Huoling Sect, the back mountain where the cabinet is located.
boom!
Rumble!
A series of rumbling and muffled sounds came.
Yes, it was a muffled sound, not an explosion.
Immediately afterwards, the entire back mountain began to tremble.
The back mountain did not explode, but it started to tremble crazily.
The appearance of this scene also scared the people of the Fire Spirit Sect half to death.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
In just a moment, almost all the core figures of the Huo Ling Sect had gathered outside the sect's cabinet.
However, except for the four elders, no one else dared to enter the cabinet at all.
The four elders finally entered the cabinet and appeared near the back mountain.
As a result, after checking the situation, they all frowned at the same time.
Because they didn't find any problems.
I only knew that there was a muffled roar, and that the mountain behind was shaking, but I didn't know what was going on.
"Damn it, why is there such a sound all of a sudden? Moreover, the mountain behind is actually shaking?"
The speaker was Yang Jiang, the seventh elder. He frowned and murmured.
"Second Elder, it should be you who is on duty this time, right?"
As soon as the seventh elder finished speaking, the fifth elder Xu Songzhi turned to the second elder beside him and asked, "Do you know what the situation is?"
The second elder frowned and turned to the first elder.
The great elder said, "Originally, the second brother was supposed to be on duty, but a few days ago, the sect master came to us and said that he wanted to refine a furnace of pills in seclusion in the cabinet and needed to use special Yuanhuo, so he used
It was a special opportunity.”
He added, "So, it is the sect leader who is guarding the cabinet now."
The seventh elder Yang Jiang immediately said, "In that case, then go directly to the sect leader. Does he know what the situation is?"
"No!"
However, the great elder shook his head and said, "The sect leader said that this time the alchemy is done in seclusion, which is very important. Without his order, or if it is not an important matter related to the life and death of the sect, he must not be disturbed."
The seventh elder, Yang Jiang, frowned and asked, "What kind of elixir did the sect master refine? Why do you still have to close such a death barrier?"
The great elder frowned and looked at Yang Jiang, "What kind of elixir does the sect want to make? Is this something we should ask too much?"
The seventh elder Yang Jiang's face condensed, and he was obviously a little dissatisfied, but he did not talk back again.
"In that case, then don't bother the sect leader."
Xu Songzhi immediately said, "If this matter is really related to the sect master, or in other words, it is really related to the life and death of the sect, the sect master will definitely come out. It is impossible for him not to know such a situation."
The second elder nodded and agreed, "I think so too."
"In that case, let's go somewhere else!"
The first elder immediately turned to the second elder and said, "Go and check those fire passages."
Then he said to Fifth Elder Xu Song and Seventh Elder Yang Jiang, "You two go to the east and west sides of the back mountain to check again to see if there is anything going on."
Finally, he said, "I will go to the sect master to find out the situation."
"good!"
Immediately, the other three elders agreed.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Immediately, the four elders separated and went about their own business.
…
After everyone else left, Zhang Qifeng moved and came to the main cabinet hall.
That is the Dan Palace where the sect leader Lingxuan lives.
Standing outside the hall, Zhang Qifeng said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, the mountains behind are shaking, and there are strange noises. I wonder if you know what's going on?"
In the hall, the face of the sect leader Lingxuan was also very solemn.
Although the muffled roar in the back mountain was not loud, with his ability, how could he not hear it?
Not to mention the violent shaking.
Originally, Ling Xuan should have appeared as soon as these situations occurred. However, Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er had just entered the passage. It was less than a day, so it was naturally impossible for them to come out.
If these two people don't come out, can he go out on his own?
Once you go out, how will you explain to these elders?
Therefore, he was worried, but still did not dare to go out rashly.
Fortunately, despite the violent trembling and roaring sounds, he still sensed that nothing particularly serious was happening outside.
Therefore, he always felt at ease.
But, after all, I don’t know much about the outside world, so my peace of mind is limited.
