Madam Shi hurried down the mountain to greet Madam Li and the others.

The 'Peach Blossom Sword Demon' was dressed in a revealing and sexy outfit, and smiled shyly: "Madam Wang has already sent word that I have been here to welcome you for a long time."

Madam Li had been suspicious before, but when they actually met, she dared not be negligent and hurriedly said, "Chief Shi, you are too kind."

Madam Qin also said, "Master Shi is very busy, and we are the ones who are bothering you."

Madam Shi said, "The sect leader originally wanted to come and greet us, but he was too busy with sect affairs to come. He asked me to convey his apologies to everyone on his behalf."

As they talked, they went up the mountain.

This place is called "Cangshi Mountain", but like Changwei Mountain, it stretches for thousands of miles. Previously occupied by Liehuo Sanren, it was taken over by the Sixiang Sword Sect and guarded by Madam Shi. This place is called "Huoyun Cave". The spiritual energy here is abundant, and a rare treasure named "Blood Bodhi" has grown from the flames.

It is of great benefit to fire magic practice. It can be used to ingest and refine magic, or to refine treasures. The four fire flags of the Fiery Wanderer were made from this.

Madam Shi smiled and said, "These 'Blood Bodhi' also have the effects of enhancing magical power and clearing away elixir poison. The sect leader specifically instructed that a few should be picked for everyone to try. The freshly picked 'Blood Bodhi' is the most effective. Please wait a moment."

As she spoke, she called out, "I would like to trouble Elder Nie to collect six Blood Bodhi seeds."

Behind her, a hunchbacked old man with only eight fingers left responded and left.

Seeing that Madam Li, Madam Qin, and others were casting inquiring glances at the old man's retreating figure, Madam Shi took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Old Man Nie, named 'Nie Kewei,' also known as 'Eight-Finger Hunchback,' a heroic figure."

Madam Li and the others did not know this person, but Yong Weimin knew the masters of the Four Symbols Sword Sect like the back of his hand. He added from the side: "Senior Nie was once the leader of the 'Three Heroes of the Pass,' and always took it as his duty to uphold justice, which made him many enemies."

"A few years ago, his two brothers died one after another in revenge from the enemy. Only Senior Nie was left. He was hunted down by Zhu Biao, the 'Iron Palm and Golden Sword Lone Ranger'. He fled to the interior of the pass and was in dire straits. He happened to be met by the sect leader who was out exorcising demons at the time, and he killed Zhu Biao in his place."

"Since then, Senior Nie has joined the Four Symbols Sword Sect and is now a protector of the Myriad Laws Palace, under the command of Chief Stone."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qin suddenly realized: "I only heard that my brother-in-law killed that old demon Zhu Biao from the Western Region, but I didn't know there was this other story."

She had never heard of Nie Kewei, but she had heard of Zhu Biao. She explained to Madam Li, "In the past two years, my brother-in-law has achieved remarkable feats. He has not only defeated four top masters of the ancestral level, including Yang Mo, Master Su Yu, and the Qi Zhen couple, but also killed thirteen top masters, all of whom were old demons who had plagued the region for many years. Among them was Zhu Biao."

Top expert?

Madam Li was quite surprised, her mouth slightly agape. She had counted the generations of the Wang family and found that none of them had produced such a master, yet her son-in-law had killed a full thirteen people in just two years.

Simply appalling.

But Madam Shi laughed: "It's not just thirteen. Two months ago, the sect leader also helped Han Yun, the sword master who was stationed in Chongwu Mountain, kill the 'Blood Hand Old Demon' who was known as 'treating people like chickens'. The number of top experts under his sword has increased to fourteen."

Both Madam Li and Madam Qin were shocked to hear this. They were killing top talents as easily as killing chickens or dogs. They hadn't been paying attention for a while and another person had been killed. It was truly terrifying.

aside.

Wang Xuanfu secretly sized up Madam Shi, while secretly communicating with his wife Zeng Qi: "Considering that Nie Kewei was able to escape from outside the pass to inside the pass while being pursued by top experts, his skills must be extraordinary. Although Madam Shi has some reputation, how can she compare to him?"

