Therefore, let's just pass the blame to the clan leaders above. I believe they can handle this matter.

“…This matter cannot be told to others. Rumors are a sharp blade, and I don’t want to see it hurt little Lin’er.” Venerable Bi Bo was silent for a moment and said in a cold voice.

"Don't worry, I'm not a gossipy person. I won't tell this to other irrelevant people." Venerable Blue Bird nodded calmly in response, and then the jade pendant hanging around her waist suddenly emitted a white light.

At the same time, the jade token on Venerable Bi Bo's body also lit up.

The two looked at each other, and Reverend Bluebird was the first to break the silence, laughing, "It seems that one wave has not yet settled when another wave comes. Let me see who sent me a message..."

Before she finished speaking, Venerable Bi Bo had already read the message in the jade token, "Something strange has happened in the secret realm. Venerable Mo Dao may take this opportunity to escape. We have work to do."

The reason why those two daring Demonic Venerables could appear in the Southern Territory and confront Tianyan Venerable so carelessly was because the unstable space structure near the secret realm prevented other Righteous Venerables from moving rashly. Now that these two Venerables can no longer hide there, the opportunity for the Righteous Venerables has naturally come.

There were more than two dozen righteous masters watching nearby.

……

Of course, the hustle and bustle outside has nothing to do with the girls who are still trapped in the secret realm. Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan are still running towards the direction of the spiritual fire in pain.

While they were hurrying on their way, three of them had already arrived at the center of the secret realm, outside a palace made of pure fire.

"It's really... incredible." Hua Yue looked up at the huge palace that she couldn't see the top of, and looked at the red feathers falling like snow but disappearing in mid-air, she opened her mouth wide and let out a sigh.

Everything seemed to change in an instant. She remembered that she was traveling on a wasteland, but when she closed her eyes and opened them again, such a magnificent palace of fire suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"We are no longer in the original place. This seems to be another area." Hua Xi tried to retreat a few steps in the direction they came from, but did not let the palace disappear from his sight.

Moreover, the surrounding environment was completely different from the previous one. She felt that she must have been teleported here by an unknown powerful force without realizing it, rather than being deceived by a trick.

In an instant, he was transported to the late stage of Grandmaster. It seems that the things in this secret realm are quite terrifying.

"I can feel that the thing calling me is inside this palace!" Huoyu's eyes sparkled, and he subconsciously took a step forward to get closer to the palace.

But she took just one step when a sharp burning sensation came from her chest, forcing her to stop.

The flame in his chest seemed to be stimulated by something and began to move violently. Huoyu even felt that he was about to lose control of it.

The flames used Huoyu's spiritual power as fuel, and looked like they were about to break away from Huoyu's control and burn everything to ashes. Huoyu was so frightened that she didn't dare to take another step forward. This one step was so terrifying already, and if she took another step, she would probably be swallowed by the fire.

"Huoyu, your body is so hot!" Huayue noticed that something was wrong with Huoyu and wanted to reach out to pull Huoyu back, but found that Huoyu's body temperature had risen to a very terrifying level.

If a normal person's body temperature soared to this level, his family would be able to go back and prepare for the banquet.

However, for fire-attributed monks, a slightly higher body temperature is not a big problem. Some powerful fire-attributed monks can even transform their bodies into pure flames, and to some extent, transform into another creature.

But Huoyu obviously didn't have this ability, she was just enduring the burning flames in her body.

"Keep your mind focused and don't be afraid. I'm here and you'll be fine." Hua Xi reached out and pressed Huoyu's shoulder, injecting her own spiritual power into Huoyu's body, hoping to use this method to help Huoyu suppress the abnormal movements in his body.

But this time, her efforts were completely ineffective.

As soon as the spiritual power entered Huoyu's body, it was devoured by the horrific flames, leaving no residue at all. After devouring the spiritual power, the flames seemed still unsatisfied, and pounced along the trajectory of the spiritual power like a hungry beast.

Huaxi quickly moved her hands away from Huoyu to prevent these terrible flames from rushing into her body and causing damage.

Fortunately, these flames could only wreak havoc inside Huoyu's body and could not temporarily rush out of Huoyu's body, which allowed Huaxi to escape.

