Transmigrating into the body of a white-haired fairy, she also encounters a late-born woman seeking

at the same time.

As Dan Chen was tracking the trail, two whooshing sounds rang out from outside the sea of ​​fire.

They transformed into two streaks of light and flew into the depths of the sea of ​​fire.

Its profound magical power forcibly separated the raging flames in the Xuanhuang Fire Sea.

Finally, it landed beside Dan Chen.

One of them was a middle-aged man nearing fifty. He wore a black robe, had a resolute face, and his eyes were bright and piercing, exuding an air of authority.

His aura was unfathomable.

The other was a gaunt old man nearing seventy, dressed in a black robe.

His eyes were as deep and unfathomable as a still pool, and his aura was not as flamboyant as that of the middle-aged man in the black robe; instead, he seemed like an ordinary person.

After appearing deep within the sea of ​​fire, he scanned the area with his eyes and got a general idea of ​​what was happening.

"Two types of subterranean fire?"

"Hmph, how dare an outsider trespass into the forbidden area of ​​Xuanhuang Valley? You, the person in charge, are unaware of it. Go to Shangqing Hall to receive your punishment."

The gaunt old man gave the middle-aged man in black robes a sharp look, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Your advice is correct."

"After finding the trespasser, I will definitely go to Shangqing Peak to apologize with thorns on my back."

Faced with the old man's reprimand, the middle-aged man in the black robe could only accept the reprimand with utmost respect.

The gaunt old man said no more, and instead looked at Dan Chen.

"Dan Chen, did you see what the intruder looked like?"

"Dan Chen met with Ancestor Yuan De and Elder Du Li."

Upon seeing the two arrive, Dan Chen greeted them respectfully.

One of these two is Du Li, the elder in charge of Xuanhuang Valley.

One of them was Liu Yuande, the ancestor of the Liu clan of Zidan Peak.

He has an extremely powerful background.

Du Li, a mid-stage Saint Realm expert, oversees a forbidden area in Xuanhuang Valley and has absolute authority over it.

He is also one of the elders with high positions and great power in the Zidan Peak Elders' Pavilion.

But this Liu Yuande was even more terrifying.

The Liu family, a thousand-year-old clan of Zidan Peak, has a profound heritage spanning seven thousand years.

The elders of the Liu family lineage now hold various high-ranking and powerful positions in Zidan Peak, spreading throughout all branches.

He was incredibly influential.

And this Liu Yuande is the biggest backer of the Liu family.

He was also a major contributor to the glory of the Liu family lineage.

He has one foot in the Great Emperor realm.

A quasi-emperor level expert.

Such strength would make one a super strong person, not only in the Xuanling Sect, but even in the entire Tianwu Continent.

There are very few of them on the entire Zidan Peak.

In recent years, the Liu family lineage has become increasingly flamboyant.

This ancestor of the Liu family had been cultivating in seclusion at the Nandou Cave near Xuanhuang Valley.

His appearance here first was somewhat unexpected for Dan Chen.

"No need for formalities, just explain what happened today."

Liu Yuande casually waved his hand in response to Dan Chen's polite manners.

Dan Chen said, "This disciple did not see any intruders. They had already left when I arrived, as if they had noticed my presence."

"Fortunately, they don't seem to have succeeded; the Xuanhuang True Flame is still intact."

"Them?" Liu Yuande's expression narrowed slightly.

"After all, there are two kinds of earth fire aura present. I believe that the owners of these two kinds of earth fire have reached an agreement to try to steal the power of the Xuanhuang True Flame together."

No, you're wrong.

Liu Yuande, however, rejected this.

"Actually, these two types of earth fire are not from different people, but belong to the same person. Although he did not leave any magic power behind through the great formation, the residual aura in these earth fires is undoubtedly from the same person."

"Possessing two types of subterranean fire?!"

These words surprised not only Dan Chen, but also Du Li, who was standing to the side.

It is extremely rare for an ordinary genius to obtain a kind of earth fire.

It turns out that the person who broke into Xuanhuang Valley actually possessed two kinds of earth fire?

You should know that even Dan Chen can only possess one Azure Dragon True Flame, which is comparable to earth fire!