He secretly wondered, "What virtue or ability does Madam Shi possess to command such a skilled fighter?"

Zeng Qi, slender and wearing a white flower in her hair, said upon hearing this, "Madam Shi joined my uncle's ranks before the Four Symbols Sword Sect was even established and was deeply trusted. Although Elder Nie is a heroic figure, he joined later. Since he is stationed in such a treasure land as the Fire Cloud Cave of Cangshi Mountain, he naturally has to send a trustworthy confidant to take charge."

She could understand why Madam Shi was the head of this place.

Wang Xuanfu was still puzzled: "Nie Kewei is stronger than Madam Shi, how can he be convinced?"

Use yourself to save others.

Wang Xuanfu thought to himself, if he had Nie Kewei's reputation and ability, he wouldn't be ordered around by a coy and timid woman who flaunts her charms, so humiliating. He was thinking this.

Suddenly, the 'Eight-Finger Camel' who had left not long ago rushed back, looking anxious. Before anyone could ask, he said urgently, "The Crimson-Scaled Beast must have smelled the scent of living people, because it has run out of the deep lava pool!"

Judging from Nie Kewei's disheveled appearance, he was clearly quite frightened.

Wang Xuanfu's heart skipped a beat: 'Is this a lie to deceive Madam Shi, or are the two of them conspiring to disobey my uncle's orders and refuse to give us the 'Blood Bodhi'?'

He didn't speak, but his eyes secretly scanned Nie Kewei and Madam Shi.

Madam Li, being much simpler, hurriedly asked with concern, "What is a 'Crimson Scale Beast'? Is the 'Blood Bodhi' dangerous?"

She wasn't craving the 'blood bodhi'; she was simply worried about her son-in-law, fearing that his rare treasures might have been lost to an accident.

Knowing that the woman was the sect leader's mother-in-law, Nie Kewei replied, "'Blood Bodhi' is fine."

As for the 'Red-Scaled Beast'—

Madam Shi solemnly said, "That is a strange beast of fire. It lives in magma and has the natural ability to control flames. Its body is covered in high-temperature flames, and no one can get close to it. Its strength is no less than that of a top expert. The sect leader once came here to try to tame or kill it, but this beast is clever. When it sees that the situation is not good, it often escapes into the deep pool of magma. Even the sect leader cannot chase it in."

Top-tier mythical beast?

Madam Li panicked.

How can we possibly deal with such a strange beast?

She looked at Yong Weimin, a man known as "One Sword Crowned the Azure Stone," a renowned figure in the region, but still far from being a top-tier expert.

Looking at Nie Kewei, this "Eight-Finger Hunchback" could only flee when facing top experts. He was so flustered at the moment, it was clear that he was no match for him.

What should we do?

Could it be that they are relying on this Lady Shi?
The old lady looked at this 'Peach Blossom Sword Demon'. He might have peach blossoms, but he might not be a sword demon.

Nie Kewei, however, awaited instructions from Madam Shi.

Here.

Madam Shi said to the old lady and the others, "Please rest a while, I'm going to meet that beast."

She spoke the first half of the sentence with a shy and timid demeanor, but the second half revealed a murderous intent in her pretty face.

Madam Li hurriedly said, "Chief Shi, be careful."

He then turned to Yong Weimin and said, "Deacon Yong, you don't need to protect us. Go and help us."

Yong Weimin responded and followed closely behind, his heart pounding.

He ventured deep into the Fire Cloud Cave and, following Madam Shi and Nie Kewei, saw the 'Crimson Scale Beast'—

It is nearly ten feet tall and twenty feet long. Its four hooves are like those of a lion, its head resembles that of a tiger, and its back has 81 sharp spikes covered with dense scales. Just looking at it makes one feel suffocated.

When it saw people coming, it spewed out raging flames, white flames that could melt gold and iron, making people tremble with fear.