But this situation still made Hua Xi look helpless. She really didn't know how to help Huoyu. Her own spiritual power would be devoured in an instant, which would only add fuel to the fire.

If I can't do it myself, then Huayue will be even more helpless.

"It's okay, I can still control these flames." Covering his chest, Flame sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to try his best to control the flames running wild in his body.

Although it is impossible to suppress them again, it is possible to temporarily stabilize the current situation.

'Has this day finally arrived?'

Just as Huoyu closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, some strange creatures suddenly appeared among the red feathers that fell from the sky and dissipated in mid-air. These feathers slowly fell not far in front of Huayue Huaxi and transformed into an old figure.

The old man was wearing a red and black robe, with clear lines on his face and bright eyes. Although it was impossible to tell how strong he was, one could tell from his appearance that he was not an ordinary old man.

"You are..." Huaxi subconsciously protected Huayue behind him and asked the old man.

“I’m Nan Tianlie. What you saw is a trace of my spiritual consciousness that I left here. Only when the destined person comes here can the spiritual consciousness I left behind be awakened.” The old man stroked his beard and said to the two girls in front of him with a smile.

Then, he looked behind the two of them, his expression becoming confused, "But... why didn't I see your guide?"

"Guide? She is the one who led us here. The guide you are talking about is her." Hua Xi pointed at Huoyu who had his eyes closed and said to the old man.

The old man obviously didn't expect to get this answer, but looking at the expressions of Huaxi and Huayue, he couldn't see any signs of lying.

This is very strange. When he hid the spiritual fire in the secret realm, he had already anticipated that one day his descendants would bring the destined person here to retrieve the spiritual fire. But now someone broke in here, but his descendants disappeared.

So how did these three girls find this place?

"This is impossible! Apart from our Nan family, no one else can sense the location of the spiritual fire." The old man shook his head and said, "You can't fool me."

"But we are really not from the Nan family, and we have nothing to do with the Nan family. My surname and this sister's surname is Hua, and the sister on the ground's surname is Huo. We are not native to the Southern Territory." Hua Xi also said that the three people on his side really had nothing to do with the Nan family.

"The Nan family... could it be the Nan family that Senior Sister Ye mentioned?" Hua Yue cautiously poked her head out. She remembered some things Ye Qiuhan had told her before.

It seems that before Senior Sister Ye came to support, she was helping the Nan family deal with a large sect of the Nan family?

"Does your Nan family have a very powerful treasure hidden? I seem to have heard Senior Sister Ye talk about the Nan family." Hua Yue said to the old man's phantom, "But we really have nothing to do with the Nan family. I have lived in the North since I was a child. This is my first time in the South."

But the old man's shadow seemed not to have heard Hua Yue's words, or perhaps this wisp of consciousness didn't know how to deal with the current situation. In short, the scene was awkward.

343. Sea of ​​Insects and Spiritual Beasts

After the silence lasted for a while, Huoyu suddenly covered her chest with a painful expression. Just now, she felt a surge of spiritual energy from nowhere suddenly poured into her body, becoming fuel for the fire in her body. Her strength, which had been growing slightly slower, also rapidly increased at this moment.

“Huoyu!” Hua Yue was frightened by Huoyu’s appearance. After calming down, she looked up at the old man’s phantom who was still in a daze and said in a heavy tone, “Senior, please tell us what secrets are hidden here. My friend is really about to collapse.”

"If she can't hold on, terrible flames will burst out of her body and destroy everything in this secret realm. At that time, the secret you kept will be meaningless."

Huayue was also a little anxious, and subconsciously repeated what Huoyu had said before with a little embellishment. She knew, of course, that these few words alone would not be enough to convince the old man's phantom, so while she was saying these words, she was still trying hard to think of a countermeasure in her mind.

Soon, a bold idea came into her mind.

During the previous Ascension Conference, Qian Lin seemed to say that Huoyu had some relationship with the mythical beast Suzaku. So, there should be no problem in bringing out Suzaku to calm the situation now, right?

And since the purpose is to scare people, it is not enough to just be related to Suzaku. I have to make Huoyu's identity sound more powerful and more frightening.

