Chapter 218: Going the other way (Please subscribe, please vote)
The Secret Realm of Heavenly Fire.

The huge Star Spirit Tree began to shake. If you look carefully, you will find that it is not the Star Spirit Tree that is causing the problem, but the ground.

"Boom~"

"Ahem, finally got out!"

Shi Yi ran out of the underground cave, and after he ran out, the underground cave was completely buried!

The rocket launcher had not originally reached this point, but the subsequent grenades accelerated the process, causing the entire underground cave entrance to collapse, resulting in a large depression in the ground, which looked very obvious.

The huge Star Spirit Tree was lowered because the ground dropped, and part of its roots were exposed, as if it had been dug out.

This made the originally straight Star Spirit Tree not so straight. It looked a little tilted, as if it had grown bent. Its appearance had changed greatly from before.

In the eyes of others, a straight tree and a crooked tree give people completely different feelings.

Previously, the Star Spirit Tree was able to become a marking point on the map not only because it could gather fire-attribute energy, but also because the tree was tall and straight, making it recognizable at a glance.

Shi Yi glanced at the Star Spirit Tree. After today, the growth environment of this Star Spirit Tree would definitely be worse. Not only did it absorb most of the Heavenly Fire gathered by the Star Spirit Tree, but it was also because the Earthly Fire had become much thinner due to its absorption.

What the Star Spirit Tree can absorb must be less than in previous years.

At the same time, many of the Star Spirit Tree's roots underground must have been broken and needed to grow again, which would inevitably consume more nutrients and would naturally be worse than in previous years.

Although the Star Spirit Tree will not die, it will definitely take some time for it to return to the appearance that Shi Yi saw at the beginning.

If no one helps to straighten it, it will be difficult to grow it back to its original shape.

"I'm a little anxious now."

"If I have the chance in the future, I'll give you some nourishment and help you straighten yourself up!"

Shi Yi looked at the Star Spirit Tree and said slowly.

He wasn't really waiting here because it wasn't safe.

"No matter what the situation underground is, let's leave here first and go directly to the intersection that leads out of the Skyfire Secret Realm."

"That elite disciple is a Yin Spirit emerging from his body, and he has a magic sword in his hand to protect his Yin Spirit. Even if he fights with the Earth Flame Demonic Snake, he won't necessarily die at his hands."

"My cultivation of Taoism is weaker than his. Even if I use the Thunder Tribulation Sword to clash with him, I won't have much of an advantage. It's better for me to gather with other fellow disciples first."

"As long as there are more people, he won't have a chance to take action!"

"When the time comes, I'll take out what I have left and make him pay for it."

Shi Yi's mind moved slightly, and he gathered the energy and blood in his body, then quickly left.

He also cleaned up the footprints on the ground!

And the Star Spirit Tree was still leaning, as if it was squinting at Shi Yi as he left, silently accusing him.

But Shi Yi didn't care about all this. He walked quickly and his figure soon disappeared!
"Damn that inner disciple Shi Yi, he actually plotted against me."

"And that damned Earth Flame Demonic Snake actually attacked me by surprise."

"I can't let Shi Yi escape alive, otherwise I'll be in big trouble!"

"When I entered the Skyfire Secret Realm before, the sect's law enforcement elders suspected that I was related to those missing elite disciples. If it weren't for Elder Zeng's intervention, I would have been taken away and forcibly questioned!"

"If someone reports this, Elder Zeng will definitely not be able to protect me."

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been so greedy to come to the Skyfire Secret Realm again this time. Instead, I should have left Taiyi Dao Sect after the last incident was settled."

A purple flying sword flew out from the ground, and a panicked ghost spirit hovered above the flying sword.

Qu Sheng's face looked extremely ugly at this moment, and his entire condition was extremely bad.

The color of his Yin Spirit became thinner, and many cracks appeared on the purple flying sword.

The strength of the Earth Flame Demon Snake was very strong. He had no choice but to use his magic sword to take the attack from the opponent. Even so, he was beaten like this.

The difference in strength was obvious, which was why he brought people in, using other people's lives to attract the Earth Flame Demon Snake, and he took the opportunity to collect the Millennium Fire Lotus.

Otherwise, with his strength, it would be impossible for him to collect the Millennium Fire Lotus from the Earth Flame Demon Snake.

