Ninth-level fairy

As soon as these words came out, the fire centipede's body stopped abruptly.

At this moment, its eyes were filled with resentment and anger. It raised its head and screamed, staring at Du Fang with angry eyes. Suddenly, it spoke in a human voice:

"You little human, you've pissed me off!"

"So you can speak? I thought you were a mute!" Du Fang pretended to be surprised.

"Little thing, how many years have you lived? Is this your true form? I heard you are a prehistoric beast, is that right?"

As soon as these teasing words were spoken, the red flame on the fire centipede suddenly turned yellow, and then from yellow to blue.

In an instant, the entire hall suddenly began to dissolve.

The surrounding temperature rises rapidly.

Chang Qingzi's hair was all curled up together, and he begged, "Brother, stop playing and find a way out!"

Du Fang chuckled softly, then suddenly gathered his strength and threw the glass bead in his hand far away. The fire centipede immediately turned around, its body as fast as a sword. Before the bead hit the ground, it was already waiting there and swallowed the bead into its mouth.

The living centipede let out a long roar towards the sky and immediately rushed over again.

"Goodbye, little one!"

Du Fang placed the black stone left by the elder from Changsheng Hall on the temple. A white light appeared, and the fire centipedes, the hall, the flames, and all the heat disappeared.

The two of them stood in a cave.

Icy and cold.

This temperature difference froze Du Fang so much that he quickly hugged his arms and said, "Master, what do you think this place is?"

Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation on his mouth. It was Chang Qingzi who couldn't hold back his anger. Seeing that he was out of danger, he slapped him again.

"You are such a disobedient and unfilial beast! How could Lingxiao produce a disciple like you who has no respect for the sect leader..."

Du Fang smiled and looked at him gently: "Master Chang Qingzi, I want to ask you a question. Do you dare to answer it?"

"What do you want to ask?" Chang Qingzi put on an intimidating look.

"Did you see a sword above Lingyuan?" Chang Qingzi was horrified.

"How did you know?"

"You started talking about this right after you left Lingyuan! Have you forgotten what you said?"

Changqingzi said nothing.

Du Fang continued, "Let me ask you another question. Back then, when the thirty of you entered Jianmen and Lingyuan, most of you were masters of the eighth realm. The headmaster was one, and the female senior from Changsheng Hall was one. You are also a master of the eighth realm, so why didn't you come in? Are you afraid?"

Chang Qingzi had never expected that Du Fang would ask such irrelevant questions here. He angrily said, "Didn't I tell you? The disciples of the Seventh Realm were waiting outside. I was ordered by my senior brother to guard these disciples of the Seventh Realm."

Du Fang suddenly smiled, "Then why have you been collecting these mutated white-haired corpses in that room for over a hundred years?"

Chang Qingzi was suddenly stunned.

"You can fool Senior Sister Li with these things, but you can't fool me. I've been in the outer sect for seven years and have seen all kinds of evil spirits and conspiracies. Do you think that if you collect a black shadow ghost and then pretend to be a good person and kill it, I will believe you?"

Chang Qingzi sighed softly, his expression darkening: "You know everything?"

"Of course, those white-haired Yin corpses of the Seventh Realm are the materials you use to refine pills, prevent your cultivation from declining, and prolong your life. You are just waiting for an opportunity in this world."

"What opportunity are you waiting for?" Chang Qingzi asked involuntarily.

"You're waiting for the immortals to enter the Sword Gate. You're more cautious and prudent than the former sect leader. You know that no one has ever entered this Spirit Abyss, and the Human Emperor's divine thoughts are waiting for the immortals to arrive. You know better than anyone that only immortals can see the Human Emperor's divine thoughts and know the secrets hidden in this tomb!"

Chang Qingzi's expression grew colder and colder.

Du Fang still had a smile on his face. "It's unfortunate for me, but fortunately for you. You finally waited for the fairy. Since entering this temple, your personality has changed drastically. You keep talking about secrets. The sword here is that secret."

"You said that on purpose, just to make me say it automatically, right?"

Chang Qingzi still didn't say anything, but his expression became even gloomier.

Du Fang continued, "When I jumped onto the Bronze Immortal Palace, you sent Senior Sister Li away just to trick me... You thought the immortal blood could lead you to the secrets of this tomb!"

"Unfortunately, you met a young man who has experienced many hardships in the world and has seen all kinds of tricks and conspiracies. I can't hide these from you. You are still a little naive to play tricks in front of me!"

Chang Qingzi said slowly, "You've already said it all. Even if I don't want to admit it, there's nothing I can do. You're convinced now that I can't kill you in this ancient tomb, right?"

He slowly raised his hand, and five dark green sword beams were already placed on Du Fang's neck.

"You can try it!"

When Du Fang clenched the black stone in his hand, the cold air around him began to condense and turned into crystal. Chang Qingzi immediately discovered that his sword could not penetrate because there were layers of ice crystals blocking the way.

He snorted coldly and looked at what was in Du Fang's hand:

"It turns out that this inconspicuous stone is really a magical artifact!" A greedy look appeared on his face.

"You are wrong, Master!" Du Fang said lightly.

"Where is wrong?"

"Haven't you noticed? From the very beginning, the evil spirits in the tomb, as well as the predecessors who entered the Spiritual Abyss, have all been in this ancient tomb, looking for a way for the immortal spirit to survive! So that the immortal spirit can avoid these murderous restrictions and meet the Divine Only Nian of the Human Emperor. Every one of these deceased predecessors hopes that the immortal spirit can bring the secrets of this ancient tomb out and bring them to the Nine Divine Continents!"

Du Fang said sternly, "Do you think these seniors in the tomb can let you kill me?"

Chang Qingzi laughed heartily. "It's true that heroes emerge from youth. I've lived so many years, but they've all been wasted. I was fooled by a young man like you who just started out! What do you want by revealing your cards now and saying all this? Are you trying to make me commit suicide?"

"That's not necessary! I just need you to follow me and help me find my senior sister. I promise you that you can leave this world alive and return to the real Lingxiao Mountain!"

"Do you really have a solution?" Chang Qingzi asked in surprise.

Du Fang nodded: "I am a fairy spirit, so I must have a way. But if you can't find my senior sister, I can't guarantee that you can get out alive!"

"Okay, little friend Du, I promise you, we are allies now, and seniority doesn't matter. I call you little friend, and you respect me as big brother. It's not too much, right?"

"I...I'd rather you call me Grandmaster. After all, you just...I can't always take advantage of me, right?"

He had an evil smile on his face and walked into the cave first.

Making Chang Qingzi feel fearful was the main reason for him to reveal his cards. Du Fang thought to himself that he was still young at heart and it was too early for him to reveal such a secret. In the Bronze Hall, he really couldn't help but play a trick on him and had to reveal his cards in advance.

It got colder as we walked deeper into the cave.

"Something's wrong, brother!" Chang Qingzi reminded him from behind.
