Xie Yuan thought that Yunxing would take him to some remote place, such as sneaking all the way, twisting and turning into the depths of the mountains or hundreds of feet underground, or entering a secret stronghold in the city and blindfolding him all the way in a special carriage. Transported to the Zao Sect Headquarters and so on.
The result was not quite what he imagined.
Yunxing held his hands behind his back and led him to walk along the official road in a swagger. Then he looked left and right as he walked, as if he was looking for something.
Until he passed a village, Yunxing clapped his hands and nodded:
"This is it!"
Xie Yuan watched coldly without saying a word, watching Yunxing lead him into the village and then find a house:
"My father-in-law, let me borrow your house so we can do something."
Although both of them were disguised, she had a soft voice and a graceful figure. The old farmer had a strange look on his face when a man and a woman stayed overnight to do business.
However, seeing the silver ingot handed over by Yun Xing, the old farmer's eyes instantly shone, he took the silver ingot with trembling hands, couldn't help but bite it with his teeth, and then showed an ecstatic expression:
< br>
"Do whatever you want, do whatever you want! It's no problem giving this house to you!"
Yunxing smiled:
"I don't want the house. I see you have chickens in your yard. Bring one over."
"No problem, I'll kill a chicken for you right now!"
The old farmer agreed repeatedly that with this silver ingot, not to mention a chicken, it would be no problem to buy all his belongings here.
Yunxing shook his head:
"Don't kill it, just bring it over. If there are any cats or bastards in the village, please bring me one, and then go catch a snake. Remember, all of them are alive."
The old farmer was a little strange when he heard this. What kind of dish is this?
Or... do they need these things to entertain them when doing things?
Hiss...it's really hard to tell what rich people's tastes are.
The farmer glanced at Xie Yuan, who had been silent for the whole time, and felt that it was the young lady who made the decision. Could this man be the pretty boy who was abducted by her?
He looks ordinary. Apart from being taller, he is not as good as when he was young. He was also a well-known handsome young man from all over the country.
The farmer shook his head, but the heavy weight in his hand prevented him from asking any more questions. He just agreed repeatedly and hurriedly followed the nobleman's request.
After the old farmer left, Xie Yuan became curious, why did Yunxing want these little animals?
"What, are you hungry?"
Xie Yuan asked.
Yunxing’s eyebrows are curved:
"Yeah, you won't let me eat."
Xie Yuan shut up instantly.
Yunxing smiled and said nothing more. He just took out a few more bottles, cans, and ink pens from his belongings, and started drawing in the largest farmhouse.
Xie Yuan took one look and realized that he was going to set up a formation!
A flash of light flashed in his eyes. Could it be that the formations arranged here can lead to the Zao Sect's main altar?
Xie Yuan calmly scanned the surroundings. Green mountains stood in the distance, and a small river meandered in front of the village. It was indeed a good village with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
"Don't look, you can't tell."
Yunxing understood Xie Yuan's thoughts without even raising his head.
At this moment, she had already outlined half of the formation. The ink lines and gold powder were intertwined, and mysterious patterns were beginning to take shape.
Xie Yuan took a closer look and saw that the formation seemed familiar to him, given his superior formation skills.
It is indeed somewhat similar to the teleportation circle that Mu Chaoyun made before.
It's just that Mu Chaoyun's formation is more delicate and complex, with many gemstones and formation flags lining the middle, while Yunxing's formation is just some ink lines and special materials, and the lines are more rough and simple, as if there is a desolation. The breath of it is contained in it.
Xie Yuan said:
"I didn't expect you to know how to use formations? Is this the way to get in and out of the Zao Sect's main altar?"
Yunxing showed him carelessly, and just smiled and said:
"Of course it's not as good as your Mu family master, it's just a key.
"Haha, are you curious? Feel free to ask questions, especially after arriving at the Holy Cult. I will definitely answer everything I know. But the more you know, the more you know. Can you come out again..."
< br>
Yun Xing smiled, making Xie Yuan instantly wary.
"Hey, but men are all playboys. With the master's daughter and other women in mind, I don't know what the master will ask you this time."
After hearing Yun Xing's joking words, Xie Yuan's eyes suddenly shrank and he said cautiously:
"Did she say that?"
"I never said that."
Yunxing blinked:
"But I will remind her that this is the duty of a subordinate."
Xie Yuan took a breath immediately and said in a gentle tone:
"Envoy Yun Zun..."
