The scene of Hei Xu Hanzi being engulfed by flames made everyone's heart tremble involuntarily.

  As they saw the bookish youth rushing over, they all turned their eyes to the young man in black behind him.

  But the young man still savored the spiritual fruit, with an expression that was unmoved.

  Everyone secretly complains.

  It seems that this master of Hunyuan Sect has long been accustomed to it and is unlikely to take the lead.

  "All treasures have their guardians, and there is no place where one can enter by force."

  The young scholar rushed to the front of the crowd, took a closer look at the dense flames, and then turned around to face the Xiang family siblings: "Don't let them die anymore, let me think of a way, but I need some time."

  Upon hearing this, the crowd's hearts, which had just sunk, once again filled with a few more strands of hope.

  Everyone's eyes were burning with excitement as they looked over: "Little brother, come quickly."

  Never mind whether what others say is true or false, at least one's own life is saved first.

  As expected, Xiang Tianyong carefully examined Shu Sheng for a moment, thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Alright, I'll trust you this once."

  As soon as he said this, the scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead.

  Many monks let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

  But before they could finish their words, Xiang Tianxiong had already looked away indifferently: "Let him think of his own way, you all continue with what you're doing."

  "Senior?!"

  Several impatient monks looked at him in surprise and anger, saying: "Are you deliberately trying to make me wait until I die?"

  Everyone says there's a way, so just wait patiently for now. If it doesn't work out later, we can think of other options.

  Besides, just now everyone saw how the black-bearded man died.

  Who else dares to come forward?

  "I may not have entered the mixed yuan, but the elders in my family are not necessarily inferior to your brothers and sisters."

  The tall and thin man stepped forward and said in a stern voice: "You'd better think it over carefully!"

  He looked at Tian Xiong with a blank expression: "There's no need for you to remind me... let's start with you."

  In the depths of the cave, nothing is more precious than time.

  If we wait for other Hunyuan Sect masters to arrive, then the things in the medicine hut may not necessarily belong to anyone.

  Perhaps a bookworm can come up with a solution, but it won't affect others from brainstorming.

  The two are not mutually exclusive.

  Moreover, as this person said, anyone picked out from here may have some background behind them.

  Since things have been done, they must be done thoroughly.

  Hesitation will only bring suffering to oneself.

  "It's not necessary, I'll try my best..." The scholar's pale face showed a few more shades of displeasure, but he still explained in a low voice.

  Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Xiang Tianxiong had already said in a calm tone: "I'll give you one chance, so I put you last, but that doesn't mean you're safe. You still need to do your best."

  "Alright!"

  The tall and thin man laughed twice, his face flushed with excitement, and waved his hand. In his palm appeared two short swords: "Everyone, have you recognized the faces of these siblings? Do you still dare to harbor any illusions?"

  Clang Clang Clang!

  The sound of swords clashing rang out one after another, and more than a dozen people stood back to back, all staring fiercely at the brother and sister.

  Seeing this, Xiang Tianyong had yet to make a move.

  The middle-aged woman who seemed ordinary next to him took a slight step forward, and her body burst into a brilliant red light, with an aura of terror that far surpassed Xiang Tianyong.

  Under the intense oppressive feeling, the palms of more than a dozen people holding their weapons relaxed slightly, and the chillingly sharp treasured blades had not even half a bit of deterrent force.

  In the midst of chaos, there is opportunity.

  Tianyan faintly swept her gaze over the crowd: "Everyone bring out your best skills. As long as you can set foot on the opposite shore, I'll spare your life."

  She nodded slightly and said, "Please."

  “……”

  The tall and thin man took a deep breath, his ten fingers trembling with rage, sheathing his twin swords and drawing out a small, exquisite boat-shaped treasure.

  He walked slowly to the shore, and couldn't help but turn his head back to look at the young man in black: "Master, these two siblings are so overbearing, by the time we're all dead, I'm afraid you won't be able to get anything good out of it either."

  This is obviously provocative language, but it's also a stark reality.

  The strong bully the weak, when all the weak are gone, a new weakest can naturally emerge from among the strong.

  "What a racket!"

  He coldly rebuked Tian Yan, then furrowed his brow and looked at Shen Yi, politely nodding: "Little friend, don't worry, you and I are all mixed yuan, your share of benefits won't be lessened."

  Xiang Tianxiong also walked over slowly, smiling: "This road always needs people to explore it, can't we just make up a profound saying that the weak should pave the way for others? If so, wouldn't our cultivation be in vain? Moreover, time is pressing, if someone else gets there first, wouldn't that be a pity? Little friend, do you think what I said makes sense?"

  At these words, everyone looked at the young man in black.

  The scholar was so anxious that he clenched his fists, but all he could do was anxiously wait.

  Shen Yi swallowed the last bite of fruit and stretched out his arms, calmly saying, "You're right."

  Just came out of Da Qian, originally still a bit restrained.

  I didn't expect this brother and sister to be so sensible.

  After hearing this, the scholar couldn't help but lower his head, and the tall thin man also smiled self-deprecatingly. Everyone understands reason, but when it's not their turn, who can listen to it?

  "It's fine as long as you understand, little friend..."

  Xiang Tianxiong smiled even more, and looked back at the shore. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by a nonchalant remark from beside him.

  "What are you waiting for?"

  Shen Yi wiped the juice from his hand on his shoulder and nodded slightly: "I'm quite busy, go ahead."

  Anyway, it's all about exploring the road, why waste time watching a group of people courting death.

  Why not start directly from the founder of Hunyuan Qigong, isn't it more efficient?

  “……”

  Astonishment surged into Tian Xiong's eyes until he grasped the other party's meaning.

  A hint of coldness appeared on his face: "Little friend, aren't you joking with me?"

  In an instant, golden light burst forth from his body, and he was ready to make his move.

  He kept this young man by his side in case he might be of some use, but that didn't mean the other could take liberties with him.

  "Hmm."

  Shen Yi's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she didn't bother to say more.

  A palm fell on Xiang Tianyong's back of the head. With the blessing of the Five-headed Demon King, he didn't need to reveal any aura at all.

  Bang!

  Towards Tian Xiong, he didn't even have time to change his facial expression, let alone resist.

  The whole body was pressed down on the ground in a sorry state.

  Shen Yi crouched beside him, casually snatching away his storage bag, and then grasped the back of his collar, tossing him carelessly into that raging sea of flames!

  The figure radiating golden light attracted everyone's attention.

  The entire process was so fast that even the Swallow hadn't had time to react, and then he saw his brother already flying in mid-air. As he approached the opposite bank, the aura on his body was also completely sealed off.

  The flames engulfed it in an instant.

  "Ahh!!"

  A loud wail erupted.

  A golden figure emerged from the fire, its expression ferocious as it seemed to pounce towards the shore. But the flames suddenly transformed into chains that swiftly wrapped around its limbs and neck, pulling it back with a loud clanking sound.

  "Swallow sister, save me!"

  A desperate cry echoed through the sky, but it was powerless to stop him from being dragged into the flames.

  Until everything returns to calmness.
