Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 28: The Dual Yin Fire Formation

"Fellow Daoist Gui Ying, do you know the name of this formation outside the hall?"

"I don't know."

"It's called the Dual Yin Fire Formation, a Rank Three formation. Its formation lines are connected to the underground fire veins, providing endless energy. Even a Gold Core stage elder would not fare well if they were to face it head-on."

"Fortunately, no one is currently controlling the formation, and the protective shield is merely a reflex of the formation. In reality, it is not functioning at all. Otherwise, just from your previous probing, a trace of its power leaking out would be enough to turn you into ashes."

"Uh... Gui Ying, where are you going?"

Just as Qin Long was speaking, Liang Xiao nodded and pulled Pandora, about to leave, leaving Qin Long stunned.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, are you trying to make me happy? A Gold Core stage cultivator, even within a major sect, is considered an elder. As a Qi Refining stage cultivator at the third level, I am nothing more than an ant. It's better not to risk my life."

Liang Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but he suddenly felt that the Blood Nightmare Technique was not bad after all. He could reluctantly practice it. The true transmission techniques were too far out of reach for him.

"I didn't expect you to be so impatient!"

"Since I came here, I must have full confidence. Take a look at this."

Qin Long chuckled and wiped her waist storage bag with her hand. An ancient jade talisman appeared in her palm.

As soon as this jade talisman appeared, a strange sensation arose in the surroundings. The protective red light shield that protected the Earth Fire Great Hall actually manifested for an instant before dissipating like a bubble.

The heavy and ancient bronze doors of the hall opened with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

This jade talisman was actually the restriction that controlled the formation!

Seeing this, Liang Xiao was not delighted but instead felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, all the way to the top of his head!

This was the ruins of a sect that had been destroyed for over four hundred years. A Qi Refining stage female cultivator actually took out the restriction of the entire hall.

It seemed like she was inviting him to enter and search for treasures. With this restriction, why didn't she go in alone?

To obtain the true transmission techniques and treasures alone, wouldn't that be wonderful?

The opened bronze door revealed a deep and decaying interior, emitting an aura of decay. At this moment, it looked like the mouth of a monster.

Coupled with the strange behavior of this woman along the way, Liang Xiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

It was too bizarre, too strange.

Could it be that this female cultivator was actually a spirit of Heavenly Sun Mountain, specifically luring powerful cultivators to explore and search for treasures, and then devouring them alive?

But why didn't they send a beautiful female ghost? What's the deal with just having a pleasant voice?

Could it be that they didn't have enough budget?

Liang Xiao, perhaps due to his excessive memories from his past life, had a thought process that was faster than ordinary people. This was also his subconscious way of relieving fear.

The more nervous and fearful he was, the more chaotic thoughts he had.

However, Qin Long, seeing the increasingly abnormal expression on Liang Xiao's face, her own face turned dark, and she said expressionlessly, "You better not be thinking of anything disrespectful!"

Liang Xiao forced a bitter smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, who exactly are you? Could it be that you are from Heavenly Sun Mountain... But we have no grudges or grievances. Could it be because of my sect's heritage?"

After speaking, Liang Xiao himself began to doubt. Heavenly Sun Mountain happened to be destroyed by the Myriad Demons Cave behind him. Could it be just a coincidence?

Strictly speaking, there might be a cause and effect between Liang Xiao and the spirit of Heavenly Sun Mountain.

"Sect heritage? What nonsense. Oh, you mean to say you're not an Independent Cultivator? But what does that have to do with me!"

Qin Long inexplicably glanced at him and explained,

"I was originally just a martial artist from the Yan Kingdom. I was being chased by someone, fell off a cliff, and encountered a stroke of luck, inheriting the legacy of a senior cultivator from Heavenly Sun Mountain. That's how I obtained this restriction jade plaque."

"Unfortunately, this restriction only works for the Earth Fire Great Hall. I have been blocked by a poisonous barrier and couldn't find a way to enter this peak until I coincidentally saw the mission posted by Team Leader Luo at the Storm Surge Tower..."

Liang Xiao suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh. The other party's luck was truly profound.

Being chased by someone, falling off a cliff, encountering a stroke of luck, and inheriting the Earth Fire Great Hall... What kind of luck was this?

"But how did you escape from the pursuit of the guardian puppet?"

Liang Xiao was genuinely curious about this.

"Oh, that puppet was quite difficult to deal with. Fortunately, it had been neglected for a long time and no one took care of it. I managed to hold it off for a few moves until it ran out of energy, and then I took it away."

Qin Long also showed a hint of fear. He took out the puppet, which looked like a general on the battlefield, from his storage bag. It even maintained the posture of fighting, emitting a strong killing intent.

However, at this moment, it was dull and motionless.

Liang Xiao was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that the puppet that had forcefully dispersed the exploration team was actually a nearly depleted one, a paper tiger.

If Luo Dongbao was willing to take some risks and exchange a few moves with this puppet, not only could he resolve the crisis of the team disbanding, but he could also obtain a powerful puppet.

It was truly a matter of timing and fate.

Moreover, being in a world of immortals and martial arts, Liang Xiao couldn't help but think of more.

After taking another look at the young female cultivator in front of him, who had an ordinary appearance but a clear and captivating voice, he couldn't help but wonder.

Could you be the great Son of Fortune?

Qin Long put away the guardian puppet on the ground, glanced at Liang Xiao, and sighed, saying,

"I know what you're worried about, but I have no intention of harming you. The things in the Earth Fire Great Hall are not easy to obtain. I just want more helpers to be on the safe side."

Liang Xiao pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "I'm only at the third level of Qi Refining, my strength is weak, and it's hard to say how much help I can provide."

"I know, that's why I said the main helper is not you, but it!"

Qin Long nodded, affirming the former's statement. He extended his slender jade hand and pointed at Pandora, who was wearing a black robe and completely covered.

"I have a secret technique that senses danger, and it gives me a very strong sense of crisis!"

Liang Xiao's face darkened.

He was about to say that Pandora was only at the first level of Qi Refining, even lower than himself. However, he remembered that in terms of actual combat power, he probably wasn't Pandora's match at the moment.

Pandora, who sensed Liang Xiao's thoughts through their mental connection, had a pure mind and didn't give him face. At this moment, she transmitted a burst of cheerful laughter.

"In that case, I'll accompany you to explore this Earth Fire Great Hall."

In the end, the desire for true transmission techniques overcame hesitation. Liang Xiao pursed his slightly dry lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's walk side by side, but don't exceed three steps. Otherwise, I will withdraw at any time!"

"Okay."

Qin Long nodded calmly and drew out a sword that gleamed with a cold light in advance.

The two approached each other, with Pandora following behind Liang Xiao. The three of them entered the Earth Fire Great Hall together.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, the Two Fire Formation outside was restored, and the bronze doors slowly closed.

At the same time, on a hidden and treacherous gaze on a rock wall several miles away, accompanied by the thunderous closing of the bronze doors, it was cut off from the outside.
