In the cave of Purgatory Mountain, Jiang Yuebai paced back and forth.
"No, isn't Qing Nangzi the savior of you and my master? How could he plot against you, and why?"
Zhao Fuyi's injuries had mostly recovered, and he moved his body slightly, "How did you know about the Qing Nangzi? Did Li Jiuchuan tell you?"
"My master is not the kind of person who doesn't keep his mouth shut. It was the Grand Elder who got drunk and insisted on telling me. Anyway, she told me everything that should and shouldn't be said."
Zhao Fuyi frowned, "I suspect that there is... an ancestor of the ghost clan who was suppressed during the catastrophe of the sky falling under the Shenji Ridge in the center of Cangyan Land, and he wants to... take over my body."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly realized, "So this whole thing is aimed at you, and all of us foundation-building disciples are unlucky?"
Zhao Fuyi looked at Jiang Yuebai, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After struggling for a long time, she pulled out a square jade plate from her lapel.
"Inject your spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy into the Four Symbols Disk."
Jiang Yuebai took the jade plate and looked at it. The stars on it were complex and connected to each other. It was dazzling, but it looked a little familiar.
"What is this? Why does it require me to inject my spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy?"
"Just do it!" Zhao Fuyi shouted coldly.
Jiang Yue's face fell, "Master Fuyi, can you understand the situation now? I don't have a grudge against you, but we are not on good terms either. I am a very narrow-minded person, and I always believe in being on guard against others. If you don't explain clearly what you are doing, don't expect me to listen."
"You!" Zhao Fuyi's chest heaved and her face looked surprised. She had accumulated a lot of prestige in the sect. Even the Yuanying Zhenjun of the same generation did not dare to speak to her like this.
But the situation was such that she had to bow her head.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Fuyi turned his head and explained in a deep voice, "This is the main array disk of the Four Symbols Eight Diagrams Array. My Dantian has been damaged by the Sealed Divine Soul. I need you to activate the main array disk so that the array devices at the eight array points will react. Let others know that I am fine and the mission continues."
"Four Symbols and Eight Diagrams Formation?"
Jiang Yuebai subconsciously touched the storage bracelet on her wrist. Wasn't that the one she got from the sect's library, one of the formation inheritances of the founder Lu Xingyun
"This is one of the nine famous formations that our master made. Unfortunately, I have never inherited the formation from him. I have only figured it out on my own and still need the help of eight formation points to set up the formation."
Jiang Yuebai laughed angrily, "It's already this time, and you're still thinking about setting up the formation?"
"At this moment, the only way to completely resolve the hidden danger is to set up the Four Symbols Formation in Shenji Ridge and let people from outside in!" Zhao Fuyi said firmly.
Jiang Yuebai said angrily, "The formation is certainly important, but are the lives of us foundation-building cultivators unimportant? The real situation in the Blue Flame Land is obviously different from what we have explored before. Who knows if the formation plan has been leaked? Are the evil cultivators of the Three Origins Sect ambushed at various formation points, waiting for them to die?"
"It's impossible to set up this formation. If Master Fuyi wants to be famous, then go and complete the eight formation points yourself, and don't drag others down with you!"
Zhao Fuyi glared at Jiang Yuebai fiercely, his face flushed, and he vomited a mouthful of blood unexpectedly.
After vomiting, he became deflated and collapsed, sneering at himself.
"The Grand Elder has really told you a lot of things. If I say again that I am not trying to attract attention, you will not believe me. Go now."
“If there is a way to notify the others, then have everyone withdraw. I will figure out how to set up the formation myself. At worst, I can just explode my Nascent Soul and be buried in the sea of fire with the remaining ghosts. This way, my life will not be in vain.”
Earthly evil fire
Jiang Yuebai's ears pricked up. Isn't the Earthly Evil Fire the spiritual fire
She remembered that the book recorded that the Earthly Evil Fire was overbearing and fierce, and was a type of Yin Fire. In addition to the characteristics of fire, it specifically burned the soul and corroded the mind. Cultivators below the Golden Core stage could be directly burned into mad evil corpses.