“Hmph, you want to destroy this secret realm with just this little girl? You think too much. Even if she has those famous spiritual fires sealed in her body, it can't hurt the Flame Palace and this secret realm in the slightest. I'm afraid you might be scared if I tell you this, but this secret realm is inextricably linked to the sacred beast Suzaku.” The old man laughed and said that he was a man who had seen the world, and it was impossible for you, little guy, to scare me.

What kind of dangerous things could be in the body of a girl who hasn't even reached the Body Tempering Stage? At most, it could be the spiritual fires ranked ten or so on the Spiritual Fire List. It's not that he looked down on these spiritual fires, but in front of this Palace of Fire, any fire had to bow down.

Because this is the territory of Suzaku, the territory of the divine beast of fire!

"But Huoyu is Suzaku, she is the reincarnation of Suzaku!" Huayue pointed at Huoyu and said confidently, "The flame of Suzaku is in her body!"

Hearing this, Hua Xi was shocked at first. She widened her eyes and looked at Huoyu in surprise. How could the identity of this red-haired girl be so terrifying?

Huoyu also frowned slightly, but no further expression showed. She knew that this was Huayue's nonsense, and her purpose was to scare the old man's shadow and make him tell the secret of this fire palace.

But her expression looked completely different in the old man's eyes. Huoyu looked as if she felt a little unhappy after her secret was revealed, but because her current condition was not good, she could only accept the fact that her secret was revealed.

Hiss... Could this girl really be the reincarnation of Suzaku?

That's impossible. This scene was not included in the clip I saw that year.

It's really strange...

"Little girl, words are not enough, how can I know if you are lying to me?"

"She didn't lie to you. I do have a very deep connection with Suzaku. If you don't believe me, just look at the flame in my hand." Without waiting for Huayue to answer, Huoyu took the initiative to speak. She raised one hand, and a red flame appeared in her palm.

The moment the flame appeared, the nearby spiritual energy seemed to be attracted by some terrifying force and rushed towards Huoyu's palm frantically. Fortunately, Huoyu took the flame back into his body to suppress it before the flame grew.

Seeing this scene, the old man was completely stunned. This flame was undoubtedly the most powerful fire in the world controlled by the Vermillion Bird!

If the fire that is about to get out of control in the girl's body is of this kind, then everything Huayue said is not an exaggeration. If this fire gets out of control, it can really burn this secret realm to ashes.

"I'll take you to the hall right away!" The old man made a decision in an instant. He didn't have time to care about the Nan family or not. He should deal with the things at hand first!

……

"The spirit beasts are gathering more and more, and the force that prevents them from killing each other seems to have disappeared. These guys have started to fight among themselves." Looking ahead at the vast plain that was in complete chaos, Qian Lin took a deep breath and calmly analyzed the situation.

According to Nan Xiao's perception, they were already very close to the location of the spiritual fire. If nothing unexpected happened, the plain in front of them was where the spiritual fire was.

But now this plain is already crowded with a large number of spirit beasts. These spirit beasts are fighting each other on the plain, and the bloody smell rises into the sky. It is like a scene from hell.

As a large number of spirit beasts fell down while wailing like wheat being cut, Qian Lin's expression gradually became serious. For some reason, a large amount of mixed spiritual power suddenly appeared in her body, exactly the same as when she killed the spirit beasts a few days ago.

It seems that the death of these spiritual beasts will indeed increase the spiritual power in her body.

And now, the spiritual beasts in this area are so densely packed that there is no end in sight!

If he keeps killing like this, Qian Lin feels that it won't be long before he is pushed directly to the Venerable realm, and then he will be able to fail under the double welcome of the heavenly calamity and the backlash.

Don't forget, the backlash of the Xuanming master level in her body has not been completely eradicated!

The mixed spiritual powers that suddenly surged into his body were instantly regarded as a life-saving straw by the backlash force that was like a candle in the wind. Before Qian Lin could react, all of the mixed spiritual powers were converted into his own strength.

Originally, under the effect of the feather mark given by the immortal, Xuanming had already been on the verge of death, but now, it is alive again!

"Tsk, if this continues, I will be frozen into an ice cube before I break through to the Venerable level." Qian Lin looked terrible as he tried hard to suppress the coldness running around in his body.

