Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 142: Making Wedding Dresses for Others

The strong wind cut his face and the flames rolled. Wuzhan clung to the stone wall of the entrance. His body was lifted up and he could only close his eyes and turn his face away. The figures of Miaoxin and Jinxingzi could no longer be seen as they were completely integrated into the sea of ​​fire. The earth was rumbling.

Such a loud noise is bound to alarm those people in the mansion. Hopefully, it won't cause any more trouble. The most urgent thing is to open the Zhou Ding as soon as possible to check what's inside. However, the entire space has been engulfed in flames. Anything touched by the flames will be burned. They can only wait until the divine fire is completely absorbed by them before they can open it and check.

"Boom..." The top of the wall could no longer withstand the surging cyclone, and a big hole suddenly appeared. The gravel and dust were pushed high into the sky by the cyclone, and the flames immediately ignited them. Fire trees and silver flowers fluttered in the sky, dazzling and colorful.

The cyclone rose, and the air waves at the entrance dropped, reducing the suffocating spiritual pressure slightly. Wuzhan fell limply to the ground, gasping for breath.

The hole was getting bigger and bigger, and the roof of the entire dark room was blown away by the waves of fire. The raging flames shot upward, piercing through the ground three feet high, illuminating the banks of the Wei River. It was the hour of Chou, and the people living by the river were all asleep, and were far away, so few people noticed the strange light.

Miaoxin and Jinxingzi's heads were buzzing and they lost consciousness, but they still had a determination in their hearts that they would never retreat. They stood rigidly at the two poles, burning their own blood and bathing in the sea of ​​fire in the face of extreme death.

Wuzhan saw that the Tai Chi pattern with a diameter of more than ten meters rose to a height of three meters above Zhou Ding. It had begun to slow down slowly. Without hesitation, it crawled towards Zhou Ding with difficulty.

When he was still five meters away from Zhou Ding, he suddenly smelled a fragrance and a red snow-red flower fell in front of Wuzhan. Wuzhan stopped crawling and slowly sat down.

"I heard that there is a short-lived man who broke the seal of Xingtian. He is extremely intelligent, has many strategies, is proficient in military formations, and has exquisite array formations. Today I see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved!" A silver bell-like voice echoed in Wuzhe's ears through the whistling sound.

In front of Wuzhan, red douxue flowers were fluttering in the air, as if red snowflakes were falling, romantic and gorgeous. 'Huahua...' In an instant, they condensed into the shape of a young girl, with a strong fragrance blowing in his face and a flash of soft light. The 'flower man' was immediately transformed into a gorgeous woman with almond eyes and rosy cheeks, tall and slender figure, red lips and white teeth, skin as white as snow, beautiful beyond words. She was wearing a feather dress of fluttering red douxue flowers, just like a flower fairy.

The woman leaned down, stretched out her delicate hand and gently lifted up Wu's chin. Yingying smiled and said, "He's a handsome man, too. I really want to kiss him. It's a pity that you won't live long!"

Wuzhan looked at the woman coldly and asked in a deep voice, "You secretly sent Gao Sheng to lead me here, right?"

The woman retracted her slender hand, straightened her body, and said with a smile: "So you already know everything, then why did you still want to join this game?"

Wuzhan looked at the woman and said, "I was just asking casually, but I didn't expect you to tell me so."

After hearing this, the woman smiled and said, "Good boy, do you think I will blame myself if you say that? You have already suspected him, but you just couldn't find a chance to expose him."

"You built such a nice house for me, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you."

"If you can solve this magic circle for us, we can build a mansion, even a palace!" He turned around and looked at Zhou Ding, saying, "Among the corpses around here, there are our people. It's very difficult to solve the magic circle, let alone get close to it. If I hadn't seen you solve this magic circle, who would have thought of such a mysterious method? You are so lovable, handsome man!"

Wuzhan sensed that the woman's cultivation had reached the level of a wandering immortal, which could not even be described as a wandering immortal. Unexpectedly, he could only hand over the treasure in the cauldron to her tonight, so he asked, "Can you tell me what is hidden in this cauldron?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Zhou Ding with lotus steps, standing under the roaring sea of ​​fire, and said leisurely: "Then guess what's inside?"

"If I could guess it, maybe I wouldn't have solved it."

"You should have seen the words on the wall outside?"

Wuzhan nodded slightly and said, "Isn't it you who removed the inscription on the back?"

The woman smiled and said, "Yes, I did remove the inscription on the back. It records the secret of this tripod. Although they knew the secret, they had no chance to obtain it until more than 30 years ago, when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and wanted to transport the tripod back to Xianyang. After the head of this Taoist temple, Lu Yan, learned about it, he took the opportunity to sneak into the transporting team with his disciples. We have no idea how they got it, but we guess that they transported it here by water. When they wanted to open the Zhou tripod and take out the rare treasures inside, they triggered the magic circle inside the tripod, causing the entire Taoist temple to turn into ashes. It was only when we saw the inscription on the wall that we knew this shocking secret."

With her slender hand she stroked the edge of the Zhou Ding and continued, "This Ding was cast by Jiang Shang using a mixture of fine iron from all directions. It cannot be melted by fire and is indestructible. And this magic array was set up to prevent anyone from trying to destroy it and take away the sacred object. But as you said, if it can be set, it can be broken!" As she spoke, there suddenly appeared a jade bottle in her hand. She gently unscrewed the cap and poured a drop of golden liquid into the Ding.

