Fire Hidden Secret Realm!
Qin Li stepped into the air and sped along.
Surrounded by picturesque green hills and mountains, with flowers clustered and gathered low, blue sky and white clouds raised, springs tinkling in the mountains and forests, and blue water rippling in the lakes.
The climate here was warm, with four seasons like spring, the spiritual qi was rich, the flowers and fruits were endless, and it also harboured many high grade medicinal herbs, it was definitely a treasure land.
“Sixth grade Jiao’e flower, this is one of the main ingredients of the Life Renewal Green Pill.”Surprised in his heart, Qin Li stopped and took out his jade shovel and jade box, about to excavate the precious medicine.
Newt-
A sharp bird chirp sounded.
A blinding red light rushed out from a short distance away, directly attacking Qin Li.
It turned out to be a Blazing Flame Bird, its body as red as blood, its long beak like a sword, comparable to a fifth-grade weapon blade, also carrying blazing fire, suddenly sneaking in to pierce through Qin Li’s brain.
“Scram!”
Qin Li snorted coldly, his tongue blossoming with spring thunder.
The might of an Immortal King was on display, the pressure of his might was like a cloud, enveloping the eight directions and restraining all cultivators and demonic beasts under the Immortal King.
“Squeak squeak squeak!”The Blazing Flame Bird was so frightened that it could no longer care about the Jiao’e Flower that it had been guarding for many years, fluttering its wings a few times, it soared into the sky and desperately fled.
“Too lazy to do anything!”
Qin Li scooped up the Sixth Grade Pill and took to the air.
Along the way, he encountered a large number of medicinal herbs, and if they were of a high grade, Qin Li stopped to dig them up, and those guardian demonic beasts shivered, not daring to resist at all.
Soon!
Qin Li entered the depths of the secret realm.
The trees around him became sparser and sparser, the temperature rose steeply, and the spring water evaporated.
Twenty miles further, there is not a trace of green around, all are dark rocks, emitting scalding temperatures, some of the cracks in the ground, but also spewed out hot poisonous smoke from the earth’s lungs, the air is filled with the smell of sulphur, if barefooted on the ground, in less than a moment or three moments, absolutely roasted.
“A scene of purgatory, it’s hard to imagine that the Seventh Grade Wind Nourishing Grass grows here.”Qin Li eyed the eight directions, searching for traces of the Wind Nourishing Grass.
Before advancing many miles, he smells a bloody odour if anything.
“It’s the smell of blood again!”
Qin Li’s heart jumped as he searched for the odour.
Not far away, underneath a stone cliff, six corpses were lying diagonally, all of them dismantled in large pieces, their blood and flesh flying about in a very disgusting manner.
“Looking at the costumes, they should be from the Earth Flame Sect!”
Qin Li landed on the ground and investigated the traces, “It’s still knife wounds, but the technique is not sharp, so it’s obviously not the murderer from the City Lord’s Mansion. Could it be that there’s not just one person behind the scenes, but a group of people.”
“Wait, there’s a trail of blood here, sporadically, leading into the distance. Could it be that there is an Earth Flame cultivator who escaped the black hand ……”
Qin Li narrowed his eyes and chased after them.
Not long after!
He saw a headless corpse.
“If I remember correctly, he’s Gu Yanzhi.”Qin Li sighed a little, this fellow didn’t die by his own hand, but fell in the Secret Realm.
“His wounds are actually frozen?”Qin Li examined it for a while and came to a realisation, “Knife wounds, ice marks. It seems that the murderer used an ice-steel greatsword, and as far as I know, only cultivators from the Northern Domain are adept at using ice swords.”
The Northern Domain was located in a bitterly cold area, where the snow did not melt all year round, and although there was a scarcity of material goods, it would breed some special treasures, such as the Twilight Snow Orchid, Ice Steel, Cold Iron, and the like.
Northern Region cultivators were notoriously solitary, good at making swords, good at strong wine, brave and tough, known as the Devil’s Path, and would seldom go to other regions in search of treasures.
Qin Li guessed, “Could it be that the black hand behind this is the Northern Region’s Devil Kingdom, could it be that it’s in retaliation for the Southern Heavenly Sect’s previous reckoning, in that case, to send out an Immortal King would be nothing.”
“Eh! Gu Yanzhi’s hand seems to be holding something else?”
Qin Li picked apart his palm.
It turned out to be a small handful of greenish-coloured hair, emitting a faint demonic aura.
“Demon?”Qin Li frowned, it seemed that things weren’t that simple, this trip to the Fire Hidden Mystic Realm might be hiding a great bloodbath.
At this moment!
The aura vibrates in the distance.
A red-coloured recluse light broke across the void.
Vaguely, the sound of ferocious beasts roaring could be heard, causing one’s scalp to tingle.
“This is the black hand behind the scenes, it appears to be an Immortal King!”Qin Li was so bold in his art that he directly stepped on the golden light and went forward to intercept.
“Outer Dao Immortal King, what are you stopping me for!”Yun Shiyu stopped her recluse, her face on guard.
She was in a bit of a sorry state, her clothes torn, her hair scattered, and the corners of her mouth tinged with traces of blood; she had clearly experienced a great battle and had been forced to flee to this place.
