CHAPTER 2136: CHAPTER 2136
The Eternal Flame
"This flame …"
Ning Qi looked at the fire in his palm. He felt a little warm, but he didn't feel any discomfort. Just now, he had unconsciously raised his hand. It was as if he had been influenced by something after entering this hall.
At this time, someone tentatively took a step back. When he discovered that there were no more strange flames, he immediately heaved a long sigh of relief. He looked at Ning Qi with fear and a trace of admiration. He had thought that Ning Qi had resolved this crisis.
Rumble …
A loud noise came from all around the hall. The stones on the ground sank, and when they rose again, they'd turned into nine candlesticks!
The nine candlesticks were extremely exquisite. Complicated patterns were carved on them. Upon closer inspection, the patterns seemed to be able to suck in one's soul, making one feel suffocated. Meng Xituo and Ming Di spent a dozen breaths of time before they regained their senses. They looked at each other in shock.
These nine candlesticks were clearly what Zhao Lan wanted them to find!
"What should we do?"
Meng Xituo secretly transmitted his voice.
"What else can we do?"
Ming Di glanced at him coldly. What else could they do at this point? With their cultivation, would they dare to snatch the nine candlesticks from this senior?
"What a pity …"
Meng Xituo sighed inwardly. If they could bring these nine candlesticks out, they might be able to leave the Second Heaven and reach the Third Heaven or even the Fourth Heaven. At their level, although they were almost invincible in the Second Heaven, it was extremely difficult to break through the bottleneck and reach the Void Nether realm. They would only have a chance if they reached the Third Heaven or the Fourth Heaven!
"So this is the Eternal Flame."
Ning Qi's eyes brightened as he looked at the statues around him. He had a faint feeling that this flame was prepared for him by the statues. Perhaps the original bodies of these statues had left behind a wisp of divine sense here, just like the woman in front of him!
"The mission will be completed if I light the Eternal Flame. Will this place disappear if I do?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Ning Qi's eyes. He had entered the Netherworld River Divine Palace to complete the mandatory mission that the system had assigned to him. But now, he wanted to stay in the Netherworld River Divine Palace for a while and see if that woman had left any more clues. The Netherworld River Divine Palace was huge, and there had to be other places after Yan Luo Dian.
Bang –
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside. The cultivators outside the hall quickly turned to look. The source of the noise seemed to be from the Jade Lake.
Could it be that another cultivator came in and happened to encounter the three thousand minotaurs and the headless body?
"This commotion … Could it be that Ambassador Zhao Lan has entered?"
Meng Xituo's expression changed slightly.
Emperor Ming didn't say a word. He calmly turned around and looked over. His guess was the same as Meng Xituofan's. Zhao Lan must have come in to cause such a huge commotion. Otherwise, with the headless body and the three thousand minotaurs' strength, any ordinary cultivator would be able to kill them easily. There was no way there would be such a huge commotion!
…
Outside the Jade Pool.
Zhao Lan stood nearby with a complicated expression, watching the two figures fighting the headless body and the three thousand minotaurs.
Occasionally, some minotaurs would find him, but Zhao Lan would easily kill them. However, just like Ning Qi and the others, he couldn't kill all the minotaurs.
Zhao Lan's position wasn't too close to the front, so there weren't many minotaurs that came for him. He could deal with them easily. If there were around a hundred minotaurs that came for him, he would probably have to flee even with his early stage Void Nether cultivation.
All of this was because the two figures in front of him had absorbed most of the firepower. They were cultivators at the Third Heaven like him, but their cultivation and combat strength were much higher than his. They were at the late stage of the Void Nether realm. Moreover, their status in the Third Heaven was much higher than Zhao Lan's. They were people of the same generation as Zhao Lan's uncle-master and uncle-master!
While Zhao Lan was waiting for Ming Di and the others outside, he didn't expect the two of them to receive the news through some unknown channel and rush over.
Zhao Lan's intention was to let Ming Di and the others bear all the risk while he reaped the benefits. After all, the Nether River Divine Palace wasn't a simple place. Even with his early stage Void Nether strength, he didn't have much confidence that he could escape unscathed. However, the two of them thought differently. Relying on their late stage Void Nether cultivation, they insisted on entering the Nether River Divine Palace on their own to explore. Because of that, Zhao Lan reluctantly followed them in. His originally happy mood darkened because of the two of them.
Soon, the two late-stage Void Nether cultivators realized they were unable to kill the headless body. One of them reached out and grabbed at Zhao Lan. The three of them seized the opportunity and charged into the Jade Lake. When the headless body saw this, it immediately stopped. The three thousand minotaurs also calmed down and stared at Zhao Lan and the others.
"So they don't dare to enter this place, haha!"
One of the cultivators carried a gourd on his back and had a head full of messy white hair. When he saw that the headless body couldn't enter the Jade Pool, he immediately laughed proudly.
The other cultivator was a bit calmer. He was a middle-aged man with a scholarly air about him. The cultivators of the Underworld looked ferocious to begin with, but this person was somewhat similar to the humans of the Central Continent. In the Underworld, he could be considered a handsome man.
"Aunt-Master Jiu, Aunt-Master Qing Yun, shall we go?"
Zhao Lan looked at the headless body with lingering fear. She wasn't sure if this place could really stop the headless body. If the other party swarmed in, they would die of exhaustion.
"Eh? This seems to be a spirit fruit garden. Why are the fruits gone? Even the ground has been turned upside down! Disciple-Niece Zhao Lan, you're really muddle-headed. How could you let those ants enter this place? What if they ruined the spirit fruits? "
Aunt-Master Jiu looked around. When she saw that the Jade Pool seemed to have been ransacked by a group of robbers, she immediately felt displeased.
"Alright, Senior Brother Jiu, it's just a spirit fruit. Rumor has it that the Netherworld River Divine Palace has the Eternal Fire. That's our goal this time. Let's leave this place before the cultivators of the Middle Three Heavens arrive. Let's see if we can obtain the Eternal Fire."
Qing Yun said calmly.
Martial Uncle Jiu snorted coldly and nodded reluctantly. However, he still glared at Zhao Lan unhappily. In fact, he was already unhappy that Zhao Lan had arrived here without informing them. If it were not for the fact that Zhao Lan's master was his Junior Brother, he would have killed him with a slap if it were anyone else!
