Ghost Li stared at Jin PingEr for a long time, frowned slightly but did not speak. And Jin PingEr, under Ghost Li's indistinct sharp gaze, acted as if nothing had happened, did not feel that what she had said at this moment was inappropriate, smiled at Ghost Li.
In the Inferno Altar, it quietened down. Xiao Hui who was crouching on Ghost Li's shoulder did not seem to like the atmosphere, moved its body, called out twice, jumped down from its master's shoulder, its head looked around for a while and then walked to the side, slowly walked to the middle of the Inferno Altar where innumerable red ferocious deities were engraved.
Ghost Li slowly looked away, looked at Xiao Hui who was making faces at the ferocious deities engravings, slowly said, "So that means, you know a lot?"
Jin PingEr smiled, that smile was as warm as the spring breeze, gently brushed past this cold hall, said, "I am just a weak little girl, how would I know anything, just that I was fortunate enough to go to a few places and was valued by Ghost King sect head, that's why I came to help you."
She pursed her lips and smiled, said, "Don't think too much!"
Ghost Li frowned and did not speak, ignored the indistinct seductiveness in Jin PingEr's coquettish voice, after thinking for a while, he seemed to have suddenly forgotten why Jin PingEr would suddenly appear here, and also forgot about the mysterious strangeness shrouding Jin PingEr and even Ghost King, only indifferently said, "Since it is so, I will have to seek guidance from you."
A glint flashed in Jin PingEr's eyes but her smile was still bewitching, said, "GongZi please speak!"
Ghost Li said, "Seems like you have reached here before me, like what you said, to seal the Beast Deity, one must obtain the 'Eight Savage Inferno Formation' here, just that my intellect is slow-witted and could not comprehend it, I wonder if Miss Jin has any enlightenment?"
Jin PingEr shook her head, a bitter smile seemed to appear on her face, said, "To tell you the truth, actually I have already been here for three days but I did not find anything, other than these messy engravings on the ground, I did not find anything."
Ghost Li's gaze involuntarily looked at the dark red pattern beneath his feet. Different from Jin PingEr, including Xiao Hui, he had personally experienced the power of that strange formation in this Inferno Altar, that mountain-toppling and sea-overturning power, and that terrible Crimson Flame Giant Beast, were all memories that could not be easily forgotten. Perhaps it was because of this! That was why Xiao Hui was so interested in the ground, scratching here, moving there, seemed to be searching for something?
Could it be that after the earth-shattering change that day, the eruption of lava from the volcano had actually destroyed the formation here?
Such a thought flashed past Ghost Li's mind but he did not reveal it, after a moment of thought, he again looked at Jin PingEr, said, "Miss Jin, no matter what, this is the only place that we know of with the 'Eight Savage Inferno Formation', since it is indispensable for the sealing of the Beast Deity, then why don't we stay here for a few more days, maybe there is a little hope."
Jin PingEr smiled sweetly and said, "Sure!"
Ghost Li glanced at her and then looked away, once again sat down in front of the formation. Not long after, a delicate fragrance drifted over, clothes fluttered, it was Jin PingEr who sat down not far from him, and the distance between them, seemed to be a little closer.
Ghost Li frowned, wanted to speak but stopped, he did not look at the beauties beside him, only focused his attention on this carving, just that for some reason, in his heart, suddenly another thought came to his mind.
That day Xiao Bai said she was going to southern border to search for the incantation for the 'Eight Savage Inferno Formation' but there was no news of her for a long time, not knowing how she was now. And in the entire world, only this place seemed to have clues to the Eight Savage Inferno Formation but Xiao Bai was obviously not here, then, where would she be now?
Was she still well …
This faintly discernible thought, in the next few days, flashed past Ghost Li's mind from time to time.
It seemed like the lava eruption that day, the damage it caused was beyond Ghost Li's expectations, even though the ferocious deity stone carvings seemed to be in good condition but it was obvious that they no longer contained that spiritual energy, or should it be said that powerful evil energy, what was left now, was just a bunch of dull stone carvings.
Ghost Li and Jin PingEr secretly studied together in the Inferno Altar for a full seven days but still did not find anything. In the meantime, FenXiang Valley disciples would come in to check, and a few times even ShangGuan Ce personally brought people over for routine patrol but the current Ghost Li, including Jin PingEr, had already advanced, they only needed to hide in the shadows above the Inferno Altar and easily avoided these searches.
Just that they still could not understand the gist of the formation, was a really troublesome matter.