At this time, when the great elder came to ask questions, he asked in a deep voice, "Besides the abnormal noise and trembling, are there any other conditions?"
Great Elder Zhang Qifei replied, "Not yet!"
"I have opened a channel to introduce special Yuan Fire. I don't know if it is because of this."
Lingxuan said, "Always pay attention to the movements in the back mountain. If anything particularly serious happens, come and report to me immediately."
"But if nothing serious happens, don't bother me."
"I have just entered the state. I must control the special energy and not be disturbed."
"Otherwise, something could easily happen."
This can be regarded as giving the great elder an explanation.
When the great elder heard this, he nodded and replied, "I understand."
After saying that, the great elder stopped talking nonsense, moved and left again.
…
After a while.
A group of four elders gathered again in the back of the cabinet.
"There's nothing going on here."
"Same here."
The replies from Xu Songzhi and Yang Jiang are consistent.
However, the second elder said, "There is something wrong with the fire channel. It can be clearly felt that although the fire channel is not open, the temperature inside is extremely high, and the smell of the special Yuan Fire is also very strong. It seems to be
It’s like it’s going to overflow, but it hasn’t overflowed yet.”
After saying that, he turned to the great elder, "Is there anything going on with the sect leader?"
"The sect leader said that he triggered the special Yuan Fire and is now refining the elixir."
The great elder replied, "He said that if there are no other more serious situations, let us not disturb him."
"You must be very careful when controlling the special Yuan Fire. Otherwise, it is easy for the elixir to fail to be refined and for people to get into trouble." Fifth Elder Xu Songzhi nodded and said, "You really shouldn't bother."
The second elder nodded and said, "Yes, I agree with the fifth elder."
"No, we are now talking about what is going on in the back mountain!" Yang Jiang frowned and said, "What does this have to do with not disturbing the sect leader?"
"The current situation is most likely related to the sect leader activating the special Yuan Fire to refine the elixir."
The great elder explained, "If we want to figure out what's going on, we have to go to the sect master, or ask the sect master to temporarily stop activating the special essence fire."
He added, "But now, it is the critical moment for the sect leader to make alchemy. If we interrupt, if we are not careful, the sect leader may get into trouble."
"That's not right. We have used special Yuan Fire to refine pills before, but why hasn't this happened before?" Yang Jiang was puzzled, "I think there is definitely something wrong with this matter."
Hearing this, the other three elders frowned at the same time.
Together we headed towards Yang Jiang.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
Yang Jiang frowned and said, "Am I right?"
"Then what do you think the problem is?" Great Elder Zhang Qifei asked, "Or are you doubting the sect master and thinking that the sect master has some agenda?"
"..."
Yang Jiang was dumbfounded.
Can this be doubted casually?
He was just talking.
"Lao Qi, there are some things that you just need to know, and you can't talk nonsense."
The great elder immediately said, "We only need to know that this matter is related to the sect master's triggering of the earth fire. The sect master also said that there are no other more serious situations and not to disturb him, so we won't ask any more questions."
"If there is a real situation, he will give us an explanation."
"He is the sect leader, we are just elders, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Yang Jiang frowned slightly.
Of course he knew this truth, but he still wanted to figure out what was going on.
But the three elders in front of him obviously made the same decision, so what else could he say?
Therefore, I could only nod silently and express my approval.
"Second brother, thank you for staying here. If anything happens, let us know immediately."
The first elder turned to the second elder and said, "Although it shouldn't be too serious, I'm afraid of the worst."
"I was originally on duty, and this is my responsibility." The second elder nodded, "First elder, don't worry."
The great elder then said to Xu Songzhi and Yang Jiang, "You two should go back and rest first. I will notify you to come over if necessary."
The two nodded, turned and left.
The Great Elder also has another mission, to disperse the disciples who are watching outside...
…
Time passes little by little.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Lingxuan is still guarding the Dan Palace.