"Swish..." A burst of white smoke rose, and the golden liquid quickly melted Zhou Ding in the cauldron. "If you can't break this 'two-element water and fire formation', this 'molten gold liquid' will be evaporated before it can get close. One thing conquers another, this saying is really true, now you see!" He stretched out his jade palm, emitting a red light, covering the cauldron. After a moment, a golden scroll slowly rose up and fell into his jade palm. He turned around gracefully, walked towards Wuzhan with his hands behind his back, and said in a sweet voice: "Since you broke this formation, I will let you see it!" He faced the scroll to Wuzhan and slowly unfolded it. Wuzhan saw the scroll and opened his eyes wide. The mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, flowers, trees, birds and beasts on it were real and lifelike, like the epitome of the world, all-encompassing and exquisite.

"The Map of Mountains, Rivers and States!" Wuzhan exclaimed.

The woman put away the scroll and then disappeared from her hand. She was not in a hurry to leave. She stood with her hands behind her back and said, "Yes, this is the artifact given to Jiang Shang by the Heavenly Palace. With this artifact, he helped King Wu of Zhou to destroy King Zhou of Shang. After that, he set up the Conferred God Platform and eliminated all the powerful cultivators above the level of immortals in the world. As a result, the Taoist magic skills were lost, the artifacts and treasures disappeared, and the cultivation world suffered a devastating disaster. In the following 800 years, no one could ascend to become an immortal."

"What magical power does this treasure have? What do you want to do with it?" Wuzhan asked calmly.

The woman smiled and said, "We have our own uses. You don't need to know this!" She raised her head and glanced at the Tai Chi pattern above her head, which had become much smaller. "This divine fire will be given to them as a reward for you!"

Wuzhan bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Fairy. Could you tell me your name?"

The woman smiled and said, "Red snow is falling on the trees, and the endless mist and rain are sprinkled on the river in autumn. Let's see if you can guess it!"

Wuzhan thought for a moment and replied, "Ye Xiaoxiang?"

The woman's face trembled when she heard the words. She laughed in surprise and said, "You handsome man, you are too smart!" Before she finished speaking, "swish..." her beautiful figure turned into thousands of snow-red balls, dancing around the unobstructed colorful world, like a dream. A fragrant breeze blew by, and the thousands of snow-red balls turned around, bypassed the Tai Chi diagram above the head, floated into the night sky and disappeared.

Wuzhan reached out and took off a red Douxueyan that had been stuck in his hair at some point, held it in his hand and smiled bitterly, "Curiosity always comes at a price!" He waited quietly for Miaoxin and Jinxingzi to finish refining the divine fire.

Although he had expected Gao Sheng's background to be no simple matter, he had not expected it to be so complicated and without any room for maneuver. Although he knew the name of this mysterious woman, he had never heard of such a powerful figure in the world, whose strength was comparable to that of Bixia Yuanjun.

Moreover, this "Map of Mountains and Rivers and States" was used by Jiang Shang to defeat King Zhou. It was hidden in a Zhou tripod and used to set up a formation, and this secret was not told to future generations. Its power is immeasurable. What could she do with it? Could it be used to destroy Qin and gain the world?

This reminded Wuzhan of the Nitian Sect. This sect has ears and eyes all over the world, and there are many masters, but they don't show up easily. Han Xiaoting is the Dharma King among them. Will she be one of them too?
……

When the mysterious woman appeared, Miaoxin and Jinxingzi were in a state of unconsciousness and unaware of anything. After a long period of suffering, their bodies had slowly adapted to the burning of the divine fire, and the spiritual energy of the divine fire had gradually merged with their blood.

Miaoxin slowly opened her eyes, which had turned blue, and searched for the figure of Wuzhan while spinning. Unexpectedly, she saw a giant rat with flames burning all over its body sitting cross-legged opposite her. Her heart trembled, her meridians stagnated, her spiritual energy went astray, and she almost fell into the devil's way. She quickly calmed her mind.

At this time, Wuzhan said from below: "Miss Miao, don't panic. He is Jin Xingzi, and his true form is the Fire Rat. Miss Miao, just concentrate on refining him, and I will explain it to you later."

Miaoxin felt relieved after hearing that. She stopped talking and closed her eyes to continue refining the remaining divine fire. Soon she regained her composure. Her cultivation was two levels higher than Jinxingzi's, so refining the divine fire was much easier for her than for Jinxingzi.

Although Jin Xingzi's realm is relatively low, his attribute is fire, and he has a beast body. His muscles and bones are much stronger than Miao Xin's, so he can barely refine the 'Red Refining Flame'.

……

A gray light appeared in the east, the night sky faded, and the air became much fresher. The rotating Tai Chi pattern had fallen and stopped rotating, leaving only the flames surrounding Miaoxin and Jinxingzi.

When the last wisp of flame disappeared, although Miaoxin felt severe pain all over her body, she was extremely happy in her heart, because her cultivation had already entered the realm of a wandering immortal. She opened her beautiful blue eyes again and found Wuzhan leaning against the stone wall with his back to him. He had fallen asleep without her knowing when, but the long robe he wore was missing.

Miaoxin was about to get up and take Wuzhan back home to rest, but she was shocked to find that Wuzhan's robe was beside her. She looked at herself and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah...", because the clothes she was wearing had been burnt to ashes. She quickly put on the robe, her cheeks flushed, even hotter than the burning divine fire. She glanced at the Fire Rat who was still concentrating on practicing, and rushed back to the mansion like a fly.