"Hey, stop it, I'm hard to bribe."
Yunxing shook his finger and said with a smile.
Xie Yuan looked hesitant:
"Envoy Yun, for the sake of me coming to help you..."
"I am my master's most loyal subordinate, and I will never succeed. Unless——"
Yunxing drew out his voice.
Xie Yuan asked subconsciously:
"Unless what?"
"Unless."
Yunxing blinked his purple eyes:
"You also make me yours, so naturally I don't dare to seek death!"
Xie Yuan suddenly looked stiff:
"Envoy Yun, is this fun?"
"It's fun."
Yunxing smiled:
"Drawing formations is very boring."
She didn't say anything more and continued to sketch.
Xie Yuan looked at Yun Xing squatting on the ground. Although he knew she was joking, he couldn't help but keep a close eye on her.
The Saint came to him naturally not because she admired what an incredible young man he was. I am afraid that her achievements were nothing in the eyes of the Saint of the Zao Cult, the Princess of Pingxi, and the Grand Master with the most terrifying reputation. .
It can only be because of his relationship with Situ Qin.
And since this is the reason, the relationship between Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun must be a bit unpleasant in Situ Wan's eyes. Although Xue Minghe was a hero back then and was awarded the title of King Pingxi, he had always been devoted to her and there was no scandal.
There is no need to doubt that Situ Wan doesn't know about it. Since she is paying attention to Xie Yuan, with her and the Yi Zao Cult's hands and eyes, the experience and relationship between Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun, which were not deliberately concealed in the first place, have definitely fallen into her eyes. . After all, when Xie Yuan first became famous and entered Chunyu Tower's sight, he was with Mu Chaoyun.
Xie Yuan tightened his vest and said to himself:
"She is a big shot and a great master, so she shouldn't care about this little problem. Well, after all, for such a legendary figure, with her size, probably, maybe, maybe..."
It's impossible not to care, as a mother.
Thinking of Situ Wan's reputation, Xie Yuan silently put away his luck and began to retreat.
"The painting is finished!"
At this moment, Yun Xingka finished setting up the formation as if he was better, and a vast and primitive small teleportation formation appeared in the room.
She opened the door, took a few small animals from the farmers waiting outside, then squinted and said:
"We have to do something, please stay away."
"Okay, okay."
As the old farmer left the courtyard, he murmured to himself that young people today are too open-minded.
Xie Yuan watched Yunxing close the door again, and then placed the turtle in the north of the array, the hen in the south, a small snake with an arm length in the east, and the kitten in the west.
Several small animals landed on the ground, and the formation instantly glowed, covering them all. No matter how they fluttered, they could not escape the small distance.
Xie Yuan understood now and said a little unbelievably:
"Is this the four-image formation?"
"Correct answer."
Yunxing smiled, then her expression suddenly turned dull:
"Are you ready?"
Xie Yuan saw that the matter had come to this, and had no other thoughts. He just took one last look at the things on his body.
The dragon soul was wrapped in cloth and defeated behind his back, with a sword hidden in his sleeve and all his armor, so he nodded:
"Let's go."
He stepped into the formation, then Yunxing waved his hand, and the formation suddenly lit up with colorful light, covering up the two figures.
The four small animals acting as mythical beasts neighed at the same time, and then gradually solidified in the light.
The formation's brilliance flowed, suddenly erupted, and disappeared in a flash, and then there were no more two figures in the middle.
The ink and gold threads that made up the lines of the formation lost their luster, and a gust of wind came from somewhere in the room. These lines, as well as the small animals that had turned into stone statues, were all turned into powder by the wind, and were blown out of the window without even a trace. Nothing left.
……
When Xie Yuan opened his eyes again, there was a round platform built with three steps at his feet, and not far away in front of him was a city.
There was no name plaque on the tall tower. Xie Yuan squinted at it, unable to see where it was, and then lowered his head to look into the city.
The streets are full of people, vendors are hawking along the streets, horses and carriages are passing by from time to time, and the passers-by are dressed no differently than Chen Jun.
It looks like a rather wealthy medium-sized city.
Xie Yuan was a little puzzled. After a long time of arranging it, where did this come from? Could it be that the Zaojiao General Forum is still near this city and will eventually follow the old path he envisioned?
He looked at Yunxing who had started to move forward next to him, and asked in a low voice:
"Envoy Yun, which state is this? Well, that's all. If it's not convenient to tell you, just pretend I haven't asked."
"What's the inconvenience? It's okay."
