Hong Bo knew that what Shen Zixuan said made sense, but he also knew that continuing to explore in depth would mean taking greater risks.
He is a casual cultivator, without any sect or school. He relies entirely on himself to work hard step by step, and it is not easy for him to cultivate to the level he is today.
If I lose my life like this, it would be totally not worth it.
Just when Hong Bo was silent, Old Man Qian spoke.
"Brother Shen," Old Man Qian turned to Shen Zixuan with a flattering smile on his face.
"It's not that I'm timid, it's just that this Liuguang Lake is too dangerous! You don't know, I once heard an elder say..."
Old Man Qian's tone was mysterious, as if he was about to tell a horror story, and he deliberately lowered his voice.
"That Liuguang Lake glows with a strange red light every full moon night. That's because there lives a bloodthirsty red flame dragon at the bottom of the lake!
The red flame dragon was huge, with scales harder than steel, and the flames it spewed from its mouth could burn a person to ashes in an instant!
There was once a group of powerful monks who refused to believe in evil and insisted on crossing the lake, but…"
He paused deliberately, observing Shen Zixuan's reaction.
Meng Wan, who was beside him, turned pale with fear, but Shen Zixuan remained unmoved. He simply asked calmly, "What was the result?"
"The result," Old Man Qian swallowed and said in a low voice.
"In the end, they were completely wiped out, not even a bone was left!"
After hearing this, Shen Zixuan just smiled and said.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, you're worrying too much. As long as we're careful, we won't run into that Scarlet Flame Dragon."
Old Man Qian wanted to persuade him again, but was pulled aside by Hong Bo.
"Brother Shen has made up his mind. It's useless for us to persuade him."
Hong Bo said with a grim expression, "Let's think about how to get back."
Old Man Qian sighed and said helplessly, "It can only be like this. These days, money is hard to earn, and life is more important!"
Hong Bo nodded, walked up to Shen Zixuan and bowed.
"Brother Shen, I have discussed with Mr. Qian, and we have decided to return to the periphery to rest for a while. What do you think..."
Shen Zixuan understood what Hong Bo meant, and said it readily without forcing him.
"In that case, let's say goodbye and see you later."
Hong Bo and Old Man Qian felt relieved. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Shen Zixuan and others, they walked back in the direction they came from without looking back.
After watching the two of them leave, Shen Zixuan patted Meng Wan's shoulder soothingly.
"Don't be afraid, it's not as dangerous as he said. Since they won't go, the three of us will do it."
Shen Zihan stretched her body and said, "I should have gotten rid of these people long ago. Following this group of casual cultivators is trouble!"
Meng Wan nodded obediently, but she had a premonition in her heart.
Hong Bo and Old Man Qian might be back soon...
The three of them kept getting closer to Liuguang Lake. The closer they got, the more they could appreciate the beauty of Liuguang Lake.
It is like a huge piece of jade, inlaid on the earth.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Meng Wan couldn't help but admire.
Shen Zihan rolled her eyes. What a fool! The more beautiful a place is, the greater the danger it often hides.
This Liuguang Lake is definitely not as calm as it appears on the surface.
"Be careful."
Shen Zixuan whispered to Meng Wan, "This Liuguang Lake may seem calm, but it's actually full of undercurrents. If you're not careful, you'll be doomed."
When Meng Wan heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She collected her thoughts and cautiously followed Shen Zixuan towards the lake.
Just as the three of them approached the lake, something strange happened!
Without warning, a huge wave suddenly rose up on the calm lake surface, and a surging wall of water roared towards the three people.
Shen Zixuan reacted extremely quickly. The folding fan that had been secretly held in his left hand opened with a "swish". He poured spiritual power into it and blew out a strong gust of wind, which barely broke the waves.
Water splashed everywhere, soaking the three of them.
"Brother Zixuan, what's going on?"
Meng Wan was terrified. If Shen Zixuan had not acted in time, she would have been swept into the lake by the huge waves.
Shen Zixuan's face was solemn, his eyes swept across the turbulent lake, and he said in a deep voice.
"It seems that this Flowing Light Lake is even more dangerous than the rumors say."
Shen Zihan was also frightened. She steadied herself and scanned the surroundings sharply, trying to find the source of the unusual movement.
"Brother, be careful!"
Shen Zihan suddenly gave a reminder, and at the same time, she quickly made hand gestures, and a stream of spiritual power shot out and hit a reef not far behind Shen Zixuan.
With a "bang", the reef shattered and a black shadow rushed out from the rubble and rushed straight towards Shen Zixuan's face.
Shen Zixuan was prepared and dodged the shadow's attack by moving sideways. He swung the magic sword in his right hand and a sharp sword energy went straight to the shadow's vital point.
The black shadow let out a sharp scream, and quickly retreated, disappearing into the surging waves.
"What is it?"
Meng Wan was still in shock and grabbed Shen Zixuan's sleeve tightly.
Shen Zixuan shook his head, staring at the lake, and said in a deep voice.
"I don't know, but what is certain is that there are no good people in this Liuguang Lake."
Shen Zihan nodded solemnly. The black shadow just now was extremely fast and had a cold aura. It was definitely not an ordinary aquatic creature.
"Brother Zixuan, what should we do now?" Meng Wan asked anxiously.
Shen Zixuan pondered for a moment and looked up at the sky.
"It's getting late, so we shouldn't continue. Let's rest here for a night and get enough rest so we can cross Liuguang Lake early tomorrow morning."
Meng Wan looked around. Apart from the rocky lakeshore, there was only the endless Flowing Lake. She looked increasingly uneasy.
