After changing her master, she turned to the ruthless way, and the whole sect knelt down

Si Wu's brows moved slightly, as if she was interested in what Xie Mingzhu said.

Xie Mingzhu saw that the other party wanted him to continue, so he said obediently: "I know that you fellow Taoists are naturally incompatible with the Vermillion Bird. It may not be easy to contract the Vermillion Bird."

"But even though the Vermillion Bird spirit beast isn't a pure divine beast, its combat power is extraordinary. If other cultivators with ill intentions towards the Demon Sect were to obtain it, wouldn't it be a great threat to the Demon Sect?"

Si Wu couldn't help but chuckle: "What you said, don't you have any ill will towards our Demon Sect?"

"You are wrong, fellow Daoist. Since you know my name, you should also know why I was expelled from the Qingxiao Sect."

When Si Wu listened to Xie Mingzhu's words, she recalled this incident.

However, what she got from her stupid brother was quite different from the rumors outside.

It was because Si Wu knew Xie Mingzhu's true identity from Si Yu in advance that she threatened Xie Mingzhu right away.

She knew very well that for a woman like herself who only cared about herself and not others, this person would only do things obediently when it came to something that concerned her life.

At the moment, Xie Mingzhu was deliberately trying to be nice to her, and Si Wu also understood what she was thinking.

It was simply because they felt that the Vermillion Bird was extremely important, and that they, a group of demon cultivators, had no qualifications at all to obtain the Vermillion Bird egg.

If you don't want the righteous side to get the upper hand, you have to cooperate with her.

Not only can Xie Mingzhu use this opportunity to contract a powerful spirit beast, but she can also completely change her position on his side.

Apart from anything else, with Suzaku, at least she no longer has to worry about Si Wu attacking her.

Even though she knew Xie Mingzhu's little plan, she had to admit that Si Wu was really tempted.

After all, that is the Suzaku who is the natural nemesis of the evil cultivators!

If such a powerful being were to be held in the hands of the selfish Xie Mingzhu, he might not only be unable to help the righteous side, but might even suppress them.

After only a moment's thought, Si Wu made a decision: "Since Miss Xie is so confident, I'll leave this matter to you. I hope you won't disappoint me."

If Xie Mingzhu hadn't brought Zhuque back, what awaited her would have been an even more terrifying fate than what she is experiencing now.

……

After climbing for an unknown amount of time, the Qingxiao Sect team finally reached the top of the mountain.

There are actually quite a few good things on the Flame Mountain. Not only are there precious fire-type spiritual plants and special spiritual minerals, but there are also many fire-type monsters that can be used to refine magical tools and medicines, and they are active nearby.

Unfortunately, most of the team members were unable to move freely due to the heat. The remaining people were able to go out with Xie Liuyin to collect spiritual herbs and minerals, but they were too few in number to collect everything.

However, the people of Qingxiao Sect are not greedy. They are happy if they can gain something and their trip is not in vain.

"It's a good thing I didn't ask those weaklings in the team to follow me, otherwise they would have collapsed from exhaustion halfway through, let alone climbing to the top of the mountain." Tun Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face reddening abnormally.

He has a single fire spiritual root and his cultivation is not low, but he was roasted into this state by the flames. The situation of the others is naturally even worse.

Xie Liuyin subconsciously glanced at Si Feiyu. She looked like she had been fished out of the water, her whole body wet and dry with sweat.

Several times, Xie Liuyin thought she couldn't hold on any longer, but unexpectedly, she still managed to get here with her perseverance.

The top of the mountain is not small, and there is a large lava spring in the center.

Scalding bubbles emerged and quickly burst, releasing scorching gases. Any monk who came close screamed in pain from the heat.

Si Feiyu didn't want to go over at first, but inexplicably, she felt a breath of peace of mind coming from the lava spring.

"There seems to be some living thing in that lava spring." The childish voice of Shenhuo suddenly emerged in his mind.

In fact, it doesn't like to communicate with Xie Liuyin very much. These days, it mostly stays quietly in Xie Liuyin's dantian, observing the outside world curiously.

Just now, it was because he sensed a strong breath of life from the lava spring that he took the initiative to come out and remind Xie Liuyin.

After all, to be able to survive in such a powerful lava spring and live so well, he must be no simple character.

Xie Liuyin thanked him softly, then turned to look at Si Feiyu.

Si Feiyu also turned to look at her: "In the lava spring, right?"

Xie Liuyin understood what she was saying and nodded slowly.

"I knew it. I can already feel its presence." Si Feiyu retracted his gaze. "What should I do now?"

Xie Liuyin said calmly, "That's your future partner. I can't teach you how to gain its trust."

Even if it was a few days off, Si Feiyu was still Si Feiyu. It didn't make sense that she could contract Suzaku on her own in her previous life but not in this one.

That was her own opportunity, and no one could help her except Si Feiyu.

So, under everyone's gaze, Si Feiyu, with a determined look in his eyes, actually jumped straight into the boiling lava spring!

Screams came from all directions. Almost everyone couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes. Si Feiyu actually jumped in like that.

Xie Liuyin was also stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, but she quickly calmed down.

She believed that Si Feiyu would not do anything without confidence. Since she dared to take the risk, she would definitely come out alive!

But before Xie Liuyin could wait for Si Feiyu to come out, he saw Xie Mingzhu and the magic cultivator rushing to the top of the mountain.

The group of demon cultivators came suddenly. They had mastered the art of stealth very well. After they came up silently, they attacked the disciples of Qingxiao Sect on the spot.

If Biyun had not noticed something was wrong and immediately used her magic weapon Wanrensi to block the attacks, many disciples would probably have died on the spot.

Everyone who reacted immediately started to fight back. Tun Yan even pulled a fellow disciple who had wind spiritual roots and asked him to blow his fire towards the team of demon cultivators.

Although his fire is not as powerful as the spiritual fire of the Fiery Mountain, it is also very powerful and is exactly the weapon to restrain this group of evil people!

Si Wu didn't expect that there would be so many righteous cultivators here, and each of them was very capable.

She gritted her teeth, her face full of displeasure at having her plans disrupted.

He glanced at Xie Mingzhu who was constantly dodging back, not wanting to be affected.

Si Wu sneered and threw Xie Mingzhu out: "Go and complete what you promised me. If you can't bring that thing back safely, you know what will happen."

Because the two were quite far apart, their voices were quite loud. Even though the others were busy fighting the enemy, they didn't miss this conversation.

Others may not know what they are talking about, but Xie Liuyin knows it very well!

"Lord Shenhuo, what's the situation in the lava spring?" Xie Liuyin asked Liuding Shenhuo hurriedly.

The divine fire is the master of all fires, and all flames can be seen clearly in it.

It quickly replied, "The girl is fusing her heart blood with an egg. It looks very difficult, but she only has one last step left."

"Okay, then I'll delay this step for her!"
