The black vapors rose into the sky, drifted towards the domed building, and then flowed into his hand.
Standing beside him, Meng Wanwan could clearly feel that his cultivation level was rising step by step.
Golden Core Stage, Mid-Golden Core Stage, Late-Golden Core Stage...
Nian Nian's screams almost pierced Meng Wanwan's eardrums.
"Master! Don't let him level up any further. Absorbing evil energy so quickly to increase his cultivation will damage his mind. Once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will become extremely demonic!"
"Stop him!"
"Stop him!"
Niannian even materialized from Meng Wanwan's body, its fluffy tail gently sweeping towards Lanqiao.
Meng Wanwan could sense that his breathing had paused.
Meng Wanwan quickly said, "Brother Lanqiao, too much of a good thing is bad. Don't absorb any more evil energy."
Lan Qiao's dark eyes paused slightly, and the black energy on his right hand suddenly disappeared.
Then he slammed his fist into the ground.
The enormous fist shadow slammed into the ground, and the impact of the baleful energy directly caused the cultivators who were cultivating spiritual energy to have their breath stagnate, as if their meridians were blocked, and they all coughed up blood.
Even Yun Zhao and Chu You were no exception.
Everyone who was fighting fell to the ground.
Meng Xiuyi and Chi Yun were locked in a fierce battle in the sky and neither of them came down.
At this moment, they also noticed the change on the ground, so the two slashed at each other with their swords, then quickly separated and returned to their own side.
Meng Wanwan immediately landed on the ground with Lan Qiao.
Meng Xiuyi then noticed that Meng Wanwan was covered in blood. He reached out and took Meng Wanwan's hand: "Are you alright?"
Meng Wanwan wiped her mouth and shook her head with a smile: "It's alright, Daddy, I'm fine, I've broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
Meng Xiuyi also gave a faint smile.
The spirit also withdrew and stood on the side of the Meng family's team.
Helian Xiao was also shaken to the point of vomiting blood, but he was alright because he had made preparations in advance and there were no major problems.
At this point, the two groups of people separated and began a standoff.
Chi Yun never expected that the other party was just a few rogue cultivators.
A rogue cultivator!
It may not even have a proper cultivation method.
They actually withstood the attack of more than thirty disciples of the Mirage Tower.
Even the person with the highest strength among them couldn't figure out exactly how strong he was.
No matter how much of his strength he used, this man surnamed Meng could catch it, and it seemed to be effortless for him.
wrong!
This family is completely wrong!
He glared at the family with a sinister look.
Meng Xiuyi was also looking at him.
Both sides are calculating what to do next.
Just then, they felt another tremor beneath their feet.
At the same time, the array that Meng Wanwan had set up around her suddenly shattered. The huge impact of the energy caught her off guard and crashed through her meridians. She groaned and coughed up blood again.
Meng Xiuyi quickly picked her up and channeled a stream of spiritual energy into her body, suppressing the sudden burst of spiritual power within her meridians.
Meanwhile, the Shangguan family members who had just disappeared suddenly reappeared.
However, they... seem a bit confused.
The Shangguan family members sat cross-legged, staring blankly at the man holding a folding fan who appeared to be a wealthy young master.
The man was holding a picture in his hand, seemingly explaining something.
Red Clouds...
"Miss Shangguan, what are you doing?"
Chi Yun was enraged.
They risked their lives here to complete their mission.
What are they doing?
Is it for teaching?
What are the Shangguan family up to?
The Shangguan family members only then seemed to wake up from a dream, as if they had just come to their senses and realized what they were doing.
However, Shangguan Liuyue had already packed everything up and slowly walked towards the Meng family's house.
Sigh, is it easy for him?
Even though I hate these unfilial descendants, I still have to explain some knowledge about weapon crafting to them in order to appease them.
There are indeed some restless members of the family.
However, a beating would make them behave.
I never expected that this quiet time would be so short!
Many people hadn't even had a chance to speak; they had only just stood still.
They heard a series of breaking sounds coming from beneath their feet.
"The platform is broken!" someone shouted.
Everyone quickly looked down and discovered that the town's platforms were already covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the sound of falling gravel came from under their feet.
The next second, this group of people experienced what weightlessness was like once again.
"Ah—not again!"
"Will this ever end?! What kind of place is this?!"
"It's all those damned rogue cultivators' fault! Damn it, they didn't kill a single one, yet they ruined this place!"
This time, Shangguan Liuyue reacted extremely quickly. The moment the platform beneath their feet completely collapsed, a magic array appeared beneath their feet, steadily lifting them up.
The Meng family breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Yun Zhao and Chu You looked at the formation with great curiosity and asked, "Master, what is this place?"
Meng Xiuyi said, "It's the old site of a sect from a long time ago. We're basically in a secret realm now."
Helian Xiao finally had a chance to greet them: "Hey you two, it's been a few days!"
Yun Zhao and Chu You greeted them with smiles.
The spirit carefully approached Meng Wanwan, because there was a blue bridge next to Meng Wanwan that made her feel very comfortable.
Meng Wanwan whispered, "This time, something seems off about this place."
Similar to last time, she kept falling, but she noticed that the speed of the fall was getting slower and slower.
A series of agonizing screams echoed beneath their feet.
"What's that sound?" Chu You looked down in confusion, and his expression immediately changed.
"Master! Below! Mother, is it a sea of fire?"
The scorching wind finally rushed up, causing their formation to shake.
Shangguan Liuyue's expression changed. He threw the fan out, and the folding fan transformed into a huge array that caught the Shangguan family members who were still floating in the air.
Some of the people from the mirage were also caught.
Meng Xiuyi hugged Meng Wanwan tightly and said, "There's lava below. We can't fall like this. Jump."
At this moment, the surrounding environment had changed; they were surrounded by cave walls that were almost melted by the raging fire.
Beneath their feet lay a pool of violently churning lava.
If they fall like that, they will be instantly burned to ashes by the molten lava.
Upon hearing this, everyone jumped towards a place where there was no lava.
The magic circle disappeared the instant they left it.
Fortunately, everyone landed safely, and apart from those people in the mirages who initially fell into the lava, there were no other casualties.
Suppressing their inner turmoil, the group began to survey the place.
This place is actually quite ordinary; it's just a large, ordinary cave, except that there's a lava pool in the middle of the cave.
"Master, come and take a look." Yun Zhao landed on a protruding rock on a high place and calmly looked down at half of the cave.
Meng Xiuyi leaped up, looked down, and then froze.
"this……"
Meng Wanwan went up as well, along with Helian Xiao and Shangguan Liuyue. Even Chi Yun and the artifact spirit came over to see.
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped.
"Isn't the shape and the pattern of the ripples exactly the same as that pool outside...?"
Someone shouted out.
As his voice faded, the calm magma began to churn.
A pair of hands slowly emerged from the lava, then a shoulder, and half a head.
She seemed to be in great pain, struggling to break free, but it also felt like something was holding her back tightly.
Suddenly, her face emerged from the lava, and she let out a shrill scream.
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the mirage screamed in terror.
"It's Han Fei! The person in the lava is Han Fei!"
