YanHong softly said, "Senior brother, don't be angry, valley master has deep foresight, there must be something that we are not aware of. When we were negotiating with those barbarians, it was ShangGuan teacher uncle who displayed his supernatural powers to intimidate them, those barbarians saw him as a celestial being, as long as he appeared, those monsters would definitely leave obediently. Valley master asked us to invite ShangGuan teacher uncle out, it must be because of this. "
LiXun snorted, said, "I naturally know about these but I just don't understand, with our FenXiang Valley's prestige, why do we have to humble ourselves to those monsters, and now we still have to invite ShangGuan teacher uncle out, if this matter spreads out, won't our FenXiang Valley become the world's Good Faction laughing stock?"
YanHong smiled and said, "Senior brother, I think these barbarians still have some use, so valley master tolerated them. In the future … "Speaking till here, she suddenly stopped but her eyes looked at LiXun, as if she had thousands of words to say.
LiXun's lips curled, a trace of dissatisfaction on his handsome face, looking from afar, it seemed to add a few degrees of elegance. But he did not say anything more, only sighed softly, with YanHong unhurriedly walked onto a small path, after a while, disappeared into the night.
In the shadows, a gaze as sharp as a knife, watched their backs. Ghost Li's thoughts turned quickly, the ones who invaded FenXiang Valley tonight, were actually those human fish tribes that he was investigating. Recalling that night three days ago, he overheard LuShun and that human fish talking, that tall human fish seemed to be the tribe leader.
It seemed like tonight's matter, most likely because that human fish tribe leader was killed by Jin PingEr, the remaining human fish tribe came in anger to seek revenge. Thinking of that, Jin PingEr's figure involuntarily flashed past Ghost Li's mind, his wariness towards this girl increased by another level.
He stood in the shadows for a moment and then seemed to make a decision, looked at Xiao Hui in his arms, Xiao Hui's eyes blinked, suddenly its body moved, scurried up his shoulder, grinned, seemed to have completely recovered. Ghost Li was assured, smiled faintly and said, "Let's go see what kind of person that ShangGuan teacher uncle is, what do you think?"
Xiao Hui called out twice, with a wave of its monkey hand, it pointed to the path that Li Xun and YanHong had taken.
Ghost Li laughed soundlessly in the darkness, his figure suddenly rose, fast like a ghost, headed towards that secluded path.
In the distance, a FenXiang Valley disciple was walking over here, suddenly felt a blur in front of him, it seemed like there was a ghost figure flashing past on the path leading to the important place in the valley, 'Inferno Altar', when he looked carefully, he did not see anything, couldn't help but was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, mumbled a sentence and continued to walk forward, not taking it to heart.
The path was quiet, but it was unexpectedly long. Obviously that ShangGuan teacher uncle's place was very secluded, Ghost Li did not walk far on this road and there were no other houses around, both sides of the road were trees and flowers, the night breeze blew over, under the dim moonlight in the horizon, the shadows of the trees swayed, looked like some demons dancing, revealing a trace of strangeness.
Ghost Li carefully walked along this path, after walking for a while, he did not see any crossroads like outside, seemed like this was a path that led directly to where that ShangGuan teacher uncle was.
FenXiang Valley occupied a huge area, this small path, looked like it was winding and meandering, led deep into the valley.
Suddenly, an object appeared ahead, a white square, Ghost Li's eyes focused, looked at it, it was a stone tablet, on it were two rows of characters:
Inferno Ground
Disciple stop
Ghost Li frowned, not because of the mystery of FenXiang Valley ahead which made him hesitate, but because these two words, 'Inferno Ground', quietly stirred a place in his heart. He could not help but glance at his right arm, under his clothes, 'Inferno Mirror' was quietly lying on his arm.
He was stunned for a moment and then sneered, lifted his feet and walked past this stone tablet.
That stone tablet although looked ordinary but it seemed to be a demarcation point, after passing the stone tablet, for some reason, although the small path was still winding and extending forward but the trees and flowers on both sides of the path, evidently became sparse.
