In the huge main hall of Huoling Peak, Wu Shiming was nowhere to be seen, only two uninvited guests.
Xiao Hongchen stood at the door with a very alert look on his face, as if he was on guard to prevent anyone from entering the place.
Demon Lord Qingyun, on the other hand, looked quite at ease.
Not long ago, he put his hands behind his back and looked into the eyes of the statue of the Patriarch of Huolingfeng for a moment.
During this period, he had a vague feeling of being spied on, but this feeling passed quickly. When he took a closer look, he found that the eyes of the statue of the Patriarch were just like Gu Jing Wubo, without any abnormalities.
"strangeness......."
Qingyun Demon Lord's heart was filled with tears, but Xiaoxiao Hongchen was a little impatient and urged him at the door.
"Haha, after all these years, you are still so impatient..."
Demon Lord Qingyun smiled and looked away from the face of the statue of the Patriarch.
Xiao Hongchen had a cold expression on his face, glanced at him, and said sarcastically: "Did you get scared out of your wits last night? Now you look like a snake, everything seems to be wrong? There are only you and me in the whole hall, if you are
If you're afraid, let's go home as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Demon Lord Qingyun's face became a little gloomy.
"Ye Hongwu, are you deliberately mocking me? Let me tell you, if I hadn't been afraid of Lu Qinghe last night, that little thief would have died in my hands!"
"Is it useful to say this?" Xiao Hongchen sneered: "Not only did they ruin your plan, but they were not discovered by Lu Qinghe in the end, and they are still alive and well. This is the biggest irony for you."
Demon Lord Qingyun's face was ashen.
"That boy, sooner or later I will find him and peel off his skin to vent my hatred!"
"It's just a quick talk." Xiao Hongchen continued to sarcastically say.
Demon Lord Qingyun came back to his senses at this time, glanced at the other party, and sneered: "Ye Hongwu, you don't have to think about disturbing my state of mind. To tell you the truth, if this kid hadn't disturbed my actions last night, I would have
I won’t change my plan to ask for your help. In this way, you will never know the whereabouts of Heng’er, so if you really want to talk about it, you have to thank him!”
"you!"
Speaking of "Heng'er", Xiao Hongchen's expression changed instantly, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his mood was obviously fluctuating.
Demon Lord Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: "Sure enough, 'Heng'er' is the key point of this silly woman. It's ridiculous that this woman wielded a sword to cut off love, but she didn't cut off the love between mother and son. After all, she is still my plaything."
The two of them were silent for a while. Xiao Hongchen regained his composure and said coldly: "This is an important place in Huolingfeng. Although I don't know where Wu Shiming went, he may come back at any time. If you think it's too much time,
, you can just chat here, I will accompany you till the end."
After hearing this, Demon Lord Qingyun smiled slightly and said softly: "Ye Hongwu, the two of us were in harmony back then. We haven't seen each other for many years. I wonder if you and I still have that kind of tacit understanding?"
"Fuck your shit!"
Xiao Hongchen said angrily: "Just tell me what you want me to do, don't play tricks in front of me!"
"hey-hey."
Demon Lord Qingyun laughed twice, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly in the hall.
"Gan Daozi, the founder of Wuzhuang Mountain, 'transformed five spirits into one spirit' and passed down five kinds of spiritual things, namely Yuan Zhen water, Yuan Zhen soil, Yuan Zhen fire, Yuan Zhen wood and Yuan Zhen gold. This time the Canglong Tribulation, on the surface, the
We are polite, but in fact, we are secretly on guard. He wants to use the 'Anti-Five Elements Universe Purple Mansion Formation' to trap us so that we cannot leave the array when he is going through the tribulation. The core thing that traps us is the one just now
The five spiritual beings mentioned.”
Xiao Hongchen said nothing, but looked at the other person with cold eyes, obviously waiting for him to continue talking.
Only the voice of Demon Lord Qingyun sounded again:
"There are five kinds of spiritual objects, corresponding to five small formations. Once the 'Anti-Five Elements Universe Purple Mansion Formation' is in operation, we will never be able to get out. However, I have mastered the secrets of the witchcraft by chance, and I can give them in advance.
This kind of spiritual creature casts a curse. As long as it falls under my spell, when the formation is in motion, I will be able to break the seal."
"Canglong arranged me and Gui Wuqi in the 'Water Element Formation'. According to my original plan, I planned to sneak into the valley of 'Darcissus Ridge' and cast an underwater curse on Yuan Zhen. Unfortunately, a person who got in the way came out and disturbed me.
plan. After what happened last night, the guards at Narcissus Ridge have been strengthened, and Lu Qinghe is personally in charge of the valley. There is no chance at all. So I can only choose another way to let you
Come to Huoling Peak and help me."
