I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Jinman handed the ancient jade to Mingchuan.

"Don't worry, those demon cultivators are running around like headless flies. As long as this ancient jade is in your hands, they can't do anything."

"Put it away first. Your ice flame can temporarily protect its essence. There's no rush to repair it. First, make sure no one wants to take it anymore."

Mingchuan put the ancient jade into the storage bag and connected it with the dual fire aura in his body. Sure enough, he felt the tremors of the ancient jade gradually subsided, as if it had found a temporary shelter.

Mingchuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

"Since everyone hates the demonic cultivators, why don't we hide this ancient jade and not tell anyone about it? We can just tell everyone that the demonic cultivators are trying to steal our resources, unite with people from other sects, capture them, and then secretly deal with them. How about that?"

Jin Man was about to leave, but when she heard his words, she stopped, turned around to look at him, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"You are really cruel, kid."

Mingchuan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do you think this method is not feasible?"

Jin Man said happily: "Of course, as long as you can make sure that you can hide the ancient treasure well. We can rest for a while tonight."

"Okay!" Mingchuan agreed.

He had already started planning in his mind how to win over people from other sects.

"Let's go, tell Su Hao and the others that we might need to move to another place." Jin Man removed the barrier. "Since we need to collect the power of the Fire Spirit, we can't just stay here and wait for death."

Mingchuan nodded and followed, already having a plan in mind.

The road to repairing the Burning Sky Ancient Jade is bound to be dangerous, but as long as you can control the space of this secret realm, everything will be worth it.

And those demonic cultivators and sects that block the way... are just right for training.

The disciples outside the cave were still waiting quietly. When Su Hao saw the two men coming out, he hurried forward and said, "Elder, Junior Brother Zi'ang, have you rested well?"

Jin Man nodded and glanced at everyone. "Well, let's rest for the night. Get ready. We'll be moving to a new location tomorrow. The road ahead might be even more difficult than when we dealt with the Molten Beast."

Although the disciples had doubts, they knew that the matter was not simple after seeing the expressions of Mingchuan and Jinman, and they nodded in agreement.

Only Luo Yang looked at Mingchuan, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

What happened during the time they were away?

Why were the two of them so mysterious when they came out?

……

The next day.

It was just daybreak and the red mist had not yet dissipated when rustling sounds were heard in the cave.

The disciples rubbed their sleepy eyes and packed their luggage. Su Hao and Luo Yang had already been guarding the cave entrance, looking at the thick fog outside with vigilance.

When Mingchuan and Jinman came out from the depths, they both had recovered their spirits.

Jin Man changed into a dark-colored outfit that was easy to move in. She had shed her yesterday's charm and looked more neat.

Mingchuan hid the Burning Sky Ancient Jade close to his body, with a faint icy flame lingering on his fingertips, always on guard against possible danger.

They didn't even tell anyone in their own sect about this.

Mingchuan was even planning to turn against Jinman at any time and snatch this thing back to himself.

"Are you all ready?" Jin Man glanced at everyone. "Today we're heading west, where the Fire Spirit aura is stronger. There's a Burning Sky Valley there, which should contain the secret realm's purest Fire Spirit node."

The disciples responded and followed the two out of the cave.

The moment the barrier was removed, a biting cold wind mixed with sparks blew in my face, even stronger than yesterday.

The fog on the west side was dark red, as if it had been burned by flames, and the fire spirit power in the air was so thick that it was almost solidified.

Seeing this strange scene, many disciples were stunned. For a moment, they felt a little scared and were too timid to move forward.

Jinman didn't delay at all.

After walking for about an hour, the fog ahead suddenly became thinner, revealing an open valley.

There are no plants in the valley, only scorched rocks everywhere. From time to time, scorching air gushes out from the cracks in the rocks. A few fiery red spiritual herbs can be vaguely seen swaying in the cracks.

It is the Burning Heart Grass used to refine high-level fire-attribute elixirs!

"It's the Burning Heart Grass!" a disciple exclaimed in surprise, "This is a rare thing!"

Jin Man frowned slightly: "Something is wrong. How can such a pure land of fire spirit be so quiet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently.

A dull roar came from under the scorched stone, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up from the cracks in the stone. Then, lizard-like monsters with bodies nearly ten feet long broke out of the ground. They were covered with lava-like scales and had forked tongues sticking out of their mouths. They were the Red Prison Lizards that fed on Burning Heart Grass!

"It's the Red Prison Lizard!" Luo Yang's face changed drastically. "This thing is a social monster with thick skin and flesh, and it's not afraid of fire attacks!"

In a blink of an eye, dozens of red prison lizards surrounded everyone, forming an ever-shrinking encirclement.

Everyone watching was feeling uneasy.

Mingchuan immediately wrapped his ancient jade more tightly, fearing that it would fall here!

At this moment, the scales of these things gleamed with metallic luster in the firelight, and when their limbs kicked the ground, the charred stones were crushed into pieces.

"Watch out for their tail whips!"

Jin Man shouted and summoned a purple-gold flame, transforming it into a shield to block the front. "This thing's tail can pump out molten lava!"

Before he could finish his words, a red prison lizard swung its tail violently, and a stream of boiling molten lava came like a whip, hitting the flame shield hard, making a sizzling sound, and actually smashed a crack in the shield!

"You can't just resist!"

Mingchuan let out a low roar, and the bone-eroding ice flame suddenly erupted, turning into an ice cone and shooting towards the nearest red prison lizard.

The ice spike hit the scales, and although it failed to pierce through, it made the red prison lizard cry out in pain, and its movements were obviously slowed down.

Seeing this scene, Mingchuan couldn't help but curse in his heart.

If it weren't for this group of people, he could have used the Nine Dragon Sword to chop this thing to death directly!

"They are afraid of ice!" Mingchuan shouted, "Brother Luo Yang, use your Xuanbing Talisman!"

Luo Yang reacted very quickly and immediately took out a few pieces of blue talisman paper. After injecting spiritual power into them, the talisman paper turned into several ice walls, temporarily blocking the several red prison lizards on the left.

Su Hao led his disciples to form a defensive formation, and the fire dragon whips were interwoven into a net, barely blocking the attack from the right.

But the number of red prison lizards was too large, and new monsters kept emerging from the ground, causing the ice wall and fire net to crumble.

A red prison lizard seized the opportunity, suddenly rushed in front of a disciple, opened its bloody mouth and bit him!

"careful!"

Mingchuan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and the phantom flame quietly turned into a purple line, wrapping around the neck of the Red Prison Lizard.

Although the phantom flame could not hurt its scales, it could interfere with its soul. The Red Prison Lizard froze in its tracks, and the disciple took the opportunity to stab it in the eyes with a dagger!

That's its weakness.

"hiss!"

The Red Prison Lizard let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground, twitching.

"Attack their eyes!"

Mingchuan shouted and rushed forward, the bone-eroding ice flame condensed into a spear, and accurately pierced the left eye of a red prison lizard!
