Chapter 278: Elder Li of Chihuoshan Mountain

"Sure enough, we are not the only ones who came to explore the way ahead. There are others coming as well."

Lu Yuan stood in a hidden place, looking at the hundreds of practitioners in the mountains. Each of these people had a strong aura, and most of them were in the Nascent Soul stage, with some in the Spiritual Refining stage as well. They were obviously the top figures from all the major forces in Dongzhou.

These people visited Shuangdi Ridge at night, obviously coming for the strange fire. Long Jiutian asked beside them, "Brother, do you want to take action? Although there are more than a hundred people, most of these cultivators are in the Nascent Soul stage, and there are only a few in the Refined Void stage. If we take action, we can take them down."

Lu Yuan shook his head: "What's the point of taking them down? We have no grudges against them, what's the benefit of killing them? It's unnecessary to waste time and effort, and it's not bad to let them explore the way for us first."

Lu Yuan rejected Long Jiutian’s suggestion. It was useless to capture these people. He just had to wait and see.

There was silence in the Shuangdi Ridge, except for the huge abyss left by the battle between the powerful Mahayana masters in the deep valley.

The abyss lies across the canyon, it is bottomless and no one knows how deep it is, but one can feel the high temperature coming up from it before even going down.

The practitioners who arrived here early are talking.

"Elder Li, I didn't expect that people from your Red Fire Mountain are here too. Are you also interested in this strange fire?"

"Nonsense, who doesn't want a strange fire? If you don't want it, why did you come here? You're asking such nonsense."

The elder Li from Chihuoshan was obviously a man with a bad temper, and the two teams obviously knew each other.

"Stop talking nonsense. We all came to explore the Twin Emperors Gorge at night for the strange fire, so let's not waste any more time. Who will go down first? Please go ahead."

A Lianxu man spoke, and got straight to the point.

All the people who came here at this moment are here for the strange fire. They want to get the strange fire in the Shuangdi Gorge in advance. In this case, there is nothing to say. The strange fire is under the abyss, and anyone who wants to take it can do so.

After this person spoke, several people who were just speaking in the God Transformation and Void Refining stages stopped talking.

More than a hundred people came here, all for the strange fire. No one wanted to be the first to stand out. After all, they all knew that they were definitely not the first group of practitioners to arrive here early.

Other people must have come before. After all, the news of Dongzhou's strange fire has been around for some time, and the big forces in Dongzhou must have tried it earlier, but there must be something wrong if the strange fire has not been taken away in advance.

They came here just to test the waters, but didn't want to be the first to take action, so they all wanted others to go first.

After a while of hesitation, the hot-tempered Chihuoshan Elder Li was the first to lose his temper. He cursed, "What a bunch of cowards. No one dares to come down after such a long delay. Move aside. If no one else dares to come, I'll go first."

This Elder Li has a high level of cultivation. He is a Void Refining cultivator. He is skilled and courageous, and he looks down on his fellow practitioners present. There are so many people here, and anyone who dares to go down first is just a coward.

Elder Li snorted coldly, took a step forward, and a ball of flames rose up around him.

His flames were white in color, with a hint of chilliness emanating from them, and the flames were like black ice.

It is somewhat similar to Yao Xuan's Xuanbing Cold Fire, but Xuanbing Cold Fire is a strange fire. The origin of its flame is more than a thousand times stronger than the origin of the flame in Elder Li of Chihuo Mountain. Naturally, the two cannot be compared.

It should be just the same attribute. Elder Li of the Void Refining Realm, wrapped in white ice and fire, is ready to go deep into the abyss.

Someone was trying to stop them in the Red Fire Mountain.

"Elder Li, no, we don't have to be the first to go down."

"Yeah, it's better to be careful."

The cultivators such as Chihuoshan knew that Elder Li had an impatient personality, so they immediately advised him that there was no need to be a guinea pig.

Elder Li said, "It's OK. Someone has to go down first. If they don't dare, I won't. Besides, I won't go deep. I'll just go down to take a look and come back up. There's no danger."

