Ghost Li watched from the dark, saw that elder's face was thin, dressed in a grey robe, simple and unadorned, his mannerisms calm, did not have any outstanding features. If he was walking on the streets of an ordinary town, most likely no one would be able to tell that he was a cultivator.
But looking at the expressions of the two behind him, not to mention YanHong, even the arrogant LiXun seemed to be very respectful to this ordinary elder, did not dare to slight him.
Right now hearing that elder's question, LiXun hesitated for a moment and then said, "Teacher uncle please understand, actually it is because those merfolk barbarian tribe leaders died an unnatural death, so these monsters went berserk, that's why …"
The three of them had just walked down from the altar, the elder frowned, indifferently said, "How did the merfolk tribe leaders die?"
LiXun with a bitter laugh, shook his head, YanHong said, "Reporting to teacher uncle, that merfolk tribe leader was three days ago, after meeting LuShun teacher uncle LuShun teacher uncle at HeGu Mountain 'nameless ancient temple', less than a mile away from the ancient temple, he was suddenly killed by an expert."
The grey-clothed old man exclaimed in surprise and said, "Who's the culprit?"
LiXun shook his head, said, "We have been investigating for several days, still have no leads." Speaking until here, he seemed to hesitate for a moment and then continued, "Actually this matter should have been reported to teacher uncle long ago, just that valley head remembered that teacher uncle has been guarding the Inferno Altar for almost a hundred years and has long stopped meddling in worldly affairs, so did not wish to disturb teacher uncle."
The elder smiled and said, "Valley head's good intentions, how can I not know. Thinking that if not for the fact that these barbarians still have some use and I had some reputation when I subdued them, valley head would not wish to trouble this old man. "
Li Xun smiled embarrassedly and was about to say something, but the grey-clothed old man seemed unwilling to say anything more on this topic, so he changed the topic and said, "Wasn't LuShun also present at that time, less than a li away? Could it be that he also couldn't find the murderer? Even if he dug three chi into the ground he would have found it long ago. "
LiXun heard it and looked at YanHong, YanHong hesitated for a moment, softly said, "It has always been that the murderer is too cunning and highly skilled, after one successful strike he immediately escaped, that's why even LuShun teacher uncle could not catch him."
The grey-clothed old man snorted and didn't say anything else. However, disdain could be felt from his voice and expression. Obviously, he looked down upon the Martial Uncle Lu Shun that Li Xun and Yan Hong spoke of.
The three of them walked and talked, less than three zhangs of distance, they had already covered half of it, gradually getting further away from Ghost Li. Ghost Li slowly calmed down but his body did not dare to relax, at this moment he heard that elderly seemed to ask a question from afar, because he had walked too far, the voice could not be heard clearly but indistinctly he heard that the elderly was asking about the situation of those rebellious Merpeople barbarians.
LiXun behind him replied, "Now the situation has stabilised, LuShun teacher uncle led a group of disciples to block those monsters at the valley entrance, and with their supernatural powers, suppressed the human fish people, now both parties are facing off. Those human fish people kept saying that they want to avenge their tribe leader, valley master is also not willing to shed all pretenses with the southern barbarian tribes, so he sent me to invite teacher uncle … "
Speaking until here, suddenly, a shrill cry was heard from the valley entrance, reverberated far away, the sound extremely mournful. Everyone present was shocked, LiXun exclaimed, "It seems to be the entrance!"
Before they could react, the next moment the sounds of fighting and killing were heard again, angry shouts and shrill cries were heard incessantly, the valley which had just quietened down was once again shrouded by the sounds of fighting.
The three people's faces changed greatly. The grey-robed old man snorted and waved his sleeve. He immediately turned into a grey light and soared into the sky. He flew swiftly towards the entrance of the valley. LiXun and YanHong also hurriedly followed.
Until their figures completely disappeared in the night, Ghost Li then slowly walked out from the Inferno Altar, pondered for a moment, turned around and looked towards the Inferno Altar.
The huge building before him towered majestically, even a white jade pillar beside it, looked so majestic in the night, not to mention the scarlet red palaces and pavilions above it.
Not far ahead, was the stairs that the elder, LiXun and YanHong walked down from. Ghost Li walked towards the stairs, saw that all the stairs were built with the same strange scarlet red stone, blended in with the surrounding stone railings.
Slowly stepping on it, Ghost Li walked up, right now the surrounding temperature seemed to have risen a lot, as if what he was stepping on was not that kind of scarlet red stone, but a real burning flame.
