At night, the moon is high in the sky.
Halfway up a mountain, a boy of about eleven or twelve stood in the darkness, looking down at the brightly lit city below. In his bright eyes, there was a flash of murderous intent that was not in line with his age.
"The great gifts have been prepared for you, and the show will begin tomorrow." The young man muttered, smiled coldly, and there was a hint of cruelty in his murderous eyes.
“Swish!”
Then, the young man's figure flashed and rushed towards a canyon.
This young man is naturally Wu Tian.
After spending an entire afternoon, Wutan finally had a general understanding of the Fire Meteorite Valley.
Fire Meteorite Valley is a huge canyon, surrounded by mountains on all sides, all of which are tens of thousands of feet high. The tops of the mountains are covered with sky flames, and the only exit is the Sky Flame Stone Chamber.
In other words, the Fire Meteorite Valley is located in the center of the sea of fire. If you look at it from a high altitude, it is even more spectacular. In the center of the endless sea of fire, a piece of land collapsed, and living in it are not only humans, but also many strange life species.
It's like an oasis in the desert, particularly eye-catching.
In fact, what surprised Wutan the most was what kind of power was guarding this piece of pure land, blocking the heavenly fire on the top of the mountain and preventing it from reaching the valley.
Inside the valley, there is a city, which is also the only city in Huoyue Valley. It is called Huoyue City. However, it is undeniable that this city is very large. According to Wutan's inquiries during the day, there are more than 100,000 people living there.
The city is mainly controlled by five major families. It is said that the strength of each family head is very terrifying, and they are the most terrifying existence except for the Valley Master.
In other words, from the surface, the six strongest people in Huoyue Valley are the valley master and the five family heads.
However, Wutan didn't think so, because when he entered the Fire Meteorite Valley, he sensed a faint breath. After half a day of searching, he found that this breath came from the depths of the Fire Meteorite Valley.
At this moment, he was ready to go and find out what was going on. Since he was going to take action against the Fire Meteorite Valley, he had to find out the details of the Fire Meteorite Valley so as to leave a way out for himself.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. This is the truth.
The heaven-defying realm was opened, and there were no accidents along the way.
After dozens of breaths, Wutan stopped on an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves, and looked through the gaps between the leaves. He saw that ten miles away, there was a low mountain a hundred feet high standing in the canyon, but it was very strange.
The entire Fire Meteorite Valley is basically covered with green mountains and clear waters, with beautiful scenery.
However, that short hill alone was completely bare, without even a single weed. It was like a dead mountain, utterly silent.
Moreover, the ferocious beasts around stopped when they approached the low hill, as if they were afraid of something.
"The aura is coming from the low mountain, creating such a strange environment. I want to see who it is."
A wisp of divine thought extended out and slowly approached the low mountain. Suddenly, the people in the low mountain seemed to wake up, and their breath suddenly strengthened. Wutan's face darkened, and he decisively cut off the divine thought. His figure flashed, and he hid in another big tree.
Just at this moment, a figure appeared on the hill. It was a shadow shrouded in mist and could not be seen clearly. One could only roughly estimate that he was an old man dressed in black.
The man looked around and then landed on the ancient tree where Wutan had hidden before. If the mist dissipated, one would definitely find that there was a hint of doubt between his brows.
Finally, the man glanced around again and disappeared without any warning.
"A very powerful and terrifying enemy." Wutan muttered secretly. Without continuing to observe, he turned around and left quickly.
This person is a very powerful and terrifying being. He gives him the feeling that he is no worse than the now weak Demon Emperor Shuntian. If he did not have the heaven-defying domain, being discovered this time is an inevitable fact.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn white and the sun rose, the people in Huoyue City began to get busy.
Everyone worked together to decorate the place with lights and hung big red lanterns. In less than half an hour, Huoyun City was decorated with a festive atmosphere.
Especially the Huoyun Palace in the center of the city, which is covered in red and colorful and paved with flowers, it is extremely magnificent!
Huoyue Palace is the highest holy place in Huoyue Valley and a symbol of status. Only the masters of the valley from generation to generation are qualified to live here, and only the heads of the five major families are qualified to step through the gate here.
At noon, with the sound of gongs and drums and the blast of fireworks, the wedding of Valley Master and Sikong Yanran officially began.
At this moment, other places in the city were bustling with laughter, noise, and discussions, but in the Huoyun Palace, only a few whispers could be heard occasionally.
Outside the Huoyun Palace, there is a vast square, about a thousand feet wide. It is also decorated quite festively, but there is not a single guest. There are only dozens of maids and guards standing respectfully on both sides of the square, with no smiles on their faces.
"The Valley Master is getting married, and the head of the Rong family is here to congratulate him!"
"The Valley Master is getting married, and the Patriarch of the Hua Family is here to congratulate him!"
"The Valley Master is getting married, and the head of a wealthy family is here to congratulate him!"
"The Valley Master is getting married, and the head of your family is here to congratulate you!"
"The Valley Master is getting married, and the Patriarch of the He Family is here to congratulate him!"
The fireworks dissipated, the drumbeats fell, and five figures stepped into the air one after another and landed on the square. They were three men and two women, dressed in brocade clothes, with dignified looks and extraordinary bearing.