Yunxing smiled, walked to the city gate, turned around and looked at Xie Yuan:
"This is the Holy Religion."
Xie Yuan looked at this city, which was no different from other places, and was startled for a moment. He saw that everyone passing by him silently saluted Yunxing before leaving, and many people's eyes were already staring at him, covertly and covertly, and his expression suddenly changed. change.
Is this entire city owned by the Zao Sect?
In other words, the Zao Sect's altar is actually so big that it has the size of a city? But where is this?
Yunxing looked at Xie Yuan's many expressions that turned instantly and said with a smile:
“Welcome to ‘Tianwaitian’.”
Heaven outside the sky?
Xie Yuan's heart moved and he looked up instantly.
All I could see was that the sky was foggy, and a sun could be vaguely seen behind the clouds. However, it was much smaller than usual, and it seemed that it was not even as big as the moon.
Xie Yuan has the body of a warrior, with profound internal strength and is immune to cold and heat. I didn't realize it at first, but then I realized that the temperature here was much lower than other places, and the passers-by were all dressed in thick winter clothes, even though it was already the season when flowers were in full bloom.
Before Xie Yuan could speak, he suddenly heard a majestic voice beside the city gate saying:
"Envoy Yun, are you bringing outsiders in?"
Xie Yuan turned around and saw a majestic figure whose whole body was wrapped in armor and whose face could not be seen clearly.
The man was a head taller than Xie Yuan and walked out. He was wearing heavy armor and holding a broadsword like a door panel. His eyes behind the visor were fixed on Xie Yuan, revealing a strong sense of oppression.
This person is not a master, but he is very powerful.
Xie Yuan's muscles tensed subconsciously, and he couldn't help but grasp the Jiao Hun behind him, ready for a fight.
Yunxing looked at the armored man, and his relaxed expression suddenly dropped, becoming calm and deep:
"Does Commander Lei have any opinions on the sincere people I brought who want to join the religion?"
Commander Lei glanced at Yunxing, then looked at Xie Yuan, and said in a loud voice:
"This person, does he want to join the religion?"
"Not bad."
Yunxing narrowed his eyes and nodded.
Commander Lei’s armor trembled:
"I don't think so. Ambassador Yun, in case you are deceived by a traitor, you should let me interrogate him." After saying that, he took a big step and was about to take it to Xie Yuan.
As soon as Xie Yuan grasped his hand firmly, he was about to shake off the special cloth wrapped around the dragon soul, but saw a dazzling purple lightning appear in front of him.
Yunxing's purple long sword slashed out suddenly and struck directly on the ground, sparking dazzling electric sparks that hit Commander Lei's armor and made a crackling sound.
Commander Lei's body was filled with red blood that almost became a substance, blocking out all the electric fire.
He stopped and looked solemnly at Yunxing. If he hadn't stepped in time just now, this sword without any hesitation would have directly cut off the sole of his foot.
Yunxing's purple makeup is no longer charming at this time, but shows mystery and majesty:
"Lei Xianlun, I don't need you to teach me how to do things. If I do it again, I will definitely kill you."
Commander Lei stared at Yunxing and was silent for a long time. Then he took back his steps among the passers-by who had gathered several layers around him and bowed:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was Lei who offended me. Please come in."
He moved out of the way, allowing Xie Yuan and Yun Xing to enter the city.
Yun Xing glanced at him coldly, then sheathed her long sword and led Xie Yuan into the city.
Xie Yuan felt that Commander Lei behind him had been staring at him, and there was evil, ferocity, and even murderous intent in his eyes.

Xie Yuan suddenly turned around and glanced at Lei Xianlun.
Lei Xianlun's eyes suddenly focused, and he was looking at Xie Yuan, when he saw him turning back casually, as if he was just looking at himself.
There was a hint of confusion on his face behind his visor.
He didn't feel any real oppression in this gaze.
However, Lei Xianlun felt that the heavy armor on his body seemed to be thinner, and he seemed to be naked under his gaze.
Xie Yuan followed Yun Xing into the city, then turned left and right, turned into an alley, and entered a rather small mansion.
Amid the greetings from the servants, Xie Yuan and Yun Xing entered a quiet room and sat opposite each other.
"I didn't expect that the Zao Sect General Altar is no different from the city outside. There are so many believers living here, and there is such a huge city."
Xie Yuan said.
Many people have speculated that the Zao Cult should be hidden deep in some unknown ancient ruins, and perhaps its scale is not small.
