"It makes sense, but how do you cross this river of fire now? Fly over directly?" Yuan Ming nodded, seeming to be convinced, and then asked again.

Fairy Yunluo didn't say anything. She raised her hand and made a little flaming red light appear in the void, condensing into a palm-sized flaming red bird.

This bird seemed to be very adapted to the hot environment around it. After chirping happily, it flew towards the river of fire under the command of Fairy Yunluo.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the flaming red bird flew over the Fire River, the flames on the river surged up instantly, surrounding the bird like a living creature. At the same time, Yuan Ming and Fairy Yunluo saw only a white light in the sky. Flashed by, followed by a thunderous explosion, the fiery red bird was instantly hit by the white light, and was immediately swallowed up by the flames, completely turning into ashes.

"This river is indeed not that easy to live in. Such a powerful thunder and fire attack, even with the strength of you and me, I'm afraid there will be no return." Yuan Ming's expression changed slightly, and he said with a hint of solemnity.

The two then discussed and came up with various ways to cross the river, such as crossing the river in a high-temperature-resistant boat; or using fire escape techniques; or even using earth escape to travel through the bottom of the Fire River, but all failed without exception.

"Since this rolling river of fire is for a trial, there is absolutely no way to set up any death zone. Maybe we missed something, and there should be some kind of reminder nearby." Fairy Yunluo glanced around.

Just as the two were about to search along the river bank, Yuan Ming's expression suddenly changed and he whispered: "Someone is coming."

Before he finished speaking, there was a roaring sound behind him, and several powerful auras flew towards him.

Fairy Yunluo's body flashed white, and her breath weakened to the early stage of returning to the void.

The two of them immediately looked at each other, pretending to arrive here by accident, and looked at the long river in amazement.

Soon, several escaping lights stopped beside the two of them, and it was Ouyang Qiang and four or five Huixu elders from Dongji Palace who came, including Huangfu Jue.

Seeing Yuan Ming and the others, Huangfu Jue's eyes suddenly lit up, he whispered a few words to Ouyang Qiang, and then walked over first.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan and Fellow Daoist Yunluo, seeing that you two are fine really makes me breathe a sigh of relief." He said with a smile.

"I am truly honored to have Fellow Taoist Huangfu care about me so much." Fairy Yunluo also covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Alas, you were originally recruited, but you were implicated by me and captured by Mao Yi. I have always been deeply disturbed by this matter. Fortunately, you two are safe." Huangfu Jue said.

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Huangfu. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Huangfu knows how the current situation of Fellow Daoist Wu and Fellow Daoist Qin is?" Yuan Ming said politely, and then asked about the whereabouts of the bald old man and the white-faced scholar who were setting up the formation together.

"I have never seen them two before, I hope they are safe and sound." Huangfu Jue shook his head and sighed.

Yuan Ming nodded without saying anything.

"There are many dangers in the secret area of ​​the mausoleum, and many forces are involved. You two are alone outside, and you will inevitably encounter danger again. Since you have encountered danger again, why not join our team in Dongji Palace so that you can take care of us in the future." Huangfu Jue invited.

Yuan Ming did not speak, but just looked at Fairy Yunluo. He now agreed to help this woman win the treasure. Naturally, he would let this woman make her decision on how to do it.

"The two of us are worried about this matter. Thank you Taoist friend Huangfu for the invitation." Fairy Yunluo agreed with a look of relief on her face.

Huangfu Jue was very happy when he saw the two agreed. He took them to Ouyang Qiang and introduced them to other people in Dongji Palace.

"You two little friends, when did you arrive here? Did you find anything?" Ouyang Qiang looked at Yuan Ming and asked.

Yuan Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that under Ouyang Qiang's gaze, it was difficult to control his hands and feet, as if all the secrets had been seen through.

"For the record, Palace Master Ouyang, we have just arrived and found nothing special..." He calmed down and recounted the actions of the two after they arrived at the Burning Fire River. He did not hide the process of trying to cross the river.

After hearing this, Ouyang Qiang looked at the burning river of fire and was thinking about something.

At the same time, two more groups of people came to the edge of the Burning Fire River almost at the same time, but they were Luojia Mountain and Bilongtan Xuxu monks, each with three or four people.

Seeing the monks from Dongji Palace gathering here, those people dispersed in unison, not daring to get close.

"Palace Master, Bai Yuan and Zhu Yu are not here, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity..." Huangfu Jue said in a low voice with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Ouyang Qiang's eyes fell on them for a moment, and she seemed to be moved.

But before she could make any move, a huge ray of light came from the sky, and with a loud bang, it landed heavily on the place where the monks gathered in Bilongtan.

"Haha, how about it? I'm not late, am I?" With loud laughter, Zhu Yu strode out and showed a provocative smile to Ouyang Qiang.

"Zhu Yu, haven't you demon cultivators in Bilongtan always stayed away from the abyss? Why do you want to get involved now?" Ouyang Qiang said coldly.

"The tomb of Emperor Yan is born, and everyone who sees it has a share. You people from Dongji Palace can come, why can't we? As for the risks, don't worry about it, Palace Master Ouyang." Zhu Yu smiled and didn't take it seriously. road.