When Demon Lord Qingyun said this, he glanced at Xiao Hongchen opposite him and said with a smile: "Hongwu, my witch sect's secret technique is traceless and the people in Wuzhuang Mountain will never find it. Please help me find the Yuan Zhenhuo."
Come out, I have a way to allow you to move freely when Canglong transcends the tribulation."
"Huh, I don't need this benefit."
After listening to his explanation, Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly: "Canglong asked me to help him overcome the tribulation, and the benefits were generous. I am not like some people who have evil intentions and want to do some tricks when others are going through the tribulation.
"
"Hahaha!"
Demon Lord Qingyun laughed: "Hongwu, I know you don't want to offend Wuzhuang Mountain, but for Heng'er, you can still do this little thing, right? When Canglong overcomes the tribulation, you can use
That magic weapon......"
"enough."
Xiao Hongchen interrupted him.
"I will only help you this time. If I don't see Heng'er, I will definitely hunt you to the ends of the earth!"
While speaking, the woman slowly walked to the center of the hall.
I saw her hands clasping together, and a plum blossom pattern lit up between her eyebrows. With the movement of her spiritual power, the plum blossom suddenly bloomed and turned into hundreds of blue butterflies, flying out from between her eyebrows.
These butterflies are only about the size of a palm, flapping their wings and flying back and forth in the hall, as if they are looking for something.
After a while, Xiao Hongchen's eyes flashed and he looked at the statue of his ancestor in the distance.
It was a statue of a red-haired old man, with eight inverted eyebrows, a heavy jujube face, fierce eyes, and a ferocious face. If it were not in the main hall of Huoling Peak, it would be difficult to imagine that this is the ancestor of the Lord of the Fire Department of Wuzhuang Mountain, Gan Daozi
One of the five direct disciples!
Xiao Hongchen seemed to have found something. With a change of technique in his hands, hundreds of blue butterflies landed in front of the statue of the ancestor.
A pale blue aura enveloped the entire statue.
Soon, a strange phenomenon appeared in the right hand of the statue, and a complex rune appeared in the palm of the hand.
"It turns out that the seal is in the right hand of the statue!"
Seeing this scene, Demon Lord Qingyun showed a look of surprise on his face.
"I didn't expect Wu Shiming's seal to be so mysterious. Fortunately, you are here. 'Butterfly Transformation Technique' is indeed an excellent secret technique for finding hidden things. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to find the seal of 'Original True Fire'
place."
Facing Demon Lord Qingyun's compliment, Xiao Hongchen had no expression on his face and was still concentrating on casting spells.
As her spells continued to be played, the blue butterflies in the air flew to the right hand of the statue one after another. These butterflies seemed to be made of water. As soon as they touched the right hand of the statue, they disappeared without a trace.
No trace.
And the sealing power of the statue's right hand seems to be getting weaker and weaker under the erosion of the butterflies...
Finally, after ten breaths, the seal on the right hand of the statue was completely released, and a crimson flame appeared in the palm of the hand!
"Yuan Zhenhuo!"
Demon Lord Qingyun shrank slightly and walked forward impatiently.
"This thing is also a treasure. It's a pity that I can't take it away now, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of Master Canglong."
Demon Lord Qingyun sighed and stood still in front of the statue of his ancestor.
He made secrets with his left hand and drew talisman with his right hand.
One by one, extremely mysterious runes appeared out of thin air like bamboo shoots after a rain. As Demon Lord Qingyun continued to play out his spells, these runes flew into the "Original True Fire" one after another...
Every scene in the main hall was watched by Liang Yan and You Yue.
They have now figured out their situation. It turns out that the end of the trial road is actually located in the statue of the Patriarch of the Fire Department!
Just now, Liang Yan looked at Demon Lord Qingyun through the eyes of the statue of his ancestor, but the latter didn't notice at all.
This shows that they can see the situation in the main hall through the eyes of the statue, but Demon Lord Qingyun and Xiao Hongchen cannot see the situation inside the statue.
"interesting......."
Liang Yan looked at the scene in front of him with a thoughtful expression on his face.
This situation and scene seem familiar.
Just last night, when Liang Yan sneaked into the Narcissus Ridge Valley, he saw the same man in black robe.
At that time, he wanted to cast an underwater curse on Yuan Zhen, one of the "Five Spirits", but was interrupted by Liang Yan, and finally attracted Lu Qinghe.
Now Liang Yan can finally be sure that the man in black robe is Demon Lord Qingyun!
For unknown reasons, this person wanted to take action when Canglong was going through the tribulation, but he knew that Canglong didn't trust the twelve transformation tribulations, and the "Anti-Five Elements Universe Purple Mansion Formation" was just to trap everyone when he was going through the tribulation.
, so he would cast a curse on the "Yuanzhen Water" in advance.
