There is a majestic mansion in Wolf King City. Two white lanterns hang high in front of the door. Nearly a thousand people are busy going back and forth in the yard. One luxurious carriage after another, or an eight-person sedan, appear outside the gate of the mansion from time to time.
People dressed in noble clothes slowly stepped out of the carriage. These people were all affiliates of the Chen family, which managed business in several surrounding cities. They also received messages from the Chen family headquarters and rushed back in time to participate.
The funeral of nearly 500 members of the Chen family.
In the courtyard of the Chen family, there are currently five hundred coffins placed, all of which are children of the Chen family who were killed in the Wolf King City massacre three days ago. And in the hall of the mourning hall, there are three rather luxurious copper coffins inlaid with gold.
Two of the coffins are Chen Yuanfang, the eldest elder of the Chen family, and Chen Yuanhua, the fourth elder.
But because these two people died without complete corpses, they simply prepared a piece of clothing and put it in. The larger coffin in the middle was the current patriarch of the Chen family. This person also poisoned himself three days ago.
Hair and death.
The funeral was slowly held in an atmosphere of extreme sadness. The two remaining elders of the Chen family stepped forward to recite their condolences. But at this moment, a man with a red face, a bright face, and piercing eyes appeared.
A man about forty years old with all white hair came outside the mourning hall, followed by ten sturdy cultivators wearing black clothes and carrying giant battle axes.
"See you, ancestor!" The Chen family, nearly a thousand people present, knelt down and worshiped the man the moment they saw him.
With a hint of coldness in his eyes, Chen Chong glanced at everyone coldly and said calmly: "Everyone, get up!"
"Yes!" Everyone in the Chen family agreed in unison and stood up one after another.
"The Wolf Shadow Ten Guards have informed me of what happened three days ago in detail." Chen Chong's words were plain, without any emotion. He just glanced at the nearly five hundred coffins in the yard and said: "This is
It’s a disgrace to the Chen family. So many people have died, but those two evil obstacles are still not left behind. How can you have the shame to stand here?!"
"Ancestor, calm down, we will realize our mistake!" Everyone in the Chen family trembled in their hearts and quickly begged for mercy.
Although Chen Chong's expression has always been calm, people who know Chen Chong's character know that Chen Chong was furious, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash!" Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Chong became more and more angry. He snorted coldly and said: "From now on, I will temporarily assume the position of clan leader. Send an order to inform the disciples of the Chen family in all cities to hunt down the Qing Gang's members with all their strength.
Witches, report them immediately as soon as they are discovered, I will make them pay with blood!"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison, stood up and retreated, and passed on the order according to Chen Chong's instructions...
Xiaoyu and Qingqing were driving as fast as they could on a road that was deserted, barren of grass, and littered with rocks. Three days had passed since they left Qucheng.
"Qingqing!" Xiaoyu glanced at the gray stone tablet in his hand and shouted.
"What did you find?" Qingqing came to Xiaoyu's side and asked with doubts in her eyes.
Xiaoyu glanced at the desolate scenery with rocks and no grass growing all around, and said: "The map stops here, let's check it first!"
"Okay." Qingqing nodded slightly, pointed to the west, and said, "I'll go there."
"Yes." Xiaoyu nodded, released his soul power, and began to explore the ground bit by bit.
Time flies, the sun gradually sets in the west, and a piece of sunset appears in the sky. Xiaoyu stretches his waist and looks at the sweaty Qingqing in front of him, who is looking for him seriously. He walks over with a smile and says: "How is it?"
"What's wrong? This map can't be fake, right?" Qingqing shook her head, her eyes a little disappointed.
"Maybe?" Xiao Yu was also a little unsure. After all, he got this picture from a street stall.
"Let's take a rest!" Qingqing's eyes glanced around, locked on a huge stone about ten feet in size, and was completely black, and walked over.
"That's fine!" Xiao Yu nodded, releasing his soul power for a long time, even he was a little bit too much, let alone Qing Qing.
Qingqing slowly sat down leaning on the black boulder, but at this moment, the black boulder suddenly moved. Qingqing jumped up almost as a reflex, staring at the black boulder warily with a pair of starry eyes.
"Xiaoyu..."
"Well, I saw it."
Xiaoyu came over and looked at the black boulder carefully for a moment, and suddenly felt that it looked familiar. He took out the gray stone plate and took a look at it, and found that there was also such a black boulder at the end of the map recorded on the gray stone plate.
