At a place far from the battlefield outside the Cloud Sky Sect.
Many idle cultivators gathered on the mountain and watched the battle between the two sects from afar.
“When did Fang North Mountain become so powerful and attack so boldly?”
“They must have received help from a benefactor. If not for those reinforcements, I’m afraid they wouldn’t have dared to do this.”
Among these people, there were two old and one young.
Li Yuanqing stood at the front and looked at the battlefield in front of him with concern. The Cloud Sky Sect was already at a disadvantage and was about to be officially attacked.
However, they did not know why Fang North Mountain stopped attacking and surrounded them. It was not good for them to drag this out.
“Seniors, Fang North Mountain has colluded with the Divine Fire Sect. It’s time for him to be proud. When should we attack?”
Huo Feng looked in the direction of the battlefield with a solemn expression.
“This Divine Fire Sect dares to get involved with these two sects. It can be seen that their strength has increased a lot during this period of time. If they continue like this, I’m afraid they will definitely cause a huge disaster.”
Wang Lan had also sobered up a lot at this moment. He stroked his beard and sized up the battle.
“What do you think they’re waiting for? They clearly had a chance early on, but they’re wasting time here. Why is that?”
“Could they be waiting for something?”
“Wait for what?”
“Not right, something’s wrong in the southwest!”
The three of them took action and disappeared. Not long after, they arrived at the periphery of a wide canyon.
Dozens of miles away from the canyon, there was a circle of guards stationed here. This team of guards was patrolling along the periphery and did not notice that two white-haired old men had appeared behind them.
The two white-haired old men followed behind them with smiles on their faces, like two urchins.
The captain who was patrolling in front suddenly sensed that something was wrong and looked behind him.
However, his vision was completely blocked by the puppets, so he could not see clearly. He looked left and saw nothing. He looked right and saw nothing.
It turned out that Huo Feng and Wang Lan had tilted to the right when he looked to the left. When he turned right, the two would turn left.
Such a trick made him dizzy. In addition, the two of them were laughing happily. The gradually arrogant laughter made him think that he had heard wrongly.
“Stop!”
The captain raised the Soul Summoning Banner in his hand high and all the puppets stopped on the spot. He stormed to the back of the line.
However, there was nothing there. Just as he was feeling puzzled, two white-haired and youthful heads inexplicably appeared on his shoulders.
One of them said, “What are you looking for?”
The other said, “Looking for you, of course. Do you have to ask?”
The captain looked around and was shocked by the two huge heads. He hurriedly waved his hands at the two shoulders, wanting to hit their heads. However, not only did he not hit them, but he even put his hands behind his back.
Just as he placed his hand on his shoulder, thousands of threads instantly wrapped around him and tied him up like a dumpling, lying on the ground.
Wang Lan picked up the wine gourd and took a big gulp. He said happily, “You’re still the same as before.”
Huo Feng snorted coldly and said unhappily, “Don’t mention the past. If I hadn’t promised this brat, I wouldn’t be willing to get involved in this mess with you.”
“If you say so, then I haven’t promised him yet. I think I’ll leave now and let the two of you deal with those evil people.”
“If you want to leave, you can leave. Who has asked you to stay here?”
Seeing that the two old seniors were arguing again, Li Yuanqing came to help mediate.
“Seniors, don’t argue anymore. Since we’re both working for the human race, it’s better to quickly resolve these evil sects. Why don’t we put aside your personal grudges for the future?”
“What personal grudge do I have against him?”
Just as they were arguing, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the core of the valley.
The two of them became serious at the same time and looked into the middle of the valley. They could tell that something was wrong from each other’s eyes.
“Old man, stop talking so much nonsense. I think they’ll really turn the world upside down if we don’t do something about it.”
The three of them arrived at the center of the valley and saw a blood-red cauldron.
There were hundreds of people in Daoist robes sitting below the cauldron. Ribbons were drawn out from their bodies and connected to the periphery of the huge cauldron.
The three of them looked at the grand scene in front of them in shock. It was really rare.
“What are they doing?”
Li Yuanqing asked in confusion.
