The old man was speechless with rage.

  "Ji Hong!" Gu Shiyou laughed and said, "My master casually mentioned it to you, and you actually said it out loud. That Fu Man is indeed woven by your people! Hmm...it seems that now that we know the Black Fire Spirit Fruit is here, only your Guiyuan Sect and my Qinghu Island are aware of it. In that case, this makes things easier. Your Guiyuan Sect should just give up on competing with us. We, Qinghu Island, will definitely thank you heavily afterwards."

  Ji Hong's face sank: "Young Island Master, these words are unpleasant! What, does the Return to Origin Sect look like it's short of silver?"

  That bald old man's face turned icy cold as he shouted: "Ji Hong, I'm being kind to you, don't be shameless! I, Du Jiu, am saying this clearly: the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and Black Fire Spirit Root are all mine, from Qing Hu Island. You, Gui Yuan Sect, don't even think about getting a single leaf! If you still pester..."

  The bald old man's triangular eyes flashed with cold light, and at the same time, he drew out two short knives from his waist.

  "Ji Hong, I advise you one sentence, it's better to turn back obediently." The bald old man held a short knife in each hand.

  ……

  Ji Hong's face turned ugly, and Teng Qing Shan and Guan Lu exchanged a glance with each other.

  "Shēngsǐ Dāo' Du Jiǔ! Ranked 17th on the 'Earth List', master of Qinghu Island's island owner!" Teng Qingshan was very clear about his opponent's identity. In terms of strength, Teng Qingshan had never underestimated this Shēngsǐ Dāo 'Du Jiǔ' before. Within the top 20 rankings, Teng Qingshan's Wheel Turning Gun could absolutely kill him.

  It's just...

  The other party is the master of Qinghu Island! Now the master of Qinghu Island, that is a congenital strongman, a heroic figure who dominates Yangzhou.

  Who dares to kill his master?

  "Old Du!" Ji Hong was somewhat annoyed.

  "Ji Hong, considering our youthful friendship, I'll give you a way out. Don't think I don't dare take action! Among the three of you, the strongest should be that 'Teng Qing Shan'. Hmph, killing Meng Tian was impressive, but compared to me, it's far from enough!" The bald old man said coldly, "I'll count to three, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

  Sheng Si Dao Du Jiuzhao is absolutely a ruthless and cold-blooded person.

  Who doesn't know in this world?

  "Commander Tong." Teng Qing Shan and Guan Lu both looked at Ji Hong.

  Ji Hong gritted his teeth.

  Teng Qing Shan was secretly anxious: "If Ji Hong really gives the Black Fire Spirit Fruit to the other party, then the Black Fire Spirit Root will be hard to obtain! I have the confidence to kill Du Jiu, but... Ji Hong doesn't know that I have this strength!" Yes, Ji Hong is not aware of Teng Qing Shan's true strength.

  "One!" Du Jiu shouted indifferently.

  Faced with the current situation, Ji Hong gritted his teeth and shouted: "Let's go!"

  "Leave?" Teng Qing Shan was somewhat urgent.

  "Ji Hong, Ji Tong Leng! Then thank you for returning to the Yuan Zong. However... I don't want us to go out and hear rumors about the Black Fire Spirit Fruit spreading everywhere. If the news really leaks out, I can only suspect you." Gu Shiyu's voice came over, "That would ruin our relationship."

  Ji Hong indeed had the idea of leaking the news after going out.

  Anyway, the other party can't grasp his handle either.

  Ji Hong suddenly turned around, staring at Gu Shiyou and Du Jiuzhou: "Du Laojiu... this is not the way to be a human! Today you are ruthless enough, but... humph, being so ruthless will bring about retribution!"

  "Revenge?" Du Jiu's triangular eyes scanned over Tan Qing Shan and the other two with a venomous gaze, "Just the three of you!"

  "Master Bo!" Gu Lü said in a low voice.