But it wasn't until Xie Yuan came to this outer world that he realized that the scale was much more than small.
Xie Yuan deliberately said that it was as huge as a city, but for the people of a city to live normally, there would be more than one city here, and it would not be just one city in size.
Perhaps, the secret realm of the Zao Sect General Altar has continued from generation to generation, and it has become like a country.
Just as Yunxing was about to answer his words, the sky suddenly became brighter, and she could feel it even in the quiet room.
She suddenly showed a pious expression, then knelt down on her knees, looked up at the sky, and made a dance gesture with mysterious rhythms in front of her body with her arms, like waves and flames.
Xie Yuan raised his brows and looked out the window, only to find that the sun, which was unknown how far away at first, seemed to be right above his head and became extremely huge. All he could see was a sea of fire burning the entire sky, as if it was about to engulf this place. !
Xie Yuan was startled and stood up.
However, in front of this Tianwei, let alone a warrior of the Third Transformation Realm, even if he is a Grandmaster or even a Great Grandmaster, I am afraid it will have no effect.
But the next moment he felt that although the temperature had risen, it didn't feel like burning anything, it was just like a hot summer day.
The sea of fire that burned the entire sky only lasted for a moment before receding, and the sky returned to its usual appearance.
Xie Yuan noticed that the prostrate servants in the courtyard stood up one after another, and Yunxing in front of him also sat down again, and couldn't help but secretly speculate:
"Is this a unique vision of this secret realm? At this time, believers have to kneel down?"
It is not difficult to imagine that people were probably kneeling on the ground just now in the crowded streets.
Yunxing looked solemn:
"The divine fire swept across the sky, one step closer to the light of the world."
Xie Yuan looked at Yunxing's appearance and felt quite uncomfortable.
She has always appeared in front of Xie Yuan with a mysterious, powerful and charming image. She has no regard for secular etiquette and rules, and looks like a lawless witch.
However, now that Yunxing was so solemn and pious, Xie Yuan remembered that this was not some anti-bone pioneer, but a cult leader.
But the next moment Yunxing returned to "normal" - the normal that Xie Yuan thought before, but maybe that moment was her original appearance.
"Envoy Yun, can you tell me now how you want me to help?"
Xie Yuan asked.
Yunxing looked at him and smiled, but did not answer:
"What do you think of the gatekeeper just now?"
"You're not that old. Although you're not a grandmaster, you're very strong."
Xie Yuan nodded slowly:
"Maybe similar to you."
Yunxing took a sip and said disdainfully:
"I can chop him with one hand.
"Lei Xianlun is a descendant of the Lei family, one of the three great families in Tianwaitian."
Xie Yuan's expression moved slightly:
"Is there still a family inheritance here?"
However, considering the scale of this place, it is normal for families to form within the sect.
Yunxing nodded calmly:
"The Holy Religion has been passed down for more than ten thousand years? It has always been continuous and has already had its own way of survival. It can be passed on even if it is not connected to the outside world."
Xie Yuan nodded slightly.
After seeing the scene here, he finally understood why the Zao Sect could never be eradicated even if it declined. As long as the Great Rear Area of Heaven and Earth exists, the Zao Sect will always exist. In history, I have never heard of a few people attacking the Zao Sect's altar.
Xie Yuan clearly thought that this method of entry was not complicated, so how could it have never been discovered?
However, the environment here is so strange, there must be something he doesn't know about.
Yunxing continued:
"Lei Xianlun will be our enemy this time."
Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows but did not interrupt.
"Besides him, there is also Beitang Yue, a descendant of the Beitang family, one of the three families, who is also the fire envoy."
Yunxing's face was a little solemn:
"The Beitang family and the Lei family have always been close allies. Beitang Yue and Lei Xianlun are still cousins. They will go together in this ceremony. Beitang Yue also has a cousin, Bei Tangyue, the son of the head of the Beitang family. Tang Chong is no less powerful than Lei Xianlun. These two are the guardians of Feng Huo."
Xie Yuan heard a general outline:
"So this ceremony is for the young people in your church to compete with each other and compete for ranking?"
Yunxing nodded, then shook his head:
"So to speak.
"This ceremony is about climbing the Holy Mountain. Whoever reaches the top first to obtain the Holy Fire will be the winner and will be baptized by the Holy Fire by a big figure in the church.
"Everyone who is qualified to participate in the ceremony can bring a fire protector, that is, a companion. If the status of the four envoys is respected, they can bring two people.
