Chapter 85 Sea of ​​Fire (Second Update)

The Flame Sea, where the Three Islands Sea and the Flame Islands Sea meet, is densely covered with volcanoes and has high sea temperatures all year round. There are some strange creatures living in it, such as fire spirits, flame fish, crimson octopus, etc.

It is said that the Flame Islands Sea and the Flame Sea were the residences of the Suzaku clan in ancient times. Unfortunately, after the Great Destruction, the terrain here has also changed dramatically. The Suzaku clan's nest has long been buried deep in the sea, and the Suzaku clan does not know where to go.

Originally, the sect was only responsible for guarding the mine in the Flame Sea, but decades ago, the Flame Sea was abnormal and volcanic eruptions occurred frequently, so there was an additional patrol mission.

Shi Xuan frowned, thinking about this mission. This was the first time he received a mission that needed to be performed outside the sect. Could it be that Meng Yuchang and others were making trouble again? But aren't they very satisfied with the fact that they are on duty in the Yinfeng Cave, so their cultivation is not improving quickly? In the past two years, Meng Yuchang has come to the Yinfeng Cave to laugh at him, and the mission of guarding the Yinfeng Cave last month has not changed.

However, something strange must be going on. Shi Xuan could only be careful. The Wanxiang Invisible Sword had already reached the second level of perfection. His speed in controlling the sword light had greatly increased. With the help of Xiaoyou Qingfeng Escape, he had a great chance of escaping if there was any danger.

Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan both expressed their concerns in private, but they didn't know what Meng Yuchang and the others were thinking.

When they saw Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing at the gathering place on the day of departure, and saw their malicious smiles that could not be concealed, Shi Xuan had a premonition that this time might be extremely dangerous.

The Soul-Bewitching Banner also had twenty-two layers of restrictions. When the second level was perfected, the foul mist turned into a reversed soul-bewitching foul array. If it could absorb more sinister and fierce foul air, evil spirits, and diseased air in the future, the power of this array would not only weaken and trap the enemy. Unfortunately, Shi Xuan had been concentrating on cultivation for the past two years and did not look for those fierce foul air, evil spirits, and diseased air.

The Heart Wind Sword was also successfully cultivated during Shi Xuan's rapid improvement in cultivation. However, these are not guarantees that Shi Xuan can escape from the hands of the Qi-inducing cultivators. Shi Xuan's only life-saving trump card is the Taiyin Lung Yang Gengjin sword energy.

With confidence, Shi Xuan calmed down, pretended to be panic-stricken on the surface, and stood among the outer disciples. In conjunction with the surprise when he saw Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing just now, he showed the fear and helplessness to the fullest, and only saw Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing's faces full of joy.

This time, there were a total of four inner disciples and sixteen outer disciples on patrol. The other two inner disciples were Yan Wanxiao, who was serious and silent, and Duan Yang, who had a kind smile and a gentle tone.

On the Chuanyun Boat, four inner disciples sat on one side and sixteen outer disciples sat on the other side. Unfortunately, Shi Xuan was famous, and Meng Yuchang was there, so those outer disciples didn't dare to talk to him. This was exactly what Shi Xuan wanted, and he had to think about this matter carefully.

Meng Yuchang took great pains to transfer himself to the patrol team, but it was not out of kindness, nor was it for ridicule. If he wanted to ridicule, he could go to Yinfeng Cave every month to ridicule him. Then, whether it was to make things difficult for him, force him to break the sect rules, or secretly cripple him, or even get rid of him, it would be possible.

If they just made things difficult for him and forced him to break the sect rules, he would not be afraid. He could just treat them as vicious dogs barking and just do what he should do.

If they secretly crippled him, or even got rid of him, it would be impossible to do it in front of these inner and outer disciples. Could they kill him to silence him? The disappearance of one was an accident, and even two inner disciples were all missing. Even an ancestor with a golden elixir master could not bear it.

In this case, the opportunity to attack should be during the patrol of the sub-team in the next five days, and they are also confident that they can escape the round light tracing technique of the Jindan Grandmaster. It is said that the round light tracing technique extracts various information from the surrounding environment and finally restores the entire scene. The environment of the sea of ​​fire is the most conducive to destruction. After killing at the entrance of the volcanic cave, the body is directly thrown into the cave. When the volcano erupts next time, the Jindan Grandmaster will no longer find any traces.

Hehe, Shi Xuan sneered in his heart. If Meng Yuchang wanted to kill him, it would be a good opportunity for him to take revenge. The only thing to worry about is that the two of them would attack together. He didn't have the ability to deal with two Qi-inducing cultivators at the same time, because he only had the power of one blow, and he would need to be re-warmed for several months before using it again. In fact, even if it was a Qi-inducing cultivator, if it wasn't for the support of Taoist magic, Shi Xuan would just be dead.

In addition, he could only lock the opponent within five feet when using the Taiyin Lung Yang Gengjin sword energy, so he had to consider how to use it appropriately and how to create the best distance.

Meng Yuchang tried to kill him first, and killing him in self-defense did not violate the sect's precepts, and he was not afraid of the round light back-tracing technique. However, to kill him, he would have to expose his Taoist magic. It would be best if he could not be reflected by the round light back-tracing technique. The environment of this sea of ​​fire is really good.

After deciding on the action plan, Shi Xuan settled down and concentrated on practicing.

The Chuanyun Boat flew quickly, reaching a speed of a thousand miles in a day and night. Therefore, six days later, Shi Xuan and his team reached the sea of ​​fire.

From a distance, the sea of ​​fire is a fiery red sea water, because there are reflections of volcanoes that erupt from time to time in the sea water, and the red ore that magma flows into the sea water and settles. After hundreds of thousands of years, the color of the sea water has become like this. And there is a volcanic island every few miles on the sea surface. If you count them roughly, there are probably thousands of them.