"Qingqing, I think we found it." Xiao Yu walked over, pressed his hands on the black boulder, and pushed it slowly.
"Rumble..." The black boulder moved slowly towards the left, and a hole about ten feet in size gradually appeared clearly in their eyes.
"Are you sure this is here?" Looking at the stone steps winding down inside the cave entrance, Qingqing was still a little doubtful.
"Maybe, I'll go down and take a look first." Xiao Yu looked at the darkness in the cave and was a little unsure.
"I'd better go down with you, so that I can take care of you." Qingqing walked to Xiao Yu's side, and gently took Xiao Yu's generous palm with her soft, boneless hands.
Feeling the smoothness in his palm, Xiaoyu rubbed his thumb unconsciously a few times, then pulled Qingqing and walked down the stone steps.
Qingqing's pretty face was slightly red, and her heart was like a deer bumping into each other. She took the initiative to hold Xiao Yu's hand because it was dark inside the cave to prevent the two from getting separated, but she didn't want Xiao Yu to be so bold and take advantage of her.
But Qingqing doesn't mean to blame, and even hopes that this moment can last longer. Once a woman opens her heart to someone, she will be like a surging river, out of control!
However, Qingqing knew in her heart that there would be no outcome between her and Xiao Yu, because she was a rare phantom poison body in the world, and she was destined to use her body as a cauldron to refine all poisons!
Xiaoyu's thoughts at this moment were all focused on the strange fire, which was the foundation for him to become a strong man, and he was completely unaware of the changes in Qingqing's heart.
The two people walked down the stone steps that were thousands of meters deep and finally appeared in a passage.
The passage is endless and winding, and is made of a jade that is as bright as gold. There is a moonstone inlaid on the wall one meter apart, which illuminates the entire passage as bright as day. A faint light
The scorching heat blew from the end of the passage, and the temperature was twice as high as on the ground.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yu warned Qing Qing, subconsciously loosened his grip on Qing Qing and walked forward.
"Alas..." Qingqing's eyes were a little disappointed and she stared at Xiaoyu's back for a long time before Lianhua moved to catch up.
The further you go inside, the temperature of the passage becomes higher and higher, the walls on both sides are even hotter, and heat waves blow from time to time, as if you are in a sea of fire.
Even with the strength of Xiao Yu and Qing Qing, they had to use their strength to resist this boring heat. After a few more minutes, a "rumbling" sound reached the ears of Xiao Yu and Qing Qing.
"This is..." Xiaoyu frowned slightly and glanced at Qingqing.
"Magma!" Qingqing also came to the same guess as Xiaoyu.
With thousands of meters of underground and the scorching temperatures all around, it is impossible for underground rivers to exist. So there is only one answer, and that is underground magma. Only underground magma can make such a roaring sound when it flows.
"I'll go to the front to investigate the situation. You wait here first." Xiaoyu thought for a moment and thought of a more appropriate solution.
"Be careful!" Qingqing took out two defensive charms from the storage bag and put them in Xiaoyu's hands. He said in a clear voice: "If anything happens, please notify me immediately."
"Well, be careful here!" In order to reassure Qingqing, Xiaoyu put away the charm and continued deeper alone.
Qing Qing stared at Xiao Yu quietly, as if she had a thousand words in her heart. It wasn't until his figure disappeared that she recovered her mind and began to carve a mysterious source pattern on the ground of the passage to support Xiao Yu's retreat.
Xiaoyu was sweating like rain all over his body. Even after releasing the source shield, he still felt unbearably hot. The temperature in the passage was already nearly a thousand degrees. If Xiaoyu's physique hadn't been different from ordinary people, he might have been unable to withstand it long ago.
.
"Rumble..." After a few minutes of walking, the sound of lava got closer and closer, and soon Xiaoyu appeared at a corner at the end of the passage.
"Be careful, there is someone ahead!" Xiao Lin suddenly warned.
Hearing this, Xiaoyu leaned against the hot wall, slowly poked his head out, and quickly glanced inside.
This is a collapsed palace. Several tall stone pillars fell to the ground full of cracks. Bluestone and broken tiles are scattered everywhere. The golden and jade ground has lost its luster and has become pitted. It is like a ruins, but it is not ugly.