For cultivators above the Golden Core stage who come into contact with the Earthly Evil Fire, although it will not be fatal, their souls will be severely damaged, and they will be haunted by evil spirits and harbor inner demons.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes rolled. The evil fire was difficult to control, but the land of Cang Yan was in this state now, with evil corpses everywhere. Perhaps the Earth Evil Fire was the only spiritual fire she could find.
Originally, she had thought of taking Zhao Fuyi out first. Since the others could not receive the signal from the main array, they might give up the mission after seeing the changes here. This would also reduce unnecessary casualties. But now it seems that the array map is in her hands and the Earth Evil Fire is also ahead. It is as if the heaven is pushing her to move forward.
No matter what, she cannot give up the Earthly Evil Fire, but she also cannot let too many people sacrifice their lives.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai pinched the storage bracelet containing the formation diagram, deliberately looked serious, and pretended to be righteous, not wanting to lose face in front of Zhao Fuyi who looked down on her.
Zhao Fuyi turned her head and stared at Jiang Yuebai, her eyes shocked, and after a moment she sneered.
"You want the Earthly Devil Fire."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Yuebai jumped up and down to deny, "I... I don't want my master to be sad."
Zhao Fuyi sneered, "For the sake of the Earthly Evil Fire, are you willing to drag others to your death?"
Jiang Yuebai rolled his eyes, took out the "Four Symbols and Eight Diagrams Diagram" from the bracelet, and threw it in front of Zhao Fuyi.
"Take it and see if there is any way to set up the formation without relying on eight formation points."
If she didn't have the formation diagram in her hand, she wouldn't take the risk.
Zhao Fuyi frowned in confusion and glanced at Jiang Yuebai before taking the thick animal skin scroll. As soon as she opened it, she sat up abruptly, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.
"How do you have this map? This is impossible. I have been practicing formations since I was young, so my attainments in formations cannot be lower than yours. The jade disk of enlightenment on the top of the library was left by the founder himself. I have been there more than ten times but never got the map. How come you got it after only going there once?"
At this moment, Zhao Fuyi felt that the thing he had always been proud of was ruthlessly shattered.
And this slap was given by the founder himself!
Jiang Yuebai pretended to be helpless, "I don't want it either. What I want is the way of talismans or the way of elixirs. Even if you can give me the inheritance of refining equipment, you just gave me this picture."
"You! You don't know what's good for you!" Zhao Fuyi cursed angrily, holding the animal skin tightly with trembling hands, treating it as a treasure.
Jiang Yuebai opened and closed his mouth, afraid that Zhao Fuyi would be so angry that he would vomit blood again.
"I don't care whether you can accept it or not. Please study this picture quickly and return it to me after you're done. Don't try to keep it for yourself. I'll go outside to see if the search team has left. I still have this medicine. You can take it if you want."
Jiang Yuebai left the Awakening Spirit Pill and the Clear Soul Pill and turned to leave the cave.
After spreading the wind net, there was nothing unusual around except the Fire Scale Beast, and the previous search team left.
With the help of the red fluorescence on the rocks, Jiang Yuebai checked the map given by Li Jiuchuan and found the location of Shenji Ridge.
According to the illustration on the map, there is a volcano and an abandoned mine in Shenji Ridge. The surrounding area is full of fire-eating longicorn beetles and various fire-loving monsters, and there are many dangers.
Shenji Ridge is 1,300 miles northwest of Purgatory Mountain. It is easy for her to fly there alone, but it would be difficult to bring Zhao Fuyi with her.
"Perhaps... we can find a solution from the search team."

At the same time, beneath the Shenjiling volcano.
The young girl, dressed in a black robe, walked barefoot up the obsidian steps to the center of the altar.
Beneath the altar, dark red evil fire was burning fiercely.
Three black-robed monks knelt at the edge of the altar, representing the corpse vein, bone vein, and soul vein of the ghost clan respectively.
The girl pulled down her hood, revealing a bright and pretty face with an inconsistently pious smile. It was Lin Suiwan who had disappeared from the Tianyan Sect earlier.
"No need to wait any longer. Follow me to wake up the Blood Smoke Ancestor first. After nine days, when the Ancestor's spirit and mine merge, it won't be too late to look for Zhao Fuyi then!"
