In a trance, Li Yan felt that the pull rings under the two doors were like two eyes, looking at him with a hint of mockery.
In an instant, Li Yan figured out one thing. If he was a cultivator who had experienced life and death and finally arrived here, after checking the situation here, he might push open the door as soon as possible.
The two pull rings are so obvious that you will probably reach out and push them subconsciously.
Li Yan felt something was wrong with the position of the two pull rings on the door. That position was exactly at the position of his chest, which was exactly the position where he pushed it out.
You have to know that Li Yan is very tall and not an ordinary human being. Li Yan immediately became alert, and the result was not beyond his expectations.
"Your Excellency is really good at scheming. As long as I push the door with my hand, I will fall into your trap." Li Yan said coldly.
"Haha, what are you talking about, fellow Daoist? I am just a soul beast guarding the Huoyan Palace. Anyone who comes here, unless they are a person of great cultivation, will be allowed to pass.
It's just that I haven't seen any cultivators enter from here for a long time, so I was just joking with you, hehe!" The Qilin Treading Fire glanced at the red flames not far away and said with a dry laugh.
"It is indeed a soul beast." Li Yan thought to himself. At this moment, he also felt the powerful soul power fluctuations from the other party.
"Oh? Then you are the 'Bright Fire Kirin' here?" Li Yan suddenly asked.
"Oh, yes, it seems that this is not the first time for you to come here. I think you have entered through other 'Fire Eyes' before. In fact, you were just playing a trick on me just now."
Bright Fire Kirin said this, but there was still a hint of doubt in the depths of his eyes. Li Yan's previous actions were clearly the performance of his first time entering this place, but he attacked him at the first moment.
After thinking about it, it was also angry. This monk was really boring. If other monks revealed its whereabouts and fought with it, it would naturally not say anything if they lost. Otherwise, they would die here and the essence of their bodies would belong to it to devour.
Or he would fall into his trap, saving some effort and killing the other party directly, but this person chose to act as if he was coming for the first time and then attack him by surprise.
"Could it be that this cultivator has suffered losses at the hands of other 'Bright Fire Kirins' before, and is taking his anger out on me for fun?"
The Bright Fire Qilin couldn't help but feel angry, but it definitely didn't possess the upright character of an orthodox Qilin. Instead, it was cautious and suspicious. So even though it was unhappy in its heart, it didn't show it on its face.
What it is afraid of now is the red flame not far away, which has a hint of evil charm.
It thought it could swallow the flames by just opening its mouth, but when it swallowed the first red flame just now, its soul almost flew away. Fortunately, there was not much evil spirit contained in that flame, and it was finally suppressed by it.
Moreover, the Bright Fire Qilin felt that the red flame suppressed on its forehead would bring it inexplicable benefits if it could be integrated.
"Could this be the ancient strange fire?" Thinking of the various rumors about the ancient strange fire, the Bright Fire Qilin's heart became even more excited.
It glanced at the red flames not far away, but did not dare to rush over and swallow them. If it made the other party unhappy and stimulated more red flames, then its soul would be torn to pieces.
But this bright fire unicorn didn't know that the problem it was worried about was also what had been bothering Li Yan. The Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan could only be used at full power twice a day, and the one floating outside now was the last flame. After using it, he could only wait until tomorrow.
If the Bright Fire Kirin knew about this, it would definitely swallow this last flame at all costs, even if it temporarily damaged its soul. Then it would find ways to kill Li Yan and obtain the Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan, leaving it for a long time to slowly integrate with it in the future.
In fact, this means that the power of the Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan is not enough to seriously injure the Bright Fire Qilin. This is why the Blood Hand Flying Scythe could only use this fan as a last resort. The blood river in the fan is too small to provide him with room for wasting.
Li Yan just looked at the Bright Fire Qilin quietly and did not answer its questions. In fact, he didn't know what to do next.
It was seen that the Bright Fire Kirin was afraid of the Fire, but it was still unknown whether it would push open the red door directly next.
Seeing that Li Yan neither retracted the red flame nor had any intention of moving forward, the Bright Fire Kirin was secretly angry. If he had not been afraid of the red flame, with the other party's only cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, he would have killed him with a single slap.
"Fellow Daoist, if you don't enter the palace, do you really want to kill me and take my spirit?" The Bright Fire Qilin said while suppressing his anger.
After hearing this, Li Yan chuckled and stretched out his hand. The Lihuo that had been staying not far away, with the floating flames, suddenly disappeared into the Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan again. Then he strode towards the red gate.
The Bright Fire Kirin let Li Yan walk to the red gate. It looked at Li Yan's back quietly. A struggle flashed in its eyes several times. It looked at the light yellow fan in Li Yan's hand.
Finally, seeing that Li Yan was always careful with him and looked like he was ready to attack at any time, he had to give up in disappointment. He could only wait for this person to enter. Then he would try to merge the red flame and see what the final result would be.
