Over an hour later, the car arrived somewhere near Shennongjia successfully.
As far as the eye could see, the whole mountain was filled with people, and the foot of the mountain was densely packed with cars. They were all luxury cars such as Lamborghinis and Ferraris, and the lowest configuration was a Bentley.
Countless people in all sorts of outfits were walking up the mountain.
"Wow, there are so many people!"
Yu Lian walked out of the car, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Zhizhi did not seem to be surprised. She said obediently, "Sister Yu Lian, I think they're here to participate in the Longmen Convention. We have such a grand event every three years. I heard there'll be immortals here too."
"Immortals?" Yu Lian failed to react at the moment.
"That's right, immortals!"
Zhizhi nodded and looked forward to it. "I heard from my dad that these immortals have supernatural powers. Not only can they ride on the clouds, but they can also summon the wind and rain. It's not an exaggeration to say that they're omnipotent."
Pfft!
Yu Lian snickered out loud. "Ride on the clouds? Omnipotent? Zhizhi, I can't believe that you're superstitious. Those who don't know better might think that you're telling me a fairy tale. "
"I'm telling the truth." Zhizhi panicked at the moment.
"Alright!"
Yu Lian said, "Zhizhi, what you said only exists in movies or novels. Listen to me. There are no immortals in this world. You must believe in science. Do you understand? If there really are immortals, wouldn't the world be in chaos? "
"That's right!"
Yu Lei nodded as well.
The Fire Phoenix belonged to the special forces. As members of the Fire Phoenix, the most powerful thing that he and Yu Lian had ever seen was in the army. There was someone who could slap a nail into a wooden board with one hand. That was the result of years of training.
Zhizhi looked like she was in deep thought. She could not help but look at Ye Chen who was silent. "Brother Ye, do you think there are really immortals in this world?"
"Uh …"
Ye Chen smiled calmly. "There should be!"
"Should?"
Yu Lian rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "No means no. What do you mean by should? Zhizhi is still a child. Don't instill such thoughts into her head. Those immortal masters that she talks about are just a bunch of scammers. "
Ye Chen was speechless.
"Little girl, I don't like what you said!" Right at this moment, a mocking voice resounded from behind them.
They turned around and saw a woman dressed in black holding an old man in a Chinese tunic suit walking over slowly. The two of them walked very slowly. The old man was about 60 years old and wore a jade ring on his thumb.
Yu Lian frowned. "Old man, I didn't say anything, did I?"
When the old man in the Chinese tunic suit approached, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You didn't say anything to me directly, but you also scolded me when you said that we are all charlatans who cheat us of our food and drinks."
"I'm talking about an Immortal Master. Do you think you're an Immortal Master?" Yu Lian snorted coldly.
"I'm Yuan Qitai of Xianyang, and this is my disciple, Deng Chan. I don't deserve to be called an Immortal Master, but I do know a little about Feng Shui." The old man in the Chinese tunic suit shook his head slightly and said, "That's why I couldn't hold back when I heard the little girl's contempt for the spell world."
"Those who study Fengshui, aren't they scammers?"
Yu Lian chuckled.
She had never believed in Fengshui and fortune-telling. Even though she had seen the strongman from Xieling before, she thought that they were just tricks to cheat people of their food and drinks.
Yu Lei glared at her and smiled apologetically at Yuan Qitai. "I'm sorry, old man. That's just my sister's temper. I hope you don't mind."
Although that was the case, Yu Lian was still smirking.
The lady next to Yuan Qitai, Deng Chan, could not help but say angrily, "A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well!"
She waved her hand at Yu Lian after saying that.
Yu Lian and Yu Lei acted like they were facing a great enemy as they thought she was going to attack.
However, Yu Lian noticed that there was a red butterfly-shaped hair clip in Deng Chan's hand. She could not help but touch her head subconsciously and realized that there was nothing on her head. She yelled angrily, "How did you get my hair clip?"
"Haha!"
Deng Chan smiled disdainfully and blew at the butterfly-shaped hair clip in her hand. The hair clip turned into a red butterfly in the blink of an eye and flew into the air. It flapped its wings and flew around the group.
Yu Lian was stunned when she saw that.
Yu Lei and Zhizhi had disbelief on their faces.
"I'm returning it to you!"
Deng Chan waved at the butterfly in the air, and the butterfly returned to her hand to turn into a hair clip. She tossed it, and the hair clip returned to Yu Lian's head accurately. She had a proud expression on her face. "Now, you should know what sorcery is, right?"
Yu Lian was embarrassed.
Yu Lei, on the other hand, suppressed his shock and clasped his fists at Deng Chan and Yuan Qitai. "Oh, it's you, master. We were wrong. Please don't mind us."
"Don't worry about it!"
Yuan Qitai smiled calmly, looking like an expert.
Deng Chan glanced at Ye Chen by instinct. She could not help but frown when she noticed that there was no surprise on his face at all. The feeling of flaunting vanished instantly.
"Let's go!" Ye Chen said when Zhizhi was going to ask Deng Chan a few questions.
Zhizhi then looked away reluctantly. She led Ye Chen and the rest to the other side of the mountain path. It was a small path that led deep into Shennongjia.
Yuan Qitai glanced at the direction where the few of them had disappeared and subsequently shook his head. "Xiaochan, don't ever flaunt in front of people in the future. Do you understand?"
"Master, those guys were rude to you earlier. I couldn't take it anymore." Deng Chan was rather upset.
"Let them be. Remember, don't flaunt in the future. Otherwise, it'll bring you a lot of karma and trouble." Yuan Qitai sighed softly and lifted his eyes to take a good look at the people before him. He said, "It seems like the people from the other three branches aren't here yet. Let's check out the sinkhole first."
…
Half an hour later.
The bunch of them arrived at a col.
Zhizhi wiped her sweat and pointed below. "Sister Yu Lian, Brother Ye, that's the sinkhole that's releasing lava."
The few of them looked where she was pointing and could not help but be stunned. They saw a gigantic sinkhole on the ground 20 meters below them.
The sinkhole was approximately ten meters in diameter and was so deep that they could not see the bottom. Within a kilometer around it, there was nothing but red, scorched soil. If one were to look closer, one would notice that the air above the sinkhole was shaking and twisting. It was clearly caused by the high temperature. The temperature was at least 50 degrees Celsius.
"It's so hot!"
Yu Lian could not stop wiping the sweat on her face with a tissue. However, she realized that she could not wipe all of it no matter how hard she tried. Her face was like a ripe apple.
Yu Lei nodded. He was drenched in sweat.
"Sister Yu Lian, let's go. It's too hot here!" Zhizhi took out her water bottle and gulped down mouthfuls. Steam was rising from her head.
Yu Lian could not help but look at Ye Chen. She said angrily, "Sir Ye, since you're done looking, let's go. Otherwise, you'll die from the heat. The temperature here is just too high."
Zhizhi and Yu Lei looked at him instantly.
"No, you guys go first. I'm going down to check it out!"
However, Ye Chen shook his head lightly. He walked down the path that led to the bottom before they could react.
Seeing this scene, the three of them were instantly shocked.
