Blood Soul Valley at the Forbidden Land's Edge, the Ancient Demonic Plant Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus!

Central City Li Xuan and Zhao Cheng consumed a large amount of Spiritual Power in the Heavenly Court Secret Realm.

Now, its strength is less than one-tenth of what it once was.

It's clear that something's wrong with Fengyang City now, and it would be unwise for them to Probe rashly given their current strength.

The two randomly chose an inn, only to find that there was no one there at all.

There was neither a boss nor customers.

None of the valuables in the inn were taken away, and there was still half-eaten food and drinks on the dining table on the first floor.

It's as if all the people here suddenly disappeared.

The two were now completely certain that something serious had happened in Fengyang City.

"They're either heretical cultivators or demons and evil spirits!" Zhao Cheng said.

"Could it be the Blood Baleful Energy Sect? I've heard that the Blood Baleful Energy Sect has Dharma School Refinement essence blood, using people to make pills and improve cultivation."

Zhao Cheng shook his head. "Although the Blood Baleful Energy Sect is Sixth Pin sect with several Golden Core elders, they are all newly Golden Core. They would never dare to attack your Heavenly Cloud Sect rashly."

"Moreover, how much essence blood can A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality possess? Even if they had such an evil method, they would still use cultivators to refine pills, just like the sects that were destroyed by the Blood Baleful Energy Sect before!"

"Does the Blood Baleful Energy Sect really possess a method of refining pills from living people?"

"Most likely, but with the Blood Baleful Energy Sect acting this way, it probably won't last long and will inevitably face a joint effort from the righteous sects to wipe it out."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's recover our Spiritual Power first!"

The two each found a room at random and began Meditation to recover their Spiritual Power.

More than 15,000 kilometers away from Fengyang City, there is a place called Blood Soul Valley.

This Blood Soul Valley is the headquarters of the Blood Baleful Energy Sect in the Cangnan Region.

Blood Soul Valley is protected by Blood Soul Grand Formation, which is perpetually shrouded in red mist, making it difficult for A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality to enter, and deadly for birds and beasts that touch it.

At the edge of the red mist, piles of White Bone lay everywhere.

At this moment, a streak of red light flashed past and landed directly outside the Blood Soul Grand Formation.

This is a Blood Baleful Energy Sect elder wearing dark red cesium armor.

Golden Core Late Stage cultivation.

He then performed a complex set of hand seals, and a red light rose from his palm.

When the red light shone on the crimson blood mist, it automatically dispersed to both sides, creating a passage.

After the person stepped into the blood mist, the passage closed automatically.

This person also disappeared into the crimson blood mist.

A moment later, a streak of white light flashed by.

A slender figure dressed in a moon-white robe suddenly appeared in the sky above Blood Soul Valley.

It was Lan Haoyue after she separated from Ling Yi.

He had come here in pursuit of this Blood Baleful Energy Sect elder.

"So, the Blood Baleful Energy Sect's headquarters is actually located on the edge of the forbidden Blood Soul Valley." Lan Haoyue frowned.

He Perception the Blood Soul Grand Formation and found it to be First Pin Formation.

In the entire Cangnan Region, there are only two sects that possess First Pin Formation, and both are located in Central Sacred Province.

First Pin First Pin Formation trap and kill even those in the Body Integration Stage; only experts in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage or Mahayana Stage can break through Formation.

This Blood Baleful Energy Sect actually possesses First Pin Formation.

This made Lan Haoyue believe Ling Yi's words even more.

Moreover, the Blood Baleful Energy Sect is located in Blood Soul Valley on the edge of the forbidden area. Could this be the passage that the Blood Demon Sect will use to open up the forbidden area in the future?

"No, we should tell Father about this as soon as possible. If this Demon-Resisting Talisman is real, perhaps my situation will take a turn for the better."

First Pin Formation, Lan Haoyue naturally dared not touch it. After taking a deep look at the blood-red mist filling the valley, Lan Haoyue turned and flew away, heading straight for Central Province.

After Lan Haoyue left, a pair of crimson eyes appeared in the blood mist.

But then it slowly disappeared.

One night passed.

As the sun rose, Fengyang City regained some of its liveliness.

However, the Fengyang City was filled with the sounds of weeping, and an atmosphere of sorrow and desolation.

Nearly 10,000 people disappeared from Fengyang City overnight yesterday.

It wasn't just ordinary people who disappeared; even the city lord's mansion, also known as the Lei Family mansion, with its hundreds of cultivators inside and out, vanished without a trace.

This includes Lei Haotian, the head of the Lei Family and the city lord of Fengyang City, who has reached the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even a fool could see that demons, evil spirits, or wicked Demon Person had appeared in Fengyang City!

This Fengyang City is no longer safe to stay in.

People carrying large and small bags hurried towards the city gate.

But at this moment, the entire Fengyang City was already shrouded in dark red Huoyan, making it impossible to leave even if one wanted to.

This Huoyan shield, like an inverted bowl, encased the entire Fengyang City inside.

Anyone who gets close to the Huoyan shield will be instantly burned to ashes.

Zhao Cheng and Li Xuan stood on the roof of the inn, gazing at the sky with solemn expressions.

" Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus!" Zhao Cheng murmured.

"What did you say? What Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus?!"

"Read more books, Reckless Man!" Zhao Cheng retorted.

He then took a deep breath and said, "Several years ago, I obtained an ancient jade slip from a secret realm."

"According to the jade slip, there is a demonic plant seed in one of the five states of the Cangnan Region."

"Once this demonic plant seed comes to life, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Cangnan Region."

" Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus?"

"Yes, it's the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus!"

"Is this Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus very powerful?"

" The Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus possesses sentience; once it matures and transforms into a spirit, it will have the strength of Golden Core Stage cultivator."

"He's just Golden Core Stage cultivator; we can find the Ancestor to destroy him later!"

Zhao Cheng rolled his eyes at him. "What do you know... Although it's only at the Golden Core Stage, this Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus possesses demonic fire that can scorch everything in heaven and earth. Even First Pin Immortal Artifact can be incinerated in an instant."

"That powerful? Really? Does that mean that once the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus transforms into a spirit, it becomes invincible?"

"You don't mean to say that the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus is in Fengyang City, do you?" Li Xuan asked, glancing at the sky.

"Although the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus is terrifying, if it is Refinement before it undergoes spiritual transformation, it can become a controllable treasure."

"Therefore, whoever obtains the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus is invincible?"

Zhao Cheng shook his head. "If someone really Refinement the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus ahead of time, that would actually be a good thing."

"Uh, why?"

"If the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus is Refinement by someone, its power will be affected by the cultivation level of the person who controls it, and its power will be greatly reduced."

"However, once the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus transforms into a spirit, it will become impossible to Refinement, and the power of the demonic fire will no longer be restrained."

"The Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus needs to devour a large number of living beings to increase its strength. At that time, the entire Cangnan Region will probably become a living Purgatory."

"Based on the information left by that ancient jade slip, I deduced that the seed of this Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus should be near Fengyang City."

"Is this why you came to Fengyang City years ago?"

"Yes, it's a pity I didn't find that seed back then."

Zhao Cheng sighed, "Hopefully it's not the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus, otherwise, it'll be a real problem."

He paused, then asked Li Xuan, "Is there subterranean fire in Fengyang City?"

"I don't know. There are hundreds of cities within the Heavenly Cloud Sect's territory. How could I know all of them? I only come to Fengyang City more often because it's close to the Heavenly Cloud Sect's headquarters."

Zhao Cheng glanced at him and sighed, "What use are you?"

Although he didn't say it aloud, Li Xuan understood the meaning in Zhao Cheng's eyes.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Cheng said, "If it really is Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus, then there must be underground fire. We need to determine the location of the underground fire as soon as possible."

"Find and Refinement the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus before it fully transforms into a spiritual form; only then can this calamity be averted!"

"Who Refinement?" Li Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Do you know the method of Refinement?" Zhao Cheng rolled his eyes at him.

" Refinement is just Refinement, does it really require special Dharma School?"

This is what I'm most worried about.

"As I said, the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus is born with a spirit and is extremely intelligent. If one does not know the method of Refinement, one may very well be deceived by the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus."

"Furthermore, by using this person to continuously devour living beings and accelerate their transformation into spirits, the reason why Fengyang City has lost so many people is probably due to this."

"So, that idiot was fooled by the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus, thinking Refinement Refinement he hadn't? And he even helped the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus complete its spirit transformation?"

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he jumped off the inn. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's find the Earth Fire!"

"The fire is underground; let's find where the underground passage is!"

"I understand!"

"Split up!"

"Good!"

The two, one in the south and one in the north, quickly scanned the surrounding buildings with their Spiritual Sense.

They searched every secret passage leading underground.

However, Fengyang City is not small, and since the two are only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, their Spiritual Sense range is not large, so it will not be easy to find them in a short time.

Meanwhile, 600 meters underground from Fengyang City.

Consecrator Bai and Lei Hongfei were squatting at the edge of a cave entrance, looking at the dark red lotus in the lava in the distance, their faces full of excitement.

"The speed is faster than I expected. At the current growth rate, the ninth leaf will be fully formed in four days at most. At that time, I will be invincible in the Cangnan Region," Consecrator Bai said, his voice trembling.

He never expected that after the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus reached the Eighth Pin, it could actually generate a fire domain that enveloped the entire Fengyang City, and it could even "feed" on its own.

If that's not the case, it's hard to say how long we'll have to wait.

"It wasn't in vain that I brought the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus seed out of the secret realm; I've successfully cultivated it."

The secret realm that Consecrator Bai mentioned and the secret realm that Zhao Cheng spoke of are most likely the same one.

However, Consecrator Bai only knew about the Nine-Leaf Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus, knew its power, and knew that he needed to Refinement before it took human Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus in order to fully control it.

However, he did not know the correct method for Refinement the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus.

Ordinary Refinement methods will naturally not work.

Now, just as Zhao Cheng said, he thought he Refinement the Nine-Leaf Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus, but in reality, he was just deceived by it.

Once the Nine- Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus transforms into a spirit, these two will likely be the first to be burned to ashes by it.

Lei Hongfei nearby, could only watch with envy.

He was just an ordinary person with no Spiritual Root, so he had no way to Refinement Refinement.

What he's most worried about now is that the Consecrator Bai be betrayed.

If the Consecrator Bai turns against him, just throw him into the fire, and he's finished.

"Don't worry, I, Bai Qi, keep my word. I won't break my promise to give you the lotus seeds!"

Hearing Consecrator Bai Qi's words, Lei Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief.

He conspired with Bai Qi to achieve this day, even dragging the entire Lei Family into it.

In Ling Yi's courtyard, he, who was in seclusion "cultivating," suddenly opened his eyes.

He naturally Perception the commotion caused by the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus.

He didn't take it seriously at first, since Ling Yi didn't know the origin of the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus.

"This fire is something else!"

Ling Yi glanced at the ground, then at the sky, a blue light rising in his eyes...
