Looking at the surging and rolling magma under his feet, Shi Yi couldn't help feeling anxious.
Over ten days had passed since Su Rui set foot on Black Sand Island, yet no trace of him remained. According to the hexagram, Su Rui was not in immediate danger and was roughly located within the island. Therefore, Wu Qianqian, using the "Narrow Emperor to Command the Princes," ordered the Putuo Sect to search the entire Black Sand Island, but only this mysterious crypt remained unsearched.
The crypt was filled with underground fire and poisonous smoke, its power was incredibly fierce and overbearing. Without a creature born of fire, or without a rare treasure like Taiyin True Water that could subdue the underground fire, or a powerful defensive device like the Fragrant Cloud Treasure Cover, it would be difficult for anyone to remain in the underground fire and molten lava environment for long, let alone delve into it to search for the whereabouts of others. However, apart from the scorching magma deep in this crypt, Shi Yi's contemplation was inconclusive, and he could find no other possible hiding place for Su Rui!
The massive barrier formation on Black Sand Island, containing countless demons and ghosts, had already been forcibly broken by the Putuo Sect using the Four Sacred Beasts' Dharma images three days before Su Rui set foot on the island! Furthermore, the Putuo Sect even engaged in a fierce battle with the True Lord of Bones and the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings. However, this battle seemed rather hasty and sloppy; the Putuo Sect elders hadn't personally participated, and even the Sect Master hadn't appeared.
The actual participants in the battle were still the Four Sacred Beasts, formed from the convergence of four Daoist soldiers. Working closely together, they formed a formidable Four Symbols Formation, successfully trapping the White Bone Divine Monarch and the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings. The fierce clash lasted for half an incense stick, shattering the vast Black Mountain Island into three!
However, the Putuo Sect did not seem to have any intention of keeping these two evil monsters. When the White Bone God and the Five Ghost Kings used their magic weapons to break through the formation, they stopped chasing them and let them leave.
Of course, the Putuo Sect was the boss of the South China Sea Islands after all, so to save face, they issued a stern warning, ordering the two old monsters to leave the South China Sea Islands immediately, and declared that if they met again, the consequences would be disastrous! Of course, even if it was just a show, it was still a deterrent. After all, if the Putuo Sect didn't fight the two old monsters seriously next time they met, their prestige in the South China Sea Islands would probably plummet to the bottom of the sea.
After breaking the sealing formation of thousands of ghosts and demons, driving away the two old monsters of the evil path, and turning almost the entire Black Sand Island upside down in search of Su Rui's whereabouts, the Putuo Sect only left a small group of Taoist soldiers to guard the Black Sand Island and left without stopping.
Wu Qianqian threw a tantrum, trying to stay, but the Putuo Sect Master carried her back to the Small Southern Heaven Realm like a chicken. Despite this, she remained vehement and clamorous. Finally, Shi Yi offered some words of persuasion, promising to bring Su Rui to the Putuo Sect to visit her once matters were settled. Only then did Wu Qianqian calm down a bit.
Another day passed, and there was still no sign of Su Rui. Shi Yi, anxious, decided to venture deeper into the magma in search of clues. Cautiously, he descended into the scorching heat and violent energy fluctuations, struggling forward. However, after only a quarter of an hour, he could no longer withstand the scorching heat and was forced to retreat in dismay.
Seeing this, the commander of the Putuo Sect's Taoist troops remaining on Black Sand Island gritted his teeth and plunged into the lava to test its depth. As expected, he was nearly roasted by the underground fire, becoming a "delicacy." After this experience, he never dared to try again.
"Brother Shi, this underground fire is so powerful, can Brother Su really stay in there for so long?"
This Taoist leader had dark skin, a tall and slender figure, resembling a young, dark-skinned teenager. Their unit, known as the Black Water Snake Taoist Army, was capable of condensing the powerful dharma forms of the Howling Moon and Swallowing Sky Water Python. While not as formidable as the legendary Four Sacred Beasts, they were still a formidable force within the Putuo Sect and should not be underestimated.
"That kid has a fire ape incarnation, naturally drawn to fire and magma. Now the hexagram clearly indicates that he's still near Black Sand Island. I'm sure he's hiding in the underground fire beneath this magma!"
Shi Yi was kind to this black water snake Taoist soldier. Although the status of Taoist soldiers in the sect was not as high as that of formal disciples, this young Taoist soldier had a likable personality, was not very old, and had good cultivation. There was a high possibility that he would become a formal disciple of Putuo Sect in the future.
Just as the two were talking, suddenly, a powerful breath gushed out from the magma.
Looking up, they saw a huge black cloud, about half an acre in size, rising into the sky like a ferocious beast, rushing towards Shi Yi and the others with unparalleled power.
Facing such a powerful enemy, the young Taoist soldier showed no fear. Just as he was about to step forward to meet the enemy, Shi Yi, standing beside him, held out his hand to stop him. He showed no sign of anger, but simply said gently, "Let me do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly flashed and transformed into a gigantic, ferocious-looking ape. He exuded a terrifying aura, and his entire body was covered in a layer of dark, translucent water, as if he were wearing an indestructible armor.
Immediately afterwards, the Cangshui giant ape opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and suddenly slapped a giant net woven from black translucent water flow towards the half-acre black cloud composed of black flames and poisonous smoke.
Xuanming Qi has nothing to do with the water network!
This net is the innate water-based magical power of the Cangshui Giant Ape, and its power is extremely astonishing. Moreover, it can also evolve and upgrade into the Mysterious Dark One Qi Unrelated Lightning Net. Once this forbidden technique is unleashed, it is enough to easily destroy a towering mountain.
