A ruddy old man wearing a white daoist robe embroidered with a lifelike crane walked over and said.
Behind the old man were two young Daoists, all of whom looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years of age. They were all in the Qi Drawing Realm, and their eyes were wide with curiosity as they sized up Chen Fan and the others.
"I am the Great Elder of the Burning Flame Sect, Situ Chi. I also greet the disciples of the Five Elements Sect!" Another white-haired old man wearing a red robe embroidered with flames also came up and said in a clear voice.
"This old man is the leader of the Jadefallen Sect, Lu Yuan …"
"..."
Not long after, the surrounding hundreds of cultivators all came up to greet Chen Fan and the others.
Chen Fan roughly counted hundreds of sects that had gathered in the vicinity. Most of them were led by the head of the Yuxi Realm or an elder, followed by a few Qi Drawing Realm geniuses.
The Fire Dragon smiled back at these people who came up to greet him. Chen Fan also nodded in a symbolic manner. Lin Shaoyu stood to the side with an arrogant expression, not saying anything.
"Alright, since everyone is present, let's not delay the matter any further. I will now announce the official start of the Wing Demon Gathering!"
As the head of the Vajra Martial School spoke with a hearty laugh, his voice was like a thunderclap that everyone present could hear clearly.
Hearing this, all the cultivators stood together according to their sects, with Chen Fan and the other two standing in the middle of the group.
"Fellow Daoists, please come with me. This ruin is underneath this mountain. Wait for me to lead the way!"
With that, Kong Kim turned around and walked down the mountain. Hundreds of cultivators followed him in a majestic manner.
After a short while, they arrived at the foot of the mountain, in front of a spacious cave.
This cave was hidden at the foot of the mountain. It curved and extended into the mountain. At first glance, there was no light inside, so the bottom couldn't be seen.
At this moment, the mountain was surrounded by yellow sand. The visibility was not high. This cave was originally buried in the yellow sand. However, it was later discovered by the Iron Armor Gate and slowly dug open.
"After the discovery of this relic, we, the Steel Armored Gate, have also explored it. However, the inner cave has many twists and turns, which are way too complicated!" There were many caves and the bones of demonic beasts, demonic cores! In fact, there were even some who perished in the past and left behind bags of holding! "
Kong Kim explained while stroking his bald head. He paused for a moment before continuing,
"However, there are still many unexplored caves that contain dangers within. Fellow daoists, after entering, you must do what you can!" "No matter how much we reaped in the end, we will gather at the entrance of this cave in ten days. Otherwise, we will be considered dead once we are outdated!"
The crowd of cultivators looked at each other and gave their assent. Then, they were led by their respective sect elders or sect masters, entering in groups of twos and threes.
Waiting until almost everyone had left, the Fire Dragon lightly parted its red lips, and slowly said: "Let's go! Let's go in as well! "
With that said, the fire dragon took the lead and stepped into the cave. Chen Fan and Lin Shaoyu followed closely behind and entered the cave.
The moment Chen Fan entered the cave, he felt a cold wind blowing past him, causing his heart to clench.
It had to be known that he was already a cultivator at the peak of the Filling Realm. He was not far from the Bai Lian Realm, yet he felt cold. It was truly unusual.
At this moment, Chen Fan was standing inside the cave. He looked around and found that this cave was sixty degrees long. The width and height of the cave was originally only about thirty to forty feet, but the deeper he went into the cave, the wider it became.
The inner walls of the cave had been washed by the sand and wind all year round, making it very smooth. At the same time, there was a faint accumulation of sand and wind, causing the entire cave to appear very dry.
"Let's go!" This place belongs to the outer layer, and is pretty much explored by the iron gate. There are no longer any treasures to be found, so let's go down and take a look! "
The fire dragon spoke softly as she stretched out her hand. A fist-sized ball of flame instantly rose from her palm, illuminating the path ahead. As she spoke, she walked forward.
Chen Fan had also circulated all the spiritual energy in his body, entering a state of maximum vigilance. Not a single movement could hide from his eyes as he slowly followed Chen Fan.
As they went deeper and deeper into the cave, the cold wind also became colder and colder. In the end, Chen Fan had to fill his body with spiritual energy in order to dispel the cold.
On the way, they had walked at least a few thousand meters, and the caves had also split into countless forks. They had also seen countless cultivators from other sects begin to fight with the demon beasts here!
The demonic beast's form here was very unique. It was actually made entirely out of rocks. Aside from the blue flames burning in its eyes, its entire body didn't emit any life force.
During this period of time, there were already many disciples of the sects who were unaware that they had been injured by this kind of rock demon beast. Fortunately, they were protected by the Jade River Realm cultivators of the various sects, so they were not too injured.
However, as the Fire Dragon took them all the way down, it didn't stop at all. After passing through dozens of caves, they came across a few Qi Drawing Realm stone demon beasts, which were all beaten to death by Lin Shaoyu who was intentionally trying to show off.
"Senior apprentice sister Fire Dragon, I can see that you're shuttling in a specific direction. Could it be that you've already been here once? Is there a purpose for you to go there?"
Chen Fan followed along, discovering that Fire Dragons would often pass through dozens of caves. Without the slightest hesitation, he chose a route and asked in confusion.
"Junior brother Chen is indeed observant!" You're right, I did come here once when the Iron Armor Gate was excavating this relic! At that time, I found a mysterious cave here, but there is a seal at the entrance.
The Fire Dragon explained to Chen Fan while it illuminated the road ahead with the flame in its hand.
"No wonder! So you actually have taken a fancy to the effects of my 'Enlightenment' rune, and want me to help you remove the seal! "
Chen Fan nodded. He already understood the situation in his heart. However, he was also somewhat interested in the mysterious cave that the Fire Dragon had mentioned.
At this moment, Chen Fan estimated that they had already penetrated several thousand meters deep into the ground. However, the cave in front of them was still connected in every direction, as if there was no end to it.
"We're here, this is the place!"
The fire dragon suddenly called out in surprise, causing Chen Fan and Lin Shaoyu to look over. They saw that there was a cave in front of them that was different from what they had seen in the past. There was actually a faint blue light flashing inside!
"Junior brother, please help me break this seal!" The Fire Dragon turned its head and said in a soft voice. Under the flame in its hand, her appearance seemed to flicker, appearing increasingly alluring.
"Wait a minute. There is no need for this boy to act. I can break this seal!" When Lin Shaoyu saw the fire dragon calling out to Chen Fan, a sour expression immediately appeared on his face and he immediately shouted out.
Along the way, they hadn't encountered many powerful demon beasts. Because Lin Shaoyu didn't have the opportunity to show off his cultivation in front of the fire dragon, he was extremely dissatisfied. Now, how could he give up on such a good opportunity!
Chen Fan indifferently swept a glance at Lin Shaoyu, then stood to the side with his arms crossed. He did not fight with him, but rather waited to see what he would do next.
Huo Long frowned as he heard this, but he didn't say anything to stop Lin Shaoyu. He watched as Lin Shaoyu stepped forwards with a proud expression on his face, his cultivation at the Heavenly Dipper Realm exploding forth.
He took out a storage bag and three small golden swords that were hanging in the air. Between these three small swords, there seemed to be a faint golden lightning bolt connecting them. It looked very extraordinary!
