The two of them each activated a fire-avoiding talisman, and flicked the clear light away, as if pushing away the spreading flames. But just as they took a breath, the flames suddenly burst out and enveloped them in an instant.
"How come you guys have benefited from Jia Rui and haven't figured out the weirdness of his spiritual fire."
Zhao Ning stood with a whip in hand. The fire-avoiding talisman in her hand was exhausted and turned into spiritual light floating around her body, forming a final protective light shield.
"Speaking of which, I have to admire. Senior Brother Jia's ability to control fire is rare in the world. This fire cannot be isolated by ordinary fire-avoiding talismans. Only his top-notch production method can do so."
"Ah!!!" someone screamed in the flames.
Others shouted, "Don't use your spiritual power to resist, this fire can burn your spiritual power!"
Cultivators who have gone through physical training are immune to cold and heat, and are not afraid of cold or heat. However, there are limits to what they can withstand. The skin of the disciple named Lin who was initially burned by the flames was already scorched black. He collapsed on the ground and twitched constantly, and the flames burned the storage bag. The messy stuff in the storage bag burst out and was immediately set on fire.
The hand covered in flames slammed on the blank secret slip. The secret slip suddenly lit up, and a clear light passed by, extinguishing the flames on the disciple surnamed Lin in an instant.
The other two disciples struggled to resist with their robes and bodies. Their skin was already red and hot, and they were about to reach their limit. When they saw this, they had to slap away the blank secret slip.
In a flash of clear light, the flame was completely extinguished.
Zhao Ning was not surprised, and there was even a faint smile on her lips.
"Senior brothers, the reaction is still a little slow. However, we can talk properly now, can't we?"
The three of them were paralyzed on the ground. The disciple surnamed Lin could no longer move. His skin was no longer intact, but his consciousness was still clear. There was only a trace of spiritual power left, which was not even enough to calm the pain of burns all over his body.
The other two were in slightly better condition, but their spiritual energy was almost exhausted. They tried to adjust their breaths to recover, but the pain all over their bodies made it difficult for them to meditate.
"Shen-Zhao-Ning!!!"
They roared angrily.
Zhao Ning looked at them, "You can hang under the inner sect, either because you have made great contributions to the sect, or you are direct blood relatives of the sect elders. Zhao Ning doesn't understand what benefits Jia Rui has given you, so that you can catch up with Xiao Bi." Harm me in the secret realm."
Perhaps because they were unconvinced or because they were delaying the recovery of spiritual energy, several people turned their faces and ignored Zhao Ning's question.
Zhao Ning spoke kindly and squatted next to the disciple surnamed Lin. The burnt smell on his body made people shy away.
"Senior Brother Lin, how about a deal? Give me the answer I want, and I'll restore your appearance to your original appearance. How about that?"
On his face as black as coal, his two eyes suddenly looked terrifying. He stared at Zhao Ning, "How can I trust you? You are a medical practitioner?"
Zhao Ning smiled lightly, stretched out her hand, and pressed her palm on his body. The spiritual power spread lightly on his body, and the burn wound began to scab at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the next moment, Zhao Ning withdrew his hand, lost his spiritual power to repair, and the pain hit him again. The disciple surnamed Lin gritted his teeth, he pressed against the ground, his eyes rolled to the two people behind him, his eyelids closed with difficulty, and then He picked up, "Because our ancestor has expired and does not have the strength in his bloodline to take over the position of elder, he will be kicked out of the inner sect soon."
"Senior Brother Jia is the proud son of the Emperor. From now on, we will have Master Yuanying Master, and with Senior Brother Jia's protection, we should not be afraid of the future."
"Compared to Senior Brother Jia, you are nothing!" Unexpectedly, his words suddenly became sharp. Following his tone, the two people behind him suddenly burst into flames. Several top-grade Explosive Flame Talisman exploded again, and the fire light rushed out again. Xiang Zhaoning.
This group of guys wanted to use their answer to make Zhao Ning relax his vigilance and seize the opportunity to make a sneak attack and counterattack.
Unexpectedly, what was knocked down by the fire was indeed an afterimage, and countless whip shadows were waving in the air. When the two saw this, their expressions condensed, and they turned over their hands and grabbed a top-quality Huiyuan Pill and stuffed it into their mouths.
But the whip shadows all over the sky suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, and they suddenly strangled their necks.
