Celestial being

"It seems that as long as you step on the bridge, you can avoid thunder and fire attacks." Zhu Yu's eyes wandered back and forth on several flying snakes, and he nodded slowly until the flying snakes swam ashore.

"You are very good. This is the antidote to Ziying poison. It is a reward for you." Mao Yi said to Yuan Ming approvingly, took out a small white porcelain bottle and threw it over.

Yuan Ming caught the porcelain bottle, smiled and put it away.

Huazhi had already prepared the antidote yesterday. He and Fairy Yunluo had already cured the purple poison, so there was no need for this product at all.

Mao Yi closed his eyes and controlled the flying snake to continue moving forward, and soon disappeared into the red mist.

At this moment, his expression changed slightly and he opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Ouyang Qiang asked.

"The spiritual connection between Fei Shen and me was suddenly interrupted." Mao Yi said in a deep voice.

"Killed?"

"I don't know, maybe he was killed, or maybe he was isolated by some restrictions on the bridge." Mao Yi said slowly.

"It seems that the old man Yanhuang has some tricks up his sleeve." Ouyang Qiang's eyes flashed slightly.

"The old Yanhuang was only in his Dharma phase before he disappeared. Even if he faked his death and escaped and hid here, he could have assassinated the four of us at the same time?" Zhu Yu said disdainfully.

"Haha, fellow Taoist Zhu Yu is worthy of being the leader of Bilongtan. He is indeed heroic. In that case, please go to the bridge first. How about we help you raid the formation outside?" Ouyang Qiang said with a roar.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Zhu Yu sneered and strode towards the stone bridge.

"Hey, brother Zhu Yu, why should you be angry? We have to do everything first. Then what are you doing with all these subordinates? In my opinion, it is better for the family to send a spy to take a look at the truth first." Bai Yuan hurriedly stopped Zhu Yu, suggested.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the Void Returning cultivators present, as well as several level five demon clans in Bilongtan, all changed.

"That's a good idea, Wu Xiang, let's go up the bridge and try." Zhu Yu nodded after thinking for a while, turned around and stared at a man in black, and gave direct orders.

The man in black trembled and seemed very reluctant, but in the end he stood up without saying a word, not daring to go against Zhu Yu's wishes.

"That's fine, Jiang Huan, it's up to you." Mao Yi said.

"Yes!" Among the crowd of Heishamen, a red-haired man walked out with a pale face and some trembling.

Bai Yuan looked at the group of cultivators in Luojia Mountain beside him, and finally selected the oldest cultivator named He Xin.

"Is there anyone who wants to go voluntarily?" Ouyang Qiang looked back at the people in Dongji Palace.

The situation of Shiqiao has not been discovered at all. Who wants to be a spy?

Including Yuan Ming, several members of Dongji Palace bowed their heads.

"Since no one is willing, let's draw lots to decide." Ouyang Qiang raised her hand and called out a bamboo tube with several bamboo sticks in it.

Ouyang Qiang quickly carved the names of several people from Dongji Palace on the bamboo stick and inserted a magic formula into it.

The bamboo tube shook violently in front of everyone, and after a moment, a bamboo stick fell out, and it was Yuan Ming's name clearly engraved on it.

"Then the decision is yours." Ouyang Qiang put away the magic weapon and said calmly.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, be more careful." Huangfu Jue warned.

Yuan Ming didn't say anything. He waved his hand to pick up the bamboo sticks on the ground, nodded to Huangfu Jue, and walked out of the crowd.

At this moment, Fairy Yunluo suddenly took his hand as if she was worried about his safety. Yuan Ming raised his head and met her eyes.

"Be careful." Fairy Yunluo gently moved her lips and warned.

At the same time, another voice came into Yuan Ming's consciousness: "Ouyang Qiang manipulated the result."

Hearing this, the expression on Yuan Ming's face did not change at all. He just patted the back of Fairy Yunluo's hand and stood together with the spies selected by the other three forces.

"You should wear this communion talisman close to your body. This is a talisman I specially researched. There are two talismans in a pair. It can not only detect the life and death of the person wearing it, but also communicate with them." Bai Yuan said, raising his hand. With a sweep, eight yellow talismans flew out instantly, and four of them landed in front of Yuan Ming and the others.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, is this communion talisman safe? There are restrictions on the stone bridge. Don't let the restrictions block the induction?" Ouyang Qiang asked.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ouyang, my Shared Fate Talisman is made of highly sensitive spiritual materials. The restriction cannot block it. At least I have never seen any restriction that can block the Shared Fate Talisman." Bai Yuan said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ouyang Qiang and others were relieved.

Yuan Ming and the others took the talisman and wore it on their bodies.

A strange wave emerged from the talisman and merged into the bodies of the four people.

There was a little surprise on the four people's faces, and then they all walked towards the stone bridge silently, passed through the red mist curtain covering the bridge, and completely disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Ouyang Qiang and others immediately turned their attention to the Talisman of Shared Fate, and at this moment, the Talisman representing Wuxiang exploded instantly, turning into fragments and falling down.

Then came Jiang Huan. His destiny talisman cracked suddenly at first, but then healed quickly. However, after holding on for half a quarter of an hour, it exploded together with Luojia Mountain He Xin's destiny talisman.

The only one left is Yuan Ming.

The death of the three Void-Returning monks obviously consumed everyone's confidence. They no longer expected any results at this moment. Mao Yi and others even began to select the next subordinate responsible for exploring the path.

