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

Two days later, in the early morning, the courtyard of Burning Heaven Pavilion was filled with a faint aura of fire spirit.

Mingchuan was sitting cross-legged on the bluestone, and the golden flames flowing from his fingertips wrapped the Liuyun soft sword tightly.

Sometimes the sword turned into a ten-foot-long fire whip, making the air crackle.

Sometimes it shrinks into an inch-long sharp edge, jumping flexibly on the fingertips, and even the sunlight is cut into tiny spots of light by the sword blade.

Not far away, a pair of eyes were silently watching his every move.

The look was so delighted with Cang Ziang's diligence that he nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

"Zi'ang, are you there?"

When Su Hongzhen's voice penetrated the restriction and reached Mingchuan, he was twisting the soft sword into a spiral. The flame patterns on the sword were like a living red snake, swallowing and spitting out its tongue as his spiritual power flowed.

He flicked his wrist, and the soft sword retracted into the sheath with a "whoosh". The flame pattern on the sheath suddenly lit up and went out, as if it had never moved.

"The disciple is here."

Mingchuan pushed the door open and saw Su Hongzhen standing in the morning light, with a layer of frost on his face. The corners of his black Taoist robe were lifted by the mountain breeze, revealing the intricate Burning Sky Pattern embroidered on his cuffs.

That is a mark that only the clan leader can wear.

"The loophole in the secret realm has been found."

Su Hongzhen got straight to the point, pointing his finger toward the western sky. "Deep within Broken Cloud Peak lies a spatial rift devoured by demonic energy. Three of the disciples we sent to investigate yesterday died before we finally understood the rift's details."

Mingchuan's heart sank.

This crack looks unusual. It actually caused three people from the Qingcheng Yufa Sect to die in succession!

For a moment, he actually prayed deep down that this guy had nothing else to do with him, and that he would let their sect lose a few more disciples...

However, the Burning Sky Ancient Jade is in his hands. Since Su Hongzhen came here, he must be here for this thing.

Mingchuan twitched his lips and asked worriedly, "Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

"That crack is connected to the space node inside the secret realm, and the demon cultivator got in from there." Su Hongzhen took out a yellowed map from his sleeve. When he spread it out, there was a glow of light flowing. He pointed and spoke.

"I tried to block it with the sect's secret method, but the evil energy inside backfired. Your Burning Sky Ancient Jade and Thunder Spirit Essence may be the only way."

Mingchuan took out two items from the storage ring.

As soon as the Burning Sky Ancient Jade appeared, it spontaneously emitted a half-foot-high red flame, dyeing the surrounding morning light into golden red.

The essence of the Thunder Spirit was wrapped in a layer of blue-purple electric light, crackling from time to time, facing the flame of the ancient jade from a distance, yet revealing a subtle echo.

"Let's go."

Su Hongzhen nodded and waved his hand with satisfaction.

Two balls of golden flames rose from their feet at the same time, as if they were stepping on a wind-fire wheel, and turned into two streams of light that flew straight towards Duanyun Peak.

The wind was whistling in his ears. Mingchuan looked down and saw mountains like waves and clouds like the sea.

The flames under Su Hongzhen's feet always held him firmly, without even a slight shake.

Mingchuan was secretly complaining in his heart.

This old guy seems to have some skills. I wonder when he will be able to empty their sect's funds...

Not long after.

The two arrived at Duan Yunfeng.

This Broken Cloud Peak is more hideous than imagined.

The exposed rock walls were a lifeless gray-black color, and even the most drought-resistant thorns had died in the cracks of the rocks. The air was filled with a smell similar to that of rotten meat mixed with sulfur, which stung people's nasal cavity.

In front of a concave mountain wall, Mingchuan finally saw the crack.

It was about half a foot wide, like a wound cut by a huge axe, and the rocks on the edge turned into charred powder.

The depths of the crack were as dark as ink, with a faint dark red light flowing.

Strands of demonic energy drilled out like living things, and when they landed on the ground, they corroded tiny holes in the bluestone slabs.

"This demonic energy... is even purer than that in the secret realm."

Mingchuan frowned and spoke, the golden flames at his fingertips spontaneously jumping, making a sizzling sound when colliding with the demonic energy.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. With such strength, it's no wonder that three monks were killed.

Su Hongzhen's eyes were solemn. "This rift was forcibly torn open by someone using a secret method. The space at the edge is still trembling."

He snapped his fingers, and a stream of golden spiritual energy hit the rock wall next to the crack, causing a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye.

That is a sign of spatial instability.

Seeing this, Mingchuan felt a little unhappy.

If it weren't for this group of evil cultivators causing trouble inside, they would still be able to continue to immerse themselves in the secret realm and search for new treasures.

It’s a pity that because they were afraid that the evil cultivators would cause trouble, he and Jin Man could only lead everyone away first.

"Take out your Burning Sky Ancient Jade and Thunder Spirit Essence." Su Hongzhen said.

Mingchuan nodded: "Yes."

He no longer hesitated and pressed the Burning Sky Ancient Jade against the crack.

As soon as the ancient jade came into contact with the demonic energy, it emitted a clear buzzing sound, and the patterns on its surface seemed to come alive. Twelve beams of red-gold light instantly lit up, interweaving into a giant net above the crack.

As soon as the evil spirits that were trying to drill out touched the beam of light, they exploded like boiling oil meeting water and turned into wisps of green smoke.

"Add the essence of Thunder Spirit!" Su Hongzhen shouted in a deep voice and formed seals with his hands.

The air in front of him suddenly twisted, and a huge seal made of flames emerged. The word "burn" in the center of the seal was shining brightly, sucking together the surrounding spiritual energy and forming a spiritual energy vortex visible to the naked eye.

Even Mingchuan couldn't help but show a bit of surprise on his face at this powerful vortex of spiritual energy.

He immediately followed his instructions and pressed the essence of the Thunder Spirit onto the ancient jade.

As soon as the blue-purple lightning came into contact with the red-gold flame, it burst into a dazzling light. The two forces were like close friends who had met again after a long separation. They intertwined in an instant and flowed into the cracks along the ancient jade.

Deep in the originally dark crack, a golden and silver beam of light suddenly appeared, illuminating the rock wall.

Su Hongzhen seized the opportunity and suddenly pushed the fire seal in front of him towards the crack.

The moment the seal collided with the beam of light, the entire Duanyun Peak trembled slightly, and Mingchuan could even hear the "cracking" sound of the space healing!

The charred rocks at the edge of the crack peeled off at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the brand new blue-gray rock wall underneath.

Even the stench in the air faded a bit.

At this moment, Su Hongzhen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his gaze swept towards the dense forest on the left like lightning: "You have been hiding for so long, it's time to come out."

Mingchuan's heart tightened, and he followed his gaze. He saw a few faint green lights flickering in the shadows deep in the dense forest.

That is the unique pupil technique of the demon cultivators!

He was just about to activate the Liuyun soft sword, but saw Su Hongzhen just casually raised his right hand, and a barely perceptible golden light condensed at the tip of his index finger.

"call out!"

The golden light flew out of his hand, and there was no sound at all, as if it had merged into the air.

The next second, a ball of fire a meter high suddenly exploded in the depths of the dense forest, and a scream that was so shrill that it did not sound like a human voice came from the flames.

A figure in a black robe could be vaguely seen twisting and melting in the fire. Even his soul didn't have time to escape before it was burned to ashes!
