"What! We really found the fire element vein?!" After learning Hou Liu's report, Yin Yuhong and the other two stood up suddenly, shocked and excited.
"I saw it with my own eyes, there is absolutely no mistake," Hou Liu nodded.
"Hou Liu, you have made a great contribution this time. I will consider taking you back to the Samsara Continent. Now go and inform Guo Huaigong immediately and send all the cultivators above the Hundred Dynasties period in the tribe to come as quickly as possible. We will wait outside the Black Mountain Tribe," Yin Yuhong ordered.
At this moment, An Li on the side seemed to remember something and said hurriedly, "We can't wait!"
"Why?" All three of them looked over.
An Li said in a deep voice: "What you don't know is that Wutan has a magic weapon that is beyond ordinary people's understanding. It can capture spiritual veins. If you are a step late, maybe the entire fire element spiritual vein will be taken away by him."
"Impossible!" Yin Yuhong denied it on the spot. It was not that she didn't want to believe it, but she couldn't believe that there was such an outrageous magic weapon in the world.
An Li said: "Nothing is impossible. The spiritual veins of the two first-rate sects in my Qinglong Continent have been taken away by his magic weapon. All the restorers in Qinglong Continent know about this. But it was all ten years ago. If I hadn't suddenly remembered it just now, I would have almost forgotten it."
"Do you take the truth seriously?" Yin Yuhong and the other two still found it hard to believe.
"If you don't believe me, just wait. Excuse me, I'll go ahead." After being questioned again and again by the three people, An Li finally lost his patience. Without waiting for their answer, he turned into a beam of fire and disappeared into the sky.
"It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Hou Liu, you and the people of the tribe should rush directly to the Huochi Mountains. Let's go and take a look first." After giving the order, Bai Zhu and Yin Yuhong looked at each other, and wings of light emerged, and they quickly followed.
The Qingxu tribe will let Hou Liu go undercover in the Black Mountain tribe. Naturally, there are people from other tribes in the Qingxu tribe as well. If all the high-level powerful people in the tribe are dispatched, it will inevitably attract their attention.
Therefore, many people rushed back to the tribe to report to the tribal leader.
Upon hearing this, most of the second-level tribes secretly sent people to follow, including the Black Mountain Tribe, who wanted to see what the Qingxu Tribe was up to.
Just one day later, an angry roar broke out in the Black Mountain Tribe. This roar naturally came from the tribal leader.
"Who on earth is it, who leaked this secret?"
The chief of the Black Mountain tribe is an old man, but he is very strong, with a childlike face and white hair, and he is full of energy. At this moment, he stands above the hall, his eyes are like lightning, his face is as calm as water, and he scans the tribe's top leaders below.
He is the patriarch of the Black Mountain Tribe—Heisha!
When he learned from the report of his tribe members that the people of Qingxu tribe were actually heading directly towards the direction of the fire element vein, he knew that this secret, which only he knew, was 100% exposed. Otherwise, the Qingxu tribe would not have mobilized all the top leaders.
"secret?"
Heisha knew it well, but the tribesmen below were confused. They were all wondering what had happened to make the tribe leader so angry
Hei Chengwu was the only one who understood what was going on. He was extremely surprised and suspicious. He had only given them a rough direction, but he didn't expect that they had actually found it.
He stood obediently by the side, with his head lowered, not daring to say a word, for fear that his father would notice something. Given his father's cruelty, he, his own son, would not be able to escape.
Heisha looked at the group of tribesmen below, and after a long time, he sighed. He knew very well that these people had no idea the exact location of the fire elemental vein, so how could they have leaked the secret? It was just that this news came out suddenly and everyone knew about it, which made it difficult for him to accept it.
He sat back in his chair, rubbed his forehead, and said weakly: "At this point, there is nothing to hide. I will tell you the truth! The spiritual vein of the fire element is in the Fire Mountain Range."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. Now their doubts were explained. It turned out that the spiritual vein was actually in the Fire Mountains. No wonder the chief lost his composure when he learned that people from other tribes were heading there.
A tribe member hurriedly said, "Chief, the Fire Elemental Spiritual Vein is of great importance. Please quickly tell the tribe members to gather and go fight for it! Whatever you can grab is better than nothing!"
"It's too late, everything is too late. The Qingxu tribe set out yesterday and they may have arrived now. If we go now, the spiritual vein may be divided up by them when we are halfway there." Heisha seemed to have aged by dozens of years and his face was haggard. If he had known the result would be like this, he should have been ruthless and destroyed the spiritual vein.
As for the secret passage he usually used, he didn't even want to think about it. The space inside was too narrow and he couldn't use his speed at all. He also had to identify the direction. It would be faster to fly out from the outside.
"Is that the end of it?"
A group of tribesmen were indignant. The treasure that originally belonged to their tribe was finally taken away by other tribes. They felt very uncomfortable. What's more, it was the spiritual vein of the fire element, a spiritual object of heaven and earth. They were determined to intercept it halfway and even go into battle with the Qingxu tribe head-on to get back as much as they could.
