Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er were trapped in a room filled with strange black flames. The temperature around them rose sharply, and the air was slightly distorted by the burning. The black flames were like a demon with bared fangs and claws, jumping wildly, as if trying to devour them.

"Senior Brother Xiao, what should we do?" Lin Wan'er's voice trembled slightly, and her beautiful face turned slightly pale due to the heat and fear.

Xiao Muchen's eyes were as firm as a torch. He held Lin Wan'er's hand tightly and comforted her, "Junior Sister Wan'er, don't be afraid. I will definitely protect you." His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to respond.

At this moment, a light bulb went off in Xiao Muchen's mind, and he suddenly remembered the strange fire in his body - the Netherworld Poison Fire.

"How could I forget about this treasure!" Xiao Muchen felt annoyed.

He immediately closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and mobilized the Netherworld Poison Fire in his body. A wisp of dark blue flame slowly rose from his palm. The flame was like a living being, beating and emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. The surrounding black flames seemed to feel the power of the Netherworld Poison Fire and burned more crazily and fiercely, as if they were protesting against the Netherworld Poison Fire, trying to stop it with a stronger high temperature and oppression.

Xiao Muchen snorted coldly: "With just an ordinary fire like you, you dare to be so arrogant in front of the strange fire!" His voice was firm and powerful, full of confidence and contempt.

Xiao Muchen controlled the Netherworld Poison Fire to spread to the surrounding black flames. When the Netherworld Poison Fire came into contact with the black flames, a "sizzling" sound was heard, and the black flames began to tremble and retreat as if they had encountered a natural enemy. The Netherworld Poison Fire was like a hungry beast, devouring the black flames mercilessly. Wherever it went, the black flames were extinguished and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated in the air.

Soon, the black flames in the room were completely devoured by the Netherworld Poison Fire. The temperature in the room, which was originally scorching hot, quickly dropped.

"That's great, Senior Brother Xiao, we are saved!" Lin Wan'er was ecstatic, her beautiful eyes sparkling with joy of surviving the disaster and admiration for Xiao Muchen.

Xiao Muchen smiled slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This is all thanks to the Netherworld Poison Fire."

The two took a short break and continued to explore the manor carefully. In a secret room, they found more secrets about the Shadow Cult, including a detailed map of the base distribution and a careful action plan.

"I didn't expect that the Shadow Cult was so insidious and cunning, and actually planned such a big conspiracy." Lin Wan'er looked at the documents in her hand, frowned, and said worriedly.

Xiao Muchen clenched his fists, his joints turning white from the force: "We must bring this information back to Qingshan Sect as soon as possible, so that the Sect Master and the elders can be prepared."

Just as they were about to leave the manor, they suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps and shouting outside.

"Oh no, maybe the people from the Shadow Cult have discovered us." Xiao Muchen's face instantly became solemn. He protected Lin Wan'er behind him and looked towards the door vigilantly.

The two quietly walked to the door of the manor and looked out through the crack in the door, only to see that the outside was full of members of the Shadow Cult. They all held weapons, had fierce looks on their faces, and looked determined to win.

"Hmph, you actually dared to break into our secret base? Don't even think about leaving alive today!" A leading Shadow Cultist said viciously, his voice hoarse and harsh, like a demon from hell.

Xiao Muchen showed no fear and stepped forward: "You think you can stop us?" His voice was loud and firm, full of fearless courage.

After that, Xiao Muchen rushed out first, the Star Sword in his hand flashing with dazzling light, the Netherworld Poison Fire attached to the sword, making the sword surrounded by a layer of dark blue flames. He swung the sword vigorously, and a blue flame sword energy swept out like a long rainbow piercing the sun. Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was burned and made a "crackling" sound. The members of the Shadow Cult had no time to dodge, and were instantly knocked down by the sword energy. They fell to the ground in pain, wailing one after another.

Lin Wan'er was not to be outdone. She shouted softly, and the ribbon in her hand flew towards the enemy like a spirit snake emerging from a cave. The ribbon drew graceful arcs in the air, and each swing brought with it a powerful fighting spirit, hitting the enemy's vital points.

Although there were many members of the Shadow Cult, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er gradually gained the upper hand with their strong strength and tacit cooperation. They moved freely among the enemy groups as fast as lightning, and wherever they went, the enemies fell one after another.

However, a powerful master suddenly appeared in the Shadow Cult. He was wearing a black robe and a hideous mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. He exuded a terrifying aura that made people shudder.

"Boy, let me meet you!" The master said, and his figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Muchen. He held a black long sword in his hand, and the blade flashed with a strange light, and chopped towards Xiao Muchen fiercely.

Xiao Muchen felt the strong pressure from the opponent, and his breathing stagnated slightly, but he did not retreat. Instead, he gritted his teeth and went forward. The Star Sword and the black long sword collided with each other, making a loud noise and sparks flying. The two of them instantly started a fierce duel, and the swords intersected, making a series of crisp collision sounds.

Xiao Muchen only felt a strong force coming from the opponent's knife, which made his arm numb. But he still endured it, constantly adjusting his moves and steps, trying to find the opponent's flaws.

Lin Wan'er watched anxiously, her eyes fixed on the master, looking for any possible opportunity. Suddenly, she discovered that the master's left side had a momentary weakness in defense every time he attacked.

"Senior Brother Xiao, his left side defense is weak!" Lin Wan'er shouted loudly, her voice full of anxiety and concern.

When Xiao Muchen heard Lin Wan'er's reminder, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes. He instantly changed the direction of his attack, and the Star Sword in his hand, with the Netherworld Poison Fire, stabbed fiercely at the left side of the master.

The master was caught off guard and was stabbed by Xiao Muchen's sword. The netherworld poisonous fire instantly invaded his body, and he screamed, fell to the ground, and rolled over in pain.

When the members of the Shadow Cult saw their leader being defeated, their morale was immediately thrown into chaos. They began to panic and fled in all directions.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er took the opportunity to get rid of the enemy's encirclement and quickly rushed back to Qingshan Sect. Along the way, they did not dare to stop for a moment, with only one thought in mind: to bring the information back to the sect as soon as possible.

After returning to Qingshan Gate, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er did not take time to rest, and immediately reported the intelligence they found in the manor to the head and elders.

After hearing this, the head of the sect looked as serious as iron: "It seems that the Shadow Cult has come with ill intentions. We must be fully prepared to face the battle."

Xiao Muchen stood up and said with a firm gaze: "Master, I am willing to lead the disciples in the sect to fight against the Shadow Cult!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, full of determination and courage.

Other disciples also responded and expressed their willingness to fight for the sect. For a time, the Qingshan Sect was filled with excitement and morale was high.

In the following days, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er intensified their training and helped the sect prepare fortifications and strategic deployment. They knew that a war was coming and they had to be fully prepared...
