Heaven-defying Phoenix

"It doesn't seem to be dangerous."    

Jiu Muli entered the castle, hearing everyone's exclamations, his heart sank.    

Everyone thought that this was another castle in Blood Evil Secret Realm, but she knew that it was different. This was because in the outside world, she had seen it with her own eyes.    

It was different from the small castle she had just entered. The interior of the palace was surrounded by a fiery red color, and even the surrounding walls were made of an unknown material.    

Directly in front of them was an empty hall. The hall was very spacious, and was even bigger than the ones they saw outside. It was comparable to several football fields.    

However, although the hall was spacious, it was not empty. There were rows and rows of red stone men. These stone men did not have any vitality, just like filled statues.    

"Changtian and the rest are so fast!"    

At this time, someone exclaimed in shock. Jiu Muli also stopped thinking about it and looked forward.    

There were three passageways that led to the deepest parts of the hall. They were all unusual, consisting of iron chains, one below the bridge, two above the railing, and one below the bridge.    

At this time, Changtian, Situ Kunyu and the others, each chosen a path, stepped on the iron chains, and quickly headed deeper.    

"It definitely won't be that easy." When the Blacky saw this, he grumbled unhappily.    

The moment the Blacky's voice fell, all three tunnels suddenly burst into flames. The scorching high temperature and crimson-colored flames rose from the chains and even burned the entire chain until it was red.    

Ah!    

Accompanying the change, many cultivators with weaker cultivations were immediately set ablaze by this flame and burned to ashes while screaming in pain.    

"Who said such unlucky words just now!"    

Following the change in events, everyone's face changed. Some of the people who heard Blacky's words started spitting fire in their eyes, while looking around, wanting to find the crow's beak.    

But at this time, Blacky seemed to know that the joke was a little big and he immediately shut his mouth.    

"F * ck, this jinx."    

Jiu Muli did not know what to say, but his expression became extremely strange.    

Because as that strange flame rose, she also felt a familiar feeling. Even the The Blood of God was jumping, as if there was something she was most familiar with inside that was summoning her.    

"Sis, Sis, they're calling me, hurry up and go over there." The Nine-colored Lotus was excited and urged Jiu Muli.    

"I know, don't worry."    

Jiu Muli's heart trembled, but he did not dare rashly proceed forward.    

The flames on the tunnel became more and more strange, especially as they went deeper in. They even became a sea of fire, making it impossible to see what was at the end of the tunnel.    

At this moment, the light from the flames soared into the sky, like a sea of flames from hell, stopping all cultivators. Many of those who had stepped foot into the tunnel retreated, and those who did not stopped in shock, feeling indecisive. There were many cultivators whose bodies were drenched in blood, burnt to ashes by the thick flames.    

They had followed Chang Tian all the way, and had entered into an area devoid of people. However, even with Chang Tian's cultivation, he had not been able to protect them.    

At this moment, Chang Tian was also in danger. His speed was too fast and he moved the deepest. He was surrounded by red clouds. The flames were too fierce, and even his clothes were burnt to a crisp.    

"Rise!"    

The long sky roared, the golden glow s all over, the divine dragon roared, competing with the light of the fire, the golden light spread out, forming a barrier, protecting the remaining cultivators inside, but he was still very passive, because the flames were everywhere, even with his cultivation level protecting him, he was still unable to resist, and could not move an inch.    

"All of you retreat!"    

In the end, Changtian had no choice but to let the others retreat and began to advance on their own.    

Situ Kunyu was the same as him, he also made his followers retreat and walked along the tunnel alone. However, his speed was also full, making him appear to be extremely cautious.    

However, what made Jiu Muli surprised was that his senior brother Lou Chongxiao's speed was faster than Chang Tian and Situ Kunyu's, but he was also very cautious.    

"What the hell is this place?"    

Inside the hall, everyone was trembling with fear. Even the three experts at the late stage of Star King Stage found it difficult to continue their adventure.    

However, right at this moment, a loud sound reverberated throughout the entire palace. Soon after, everyone discovered that the door at the back of the hall had suddenly closed.    

"Not good, the door is closed."    

"We can't get out."    

The crowd discovered, and immediately turned pale with fright, that the door behind them, which was initially wide open, had suddenly produced a barrier, which was like a gate, and sealed the entire hall.    

Some people tried to attack, but the door remained unmoving.    

"How could this be?"    

Everyone's expression changed completely as they had a bad premonition.    

Jiu Muli's heart also sunk, he felt that this palace seemed to have a plan, it wanted to capture everyone.    

Boom!    

In the next moment, a flame lit up. Accompanied by a monstrous boom, an enormous red stone tablet landed in the center of the hall.    

"No return, no return!"    

The rune on the stone tablet flickered, and sketched out a line of words. The words were slightly different from the words written on the Three Mortal Heavens, but everyone could understand the meaning behind it after taking a look.    

"Hiss, what does that mean?"    

"Could it be that this place can only go forward and there is no other way out?"    

Everyone looked at the stone stele, and their expressions changed greatly. If this was true, then they would have no other choice but to walk through three tunnels. Otherwise, they would be trapped to death.    