  "Your Excellency!" Teng Qing Shan also hastily shouted, with a look of urgency. Teng Qing Shan was only seventeen years old, an age where one's temper was at its most volatile, and even the calmest young person would find it hard to contain their anger at this moment.

  Hong Qing Shan didn't want to turn back like this, the Hei Huo Ling Gen was a must-have: "It's best to take action now, if Ji Hong doesn't agree, I can only secretly obtain the Hei Huo Ling Gen."

  Ji Hong's face sank: "Qingshan, Guanlv, let's go!"

  Teng Qing Shan and Guan Lü could only endure it, following behind Ji Hong.

  ……

  Gu Shiyou and Du Jiu both laughed, but Wu Duan, who was standing on the side, only smiled along with them.

  "Du Lao is indeed formidable, and the person from the Guiyuan Sect just left like that." Wu Dang flattered.

  A faint smile appeared on the old man's bald head.

  Since his disciple reached Xiantian and later became the master of Qinghu Island, his status has also risen. In addition, he is a high-ranking expert listed in the "Dipan", on Qinghu Island, his status is extremely high. This arrogant and domineering person, who dares to provoke him?

  "Haha, Big Boss, just ahead is where the Black Fire Spirit Fruit is!" A faint laugh came from a distance.

  The three people on the side of Qinghu Island were all stunned.

  Everyone turned their heads in another direction. It turns out that the lava lake was flowing to both sides, and Teng Qing Shan and others came from the left side of the lava river channel to the lava lake. And at this moment, the sound came from the right direction.

  "Someone has come in from this side?" The bald old man was stunned.

  "Wudang." Gu Shi looked towards Wudang.

  "I don't know." Wu Duan shook his head. This was his first time entering the underground, how would he know what was at the other end?

  The bald old man lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry about anything else for now, let's just get past this."

  At that moment, the three people from Qinghu Island quietly moved forward to the right, which was obviously more spacious than the left. Although the passage was winding, it was so wide that they had only walked dozens of feet before seeing people and horses in the distance.

  The two sides were about fifty zhang apart!

  "It's Qinghu Island! Run for your lives!" The other group of people, one of them suddenly shouted loudly, and instantly the group of people fled in all directions without hesitation!

  "Kill them!!!" The bald old man shouted angrily, and immediately rushed over at high speed. Gu Shiyou and his Shibo also rushed over at high speed. A group of people in the distance were fleeing at average speed, while on the side of Qinghu Island, they were all top-notch masters who had achieved great things through hard work, rapidly closing the distance.

  ……

  Originally furious, Ji Hong, Teng Qing Shan and Guan Lu, who were walking back along the road, naturally heard these two loud shouts.

  "It's Qinghu Island!"

  "Kill them!"

  Teng Qing Shan, Ji Hong and Guan Lu looked at each other!

  "There is another group of people." Guan Lu said absent-mindedly.

  "Go back!" Ji Honglian shouted in a low voice, and the three of them immediately turned around and rushed to the other side of Qinghu Island.

  *******

  Racing all the way.

  "It's a fierce battle ahead!" Although the road was winding, Teng Qing Shan had already heard the sounds of fighting not far away. In terms of speed, the three from Guiyuan Sect were only slightly faster than the three from Qing Hu Island. However, since the latter were currently engaged in battle with their opponents, they naturally slowed down. Soon——

  Teng Qing Shan and his companions had already seen clearly the scene of slaughter in the distance.

  "Big boss, you'd better run!" one of the strong men yelled, and surprisingly, he still tightly hugged the leg of Qinghu Island's Shibo while being stabbed.

  Wow!

  With one kick, the master's cold and unfeeling foot cracked open the strong man's skull, with red and white slowly flowing out. Afterwards, the master also quickly continued killing his way forward.

  "Third brother!" The eldest son had already run tens of meters away, he turned his head and looked back, tears streaming down.