He had tried doing this many times and was already familiar with it. This time was no exception and it went even more smoothly than he expected.

If Shi Yi hadn't discovered it, everything would have been perfect!
Therefore, this made him hate Shi Yi even more!

Now the magic weapon in his hand is about to be destroyed, his Yin Spirit is seriously injured, and cracks are appearing on the solid pill in his body. If it shatters, his Taoist cultivation will fall to the level of virtual pill.

If one is forcibly knocked down from this state by external forces, it will be extremely difficult to condense a solid pill again, and it will also affect the potential for future cultivation.

It is common to be trapped in the Yuandan realm for life.

This was also the reason why Qu Sheng was panicking. He had caused so many troubles in the Tianhuo Secret Realm. Although part of it was because of the mission, more of it was because he wanted to go further on the path of Taoist practice.

Only people like him would understand how important strength is. If his cultivation is strong, his fate will not be controlled by others, and he would not have to be so cautious in his daily life, for fear that others would discover his problems.

He was fed up with this kind of life, so he wanted to become stronger and take control of his own destiny.

He would do so even if it was risky.

But now the situation is a little out of his control!

"I don't have time to recover from my injuries now. If Shi Yi doesn't die, I will die too. By then, all my cultivation will be useless."

"The traces here have been cleaned up really well."

"But do you think this is all I have?"

"Being attentive is a good thing, but unfortunately you don't have it. You deserve this bad luck."

"Track the trail!"

Qu Sheng's Yin Shen's eyes were cold, he had to deal with the accident of Shi Yi.

And after this Heavenly Fire Secret Realm ends, he must disappear from the Taiyi Dao Gate.

The more you do, the greater the chance that your crimes will be exposed.

He now doubted whether Elder Zeng could still protect him.

As for the injury on his Yin Shen, he didn't have time to think about it at this moment. The longer he delayed, the greater the danger would be.

If Shi Yi met other people and told them what happened, he would surely die.

His cultivation level at the Yuandan realm is not the strongest among those who entered the Tianhuo Secret Realm this time.

"Hey, why is there no response?"

After Qu Sheng took out a piece of hair and performed the Taoist technique, he looked at the tracking technique and saw that there was no reaction, with a look of confusion on his face.

The medium he used to perform his Taoist magic was a hair, which was the trace he found when he came out of the ground.

He felt that this must be Shi Yi's hair, so he used it to perform tracking magic. However, there was no reaction now, which made him a little puzzled.

"Could it be that there is someone else passing by here?"

"No, even if someone else passes by, there will be a reaction, unless the owner of this hair is not in the secret realm."

"Are you deliberately misleading me?"

Doubt flashed in Qu Sheng's eyes, and as soon as a guess popped up in his mind, he rejected it!
How could people outside the secret realm possibly come into the secret realm?

Thinking of this, he was almost furious!

"No, I have to track it some other way!"

"Now I can only use my body as a medium and a special secret method to track him by borrowing the breath left by Shi Yi!"

"Shi Yi, you must die. I will cut you into pieces."

Qu Sheng felt that things were more difficult than he thought, and it made him even angrier.

Shi Yi, whom he did not take seriously, did not seem that simple. He could actually come up with so many tricks.

Even if the hair inside was left by the other party, it means that he is deliberately guiding him to delay time.

Qu Sheng's face was gloomy, and then he flew quickly towards his physical body. He needed to race against time.

Blue light streaked across the sky, moving away from the leaning Star Spirit Tree.

The edge of the Skyfire Secret Realm
"The exit is over here, but I can't go straight in here, lest they guess where I am."

"It's a pity that I didn't think of getting some other people's hair on the Jiuli Bronze Flying Boat before, otherwise the effect would definitely be better."

"According to the Taoist techniques I read about tracking in the Transmission Pavilion, they all require a medium, and human fur is the best medium."

"The medium I left inside should be able to confuse the other party for a while and buy me some more time. If I use the hair of someone who entered the secret realm, the effect will definitely be even better."

Shi Yi was moving very fast, and even deliberately left some other people's hair on the road.

When he knew the effect of tracking magic, he prepared these to prevent himself from being tracked.

Misleading others will definitely have a good effect.

