The people looked toward the direction of the voice. They saw Master Xiegu walking out of the crowd. He could not hide the excitement on his face.
"Xiegu, have you really seen Mad Southern Ye before? If you're telling the truth, I promise to teach you everything I know about spells. You must know that my spells aren't any weaker than the ones from Dragon Tiger Mountain. "Shen Tiannan was elated.
Master Xiegu was over the moon. He said while clasping his fists, "Master Shen, are you sure you got the right photo?"
He was still rather cautious.
His reaction was just as exaggerated as Yu Lian and the rest when he saw Ye Chen's photo. His first thought was that Shen Tiannan had gotten the wrong photo.
Shen Tiannan frowned, seeming to be upset. "It's definitely the right photo!"
"That's right!"
Master Xiegu said immediately, seeming to sense his impatience, "I've seen this person on my way here. He was with two men and two ladies!"
As soon as he said that.
Yu Lian and the rest could not help but turn pale. They squeezed to the back by instinct, afraid that they would be recognized because the two men and two women that Rotten Bone mentioned were them.
However, Xiegu found them in the crowd. He pointed and said, "Master Shen, it's these three people. They're with Mad Southern Ye."
Everyone could not help but have their eyes on Yu Lian and the rest as soon as he said that. Yu Lian's face turned pale and she denied immediately, "No, you're lying. We don't know this person at all!"
This was going to cost him his life.
How would she dare to admit it?
Shen Tiannan glanced at the three of them with a grim expression. He suspected that Xiegu was lying when he noticed that they were ordinary people with no cultivation base.
Meanwhile, Zhizhi said by instinct in a panic, "That's right. W-we really don't know Brother Ye …"
The crowd gasped as soon as she was done speaking.
Yu Lian and Yu Lei closed their eyes in despair one after another.
'Silly girl, you could've just said that you don't know him. Why did you mention Brother Ye? Great, now you've confessed without being pressed!
"Hahaha!"
Master Xiegu said while laughing out loud, "Did you hear that, Master Shen? They admitted it themselves. That proves that I'm not lying! "
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was extremely excited.
The two powerhouses had joined forces to kill Mad Southern Ye. However, Mad Southern Ye had disappeared at that moment. It meant that Mad Southern Ye was hiding because he was afraid of Shen Tiannan and Lei Feihu.
As soon as Shen Tiannan and Lei Feihu found Mad Southern Ye and killed him, they would naturally fulfill their promise. Xie Gu's skill in spells would improve again. From then on, he would be the true No. 1 in Tiannan. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as killing two birds with one stone.
Mad Southern Ye, oh Mad Southern Ye, you're courting death!
A golden gleam shot out of Shen Tiannan's eyes as soon as he heard that. He leaped from the heaven altar and walked to Yu Lian and the other two slowly. He said in his deep voice, "Three kids, tell me where Mad Southern Ye is. If you tell the truth, this old man will let you off! "
Yu Lian could not help but shudder as he approached her. She stammered, "H-he's dead!"
She hated Ye Chen to death now.
This bastard, even in death, he still wants to implicate us!
"Hmph!"
Shen Tiannan scoffed, "Since you guys aren't going to tell me where Mad Southern Ye is, don't blame me for being merciless!"
'Mad Southern Ye is dead?
How is that possible?! '
To him, Yu Lian was lying!
He stretched his arm out and formed a giant mysterious qi handprint in the air. He grabbed Yu Lian directly. Yu Lei wanted to fight by instinct, but he was shocked to find out that he could not move his limbs at all. It was as if he was under the Immobilization Spell.
'Ye, you're going to kill us!'
Yu Lian looked at the giant handprint blankly. She was in despair.
Just when the giant handprint was about to touch Yu Lian, Yuan Qitai, who was standing aside, waved his arm and dissolved it. Although that was the case, he retreated a few steps back uncontrollably.
"Master, are you alright?" Deng Chan held him up immediately.
"I'm fine!"
Yuan Qitai was secretly shocked by Shen Tiannan's ability. He walked to Shen Tiannan after waving and said with a soft sigh, "Banshan's leader, Yuan Qitai, greets Master Shen!"
"Banshan? Why? Are you stopping me? "
Shen Tiannan smiled in anger. Disdain filled his face.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Yuan Qitai shook his head lightly and said while forcing a smile, "Master Shen, I've seen Mad Southern Ye before. Not long ago, I can prove that what this girl said is true."
"Do you mean that Mad Southern Ye is really dead?"
Shen Tiannan's expression was turning grim.
Mad Southern Ye was the No. 1 in China's ancient martial arts world. Who could kill him? Even when he was sparring with Lei Feihu, he had to rely on the Demonic Life Reduction Pill to have the confidence to fight him.
Yuan Qitai said in his deep voice, "I don't know if he's dead or not, but I saw Mad Southern Ye being devoured by the lava with my own eyes."
Subsequently, he told them about Ye Chen going into the sinkhole.
