Chapter 16 The Fire Stealer

Panmen, one of the few major sects in Suzhou specializing in fire art, was established at the junction of Beihai and Suzhou.

Scientifically speaking, it is located at the junction of the continental plate and the oceanic plate.

Under this terrain, there are many volcanoes here, forming a large volcanic group.

Although the air is a little gray, but for the Fire Law Sect, they like this kind of place very much.

.........

According to the cognition of many people, places where volcanoes gather are often inaccessible.

The truth is just the opposite.

The volcanic ash brought by the volcanic eruption is an excellent natural fertilizer, so in fact, many mortals live next to the volcano, settle, farm, and multiply here.

Another volcano in the volcanic cluster erupted in commotion yesterday.

Early in the morning, Mi Xiu, a burly man in the village, opened the door.

Looking around, he saw that the weather was still gloomy, so he yelled to his wife and children in the house, then put on a mask to filter volcanic ash, and rushed towards the volcano that shook last night.

This is their task.

He was going to check to see if there was a strange fire born in the vibrating volcano.

Although there are various forms of birth of different fires, most of the volcanoes are different fires since ancient times.

Panmen established a sect here, and this is what they did.

The mortals in the village don't know how valuable the so-called strange fire is, but they know that a hundred years ago, the neighboring village discovered some unusual flame traces and reported them to the immortal sect called Panmen. It turned out to be rich resources enough to feed the whole village for three years.

This strange fire is really "fire"!

So whenever there is a volcanic commotion, they have to send people to check nearby to see if there is a so-called "different fire" in the world.

Of course, generally not.

In the past hundred years, they have also heard that a strange fire was discovered in the neighboring village, but this did not affect their enthusiasm.

Maybe?

This is like buying a lottery ticket. How many winners are there? You know everything, but there are still so many people who are willing to buy it?

.........

Mi Xiu is familiar with the road,

Coupled with the outstanding foot strength, after half a day, they were close to the volcano that rioted last night.

However, after seeing the whole picture of the volcano, Mi Xiu felt a little disappointed.

Because the volcano in front of me is a bit too small compared to the surrounding volcanoes.

In his simple cognition, the princess was going to live in the palace, and something like "Heavenly Flame", which is not easy to hear, must have come from a big volcano.

Disappointment is disappointment, he still came closer and searched carefully in the spirit of not coming in vain.

As a result, before he started to look carefully, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and the pupils in his eyes suddenly dilated.

Right in front of him, at the foot of the volcano, there is a cluster of red flames that have not been extinguished, blooming like lotus flowers.

This is a flame form he has never seen before.

Spooky, magnificent and charming.

This is a strange fire.

They once asked those superior cultivators what the so-called strange fire looked like.

Those superior cultivators just said that when you see the strange fire, you will naturally understand that it is the strange fire.

He has always been somewhat ignorant of this statement, but now, Mi Xiu finally understands the meaning.

The difference between this strange fire and other flames is really too big!

Although Mi Xiu only saw a bunch of flames and didn't see the body of the different fire, but he understood a truth simply, if you see an egg, doesn't it mean that there are chickens nearby?

In the same way, the same is true for different fires.

Mi Xiu's mood became uncontrollably excited.

Without hesitation, he returned to the village with nervousness and anticipation, and told the villagers what he had discovered.

Amidst the cheers of the whole village, the village chief solemnly took out an object with an extremely strange appearance, which looked like a firework.

The village chief lightly tapped the fire, and a ray of light rose into the sky, and finally exploded at a very high altitude.

The intense light changes dazzlingly.

This is a sacred object given to them by the masters. They said that as long as they found the strange fire, they would light this object and release it. After a while, they would receive a signal and appear here.

After about half a day, three red-robed monks roared over.

When the villagers saw these three people coming from the sky, they immediately huffed and knelt down, shouting to see the gods.

This is a scene that is rarely seen in Daxia City.

In the Great Xia city, although mortals are in awe of monks, they are not so worshiped as gods.

What's more, there are not a lot of monks in developed areas, if you see a monk, you have to kneel once, do you want to live?

As for the reason why the mortals in this village are so respectful, it is actually not what the masters asked for. The main reason is that this area is isolated from the world, which makes the mortals here not yet enlightened and have not seen too many markets.

The more primitive the place, the more serious the superstition, which is quite normal.

The three Shangxiu from Panmen spoke unexpectedly politely, and asked the villagers politely, "Did you discover the strange fire?"

Everyone quickly turned their attention to Mi Xiu in the crowd.

Mi Xiu held his head high, but stepped forward a few steps tremblingly, and reported his findings to the masters in a stuttering manner.

"Red lotus fire?" After listening to Mi Xiu's narration, Shangxiu was noncommittal, and soon came to a rough judgment.

"After I've confirmed that it's really a different fire, your rewards will be indispensable." Shangxiu thought for a while, and said to the villagers who were looking at the three of them eagerly.

The villagers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time worried about gains and losses.

It should... really be a strange fire, right?

