In the quiet Jiayun Valley, the clouds and mist kept rolling along with the heat waves, as if they were boiling. Kuang Jie and his disciples, who continued to advance deeper, soon became sweaty and their lips began to get dry.
Kuang Jie has been carefully sensing the changes in his body, and found that apart from the intense heat caused by the excessive temperature, there seemed to be no invasion of the power of soul.
"Leng Yun." Kuang Jie called.
"Yes." A disciple responded, then stretched his arms and used a superpower. A thin mist of water spread as he stretched his arms and filled the entire team, making everyone feel refreshed. The scorching heat brought by the fire pillar in Jiayun Valley immediately dissipated, and everyone became much more energetic.
"Continue." Kuang Jie reminded the disciples not to relax just because of this comfort, and the team continued to move forward. The cold mist cast by disciple Leng Yun finally effectively reduced the high temperature. From this point of view, the fire pillar did not seem to be very scary. "Cold Mist" is just a second-level ability that lowers the air temperature. It is not a powerful method at all.
Kuang Jie was meditating all the way, but in the fog ahead, he could vaguely see a fiery red streak rushing into the sky. The disciples looked at each other, became more cautious, and continued to approach.
"It won't work." Leng Yun said at this time, but his cold mist finally couldn't resist the high temperature brought by the fire pillar. The place was much closer to the fire pillar.
"Lian Lizhi, Water Flower, and Vision." Kuang Jie issued instructions one after another, but they were the names of three powers. Immediately, the three disciples responded and stepped out of the queue, each using their special abilities. The branches are a means of defense, the aquatic flowers take over from the cold mist to counteract the high temperature of the flames, and the discernment is to start studying what this pillar of fire is all about.
As for Kuang Jie himself, his perception, which he had never used before, now doubled down on his soul power and became even sharper. But there was still no trace of human beings around.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The twenty-one people moved forward more and more cautiously, and finally, the front suddenly became clear. The pillar of fire spiraling upward pushed the fog around it for tens of meters. A rare clear area of sight unobstructed by fog appeared in Jiayun Valley, and the pillar of fire was finally fully and clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes.
"How?" Kuang Jie asked the disciple who was using his discernment.
"It's custom-made." The disciple observed the flow and changes of the soul power in the fire pillar and made a preliminary judgment. He only briefly glanced at the pillar of fire above, and then his eyes began to move downward. Soon it fell to the foundation where the pillar of fire connected with the ground. It's just that the six soul powers here are mixed alternately, but it's not something he can distinguish clearly with just one or two glances.
So he put the thumbs of both hands on his left and right temples, pressed them slightly hard, and after brewing for a long time, he suddenly let out a sharp shout. The light that was already covered in his eyes became very dazzling at this moment, as if two rays of light shot straight out of his eyes and swept towards the bottom of the pillar of fire.
boom!
The fire pillar seemed to feel that it was being spied on, and it suddenly twisted. The originally thick fire pillar twisted into nine branches in an instant, like a poisonous snake, and rushed towards the group of twenty-one people without hesitation.
This is!
Kuang Jie thought and looked at the ground under his feet. The meandering flame veins suddenly spread behind them.
"It's the Nine Dragons Fire Seal! Retreat!" Kuang Guang finally recognized this customized power. He called out his name and quickly signaled his disciples to retreat.
His disciples had also heard the name of this superpower, and they knew immediately that something was wrong, but when they tried to step back, it was already too late. The fire dragon not only twisted out of the pillar of fire, but also came out from behind them and from the ground around them. Fire dragons emerged one after another, nine in a group. Reflect each other.
"Subpoena!" Kuang Jie didn't care to speak too much or in detail.
The pillar of fire turned out to be the Nine Dragon Fire Seal, not the large-scale customization of the prairie fire as it seemed at first. The difference was huge. The Kowloon fire seal was undoubtedly aimed at delaying the siege. Where the thirty-two pillars of fire are located. The Beidoumen who came to investigate will be surrounded. This ability does not have active killing power, all it has is an absolutely impenetrable flame barrier. This is obviously to divide and delay the strength of Beidou Academy.
With the current situation, it seems that Kuang Jie and the other 21 people are trapped in a cage of fire and unable to escape. If the situation discovered can be revealed, then the college will naturally respond.
