait quietly for the day he has been waiting for more than five years.

So boring, boring, hard to bear, and almost desperate, I have been through more than five years of life day by day. Now, this waiting full of hope has naturally become a kind of enjoyment. Thinking of this, Tang Qingxiao couldn't help but laugh again.

Knocking. A few light sounds sounded outside the door of the stone chamber. It seemed that someone was knocking on the stone door with his knuckles. It should be someone from the Tianhuo Sect. Tang Qingxiao hurriedly said: "Please come in."

The stone gate slid to the side, and a man walked in with a smile on his face.

As soon as he saw this person, Tang Qingxiao immediately widened his eyes and opened his mouth, and even his mind was blank. Even when he saw his elder brother Tang Gongzheng in that small town, he was not so surprised. Because it might have been a coincidence, it was already impossible for this person to appear here.

The person who came in was naturally Xiao Xia. He looked at Tang Qingxia who was stunned on the stone bed with a smile, and looked like a familiar guest. He walked straight to the stone bench and sat down, held the kettle above and poured himself a glass of water for the rest of his life, and asked, "You are the only one? Is Miss Lin with her grandfather now?"

"You...you..." Tang Qingxia had not yet come back from the extreme horror, but could only look at Xiao Xia foolishly. After a brief blank, he turned his mind and had hundreds of thoughts and made countless guesses and assumptions. He even recalled that Xiao Xia appeared in front of him six years ago in the branch of the Jingzhou Tianhuo Sect, and a chill rose inexplicably from his back. "...you...how did you come in? How could you get in here? Could you...you...really..."

"Don't worry, just like six years ago, I'm not here to grab things from you." Xiao Xia drank the glass of water in one sip.

"You...you...how did you come in?" Tang Qingxia cared about this most.

Xiao Xia poured another glass of water, drank it, and replied: "Ground Escape Technique."

Tang Qing's chuckling face finally looked a little better. At least he knew that Tang Gongzheng would never use the unearthed escape technique. Even the magic props such as Lingguang Talisman, which are specially used by those who learn martial arts, would never be able to do such a brilliant Taoist technique as the Five Elements Escape. But his horror still did not completely fade: "... Can Tianhuo Mountain escape in so simply with earth escape?"

"Of course it's not simple. I spent two hours underground. Fortunately, I still know a little about the formation of the Tianhuo Sect, otherwise I might not be able to come out." Xiao Xia drank the third cup of water. When he was underground, he almost flowed through the flowing magma for two hours. Fortunately, without the support of the Earth-Practice Taoism, the lava flow under the large position was greatly alleviated and it was not a formation. There were many loopholes. However, the high temperature in the surrounding soil still made him almost faint. The sweat on his body immediately evaporated, and it all formed a layer of white salt frost on his body. He could hardly bear it several times, but fortunately, he finally figured out the secret of the formation clearly, and then he got up. Now he was thirsty.

"... Then how could you find this place? How did you know I'm here?"

"I saw below that the earth fire molten gold array was operating with all its strength. The twelve masters who practiced the Fire Way Dharma were divided into six groups of hubs, controlling all the Fire Way Qi to gather in the middle of the lava pool in the center of the formation. Only here and another place with a slight subtle fire energy was used to operate some extremely small formations. I had seen it in the branch of the Tianhuo Sect in Jingzhou, which was to ventilate and illuminate the accommodation where the guests lived, and the Tianhuo Sect did not need these places. In other words, there were guests in these two places, and in the other place, there was a master of Fire Way Dharma that I could feel even underground, so I naturally guessed that you were here."

Xiao Xia said it lightly. In fact, when he was underground just now, most of his kung fu was put on this. Thanks to his understanding of the formation of the Tianhuo Sect. He wanted to break his head and saw some clues from the subtle changes of the formation. Although the Tianhuo Sect cannot be said to be a frightened bird, once he finds an outsider suddenly popping up at home, it is impossible to have a good conversation and communicate first, at least he should arrest him and torture him first. This time he came in just to investigate, and the most important thing was to come to Tang Qingxiao. If he hadn't found it right, he would never dare to show up.