"This person's strength is unfathomable. The fact that he possesses two kinds of spiritual fire indicates that he came for the Xuanhuang True Flame, and not for the corpse of the Demon Emperor Luohe."

"......."

Dan Chen frowned and said, "There is no one in my Xuanling Sect who possesses the Glazed Bright Flame and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."

"And it's impossible that he could appear out of thin air in Xuanhuang Valley without being detected by the mountain-guarding formation."

"Then there is only one possibility now, that is, this person comes from one of the major forces invited to this martial arts competition."

"So it really is from an outside force?"

"Yes, but we haven't heard of such a thing even among the dominant forces like the True Martial Sect. It's possible that someone disguised themselves as someone from another sect and took the opportunity to break in here."

"Of course, it's also possible that the Zhenwu Sect and the others are hiding something."

"In short, this person can not only get rid of a group of guards, but also the Nine Yang Seal Formation and control two kinds of earth fire. His strength is at least extraordinary Saint Realm, and he poses a great threat."

"They are also familiar with our Xuanling Sect, otherwise they wouldn't even know about a forbidden area like Xuanhuang Valley."

A chill ran through Du Li's eyes.

"These outside forces are truly audacious. Instead of behaving themselves properly in my Xuanling Sect, they dare to plot against the Xuanhuang True Flame?"

"......"

But at this moment he also hesitated.

"Perhaps we can take advantage of this opportunity to capture him. Since he comes from an outside force, he must have returned to it now and is waiting for the martial arts competition to begin."

"As long as we search one by one, it's impossible not to find them."

"If he has escaped now, we can confirm his identity by finding the list of those who escaped."

Liu Yuande, however, denied this:

"No, we can't be sure which faction that person belongs to yet. If we go there rashly, we will definitely offend a lot of people."

"You should know that those who can come here to watch the martial arts competition are all dominant forces, no weaker than my Xuanling Sect."

"Right now, we can only investigate secretly and must not alert the major powers."

"We must keep a close watch on them to prevent them from attacking again."

"Du Li, from today onwards, you will personally guard Xuanhuang Valley and ensure that this situation does not occur again."

"Dan Chen, go and report to Li Mu what happened here."

"......"

Afterwards, the group went their separate ways.

Liu Yuande also took this opportunity to start paying attention to Xuanhuang Valley.

After watching Du Li and Dan Chen disappear into the distance, he turned his gaze back to the eternal corpse in the sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, a hint of excitement and ferocity appeared in his calm eyes.

And wisps of red aura.

"......"

"Everyone has designs on the Xuanhuang True Flame, but they have overlooked your power."

"The legendary Asura Demon Body, even the Xuanhuang True Flame cannot erase your power."

"If I could possess your body..."

This is an unparalleled demonic body comparable to the Supreme Body, the Asura Demonic Body.

He has been stuck at the Quasi-Emperor level for thousands of years. If he could obtain the Asura Demon Body, breaking through to become an Emperor would be a piece of cake.

It's even possible that he could break through to become a supreme demon lord and ascend to the upper realm.

After all, his lifespan was coming to an end, his aptitude had reached its limit, and there was no possibility of him breaking through.

Even if he goes to great lengths and uses all sorts of methods.

"This might be an opportunity."

"After this unexpected turn of events, perhaps I can obtain this corpse..."

Liu Yuande's eyes gleamed.

Actually, he had concealed part of the truth before.

As a quasi-emperor, how could he not have noticed that there were two people who had been here before?

The situation should have progressed to the point where the two fought, and in the end, neither could prevail over the other and had to retreat.

However, they will certainly not give up easily.

The best opportunity to obtain it is when the Xuanhuang True Flame awakens and falls into its lowest point.

And then he could take the opportunity to come into contact with the Asura Demon Body.

This is also why he quietly secluded himself in Nandou Cave to cultivate.

He was waiting for an opportunity.

Waiting for an opportunity to obtain the Asura Demon Body.

However, he did not reveal the truth, and now the Xuanhuang Fire Sea has almost completely erased all traces of the scene.

There is no way to verify the truth since the dead are dead.

Thinking it over, Liu Yuande left the third floor.

He went deep into the second level and met Elder Liu Yao, who was on duty.

"Keep an eye on this area, and let me know immediately if anything happens."

Liu Yao glanced at the other guard not far away, then nodded heavily...
