Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and his companions hurried back to the sect with the news of the Purple Lotus Fire Map. However, they had never expected that this major discovery would spread like a huge rock into a calm lake, and within a few days, it would spread across the entire continent like a storm.

All forces on the continent took action upon hearing the news, and the seemingly calm situation suddenly became turbulent. Among them, the mysterious and ruthless Hades reacted the fastest and quickly made a series of actions.

Xiao Muchen knew very well that this matter was of great importance. In order to prevent the map from falling into the hands of others, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He immediately summoned his teacher Mo Lao, sect master Ye Xuan and many elders to the sect's magnificent and solemn hall to discuss countermeasures.

The atmosphere in the sect's main hall was solemn and depressing. Huge stone pillars supported the dome, and the lights on the wall flickered, reflecting the serious faces of the people. Xiao Muchen stood in the hall with a serious face, and his eyes swept over the people present. His figure appeared firm and resolute in the interweaving of light and shadow.

"Everyone, the news of the Zi Lan You Lian Fire Map has spread throughout the continent, and various forces are eyeing it covetously. We must respond cautiously. If we are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous." Xiao Muchen's voice echoed in the hall, with deep worry and determination.

Mo Lao nodded slightly. He sat on a chair beside him, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper because of worry. Time has left traces on his face, but his eyes are still sharp. "Mu Chen is right. This turmoil is probably more dangerous than we imagined. Especially the Hades, who have always been treacherous and cruel. We have to be on guard. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and will definitely try every means to snatch the map." Mo Lao's voice was a little hoarse, but full of experience and wisdom.

Sect Master Ye Xuan sat in the first seat, holding the armrests tightly with both hands. The exquisite armrests seemed to have been pinched with shallow marks. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Not only the Nether Clan, but even our alliance is not trustworthy now. We just quelled the internal traitor incident not long ago. Who can guarantee that there are no more hidden spies? The map of the Purple Lanyou Lotus Fire must not be obtained by those with ulterior motives in the alliance. Once it falls into their hands, our sect and even the entire alliance will be in an irreparable situation."

An elder said worriedly: "But now that the news has spread, how can we keep this secret? And how can we guard against those forces that are secretly coveting it? Those forces are omnipresent and have many means. We must think of a foolproof plan." The elder stroked his beard, his eyes full of anxiety.

Xiao Muchen's eyes were firm. He took a step forward, clasped his hands and said, "In my opinion, we need to strengthen the sect's defense first. Set up multiple formations around the sect. These formations should not only have illusion formations to confuse the enemy, but also killing formations that can cause damage. Increase the number and frequency of patrolling disciples to keep them alert at all times. At the same time, send out spies to infiltrate various forces and find out their specific movements. In addition, we must also secretly observe the sects in the alliance and pay attention to their every move. Once any abnormal behavior is discovered, take action immediately and never tolerate it. Although I, Xiao Muchen, am only a one-star Dou Sheng at the peak of the late stage, I am confident that I can protect the sect."

Another elder went on to say, "We can also unite with some reliable allies to jointly resist possible threats. But when choosing allies, we must be extremely cautious to prevent being used by people with ulterior motives. In addition, we must prepare sufficient elixirs and weapons in advance in case of emergency."

Everyone nodded and began to discuss specific defense and countermeasures. Various suggestions and ideas were intertwined in the hall, and the atmosphere was heated and tense.

At this moment, a disciple hurried into the hall, looking panicked. He didn't even have time to salute, and shouted anxiously: "Report to the sect master, a group of mysterious people came outside the sect, their intentions are unknown, and they are shouting outside the gate."

Xiao Muchen and others' faces changed, and they all understood in their hearts that the real test had arrived.

Sect Master Ye Xuan stood up suddenly and shouted, "All elders, follow me to see who dares to be so presumptuous in our sect!"

Everyone walked out of the hall quickly and came to the sect gate. They saw a group of people wearing black cloaks standing there. They all wore masks on their faces, so their faces could not be seen clearly, but from the aura emanating from them, it could be felt that they had bad intentions.

The leader sneered and said, "Hand over the Purple Lotus Fire Map and I will spare your lives!"

Xiao Muchen took a step forward, and a powerful aura burst out instantly. His eyes were like lightning, and he shouted: "Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant! How dare you come here to act wildly? I, Xiao Muchen, am here, don't even think about being presumptuous!"

The man was shocked when he felt Xiao Muchen's powerful aura, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Humph, don't think we are afraid of you. We also have a Dou Sheng strongman in charge."

Xiao Muchen sensed it and said disdainfully: "He is just an early stage two-star Dou Sheng. In my eyes, he is not worth mentioning. If you dare to provoke me today, you must be prepared to fight back."

The man in black robe shouted angrily: "Arrogant! Let me show you how powerful we are." After that, he waved his hand to signal the people behind him to prepare to attack.

Xiao Muchen sneered, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the black-robed man in an instant, at a speed so fast that it was shocking. "Are you worthy enough?" Xiao Muchen shouted, and his fighting spirit surged, burning like a raging fire.

The black-robed man was startled and quickly tried to block the attack, but Xiao Muchen's attack was unstoppable and instantly broke his defense.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the man in black robe was knocked away by Xiao Muchen's punch and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, the other black-robed men rushed towards Xiao Muchen. Xiao Muchen was not afraid at all, he displayed his powerful fighting skills, each of which contained the power to destroy the world.

Suddenly, Xiao Muchen formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Suddenly, a ball of black flame appeared on his body, and there was a faint blue-green light flickering in the flame. It was the Netherworld Poison Fire.

As the Netherworld Poison Fire appeared, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and the movements of the black-robed people became slow. Xiao Muchen took the opportunity to launch an attack, and the flame in his hand was like a black dragon, pouncing on the black-robed people with bared fangs and claws.

The people in black robes were horrified to find that their fighting spirit quickly dissipated under the erosion of the Netherworld Poison Fire, and they were unable to withstand Xiao Muchen's attack at all.

At this moment, Xiao Muchen summoned another ball of fire. This ball of fire was purple and blue in color, with lightning flashing around it. It was the Wind and Thunder Flame.

The appearance of Wind, Thunder and Fury Flame made the entire battlefield violent. Xiao Muchen combined the Netherworld Poison Fire and Wind, Thunder and Fury Flame to form a powerful force. He waved his hands, and this force swept towards the black-robed man like a volcanic eruption.

The people in black robes had no power to fight back against this powerful force. They were knocked away one after another, with blood spurting out of their mouths.

Xiao Muchen stood in the center of the battlefield, flames burning on his body. His eyes were cold and firm, as if telling everyone that he was invincible.

Sect leader Ye Xuan and the elders watched the battle from the sidelines, feeling both shocked and relieved.

"Xiao Muchen is such a powerful child. It is a blessing for our sect." An elder sighed.

Mr. Mo smiled and nodded: "He is gifted and hardworking. Given time, he will become a great man."

On the battlefield, Xiao Muchen became more and more courageous as the battle went on. His fighting spirit seemed endless, and he beat the men in black robes without any chance of fighting back.

Finally, the people in black robes began to feel timid. They retreated one after another and dared not move forward.

Xiao Muchen stopped attacking and looked at them coldly: "Get lost! If you dare to attack me again, I will make sure you die without a burial place."

The men in black robes acted as if they had been granted amnesty. They lifted up their injured companions and fled in a panic.

Xiao Muchen turned and looked at the sect master and the elders: "These minions are just probing, there may be more powerful enemies behind. We must speed up the preparation of defense measures."

Everyone nodded, their expressions serious, and turned back to the sect to continue discussing countermeasures.
