Brushing the hair beside his ears, he took in everything that happened after the explosion.
He also saw the rumored "Black Rain Swordsman", and both Jue and Tongjun were seriously injured. Needless to say, he knew it was him.
From this point of view, this Black Rain swordsman is indeed as powerful as the rumors, and he has already succeeded.
Compared to the noise outside the tent, the place where he entered was even quieter. Therefore, he can calm down, not be affected by external forces, and think carefully.
In front of you is the darkness as long as the ground, and what you smell on the tip of your nose is the aroma of wooden beams. Xi Zishi completely emptied himself and concentrated all his energy on the problem in front of him.
Although he still had doubts, he could feel that there seemed to be some... weird mystery in it.
For example, the Black Rain Swordsman himself.
Xi Zishi realized that the source of his problem seemed to be the sudden appearance of the Black Rain Swordsman.
It's not that he is fictional, it's just that what he did is very strange when people think about it.
The Black Rain swordsman's whereabouts are unpredictable. He only showed his traces tonight, and he succeeded as soon as he made a move. So why did such a humble and impeccable expert become known to everyone a few days ago?
He was so cautious in his movements and had excellent martial arts skills. He could have killed Subiezhi and the two of them easily, but he didn't do it. When he left, he set off a fire with great fanfare. What was the reason?
There seemed to be some strange contradictions in his behavior.
Although all this can be attributed to his arrogant personality, or the idea of using it to intimidate and build a reputation, the second explanation can also be given.
That is, all of this is a carefully planned rescue situation.
The collapse of Qiongtian Palace was just a massive and painful plot. They used this to get rid of the siege of Jiuche Xiaoying and bring panic to the enemy.
The sound of collapsing beams outside interrupted his thoughts.
But that's enough.
Xi Zishi took a look at the situation outside, and the fire waves gradually came towards this side. Seeing that there was no one around outside, he gently opened the curtain and jumped off the beam.
The cold floor tiles gave him a clear touch. The red flames behind him were already shining brightly on the surface of the floor tiles.
He stood up slowly. Looking at the dancing shadow on the ground, he made up his mind.
Although he didn't know exactly what the situation was, he always wanted to go in and find out.
After all, in the second case, their actions would potentially send another clear signal.
That is... the Heart Lake Meteor Iron has indeed been hidden in Qiongtian Palace.
Among the three religions on the front line, Jue Tongjun's cautious character will never take risks. And now it was even more certain, so he had to go in and look for it now.
Now is the moment when Qiongtian Temple's defense is at its weakest, and this opportunity is once in a lifetime. Xi Zishi clenched his fists and faced the high wall of blazing flames. He walked towards it step by step calmly.
Inside the Qiongtian Palace, blinding smoke and dust billowed, and at your feet were scattered bricks and tiles and collapsed beams and columns. The true energy of Xizishi protects the body, and the fire will not hurt it, and it will penetrate deeper step by step.
He had indeed never been to Qiongtian Temple before, but now that he was exploring, he realized that it was quite large, beyond his expectation.
He was cautious and completely unpredictable in the enemy camp. Now he was alone. No matter what the situation was, it was very dangerous.
The corridor folded, and what was swallowed up by the tongues of fire was only half the size of the Qiongtian Palace.
Xi Zishi thought, in order to offset the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart. He shuttled through the ruins of fire and scorched earth. Even with the protection of his true energy, his body was already scorched black and his throat hurt.
Be quick, he has to be quick. Xi Zishi kept repeating this warning to himself, keeping his steps steady and his sharp eyes shining like a goshawk, like gems.
His footsteps gradually took a circuitous path, and then he turned around a blazing fire, and then he realized that he seemed to be walking in a circle.
The long-term consumption caused him to shed beads of sweat, which were evaporated by the high temperature around him at any time.
To be cautious, he immediately stopped, covered his chest with one hand, and took a few sharp breaths.
The palms of his hands supporting the wall were covered with dust, and the skin of the wall that had been peeled off by the smoke was also stuck in his sweaty palms. Xi Zishi shook with disgust and looked back at the ruins engulfed by flames. The scorching red light made his face burn.
The internal layout of Qiongtian Temple is probably based on a certain formation. He suddenly thought.
But...his heart immediately sank again. It was impossible to say that he had no time to understand the formation now. With the mess in front of him, he had no way to make any inferences.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Xi Zishi scratched his hair anxiously and sighed heavily in depression.
At this moment, he suddenly heard voices coming from not far away.
"...There seems to be a sound here..."
Then, he heard two footsteps coming together. With no other choice, he saw a half-torn curtain beside him and hurriedly withdrew and hid inside.
Sure enough, two sweaty guards came over.
Xi Zishi carefully peeked out through the translucent sight of the curtain.
One of them was walking in front. He probably heard Zishi sighing just now and came here to take a look.
"Hey, weird..."
When he saw no one, he scratched his cheek, feeling a little confused.
There was also a guard following him. Seeing this situation, he patted his shoulder nonchalantly: "I said you heard wrong. Let's go quickly. Your Excellency asked us to check the condition of the load-bearing pillars in the apse as soon as he woke up. Don’t delay.”