She suddenly had an outrageous idea. Could this be a trap set by heaven specifically for her?

Because the death of the spirit beast will increase the spiritual power in her body, and this increase in spiritual power will intensify the power of Xuanming's backlash. If this continues, Tiandao will not need the spirit beasts to attack Qian Lin at all, and can easily kill Qian Lin in the secret realm.

"But how does he know that my spiritual power can increase after the death of the spiritual beast? Even I am not very clear about this matter, and I have never encountered such a situation before..." Qian Lin felt her scalp tingling. She was really not the type to use her brain!

Before entering the secret realm, she herself didn't know that she could absorb the spiritual power of dead beasts to become stronger!

She didn't understand what the principle was. She only knew that Huoyu seemed to have the same problem as her. The girl's spiritual power also increased when her spirit beast died.

So the question is, why these two?

Is it because of the relationship with the divine beast? Then Ye Qiuhan also has a relationship with the divine beast, and the relationship is deeper than her and Huoyu. Why can't Ye Qiuhan encounter such a good thing?

After thinking about it, Qian Lin couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

"Since you can't think of it, don't think too much about it. If your reaction is so strong, then Huoyu might really be in big trouble." Ye Qiuhan's voice rang in Qian Lin's mind. She heard every word of Qian Lin's brainstorming just now.

Apart from being a little dissatisfied with a certain sentence, Ye Qiuhan had no objection to Qian Lin's idea for the time being.

"Perhaps it is because of your two special physical constitutions that Heaven thought of using this bloodless method to deal with you."

Huoyu and Qianlin are in the same boat on this matter. Once their strength grows too quickly, both of them will face life-threatening dangers.

"That's probably it... But I always feel that things are not that simple. For example, right now, I am not that important, so why would Heaven allow me to increase my spiritual power?" Qian Lin discovered the blind spot.

This is the Southern Territory, Huoyu is the key figure, and he can't die in a short time. It is reasonable and logical for Heaven to kill Huoyu first.

So in this case, shouldn't I get any spiritual power on my side? Instead, I can just give this spiritual power directly to Huoyu and kill him first, right?

Doesn’t God want to do this? That shouldn’t be the case, right?

Given that guy's personality, he could have easily eliminated these threats and would definitely not have resorted to such unnecessary measures as he is doing now.

Unless, even the Heavenly Dao itself cannot control such things.

"Don't insult Huoyu at this time... Hey, I saw my senior brothers and sisters!" Ye Qiuhan's voice suddenly became cheerful. Meeting his teammates who had entered the secret realm together before was like a blessing in disguise.

"I'm going to talk to my senior brothers and sisters. Qian Lin, wait for me."

After saying this, Ye Qiuhan fell silent.

Qian Lin continued to look at the bloody and cruel battlefield ahead with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Can we sneak over there quietly?" The late-stage grandmaster of Zhantian Sect muttered in a low voice.

It is almost impossible to kill his way through, as there are simply too many spirit beasts here, and his strength is not strong enough to chop down a grandmaster-level spirit beast with one sword. Once he is targeted by so many spirit beasts, he will probably have only one fate.

"We can give it a try, but we have to wait until the attention of these spirit beasts is distracted a little." Qian Lin could only think of sneaking past, as it was impossible to force his way through this situation.

As she spoke, she took out some spices from her storage bag and distributed them to the others in the team. "This is a special spice made by our Hehuan Valley. It can make the spirit beasts ignore us to a certain extent, but I don't know if this effect can be effective on these master-level spirit beasts."

This spice was prepared for her by Venerable Huanyue before she set out. It was said to have such an effect, but Qian Lin was not sure of its specific effect.

But after all, it is produced by the Venerable, so it should be more trustworthy, right?

The masters of the Zhantian Sect took the spices handed over by Qian Lin and sprinkled them on themselves without any hesitation.

For a moment, the area was filled with a very sweet aroma.

"Can this smell really make the spirit beasts ignore us?" The late-stage Grandmaster of Zhantian Sect frowned. Although spices had been used, he felt that the smell should be quite pungent.

Even he thought the taste was a bit too strong.

"Your Majesty told me so. How can I still doubt Your Majesty?" Qian Lin shrugged and his gaze suddenly turned into the distance.