Such a strange and spectacular scene made Shi Xuan feel extremely beautiful. If he hadn't had so many things on his mind, patrolling here for fifteen days would be a good thing.

Entering a small island in the Flame Sea, Shi Xuan and his team stepped out of the Piercing Cloud Boat, and a wave of heat came over them, more than twice as hot as the hottest time of summer. Therefore, there are only some strange plants and strange animals here. If these volcanic ores did not contain a lot of good refining materials, I'm afraid few disciples of the sect would be willing to guard here.

After handing over to the previous patrol team, Shi Xuan and his team entered the mining area where the formation was arranged. It was cool inside. Only in such an environment would low-level casual cultivators be willing to come here to dig ores for the Penglai Sect, so as to fight for a good reward. Otherwise, with the situation outside, these low-level casual cultivators can't even stay for a day.

The people in charge here are an inner door deacon and three outer door deacons, plus some inner door disciples and outer door disciples on duty here.

The low-level casual cultivators coming and going were very envious of the disciples of Penglai Sect, and they followed all the rules and etiquette, which made Shi Xuan enjoy a completely different feeling in the sect.

"Junior Brother Shi." It was the silent and serious Yan Wanxiao who called Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan looked at him in confusion: "What do you want, Senior Brother Yan?"

Yan Wanxiao opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't say anything. After several times, he made up his mind and said: "I think Meng Yuchang and the others are afraid of harming you, Junior Brother Shi. You should be in the same team with me during the patrol in the next five days. Uncle Ming should be out of retreat soon. If you avoid this time, they won't dare to do anything to you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Yan. Shi will definitely keep your reminder in mind." It turned out that Ming Qingyue was about to come out of retreat, and Meng Yuchang and the others were desperate. Regardless of whether Yan Wanxiao was really kind or reminded him for Ming Qingyue's sake, Shi Xuan had to express his deep gratitude.

However, Shi Xuan did not think Yan Wanxiao could stop Meng Yuchang. People with misguided minds were not so easy to deal with. Just looking at the six days on the Chuanyun Boat, Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing had not come to trouble him once, which showed how determined they were to get rid of him. Moreover, Meng Yuchang was the captain of this patrol, so it was naturally his decision how to arrange the patrol team.

Yan Wanxiao left with worries, but Shi Xuan was relieved because Yan Wanxiao mentioned that each team would be composed of two people at that time, which saved him from his biggest worry.

The next ten days were calm. Shi Xuan saw a fire spirit who could talk and cast spells like a ball of fire in the sea of ​​fire, as well as a palm-sized crimson octopus - it spewed out magma instead of ink, a flame fish with a layer of flame on the surface but delicious meat inside, a dead fire tree that looked withered but actually each leaf could turn into a fireball, and the blazing fire gold contained in the volcanic ore - the best material for refining fire instruments.

Today is the day for the patrol. Two people will go into the depths of the sea of ​​flames to check for any abnormalities.

"Junior Brother Meng, this time I will be in the same team with Junior Brother Shi." To the surprise of others, Yan Wanxiao directly asked Meng Yuchang to be in the same team with Shi Xuan, which made those outer disciples very confused.

Meng Yuchang's face was livid: "Am I the captain, or are you the captain? Shi Xuan and Ma Yuanjing are in the same team, and you and I are in the same team." It is necessary to monitor Yan Wanxiao himself, so as not to ruin the good thing. As for the matter of killing, how can I dirty my hands.

Yan Wanxiao reiterated his opinion again and tried to pull Duan Yang along, but unfortunately Duan Yang hesitated for a moment and still expressed his willingness to follow the captain's arrangement, so Yan Wanxiao had no choice but to give up.

After the teams were divided and their respective routes were assigned, Meng Yuchang announced that they could set off.

He nodded gratefully to Yan Wanxiao. In his anxious and worried eyes, Shi Xuan drove the Qinggang Sword and flew to the depths of the sea of ​​flames with the red light transformed by Ma Yuanjing's Liuhuo Sword.

"Brother Yan, let's go." Meng Yuchang said calmly. The route of the two of them was not far from that of Ma Yuanjing and Shi Xuan. Meng Yuchang arranged it this way mainly to prevent accidents.

Yan Wanxiao sighed, controlled his Green Water Sword, turned into a green sword light and followed Meng Yuchang.

After flying for about a hundred miles, a volcanic island with green smoke appeared in front of them, which seemed to be about to erupt. Ma Yuanjing did not hide it and said to Shi Xuan with a smile: "Brother Shi, I know that you can't fly for a long time in the Out-of-Body Stage. Why don't you rest here before leaving."

Shi Xuan glanced at him, pretended not to resist, nodded in agreement, and the two flew to the volcanic island.

However, what the two did not notice was that the sea water within a radius of hundreds of miles began to bubble, as if something was brewing.

When Ma Yuanjing saw that the volcanic island was about to go down, a loud rumble came, and a huge column of sea water rushed into the sky. The aftermath alone shocked Ma Yuanjing and Shi Xuan. The same was true for other team disciples who were very close to here.

From afar, a seawater column with a radius of dozens of miles connected the sky and the sea, and soared into the sky. Hundreds of volcanic islands nearby erupted at the same time, and hundreds of flame columns set off the seawater column with a fiery red.

Such a large battle naturally alarmed the deacons of Penglai Sect. The leading inner sect deacon said: "There have been abnormalities there for decades. At first, we were on high alert, but there was no movement, so we relaxed. I didn't expect it to erupt today. Now there are disciples trapped inside. We should notify the sect as soon as possible."
