Gui Li stared at Jin Ping'er for a long time, frowning slightly, but did not speak. However, under Gui Li's vague and sharp gaze, Jin Ping'er acted as if nothing had happened, and did not feel at all how important his words at this moment were.

As if something was wrong, he looked at Gui Li with a smile.

In the Xuanhuo Altar, it became quiet for a while. The monkey Xiao Hui, who was lying on Gui Li's shoulder, seemed to dislike this atmosphere. He moved his body, called out "Zhi Zhi" twice, jumped off his master's shoulder and landed on the ground.

, looked around for a moment, then walked away to the side, and slowly walked to the center of the Xuanhuo Altar, which was engraved with countless red fierce gods.

Gui Li slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at Xiao Hui who was lying on the ground with great interest and making faces at those fierce god patterns, and said slowly: "So, you know a lot?"

Jin Ping'er smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the spring breeze, gently passing through the cold palace, and said: "I am a little and weak woman, how can I know anything, but I have been lucky enough to visit a few places in the past.

And because you are valued by the Ghost King Sect Master, I am here to help you."

She pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Don't think too much about it!"

Gui Li frowned and said nothing, not to mention the vaguely disturbing charm in Jin Ping'er's charming words. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have suddenly forgotten why Jin Ping'er suddenly appeared here, and also forgot about the shrouded

Jin Ping'er was still the mysterious one among the ghost kings, and said lightly: "In this case, I have to ask you for advice."

Jin Ping'er's eyes flashed, but the smile on her face was still charming, and she said: "Sir, please tell me."

Guili said: "It seems that you arrived here before me. As you said, it is said that in order to suppress the beast god, the 'Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array' must be found here. It's just that I am dull and can't understand it.

I wonder if Miss Jin has any understanding?"

Jin Ping'er shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "To tell you the truth, I have actually been here at the Xuanhuo Altar for three days, but I have gained nothing. Except for these messy images carved on the ground,

I found nothing."

Gui Li looked at the dark red pattern at his feet unexpectedly. Unlike Jin Ping'er, he, including Xiao Hui, had personally experienced the power of the strange magic circle in the Xuanhuo Altar.

The power and the terrifying red flame beast are definitely not memories that can be easily forgotten. Perhaps it is because of this that Xiao Hui is so interested in throwing himself on the ground, scratching here and there.

Dongdong, seems to be looking for something?

Could it be that after the earth-shattering change that day, volcanic lava shot out of the sky and destroyed the magic circle here?

Such thoughts passed through Gui Li's mind, but he did not express them. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Jin Ping'er again and said: "Miss Jin, no matter what, this is the only place we know of where the 'Eight Ominous Mysteries' are found."

Since the Fire Array's territory is indispensable for suppressing the Beast God, we might as well stay here for a few more days, maybe there is still a little hope."

Jin Ping'er smiled coquettishly and said, "Okay."

Gui Li glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze, and sat down again in front of the magic circle patterns on the ground. Not long after, a faint fragrance floated over, and his clothes were light, but Jin Ping'er was sitting not far from him.

He stood down, but the distance between the two people seemed to be closer.

Gui Li frowned and hesitated to speak. He did not look at the beauty beside him. He only focused on the picture. But for some reason, another thought suddenly appeared in his mind:

Xiaobai said that day that he would go to southern Xinjiang to search for the magic formula of the "Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array", but there was no news about her for a long time. I wonder how she is doing now; and it seems that this is the only place in the world that has the Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array.

clues, but Xiaobai is obviously not here, so where will she be now?

Is she okay?

This vague thought flashed through Gui Li's mind from time to time in the next few days.

※※※

It's just that it seems that the magma eruption that skyrocketed that day caused more damage than Gui Li had expected. Although the stone carvings of the fierce gods on the ground seemed to be intact, they obviously no longer contained the original meaning.

The spiritual energy within it, or the violent energy with powerful power, is now nothing more than dull stone carvings.

Gui Li and Jin Ping'er secretly speculated and comprehended in the Xuanhuo Altar for seven days, but still found nothing. During this period, disciples from Fenxiang Valley came in from time to time to check, and several times Shangguan Ce even brought people over for routine inspections.

But today's Gui Li, including Jin Ping'er, have advanced in their spiritual practice and only hid in the dark place above the Xuanhuo Altar, thus easily evading these searches.

It's just that I still can't figure out the essentials of the magic circle, which is really a headache.

On this day, the two of them sat in front of these stiff stone carvings for another whole morning. Suddenly, Jin Ping'er stretched his waist, and his slender waist looked like the body of an enchanting snake, with an aura that seduces people.

.Unfortunately, the only man beside her at this moment was still looking at the stone carvings on the ground, thinking hard, and did not notice the performance of Jin Ping'er's graceful figure at all.

Jin Ping'er snorted softly and glared at Gui Li. There seemed to be a trace of complicated emotions passing through her eyes, but it only passed by. After a moment, she sighed and said: "You see

What happened?"

Gui Li moved and then slowly came back to his senses. He turned to look at Jin Ping'er, shook his head and said, "What about you?"

Jin Ping'er smiled bitterly and did not answer, but Gui Li already understood.

Jin Ping'er frowned and said: "We have been here watching these ghosts for seven days. During these seven days, we tried our best, but let alone activating this magic circle, even touching some stone carvings couldn't do anything. What happened?

thing?"

Gui Li pondered for a moment, raised his head and glanced at the darkness above, and said: "When I was here to save people, I touched the mechanism in this hall, and the Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array was triggered immediately. But

" He glanced towards the center of the hall, and said with a strange tone in his tone, "But that mechanism is gone now."

