948: 941 948: 941 Inside the enclosed space.
The sudden action of Lie Yang, the young master of the Red Flame Valley, caught everyone present off guard.
Lie Yang’s fierce punch seemed to trigger the pinholes on the surrounding walls, which now continuously released scorching hot vapor.
The temperature inside the enclosed space suddenly increased, and the scorching waves of air forced the members of the four major sects to start channeling their True Energy Force.
Valley Master Lie Yan of the Red Flame Valley rushed to his son’s side immediately.
At this moment, the unconscious Lie Yang’s face was covered with a crimson color, and a burning smell emanated from his body, causing Lie Yan’s eyebrows to furrow tightly.
Standing beside Lie Yan, the Great Elder of the Red Flame Valley, Wang Wuji, after seeing Lie Yang’s condition, said, “Valley Master, it seems that Lie Yang has been invaded by heat poison.
You must quickly try to expel the heat poison from his body; if it’s too late, I fear Lie Yang might lose his life here.”
Upon hearing this, Lie Yan immediately helped Lie Yang sit up.
Then, he pressed his right palm against Lie Yang’s back, channeling a continuous flow of True Energy Force.
He found multiple streams of heat moving within Lie Yang’s body, but no matter what, he couldn’t force them out.
Seven or eight minutes later.
Lie Yan suddenly opened his eyes, seeing how Lie Yang’s breath in his unconscious state, was growing weaker and weaker.
He felt helpless and sighed internally.
Meanwhile, the temperature in the enclosed space rose to an unimaginable level; even breathing felt like it was scorching the airways, and the temperature continued to rise.
“Valley Master Lie, your son was too impulsive.
He’s nearly beyond saving from the heat poison.
We need to leave this place immediately,” said Li Dongtian, the Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace.
The Valley Master of the Red Flame Valley, Lie Yan, had Great Elder Wang Wuji support his son while he stared intently at Li Dongtian and snapped, “Li Dongtian, if your accursed son hadn’t spoken those words just now, would my son have acted so recklessly?
It looks like we’re all going to die here now.”
As soon as Lie Yan finished speaking, Li Zihao bellowed hoarsely, “Nonsense, as the heir to the Ancient Martial Punisher, how could I possibly die here?”
Then, Li Zihao turned to look at the second Elder of the Red Flame Valley, Wang Mingchong, and demanded, “Have you found an exit yet?”
Wang Mingchong’s face was deeply wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and beads of sweat the size of peas continuously slid down his forehead and cheeks.
He ignored Li Zihao’s tone, his face a picture of dejection, sighed, and said, “I’m powerless.
The temperature in this space is rising too quickly.
Given our current strength, in about two hours, we will be roasted alive by this temperature.”
As soon as Wang Mingchong uttered these words, Mo Wusha, the Sect Leader of Earth Demon Hall, glared at Lie Yan and shouted, “What do you mean by this, Red Flame Valley?
You brought us here.”
Facing Mo Wusha’s fierce questioning, Lie Yan responded expressionlessly, coldly remarking, “At this point, what good does it do to blame my Red Flame Valley?
If it weren’t for us, you all would still be trapped in that maze!
Now that we’re all going to die here, you might as well serve as accompaniments in my son’s burial.”
“Valley Master Lie, it’s quite inappropriate for you to be speaking such demoralizing words right now, isn’t it?
Shouldn’t your Red Flame Valley’s second Elder be speeding up the investigation of this enclosed space?” said Li Dongtian, the Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace.
…
In the tense moment inside the enclosed space, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining looked at the dead end in front of them.
Xia Zining voiced her doubts, “Chenfeng, did you choose the wrong place?
Where is the exit?”
Ye Chenfeng walked up to the thick wall in front, quickly found a hollow brick, and pressed it down.
Then, just like the members of the four major sects, their bodies suddenly fell toward the ground below.
Several seconds later, Ye Chenfeng, holding Xia Zining’s hand, steadily landed on the ground.
Feeling the extremely high temperature around him and looking at the people from the four major sects, Ye Chenfeng hadn’t expected that people from these four major sects could have made it here.
After Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining appeared, all eyes were focused on them.
The young master of Cloud Soaring Palace, Li Zihao, was stunned for a moment, then said with a vicious smile, “Now, let’s see where you two can run to?
In this world, no one can play tricks on me, Li Zihao.”
The Sect Leader of Earth Demon Hall, Mo Wusha, also had a cold smile on his gloomy face as he said, “How do you two wish to die?”