First the green grass on the ground gradually disappeared, then the short shrubs and finally even the dense trees on both sides also gradually became sparse, not to mention the ground started to crack, even the remaining few trees, their trunks and branches also became a patch of withered yellow, as if there was an extreme lack of water nearby and they were scorched.
Not sure if it was related to those two words, 'Inferno Ground'?
Xiao Hui on his shoulder quietly called out, its body also moved, seemed to be uneasy. Ghost Li gently patted its body, Xiao Hui then gradually calmed down. The surrounding scene, was indeed very strange but it did not look like there was any important place in FenXiang Valley, if not, along the way, he did not even see a single disciple guarding.
Ghost Li's thoughts turned, following the small path, turned the last bend.
Suddenly, even with his composure, his body could not help but trembled, in front of him, appeared a large empty space, a gust of heatwave blew over from nowhere.
In the middle of the empty space, was an enormous circular altar, the bottom suspended in the air, thirteen enormous stone pillars made of white jade, three zhangs tall, supported the entire altar. At the edge of the altar, there were a total of twelve white jade stone pillars, each one as thick as two people's arms would need to encircle it and in the middle of the altar, the thickest white jade stone pillar looked like it would need at least five or six people's arms to encircle it.
And above the altar, all the structures were built with a kind of scarlet red strange stone, the stairs and railings, were all the same. In the middle of the altar, stood a tall and majestic hall, in the shape of a pagoda, a total of three levels, each higher level was about half the size of the one below but each level looked to be an unbelievable ten zhangs high.
Looking from afar, this altar was like an enormous burning scarlet red flame, piercing the firmament, Ghost Li standing below this altar, seemed like an ant, extremely tiny.
Ghost Li inhaled deeply, the structure before him was really astonishing, the four words' superlative workmanship ', most likely it was fully deserving of its name. Unexpectedly in FenXiang Valley, there was such a magnificent structure. He pondered in his heart, after a moment he thought of that stone tablet which he had just entered, he vaguely knew that this place, most likely was the legendary FenXiang Valley's famed place - Inferno Altar.
He composed himself and then quietly floated over, other than the Inferno altar in front of him, there was nothing else around, there was no cover at all. But luckily there were no guards around and his movements were fast, in a blink he had reached the bottom of the Inferno Altar.
Once he neared this Inferno Altar, the heat in the air immediately rose by more than a few times, even with Ghost Li's level of cultivation, he also felt a wave of irritation, beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead. Ghost Li frowned, was secretly shocked and then remembered, he did not know if Xiao Hui could withstand this scorching heat, he turned his head and saw Xiao Hui on his shoulder scratching its head and ears, as if ignoring the surrounding heat.
Ghost Li was surprised, subconsciously felt that Xiao Hui was not normal recently, especially after swallowing the rare elixirs and stones in the Celestial Emperor Treasury on that Celestial Tree in the death marsh, its body had obviously started to gradually change.
But no matter what, in this situation, Xiao Hui not being afraid of the heat was naturally much better than being afraid of it, Ghost Li temporarily did not have the mood to care so much. He was pondering if his next step should be to go up this Inferno Altar, suddenly footsteps were heard from above the Inferno Altar.
Ghost Li frowned, glanced around but there was no place to hide, after pondering for a moment, he flew below the Inferno Altar and hid behind a thick white jade pillar.
He hid behind the pillar, subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the pillar, suddenly his hand felt hot, with his quick reaction, he immediately pulled his hand back.
Below this Inferno Altar, even the stone pillar, was boiling hot.
The footsteps became louder, evidently someone was coming down, suddenly an old voice was heard, unhurriedly said, "Since valley master has invited me, I naturally have to go, just that you all better tell me, why did those human fish people suddenly become so violent, to the extent that they want to attack the valley?"
Ghost Li hid in the shadow of the pillar, looked out, saw Li Xun and YanHong following behind a grey attired elder, walking down respectfully.
