The four of them approached Red Rock City. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, they didn't move too quickly.
"Thanks, here's your token." Yan Li handed over Xue Tianya's identity token.
"I wonder how the situation at the stronghold is. The Pure Yang Shrine and the Mystic Divine Sect are in charge of the frontline, while the Kunlun Dao Court's Court of Sword and the Five Elements Court of the Lotus Seat of the Dragon Elephant Mountain are in charge of the rescue. He only has the Upper Wilderness God Temple under him, and he has to fight against the Devil Race and Ghost Race led by Li Xueyi. Xue Tianya retracted his gaze from the Red Rock Stronghold and smiled, "You're welcome."
"That's the only solution." Liang Youyu said, "After all, once Red Rock City falls, the Demon-Buster Conference will end in defeat. Once the Nine Elites' reputations are tarnished, the Three Realms will be in turmoil. The Dragon Monarch is full of ambition, and I'm afraid that he will seize this opportunity to stir up some waves. "
Xue Tianya's expression turned cold as he said, "Hmph, the Lost Mental Demon incident this time is definitely related to them. After the Demon-Buster Conference is over, we will slowly settle the score with them."
Liang Youyu said, "Looks like the situation in the human world is about to change greatly."
"Speaking of the Human Realm," Xue Tianya asked curiously, "Brother Yan seems to know those two thieves from the Human Realm?"
"I have indeed dealt with Nine Steps of the Civet," Yan Li said.
Liang Youyu said, "What's going on? I'm still in a daze. How did Red Rock City fall? "
"That's right, Brother Yan, tell us about it," Xue Tianya said.
Yan Li said, "There are two missions in the Nine Steps. One is to bring the Lost Demon into the city with his identity, and the other is to lure me to the treasury where the blueprints are kept, so that you can catch me red-handed and I won't be able to explain myself. Actually, there was no need to steal the map for the nine steps. Zhou Wenlong had already given the map to the demons, and the Purgatory Formation had already been set up. These extra arrangements were just to frame me. "
"Yes, in order to extend his lifespan, Zhou Wenlong fell into the temptation of the Demon Race. In order to exchange for the Demon Race's heart, he was willing to be ordered around. This is truly fatal!" Xue Tianya's expression was grave as he said, "It seems that the Nine Elites are not doing enough in this aspect. The Bad Commander is such an important position; they should be more stringent in the selection process."
Yan Li nodded and said, "They didn't expect the civet to have a trick up its sleeve. They didn't kill it immediately, but they still found the civet one step ahead of us. You know what happened after that."
"Then how did Brother Yan know that there was a problem with the cards?" Xue Tianya asked.
"I discovered early on that this tile was personally carved by Zhou Wenlong. His craftsmanship is not bad, and I also have some experience in this field, so I studied it carefully and discovered that it was a completely different world." Yan Li shrugged. "Unfortunately, he didn't expect me to recognize Liuying Fan. From then on, I had my suspicions. In the end, the evidence that confirmed his identity as a spy was that he came to frame me."
"What if he tampered with my cards? How will Brother Yan prove himself then?" Xue Tianya couldn't help but ask.
Yan Li smiled, "You just need to remove the Firefly Powder from the cards."
"But that way, we won't be able to expose him as a spy," Xue Tianya said.
"That's right." Yan Li said, "But there is no perfect plan in this world. If we want to succeed, we have to take some risks. It's worth it to take my personal risk to get rid of a hidden tumor for the Nine Elites of Confucian orthodoxy."
Xue Tianya felt deep respect for him, "Brother Yan, I should apologize to you."
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
Xue Tianya smiled bitterly, "When I first saw you, I had some misunderstandings. I thought you were a bandit, so I looked down on you. But after that, everything that Brother Yan did made me admire you. Only now do I realize that some people have their own difficulties."
Yan Li smiled and didn't say anything.
"But Brother Yan, I still won't give up on Lady Zhi Yuan," Xue Tianya smiled, "You have to keep an eye on her, don't let me take advantage of her."
Liang Youyu finally understood what happened and couldn't help but smile, "I heard that the new disciple of the Court Of Sword caused that demoness Li Xue Yi to suffer several times. It seems to be true. If it wasn't for Yan Li, we would have all been trapped."
"Hmph," Emperor Han suddenly quickened his pace.
Xue Tianya smiled apologetically, "My Eldest Senior Brother has such a temper, please forgive him."
The three hurried up and reached the edge of the huge crater. They were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
In the middle of the crater was half of Red Rock City wrapped in a giant bubble. The other half had completely sunk in. Around it was a thick, nauseating liquid, so dark that it made one's scalp numb. It didn't emit a stench, but it made living creatures instinctively stay away.
A deep chill hit them in the face. Just the aura alone was bone-chilling.
"This is the Yin Nether River?" Yan Li couldn't imagine the demon race drinking this kind of water. No wonder they wanted to invade the Immortal World. The conditions were too harsh!
Liang Youyu saw through Yan Li's thoughts and smiled, "Little Brother Yan, you're wrong. The demon race can't drink it directly. After purification, it's not much different from normal water."
"The water level is rising, we have to move faster!" Emperor Han suddenly said.
"Then let's move." Liang Youyu made a hand seal and a Connate Cauldron appeared above his head. His Connate Cauldron became more solid, as if it was real. At his level, he didn't need to say anything. He could move the universe with just his hand gestures. The cauldron emitted a clear light that slowly solidified around the four of them, forming a transparent barrier.
"We're going into the water. Pay attention to your own defenses. The barrier can block the Yin Nether River, but it can't block the extreme chill." Liang Youyu said worriedly. After the three of them nodded, he controlled the barrier to move forward.
Yan Li felt his body move on its own. He was wrapped in the transparent barrier. His body wasn't being controlled, but he could move forward with it. It was very miraculous. In the water, he felt a sinking feeling. His expression changed. As expected, he couldn't overcome his fear of water.
This barrier blocked the water aura completely. Only endless chill seeped in. He gradually adapted to it. He used his True Qi to maintain the temperature while observing the surroundings. Suddenly, he found the other three had their eyes closed. They must have released their divine sense to observe. He thought about it and gave up the risk. After all, divine sense was fundamentally different from sword soul. The latter was too closely connected to the body. If he couldn't block the Yin Nether River, the body would be in trouble.
Xue Tianya said, "As expected, after leaving the Yin Nether River, the chill has weakened a lot. This is our chance."
"Yes, but it's better to be careful." Liang Youyu said.
The barrier moved slowly. They couldn't see past it at all. They could only use their divine sense to check.
Yan Li suddenly felt the change in the water flow. It was like there was a large school of fish swimming.
"Something's coming!" Emperor Han made a hand seal. A white light shot out from the barrier and shone over. The four of them looked carefully and couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
PS: Let me talk about the update plan. Next month will still be a single chapter, but there will be a Thursday chapter. So, we need to save the chapters first. (Write three chapters a day and release one chapter. Save twenty chapters.)