Jin Ping'er followed his gaze and saw indeed a small raised stone platform in the center of the hall, but the stone there was charred black and solidified into an ugly mass. It looked like some ingenious mechanism.

In fact, as soon as Gui Li arrived here and saw this scene, he knew that the strange stone mechanism he saw when he first came here that day had been destroyed, and the last time he came here to see those fierce stone carvings on the ground

, all the violent auras that resonated in my heart could not be felt at all this time.

This once terrifying stone carving looked like a lifeless thing.

The two of them fell into silence for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a while, Jin Ping'er seemed to have thought of something, and when he raised his head and was about to speak, his face suddenly changed, and Gui Li's brows had also frowned.

Turning around, he rushed over to Xiao Hui who was playing nearby in the blink of an eye, picked up the monkey, and then floated up. A moment later, he had disappeared into the darkness above the Xuanhuo Altar Hall.

Jin Ping'er's wonderful eyes watched his figure disappear into the darkness three times and two times, smiled slightly, and then floated up, also disappearing into the darkness.

After a moment, there was a "squeak" and a dull sound echoed in the hall of the Xuanhuo Altar.

The door was opened

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and it sounded like there were a lot of people there, but a majestic voice came faintly from among them. After saying a few words, it suddenly became quiet. Then, three people walked in from outside the open door.

people.

The person in front was surprisingly the owner of Fenxiang Valley, Yun Yilan. The one half behind him and to the right was his junior brother Shangguan Ce. The last person, a few steps away from the two in front, was Yun Yi.

Li Xun, Lan's favorite disciple.

After the three of them walked into the Xuanhuo Altar, Li Xun, who was walking at the end, turned around and closed the heavy door. The original light was immediately blocked outside the room, and only the dimness flickered slowly here.

※※※

Having lost the spiritual power of the formation, the three floors above the originally cold Mysterious Fire Altar have now lost the bitter cold. All that remains is the indifference of the huge and hard rock. In the darkness, Gui Li and

Jin Ping'er quietly passed through the dark hole and looked down in the darkness.

As if he knew that this time was no better than before, Xiao Hui, who had always been restless, seemed to be much quieter, lying down beside his master.

Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce walked slowly to the center of the Xuanhuo Altar and stood on top of the former Eight Ominous Xuanhuo Array. Looking from a distance, his face seemed to be shrouded in shadow.

The three people below stood there, silent for a long time, without speaking, and the atmosphere was a little weird. Above their heads, Gui Li seemed to be aware of it, and glanced at Jin Ping'er, but he happened to see Jin Ping'er.

Looking at themselves, both of them saw the slight confusion in the other's eyes.

Yun Yilan seemed to have a gloomy face. Maybe his mood should have been like this. Who else would have been in a bad mood when he saw that the business he had been running for many years had become like this. It was just his face.

At first glance, he seems to have no expression. After looking at it for a while, it gives people a vague feeling of ever-changing. But if you look closely, you will find that his face has never changed. What has changed is just

It's just your intention.

At least, during those days in Qingyun Mountain, no one in the world would see his expression.

For a long time, Yun Yilan's wandering eyes kept moving on the strange red stone carvings on the floor of the Xuanhuo Altar, looking from one end to the other, from one to the other. After that, he slowly walked to the stone carvings.

On the small burnt black raised stone platform in the center, he stretched out his palm and gently stroked the stone.

"How long has it been?" Yun Yilan suddenly spoke, asking in a low voice without any beginning or end.

Shangguan Ce was standing next to him. Judging from his expression, he was not surprised by Yun Yilan's sudden question. He seemed to know some things clearly, but he had no intention of answering.

Strangely, he turned his head and glanced at Li Xun, who was standing three steps behind the two of them.

Li Xun's head was lowered slightly, his expression was respectful, his eyes were slightly closed, and he remained silent.

He didn't look back, but Yun Yilan seemed to know everything that happened behind him, and said calmly: "Xun'er is not an outsider. He will also take over Fenxiang Valley in the future, so don't hide these things from him."

Shangguan Ce's body shook slightly, then he calmed down, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It has been thirty days since we were ready and started the formal summons, and the 'Red Flame Mingzun' has not responded."

Yun Yilan's expression didn't change at all. At most, his eyes flickered a few times, but it gave the impression that he suddenly became gloomier. But above the Xuanhuo Altar, Gui Li felt a movement in his heart.

It wasn't that he was surprised that Fenxiang Valley was also suffering from the inability to repair this weird magic circle, but Shangguan Ce's mention of the so-called "Red Flame Mingzun" just now touched a place deep in his memory, almost subconsciously.

He felt what Shangguan Ce was referring to——

Could that fiery and wild giant beast, whose whole body was wrapped in flames, be the key to the legendary Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array with a long history and strange origins?

The atmosphere in the Xuanhuo Altar was a little weird. Yun Yilan looked ugly and didn't speak. He just paced back and forth in the hall, seeming to be thinking about something. Shangguan Ce just looked at his senior brother and didn't speak. As for standing there

Li Xun on the side seemed to just maintain a humble posture and said nothing.

As time went by, Yun Yilan's eyebrows gradually wrinkled, and there was a sharp look in his eyes, as if something was fiercely fighting in his heart, but finally, he suddenly stopped, took a long breath, and turned his head to the person behind him.

Shangguan Ce and Li Xun looked over.

Shangguan Ce glanced at Yun Yilan, called out in a low voice, "Senior brother?"

Yun Yilan seemed to have made up his mind, so he did not hesitate anymore and said coldly: "Junior brother Shangguan, I don't need to say more about how important this magic circle in the Xuanhuo Altar is. No matter what, it must be restored, otherwise