"If the winner's fire protector is still alive, he can also enjoy the baptism of the holy fire. Therefore, although the Beitang family and the Lei family still have quotas, they have formed the strongest team with Beitang Yue and are ready to win this ceremony.
"So if you help me win the championship, in addition to the things you want to know, the benefits will be indispensable to you.
"However, this is not a competition. The rituals in the sect always involve blood. Both I and Beitang Yue may die. If we can't win, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to walk down the Holy Mountain alive."
Hearing this, Xie Yuan suddenly became a little solemn.
It can be seen from the rules that the four envoys indeed receive preferential treatment and have an extraordinary status even in the Zao Sect.
However, even with such a status, there is only an extra layer of protection in this kind of ceremony. You will still die, which is enough to show that this fight is very bloody.
And the benefits of the ritual that allows them to compete like this, the baptism of holy fire, are self-evident.
But it's equally dangerous.
"So I'm here to be your bodyguard, and you think highly of me."
Xie Yuan looked at Yunxing and asked:
"Where's your other firebender?"
Yunxing shook his head:
"Only you."
"Just me?"
Xie Yuan was suddenly surprised.
Yunxing looked calm:
"I come from a low-class family in Tianwaitian. I have no family members to rely on and no friends I can trust. The Lei family and the Beitang family are very powerful. I'm afraid that everyone else in the church will be affected by the Beitang family and the Lei family. A knife in the back at a critical moment is worse than not taking it.”
Xie Yuan looked Yunxing up and down and clicked his tongue:
"I thought that Ambassador Yun had such a high status in your sect, but I just realized that something was wrong. I was in such a situation. I thought I came in to rely on your big tree to enjoy the shade, but I didn't expect that I would have to face the real lush foliage in the sect. The big tree.”
Yunxing’s expressionless face:
"Instead of being sarcastic, Mr. Xie should think about how to help me deal with those people."
Xie Yuan smiled, feeling that he understood why Yunxing was a rebel leader and hated the family even more than himself.
From the outside, she saw that the aristocratic family was monopolizing resources, but within this sect, she was the one being bullied. No wonder she hated the big family so much. With four envoys vying for position, it sounds like her situation may be extremely bad.
But why did he get on this pirate ship?
From that, Lei Xianlun could see that the enemy was extremely extraordinary. Bei Tangyue, the Fire Maker, would definitely not lose to the Fire Maker and Fire Maker, Yunxing. Others also had an extra helper to help the family achieve great things.
Xie Yuan hissed and asked:
"Can I go home now?"
"No."
Yunxing said coldly.
Xie Yuan sighed:
"Then let's talk about their characteristics and their strong enemies."
Yunxing couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes when he saw that although he looked troubled, he didn't show fear or fear.
He had seen Lei Xianlun's strength, but he didn't seem to... particularly care?
Yunxing's expression changed, and he nodded:
"Okay, I will explain it clearly to you..."
The two of them discussed in detail in the quiet room, discussing the details of the ceremony to seize the fire from the Holy Mountain, the characteristics of the three strong men on the fire-bending side, and the information of several other strong men who participated in the ceremony.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Xie Yuan discovered that there are indeed many strong people in the Zao Sect. There are actually so many strong people at the peak of the Three Transformations Realm, and these are only those who are qualified.
The enemy is very powerful, especially the group of three people on Beitangyue's side, who should be the strongest force.
And it happened that they were the most hostile to Yunxing, and the gap between the two sides was extremely huge. Xie Yuan and Yunxing were under considerable pressure.
But they also have advantages here.
That is Xie Yuan.
This time Xie Yuan came in disguised with the Heavenly Hidden Technique. The opponent did not know his identity, nor did he know his level of strength and skills, which was a huge variable.
In fact, in many places in this city, people have been analyzing the strength of all parties in the competition for three days. Although the Zao Sect is large, it is also closed, and everyone knows each other's ins and outs.
Only Xie Yuan, who was found by Yun Xing, could not figure out the details at all.
Three days later.
Xie Yuan was led by Yun Xing to the foot of a high mountain outside the city. He looked at the mountain with fire almost everywhere and raised his eyebrows.
Is it still a flaming mountain?
Standing in front of the Flame Sacred Mountain, he felt the aura around him was like a mountain, and the experts were like clouds, but they all stared at him invariably.
Xie Yuan felt that it was quite hot here. (End of chapter)