Yes, this place was once glorious.
A rushing river of magma passed by the ruined palace, like a dragon, roaring continuously, sometimes turning up hot waves, picking up one or two pieces of gravel, sinking into it, and flowing into the distance.
On the shore of the magma, two people, an old man and a young man, were standing. The old man had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and was dressed in a golden robe. On his left chest, there were four golden wine cauldrons embroidered on them.
The fair-faced, rather handsome young man also wore a golden robe, with three golden wine cauldrons embroidered on his left chest.
"Bartender!" Looking at the old man and the young man beside the lava, Xiaoyu exclaimed in his heart.
Wine masters are a symbol of nobility, and they are also a special race that needs to be looked up to and worshiped by everyone. They are the richest special race on the continent, and people who can become wine masters can be said to be rare, but Xiao Yu can see it all at once in this dilapidated underground palace.
Two arrived.
Not to mention the old man, the four golden tripods on his sommelier's robe have already revealed his identity, but the young man looks to be a few years older than Xiao Yu, but he is a genuine third-level sommelier.
Xiaoyu, who has always been proud of his outstanding sommelier talent, also felt a little nervous.
"Hehe, don't worry, if you work hard now, it will come soon!" As if he could see what Xiao Yu was thinking, Xiao Lin comforted him with a smile.
"However, they are not the only two here!" Xiao Lin then said something incomprehensible.
"What do you mean, is there a third person?" Xiao Yu frowned slightly and searched around the dilapidated palace, but found none.
"Don't worry, that guy is hiding very secretly. Just wait patiently for a while. I think there should be a good show!" Xiao Lin seemed to have guessed something.
"I hate people like you the most!" Xiao Yu despised Xiao Lin in her heart.
Xiao Lin would arouse Xiao Yu's curiosity almost every time, and then would not explain the matter clearly, which made Xiao Yu want to run away and beat him up every time.
However, before she could figure out the situation at hand, Xiao Yu could only interrupt her thoughts of revenge, hide behind the corner of the passage, and observe quietly.
"Yun'er, I have been waiting here for many days, but there is still no information about the strange fire. Are you trying to deceive me?" The old man asked with a calm face and soft eyes.
"Disciple doesn't dare!" The young man saluted quickly, apologized respectfully, and continued: "But master, please wait a moment, otherwise all these days of preparation will be in vain!"
"Okay, as you said, I'll wait for one day." The old man glanced at the young man lovingly, as if he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, and nodded.
Quietness returned to the palace again. An old man and a young man quietly watched the tumbling magma. After almost a stick of incense, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the surging magma.
"Master!" When the young man saw this, he was immediately shocked.
"You should step back first and wait for me to take a look." The old man's eyes flashed with a bright red light as he looked into the whirlpool.
Hearing this, the young man felt as if he had received an amnesty. He quickly backed away a few meters and then breathed a sigh of relief. However, when the young man looked at the old man, his eyes were filled with coldness instead of any respect.
The old man who was observing the whirlpool in the magma seemed to have noticed the cold eyes of the young man. He turned around in confusion and asked: "Yun'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Do you know? I have been waiting for this day for a long time, so long that I almost gave up. It was not until I found this abandoned underground palace left by my predecessors that my desire for revenge was rekindled!" The young man's eyes were cold.
He was like a monster, with no emotion in his words.
"Yun'er, what are you talking about!" The old man's face was a little angry, but he did not show murderous intent, and his eyes were full of confusion.
"I'm talking nonsense. If it hadn't been for you, would both of my parents have died?!" The young man yelled like crazy!
"Yun'er, don't be blinded by hatred. It was just an accident. I was also seriously injured at that time and was unable to fight anymore. Only then was the fifth-level monster, the Scarlet Flame Tiger King, killed your parents with a dying blow.
Ah, I feel extremely regretful, so I accepted you as my disciple and treated you as my own. Have I ever treated you wrongly over the years?" The old man seemed a little excited and took a few steps forward.
"Don't move!" The young man shouted, took two steps back, and said in a cold voice: "Even if what you said is true, so what, you are still going to die today!"
"Bastard, how could you say such treacherous words? Come back with me!" The old man's eyes widened, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out, like a turbulent wave, and suppressed it towards the young man.
"What are you still doing? Turn on the restriction!" The young man's eyes were frightened, and he yelled in panic.
