The setting sun was as red as blood, casting the last ray of red-gold light on the barren Gobi Desert.
The wind whistled past, carrying sand and gravel, like an ancient whisper, echoing among the rugged rock walls.
Lu Qing'an brought the red-haired middle-aged man here through teleportation. When he stepped on the cracked ground, his black robe fluttered in the wind.
He looked up and saw a towering black cliff rising from the horizon ahead. The cliff wall was covered with mottled ancient runes, which glowed dark red in the setting sun, like solidified blood.
"This is it." The red-haired middle-aged man next to him said, his voice as hoarse as sandblasted.
His red hair and beard danced wildly in the wind like burning flames, and his eagle eyes, sharp as knives, stared intently at the deep crevice at the foot of the cliff.
That is the entrance to the secret realm created by their Phoenix clan after they came to this fairyland.
The crack was only about ten feet wide, but it was bottomless. Pitch-black fog was swirling at the entrance of the cave, sometimes condensing into a hideous ghost face, and sometimes dispersing into twisted tentacles.
A faint shrill scream came from the depths, but was instantly torn apart by the wind.
They made this place extremely desolate. There used to be a lot of things here, but in order to prevent too many people from getting close to this place, they removed many things, so that they could better control who came here.
Lu Qing'an followed the red-haired middle-aged man and flew into the crack of the mountain, where there was a powerful formation.
It is no longer the tenth-grade immortal level, but the holy source level!
Lu Qing'an only took a glance and discovered that this formation contained a large number of Heavenly Dao array patterns.
If you want to break this formation, it will probably require a peak-level Origin Realm expert to come and open it.
Even stronger people have to come.
This is also one of the reasons why the Phoenix Clan is not afraid of any mistakes here.
And even though it is some distance away from here, the red-haired middle-aged man has been monitoring the situation here through the formation for many years, for fear that there will be problems with the formation itself, and then someone will enter the secret realm and disrupt their layout.
After all, the passage inside is related to whether their descendants can return to the holy land.
The red-haired middle-aged man took out something and easily opened the formation. The entire crack in the mountain suddenly overlapped, and Lu Qingan and the red-haired middle-aged man appeared in a wonderful space.
In this space, there is nothing but a fiery red door.
It is the entrance gate to the secret realm.
The middle-aged man with red hair stepped forward and touched the door with his hand. It took him about ten breaths to open the door.
It is simply a double insurance. Even if someone discovers the formation here, opens the formation here, and enters here, they cannot open the forbidden door, enter the secret realm, and touch the entrance to the holy land.
After all, the heaviness of this forbidden gate gave Lu Qing'an the feeling that it was much stronger than the forbidden gate that led to the Phoenix clan's ruins.
After the forbidden door was opened, the red-haired middle-aged man took the lead and entered, not forgetting to call Lu Qing'an.
Lu Qing'an came as a consciousness puppet this time, so he was not afraid of any danger and directly followed into the forbidden gate.
The scene before their eyes suddenly opened up, and they found themselves in a strange and mysterious place.
This secret place is like a small world, with beautiful mountains, clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers.
There are no special buildings or mountains. It looks like an ordinary little secret place that cannot be more normal.
After the two entered this secret realm, Lu Qing'an saw several formations suddenly rising nearby.
They are all Holy Source-level formations!
There are both offensive and defensive formations.
The red-haired middle-aged man took a step forward and said a few words, and the formations disappeared the next moment.
It can be seen that the Phoenix clan has indeed done a lot of homework to prevent anyone from entering here and destroying the passage to the holy land.
"Come on, follow me." The red-haired middle-aged man said with a smile.
Lu Qing'an smiled and nodded, following the red-haired middle-aged man.
The red-haired middle-aged man took Lu Qing'an and flew to the left, then stopped at the top of a hill. He turned his eyes very quickly, as if he was looking for something, and his expression was extremely serious.
"No! Why is it gone?!"
As soon as the red-haired middle-aged man said this, Lu Qing'an, who was following behind him, suddenly stopped laughing.
What's the meaning?
Gone?!
That's not right. Xu Qingying didn't sense any inescapable danger and seemed very calm. That meant they couldn't be trapped in this fairyland. That was why he wasn't in such a hurry to come here to check the passage to the holy land that the red-haired middle-aged man mentioned.
"Senior, is there something wrong? Did you remember the location wrong?" Lu Qing'an asked with a frown.
The red-haired middle-aged man's face was extremely ugly. He said, "I can't possibly remember the location wrong! It's right here! It's just a small black hole the size of a finger. Help me find it!"
Lu Qing'an looked around, then stared straight at the red-haired middle-aged man without any movement.
"Huh? Go look for it! Aren't you in a hurry?" The red-haired middle-aged man frowned and asked when he saw Lu Qing'an not moving.
Lu Qingan said, "Senior, are you kidding me? When you came in here, you chose an extremely desolate area, set up formations and sealed gates, and used all kinds of tricks. I don't believe that there are no special formations or special signs near your passage. You brought me here just to tease me and see how anxious I am, right?"
The red-haired middle-aged man blinked after hearing this, and suddenly smiled crookedly: "You kid is still too smart and not fun."
Lu Qingan: “…”
This guy really has a bad taste.
"Let's go, don't waste time. I still need to practice hard and integrate the laws." Lu Qing'an said.
The red-haired middle-aged man nodded: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, but I have to say you, you have been too busy practicing recently. When you have time, take a break and have some fun. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
He just wanted to play a joke on Lu Qingan.
Lu Qingan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I feel I'm in good condition."
"That's fine, come with me." The red-haired middle-aged man took Lu Qing'an and flew directly to the center of the secret realm.
When they arrived at the center of the secret realm, a tall altar appeared before their eyes. Surrounding the altar were four stone statues of phoenixes, and above each of the statues was a formation.
Each stone phoenix statue contains a powerful aura, as if as long as an enemy approaches, the stone statue will come alive and coordinate with the four formations to annihilate the enemy here.
When Lu Qing'an saw this configuration, he felt that the red-haired middle-aged man was not joking with him this time, and the passage to the holy land should be here.
But just as he finished thinking this, the next moment, the red-haired middle-aged man suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed: "No! What happened! Why is it gone?!"
The red-haired middle-aged man quickly ran onto the altar, but did not trigger the attacks of the stone statues and the formation. He stood on it, looked around, and saw that there was nothing in the void, feeling confused.
Lu Qing'an was silent.
Senior, are you kidding me again?