At this time, there is only one and a half months left before the battle for resources begins.
However, Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er in the passage still didn't come out.
This is a kind of torture for him.
A very painful ordeal.
Because he didn't know what was going on inside.
I don't know what happened to the people inside.
I only know that the strange situation outside has been going on.
Although, it's not that intense anymore, and it's not that crazy anymore.
But it has always existed and has never stopped!
How could he not be worried?
Unfortunately, he can't go in yet.
He can only open that channel once, not multiple times.
If you activate it multiple times, you will be punished, and even the position of the sect leader will be removed.
This is the sect's rule.
Because the number of channel array gates is limited.
Every time it is opened, the battle gate consumes a lot of money.
Moreover, Liu Hao also said that if he was not allowed to go in, it would cause other troubles, which would be even more troublesome.
Therefore, he did not dare to go in easily.
Fortunately, he at least knew that his daughter and Liu Hao still had signs of life and were not dead yet.
So, even though he was anxious, he still didn't mess around.
And this situation lasted for another month.
At this time, there is only half a month left before the battle for resources begins.
The disciples from the Fire Spirit Sect also have to start making preparations.
Under normal circumstances, it would be time to leave for Yucheng.
However, Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er still didn't come out, which really made Lingxuan a little anxious.
If this doesn't come out, he won't be able to explain it to the elders outside!
"Sect Master, how is your elixir refining going? Is it successful?"
However, at this moment, the Great Elder's voice came from outside again, "The battle for resources is about to begin, and you should leave."
Facing the great elder's question, Lingxuan really didn't know how to answer.
However, he still had to answer.
"I know it well, no need to ask any more questions."
Lingxuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I won't delay the fight for resources, don't disturb me."
"Sect Master, it's not that we want to disturb you, but the time has indeed come and you should leave seclusion." Outside, the seventh elder Yang Jiang interjected, "Moreover, if you don't come out of seclusion and continue to practice, maybe others will
There is a problem with the fire channel."
He added, "Now, the formations in those fire-generating channels have begun to loosen, and there is a possibility that those special Yuan Fires will forcefully break out."
Hearing this, Lingxuan's face changed slightly.
I thought to myself, "What the hell is Liu Hao doing? Is he trying to bring down the Huo Ling Sect?"
Thinking so, fire returns to fire, but he still has to hide it honestly, "I know, and it will come out soon."
"How soon is it soon?"
It was still Yang Jiang who spoke, "Can you give me a specific time?"
Lingxuan thought for a while, "Five days at most!"
"No, we have to come out today." Yang Jiang said bluntly, "We can't let you mess around anymore, otherwise, the Huo Ling Sect will have problems."
"..."
Lingxuan was stunned for a moment. When did he, the sect leader, have his turn to be ordered by an elder?
However, he cannot get angry at this moment or that moment.
However, he couldn't give in, so he stopped talking.
"If you don't say anything, we will take it as your acquiescence." Yang Jiang said, "If you don't come out after today, we will break in."
Lingxuan still didn't speak.
At first, I didn’t know how to answer.
Secondly, if you don't speak, people outside will become suspicious and a little afraid.
Thirdly, he also maintained the majesty of his sect leader.
But even so, the problem still needs to be solved!
No, the day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, the sun rose.
From outside, Yang Jiang's voice came over, "Sect Master, you must come out within half an hour. If you don't come out, we will force your way in!"
Lingxuan is so hot!
On the one hand, no one is coming out, but on the other hand, you are forcing yourself to go out. This is like a sandwich biscuit!
If someone from the outside breaks in and finds that he has done nothing and knows that Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er have entered a special Yuanhuo channel, he will definitely not be able to continue being the leader of the sect!
Unfortunately, he couldn't enter the passage and bring the person out.
what to do?
He is very anxious, very anxious.
Time passed little by little.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Lingxuan was almost desperate...
Weng!
However, just when he was about to despair, suddenly, the light in the passage flickered...
