Ye Chao raised the green ancient jade, feeling sad. If it weren't for it, he would definitely die here, but without it, he wouldn't be able to come to this mysterious fire altar alone.
Seeing the huge flame god disappear into the void, Ye Chao took a sip of wine and walked towards the eight statues while coughing.
Now look at the eight statues. Each of the gods depicted has a different face. However, each one without exception has a ferocious or ferocious expression, like an evil ghost crawling up from under the Nine Netherworld.
In the center of the eight statues, there seemed to be a ball of fire burning from the void. When Ye Chaozheng felt strange, he saw the ancient well under the fire.
It turned out that what existed under the ancient well was not water, but surging magma, and the flame was just a strange phenomenon reflected by the ancient well.
Suddenly, Ye Chao felt a burst of heat coming from the warm Xuanhuo Jian in his hand. He subconsciously let go, but the Xuanhuo Jian did not fall to the ground, but was floated in front of him by an unknown force.
Looking up, the eyes of the eight statues of gods seemed to have an extra sparkle, and there seemed to be a faint red glow emanating from them.
Ye Chao couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of fear, but this fear only lasted for a moment. The next moment he became excited again, because the Taoist charm spread out among the eight statues.
After practicing the first and third volumes of the Heavenly Book, Ye Chao's understanding of the Tao was no less than that of the first elder of the Qingyun Sect. With the addition of the Xuanhuo Jian, he actually fell into enlightenment by the ancient well.
…
After a long time, or just after closing his eyes and opening them, Ye Chao opened his eyes. A ray of fire seemed to burst out from his eyes. The ancient jade floating in the void had fallen in front of him at some unknown time.
.
"It turns out that the method of setting up the Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Formations is hidden in the Mysterious Fire Mirror. Moreover, this real Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Formations can only be activated by the Mysterious Fire Mirror."
Ye Chao muttered to himself while walking towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
As he approached the second floor, the originally warm temperature in the hall no longer disappeared, but an extremely pure cold force poured into Ye Chao's body.
The empty second floor was dark, but there seemed to be something glowing in the center.
Ye Chao walked closer and saw clearly that the object was actually a stone tablet, and the chill in the second floor came from that place.
There were three simple big characters "Xuan Huo Jian" written on it. There was a circular groove under the big characters. Ye Chao knew that this was the forbidden place to the third floor.
Putting the Xuanhuo Jian on it, for a moment, a sound of friction between stones came from above Ye Chao's head. He looked up and saw that the stone slab above his head slowly receded and a large hole appeared.
When the sound stopped, Ye Chao took off the Xuanhuo Jian and jumped into the third floor.
It is not dark on the third floor. There are rays of blue light that render the place into a blue world. Looking at the feet, it is not rocks and bricks, but ice cubes that have been frozen for an unknown number of years and exude a faint cold air.
Ye Chao looked around, looking for traces of the nine-tailed sky fox, but at this moment, a faint but hoarse voice came out.
"You are not Shangguan Ce, who are you?"
Ye Chao looked behind him, and a sheet of white snow came into view. On the snow, lying quietly was a fox that was whiter than snow. It had nine tails, but the tail looked like it had gone through punishment.
People were pulling it weakly, its waist was so graceful and graceful that even Ye Chao, a human, couldn't bear to look at it and was intoxicated. However, there was a heavy iron chain tied to it.
People always look at beautiful things differently. At this time, Ye Chao actually felt a kind of anger. His anger towards Fenxiang Valley for treating a white fox so cruelly was unfounded and unreasonable. After all, he
I have never interacted with this white fox before.
Ye Chao pulled out the broken jade sword from his waist and slowly walked towards the white fox and the angry iron chain.
Just as he was about to approach, he suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked into the nine-tailed fox's eyes as bright as a baby.
"As expected of a nine-tailed sky fox, he almost got me killed. It's amazing, it's amazing."
Listening to Ye Chao's words that seemed to be sighing to himself, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the nine-tailed fox, and then he said: "You can wake up from my charm so quickly, so it shouldn't be easy for you to fall into my trap."
The illusion, but you just fell into it, which shows that you were not prepared for me just now, which means that you are not from Fenxiang Valley, how did you get in?"
"You saw it just now, jumping up from there." Ye Chao said, pointing to the cave where he jumped up.
After hearing his words, the nine-tailed fox who had lived for an unknown amount of time felt a faint anger in his heart, but she quickly suppressed it.
First of all, this young man is definitely not from Fenxiang Valley, so if he can come to the third floor, there is a high possibility that he knows this place and himself. However, how can someone who is not from Fenxiang Valley come here?
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, her child who escaped back then.
"You have the Xuanhuo Jian, you killed Xiaoliu!"
At this time, the voice of the nine-tailed fox definitely no longer sounded as soft and weak as before, and her body also exuded extremely terrifying scarlet demonic power.
But just at that moment, due to the excitement of her demonic power, the iron chain began to straighten, and brilliant ice crystals exuding cold power appeared in the air.
Because of the appearance of these ice crystals, a look of pain appeared on the face of the nine-tailed fox, but she was still activating her demon power.
Also, is there any mother in the world who can remain indifferent upon learning that her child has passed away?
Looking at the nine-tailed fox who seemed to be fighting for his life, Ye Chao said quickly: "I do have the Xuanhuojian on me, but Xiaoliu is not dead. Don't get excited, don't get excited."
The nine-tailed fox has existed in this world for who knows how many years, and with her extremely high charm skills, she knew that Ye Chao was not lying at this time, so she restrained her demonic power and looked at Ye Chao quietly, waiting for his explanation.
"Speaking of which, I am still your son's savior. He is suffering from cold poison..."
Then, Ye Chao told the story of what he passed at Black Rock Cave that day.
After a long time, the nine-tailed fox stood up and bowed to Ye Chao like a human, "Thank you, Master, for saving Xiaoliu."
Ye Chao shook his head, "There's no need to thank me, because this is my reward for taking the Xuanhuo Jian, and I have to save you. This is also included in the reward, so please don't thank me for a while.
"
After saying that, Ye Chao followed the iron chain tied to the nine-tailed fox to a stone platform that exuded cold power. Before the nine-tailed fox could speak, he placed the Xuanhuo Jian in the indentation on the stone platform.
