At that time, the Green-maned Mantis happened to be working for the Demon King, but an accident happened midway. A batch of important items escorted by it were hijacked by the enemy.
All his companions were killed, and the mantis demon was also seriously injured. It knew that as long as the Golden-backed Demon King was blamed, he would definitely die, so he cruelly left Xuankong Valley and lived in seclusion in Soul Burial River. I don’t dare to go back.
"Since then, I have been cautious, asking some friends who passed by Xuankongyu about the situation from time to time. Sure enough, I found out that the Demon King was very angry at my mistakes and threatened to treat me as a traitor. After killing him, I also I can’t and don’t dare to show my face again.”
Having said this, the green-maned mantis demon seemed a little sad, and muttered: "Actually, I was not to blame for what happened back then, but now I have to bear all the consequences. Now I am still worried. It's really unlucky."
"Then I can only blame you for your misfortune." After hearing what the other party said, the mandrill laughed until his stomach hurt. King Jiaxiu and the others also winked and looked at each other with mocking eyes, which made the Green-maned Mantis very embarrassed.
"Hmph, we don't care about your affairs." Guan Heng said: "For the sake of you telling the truth, I will spare your life this time, but..."
"Hoo! Bang!" It was too late to say, but then he suddenly slapped the opponent's heart with his palm, "Boom!" In an instant, a stream of Mu Xuan spiritual energy poured into the opponent's body.
Mu Xuan's spiritual energy is the ultimate nemesis for the evil energy in the body of the green-maned mantid demon. It immediately wiped away the evil energy of the mantid demon. The breath in his body dried up. The green-maned mantid demon suddenly felt that he was going to die. He couldn't help but let out a shrill scream: "Uh. Ahhhh——”
"You bastard, what are you crying about? You can't die!"
"Pah!" As he said this, Guan Heng threw his hand and slapped the other person in an angry tone: "Wake up!"
"Huh?!" After hearing this, the green-maned mantis demon came to its senses and realized that the extreme pain of being purified of the evil energy in the body only lasted a moment. Now it was completely fine. It couldn't help but ask: "What the hell is going on here?" ?”
"Didn't Master Guan just say that?"
Demon Mandrill said coldly: "You can't die, but the evil energy absorbed in your body has disappeared. From now on, you can only live by absorbing ordinary spiritual energy, and your strength will also decline to the bottom. Congratulations, you will no longer be able to harm others. All you have to do is be bullied."
"Huh?!" Hearing this, the green-maned mantis demon had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether he was surprised, horrified, or lucky. Although he had lost most of his power, Guan Heng still spared its life and let this person live. Guys can continue to survive.
"Hmph, you can take care of yourself. It's time for us to leave." With that, Guan Heng waved to everyone and led his companions to leave the boundary of Soul Burial River in a hurry.
…
After a short while, everyone came to an area covered with scorched earth and extremely hot. Ruotao took a few sips from the kettle, then wiped her sweat and said, "Huh... this is like the situation in a ruins filled with fire spirit energy. It's hot and stuffy."
"Let me cool you down." After Qianxin said that, she smiled and conjured up a small ice ball, stuffed it into her hand, and asked: "How is it? Are you comfortable?"
"Ah, it's so cool..." Ruotao threw the ice ball into her mouth, chewed it loudly, and said, "Sister, I want more."
"That won't work. If you eat too much ice, your head will hurt." Qinghuang shook her head and said with a smile, "Wait a little longer before continuing to eat."
"Uh uh uh... Such a hot environment is so unbearable." Ruotao took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat, then said loudly: "Crazy Poisonous Ant Queen, when can we get out of this area? I'm almost dying from the heat. ”
"There's still half the journey."
The crazy poisonous ant queen was flying at low altitude at this time. She turned around and replied: "It is said that there is an earth fire vein nearby. It is deep underground. It usually does not show its power. Only at certain times of the year will it completely heat the ground. , making it unbearable for the nearby creatures.”
"The heat of this place is so intense that even fire-type insects, beasts, and birds are unwilling to stay here and will run away one after another."
"Is it so powerful?" After hearing the Queen Ant's words, everyone felt a little strange. Qinghuang asked: "How can the ordinary earth fire vein be so powerful? Isn't it very special?"
"Well, I really don't know about this." The queen ant thought for a while and then called out: "Hey, Blood-striped Wild Lion, do you know what's going on here?"
"Oh, I've heard a little about it before." After hearing its inquiry, the Blood-striped Wild Lion said: "As far as I know, this strange vein of earth fire seems to be related to the death of the previous spiritual fire body. "
"The body of fallen spiritual fire?" As soon as Huang Shi's words came out, Tianshou Qiyan, Bai Guangyan, and Burning Heart Bahuo immediately became interested, and they all gathered around and asked, "What kind of spiritual fire is it? Tell me quickly." .”
"Everyone, everyone, can you stay away from me?" As soon as the other party approached me, the blood-striped wild lion was already sweating profusely. It smiled bitterly and said: "Otherwise, I will be roasted by you. "
"Hey, look at how cowardly you are, you can't stand being roasted even a little bit?"
Burning Heart Ba Huo's words were teasing, but he still stepped back a few feet with his spirit fire companions. The blood-striped wild lion then stuck out his tongue and breathed out and continued: "It is said that the body of spirit fire existed many years ago a thousand years ago. It’s famous, it’s called ‘Scorching Sun Emperor Yan’, have you heard of its name?”
"Is it Sun Emperor Yan?!"
"It's actually it!"
"It's really unexpected!"
Hearing the words of the blood-striped wild lion, all the spirit fires were really surprised. Qinghuang next to him asked: "Why, do you all know the name of Jiaoyang Emperor Yan?"
"Of course, that is Huang Yan." Burning Heart Bahuo said: "In this ruins, anyone with the word 'Emperor' in their name is an elder of the spirit fire who was born almost at the same time as the ruins, and their strength is also that of the flames." The crown of the world cannot be compared to the likes of us.”
"Oh, it seems that you all admire and admire this Sun Emperor Yan very much?"
"More than just admiration, as far as we know, there are only three spiritual fire bodies in the ruins who dare to call themselves Huang Yan, and Boss Jiaoyang is one of them."
"Are they the three great emperors?"
"Yes, they are Jiao Yang Huang Yan, Gu Yan Huang Yan and Ying Huo Huang Yan."
When these three names were mentioned, many spirit fires were filled with admiration and admiration. They spoke softly, not daring to speak too loudly and guarding against the slightest hint of blasphemy. "Listening to what you said so seriously, I would like to find a chance to meet the three of them."
After hearing this, Guan Heng's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Alas, what a pity..." At this time, Burning Heart Bahuo sighed, and then continued: "I'm afraid there is no chance of Master Guan's wish coming true."