Qin Li was surprised, “You’re actually injured, could it be that you encountered the murderer of the City Lord’s Mansion bloodshed and fled here in defeat after a fierce battle.”
Yun Shiyu shook her head, “You’re overthinking it, I merely went to the Fire Crow Cave in search of treasures, and ended up encountering an Immortal King level Golden Feathered Fire Crow, and when caught off guard, I was injured by it, and so I fled all the way here.”
“Then excuse me!”Qin Li shrugged his shoulders and prepared to leave.
“Outer Dao Immortal King!”Yun Shiyu hurriedly called out, “I have a big deal, I wonder if you’re interested in joining?”
Qin Li said indifferently, “Tell me about it!”
Yun Shiyu explained, “You should have heard of the Yuan Dan Treasure, and I know the whereabouts of a portion of the treasure map, which is in the Fire Crow Cave.”
“How do you know that the treasure map is in the Fire Crow Cave?”Qin Li’s heart skipped a beat, surprisingly, it was the Yuan Dan Treasure Treasure, which might contain an eighth-grade elixir that could cure Senior Uncle Jin Guang.
Yun Shiyu laughed, “Five hundred years ago, there was a senior from the Eastern Immortal Palace who obtained a quarter of the treasure map. Later, he came to the Fire Crow Cave to search for treasure, and his entire body was hitched, and the treasure map was left behind.”
“Only a quarter of the treasure map, not interested!”Qin Li put on a look of lack of interest and turned around to leave.
“Wait!”Yun Shiyu gritted her teeth and seductively said, “Actually, I’ve also obtained a portion of the treasure map, if we retrieve the portion in the Fire Crow Cave, we’ll have half of the treasure map, and then you and I will both be able to enter the Yuan Dan Treasure.”
Qin Li raised an eyebrow and stretched out his hand, “Empty words are no proof, take it out and take a look.”
Yun Shiyu reluctantly took out a piece of leather paper.
Qin Li took it over and looked at it, the paper was the size of two palms, it should be tanned from demonic beast skin, light as paper and exceptionally tough. There was no pattern on it whatsoever, but it was permeated with a seeming yet terrifying pressure, definitely a mark above the Immortal King.
“Give it back to me!”Yun Shiyu snatched back the treasure map.
Qin Li laughed, “Let’s go to the Fire Crow Cave!”
The two set off.
Flying all the way, they cut through the sky.
On the way, Yun Shiyu ate a fifth-grade healing elixir to recover her peak state.
Not long after.
The two arrived at the Fire Crow Cave.
In front of them was a wide cave, dark and glittering with a demonic red light, emitting a rich demonic aura.
Qin Li said, ”It seems like the cave is inhabited by thousands of Fire Crows, the weakest of which are Immortal Lords, and the strongest of which are Immortal Zun Ninth Grade. Once they encounter an enemy, they pour out their nests and transform into clouds of fire, capable of fighting Immortal Kings.”
Yun Shiyu sighed, “I originally thought that the Fire Crow Cave was not dangerous, but as soon as I entered, I saw the corpses of fire crows all over the ground, and I even encountered an Immortal King ranked Golden Feathered Fire Crow, which was the one that caught me off guard.”
Qin Li guessed, “The demon race doesn’t cultivate techniques and only purifies their bloodline, it seems that this Golden Feathered Fire Crow devoured thousands of its kind and eventually promoted to Immortal King.”
“I’ll please go and lure out the Fire Crow, you ambush here and sneak attack in one fell swoop.”
Yun Shiyu gave an explanation and entered the cave.
Qin Li hides his tracks.
Rumble!
A loud popping sound.
The sound of intense fighting came from within the cave.
“Human child, actually coming to provoke, looking for death!”
“Golden-feathered Firecrow, last time you sneak attacked, this time victory or defeat is not certain!”
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two recluse lights shot out.
One was Yun Shiyu, who was in a bit of a mess.
The other was an eagle-hooked-nosed weirdo with a withered figure, five fingers like chicken claws, covered in black feathers, blazing fire power blooming all over his body, and two killing awns coming out of his eyes.
“Tear Cloud Claw!”
The Fire Crow Demon Man violently tore out with a claw.
Dao of crimson bladed light burst out, carrying blazing heat, with a swiftness to tear Yun Shiyu apart.
“Departing Flame Golden Pupil!”
Yun Shiyu turned around and just glared.
Within her eyes, a Departing Flame Golden Qi was shot out, which should have been imparted by the Xuan Weapon Immortal King, although it was no match for Qin Li’s Departing Flame Sword Qi, it was still lethal and strong, breaking through Daoist Firecrow’s bladed lights one by one.
“Good chance!”
“Hardware Sword Qi!”
Qin Li saw the right moment and suddenly struck out.
The Five-Metal Qi erupted out, transforming into a three-foot golden sword, golden and sharp, like a fifth-grade sword Qi, instantly shooting out, pointing directly at the Fire Crow Demon Man.
“Hmph! Found you a long time ago.”
The Fire Crow Demon Man sneered and backhanded his hand, splitting out blades of light and shattering Qin Li’s hardware sword Qi.