This day, the two of them again sat in front of these rigid stone engravings for the entire morning, suddenly, Jin PingEr stretched her waist, her slender waist looked like an enchanting snake, with an innate alluring taste. But the only man beside her, was still staring intently at the stone engravings, deep in thought, did not notice Jin PingEr's graceful performance.
Jin PingEr lightly snorted, stared at Ghost Li, a trace of complicated emotions seemed to flash past her eyes but it was only for a moment. After a moment, she was heard sighing, said, "Did you see anything?"
Ghost Li's body moved, then slowly regained his senses, turned and glanced at Jin PingEr, shook his head, said, "What about you?"
Jin PingEr bitterly laughed, did not answer but Ghost Li already understood.
Jin PingEr frowned and said, "We have already been here looking at these damn things for seven days. In these seven days, we tried our best but not to mention activating this formation, we could not even touch some of the stone engravings, what exactly is going on? "
Ghost Li pondered for a moment, looked up at the darkness above, said, "That day when I was here to save people, I touched the mechanism in this hall and this Eight Savage Inferno Formation was immediately activated. But … "his eyes glanced towards the middle of the hall, his tone strange, said," But that mechanism, is now gone. "
Jin PingEr followed his gaze and indeed saw a small protruding stone platform in the middle of the hall, but the stones there were charred black, solidified into an ugly shape, how did it look like some ingenious mechanism.
In fact, the moment Ghost Li arrived and saw this scene, he knew that the strange stone mechanism he saw the first time he came here, was already destroyed, and the last time when he saw those ferocious deities stone engravings on the ground, the violent energy that resonated in his heart, this time, he could not feel it at all.
The once-terrifying stone carvings now looked lifeless and lifeless.
Both of them fell into silence, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, Jin PingEr seemed to have thought of something, raised her head and was about to speak, suddenly her countenance changed and Ghost Li's brows were already frowning, he suddenly turned and in a blink he was beside Xiao Hui who was playing at the side, carried the monkey up and then floated up, the next moment, he had already disappeared into the darkness above the Inferno Altar hall.
Jin PingEr watched his figure disappear into the darkness, smiled and then also floated up, also disappeared into the darkness.
The next moment, a sound, a dull sound reverberated in the Inferno Altar hall.
The door, was opened …
Footsteps were heard, it sounded like there were quite a number of people, indistinctly a dignified voice was heard, after a few words, it immediately quietened down. Following which, from the opened door, three people walked in.
The one in front, was FenXiang Valley master Yun YiLan, half a body behind him on the right, was his junior brother ShangGuan Ce and the last person, a few steps away from the two in front, was Yun YiLan's favourite disciple Li Xun.
After the three of them entered the Inferno Altar, Li Xun who was at the back turned and closed the heavy door, the original light was immediately cut off from the outside, only that trace of darkness slowly flickered here.
Having lost the formation's spiritual power, the three levels above the altar, had long lost that bitter chill, what remained, was only the coldness of the huge and hard rocks. In the darkness, Ghost Li and Jin PingEr quietly passed through that dark hole, looked down in the darkness.
As if it knew that this time it would not be the same as before, Xiao Hui who was always active also quietened down, obediently crouched beside its master.
Yun YiLan and ShangGuan Ce unhurriedly walked to the middle of the Inferno Altar, stood on the Eight Savage Inferno Formation, looking from afar, his face also seemed to be shrouded in shadows.
The three of them stood there, silent for a long time, did not speak, the atmosphere indistinctly strange. And above their heads, Ghost Li seemed to sense something, glanced at Jin PingEr, coincidentally saw Jin PingEr also looking back at him. Both of them could see the trace of bewilderment in each other's eyes.
Yun YiLan looked as if his face was gloomy, maybe his mood should be like that, if it was anyone else, seeing the foundation that they had managed for so many years turned into such a state, most likely would be in a bad mood. At first glance, his face seemed to be expressionless, but after looking at it for a long time, it actually gave people a vague feeling of ever-changing changes. But if you looked closely, you would find that his expression had never changed. The only thing that changed was his heart.
At least, during those days at Qing Yun Hill, the world would not have seen his expression like this.
For a long time, Yun YiLan's erratic gaze was always on those strange red stone carvings on the Inferno Altar, from one end to the other, from one to another, after which, he unhurriedly walked to that small protruding stone platform in the middle of the carvings, stretched out his palm, gently caressed the stone.
"How long has it been?" Yun YiLan suddenly spoke, his deep voice asked a question without any head or tail.
ShangGuan Ce was standing beside him, looking at his expression, he did not show any surprise because of Yun YiLan's sudden question, clearly he understood some things but he did not have the intention to answer, instead strangely turned and glanced at Li Xun who was standing three steps behind them.
