Hearing these two words, Xia Shang was slightly startled, but he was not surprised.
It’s just that a decent sect should have a character like “Ancestor”, so it’s not surprising that there is a hidden figure in Shuiyue Villa. However, if a character like Ancestor is invited to appear, it will usually be at a moment when the sect is facing life and death.
Yue Lingbo could say such words at this moment, it seemed that she finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Shang Rong did not move. She looked at Xia Shang and asked Xia Shang for his opinion.
Xia Shang nodded: "Do as she said."
Immediately, Shang Rong took Xia Shang with him, and under the guidance of Yue Lingbo, the three of them went up the mountain together.
The only way to the other side of the valley is the three iron ropes, so you must return to Tianjian Terrace.
Along the way, the three of them saw the fire getting stronger and stronger. At first there were only sporadic grass clippings and rockets, but gradually bundles of hay began to fall, with blazing flames like shooting stars.
Fortunately, the vertical distance from Tianjian Terrace to the valley bottom is very high. Not only rockets, but also small fires will gradually extinguish during the free fall, so the flames have not spread to the valley bottom. But some fires have spread all the way down the mountain wall.
The burning flames are approaching step by step, and the bottom of the valley is full of piles of licorice chips. Any spark that falls may cause unimaginable consequences.
Seeing this scene, Yue Lingbo became more and more nervous.
Xia Shang didn't think much about it. He was even more surprised about Shang Rong.
"Why do you appear here? Where is Qingluan?"
"She is in a safe place. I found many people on the mountainside of the valley. They came with countless licorice. I expected that they would set fire to it. If we leave too late, the gods will not be able to fly out."
Xia Shang knew that Shang Rong came specifically to save him.
To be honest, he didn't want to accept the other party's favor, because there was still a big conflict between him and Shang Rong. But now that the matter was over, Xia Shang had no choice but to remain silent.
Shang Rong was very worried. She looked at the Taotao flames and lowered her voice: "Come out with me! This place is unbearable. More than ten thousand people came to besiege Shuiyue Villa. There are only one or two hundred disciples here, how can we resist them?"
Xia Shang looked at Yue Lingbo and found that Yue Lingbo's face turned pale when she heard more than ten thousand people, but she did not speak.
Then, Xia Shang looked at Shang Rong: "Let's go? Do you think it can be as easy as when you came? No matter who the other party is, since they chose to set fire on such a large scale and have so many people, it proves that they are
If they want to drive out everyone in Shuiyue Villa, they must be sure not to let anyone go. If we go out now, we are definitely looking for death."
"Then what do you think we should do? Are we counting on the people of Shuiyue Villa to put out the fire?"
"If a fire breaks out in a valley like this, it is impossible to put out the fire without thousands of people." Xia Shang said in a deep voice, then looked at Yue Lingbo, "If you don't want your disciples to die in vain, you'd better let them escape first.
Fire it up."
"Where can I escape in this valley?"
"The fire can't start here."
Yue Lingbo was shocked and looked at Xia Shang: "Why?"
"It's very simple, because this place is extremely humid. Due to the long-term evaporation of water mist in the canyon hot springs, not only the valley forests are hydrated, but also the clouds above here are in a state of water accumulation for a long time. With normal humidity, there should be light rain here from time to time.
, but if there is a fire below that quickly evaporates the moisture in the valley, it will cause a surge of rain in the clouds above. Within two hours, there will be heavy rain here. By then, even if no one is needed to put out the fire, the fire here will naturally be extinguished.
.So, the key now is not to think about how to put out the fire, but how to persevere until the heavy rain falls."
Yue Lingbo didn't quite understand what he heard, but when he saw Xia Shang speaking seriously and seemed to be reasonable, he couldn't help but feel suspicious: "Can this person understand the laws of wind, rain, thunder and lightning?"
"Are you telling the truth?"
"certainly."
"We're almost certain."
"Ten percent."
"Ten percent?" Yue Lingbo didn't quite believe it.
But Shang Rong added on the side: "You'd better believe him, his words are accurate."
Shang Rong's words made Yue Lingbo even more confused. Why are these two people so confident?
At this time, the entire villa was at stake. Yue Lingbo felt that he should take a gamble. Seeing that the three of them had returned to the Tianjian Platform, he couldn't help but look horrified when he saw the entrance of the villa being swallowed up by flames.
The fire here has been out of control. Not only is the flames covering the door, but also burning trees and houses can be seen everywhere on the Tianjian Platform. Standing here, you can no longer see the green water and green mountains outside the village, only the flames like huge waves.
It rose up and surrounded the entire villa, leaving no chance to get out. The heat waves came one after another, making people's eyes sting. The disciples around were all gray and gray from the smoke. Almost everyone had burns on their bodies, but
He also desperately fetched water to put out the fire.
These are just a drop in the bucket and won't change anything at all.
When Yue Lingbo saw this scene, he knew he had to change his strategy.
"Everyone come here!"
Yue Lingbo used his last bit of strength to shout, but his voice was drowned in the sea of fire, and only a few disciples heard it.
When they turned around and saw their master dying, they were startled and hurriedly came over to ask.
Yue Lingbo didn't explain much and directly ordered: "Inform all disciples to take shelter in the valley, as there will be heavy rain from time to time."
Several disciples still didn't understand: "But..."
"Don't ask any questions, just do as I say."
"As you command!"
The female disciples dispersed, and Yue Lingbo urged Shang Rong to cross the iron rope.
Now the iron cables connecting the two sides of the mountain wall are not only submerged in water mist, but also covered in flame smoke. The visibility from above is only two to three meters. The iron cables are only as thick as a human arm, making it wobbly and unstable when walking on them.
Not to mention that Xia Shang is injured now, even if his body is intact, his heart is pounding when he walks on it.
Fortunately, Shang Rong was with us, so the journey was smooth and smooth.
At the same time, after passing the iron rope, Xia Shang was greatly surprised to see the scene on the other side of the iron rope.
Yue'e said that the other side of the iron rope is the place where the male disciples of the villa practice.
Xia Shang thought to himself that even if there were more female disciples than male disciples in Shuiyue Villa, then the other side of the iron chain would at least be a place for people to live with scattered courtyards. And the ground should be relatively wide.
But what appeared in front of me was just a larger-looking cave, dark and gloomy, with only sporadic firelight coming from inside. There was a strange smell in the air, which seemed to be the smell of blood.
Just standing at the entrance of the cave gives me a creepy feeling.
In front of the cave entrance, there is a stone tablet with four words engraved on it - "Intruders will die".
Perhaps Shang Rong's senses were more acute. As soon as she stepped into the cave entrance, she felt something was wrong and put a sword on Yue Lingbo's neck with her backhand.