Ouyang Qiang's expression grew colder, and at this moment, Bai Yuan's voice suddenly came from the distance.

"Brother Zhu Yu is right. The Yanhuang Mausoleum is not the private land of your Dongji Palace. How can it be your exclusive possession?" As he spoke, Bai Yuan slowly floated down from the sky with two people. It was the waiter and the waiter. The strong blond man who has practiced spiritual eyes and supernatural powers.

Ouyang Qiang couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw that Luojia Mountain and Bilongtan were trying to join forces, while Dongji Palace was alone.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from a distance.

"Haha, you all came so quickly, but Mao was the slowest one. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

Before the laughter stopped, several black shadows flashed towards them. It was Mao Yi and four or five Black Demon Sect monks, including the hunchbacked man and the black-armored man transformed by the Dragon Turtle.

Seeing Mao Yi appear, Ouyang Qiang's expression was obviously relieved.

Yuan Ming looked on coldly and basically understood the current situation.

Bilongtan and Luojia Mountain join forces, and Dongji Palace and Heishamen act together. However, the four major forces have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and they have forged countless conflicts. The alliance between the two parties is not strong and may break down at any time.

"Palace Master Ouyang, doesn't your Dongji Palace always claim to be orthodox? You actually joined forces with the demon cultivator. I really wonder how the major island owners and families in the East Ji Sea will react when they find out about this?" Zhu Yu said with a smile.

"It's just a treasure hunt in a secret place. We just happened to be together so we acted together. But you and Bilongtan actually wear the same pants as Luojia Mountain. It's really eye-opening. Luojia Mountain captures and domesticates less than 10,000 underwater monsters every year. There are also eight thousand. I wonder what the many demon clans in the East Extreme Sea will think when the news of your alliance spreads? Will they continue to obey the command of Bilongtan?" Ouyang Qiang did not back down and immediately retorted.

Zhu Yu's face sank, a hint of murderous intent flashed through his eyes as he looked at Ouyang Qiang, and the atmosphere became solemn.

"Two fellow Taoists, please be patient. The secret realm of Emperor Yan has not been fully explored yet, so we will start fighting. It is really unnecessary. How about we each take a step back?" Bai Yuan coughed and came out to smooth things over.

Ouyang Qiang and Zhu Yu snorted coldly and looked away, and the tense atmosphere relaxed slightly.

"Palace Master Ouyang, was the news about Emperor Yan's mausoleum leaked by your people?" Mao Yi sent a message to Ouyang Qiang and asked.

Every one of his people is under his control and this matter will never be leaked.

"Of course not. After I received your news, I immediately took control of all the insiders. The news definitely did not spread from Dongji Palace." Ouyang Qiang said.

"That's strange. How could Luojia Mountain and Bilongtan know about this..." Mao Yi was puzzled.

He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother and discussed with Ouyang Qiang how to cross the river.

At this moment, a sudden loud noise interrupted his words.

Everyone turned to look and saw four stone bridges made of red bricks rising slowly from the flames on the wide river, connecting the two sides of the Fire River.

Immediately afterwards, a large piece of crimson mist rose from the flaming river, wrapping the stone bridge like a curtain.

Everyone was taken aback and tried to detect with their spiritual consciousness. However, as soon as their spiritual consciousness came into contact with the red mist, a blazing fire like a phantom shot up the pole, burning out their spiritual consciousness and spreading towards the physical Nascent Soul. Come.

Everyone who detected their spiritual consciousness was startled, and they quickly cast spells to cut off their spiritual consciousness, so that their bodies were not burned by the illusory fire.

"It seems that this stone bridge is the test of this place, but I don't know what this test is..." Yuan Ming knew the origin of this secret realm of fire and thought secretly.

Ouyang Qiang and other four Dharma phase monks also used their spiritual consciousness to explore the situation of the stone bridge. They also suffered a secret loss and looked much more serious.

"What's going on with this stone bridge? Could it be a passage on the Fire River?" Zhu Yu said.

"If it is a normal passage, there is no need to create four. From Bai's point of view, the land of red flames in front of him and the stone bridge of the Rolling Fire River in front of him are like some kind of test." Bai Yuan shook his head.

"A test? Haha, that's interesting." Mao Yi smiled and waved his sleeves.

Four black lights shot out from his sleeves and robes one by one. They were four flying snakes with flesh wings, flying onto a stone bridge respectively and heading straight to the opposite side.

Just like the fiery red birds released by Fairy Yunluo earlier, the four flying snakes had just flown onto the stone bridge and were immediately attacked by the fire in the river and the thunder in the sky, and were instantly smashed into pieces.

Mao Yi frowned slightly, flicked his sleeves and robe again, and released four flying snakes to float in front of him, but did not let them board the bridge immediately, as if he was considering how to move forward.

"Senior Mao Yi, why not let these flying snakes land on the bridge and walk on it." Yuan Ming coughed lightly and suggested.

Mao Yi glanced at Yuan Ming, pondered for a moment, raised one hand, and controlled four flying snakes to fall down and move forward on the stone bridge.

Under the gaze of everyone, the red mist around the stone bridge slowly surged, but the flames and thunder that had just attacked did not appear.
