…………
Red mountains, red clouds, and red fire reflected half of the sky.
Waves of blazing qi descend from the sky, rise from the bottom, and then slowly surge and curl slowly, like dust and smoke rippling, and like clouds crossing and shining unparalleled!
This is a strange world, brilliant and mysterious!
When Lin Yi and Yuan Xinzi stepped onto the top of the mountain, they were secretly surprised by everything they saw. Especially the fire a hundred miles away was like a flaming ladder and unpredictable. There were figures wandering around and eager to try, obviously their way was blocked. Could it be that when you reach the end of the second floor of the Jiutian Tower, you only need to go up from here to reach the supreme realm on the third floor...
While the two of them were watching, Yuan Xinzi seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly pointed to the distance and said: "It is said that there is a communication barrier between the nine heavens, the 'Fire Sky Stage', which is divided into two parts. , two parts of heaven's yin fire, three parts of earth's yin fire, and three parts of earth's yin fire. It is very dangerous, and no one dares to approach it, but you and I can pass through it with our cultivation in the cave. Not difficult. As for the younger Immortal Lord... Oh, I understand..." He pretended to be in a state of confusion, and then said with great knowledge: "Yin and Yang coexist in all things in the world, and there must be Fire Lotus to overcome them. . This is the same truth as snakes and insects and detoxifying elixirs are born in the same nest. Only by finding the fire lotus can the young immortal king continue to move forward..."
When Yuan Xinzi finished speaking, he remained silent. In order to please Lin Yi, he personally carried out the robbery. Although he did not leave the fire lotus behind, he cut off the opportunity of a junior immortal king. To say any more is tantamount to asking for embarrassment.
Lin Yi learned the general situation of this place from Yuan Xinzi and nodded silently. As for the other party's thoughts, he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, after looking at the Fire Sky Stage for a moment, he dispersed his consciousness and looked at the figures far and near.
Yuan Xinzi observed the words and expressions, and couldn't help but said: "Lin Zun! The Nine Heavens Tower still has six floors, and there are no Dongtian fellows here..." The implication behind his words is that the real opportunity does not lie here. Since all the experts are rushing to climb the tower, it’s still important to hurry up. But in the middle of his words, he stopped talking and put on a mature and steady look with a deep smile.
Lin Yi is not as difficult to guess as Yuan Xinzi imagined. As long as you put aside your selfish thoughts and self-righteous shrewdness, getting along with him is easy. However, Yuan Xinzi is a little more petty, and sometimes it is inevitable that he will get into trouble.
At this time, a small group of people ran over from the bottom of the mountain. The leader of them was a middle-aged man with a beard. He was very surprised to see Lin Yi. He quickly strode closer and said with cupped hands: "Fellow Daoist Lin..." The old man who followed hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said: "Lin... Lin Zun..." !”
Those are the Jiuxuan of the Wild Valley and the Wuli of the Cuiming Valley. The two of them each brought several immortal masters from their clans, all of whom looked dusty.
Lin Yi raised his hand to say hello, smiled at the two of them and asked, "Where do you come from?"
Jiuxuan stopped three feet away and took a deep breath. Lin Yi was not arrogant or arrogant, which made him feel gratified. At any rate, we are in trouble together and have some friendship with each other. Although Laolong and Hutou encountered unexpected events in the wild valley, they were not at fault. But now the other party's cultivation and reputation are not trivial, but his speech and behavior are still so casual and peaceful. He stretched out his hand and gestured to the left and right, and said: "I have been waiting here for several days, but the weather is difficult to get through, so I tried to find another way, but found nothing, so I turned around and tried my luck!"
Wu Li echoed from the side: "It is said that the fire lotus unique to this place has the ability to ward off fire, but it has been snatched away long ago. We can only run around in vain..."
Lin Yi looked at Jiu Xuan and Wu Li and comforted him: "Let everything happen, how can you force it..."
The two of them nodded in agreement, but there was a look of unwillingness in their eyes. Once inside the pagoda, no one wants to stop there. Among them, Wu Li turned aside and stopped talking. Jiu Xuan understood something, hesitated again, and then said: "As Taoist friend Lin said, everything should be left to chance. But I, Ye Valley and Ming Cui Valley, are determined to attach themselves to the Demon City, and I don't know if they can accomplish it..."
Lin Yi didn't say anything anymore, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It doesn't matter what Tianning and Tianqi said, people came looking for backers one after another.
Not far away, Yuan Xinzi watched silently, his eyes shining. He seems to have foreseen the situation in the future. He has many people under his control and is famous both inside and outside the Demon City...
Wu Li hurriedly followed and begged: "For the sake of our descendants, I hope Lin Zun will be more considerate..."
Lin Yi suddenly lost interest in the small talk and interrupted: "What you two are asking for is inhumane. The Demon City has nothing to do with Lin!" He bypassed the other party in a flash, followed the top of the mountain and walked straight into the distance.
Yuan Xinzi was still immersed in reverie and suddenly woke up.
Since that man has accepted himself, Li Su and many other Demon City monks, why not take the opportunity to recruit more people? And how could the Demon City have nothing to do with him...
Yuan Xinzi lightly threw the sleeves of his robe and felt inexplicable, then hurriedly left the place.
Jiuxuan didn't expect that Lin Yi would leave without any warning and was a little at a loss.
Wu Li shook his head and complained softly: "What you said just now was inappropriate! It's enough to just rely on Lin Zun, so why mention the Demon City?"
Jiu Xuan scratched his beard and was speechless trying to argue...
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi had already rushed dozens of miles away.