"Sir Ye is really dead. The grudge between you and him has nothing to do with us. We're from the Fire Phoenix. You'll be going against the entire Fire Phoenix if you touch us!" Yu Lei said, pretending to be calm.
"Fire Phoenix? What's that? "
Shen Tiannan smirked. "A mere Fire Phoenix aside, I'd kill anyone from the Heavenly Palace even if they're standing before me!"
"Since you guys said that Mad Southern Ye died in the lava, bring me there. I want to see him if he's alive, and I want to see his corpse if he's dead!" He grabbed Yu Lian forcefully and glared at Yuan Qitai coldly.
Yuan Qitai had no choice but to nod and lead the way. Lei Feihu and Zhang Xuanqing followed behind him, and the rest of them followed at the very back of the group.
…
When they arrived at the stone wall above the sinkhole, they realized that the lava had subsided. Although that was the case, the ground was scorching hot like a volcano.
Meanwhile, the ground was scorched red. There was nothing else.
"Mad Southern Ye was really devoured by the lava?"
Shen Tiannan looked at the ground below with a grim expression. There was fear on his face. Even he would not be able to last long in such a high temperature. He would die if he encountered the lava.
"I'm not related to Mad Southern Ye, so there's no reason for me to lie to you. The reason why I helped this girl is because they're innocent," Yuan Qitai said in his deep voice.
Yu Lian was afraid that Shen Tiannan would attack her. She suppressed the fear within her and told him everything that happened when they brought Ye Chen to Shennongjia.
She could not care less about the military secrets now.
After all, her life mattered.
Moreover, to her, Ye Chen was the one who caused all of this. There was no need for her to cover for him. Yu Lei's lips moved a few times, but he did not stop her in the end.
Shen Tiannan's expression could not stop changing after hearing that. He could not help but look at Lei Feihu next to him. "Brother Lei, do you believe me?"
"Most likely!"
Although Lei Feihu was unwilling to admit it, he nodded and said, "I don't think those three juniors dare to lie to us. Moreover, the temperature here is extremely high. Even if Mad Southern Ye is the No. 1 in China's ancient martial arts world, he'll die if he really encounters the lava."
"Brother Shen, since Mad Southern Ye is dead, the grudge between you and him is over. Let's drop this!" Zhang Xuanqing from Dragon Tiger Mountain said with a soft sigh.
"The famous Mad Southern Ye died in the lava. What a tragedy!"
"Mad Southern Ye is the only one in China throughout all these years. He might've become a martial venerable if he continued to grow. It's such a pity that he's dead now."
"What's there to feel pity about? To me, it's good that he died. That devil has killed too many people, and he's finally getting his retribution! "
"…"
Meanwhile, the people behind him could not help but secretly shake their heads. They began discussing. There were those who felt sorry, those who sympathized, those who gloated, and those who were excited.
Master Xiegu was over the moon.
'Now, I'm undoubtedly the No. 1 in Tiannan!'
Shen Tiannan seemed to be unwilling to give up. His face was filled with resentment. "I was planning to eat his flesh and drink his blood after I killed him. Now, that brat is lucky!"
"Master Shen, since Mad Southern Ye is dead, it has nothing to do with us, right? Shouldn't you put me down now? "Yu Lian, who was in his hand, said while shaking.
"Put you down?"
Shen Tiannan grinned ferociously. "Sure, I'll put you down now!"
In the next second!
He tossed Yu Lian to the sinkhole on the ground. Yuan Qitai and Zhang Xuanqing could not stop him in time even if they wanted to.
"No!
I don't want to die! "
Yu Lian cried on the spot as fear filled her face.
Never had she thought that Shen Tiannan would still want to kill her.
"Sister Yu Lian!"
"Yu Lian!"
Yu Lei and Zhizhi were stunned.
The rest were shocked too. They did not expect Shen Tiannan to be so cruel.
"Mad Southern Ye killed my son. Since you guys are related to him, die! Die with my son!"
Shen Tiannan was hysterical. He grabbed Yu Lei and Zhizhi again and was going to toss them into the sinkhole like before.
"Shen Tiannan, you're crossing the line!"
Zhang Xuanqing was enraged. Just when he was going to attack …
Bang!
A loud thud that sounded like a thunderclap came. Subsequently, the ground shook. The people looked shocked when they finally stabilized themselves. Even Shen Tiannan and Lei Feihu were no exception.
"What happened?"
"Is that an earthquake?"
"…"
"Look at the sinkhole!"
Someone screamed at that moment.
The people looked immediately. The sinkhole that was unusually quiet earlier was shaking intensely as if it was going to collapse at any time.
In the next second …
A gigantic flaming dragon shot out of the sinkhole that looked like a giant chimney. The flaming dragon was approximately 10 meters in diameter and 20 meters tall. The gigantic flame almost dyed the entire place red.
The people looked at it in horror. Someone inhaled sharply all of a sudden and said, "Look, there seems to be a person on the flaming dragon's head!"