"Prosperity, wealth and?"
On a mountain peak, Wutan was sitting halfway up the mountain, his eyes as bright as lightning, paying close attention to the situation in Huoyun Palace from beginning to end. When he heard the surnames of the five family heads, he was stunned for a moment, and then he sneered in his heart.
The five family heads have arrived, and the maids beside them dare not be negligent.
A maid hurried forward, bowed, pointed to the VIP seats on the side, and said respectfully: "Five family heads, please take your seats. The Valley Master will be out soon."
There are only nine so-called VIP seats in total, five of which are occupied by the five family heads. The remaining four, if Wutan guessed correctly, must be reserved for the four elders.
Apart from the nine VIP seats, there are no other seats. It seems that there are only these few people who are qualified to enter the Fire Meteorite Palace.
As expected by Wutan, not long after the five family heads sat down, four figures walked out of the Huoyun Palace one after another.
The leader was a middle-aged man who did not reveal any aura, but his body seemed to be transformed from a peerless divine weapon, giving people a piercing sharpness!
This person is the true ruler of the Sword Sect, the Sword Master!
Behind the sword master are two women, a woman in red on the left and a woman in green on the right.
They are the controllers of Qing Sect and Xu Sect, the Lord of Fire and the Lord of Life. Both of them are dressed in floor-length dresses, beautiful and dignified. Although they are old monsters who have lived for countless years, they still have charm.
Behind the three men was an old man with a ruddy face and vigorous spirit. When Wutan saw this man, the murderous aura in his heart rose uncontrollably, because this man was actually the elder!
Walking down the stone steps, the Sword Master smiled slightly and said with a bow, "My fellow family heads, it's been many years since we last met. You are still as brave and majestic as before, and full of vigor and energy!"
The heads of several families smiled at each other, stood up to greet him, and the head of the He family shook his head and said, "Sword Master, we have been friends for tens of thousands of years. Why are you being so polite? Come on, come on, please take a seat."
"Haha! Lord of Fire, Lord of Life, so many years have passed, I wonder if you still miss me!" said the head of the rich family with a smile.
The head of the Gui family sighed, "Yes! Ever since we parted that day, I have been looking forward to my two sisters coming to visit me in Huoyun Valley every day. I never thought that I would wait for tens of thousands of years. Now that I can finally see my two sisters again as I wish, I can die without regrets."
"My two elder brothers, your words are not sincere! Everyone knows that Huoyue Valley is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. What's more, there are two beautiful ladies, Sister Hua and Sister Rong. With them around, why would you still miss the two of us?"
Several people sat down in the VIP seats and began to happily talk about the past, but no one paid any attention to the old man.
This is the difference in status and strength. The sword masters are either the heads of a family or the controllers of a sect, and their cultivation is basically above the half-step unparalleled stage.
As for the old man, he was just a cultivator who had reached the perfect stage of divine transformation. Although he possessed the status of an imperial forbidden master, in the eyes of several living fossils, he was obviously not good enough. Naturally, no one would pay attention to him and leave him aside.
Glancing at the sword masters and the others, Wu Tian's mind moved, and a shadow suddenly appeared beside him, asking, "What is their cultivation level?"
After a brief observation, Shadow shook his head and said with disdain, "Except for Elder Su, the others are all in the Half-Step Unparalleled Stage. Only the Sword Master is special and cannot be judged by common sense, but that's all."
Suddenly, Shadow's expression changed slightly, and he frowned and said, "A strong man has appeared."
"Strong?"
Wutan was shocked. There are not many people in this world who can be called strong men by Shadow. Could it be the mysterious man who appeared in the low mountain last night
Shadow smiled and shook his head, saying, "Sir, stop looking around. This person came out of Huoyue Palace. If I'm not mistaken, he should be the owner of Huoyue Valley, Zhuo Wandian."
"Are you so sure?" Wutan was surprised.
"Of course, because next to him, there is a very familiar aura. She seems to be the Sikong Yanran that you have been thinking about day and night!" Shadow joked.
"You're still in the mood to joke around now. It looks like you can handle it easily without my gift."
"cough!"
Shadow coughed dryly and smiled awkwardly, "That won't do. You saw it last night. There is a powerful warrior who is in the minor stage of peerless success hiding in the depths of Fire Meteorite Valley. I am good enough to kill Zhuo Wandian and others with my primary Saint Forbidden Technique, but if I run into this person, I will have to restore my strength to its peak state. So, I advise you to make plans to escape as soon as possible."
"Minor success stage!" Wutan was shocked. He didn't expect that the mysterious man's cultivation level was actually at the unparalleled minor success stage. No wonder he could detect his divine thoughts at the first moment.
Then, Wutan calmed his mind and fixed his eyes on the gate of Huoyun Palace.
Gradually, two figures appeared in the sight. They were a man and a woman, both wearing bright red wedding gowns. However, the man was naturally completely ignored by Wutan. He stared straight at the woman in red beside him, without moving his eyes.
Because this woman was none other than Sikong Yanran, whom she had not seen for more than ten years!