Da Da—Two top-quality Yuan Yuan Pills rolled on the ground.
Zhao Ning appeared in front of them at some point, and put his finger between their eyebrows. Their bodies were stiff and unable to move, and they felt as if all the blood in their bodies was rushing towards their eyebrows.
The blood mark appeared on the fingertips and slowly rotated. A drop of blood essence was forcibly extracted from the body and injected into the blood mark. With a flick of the finger, the blood mark jumped into their sea of consciousness.
With this bounce, their bodies took a few steps back until they hit the wall and fell limply to the ground.
Their eyes were confused, and there seemed to be a shackle firmly attached to their souls.
"Shen Zhaoning! What did you do to them?!" the disciple surnamed Lin shouted, threatening with fear and shock, "If you dare to kill us, just wait to be punished by the sect!"
Zhao Ning turned her head and glanced down. This posture gave her a superior and indifferent look.
She held her palm, and the inner disciple identity token scattered nearby appeared in her hand. The name of the disciple surnamed Lin and Cong Feng were written on the token.
"Lingxiao Peak, Lin Ke."
Fortunately, it was the Inner Disciple Order made by the sect. Even when burned by Jia Rui's weird spiritual fire, it only turned slightly yellow.
"Why should I kill you, Senior Brother Lin? Since you can think of putting my soul in a scorched corpse, and life would be worse than death, why can't I make your soul a slave, and you will never be reincarnated without my order?"
"You...you..." Lin Ke's bulging eyes seemed to explode, and in a hoarse and frightened voice, he yelled, "Evil cultivator!"
Zhao Ning did not refute Lin Ke, she just thought it was ridiculous. If she was an evil cultivator, what were the methods they thought of?
Putting his fingers together, he turned slightly, and the blood slave mark was fixed on his eyebrows. He forcibly drew out a drop of blood, merged with the blood mark, and penetrated into his soul.
Inside the cave, there was suddenly no sound.
Zhao Ninghuan looked at the cave and used a Qingchen Jue to destroy all traces of the fire.
After lowering his head, the spiritual power penetrated into Lin Ke's body. The burn wound scabbed, regenerated, and fell off, and the whole person returned to its original state.
He sat up in confusion, his body was so burned that only the cloth was left, and he was extremely embarrassed. He looked at the shivering junior brothers behind him, and took the lead to kneel down and lower his body.
The three of them shouted in a low voice, "Master."
"This Blood Slave Seal only has one layer. The bondage is not so clear between master and servant. Senior brothers don't have to pretend to be like this."
There are Jindan Masters, Yuanying Masters, and even hidden sages in the sect. To prevent them from being noticed by these great powers, Zhao Ning did not forcibly enslave their souls, but used the Blood Slave Seal as a medium to engrave them. A contract cannot be betrayed, resisted, or broken by force.
Lin Ke stood up with the help of his two junior brothers. Perhaps Zhao Ning had repaired his burns, or perhaps he was impressed by the contract. He looked at Zhao Ning without much hatred or humiliation.
All he asked was, “What do you want us to do?”
"It's very simple. Get close to Jia Rui. Find out where his ability comes from. Is it an adventure, inheritance, or..." Zhao Ning frowned slightly, "He is the reincarnation of Master Haoyang thousands of years ago."
This sentence shocked the three of them. The three of them exchanged looks with complex and changeable expressions, and finally returned to calm.
"The Master will return to the sect in a while, and he will definitely take care of Jia Rui. We may not be able to find anything, and if the Master discovers the contract..."
He stared at Zhao Ning. Of course, he would not think that the Master would help them unlock the contract. Instead, he would be afraid that the Master would suspect them of leaking the sect's secrets and kill them directly.
"That's what these senior brothers are capable of." Zhao Ning looked at them with a smile, and the smile turned cold in his eyes, "Guess, by then, will the Master find me from your memories first, or will the contract kill me first? Got you?"
The three people were shocked and clenched their fists with their hands, but they could only lower their heads and surrender.
The expression on Zhao Ning's face faded, and she returned to her usual calm look. She only glanced at them, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the passage.
The three of them hurriedly followed and unlocked the sealing formation just before Zhao Ning was about to touch it.
Zhao Ning stepped out of the passage in one step. There was no one on the other three sides of the cave. She suddenly turned around and asked, "Jia Rui only sent you to the secret realm to block me?"