"Where is the volcano where you found traces of the strange fire?" Shang Xiu asked Mi Xiu gently.

Mi Xiu hurriedly made gestures, and in his impatience, he blushed.

Panmen Shangxiu was not in a hurry, he listened calmly to Mi Xiu's words.

 …

The three Panmen Shangxiu, after learning the specific location where the strange fire appeared, set off again.

For Mi Xiu, half a day's journey, but for the three monks, it arrived in an instant.

Arriving near the small volcano, the leader of the three monks, Taoist Wuhuo, was moved in his heart, "Sure enough, there is an aura left by the strange fire here. It seems that those foolish people are not talking nonsense."

Taoist Wuhuo is one of the deputy suzerains of Panmen, and he is a cultivator of Erhua Lianxu, who has a very deep understanding of different fires. Since he said that he found the breath of different fires, it shows that there must be a different fire here.

Another one-flowered Panmen cultivator, Sanhuo Daoist, also showed joy on his face, "If you bring this red lotus fire back to the sect and refine it into the holy fire, the power of the holy fire will definitely increase again." steps."

The strange fire is a tyrannical thing, and it cannot be easily captured by others.

Therefore, the monks sent by Panmen this time are all experts in the sect, and they are all monks who refine the emptiness.

The last Panmen monk, Taoist Sihuo suddenly pointed to the top of the volcano and shouted: "Look at that!"

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Taoist Sihuo, and there was a flash of red light on the top of the mountain.

They didn't see its shape clearly, but what else could appear in this kind of place besides strange fire?

The three of them were so excited that they couldn't wait to rush to the top of the mountain.

Not long after, at a corner, a cluster of red flames exuding high temperature came into their eyes.

"I found you, my dear!" Taoist Wuhuo said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his head, as if something cut his mind out of thin air.

He hadn't recovered from the severe pain in his mind, and at this moment, his physical body also felt a heart-pounding pain.

An unimaginably sharp intention easily broke through his protective magic weapon and penetrated into his body.

When his consciousness was dying, Taoist Wuhuo vaguely saw three figures appearing not far from him.

"Trap?" was his last thought.

On the other hand, the situation of Taoist Sihuo and Taoist Sanhuo is also not much better.

The two lightning bolts pierced through their eyebrows almost at the same time.

"Brother Lu, what a trick!" Mo Yan, who had just appeared, subconsciously praised the three flying swords and one heart sword, which turned into four rainbow lights and escaped back into Lu Qingshan's body.

The strong point is not killing the three Void Refining cultivators, but killing them instantly.

Tantai Qingrun had a calm face, and even had an inexplicable sense of superiority in her heart—rare and strange, is this a good way? Then you haven't seen his better means....

Lu Qingshan smiled without saying a word.

This kind of Faxiu, whose strength is average, and whose mind is attracted by the strange fire, for him, it is really not too easy to kill, and there is nothing worthy of praise.

"What should we do next?" Tantai Qingrun asked with a frown after Mo Yan burned the bodies of the three of them to ashes.

"Keep waiting, they will bring the treasure to their door." Lu Qingshan has the chance to win.

 …

Panmen.

Xiaoxiu, who was guarding the soul lamp of the sect, entered the hall of the soul lamp as usual, and randomly scanned the hanging soul lamps for routine inspection.

Panmen is no bigger than Jianzong, and can light up a soul lamp for every disciple.

Therefore, the soul lamps hanging in this hall belong to the highest cultivators in the sect.

These major cultivators are all aged and refined, unlike young disciples who are full of arrogance and cause trouble everywhere, so he has guarded the Soul Lamp Hall for more than ten years, but nothing has happened. This minor cultivator is a little numb.

But today, this Panmen Xiaoxiu's numb life has been infused with a soul, giving it a brighter color.

Among the nine soul lamp halls in total, three soul lamps went out at the same time......

Xiaoxiu was stunned for a moment, at first he couldn't believe it, but after a while, Xiaoxiu, who came to his senses, immediately froze and shouted to report the situation to the Zongmen's senior management.

People are like this, they always feel that life is too ordinary, but when it is really exciting, they often can't stand it.

...

After half an hour.

In the main hall of the Panmen, it is full of refiners who are in power at the Panmen.

They are discussing the extinguishment of the soul lamps of Taoist Sanhuo, Taoist Sihuo, Taoist Wuhuo, and three Xuxu cultivators.

"Have you asked clearly?" Panmen Sect Master Jiuhuo Daoist's voice was flaming, hoarse and irritable.

"Ask clearly, the three juniors received the news from below, saying that some mortals found the trace of the strange fire, and went to capture the strange fire in person.

Soon after, the soul lamp was completely extinguished, apparently an accident occurred during the process of capturing the strange fire. Taoist Liuhuo looked solemn.

"Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?" Taoist Jiuhuo murmured.

"So far, we are not completely sure," Taoist Liuhuo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "But master, if this is a natural disaster, it means that the strange fire discovered this time will be so tyrannical that it is unimaginable. Wuhuo and the others teamed up, and they all perished under this strange fire!"