Because he and Gui Wuqi were both placed in the "Water Element Formation", as long as the spell was successfully cast, they would have a way to move freely when the Canglong passed through the tribulation.
Unexpectedly, this plan was foiled by him. The curse of "Yuanzhen Water" failed. Lu Qinghe strengthened the guards at Narcissus Ridge and even went to the valley himself. Now there was no hope at all.
However, Demon Lord Qingyun did not give up, and he joined forces with Xiao Hongchen, who was in the Twelve Transformations Tribulation, and sneaked into the top of the Fire Spirit Peak, apparently wanting to cast a curse on the "Original True Fire".
In my memory, the two people assigned to the "Fire Formation" were Xiao Hongchen and Yang Fan.
In other words, Demon Lord Qingyun changed his plan and allowed Xiao Hongchen to move freely when Canglong passed through the tribulation, while he was willing to be trapped in the "Water Elemental Formation".
Could Xiao Hongchen help him achieve his goal?
Based on the existing clues, Liang Yan quickly sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Looking at Hongchen's look, he must have been forced to do so. Demon Lord Qingyun was willing to let her out even if he was trapped. Wasn't he afraid that this woman would betray him?
And what is the purpose of Demon Lord Qingyun going to such great lengths?
The answers to these two questions are currently unknown.
However, Liang Yan has no intention of getting to the bottom of it. After all, the success or failure of the Canglong Tribulation has nothing to do with him. What he is more concerned about now is whether the actions of these two people will affect him?
At this moment, in the main hall, Demon Lord Qingyun has a serious face, making secrets with his left hand and drawing talismans with his right hand.
Each and every strange and unpredictable rune mark was driven into the "Original True Fire" by him. The divine fire swayed continuously on the palm of the statue of the Patriarch. From the appearance, there was no change at all, and even the breath did not change.
"I didn't expect the Wumen's secret technique to be so weird. It has been cursed, but the 'Original True Fire' is exactly the same as before, with no flaws at all..." Liang Yan said with emotion.
Nan Youyue, who was next to her, was surprised after hearing this: "What did you say? Wumen? Isn't this line extinct long ago?"
"There is a problem with Demon Lord Qingyun's identity!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "This man has hidden magical powers, and his strength is far beyond what was shown at the banquet. If we really want to fight, even Master Fuhu will not be able to do anything to him!"
There is still a sentence left unsaid. In the fight at Narcissus Ridge last night, this person actually used four different powers of law, and each one was very profound. Fortunately, he was not very skilled in using it, otherwise Liang Yan would have
You must rely on the "Immortal Dragon" to have a chance of survival.
"Something's wrong..." Nan Youyue frowned and said, "Why can't I sense Wu Shiming's aura? This is Fire Spirit Peak. Why isn't he practicing in the cave so late?"
"Did you notice that too?"
Liang Yan said calmly: "Look at Xiao Hongchen. She was very nervous. After entering the hall, she kept guarding the door, as if she was afraid of Wu Shiming's sudden appearance. On the other hand, Demon Lord Qingyun was relaxed and at ease from beginning to end, and didn't seem worried at all.
.”
After hearing this, Nan Youyue said "Ah!" with a "Sure enough" expression on her face.
"Yes, that's what happened. That Demon Lord Qingyun seems to be confident."
"Is there a possibility that he already knew that Wu Shiming had left Huoling Peak, and also knew that he would not be back in a short time?" Liang Yan guessed.
After hearing this, Nan Youyue's face changed slightly.
"If this is really the case, then Demon Lord Qingyun is too terrifying..."
"hehe."
Liang Yan smiled slightly and said: "The water in Wuzhuang Mountain is too deep. There are twelve tribulations on the surface, and people like you and me exist secretly. This is a chaos. No matter how the situation changes, I will not
It would be too surprising.”
You Yue heard something in his words, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly whispered:
"I came here not for my own selfish reasons, but to verify something..."
Liang Yan's heart moved, and he was about to continue asking, but suddenly he heard a muffled sound coming from the main hall.
boom!
It seemed like the sound of the palace door being pushed open.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked out through the eyes of the statue of their ancestor. They saw in the vermilion red hall, a blood-red long knife flew in from outside the hall, full of murderous intent, and went straight to the back of Demon Lord Qingyun.
go.
Demon Lord Qingyun is using the secret technique of the witchcraft, and it is now at a critical juncture.
Of course he heard the strange noise behind him, but now his hands were still making talismans and he couldn't spare any energy to deal with the killing move behind him.
At the critical moment, Xiao Hongchen's expression changed again and again.
Finally, at the moment when the long knife broke through the air, she made a decision.
With the pinch of the magic formula in his hand, the mortal silk silk transformed into a long sword, rushed into the air, and struck a blow with the bloody long sword...