The Sect Master of Yun Tian Sect, Wang Zhongtian, was also furiously glaring at Ye Chenfeng.
It was known that the Great Elder of Yun Tian Sect had died because of Ye Chenfeng, and he shouted angrily, “You little beast, dared to toy with our three major sects, you should have known this day would come.”
Ye Chenfeng, holding Xia Zining’s hand, used the Soul Force to withstand the high temperatures in the enclosed space.
He looked at the people from Cloud Soaring Palace, Earth Demon Hall, Yun Tian Sect, along with Tianshan Sect’s Sect Leader Fang Zhiyong, Great Elder Qiu Yuanlong, and the Myriad Poison Sect’s Kang Baiyin, but his face did not show any sign of panic.
Rather, the people of Red Flame Valley, who also knew the three major sects had been tricked by two youngsters before, quickly guessed the identities of Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining given the angry emotions of the three major sects’ people.
The second Elder of Red Flame Valley, Wang Mingchong, quickly walked up to Ye Chenfeng and said enthusiastically, “Young man, I heard that you are very skilled at handling mechanisms?
It seems you must have found the Ghost King Sect’s treasure, right?
I guess you also have a way to get out of here, don’t you?”
Upon hearing Wang Mingchong’s speculation, the faces of the people from the three major sects changed once again.
The Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace, Li Dongtian, said, “Boy, you found the treasure of Ghost King Sect?
Just hand over the treasure to us and lead us out of here, and we can spare your lives.”
People like Wang Mingchong who painstakingly studied mechanisms and layouts usually spoke very directly.
However, seeing the consequences his words had caused, he gave Ye Chenfeng an apologetic look.
As the temperature in the enclosed space rose higher and higher, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining’s faces kept sweating, and the human skin masks they wore were slowly peeling off due to the sweat.
The Sect Master of Yun Tian Sect, Wang Zhongtian, noticed this phenomenon and sneered, “So these two had disguised themselves.
Now, I want to see their true faces.”
Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining also understood that they could no longer hide their true appearances now.
They boldly tore off the human skin masks from their faces.
When the people present saw Ye Chenfeng’s face, they all frowned.
It was known that not long ago, Yun Tian Sect, Tianshan Sect, and Myriad Poison Sect had searched for Ye Chenfeng.
These three major sects had also made many portraits of Ye Chenfeng.
Although the people from Cloud Soaring Palace, Earth Demon Hall, and Red Flame Valley had never seen Ye Chenfeng, they had still paid some attention to the affairs of Yun Tian Sect, so naturally, they had also seen Ye Chenfeng’s portraits.
The Sect Leader of Myriad Poison Sect, Kang Baiyin, widened his eyes and exclaimed first, “Ye Chenfeng?
You are actually Ye Chenfeng?”
With Kang Baiyin’s exclamation, everyone present recalled who the young man in front of them was.
Sect Master Wang Zhongtian of Yun Tian Sect, Sect Leader Fang Zhiyong of Tianshan Sect, and Great Elder Qiu Yuanlong were all disbelievingly agape.
They had not expected Ye Chenfeng to have already returned to the top powers.
Then what about Wang Muchong, Wang Zhongtian’s father, who had been sent to the Secular World to capture Ye Chenfeng?
Meanwhile, the Sect Leader of Earth Demon Hall, Mo Wusha, and the young master of Cloud Soaring Palace, Li Zihao, their gazes were fixedly staring at Xia Zining.
Li Zihao had tried multiple times to get Xia Zining, but unfortunately, after Moonlight Palace was destroyed, Xia Zining had disappeared as well.
This had always left Li Zihao feeling resentful.
Now seeing Xia Zining right in front of him, his face revealed a vicious smile, saying, “Zining, we haven’t seen each other in a long time, have we?”
Then Li Zihao looked back at Ye Chenfeng and asked, “Are you the Ye Chenfeng that Yun Tian Sect, Tianshan Sect, and Myriad Poison Sect want to capture?”
At that moment, all eyes in the room focused on Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining.
With their identities revealed, Ye Chenfeng, who was originally seen as a minor figure in the eyes of Cloud Soaring Palace and other sects, had now put them in a desperate situation.
When Kang Baiyin revealed Ye Chenfeng’s identity, it indeed gave the people of Cloud Soaring Palace and the other sects a ridiculous sensation of their eyes popping out of their sockets.
