Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 72 Black Stone Platform
When Gu Deman asked whether he wanted to chase into the Flame Mountain, Tao Zhixi took the lead in expressing his stance, gritting his teeth and said: "Chase! Chase him to the end of the world, and we will pull out Yan Wei and cut him to death for Cheng'er and Zhang Ying." revenge!"

Everyone looked at him with a little doubt. This person who is a subordinate has a deep relationship with his subordinates.

He said coldly: "If you don't dare to go into the mountain, then I will go alone!"

Cao Nan was still thinking about whether to get involved in this troublesome matter, when he heard Lu Chunhua say for the second time: "Although I am of low level, I can help Old Tao with my genius.

After thinking for a while, she continued: "Everyone is injured a lot, so just stay here and rest. It's fine for Lao Tao and I to go."

She said it sincerely and muttered in her heart: "Please don't come. The fewer people there, the better! That Cao Nan is quite powerful. If a fight really comes, it will take a few moves to kill him. That Su Unfortunately, I can’t see through him, so it’s best not to come!”

Just when she was praying to God and praying to Buddha in her heart, hoping that everyone would not go together, when Cao Nan heard that she took the initiative to invite Ying, she couldn't lose her face.

A second-level woman dares to be the first, but as a disciple of the Qing Chi Sword Sect, he is hiding behind. If this is spread back, he will not be well received by the masters and uncles of the sect.

He sighed and said: "It is the duty of my Qing Chi Sword Sect to kill traitors and eliminate evil. How can I let Miss Lu take risks? I am willing to go into the mountains."

Lu Chunhua wailed in her heart: "No!"

Su Xuan also nodded: "I'll go take a look together."

Lu Chunhua felt like crying but couldn't find any tears in her heart: "How come you?!"

But she didn't dare to show it, and she had to be cheerful on the outside: "Okay! You two are indeed heroic and courageous people! With you here, our chances of winning are greatly increased!"

Liu Yidao gritted his teeth and was about to stand up: "I also want to..."

"If you don't want to, sit down." Lu Chunhua pushed him down.

Chen Chuyao originally wanted to go into the mountain with her. When she asked Su Han for her opinion, the latter looked at her feet and shook his head at her.

She sighed slightly and stopped insisting.

When Gu Deman saw that the practitioners in the field, except for Liu Yidao and Chen Chuyao who were injured and in poor condition, all showed that they could pursue the Flame Mountain, he said: "After this night, their strength must be greatly reduced. The Chuanxin in the mountain There should be very few palace demons left, so you don't need to worry too much.

“But Yan Weiyi is still very strong, so you all need to be careful.

"It's a good thing for Brother Yidao and Miss Chen to stay here to recuperate. After all, we can't live without cultivators here."

Liu Yidao and Chen Chuyao nodded and stayed here to protect the common people. They suddenly felt that they had a sense of responsibility on their shoulders, so they took the time to inhale spiritual energy in order to quickly recover from their injuries.

Tao Zhixi suddenly frowned and said: "But the Flame Mountain is quite big. Where can we find it? If we search blindly, it will be like a headless fly, and the efficiency will be too low."

Just when Gu Deman was also lost in thought, Su Regret said: "Is there a map of the surrounding mountains?"

"Yes." Gu Deman took out a picture from his arms, which he asked for from the local soldiers after arriving in Wuyi Town.

He unfolded the mountain map and placed it on the ground. Su Han stepped forward to take a look, pointed to the northwest area of ​​the town and said: "This is where Liu Yidao met the enemy. The enemy who fought with him was injured here, and then fled in this direction. .”

He moved his fingers along the town: "I smelled his bloody scent here, and then walked all the way towards the Flame Mountain. After he entered the mountain, he went to the south. It was here that I caught up with him .”

His finger stopped at a place at the foot of the Flame Mountain.

Gu Deman recalled the movements of Su Han's fingers and asked, "So, the direction of his escape is where the demon from Chuanxin Palace is located?"

Su Zhen shook his head: "Not sure, but if there are no other clues now, you can search in this direction first."

Gu Deman raised his head and asked, "Do you have any other objections?"

Seeing that everyone agreed with this search direction, Tao Zhixi said, "In this case, it shouldn't be delayed."

Everyone set off immediately. Before leaving, Su Han and others said to the people staying in Wuyi Town: "If anything happens, shoot the warning arrows immediately and we will rush back immediately."

"Okay." Gu Deman responded.

So, under the starlight, the four people filed out of Wuyi Town and turned into four phantoms towards the tall flame mountain.

The four of them reached the foot of the Huoyan Mountain, and when they looked up, the Huoyan Mountain stood in front of them like a giant.

There is a slight red glow on its top, where is the light and heat from the magma pool.

And its mountain body, covered by mountains and forests, there is only endless tranquility and murderous intent.

The four of them looked at each other without speaking, and plunged into the forest.

Only Lu Chunhua frowned and sighed inwardly.

……

……

Halfway up the mountainside on the south side of the Flame Mountain, there is a rather large crack in the mountain.

There is an open area in the crack, which seems to have been dug out by humans, but it is very dilapidated and shows traces of no one's activity for countless years.

In this crack, there is a black stone platform about thirty feet wide, one foot above the ground.

The stone quality of the black stone platform is very special, exuding an ancient meaning, and is incompatible with the mountain below.

On the black stone platform, tiny ravines intersect with each other to form extremely complex patterns.And every few feet, there is an area the size of a palm sunken, like a small smooth bowl.

Inside each depression, there is a scarlet heart that is beating slightly.

There are a total of [-] depressions on the stone platform that is more than [-] feet long.

There are 490 five hearts placed in these five hundred depressions, beating together.

There is a spiritual energy that connects every heart, allowing it to maintain the last trace of activity.

The spiritual energy threads formed a large web like a spider web, and in the center of the spider web sat a man with a sullen face.

This man is not Yan Weiyi.

Because Yan Wei was kneeling on one knee in front of him with his head lowered.

"The opponent's strength is beyond my expectation. After tonight's battle, I am the only one who is back." Yan Wei lowered his head, hesitantly took out four hearts, held them in the palm of his hand, and whispered.

The man waved his hand, and four hearts fell into the empty depressions.

There were five hundred depressions, and there was only one depression left at this time.

"This is the result of your entrustment and leaving those bloody letters." The man said in a calm voice.

Yan Weiyi did not refute. After a moment of silence, he raised his head slightly, his eyes brightened slightly, and said, "But the fear they have in waiting for the guillotine to fall is exactly what I want. Isn't this also the purpose of our sect?"

"That's right." The man smiled.

Yan Wei breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said: "Please allow me to go down the mountain again, and let me choose an opportunity to take another heart to complete this formation."

The man stared at Yan Weiyi's chest and said nothing for a while.

Yan Wei felt a little scared inside when he saw him.

After a long time, the man said: "That's all, you go and heal your wounds first. Anyway, it's almost time to deliver the hearts of the kids from Wuyi Town to your door."

The man looked outside the crack and smiled calmly.