The three of them paused, and then Lin Ke said, "Senior Brother Jia only had contact with us when Si Guo Ya. But a few days ago, Senior Brother Jia had perfected his qi training and was pardoned from Si Guo Ya. We don't know if he has any other arrangements. .”
Zhao Ning was thoughtful and only nodded slightly.
Lin Ke couldn't help but remind him, "Please be careful." If something happened to Zhao Ning and this contract was involved, they would be dead or injured.
Zhao Ning didn't respond and flew to another passage.
Yun Jinfan was no longer in the passage on the other side. As soon as Zhao Ning came out, he saw tangled footprints on the ground. The footprints came out of the passage Yun Jinfan explored, turned twice at the four forks, hesitated for a while, and then went to the depths of the passage. .
Only Yun Jinfan, who was used to walking and not used to riding the wind, could have such obvious footprints.
Without Yun Jinfan's delay and secret prying, Zhao Ning was flying fast in the secret realm of Ten Thousand Cave. Occasionally encountering several underground monsters, Zhao Ning did not accept the challenge and directly used the first form of the Xunfeng Qingyu Spirit Book to avoid them. .
After wandering around in countless twists and turns of caves for about an hour, Zhao Ning suddenly heard a noise coming from a fork in the road not far away.
"What disgusting things are these! Get away!"
"Ahhh, I can't stand it anymore. I should have waited if I had known I shouldn't have listened to you."
"Oh my god! Why so many bats!"
A figure jumped out from the fork in the road, followed by a swarm of bats.
Yun Jinfan collapsed and ran with his head in his hands. He looked up and saw Tingting's figure not far away.
Immediately overjoyed, "Zhao Ning, hurry up, help me!"
But Zhao Ning stood there without moving, his eyes were clear and cold, just looking at her, letting her be surrounded by the bats.
Chapter 105
Zhao Ning closed his eyes and opened them again. He raised his hand, and the spiritual light flowed in his hand, and a spell was cast.
Countless vines climbed along the rock wall and arrived near Yun Jinfan in an instant. The vines were like hunting snakes, wrapping around the bats that besieged Yun Jinfan.
All the bats were hanged and fell to the ground. Yun Jinfan, who was holding his head, looked around slowly, looking at the ugly mutated bat on the ground. He jumped up like a jump, quickly ran towards Zhao Ning, and hid behind her. , in shock.
"I was scared to death." She patted her chest, "I thought you didn't see me."
Then he suddenly remembered that he left without telling me, and he felt guilty. He opened his mouth to explain something, but he caught the movement deep in the corner of his eye.
In the fluorescence, more mutated bats flew over, overwhelming the sky.
"Quick, hurry up! Zhao Ning! Here we go again!"
His hand flew, and the wooden shield seal spun out, blocking the mutated bat's onslaught in front of him.
The mutated bat's fangs were clasped on the seal, and the aura stars exploded.
At this moment, two spiritual swords flew from behind, passed over the wooden shield, and chopped down all the gathered bat demons.
"Senior Sister Ming! Great, we are saved!"
Zhao Ning tilted her head slightly, and Min Luo and Chen Tan, who were three feet away, were using their sword skills to help.
"Junior sister Shen, restrain these beasts and let us kill them."
Zhao Ning nodded, turned his hand, and swung out the black brocade whip with the other hand, and the shadow of the whip instantly filled the entire passage.
Yun Jinfan subconsciously ran back, but after taking a few steps, he stopped in place, turned around with a sad face, and a thin sword appeared in his hand.
Zhao Ning's figure seemed to disappear among the whip shadows and the group of bats. The airflow from the whip shadows rolled around each bat, and the bats were entangled in place.
"Now!" Chen Tian shouted.
The two spiritual swords buzzed immediately, the sword light bloomed, and the bat blood was sprinkled with a disgusting stench.
A bat demon that luckily escaped from the whip shadow sword light flew towards Minluo and the others with its claws and fangs bared.
Mingluo and Chen Tanzheng were concentrating on using their sword techniques and were unable to immediately withdraw to resist. Moreover, once they withdrew their swords, all the pressure would be on Zhao Ning's side.
Mingluo frowned and shouted, "Junior Sister Yun, what are you still stunned for? Kill that beast quickly."
