Junior sister took first place again

Under the crimson sky, six figures quickly walked out of the teleportation array.

Shi Yan's bronze pestle slammed into the ground, spider-web cracks spreading wildly along the red crystal ground, and golden-red slurry stretched out tentacles from the cracks like a living thing.

"The purity of the Earth Fire Crystal is over 70%." Wen Yan's fingertips hovered above a cluster of vibrant crystals, and the hexagrams on the six-line disk rotated frantically. "At 12:30 pm, the concentration of the fire poison will reach five times that of Jingzhe Island."

Icy mist suddenly burst out of the medicine bag on Lan Ying's waist, and twelve black ice needles formed a circular barrier. In a blink of an eye, she had refined six Ice Soul Pills. "Take this sublingually. It can resist fire poison for three hours. Senior Sister Lin?"

Ning Jiasheng's formation banners had already been deployed, twelve black iron flags woven into a star formation. Three arrows swirled with netherfire slammed into the formation curtain, and the exploding poisonous mist condensed into the shape of a skull.

"Lengfeng Fort's bone-eating arrows." Mu Zhao's Dragon Roar Sword hummed in its sheath, the dragon eye on the hilt glowing golden. "The Xizhou weapon refining family has also tried to wade into this mess."

"They're running for their lives." Ning Jiasheng suddenly turned southwest, and a green flame ignited at the tip of the formation flag. The crystal mountain ten feet away exploded, and seven silver-robed monks charged out on their weapons. Behind them, a pack of fire wolves formed from magma, each with three heads.

"Fellow Daoist from the Xuanling Sect!" The young master of Lengfeng Fort threw the half-melted silver shield at the wolves, "Help us escape, and return the Fire Sign..."

Before Shi Yan's heavy pestle fell, nineteen lattices suddenly appeared on the ground.

The Fire Wolf transformed into a red chess piece and shot up, forming a cage above everyone's heads. Sparks suddenly erupted from Wen Yan's six-line chessboard: "Star Sect's Secret: Burning Heaven Chess Formation! Every chess piece is the essence of earth fire!"

As the poisonous mist in Han Jinyu's sleeves appeared, it was swept back by Ning Jiasheng's formation flag. Three rotten heart nails crashed into the "Tianyuan" crystal lattice, and the entire chess formation suddenly began to sink.

Mu Zhao's scabbard had sunk into the boiling magma, and the Dragon Roar Sword automatically emerged three inches from its sheath.

"Seven steps to the Xun position, the Zhen position transforms into Kan." Ning Jiasheng suddenly grabbed Mu Zhao's wrist, and his fingertips traced the sword pattern on his palm. "The third move of the Canglang Sword Technique is to draw the earth fire into a tide."

The whistling sound of the Dragon Roar Sword resounded through the heavens, and the sword energy, wrapped in magma, surged upward. The moment the chess formation flipped, a boiling molten lake appeared beneath everyone's feet, and 360 red crystal chess pieces were suspended within it, the emblems on the chess pieces reflecting the conflicts between the various factions.

"The Wuling Wei clan is seizing the Tianshu position." Wen Yan's copper coin bounced in the Kan position. "But the Tianshui Cui clan's Mingyue Sword Formation is forcing a strong attack on Kaiyang..."

Seven crescent-shaped sword beams suddenly ripped through the sky, shattering the protective jade pendants of the five Wei clan members. The moon pendant on the Cui clan leader's forehead glowed coldly, "Wei Mingran, you're not going to get this fire sign!"

Ning Jiasheng's formation flag suddenly inserted into the dead end of the chessboard, and twelve green flames spread wildly along the crystal grid: "Junior Brother Shi, the third square of the Qian position!"

The heavy bronze pestle crashed down, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The Yuheng rank representing the Xuanling Sect within the molten lake suddenly surged. Before Han Jinyu's poison needle could be launched, the Cui and Wei pawns were engulfed in a cyan light. "How dare you..."

"The Burning Heaven Chess Formation is most afraid of greed for victory." Ning Jiasheng stepped on the formation flag and leaped into the center of the formation. Thirty-six talismans flew out of his sleeves. "Wen Yan, leave the Fire Position!"

The copper coin on the hexagram plate suddenly stood upright and spun. Blood oozed from Wen Yan's fingertips. "Thirty feet due west, there's a gap in the earth veins!"

Mu Zhao's sword energy split the lava, and the moment the crimson jade skewer emerged, the entire island suddenly fell silent. The flowing lava instantly froze into ice, and the shadowy figure of a Bishui Sect disciple emerged from the depths of the cold pond.

"Fellow Daoist from the Xuanling Sect." The phantom of Mu Qingge, leader of the Bishui Sect, smiled, holding a water sign. "Trading a fire sign for three water signs. This deal..."

Ning Jiasheng tossed the fire sign into the icy pond, and the phoenix pattern suddenly came to life. The moment the crimson flames erupted, the seven layers of illusion shattered like glass. The real Mu Qingge fell from the ice crystals, the water sign in her hand now connected to the fire sign's aura.

"The Renshui Formation appeared on Lihuo Island, like raising a torch in a sea of ​​oil."

Ning Jiasheng's battle flag pinned down the Hehuan Palace disciples who were trying to escape. "Not to mention..."

She suddenly raised her hand and tore the sky apart. In the clouds dyed red by the Burning Sky Chess Formation, the twelve water mirrors of the Hehuan Palace were slowly rotating.

Lin Yuejian's peach blossom fan froze in mid-air, Cui's sword energy still stained the fan bones. "When did you find out?"

"It started with the bone-eating arrows from Coldfront Fort."

Ning Jiasheng recalled the fire sign, which had been shrouded in the aura of the Bishui Sect. "To send the Western Region's weapon-refining families into such panic, besides the Star Chess Formation, there must be even more terrifying pursuers..."

The ground suddenly shook violently, and 360 chess pieces exploded simultaneously. The shattered ice beneath their feet revealed an ancient altar buried deep underground—a new rule had been triggered.
