That afternoon, more and more people were on the platform. In the sky, there were lights flying by continuously. The cultivators were coming and going in a hurry.
Those who had originally set up stalls also began to pack up their stalls.
A tense atmosphere began to spread.
The three Luo Huangs found Li Nianfan and said, "Mr. Li, the Qingyun Demon Locking Ceremony will begin this afternoon."
Li Nianfan was slightly surprised, "Oh? So soon?"
Qin Manyun nodded, "There happens to be a high tower in this Xianke Residence, which is the best place to watch the Qingyun Demon Locking Ceremony. I'll take you there."
"That would be great." Li Nianfan said with a smile.
The tower is actually a huge pavilion, located at the top center of Xiankeju. Standing in it, you can see everything in 360 degrees, and you will feel like the world is at your feet. There
are very few people in the tower, not because it is precious, but because it is too useless.
The immortal cultivators naturally fly into the air with the escape light, and there is no need to come to this pavilion. As for mortals, there are not many who are qualified to come up. In this way, there is no crowding, which makes Li Nianfan feel a lot more comfortable.
Li Nianfan stood by the railing and looked at the valley full of black soil, and his eyes could not help but slightly condensed.
Not sure if he remembered it wrongly, he felt that the black soil on the ground had become very black, and there seemed to be wisps of black air overflowing from the black soil, like black smoke, but it condensed and did not disperse, gathering in the air, forming an extremely bizarre scene.
However, the black smoke could not fly high, because there were four old men guarding around the valley, and an old man in green clothes sitting in the center of the valley.
The five people were suspended in the air, sitting cross-legged, with the breeze blowing their clothes, the typical image of a Taoist master.
The black smoke kept floating to their feet, and was suppressed by an invisible force, and it was difficult to rise again.
Luo Shiyu stood beside Li Nianfan and said, "Mr. Li, look at the center of the valley. Does it look like a dark eye? That is the entrance to the demon world."
Li Nianfan nodded and said, "The black air really makes people uncomfortable."
The black air was too strange. Even if Li Nianfan just looked at it, he would feel a little disgust and coldness from the bottom of his heart. This feeling was like a little girl seeing a snake, innate.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the valley, like a drum sound suddenly ringing in the silent night, making people's hearts jump.
Luo Huang's face darkened, and he said nervously, "Here it comes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the eye in the center of the valley suddenly gushed out endless black air like a volcanic eruption.
This black air was extremely black, deeper than the night, deeper than ink, and even gave people the illusion that it could turn the whole world black.
In just a moment, with the eye as the center, the black air spread out like thick fog, covering all directions.
If it weren't for the five people guarding the valley, this black air would have already overflowed and covered a hundred miles.
The five people were suspended in the air, as if they had formed a barrier. The black energy could only be trapped within that range. Although it was getting thicker and thicker, it could not escape at all.
Li Nianfan nodded in realization, "No wonder only that part of the land around here was black and barren. It turned out to be because of the black energy."
"Crack, crack, crack."
The evil energy rolled, as if it was enraged, and a series of strange sounds came from it.
The old man in the center of the valley suddenly opened his eyes, which were originally closed, and there was a gleam of light in them. The body that was originally sitting cross-legged stood up in the air, his hair flying in the wind, and an invisible aura emanated from him.
Immediately afterwards, the other four old men also stood up at the same time, looking at the valley with solemn faces, their eyes as deep as stars.
The five old men pinched the magic formula at the same time, and flames suddenly appeared out of thin air, surrounding them, circling around like a fire dragon.
Then, the flames became more and more, and became thicker and thicker, and actually turned into a flame pillar, rising into the sky!
Five huge flame pillars, four on the periphery and one in the center, like a fire tornado, the scene was vast and magnificent, dyeing everything around, including the sky above, red.
A violent wind suddenly arose!
Li Nianfan stared at the five raging fire pillars with wide eyes, and his heart could not help but start to churn.
"Too awesome! Is this how powerful a cultivator is? Oh my god!"
Although he had long guessed that a cultivator could move mountains and fill the sea, the shock was unimaginable when he saw it with his own eyes.
The wind blew on his face with heat waves, making him feel a little burning.
Inevitably, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.
"How can a person have such powerful strength? After all, I have traveled through time, so why can't I become an immortal? This is so damn unfair, I don't want to be that powerful, as long as I'm half as powerful as them!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The giant pillar of fire rolled, merging into the black air of the valley like a mad snake, and immediately made an extremely harsh sound.
"Roar!"
A beast-like roar came from the valley. The black air began to shrink, and a dark beast shadow appeared. It rolled around, trying to break out of the cage.
"Gudong!"
Li Nianfan saw clearly that the black earth in the valley was like a bubble, and it arched upward.
It seemed that something was about to break out of the ground.
The old man in the center had a solemn expression, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, "Use the true fire as a guide! Lock the demon array, open!"
In his hand, a small red flag appeared, and then he threw it slightly into the air.
Suddenly, the flames around the five people gathered in the sky with the small flag as the center, forming a flame cover, which was exactly the same size as the valley, and slowly covered the bottom.
And below, the stones standing around the valley, which seemed inconspicuous at first, suddenly lit up with red light, and flames rushed out from them, burning along the ground, and actually cut through the black air, forming a strange pattern on the ground!
Only then did Li Nianfan realize that a formation had been set up around the valley.
The flame cover in the sky echoed the flame formation on the ground, falling lower and lower. As for the black air, it was like countless hands, pushing up the cover, trying to lift it up.
The two were deadlocked, as if it had become a frozen picture.
Time passed by, the sky gradually darkened, the five old men's faces flushed, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but yawn, and his eyes began to blur.
The flames were huge and boundless, and the black air was strange and eerie. Although the stalemate between the two was quite spectacular, it would cause aesthetic fatigue after seeing such a spectacular scene too much, not to mention that Li Nianfan had been watching it for an entire afternoon.
For a whole afternoon, the flame cover may have only dropped ten centimeters.
It is estimated that the follow-up is just to wait for the flame cover to be covered, and there is a high probability that there will be no new actions.
For cultivators, it is normal to fight for three days and three nights, so they watched with great interest, analyzing who is stronger and who is weaker, and occasionally exclaiming, calling him an expert.
But Li Nianfan couldn't bear it anymore, and it was time to go to bed.
He yawned again, "Little Daji, it's getting late, shall we go back to bed?"
Daji nodded, "Yes, I will go back with you."
The three of Luo Huang looked at each other, their hearts beating slightly.
A master is a master, does he really look down on this level of fighting?
I guess in his eyes, we are just a little fight between children, look, he is about to fall asleep after watching this.