He said all these things in detail, and wanted to explain them clearly to Tang Qingxiao. After sacrificing so much time and lurking through so many people, Tang Qingxia's vigilance had definitely reached a peak. Xiao Xia didn't want to put his safety on the word "friend" that was just a thin word.

"...what are you here to do?"

"..." Drinking the fourth glass of water, Xiaoxia sighed contentedly, thought for a while, and said, "...it's probably the same as six years ago, I'm here to persuade you to stop."

"Stop? What hand?" Tang Qing smiled, his laughter and smile were sharp and cold like a knife.

Xiao Xia said lightly: "It's just to stop, stop, and stop, and stop doing it."

"Why? Why?" Tang Qingxia stood up, his eyes as lightning as lightning. He looked at Xiao Xia tightly. "Why do you want me to stop? Why do you think I will stop?"

"...Because this Zhuque Spirit Fire is a trap. Your old man wants your brother to come, and he wants him to see who is trying to make a trap. He is chasing him all the way back, and he wants you to stop and take you back."

"...Are you here with my brother?" Tang Qing squinted his eyes.

"Yes. I promised him and came here to advise you."

"How many days have you known my brother? You took such a great risk to sneak into such a dangerous place?" Tang Qing's chuckling voice calmed down. "Do you know what the outcome will happen if you are discovered by the Tianhuo Sect? Or... What will happen if I recruit people from the Tianhuo Sect?"

"Of course I know." Xiao Xia nodded and smiled. "You will never ask people from the Tianhuo Sect to come. At most, you can just silence me by yourself. Aren't you afraid that I will speak out your identity and purpose?"

"... Then why are you still here?" Tang Qingxiao looked at him coldly.

"Because I promised your brother that I would come here to persuade you to stop."

"...What benefits did he promise you? Is it one thousand taels or two thousand taels this time?" Tang Qing smiled ugly.

"He didn't give me anything, he just asked me for help. I thought he was a friend. So he came."

Tang Qingxiao suddenly stepped forward, and his voice suddenly became sharp: "...I also think you are my friend. I once asked you for help, but you said you had something to do and refused. Now that my brother asked you for help, you are taking such a big risk? Why?"

Xiao Xia was stunned, but she didn't expect Tang Qingxia to care about this so much. After thinking about it, she said, "...because I don't like what you do either. The fourth brother's demeanor is heartbreaking. He thinks I am a friend, so I help him, it's that simple."

Tang Qing's chuckling face suddenly turned red, angry, unwilling, violent, and jealous, twisting his originally handsome and beautiful face to a little terrifying. He suddenly used his desperate suppression to roar, "Why? Why do everyone think he is better than me? The old man thinks he is better than me, everyone thinks he is better than me, and even you think he is better than me?"

Xiao Xia couldn't help but stroke his forehead with his hands. It seems that Tang Qingxiao has not grown up at all in the past six years, and maybe he is even more childish. He paused and said without saying anything. After the excitement on Tang Qingxiao's face slowly dissipated a few minutes, he said, "I don't know what you are doing in Tangjiabao. I don't need to pay attention to whether the Fourth Brother is better than you. I just want to ask, what do you want the Suzaku Spirit Fire to do?"

Tang Qingxiao took a deep breath, then gradually calmed down, and snorted coldly and asked, "...This Vermillion Bird Fire is a little innate true spirit fire. The elves in the fire burn all things to sublimate all things. It is the treasure for practicing Taoism and refining weapons. How rare and precious are you? Do you still need me, a martial artist, to tell you?"

"Of course I know this is a treasure. But what I asked is what you want the Suzakuhuo to do? Send it to Tangjiabao? Do you think this matter is known to everyone in the world now. Is your old man willing to ask for this thing?"

