Before the Empress Goes Dark, Adopt Her as a Villain

Chapter 270: Hidden Flame

Three days later, the flying boat landed in Lingyan City, northwest of Dayu.

The passengers who had communicated with each other and exchanged words in the hypocritical warmth during the three-day journey immediately became strangers when they got off the flying boat and dispersed without saying a word.

This is the city closest to Danta. Next, they will continue to walk northwest, passing through a deserted wilderness, until the earth cracks and the snow-white top of Danta appears on the horizon.

Those people who didn't know which sects they came from and had their own plans in mind scattered, perhaps waiting for someone, or perhaps preparing to enter Danta. But Ning Wuxie didn't need to. He got off the flying boat and walked directly out of the city, ready to head for Danta.

After leaving the city gate, Ning Wuxie soon found that he was not alone. There were many people, either alone or in a team, also trekking in the wilderness, all in the same direction!

Ning Wuxie smiled slightly, this time it was interesting.

He and Xuan'er put on black robes to cover their faces, stepped on the flying sword and prepared to set off.

"Senior!" A shout suddenly came from behind, Ning Wuxie looked back and saw that it was Ye Liang and Ye Yong!

"Senior, why are you in such a hurry to go to Danta? Wait for us." Ye Liang came over familiarly.

"Why should I go to Danta with you? I have my own things to do."

"Because..." Ye Liang scratched his head, "Because you are a Confucian gentleman, you won't let us be killed by bad guys."

"Haha," Ning Wuxie smiled slightly, lifted the black collar in front of him, and covered his face, "You are wrong, I am not a Confucian disciple, and I don't know you."

"If you come to interfere with me, I might kill you without any hesitation."

Unexpectedly, Ye Liang was not afraid when he heard this, but opened his eyes excitedly.

"That's even better!"

"?" Ning Wuxie looked surprised, "Do you want to die?"

"How is that possible? My purpose is the same as my predecessors, I want to muddy the water." Ye Liang raised his eyebrows and said to his brother behind him, "Brother, show them what you can do!"

Ye Yong walked to the front after hearing this, looked at Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, his eyes shrinking, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, my flame... is auxiliary."

Ning Wuxie was not afraid, and signaled him to start.

Ye Yong lifted his black robe and reached out to take down the black lantern hanging around his waist, holding it in front of him. Inside it was a ball of light gray flame, blazing and jumping.

But as Ye Yong blew a breath into the lantern, the swaying gray flame instantly turned black, getting darker and darker, until Ning Wuxie seemed to see a silhouette dancing in the lantern, which did not emit any light.

Ye Yong let go of his hand, and the lantern did not fall, but floated in the air, and then the ball of black flame flowed out like a river, rolling towards Ning Wuxie's body.

Ning Wuxie watched the black flames wrap around him, and he didn't feel any temperature, but Xuan'er beside him gasped in surprise.

"Brother, your body is gone."

Ning Wuxie looked at his body, standing on the ground, but Xuan'er said he couldn't see it.

"Don't worry, my brother is not finished yet." Ye Liang smiled.

Ning Wuxie saw that his whole body was completely wrapped in black flames, but his vision was still intact, and his limbs were moving freely.

"Brother?" Xuan'er turned around and looked at Ning Wuxie in surprise.

"Senior, can you still see his face clearly?" Ye Liang asked Xuan'er proudly, as if he was selling his own products.

"I can't see it, brother, I can't see your face at all, even if I use my spiritual sense to spy on it."

"You can't do it?" Ning Wuxie was shocked, Xuan'er's soul was a few points stronger than his own soul.

"No," Xuan'er shook her head, "and your appearance has changed, into a dwarf." Xuan'er said as she moved her eyes down and stared at Ning Wuxie's chest.

"Hmm? I've gotten shorter?!" Ning Wuxie walked forward and touched Xuan'er's head, "Have I gotten shorter?"

"Really, you are standing on tiptoe to touch my head now..."

Ning Wuxie was surprised.

"This is my brother's strange fire, 'Secret Flame'. You can understand its use from the name, right?" Ye Liang slapped Ye Yong on the shoulder, and the latter lowered his head shyly.

"Senior, please take us with you. My brother can protect you from being discovered at any time. Isn't this very useful?"

The black flames faded, Ning Wuxie's face became clear, and his true figure was revealed.

Ye Liang was right. This secret flame is really useful. Even Xuan'er's consciousness can't detect it. Isn't it 100% anonymous?

I want to seize the corpse of the beast for Baizhou, which is equivalent to snatching food from the hands of Wuyuan Zhenren.

If there is such a secret identity ability, it will be perfect!

Ning Wuxie looked at Ye Liang and Ye Yong, and after a moment, he said, "Do you have a flying magic weapon?"

Ye Liang's face lit up: "Yes!"

...

On the barren wasteland, a group of four people flew towards the Dan Tower. Ye Yong and Ye Liang were slow, so Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er had to stop from time to time to wait for them.

"Senior, why is this area all wasteland?" Ye Liang asked, probably because he wanted Ning Wuxie to go with them.

"As a fire-driller in the Strange Fire Tower, don't you know why the Dan Tower has fallen to this point? This is your ancestral land."

Ye Liang scratched his head, "I've always had a headache about history. Tell me about it, senior."

Ning Wuxie laughed, and seeing that Ye Liang really wanted to listen, he said:

"Once upon a time, this was the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Lingwu Continent. This barren wilderness was actually full of spiritual plants, and even demon beasts with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation lived here."

"Until one day, the spiritual eyes here began to dry up, and the spiritual energy emitted became weaker day by day, so the spiritual plants died and the demon beasts fled."

"But it shouldn't have become a wasteland like this." Ye Liang asked.

"The story is not over yet."

"The alchemists in Danta were unwilling to give up and watch the precious medicinal materials disappear. They secretly refined a huge formation to cover the area of ​​the previous Eye of Aura, trying to forcibly extract aura from the earth again."

"They succeeded. This is why the world was in chaos after the Great Xia Dynasty fell apart, but Danta didn't collapse until three thousand years ago."

"But these thousands of years of extraction have also turned this land into this. When you get close to Danta, you will see the earth cracking like it is broken, and Danta is also broken from it. The Danta in the past can be regarded as a real tower of Babel. The height can be seen here."

"Unfortunately, everything has become a thing of the past. That Han Feng is said to be an evil pharmacist who used his alchemy talent to do some evil experiments, causing him to be wanted by the whole world."

Ning Wuxie didn't know anymore. Although Han Feng was an evil pharmacist, he acted extremely low-key. He basically lived in seclusion in Danta and didn't come out. In the previous life, Renzong didn't carry out a special encirclement and suppression against him.

"What did he do?" Ye Liang and Ye Yong looked like curious babies, with their eyes wide open.

"Puppet refining." Ning Wuxie said indifferently.

"Puppet?!"

"Well, or you can call it a medicine man. Han Feng used medicine to transform all his patients into puppets without souls and only obeyed his command."

Ye Liang and Ye Yong looked stunned, and Ye Yong couldn't help but shudder.

The few people stopped talking and continued on their way. Suddenly, a white thing appeared on the horizon.

"Senior, look, that is..."

Everyone saw that it was the top of a tower.

"Didn't the senior say that the Dan Tower was broken in the middle?" Ye Liang turned his head and asked with his eyes wide open.

But Ning Wuxie was also surprised. According to his understanding, the Dan Tower was indeed broken?

Could it be repaired and rebuilt again? ! By Han Feng?

How could it be possible...