This Inferno Altar stairs, went up thirty-six steps, turned and continued to extend upwards. Ghost Li breathed deeply, his face cold, slowly walked up. The surrounding railings and stone walls, were plain and unadorned, without any carvings, looking especially simple and unadorned.
Right now even the wind blowing from the night sky, also became extremely hot, Xiao Hui crouched on Ghost Li's shoulder, its eyeballs rolling around, curiously looking around.
Finally, after walking up the stairs, a total of three levels and a hundred and eight steps, Ghost Li came to the Inferno Altar.
Even though he had already seen the scene from far below the Inferno Altar but now that he was on the Inferno Altar, standing in front of the towering palace in the middle of the Inferno Altar, looking at the enormous building that was taller than him by a hundred times, looking at the sharp sword-like spires piercing the sky, Ghost Li still couldn't help but feel insignificant.
The same scarlet red stone, was cut into huge stones of equal size, each piece almost half a person's height, piled up to form a magnificent palace. Walking nearer, in the hot air, Ghost Li clearly saw that these stones were connected so tightly, the gaps in the middle looked like even a blade would not be able to pierce through. He really could not imagine how the ancestors of FenXiang Valley were able to create such an uncanny craftsmanship of the palace.
In fact, he almost had an illusion that what was in front of him was not a hall, but a huge burning flame. Furthermore, the flame was so huge that it seemed as if it would soon overwhelm him and devour his tiny self.
Ghost Li breathed deeply, composed himself, suppressed the awe in his heart and then turned his head, carefully looked at the path to enter the Inferno Altar palace. It didn't take him much effort to find it.
The entire tower-like altar did not even have a window, it was completely surrounded by huge scarlet stones, only at the lowest level, not far from him, there was a one zhang tall and six chi wide door.
Ghost Li walked over, very quickly discovered that although this door was painted red but it was different from the surrounding stone walls, it was a wooden door. Come to think of it, if even the door to enter and exit was also an extremely heavy stone door, it would most likely be very troublesome.
Ghost Li stood in front of the door for a while but did not immediately push it open, instead turned and looked behind.
The entire Inferno Altar, other than the hot air, it was silent.
[Zhi ya!]
The next moment, he pushed the door open.
FenXiang Valley entrance, right now it was already a river of blood, more than a hundred tall and strong fish-headed barbarians were wailing, extremely furious, holding all kinds of strange weapons, there were spears, knives, swords and halberds, fighting with the surrounding FenXiang Valley disciples incessantly. Blood flowed on the ground, broken limbs could be seen everywhere, among the casualties, there were quite a number of FenXiang Valley disciples but most of them were human fish people.
As for these broken limbs, most likely they were chopped off by those savage human fish people.
But although the scene was terrifying, the human fish people were also incomparably ferocious but the situation was FenXiang Valley side gradually suppressing the human fish people, and it looked like FenXiang Valley side still had some leeway, several higher levelled disciples encircled the city in a semicircle, pressing inwards together.
Just that these human fish people were really ferocious and their bodies were very different from humans, even if a cultivator was hit by a FenXiang Valley disciple's sword light, most likely he would also be injured. But these human fish people for some reason, their bodies were extremely sturdy and in addition the FenXiang Valley disciples seemed to have received some orders, left some leeway, other than a few skilled swords and magical weapons, when the other disciples' magical weapons hit them, the human fish people at most were sent flying, it was extremely difficult to see blood.
But firstly, the FenXiang Valley disciples had been cultivating for many years, their skills were not shallow, one on one plus the power of their magical weapons, they still won against these barbarian human fish people; secondly, these human fish people were only strong and thick-skinned, the FenXiang Valley disciples advanced and retreated, from time to time flew their swords down and attacked, giving the human fish people a huge headache, they still had the upper hand.
And among the FenXiang Valley disciples, an elderly was commanding, it was Lu Shun whom Ghost Li met that day at the desolate mountain ancient temple. Right now his brows were tightly frowning, his expression extremely ugly, clearly extremely furious.
The battle was at its climax, suddenly a tragic cry was heard, it was a FenXiang Valley disciple who was careless, revealed an opening and was hooked by a human fish person using a weapon that looked like a sickle, his leg was hooked and dragged down from the air, fell onto the ground, the next moment several human fish people swarmed over, weapons danced wildly, in a blink he died a violent death, even his body was not complete.
