In the diffuse mist and flashing thunder, figures were looking forward one after another. They didn't dare to get too close to each other for fear of attracting lightning strikes, and they didn't dare to get too far apart to avoid getting lost and separated along the way.
The two elders, E'an and Ying Ling, were exploring the way ahead, and the disciples followed behind. All twelve disciples of Tianqi Hall are here, but Tiansha Hall only has ten disciples left because of the absence of Ke Zhao and Kuang Ning. Lai Mian still followed Yu Ye, five or six feet away, not far nor close, but within reach.
It is said that the place where Ping Yangzi was trapped was the Thunder Pond, hundreds of miles away. The so-called thunder pool should be a place where thunder falls intensively. As for the exact situation, we can only find out by visiting the actual place in person.
"Brother Yu!"
"Brother Zhan?"
Zhan Kun walked around a strange rock, looked around, looked at the mist above his head, then glanced back and continued walking forward, saying through a message: "You and I traveled to three places, either historical sites or ruins, secret realms, illusions, and The whereabouts of the artifact are irrelevant, but all parties are mobilizing troops, so why is this so?"
The three places he mentioned were Sifang City, Shenglong Ridge and Luo Lei Valley.
Yu Ye followed him unhurriedly and said: "Brother, I am also puzzled by this. After the disciples of Tianji Sect stole the artifact, they should have escaped from Yanzhou in time, but they were going around in circles. It is really contrary to Common sense!”
"Such a simple truth, can't the few experts in transforming the gods not see it?"
"Humph, all the masters of transforming gods are as smart as old ghosts. They are either pretending to be confused, or they do it on purpose!"
"Intentional...?"
When Zhan Kun said this, he paused, thought for a moment, and then asked -
"Why did Chili leave?"
Yu Ye curled his lips and said——
"God knows!"
"And he has always been obsessed with you. He chased you from Sifang City to Shenglong Ridge, and from Panlong Village to Siming Town. Now Luo Lei Valley is right in front of you. If there is no major change, he will never easily Leave!"
"Brother Zhan is saying..."
"I can't explain it clearly, but it always feels weird."
"Well, the six immortal sects have clearly made an alliance, but they are still fighting openly and secretly. The so-called search for artifacts is not a false pretense, right...?"
"If it is a pretense to deceive people, who are the six immortal sects deceiving?"
Zhan Kun was entangled, then shook his head and gave up, saying: "You and I have no way of knowing about the chaos in the Immortal Sect in Yanzhou, and we are unable to intervene. Brother Yu, you and I should think of a way out!"
A way out?
Yu Ye's brows furrowed slightly and he remained silent.
After many reckless experiences and many lives and deaths, he became cautious and prudent. He liked to have a backup plan in everything and always leave a way out when moving forward. For example, Beiqi Mountain in Daze, Sanshang Peak in Qizhou, Tianqiao Peak and Feiyun Peak in Yanzhou were all retreats he left for himself or his friends.
And he suddenly realized that as he walked farther and farther, his escape routes became narrower and narrower. Maybe one day, there will be no retreat behind him...
Two hours later.
E'an led his disciples to find a cave.
But in the cave, the rumbling thunder is even duller, like countless animal skin drums beating, and even the rocks vibrate, making it difficult for people to enter meditation or breathe, so they can only rest and catch their breath. .
Yu Ye sat on the ground, his butt shaking. And everyone was trembling, and had to endure the shaking of the earth and mountains. Zhan Kun next to him was sighing helplessly, and he responded with a wry smile, taking the opportunity to reach out and touch the rocks under him, with a thoughtful look on his face.
He was no stranger to the power of thunder and fire.
When he formed the elixir, he first experienced the pain of physical demon liberation, and then was tempered by thunder and fire, and had a personal experience of the power of thunder and fire.
Not only are the mountains and gravel here filled with the power of thunder and fire, but the underground is also filled with strange energy. It must have been thousands of years of thunder and lightning bombardment, and the thunder power that could not be leaked continued to gather and accumulate, eventually turning the Thunder Valley into a forbidden land of thunder and fire and magical powers.
In other words, the escape method is useless, the sword is not dared to fly high, and the light body technique is also in danger of being struck by thunder. If you leave the Thunder Valley, you can only return the same way.
"Qingluo, do you think if I get hit by a few thunders, will it be considered as a tribulation?"
Since it is difficult to sit still and fall into concentration, it is better to talk with Qingluo.
"You don't want to live anymore!"
After a while, familiar words came from the sea of consciousness.
"how do I say this?"
"Although the thunder is caused by the movement of Qi, it lacks the power of the Five Elements and the laws of heaven. It is difficult to compare with the thunder disaster, and may be more violent and violent. With your current cultivation level, you simply cannot bear it. I advise you not to do it yourself. Asking for trouble!"
"Well, what are the laws of heaven?"
"The way of heaven, the way of emperors, and the way of saints each have their own rules and laws."
"Besides the way of heaven, is there also the way of emperors and saints?"
"It is said in the classics that if the emperor's way runs smoothly, the world will return; if the holy way runs smoothly, the sea will obey. If you can clearly observe all things, you can know the way of heaven. In troubled times, there should be a sage who will use rules as laws and moments as principles to order the heaven and earth, the longitude and latitude of the stars. .”
"Saint? How is it different from a god..."
"Hey, I'm not a saint or sage, so I don't know much about it. There are countless things about the way of heaven in the classics. Instead of asking like this, why don't you look it up and understand it yourself?"
"Uh-huh……"
"What have you been thinking about all day?"
"Uh-huh……"
"I only know the conspiracy, it's important to have a baby as soon as possible!"
"Uh-huh……"
After accidentally being scolded again, Yu Ye suddenly stopped.