  "Big boss, run for your life!" The others also desperately tried to intercept him, but the big boss apparently had excellent lightness skills and immediately fled at high speed.

  In ancient times, friends were eager to chase, but those people intercepted them fearlessly, these horse thieves were all desperate and their methods were ruthless. Either using lime powder or throwing hidden weapons, they even disregarded their own lives to entangle them. Even the top masters of the "Earth List" would have their speed affected when facing these elite horse thieves who intercepted them without regard for their own lives.

  Pfft!

  Pfft!

  Blood splattered everywhere, the three people from Qinghu Island finally broke through the blockade of over a dozen men. They could no longer see the shadow of that great master and could only continue to chase downwards.

  "Three Forks!" The three people from Qinghu Island stood at the Three Forks, looking ahead at the two paths, unsure which way to pursue.

  "Haha, Du Laojiu. That horse thief leader's lightness skill is not much worse than yours. A group of fugitives blocked him and he escaped early." At this time, Ji Hong and the other two also arrived, Ji Hong felt very pleased in his heart: "Man cannot compete with heaven! Your Qinghu Island, destined to have no fate!"

  Looking at the three people of Guiyuan Sect, the three people of Qinghu Island just hummed and turned their heads to leave.

  "There's actually another passage!" Teng Qing Shan exclaimed.

  "Another passageway should be just right! The cave entrance we came from is only about one zhang high. And that Red Scale Beast must be over two zhang tall now. When it was young, it could have entered through the passageway we came from. But after growing up, it can't enter from there anymore. So, there must be another more spacious passageway!"

  Hong Qingshan was also startled awake.

  Right!

  The Red Scale Beast will definitely come to eat the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, so there must be a passage that can accommodate the Red Scale Beast.

  "Teng Qing Shan thought to himself, 'I didn't notice this point earlier!'"

  "It's better this way." Teng Qing Shan secretly rejoiced, "When the time comes and everything is in chaos, I'll have an easier time making my move. With my methods, amidst all the confusion, getting the Black Fire Spirit Root will be a sure thing."

  ……

  A robust man with three small braids emerged from the surface of Tan Water Lake, his eyes bloodshot: "Third brother, Ah Hu... you guys, ah!" These sworn brothers had lost their lives for this big brother. The robust man's eyes were bloodshot, gritting his teeth and speaking in a hateful tone: "Qinghu Island! This vendetta will not be avenged, I won't rest in death! Hmm... Hei Huo Ling Guo, you think you can monopolize the Black Fire Spirit Fruit?"

  ……

  In the late afternoon, a large group of people were having dinner at the foot of Mount Tengqingshan.

  Just then, a voice came over - "Have you heard? Someone discovered an underwater passage at the bottom of the deep pool under the mountain peak with flying monkey stones on the west side of Flame Mountain. Rushing into the underground passage, finally found a wide underground tunnel. Walking up two or three miles, magma flows are found, and walking another two miles is where the Black Fire Spirit Fruit is located."

  "Fei Hou Shi? Last time we searched and passed by that, I even took a bath in that deep pool. That big deep pool? There's an underwater passageway at the bottom of the pool?"

  "It's said that there are noses and eyes. Many people have already started going to see them."

  "We'll go take a look right away."

  ……

  Teng Qing Shan, Ji Hong and Guan Lu exchanged a glance.

  "The entrance of this other passage is actually at the bottom of the pond." Ji Hong sighed.

  "This news, that is what the 'big boss' leaked out, in just two or three hours, so many people already know about it, and it's spreading really fast." Teng Qing Shan sighed, Guan Lü nodded in agreement: "It seems... whoever wants to monopolize the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and Black Fire Spirit Root will find it difficult."

  Once this news is fully spread, one thing has been decided.

  The struggle for the Black Fire Spirit Fruit will be a chaotic battle!

  One by one, the masters in the light, the strong in the dark, when the Black Fire Spirit Fruit is ripe, they will really take action!