"You guys go out first, let me think about it carefully," Heisha waved his hand. He knew what the tribesmen meant. It was just a war between two tribes, which was not a joke and needed to be considered carefully.
A group of tribesmen wanted to say something, but when they saw the gloomy-faced Heisha looking at them, they wisely chose to shut up and retreat.
Because everyone knows that the patriarch is on the verge of a rage at the moment. Anyone who dares to say one more word or disobey him will surely burst this bomb, and it is inevitable that they will suffer serious injuries.
"Chengwu, you stay," Heisha said lightly at this time.
He Chengwu's body stiffened when he heard this, and his expression changed repeatedly. Did his father discover something? Thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely, because when he was trying to find out the whereabouts of the spiritual vein, he did not ask directly, but asked indirectly.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved. He turned around and took a few steps forward. After the other tribesmen had left, he said respectfully, "Father, what do you want me to do?"
"I haven't seen Haoming for a few days. Do you know what he is doing?" Heisha asked. He never looked up, as if he was thinking about something else.
It turned out that he was asking about his younger brother. Only then did Hei Chengwu feel relieved. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Father, you know my younger brother's character. He is out all day and never tells me what he is doing. I think he is probably having an affair with some woman right now!"
"You good-for-nothing and rebellious son, such a big thing has happened in the tribe, yet you still have the mood to have fun. Send someone to find him immediately, and bring him back to me even if you have to tie him up," Heisha became furious when he heard this, and slapped the armrest of the chair with his palm, and ordered.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Hei Chengwu bowed, turned and left. As he turned around, a hint of fierceness flashed across his dark eyes. It was obvious that he did not have a good impression of his own brother.
Not long after Hei Chengwu left, Hei Sha suddenly looked up, stared at the void in front of him and shouted: "Shadow Spirit!"
Before he finished speaking, a man in black robe suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the empty hall. As soon as he appeared, he walked directly to Heisha, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Yingling is here, what do you want from the master!"
Heisha lowered his head and whispered a few words into the black-robed man's ear, then raised his head and ordered, "Go!"
"Yes!" The man in black robe bowed in response, then stood up, his figure flashed, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Wutan and his companion had been trapped in the passage for a day, but still hadn't found any different signs, which made them very angry and helpless.
"Why don't we go back the same way we came? The worst that can happen is a fight to the death, which is worse than being trapped here," Ye Tian suggested after searching for a while and finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"It seems so," Wutan nodded, but the moment he turned around, his eyes suddenly locked on a certain place, and his body froze there, motionless.
"What are you looking at?" After walking a few steps, Ye Tian found that Wutan did not follow him, so he asked curiously.
Wutan did not answer, but floated up and looked at the night pearls on the wall. To be precise, he was looking at the small stone platform where the night pearls were placed. After looking for a long time, he spoke: "Come and take a look, is there anything different here?"
With doubts, Ye Tian flew to Wutan's side and looked carefully. The stone platform was made of a red stone, and on the front of the stone platform, where the stone platform and the night pearl touched, he actually found a small arrow symbol.
"Could this be the so-called mark?" Ye Tian was surprised and began to check the stone platforms in more than a dozen other passages, but in the end he did not find the same symbol.
This confirms that the symbol of this small arrow is indeed a mark.
"No wonder we couldn't find the mark after searching for so long. It turns out it is hidden here." No one would have thought that the mark would be on the stone platform where the night pearl was placed, and on the front. Even someone as meticulous and careful as Wutan found it with great difficulty.
Wu Tian said: "Let's follow this mark and try again. If we still end up back where we were, we'll go out."
After a day of stagnation, the two set out again, and every time they passed a night pearl, they would fly up to check, and finally found that there was a small arrow on each stone platform, so they were more certain that this was the mark. Following this road, they would definitely reach the Black Mountain Tribe.
When the two had walked about ten miles, they found countless secret passages of varying sizes surrounding the passage, arranged in no regular pattern, like the roots of an old tree, so complicated that if they couldn't find a way to break through, they would be trapped to death inside.
However, knowing the hidden marks, the two quickly identified the correct direction, rushed into a secret passage, and sped away.
…
"Ah... Damn Wu Tian, you and I cannot coexist!"
High in the sky above the Huochi Mountains, three figures stood out of nowhere. They were An Li, Yin Yuhong and Bai Zhu. The one who roared into the sky was An Li.
At this moment, he looked like a beggar, extremely miserable, without any demeanor of a Holy Son, only filled with anger and murderous intent.
Not only An Li, but Yin Yuhong and the other two women were the same, their faces were pale and dark, their clothes were ragged and dirty, their skin was covered with scars of varying sizes, and blood kept oozing out. It was obvious that they had suffered extremely serious injuries, which was completely different from their usual image of aloof saints.
However, they didn't care at all, their eyes were filled with endless anger that seemed to burn the sky, and their murderous intent burst out without any concealment.