As soon as Taoist Liuhuo finished speaking, fanaticism flashed across the eyes of the other major cultivators.

The demise of the three members of the same sect did not seem to have brought them too much emotion, but the possible existence of a powerful strange fire moved them greatly.

Taoist Jiuhuo also knew what Liuhuo meant.

This group of powerful different flames that may exist is something they must not miss.

This is the reason why their Panmen exists.

As for the three fellow disciples who died...

If you die, you will die, anyway, a dead fellow Taoist will never die a poor Taoist.

"The power of the holy fire has been stuck above the current level for a long time, no matter how we sacrifice, it will be difficult to advance.

If we can refine this strange fire, we will surely be able to break through again, and then we will sacrifice the advanced holy fire to Thunder Beast Venerable, everyone here will be brilliant! Taoist Liuhuo continued, breathing rapidly.

Others also showed their hearts when they heard the words.

"It's very true, we naturally have no reason to miss the different fires," Taoist Nine Fires responded, "What do you think should be done?"

Taoist Liuhuo was the first to answer the conversation again, and said loudly: "If Wuhuo and the others were killed by the counterattack of the different fire, it can be seen that the divine power of the different fire is so strong that we can easily subdue it, so the master, this trip must be successful." Using the holy fire, only the holy fire can restrain this powerful strange fire......

If it is a man-made disaster, the monks who can kill Wuhuo and them must not be easy to give to each other. It is not known who will win and who will lose when they meet on a narrow road, and only by sending out the holy fire can they be sure. By the way, they should avenge the three fellow disciples! "

The others nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

"Very well, Liuhuo has considered everything carefully, then follow what Liuhuo said.

I took the holy fire, and the six fires and seven fires walked with me, and the three of us went to explore it! "Jiuhuo Taoist also nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice.

The three refining cultivators are all Sanhua cultivators, plus the irresistible power of the holy fire...

Suzhou is so big, where can't we go?

The fire comes with the wind, and the fire falls between heaven and earth!

They are full of confidence.

Now that the decision has been made, the three Panmen monks acted vigorously, but after half a quarter of an hour, they left the sect in the light of the escape.

 …

The three overhauls of the Panmen quickly found the place where the accident happened.

After searching carefully, they found some unusual burn marks on the top of the mountain, which were difficult to disappear.

Apart from that, there is nothing else of value.

Because of the power of the strange fire, there are often not even ashes left in other things.

Taoist Liuhuo and Taoist Qihuo turned their attention to their "Suzerain" at this time.

Taoist Jiuhuo's face changed, and he said softly: "The holy fire has become manic..."

When Liu Huo and Qi Huo heard the words, their expressions became tense, and at the same time, a trace of uncontrollable joy flashed across their faces.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and such a violent thing like different fire cannot coexist.

The flame went wild, indicating the presence of a second "tiger" nearby.

Come on!

"Find it!" Taoist Liuhuo excitedly said: "This is a powerful strange fire that can counterattack Wuhuo and others to death. As long as we capture him, we will all be prosperous!"

Taoist Qihuo and Taoist Jiuhuo both nodded their heads in agreement.

As for the three fellow disciples who passed away, they had already forgotten about them and left them aside.

If the death of three members of the same sect can be exchanged for a strange fire, they can't wait for the entire sect to die except themselves!

Compared with one's own interests, what is the death of a "same sect"?

On the contrary, the more people from the same sect die, the more he can enjoy the benefits, isn't it beautiful?

Thinking like this, a gentle voice suddenly came out at this moment.

"Three, are you going to find this?"

Looking in the direction of the voice, the three of them realized that in front of them, at some point, a young man in a black robe appeared.

In the man's hand, a mass of red flames was constantly shaking, and with the movements of the male cultivator, like a toy, it was constantly being thrown up and then falling down.

That is a strange fire!

The eyes of the three focused on the flames, full of greed.

And behind them, at this time also appeared a man and a woman, two ordinary-looking monks, blocking their retreat.

The three are in a siege

At this time, how could the three major cultivators of Panmen not understand that Wuhuo's death was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

However, after carefully feeling the cultivation bases of the three of them, it was determined that the one with the highest cultivation base was no more than a vain master. In addition, they also brought the sacred fire with them on this trip, and the three Panmen monks immediately became full of confidence.

"Who are you?" Taoist Jiuhuo said coldly, "Wuhuo and the others died in your hands?"

"It should be," the male cultivator standing behind them looked at the three of them with a half-smile and said, "As for who we are..."

The man Xiu paused, and said with a strange expression: "You can call us Prometheus."

"Pro...Metheus?" Not only were the three Panmen major cultivators confused, but even the companions of the male cultivators also cast doubtful glances.

Seeing that no one could answer, the male cultivator curled his lips a little depressed, but didn't say anything else.

Because, what is more embarrassing than throwing a stalk and no one picks it up is to explain your stalk...

"Get out." The next moment, the male cultivator let out a low shout, and made a bold move!