"It can't be that ruthless, right? Wouldn't we have to throw our lives away like that?"    

Moreover, over the years, the Blood Evil Secret Realm had been activated many times, and although it had been accompanied by danger, it had also lost many people. However, this was, after all, a place where cultivators had obtained opportunities, and there were still nine deaths and a lifetime left for them to live.    

Jiu Muli's face was also ugly, but his heart skipped a beat, because the words on the stone tablet were actually the same as the words he had seen in the Huangquan Mansion, very ancient.    

"Should I give it a try?"    

She hesitated. Although she had the bloodline's reaction, she did not dare to be careless. The passageway was simply too strange. Even Changtian and the others could not withstand it, much less her.    

"Little Lotus, can you protect me?"    

Jiu Muli asked the Nine-colored Lotus.    

"I can't. Those flames are very strange and they restrain me. Right now, I am not that strong." The Nine-colored Lotus said honestly.    

"Then why did you let me go? I'm just sending myself to my death."    

Jiu Muli's face darkened. If he couldn't protect the Nine-colored Lotus, wouldn't he be courting death if he went?    

"It's okay, Blood Evil Secret Realm only opens for seven days. When the time comes, we will automatically be announced. There are still six days left, at worst we can just wait here, but unfortunately, we won't have the chance to obtain those opportunities outside."    

Soon after, a daoist-robed man holding a horsetail whisk thoughtfully spoke, his words sobering everyone.    

This fellow had the demeanor of a transcendent immortal, with a clear and melodious appearance. As he spoke, he even pinched his fingers, seeming as if he was ready to strike the world at any moment.    

"Eh, you must be Gate of Heavenly Secrets's eldest senior brother Yu Bujin right? I, Liu San, greet Fellow Daoists."    

Someone recognized this fellow and respectfully greeted him.    

The Gate of Heavenly Secrets was extremely mysterious, especially in the prediction of danger, it was almost always accurate. His words caused the anxious cultivators to relax after hearing it, and in an instant, there were a lot of people surrounding the cultivator.    

"Senior brother Yu, can you help us see if we're in danger of perishing?"    

someone asked nervously.    

"Life and death, good and evil. Just think of it. If you want to die, you will die. If you don't want to die, you won't die." Yu Bujin laughed and spoke with a profound look.    

"Then is there any danger? How much can we survive?" Someone asked, clearly not believing that nonsense.    

"So many."    

Yu Bujin said as he extended three of his fingers.    

"What? Thirty percent?" Someone exclaimed.    

Yu Bujin laughed but did not say a word, acting full of himself.    

"It couldn't be three people, could it?"    

"Thirty people? Senior Brother Yu, please speak clearly.    

In that moment, everyone was confused by Yu Bujin's three fingers, but no matter how much they asked, Yu Bujin did not explain himself, but at the crucial moment, how could they just give up?    

In the end, Yu Bujin got annoyed by everyone. He made a calculation with his fingers and said: "Stellar Transposition, Universe, Universe, don't worry. Remember this: the most dangerous thing is the safest."    

The crowd was helpless, but there was nothing they could do.    

Jiu Muli looked at Yu Bujin with a stupefied face. Even though she did not recognize that b * stard, that words sounded strange no matter how she listened to them, it was simply nonsense. She really wanted to say, Fire at the same time, let's see if you are safe!    

"How can it be that simple? I think he'll probably force us to move forward."    

Just then, the Blacky stabbed him again, his voice flat as he spoke. This time, in order to not attract attention, the Bitch Bird flew to a corner using its cultivation, and then flew straight to Jiu Muli's shoulder. It was so cheap that it looked like a complete mess.    

"Who is it? Can you stop speaking nonsense?"    

When the Blacky opened his mouth, many people were angered, and many people turned their heads to look, but they could not do anything as the speed of the Blacky was too fast. Furthermore, as a Crabapple, if they were to retract their Qi, they would be like dead beings, and no one knew who it was.    

"Be more obedient, do you want to return to the pet bag?" Jiu Muli could not bear to see this any longer.    

"Master, I just don't like that bastard, he's simply the next-biggest idiot in the world. Who do you think he is, hmph, the master doesn't say a word, when did this ant turn around to clamor? Don't you know how to say that, he knows how to calculate, how could you not tell that your master is a genius among tens of thousands …" Blacky kept on blabbering like he was eating a meal of Xuan Li's, trying to flatter Yue Yang, unable to stop at all.    

"Shut up!"    

Jiu Muli could not take it anymore. Even if her skin was thick enough, she felt her face burning.    

Crack!    

Crack!    

It was at this moment that a sound similar to the crack of a rock could be heard. Following which, everyone noticed that the entire hall had lit up with dazzling flames.    

"These statues are alive!"    

Everyone was shocked, and immediately followed up with an uproar.    

Because at this moment, the stone fragments of the statues standing in the great hall began to fall off, and their bodies began to emit raging flames as they slowly began to move.    

Puppet!    

Jiu Muli's face also changed, he did not expect that after the door closed, the sculptures following closely behind were actually still alive.    

It's to get us there, she thought.