On the top of the mountain, the situation remains the same. Many monks gathered on the side where they came from, and before Lin Yi approached, they all retreated. On the other side of the top of the mountain, there are cliffs and broken walls, filled with red mist, making people afraid to approach easily.
After going a few dozen miles, there was a large stone more than ten feet high blocking the road. Not far away, there were dozens of late-stage immortal monks gathered, each of them in a dilemma and looking hesitant.
Lin Yi slowed down his pace, and Yuan Xinzi followed.
The dozens of monks saw the arrival of the cave master, and they all dodged to the left and right. The ancient handwriting on the stone was clear at a glance: Huo Xiao.
If the Nine Heavens Tower is named after the Nine Heavens, the second-level Miaocheng Realm is different because of two high mountains. One is Zi Xiao and the other is Huo Xiao.
Thousands of feet away, there was a broken peak across the sky. On it, the flames shot up to the sky and the flames filled the sky. And the big stone in the middle, like a mainstay, blocked the way and blocked some of the imposing power of the fire wave!
Lin Yi patrolled the area and did not continue to move forward. Instead, he casually paced a few steps, went more than ten feet to the left, and stood alone on the cliff. In front of him, red fog rolled and the fire clouds were lingering. In the vast void, waves of burning waves came. For a moment, the clues were unpredictable...
I was going to continue on my way, but why did I start looking at the scenery again? Yuan Xinzi looked at Lin Yi's back and couldn't help feeling depressed. He snorted at the group of monks who were watching dozens of feet away, turned and walked a few steps, and said carefully: "Lin Zun! There is no time to lose..."
Lin Yi retracted his gaze from a distance and then cast his eyes on the cliff under his feet. What if the Fire Sky Steps is the passage to and from, and this cliff is the gap of the barrier? Thinking of this, he slowly turned around and said: "Lin wants to wait for the two brothers, you might as well go alone..." As his body-protecting magic power operated on its own, the messy hair on his clothes fluttered gently, and his knife-like tough face was covered with brilliance and refreshed. Especially the eyes under the thick eyebrows, the clouds were shining and unpredictable...
Yuan Xinzi panicked and smiled awkwardly: "Haha! I was anxious and confused, please don't blame me, Mr. Lin..." He said perfunctorily, secretly disagreeing. Those who do great things are ruthless! People outside the world are cut off from the world of mortals, so how can they have any brothers and sisters. This kind of dragging, alas...
At this moment, a group of figures emerged from the top of the mountain. The leader was a middle-aged man with a fair face, holding a flying sword and still murderous. The following twenty or so people were in a similar situation, most of them were injured, and they all looked exhausted!
Yuan Xinzi glanced back, and his depression disappeared. He turned around and said loudly: "Li Su! Come over to greet..."
That was a group of cultivators from the Demon City, but only half of them were left. Among them, Li Su had already seen Lin Yi and Yuan Xinzi, and quickly put away his flying sword, strode over, raised his hand and bowed with surprise and joy: "Lin Zun, Elder..." Then everyone followed suit, each of them still panting and looking relieved.
Lin Yi frowned slightly, and before he could speak, Yuan Xinzi asked without hesitation: "Why are you so late? Why don't you tell me the truth..."
Li Su replied: "I have already arrived at Huoxiao Mountain. Because it is difficult to cross the dangerous terrain, I searched for treasures to ward off fire and gathered with fellow Taoists. However, the fire lotus is rare and gradually went away..." He took a breath and continued: "Who would have thought that we would be robbed just after we got something? We fought hard and survived by chance, but unfortunately more than half of them were killed..." He turned to look around and spat angrily: "The gang of thieves had already crossed the border, otherwise, hum..."
Yuan Xinzi heard it clearly and said in surprise: "Could it be that you have the fire lotus in your hands?"
Li Su nodded and replied: "It's really lucky..."
Yuan Xinzi stroked his beard and was secretly happy. He has always suffered from not having subordinates waiting for orders, and now these twenty people are here at the right time!
Li Su suddenly turned to Lin Yi and said, "Mr. Lin! The two seniors, Lao Long and Hu Tou, have crossed the border in pursuit of their opponents..."
Lin Yi's expression slightly changed, and his eyes were fierce. Seeing this, Yuan Xinzi was even more angry, and raised his hand and scolded, "Mr. Lin, you must not lie in front of me!"
Li Su didn't understand, and hurriedly stepped back two steps, raised his hand and said, "Everything I said is true..."
Lin Yi's mouth suddenly showed a smile, and he said gently, "Li Su! You gathered the lost Taoist friends, and then led them back with blood. You really worked hard! Yuan Xinzi..." He praised Li Su and others, glanced at Yuan Xinzi, and then ordered, "Reward each person with 100 pieces of magic stones..."
"I don't..."
Yuan Xinzi didn't wait for Lin Yi to finish his words, his face froze, and he waved his hand without saying a word. 100 pieces of magic stones for each person, 20 people are 2,000 pieces. The merits and benefits did not go to him, but he had to pay for his life. How can this be true in the world?
Li Su was overjoyed and wanted to thank him. But Yuan Xinzi refused to acknowledge it, and he and the others were at a loss.
Lin Yi slowly put away his smile, his expression unclear.
Yuan Xinzi's eyes flashed, and he said in embarrassment: "Lin Zun! I really can't take it out..."
Lin Yi did not blame him, but raised his hand and threw out four Qiankun rings, signaling to Li Su: "Divide these, and reward them separately in the future..." He said no more, turned around and ran quickly, and jumped onto the ten-foot-high rock in the blink of an eye. Ahead, the flames burned the sky, and the scorching waves rolled...