After saying this, Elder Li jumped into the abyss.

…

“It’s very dangerous!”

Lu Yuan sensed the aura in the abyss of Shuangdi Ridge and refuted the statement of Elder Li of Chihuoshan.

First, Lu Yuan’s soul is much more powerful than Elder Li’s, and his spiritual perception is several times that of Elder Li.

Second, Lu Yuan already has many kinds of strange fire in his body. He knows more about strange fire and is more sensitive to it than Elder Li.

He had just briefly explored the aura in the abyss. Through the resonance of the strange fire in his body and the strange fire in the Twin Emperors Ridge, he could feel that there were indeed two strange fires inside. However, the states of these two strange fires were now extremely unstable, and they were very active and violent.

There have been rumors in Dongzhou recently that the two strange fires are showing signs of fusion, but Lu Yuan just sensed it and it seems not to be as the rumors said. Instead, he felt it was more like the strange fires fighting and devouring each other.

When one side completely swallows up the other, it can also be considered a kind of fusion.

But mutual fusion and mutual devouring are two completely different concepts. The latter will be more violent, just like two mortal enemies on a life and death stage, about to decide life or death. If someone goes down to explore at this time, it goes without saying that it will be very dangerous.

When a strange fire devours something, it will burn its origin in a desperate fight, so it will be more terrifying than usual, especially when two strange fires are in the same place, the power will be even more terrifying.

This also explains why so many powerful people from major forces in Dongzhou were unable to take these two strange fires away in advance.

The two strange fires are burning their essence, especially in a local battle like the Twin Emperors Ridge, even if they combine their forces they may not be able to stop it. Moreover, there are others who are eyeing them covetously, so no one dares to act rashly.

Elder Li went down to test the situation without clarifying it clearly. I'm afraid he's in trouble.

As expected, not long after Elder Li of Chihuoshan went down, there was a big commotion below.

With a huge explosion, a ball of fire rushed up from the abyss. This ball of fire was Elder Li, but at this moment the layer of ice and fire that had just wrapped Elder Li's body had disappeared.

Instead, there were two flames of different colors, one purple and the other red.

These two flames were much more powerful than Elder Li's original ice and fire. They burned him into a fireball in an instant. Elder Li's face looked extremely ugly. He took great pains to put out the fire on his body, and it cost him half his life.

When the hundreds of people in Shuangdi Ridge saw this scene, their faces changed drastically.

The Red Fire Mountain is quite famous in Dongzhou, and Elder Li is no unknown figure in the Refining Void Realm. He paid such a huge price to explore the Twin Emperors Ridge. One can imagine how terrifying the two balls of strange fire below are.

The people from Chihuoshan quickly led Elder Li to the temple.

"Elder, are you okay?"

A Lianxu stepped forward and asked, "Daoyou, what's the situation down there?"

Elder Li said: "The flames are blazing, and the temperature is getting higher as you go down. The two strange fires are fighting and burning their origins. I am considered to be a fast runner, but even though I ran fast, I almost lost my body.

Forget it, this strange fire is too strong, and there are too many people coveting it. It is beyond the capacity of the Red Fire Mountain. Let's go."

Elder Li tried it himself and realized the danger. He thought for a moment and felt that although the strange fire was precious, it was known to everyone this time. If they really fought for it, it would be extremely brutal. Many top forces were eyeing it covetously. How could they have a chance? So he left decisively.

Elder Li's departure also left many people at the scene silent.

The person who just now was looking into the abyss seemed to be thinking about something.

He wanted to go down and take a look, but when he thought of the miserable state of Elder Li just now, he finally shook his head.

"Forget it, we'll leave too. Take care, everyone. We from the Divine Flame Sect will take our leave first."

Those who leave at this time are those who know when to advance and when to retreat.

The most important thing for a cultivator is to recognize his own weight. Elder Li and the cultivator of Lianxu can also recognize their own weight.