It's just the message that contains the power of soul. However, the moment it passed through the air, it was caught up by nine fire dragons and was evaporated in an instant. Countless fire dragons quickly connected with each other in the air. Kuang Guang and the other 21 people scattered and tried to retreat, but in the end, no one could escape the siege of the fire dragon in time.
"Slash!" A young disciple was unwilling to give in. He waved his sharp sword and slashed at the fire dragon in front of him. The power of soul surrounded the sword. In this blow, he used all his strength. .
"Stop!" Kuang Jie quickly stopped him but it was already too late. As soon as the disciple's sharp sword struck the fire dragon, the power of soul surrounding the sword was immediately evaporated, and nine fire dragons quickly snaked up the sword.
"Abandon the sword!" Kuang Jie shouted wildly as he rushed over, but the disciple had been stunned for a long time. When he heard the teacher shout again, he came to his senses. When he hurriedly dropped the sword, half of the sword had evaporated in the air. In the middle, nine fire dragons have already snaked up his arms.
"Ah!" The young disciple screamed in pain, but a cold light fell at this moment, and his arm was instantly separated from his body. The person was pulled away, and his arms were devoured by the fire dragon before they even hit the ground.
"No one is allowed to come forward." Kuang Jie, who pulled back the young disciple's broken arm in time, said in a deep voice, "We can't break the Kowloon Fire Seal."
Several disciples were also preparing to use their methods, but they were a little slower than this energetic young disciple. Seeing his horrific end at this time, his face turned pale. The steps towards the fire dragon stopped hurriedly, and they all stepped back.
"The Kowloon Fire Seal, if we don't touch it, it won't do anything to us." Kuang Jie said, which made all the disciples feel a little more stable.
"If we can't get out, no matter what happens in the academy, we can only sit back and watch." Kuang Jie's eyes stayed in the air - the place where the message sent was blocked by the Kowloon Fire Seal.
"Then how long will this Nine Dragons Fire Seal last?" A disciple asked.
"I don't know." Kuang Jie shook his head, "It depends on the ability and means of the person who made the customization."
"Now we can only wait." Kuang Jie said, sitting on the ground.
He still looked very calm, and the disciples' emotions were calmed down because of him. But his heart was far from as calm as he showed.
Wait, maybe this is what the enemy wants them to do. While they wait, what will happen to Beidou Academy?
If something terrible happens to the college during this time, will there be any eggs under the nest? Even if they escape from the Kowloon Fire Seal by then, they may not be able to do much. This is probably what the enemy planned.
At the moment, I just hope that the academy will quickly detect the trap hidden by these thirty-two fire dragons.
However, judging from the process of his team being trapped, this Nine Dragons Fire Seal was really well disguised. The moment you see through it, you have triggered it. Who can escape from a triggered situation? Kuang Jie thought about it and couldn't be optimistic. What worried him even more was that if the thirty-two teams that went to investigate the Pillar of Fire were trapped and lost contact, the college would definitely send people to investigate again. If this happens over and over again, wouldn't it mean that they would get deeper and deeper into trouble?
This must never happen... Kuang Guang thought anxiously, only regretting that he couldn't send out his thoughts at this time.
Tianji Peak.
When the thirty-two pillars of fire rise, they can naturally be seen from this side. The elites of the three major colleges who are taking action also know what this means.
The Seven-Star Trial is a consumption of strength conducted by Beidou Academy on its own.
The thirty-two fire pillars are a further differentiation and weakening of their strength.
At this point, the action is in full swing.
"How's it going?" Mu Hong asked, her voice unmistakably anxious.
Beidou Academy was simply caught off guard by them and was a bit headless. But without the backup force they introduced in this step, regardless of the consumption of the Seven Stars Trial or the differentiation and weakening of the thirty-two fire pillars, it would not be enough to make Beidou Academy fatal. When they come to their senses, it will not be difficult to destroy these saboteurs.
Success or failure, right now, depends on whether the door of Lucundang's treasury can be opened.
"It went very well." The Queyue disciple who was busy posted on the vault door finally gave Mu Hong some exciting news.
Just the next second, the expression of this Que Yue disciple suddenly changed.
"What's going on? What is this? Where does all this power come from?"