And he didn't take Qingluo's discipline to heart, and his questions about the laws of heaven and saints were just out of temporary curiosity. What he cares about is still conspiracy and calculation. Before he becomes strong enough, he has to survive, he has to live...
Half an hour later, E'an finally couldn't bear the shaking in the cave, so he led everyone back into the mist and continued to search for the thunder.
After walking for about thirty to fifty miles, the thunder intensified and the light flickered ahead.
Where the light shone, there was a canyon, about ten feet wide, with unknown depth. The cliffs on both sides were towering, and ear-splitting thunder roared from it.
Yu Ye followed the others and stopped to watch.
The entire canyon was shrouded in thunder and fire. Thunder fires as thick as an arm came one after another, pouring down in rapid succession. Then the wind blew, the fog was messy, and the powerful thunder was frightening.
Is this the thunder pool?
If Ping Yangzi and others were caught in it, their lives would be lost, and even Gui Yuanzi would not be able to escape.
"If you want to reach the Thunder Pond, you must cross the Heavenly Pass."
But he heard E'an raise his voice to signal, and said: "This is the Thunder Fire Heaven Pass, watch my move——"
He lifted his feet and walked forward.
Everyone was still looking at each other, stunned.
Yu Ye, Zhan Kun, Wen Gui, Cheng Shi, and Lai Mian did not dare to be rash, and just silently watched E'an's every move.
This place is not a thunder pool, but it is like a fire purgatory. If it were a real thunder pool, wouldn't it be even more terrifying? And how can a flesh-and-blood body cross this thunder and fire barrier?
E'an walked to a foot away from the canyon and stood slowly, activating his magic power to protect his body. After a moment, the crazy thunder and fire suddenly disappeared, but the power of the thunder and fire continued to rage. He took the opportunity to dodge and rush into the canyon. At the same time, the thunder and fire that had paused for a moment broke out again...
An old man walked towards the canyon and raised his voice: "Elder E has taken the lead to set an example. All disciples, follow me through the Tianguan Pass!"
It's Elder Yingling.
Everyone no longer hesitated and walked forward one after another.
Wen Gui shook his head at Yu Ye, Zhan Kun, and Cheng Shi, and breathed a sigh of relief in disbelief.
The Thunder Fire Sky Pass looks scary, but the dense thunderstorms actually have short intervals. As long as you seize the right opportunity, you can cross the canyon.
A moment later, Yu Ye, Wen Gui, Zhan Kun, Cheng Shi, and Lai Mian stood ten feet away from the canyon. The roaring thunder was deafening, and the blazing light made it difficult to open one's eyes. In the blink of an eye, Lei Wei was still there, but the thunder and fire had stopped, and the five people rushed into the canyon.
But just as they rushed into the canyon, thunder and fire came again.
Yu Ye was startled and turned into a wisp of wind shadow. Thunder and fire fell behind him, and he ran as fast as he could regardless. When the "boom, boom" explosion suddenly disappeared from his ears, he realized that he had rushed out of the canyon. Before he could stop his attack, he fell to the ground and rolled in a hurry. Then there was a "bang" sound, and a bolt of thunder and fire passed by.
At the same time, Wen Gui, Zhan Kun, Cheng Shi, and Lai Mian appeared one after another, but they were also running around, unable to evade.
"Boom, boom, boom——"
After a burst of rapid thunder, the surrounding area became slightly quiet.
Yu Ye was still sitting on the ground.
A few dozen feet away was the canyon where they came from. The roaring thunder and fire were still the same, but the movement had weakened a bit.
Above the head, patches of gray-black mist floated. Just now, we hit the fog, which triggered the lightning strike. Fortunately, we avoided it in time.
The figures walking forward were the two elders and many of their fellow disciples, all walking slowly and acting cautiously.
Looking across the crowd, there is a strange stone hill protruding thousands of feet away?
The stone mound was purple-black, more than three feet high, and one to two hundred feet in diameter. It was more like a huge stone platform, sitting quietly under the dark mist.
Yu Ye climbed up.
He, Wen Gui, Zhan Kun, and Cheng Shi exchanged confused glances, and then walked forward.
Lai Mian stood there, no one knew what he was doing.
As we got closer, the huge stone platform was still unusually silent.
Is that a real thunder pool?
Going a thousand feet further, we are surrounded by high mountains and cliffs. This is a closed valley, and Leihuo Tianguan is the only way out.
In a moment, E'an and Ying Ling had arrived at the stone platform, and walked up the stone slope step by step, even more cautiously.
Yu Ye followed and stepped onto the stone slope.
When he walked up the rocky slope, his eyes widened at the same time as Wen Gui, Zhan Kun, and Cheng Shi.
I saw groups of monks sitting on the broad stone platform, separated by several feet, ten feet, or tens of feet. They were obviously confronting each other, but they were motionless and the situation was strange. The eight or nine monks guarding the stone platform were none other than the Tianji Sect disciples headed by Ping Yangzi. The dozens of people scattered around were obviously masters of other immortal sects.
Haven’t seen Gui Yuanzi?
"Brother Ping——"
"Senior Brother Ping——"
E'an and Ying Ling expressed their greetings.
Pingyangzi waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Elder E, Elder Ying, thank you both for coming to help. The Lei Chi is dangerous, so don't be careless——"
The two elders were still standing on the stone slope, not daring to take even half a step onto the stone platform. They looked at the disciples on the left and right and warned: "It's a matter of life and death, so be careful!"
Yu Ye and Zhan Kun next to him exchanged surprised looks.
This is indeed a thunder pond, but there is no thunder and fire, and it is so quiet. Where does the so-called danger come from? If there was no danger, why would Pingyangzi and the other monks be trapped in place...