Li Yan stood in front of the gate. At this time, the two bull-nose pull rings on the gate had long disappeared.
After infusing his left sleeve with spiritual power, he waved it forward, and with a loud rumbling sound, the red door slowly opened inwards with a dull sound of rotation. However, the scene inside the door made Li Yan stunned. Because what appeared in his eyes was not a palace, nor another space, but two passages on the left and right.
The passage on the left was dark red with a faint black smoke constantly drifting out, and it was pitch black inside. The passage on the right was golden, and it was brightly lit with no end in sight.
For a moment, Li Yan didn't know which passage to step into.
When the Bright Fire Qilin saw Li Yan open the red door, it did not walk in immediately, but stood there hesitantly. However, Li Yan had his back to it, so it could not see Li Yan's expression. However, the Bright Fire Qilin still made a decision in an instant, and its eyes rolled.
"Didn't you come here to break through? Could it be that you want to choose to enter the golden channel on the right?"
"You want me to take the black channel?" Li Yan said with some dissatisfaction, turning his face to the side.
While he was hesitating, he heard what the Bright Fire Kirin said behind him, and he immediately made a judgment. The black channel on the left should be extremely dangerous and was used by people to break through. But what was the function of the golden channel? Could it be that the different channels here have different functions
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Li Yan's face, the Bright Fire Kirin shook its head, and a hint of disappointment flashed across its eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
Then he walked to a corner by himself, as if he didn't want to bother with Li Yan anymore, and said at the same time.
"Oh, I just asked casually, hehe, please go ahead, fellow Taoist."
Seeing that the Bright Fire Qilin did not answer him, Li Yan couldn't help but murmur in his heart, but he still keenly noticed the flash of disappointment in the Bright Fire Qilin's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel moved.
It has been said before that Li Yan is a suspicious person. His mind raced as he remembered what Bro had said about the Bright Fire Kirin being cunning and changeable.
"That hint of disappointment must have been revealed to me on purpose, so that I would choose the golden channel." Li Yan couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Then he stepped into the gate, but the moment he stepped in, his body moved towards the black passage on the left.
However, he heard a chilling sneer behind him. Li Yan cried out in his heart, "Oh no!" When he wanted to take back his steps, it was too late. He was sucked in by a huge force.
Looking at Li Yan's disappearing figure, the Light Fire Qilin raised his head, excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Boy, you think you are smart, but you have been fooled by someone. Hahaha, with your cultivation level, you can only stay in there for half a day before you turn into nothingness. Then the magic weapon will be mine."
Li Yan felt a black screen in front of his eyes and the space around him tightened. He quickly circulated his spiritual power to protect his body tightly, but the imagined attack did not come as expected. He just felt that he had been imprisoned and his body could not move. He was terrified.
Li Yan took a deep breath. He encountered the second biggest life-and-death crisis since his training. That time, he was chased by the Red Fire Ancestor. If he had not met Shuang Qingqing, he would have died. This time, he didn't know what kind of danger he was in, but his body was imprisoned, which would be fatal for any cultivator.
The space here was pitch black, and Li Yan's eyesight could not adapt for a while. Since he did not feel any attack coming, he was at least safe for the time being. Li Yan's spiritual sense directly spread to the surroundings. After a long time, Li Yan stood there in shock.
To be precise, Li Yan was "lying" in the same place. This was a strange space. It was strange because it was a long and narrow pipe.
There was only a little space on the left and right sides of his body for Li Yan to move around. To put it bluntly, Li Yan could only move forward or backward. And now Li Yan couldn't even bend his elbows or stretch his arms. Every time he wanted to do so, the dark walls of the passage would hold him there.
Li Yan tried to use his internal energy to shrink his body. The Qiongqi Purgatory Technique could allow the body to move at all kinds of strange angles and perform actions that ordinary people couldn't do.
But when Li Yan did this, he found that as long as he left some space, the walls of the passage would quickly squeeze in, leaving him less than three inches of space to move.
After Li Yan performed the second action, he was so scared that he dared not go on, because the space on the left and right sides of the passage had shrunk a little, and it seemed that he could not stretch it out at all.
With Li Yan's physical strength, even if he was embedded in a mountain, he could still carve out a passage.
But here, no matter how hard he pushed to the sides, the passage was like an unbreakable cage that pinned him firmly inside.
If viewed from the outside at this time, Li Yan looked like he was lying in a very long and narrow coffin.
Li Yan had encountered an unexpected incident when he entered before, so he put one hand below and the other hand above to protect the front. Under the squeeze of the passage, he was unable to change his posture.
He raised one hand high up, and the other hand was placed vertically downwards, against his leg. It was a very awkward posture. Normally, this posture would not be a big deal, but after a long time, it became uncomfortable.
Li Yan was annoyed that he was too suspicious. He hunted geese all day and finally got his eyes pecked by a goose. The Bright Fire Kirin was more cunning than him. All its behavior was just to arouse his suspicion. Li Yan fell into its trap without being careful.
