Daoying

Chapter 694: Lava Hell - Ashes

"Master, be careful, there is a ban ahead!"

Zhou Feng hurriedly reminded: "Each category of the treasure house has a forbidden defense, and if it is not handled properly, it will trigger the ban of the entire black tower."

"Got it, you leave."

Xie Huan waved his hand, signaling Zhou Feng to step back.

He walked straight to the bronze door, his eyes flashing with silver light, taking in the structure of the door and all the restrictions, and conducting an in-depth analysis.

After a while, Xie Huan reached out and touched the door knocker.

As soon as his fingertips touched the door, all the patterns on the door seemed to be activated, becoming twisted and curved, and turned into colorful little snakes that bit towards Xie Huan's wrist.

Xie Huan's arms turned golden, and he made a hand gesture, tapping the small snakes at an extremely fast speed, killing them one by one.

In an instant, all the little snakes collapsed and turned back into the patterns on the door, as if nothing had happened.

Xie Huan exerted force with his arms again, and with a "click", he pushed the door open.

Zhou Feng's heart was in his throat as he watched from behind, his hands were covered with cold sweat from nervousness. He knew the process of lifting the ban very well. Any negligence would trigger a bigger ban, until the entire Black Tower ban was triggered. Then the whole power of the Po Tian League would be at hand in an instant, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing Xie Huan stepping in, he hurriedly followed.

He was also very curious about what was inside this secret library.

After entering, I was suddenly shocked. Looking at the scene in front of me, I was stunned and speechless.

Countless translucent crystals were suspended in the air, each containing a scroll or jade slip.

The ground is not solid, but is made up of flowing starlight. Stepping on it will cause ripples. The scene around it is constantly changing, sometimes showing a vast starry sky, and sometimes turning into a deep sea whirlpool.

"Is this... space layering?"

Zhou Feng swallowed hard, shocked by the scene before him.

You should know that for a cultivator who has reached the God Transformation stage, space layering is not complicated or difficult to deal with, but its range is not large and it does not last long.

A secret vault like this one has existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and it can still maintain such a vast and boundless spatial layering. In addition to the huge amount of energy it consumes, the sophistication of its structure is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary divine cultivators.

"interesting."

Xie Huan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and the silver light swept over the crystals, then locked onto one of them and touched it with his fingertips.

The crystal immediately turned into a spot of light and dissipated, and the jade slip inside fell out.

Xie Huan took it in his hand and scanned it with his spiritual sense.

Then he let go of his hand, and the jade slip flew back into the air, with crystals condensing around it again.

Just like this, Xie Huan searched for information in this vast space layer, looking through it bit by bit.

His speed was extremely fast, and it only took him a few breaths to finish each jade slip.

Zhou Feng followed behind him, curiously reaching out to take the jade slip, then putting it back, experiencing the novelty.

Suddenly, Xie Huan looked at the empty space, silver light surged in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "There is a lot of missing information here!"

All objects are wrapped in crystals and suspended in the void. Although they will float slightly, they are fixed within a range.

Judging from the arrangement density, at least twenty pieces of data were lost in this space. Zhou Feng was surprised and said, "These materials are extremely old, and almost no one comes here. How could they be lost? Maybe they disappeared a long time ago."

"not necessarily."

Xie Huan closed his eyes slightly, and ran the "Return of the Immortal" to quietly sense the void. "It should be not long ago, a few months, or a few years ago. These data are still there. Think carefully, who has been here during this period of time?"

For a monk, several years are just a blink of an eye.

Zhou Feng looked embarrassed, racking his brains to think, "People come every now and then, but in the past few years..."

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise, "President! President Zhang Yunhua, a few years ago, he came here several times in a row, and each time he looked serious and stayed for a very long time before leaving. I thought it was strange at the time. Now that the master said this, it is very likely that he came here and took away these materials."

"years ago?"

Xie Huan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That makes sense. During that period of time, Xu Wei was helping me investigate the emblem of the Canglong Chamber of Commerce. I'm afraid that it was captured by Zhang Yunhua, so he discovered the secrets hidden in these materials."

Xie Huan's eyes narrowed slightly, he held his chin with one hand, and fell into deep thought.

This is troublesome. If all the information is taken away by Zhang Yunhua, firstly, it will be difficult to retrieve it. Secondly, once Zhang Yunhua knows the secrets inside, he may take further actions, or even have already taken them. I don't know if I can catch up.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and he raised his hand, pinched his fingers together, and a golden sword energy shot towards the void somewhere in the southeast corner.

With a "hiss", the void was pierced and the suspended crystals were pushed away by the air waves.

"what?"

At the end of the sword energy, a surprised voice was heard.

A figure wearing a star-patterned cloak appeared vaguely and dodged along the edge of the sword energy.

This man had red hair and wore a pitch-black robe with countless naked sinners depicted in gold lines. He was hung by iron chains over a boiling lava lake. His skin peeled off inch by inch, revealing his bones, but his flesh and blood were reshaped by the magma over and over again. The hem of his robe was flowing with ripples like molten gold, as if it would drip at any time.

"Daoyin!"

Xie Huan's pupils suddenly shrank and he was surprised.

Judging from the clothes this person in front of him is wearing, he is undoubtedly a Taoist.

Moreover, on this person's left ear, he wore a gear-shaped red copper earring with a molten core gem beating like a heart embedded in the middle, and fine flame patterns extended from the edge of the gear.

“You actually recognized our organization.”

The man chuckled and put away the star pattern cloak on his body. "You can see through the spiritual treasure 'virtual woven cloak'. What kind of spiritual eye ability have you cultivated? It seems that you are definitely not an ordinary person. Tell me your name."

"You are not Daoyin!"

Xie Huan suddenly said, staring at the man's black robe, and said word by word: "Daoyin's black robe depicts the Eighteen Hells. Although your pattern also looks like hell, it is not one of the Eighteen Hells. Who are you? Why are you hiding here, and why are you pretending to be Daoyin's man?"

"Ah, I didn't realize you know quite a bit about this organization."

The man's black robe swung, and he flew closer from a distance until he was in front of Xie Huan. He raised a scornful and arrogant expression on his face, "Who said that the emblem must have the Eighteen Hells? I don't like those scenes, so can't I create my own hell?"

A large amount of fire elements suddenly emerged from his body. His entire body, including his robes and hair, was burning. "My name is Jin Hai, and this is the 'Lava Hell' I created. Boy, do you want to experience it?"

The huge pressure of the fire element rushed towards Xie Huan, and all the nearby crystals trembled violently and were squeezed and scattered in all directions.
