Chapter Thirteen: Overwhelming Power

  When Xia Qi's feet truly stepped on the strange red land of Huoyan Mountain, that scorching feeling spread throughout his body, and he felt as if he was in a furnace. Xia Qi's body turned bright red without using any true yuan, as if he had been roasted to perfection!

  Even if it was a true yuan circulation, Xia Qi still felt that his breathing was somewhat difficult. The short distance had almost completely exhausted the weak true yuan in his body!

  Entering the range of the formation, Xia Qi did not feel any changes. If it weren't for the fact that he saw a huge commotion outside when he made his move earlier, but there was no sound at all, he would have definitely been unaware that an array had been set up here.

  "Xia Qi, take a closer look at this Flame Mountain and confirm whether the treasure is indeed hidden here?"

  Jian Wuxie saw that Xia Qi was somewhat struggling in the Flame Mountain, so he raised his hand and shot a True Yuan into Xia Qi's body. Immediately, Xia Qi felt the scorching heat around him dissipate slightly, and he felt much more comfortable.

  His eyes scanned the surroundings, and Xia Qi looked very serious. Even Jian Wu Xie and the seven elders felt a little anxious in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disturb Xia Qi at this time, letting him scan the surroundings.

  At this time, Xia Qi was not as expected by Jian Wu and the others, confirming the location of the treasure. In fact, when he saw Huoyan Mountain, he had already confirmed that Huoyan Mountain was a fake treasure site set up by Tiandao Sect thousands of years ago!

  At this time, Xia Qi was just pretending to be calm, looking around and thinking of a way to escape from the control of San Xiao Sword Sect and leave this place!

  "Master, the disciple has confirmed that this Flame Mountain is indeed the treasure land! The enormous treasure lies beneath this Flame Mountain!" Xia Qi also didn't dare to delay any longer, looked around, and opened his mouth with a serious expression.

  "Good! Good! The treasure left behind by the Tian Dao Sect 10,000 years ago has finally been found by me. The San Xiao Sword Sect will surely dominate the Xian Xia world under my hands!" Jian Wu Xie was extremely excited, his eyes constantly scanning this piece of red land.

  "Our Sect Master is wise and brilliant! He will surely lead the Three Xiang Sword Sect to dominate the Cultivation World!"

  Seven elders were extremely excited, as if they had already seen the rise of San Xiao Sword Sect, and they all spoke in unison to flatter Jian Wu Xie.

  "Hurry up! After all, this is the back mountain of Huo Mo Palace. Although the Eight Gates Heaven-Blocking Array has been set up, it only isolates the sound, and the true yuan fluctuations can still be sensed. I don't know if the fight just now will arouse suspicion. Let's act quickly and open the treasure!" Xian Wuxie waved his hand, his eyes falling on the ground.

  Seven elders also had a stern gaze, the Fire Demon Palace's power was vast, no less than the Three Xiao Sword Sect. In the back mountain of the Fire Demon Palace to take treasure, danger need not be said, everyone just hoped to take the treasure smoothly and leave as soon as possible.

  "Xia Qi, the treasure is underground. Do you have a way to enter it directly?" Jian Wu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he had felt that the red soil below was exceptionally hard earlier, and wanting to break through it directly would probably require a lot of effort.

  "Master, I'm incompetent. This treasure trove can only be entered by using brute force to break in. It wasn't until I reached the mechanism inside the treasure palace that I knew how to solve it. If not, I would have tried every means to enter this treasure land years ago." Xia Qi said with a helpless expression.

  Jian Wu Xie didn't say much, in fact he wasn't holding out much hope either. As Xia Qi had said, if Xia Qi could enter, he would have probably found a way to join the Huo Mo Palace and blend in with the Flame Mountain by now.

  "Seven elders, follow me and strike together to blast open this layer of red earth! Be careful not to cause too much True Yuan fluctuation, or it will be easily sensed by outsiders!" Jian Wuxie took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

  Seven elders and Jian Wuxie stood in one direction, suddenly striking out towards a place that Xia Qi had casually pointed out!

  Eight people, eight pieces of treasure, simultaneously suspended in mid-air, radiating a dazzling light, emitting an aura of solemn killing intent. Under the urging of the eight individuals, a massive power burst forth, descending from the sky, causing this entire space to seemingly tremble!

  "Boom!"

  A deafening roar, as if the entire sky and earth were trembling, on the verge of shattering!

  Xia Qi had been prepared early and stood far away, but was still affected by this huge shockwave, unable to stand firm, fell to the ground, and was in a sorry state!

  The red smoke billows, filling the sky, like clouds rising up, it's really beautiful!

  "Old Master Wu!"

  Jian Wuxie let out a loud shout, and for such a situation, Wu Changlao had long been prepared. In his hand appeared a jade bottle, with true yuan pouring in. The narrow mouth of the jade bottle suddenly enlarged, and from it surged forth a mighty flood, which instantly washed away the red powder that had risen into the air!

  The flood spreads, and in an instant, the temperature of this Flame Mountain drops sharply!

  In the midst of a surging torrent, a massive pit appeared. The floodwaters that had been rushing down from the sky poured onto the ground and quickly flowed into the pit. However, the pit was like a bottomless hole, and no matter how much water flowed in, it never seemed to fill up!

  Xia Qi stared in the distance, his eyes wide with wonder. That small jade bottle had actually burst forth from the torrential flood, shooting up into the sky, and the temperature of the Fire Mountain had dropped significantly! Moreover, what made Xia Qi even more astonished was that after the water evaporated, there wasn't any steam rising up!

  "Wu Changlao, this 'Tian Yi Shui' has come with great difficulty, so put it away!" Xian Wuxie saw the bottomless pit-like hole and frowned, letting Wu Changlao retrieve the jade bottle.

  The old man Wu withdrew his words, and the jade bottle returned to its previous appearance. The torrential floodwaters also disappeared instantly.

  "Heavenly One Water! It's said to be a water that never runs out, I didn't think it was true, and yet Elder Wu has some in his hands!" Xia Qi had also heard of 'Heavenly One Water', seeing Elder Wu put it away, his gaze became somewhat solemn.

  Jian Wu Xie's group of eight people, their strength is probably beyond the ordinary. The head of the Wu Clan has Tian Yi Shui in his hands, and the other several great elders are probably not much different either. With this kind of strength, plus the ultimate treasure, it's a bit frightening!

  "No wonder they dared to come and take treasure from the back mountain of Huo Yan Palace!"

  Xia Qi's heart was filled with some uncertainty, originally he had come with full confidence, the fake treasure trove's mechanisms and traps should have given him a few chances to escape, but looking at Jian Wu Xie and his group's abilities, it's likely that the traps inside wouldn't be able to stop these few people! If they entered and there was no treasure, then Xia Qi would be the one to die!

  "No way! These few old bastards are too powerful, we need to think of a way to pull the Fire Devil Palace in, otherwise wanting to escape is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

  It's a matter of life and death, Xia Qi didn't dare to be careless. Looking at the rapid disappearance of the flood in the pit, the pit was about to reveal its original shape, he also hurriedly thought of a way to attract Huo Mo Palace over.