When he discovered the other party, he deliberately left some traces in the underground cave. If the other party found it, it would be even better. Even if not, it would not have much impact.

After all, he still had a lot left on the road and could confuse the other party again.

As long as the opponent performs one more Taoist magic, it will consume more of the opponent's Yin Shen power, weaken the opponent's strength, and in turn increase his chances of winning.

Shi Yi was not sure whether Qu Sheng died in the underground cave, but when he considered the situation, he basically took the worst case scenario into consideration.

If the worst case scenario is that Qu Sheng is not injured in the underground cave and comes out safely, then what he is doing now can buy him more time.

As long as he encounters other elite disciples in the Tianhuo Secret Realm on the next journey, his safety will be greatly improved, unless the other party is in the same group as Qu Sheng.

If this is the case, the situation will be even worse, but Shi Yi estimated that the possibility of this situation is very small, because the person before was a disciple of Yulan Peak, and the person he was looking for was also a disciple of Yulan Peak. It is very unlikely that they are in the same group with people from other peaks.

Logically speaking, it would be better for him to go to the central area because there are more people there, but Shi Yi estimated the time and the direction where Qu Sheng might be tracking him, so he chose the exit.

Only the unexpected places are safer.

After all, a normal person's first reaction would be to move towards the central area, but he did the opposite.

"As expected, once you leave the sect, you are not safe even in the secret realm controlled by the sect."

"If you want absolute safety, you need to have enough strength to deal with any unexpected situations."

"If my Dao cultivation reaches the Yuandan level and directly breaks through to the Jindan realm, then it won't be me being hunted by Qu Sheng, but I will be the one hunting him down!"

“When you go out, strength is still the most important thing.”

"After this trip to the secret realm, I will go into seclusion to practice and break through the Yuandan realm first."

"When I break through to the Yuandan realm, my combat power will be even stronger. Even among the elite disciples, I will definitely be the best!"

Shi Yi felt a lot of emotions in his heart, and at the same time he had already made a decision in his heart.

To be honest, he had thought about competing with others on this trip. After all, the fire-attributed energy in the secret realm was a rare thing, and it was normal to conflict with others and compete for the energy.

However, he felt that it should be within the sect rules and would not be too excessive.

Now it seems that he thought too highly of others.

Even if he chooses to avoid others, he is still forced into trouble.

When one's strength is insufficient, opportunities become troubles. If one has enough strength, troubles can turn into opportunities.

The two can be transformed into each other, and the decisive factor is strength.

"The Skyfire Secret Realm is not a suitable place for retreat and breakthrough."

"Besides, I haven't prepared any other aids to help me break through. If I want to break through to the Yuandan realm, I still have to take a long-term view and not be too hasty."

"As for wanting to break through on the battlefield, this is still a bit difficult."

"The elite disciple from Yulan Peak should be stronger than me in combat, so there's no need to confront him head-on for now."

"Besides, time is on my side. The longer it takes, the better it is for me."

"He's the only one who's anxious, not me."

While Shi Yi was thinking about these things, his speed did not slow down.

Although he felt that the other party should not be able to track him, Shi Yi still felt that it was better to be conservative and prevent the other party from having other tracking methods. At this time, he should increase the distance. Even if the other party had other methods, it would take a long time to find him.

Compared to the other party having to find him to completely solve the problem, he only needs to find anyone other than the disciples of Yulan Peak to turn the situation around.

Maintaining the sect's rules is also the sect's disciples' responsibility, not to mention that this concerns the lives of those disciples who enter the Skyfire Secret Realm, so it is even more of a responsibility!

"It's a pity that there's so little earth fire energy underground. If it weren't for that elite disciple from Yulan Peak, I could have absorbed more."

"Next time I have a chance to come in, I can absorb more fire-attribute energy."

Shi Yi has left an anchor point in the Tianhuo Secret Realm, so anyone can come in at any time.

So although he felt a little regretful, for him, this was not the last time he would come in.

On the contrary, even if the Skyfire Secret Realm is closed, he can come in and explore as long as he wants.

He was just not sure whether this place would become very dangerous after the Skyfire Secret Realm was closed.

This uncertainty made Shi Yi not decide to come in immediately.

After all, the goal of his trip had been achieved and he had reaped a lot of rewards. When he entered the secret realm again, there was nothing necessary to obtain.