However, after a stick of incense passed by, Yuan Ming's talisman of common destiny was still suspended in mid-air without any cracks.

"Oh, this person has some abilities. What's his name? Why haven't you heard of him before?" Zhu Yu became interested and asked casually.

"His name is Yuan Ming, but he is a rare fifth-level formation master. I don't know what medicine you took wrong, Ouyang Qiang. Such a talent can be used to explore the way." Mao Yi sneered and pointedly said Looked at Ouyang Qiang.

Ouyang Qiang didn't answer and grabbed the talisman of common fate.

"Yuan Ming, tell me your current situation." She asked quickly.

When Yuan Ming crossed the flame curtain and stepped onto the stone bridge, he suddenly felt the hot wind whistling in. His whole body felt as if he was in an alchemy furnace, being burned and refined like medicinal materials.

Yuan Ming immediately cast a spell, sacrificing two fire-proof magic weapons, and added several layers of water-attribute shields to his body, which was able to withstand the hot wind.

But before he could move forward very far, a large blue flame suddenly appeared on the bridge. Before he even got close, Yuan Ming's soul felt the fusion of ice and heat.

Yuan Ming was not surprised by this. It was impossible for him to walk across this bridge smoothly.

The blue flame that appeared in front of you must be some kind of real fire. You must not resist it until you understand its characteristics.

While Yuan Ming was thinking, he reached out decisively and touched the storage ring. A flash of light flashed between his fingers, and the Flame Emperor Ruyi Stick appeared instantly and was held in his palm.

Since no one could spy on the situation on the bridge, he was not worried about his possession of the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick being exposed.

With a soft sound of "Woo", the Flame Emperor's Ruyi Stick turned into a black shadow and shot out, hitting the blue flame, and the blue flame shattered with a sound.

Not only that, the shattered blue flames seemed to have received orders at the next moment. They all turned around and rushed toward the Flame Emperor Ruyi Stick crazily, swallowing them all.

With its help, no flame can get close to Yuan Ming's body, let alone harm Yuan Ming.

After the faint blue flames were swallowed up, small orange-red flames that looked like ants suddenly appeared on the stone bridge. This seemed to be a new real fire, but before Yuan Ming could take a closer look, the Flame Emperor Ruyi Stick came on Then a suction force came out and actively swallowed up the newly emerged true fire.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming nodded secretly.

When he previously discovered that the Flame Emperor Ruyi Stick could absorb the flame beast's crystal core, he speculated that it might be able to directly absorb flames to draw power. Now that he had tried it, it was indeed the case.

In this way, he no longer has to worry about being attacked by flames in the river when crossing the bridge, and he saves a lot of trouble.

At this moment, the communion talisman on Yuan Ming's body suddenly flashed, and Ouyang Qiang's voice came from inside: "Yuan Ming, tell me your current situation."

Yuan Ming's face was expressionless. Although he was from Dongji Palace on the surface, he was actually just in name. Ouyang Qiang regarded him as an abandoned son and threw him on the stone bridge to ask for directions. He had nothing to say.

However, after this incident, the little good impression he had on Dongji Palace disappeared.

Yuan Ming ignored Ouyang Qiang, put away the Talisman of Shared Life, and continued to move forward.

All kinds of real fires and flames kept coming, becoming more and more powerful.

However, he was protected by the Flame Emperor's Ruyi Stick. No matter what kind of real fire came, he would become vulnerable to this stick and be swallowed up.

The red light on the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick became stronger and stronger, burning with a bang, emitting scorching heat.

"The Yanhuang Ruyi stick in the hands of Ouyang Qiang and Mao Yi, although full of momentum, does not seem to have the effect of swallowing flames. How can I have it? Could it be that something happened to this stick when it wandered to Sanxian Island?" Yuan Ming He looked at the short stick in his hand and muttered to himself.

He then shook his head and moved on.

After he had walked less than a hundred steps, there was a sudden explosion in the sky.

Before Yuan Ming had time to react, a bolt of thunder struck him head-on. The white lightning struck his body instantly, and then turned into countless tiny arcs of electricity and penetrated into his body through the pores.

At this moment, Yuan Ming felt the pain as if thousands of ants were eating his heart. Waves of burnt aroma wafted from his body, and his smooth skin became burnt black and shriveled, like charcoal.

Fortunately, Yuan Ming has become a body of all things, and his whole body is full of energy and blood. The flesh and blood burned by the thunder and fire are healing quickly, and they will soon be restored to their original appearance.

However, at this moment, more thunder struck in the sky, with the number and frequency getting higher and higher. The thunder further invaded Yuan Ming's body and penetrated into his meridians, causing the healing speed of his flesh and blood to suddenly slow down. A lot slower.

Yuan Ming was shocked and realized that he could no longer resist with his physical body alone, so he immediately transformed his physical body into the form of an immortal tree with a thought.

Immediately afterwards, countless thunderbolts came down and struck on the head of Yuan Ming, who had transformed into an immortal tree. The lightning turned into fire and invaded the branches, but no meridians and flesh could be found to be burned. The power was greatly reduced compared to before.

The surging vitality of the immortal tree also quickly repaired the injuries caused by the thunder and fire, much faster than Yuan Ming's physical body's self-healing ability.

In this way, the two reached a delicate balance. Although Yuan Ming still had to endure the pain, he no longer had to worry about his life.

It's just that he couldn't move in the state of the immortal tree, so he could only let the thunder and fire invade, constantly beating the branches and crown.
