"Weng, weng, weng …" The vines binding Zhu Ding buzzed. Countless threads of fire mixed with golden light shot out from the vines. The vines flew out from Zhu Ding's body and turned into pythons that rolled in the air, whipping down on Zhu Ding's immortal body!
"Ancestor, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" Zhu Ding's expression changed greatly. He hurriedly kowtowed to the flames in front of him and shouted, "Ancestor, save me! Ancestor, save me! "
Unfortunately, Zhu Ding's cry was mournful. The flames didn't change at all. The python-like vines continued to whip down. After a while, Zhu Ding's body was covered in blood and flesh again. The precious Hundred Fusion Pill was wasted. Seeing Zhu Ding rolling around in pain while holding his head, Xiao Hua knew that not only did the Punishment Order injure Zhu Ding's immortal body, it also whipped Zhu Ding's soul!
After about half a cup of tea's time, Zhu Ding fainted from the pain. The vines that filled the sky disappeared and once again landed on Zhu Ding's body to bind him.
This time, Xiao Hua didn't dare to let Zhu Ding take the Hundred Fusion Pill rashly. Instead, he found some ordinary immortal pills for him to take.
Zhu Ding slowly woke up and looked at Xiao Hua. He didn't have the strength to say anything.
"Crown Prince …" Xiao Hua looked helplessly at Zhu Ding and said in a low voice, "You can't take the Hundred Fusion Pill anymore, because once your injuries heal, the Execution Command will be activated again. Of course, if you want it to end quickly, I can give it to you … "
"Don't … Don't …" Zhu Ding shook his head desperately. "Please don't give it to me. You haven't been punished by the Execution Command, so you don't know the feeling of living a life worse than death! Wait … Wait until I'm ready … "
Zhu Ding accepted the Execution Command without Xiao Hua by his side. Xiao Hua sat cross-legged beside him for a few hours. Seeing that the Execution Command wasn't activated again, he thought for a moment and said, "Crown Prince, are there other immortals in the Fire Spirit Saint Palace?"
"No!" Zhu Ding answered in a low voice. "The Fire Spirit Saint Palace only opens when the royal family pays respects to our ancestors. His Majesty will bring us in. Normally, there won't be any immortals here!"
"Hmm, if that's the case …" Xiao Hua asked again, "Where are you going to reflect? Is it here? "
"Of course I can …" Zhu Ding looked at the flame in front of him and shook his head slightly. "But there is a kind of aura here that makes me feel suffocated. I feel uncomfortable every time I worship the ancestors. I'd better go to the attic next door to reflect on my mistakes!"
"Attic?" Xiao Hua looked at the surrounding flames and asked, "Is it behind the hill?"
"Well, yes!" Zhu Ding forced a smile. "That's where we rest after paying respects to our ancestors!"
"Alright!" Xiao Hua stood up and said, "I'll go to the quiet room to take a look. Oh, right, are there any taboos in the Fire Spirit Saint Palace? For example, which places can't be visited, and what things can't be touched? "
"No … no!" Zhu Ding shook his head, but soon after, he looked at the flame in front of him and said, "If there is, then it must be the Sacrificial Flame. Father has repeatedly warned that the Sacrificial Flame represents the royal ancestors of our country. We must never touch it!"
"Mm, I understand!" Xiao Hua answered, then turned and walked out of the flames.
Beyond the flames was naturally a hill, but when Xiao Hua walked around the hill, he was actually greeted by a flowerbed. The flowerbed was filled with fresh flowers, and the flowers were in full bloom. They were azure in color. Weren't they the flowers on the country's flag? Xiao Hua walked in front of the flowerbed and raised his hand to touch one of the flowers. The azure flower swayed slightly, and a somewhat enchanting light flashed.
"These are actually real flowers!" Xiao Huayu was somewhat surprised. Then, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked to the other side of the hill. As Xiao Hua expected, this was a spirit field, and it was filled with yellow immortal fruits that looked like grapes. The immortal fruits grew on vines, and these vines were exactly the same as the vines that the Execution Token had transformed into. The vines floated in the air, and a thick fog covered most of the spirit field on the ground, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
Between the spirit field and the flowerbed was a perfectly straight road that led to the depths of the courtyard.
Xiao Hua walked to the road and looked left and right. Then, he looked at the end of the road. There seemed to be the outline of a palace, but there were overlapping spatial imprints in midair, so he couldn't see it clearly.
"The pavilion that Zhu Ding mentioned should be up ahead …" Xiao Hua thought to himself.
Unfortunately, before he could take a step, the sound of the Execution Token whipping Zhu Ding came from the hill behind him.
By the time Xiao Hua gave Zhu Ding an immortal pill, it was already after a meal when he stepped on the road again.
The road was extremely wide, and it looked like it was enough for the royal family of a country to pass through. Xiao Hua walked on it alone, and it was rather lonely! He hadn't walked for a long time, and when his feet stepped on solid ground, Xiao Hua actually felt a sense of security in his heart. It was as if this kind of leisurely walking was more suitable for him.
"If there's wind, that would be the best!" Although the road was wide, and the palace at the end of the road was blurry, the immortal fruits and flowers on both sides of the road were clear. Xiao Hua walked slowly, and the joy of the autumn harvest rose in his heart. He couldn't help but think to himself as he stretched.
Naturally, there was no wind, but there was a lot of thick fog. Amidst the fog, yellow immortal fruits hung down, and it was a delightful sight. In the flowerbed, there were some shadows that looked like butterflies. These shadows flapped their wings and fluttered among the flowers. Xiao Huayu wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
The road looked very far, but after walking for the time it took to burn a stick of incense, a row of pavilions appeared in front of him. These pavilions had a strange style, and most of them were circular. There were ribbon-like corridors connecting the pavilions, and the buildings in the middle were like bird's eggs.
"Along the way, I haven't seen anything special …" Xiao Hua thought to himself as he walked to the nearest pavilion. "Where is the blood stele that Seven Spirits True Immortal mentioned?"
Xiao Hua also knew that since the blood stele that Seven Spirits True Immortal mentioned contained a secret, it was definitely not set up by the royal family of a country. Therefore, the blood stele was naturally hidden in a secret place, and could not be found by ordinary means. The problem was that Xiao Hua did not have Wannian at this time. This courtyard was obviously a spatial fragment, so where could he find it?
"Let's start from here!" Xiao Hua stepped into the pavilion and looked at the simple furnishings. He thought to himself, "There is no one here, and Xiao has enough time."
The pavilion was not big, and the interior was similar to the exterior. It was also circular. Xiao Huagang was about to investigate when he suddenly had a thought. He thought to himself, "That's not right. There are no immortals in the Fire Spirit Immortal Abode, and Zhu Ding is still being punished. But … there seems to be a Punisher in the Punishing Order that punishes Zhu Ding. If Xiao investigates now, won't he be discovered?"
As he thought about it, Xiao Hua gave up on the idea of investigating carefully. He looked at the few pavilions on his left and then turned to leave.
What Xiao Hua did not know was that just as he left the pavilion, a pair of crimson eyes slowly appeared on the circular pavilion. They stared at Xiao Hua, and there was a thoughtful look in their eyes!