"...Of course the old man wouldn't really want this thing..." Tang Qingxiao knew better than Xiao Xia. The Tang Sect was very high-profile when doing things. It was cruel, harsh, and decisive, and it was sure to make people afraid to hear it. However, the Tang family was very low-key, gloomy, and habitually staying in the shadows that were unattractive. Although this kind of thing that had already caused trouble was precious, it was not a necessary thing. Even if the Tang family really got it, it would only send it out immediately. However, the light in his eyes did not weaken in half. "...but it was this kind of critical fire that could make everyone understand that I was the most talented disciple of the Tang Sect generation, and the person who was truly qualified to enter the inner sect and receive the Tang family's mantle."

"...It turns out that you have been lurking for more than five years and deceived so many people just to make others recognize you." Xiao Xia nodded. Tang Qing chuckled and of course he understood it a long time ago. "But what does this mean? Whether others admit you or not, what do you think of you? What does this have to do with yourself?"

"How could it be okay?" Tang Qingxia looked at Xiaoxia for some reason. "I have worked hard in Tangjiabao for so many years to be included in the inner sect by the old master. In the future, I will be a famous Tang family member. But when my illegitimate brother came back, he took away all the things that should belong to me, but he still looked indifferent! I just want to be for the old master and for everyone to see. I am the real Tang family member!"

"...So you tried every means to find out the life experience of Miss Lin Xiaoyan and find a way to lurk beside her for five years?"

"Yes." Tang Qing chuckled and couldn't help but pursed a smile. The forbearance over the past five years has finally been in exchange for today's success. He really couldn't suppress his excitement. "...Because of the Zhuque Spirit Fire, the foundation of the Tianhuo Sect has been clearly explored by people in the martial arts world. I could only find another way and spent two months through our Tang family channels. There is also news from Qingyulou. Finally, I found out that Jin Zhiyang, the leader of the Tianhuo Sect, had a daughter before he entered the Tianhuo Sect. The daughter later married to a small escort agency next to Xuzhou, and died after giving birth to a daughter. In other words, Jin Zhiyang actually has a granddaughter, the only bone blood."

"Of course, it's not a great thing to be just a granddaughter. It's well known that the people of the Tianhuo Sect have been practicing deep in their hearts and ruthlessness. But I didn't give up and went there to see it myself, but inadvertently found something very interesting - I often entrust the escort agency to a business, but it was actually a gang under the branch of the Tianhuo Sect. This doesn't seem to be a special clue, but my intuition feels that something must be strange. So I tried to lurk in the escort agency and waited until this time."

The smile on Tang Qingxiao's face became more and more obvious, happier, the light in her eyes became brighter, and even her breathing became thicker: "Facts proved that my intuition was right. Until today I realized that Jin Zhiyang used to visit Xiaoyan secretly for a few days every year, and he would play with her, but he set rules with Xiaoyan and could not tell others. Xiaoyan's silly girl really never told anyone, and I didn't even tell me. I was wondering if Xiaoyan had asked me before if there were gods in this world who would come to play with the children, and the children wouldn't come when they grew up. I didn't expect it to be like this. It turned out that Jin Zhiyang really didn't let go of this relationship. This is my vision, my intuition. No one in the world wanted to get this method. Only I thought of it and did it!"

Compared with Tang Qingxia's increasingly hot eyes and voice, Xiaoxia's expression was so plain and cold from beginning to end. After Tang Qingxia finished speaking, he nodded and said, "I finally understood why Miss Mingyue said you were a bad person at that time. It turned out that you could have easily cleaned up the horse thief leader. You deliberately made the situation critical, just want to try if there are people from the Tianhuo Sect who are watching and protecting you secretly?"

"...You are right, even those horse thieves were attracted by me. I quietly used the Qingyulou channel to send messages out. There was a valuable secret flag to go to Jizhou quietly, just to try whether it was as I expected. Unfortunately, although the purpose of this escort that Jin Zhiyang asked someone to send was actually Xiaoyan, he did not send someone to protect him..."

"...It turns out that Miss Mingyue is really smart and has a sharp eye. Although she doesn't know the world, she can see people's hearts in a straightforward way..." Xiao Xia shook her head and sighed. "It's a pity that I didn't understand it at that time, and she even wronged her..."