Huo Feng frowned and slowly replied, “If I’m not wrong, they’re using the power of many weapon refinement masters to suppress the power in the cauldron, purifying the fire-attribute spiritual energy inside infinitely and finally obtaining the purest fire-attribute power. The power is earth-shattering.”
“There’s actually such a method?”
“This is a very risky method. The weapon condensed from this method must be consumed in a short period of time. Otherwise, the incomparably violent energy inside will be very difficult to control and will cause trouble.”
Wang Lan looked at the inside of the cauldron and nodded gently.
“No wonder those guys surrounded the Cloud Sky Sect and didn’t attack. So they were brewing such a huge thing outside. If they make this thing, the Cloud Sky Sect’s city protection array will probably be as fragile as paper.”
“That’s right. They want to finish it in one go. They should be waiting for the most suitable time now. At noon, they will attack.”
He looked up and saw that the sun was almost at its highest point. It was a clear sky on one side and dark clouds on the other. This scene was quite shocking.
Li Yuanqing looked at the hundreds of people below. All of them were extraordinary. Even though they had consumed a lot of vitality to control the temperature of the alchemy furnace, they could not be underestimated.
Although the three of them were not bad, they were not enough to deal with so many people.
In the end, his gaze landed on the alchemy furnace. Since he could not defeat more than a hundred weapon refinement masters,
wouldn’t destroying the alchemy furnace that they had worked so hard to control achieve the same effect?
Li Yuanqing made up his mind after confirming it. However, the two fellows beside him had already discussed it.
“As usual, go ahead and attract their attention. Open a breakthrough point. I will seize the opportunity to mess up the composition in the alchemy furnace and let them miss the best opportunity.”
Huo Feng skillfully took out a set of array discs and placed them at his feet.
Wang Lan did not say anything else. He folded the nine gourds behind his waist and a large fan appeared in his hand.
“Senior, how can I help you?”
Li Yuanqing did not expect these two seniors to directly exclude him.
Huo Feng formed a seal with his hands and said without looking at him, “Stand behind me obediently and save your life! I’m still waiting for you to find the Heavenly Soul Incense for me.”
As he spoke, Wang Lan had already arrived at the periphery of the group of heavenly masters with his fan.
At this moment, the hundreds of people inside finally noticed the three uninvited guests outside. Two of them stood in front of Wang Lan.
“Who are you?! How dare you barge into the forbidden area!”
Wang Lan had a drunken smile on his face, but he was calm.
“I drank too much and wandered around before coming here. What are you doing? Is there a scheme behind this?”
“Nonsense! How can you come here? Leave quickly!”
The two of them shouted and waved the weapons in their hands as they rushed towards Wang Lan.
Just as the two of them were halfway there, Wang Lan suddenly fanned the big fan in his hand forward with all his might.
A violent wind appeared out of thin air. The wind even hit the two of them with the whistling of flames.
The two of them were blown by the violent wind. Their clothes were burned completely, and their skin was burned by the flames. Their hair had sparks of fire.
The two of them panicked and mobilized their spiritual energy to resist with all their might, but they could only barely resist.
Seeing this, Wang Lan slapped them again. Another gust of wind hit the two of them. After the wind blew, the two of them instantly turned into powder, leaving only a piece of powder that was blown countless miles away. In just two moves, the two of them were destroyed.
Wang Lan put the fan aside and took out the wine gourd from behind. He took another big gulp and said emotionally, “I haven’t played so happily in a long time.”
Seeing that the situation was not right, the heavenly masters below immediately sent out a ten-man team to surround Wang Lan.
The flames in the pill furnace became stronger and stronger, and the sun in the sky became brighter and brighter. It was as if there was a faint thread connecting the sun to the alchemy furnace below.
At first, Li Yuanqing wondered if he had seen it wrongly. However, he was shocked to discover that after the threads were formed, they seemed to be absorbing power. The incomparably dazzling sun gradually dimmed, and the alchemy furnace became even more dazzling.
When Huo Feng saw this, his expression became even more solemn.
“We don’t have time!”
A phoenix slowly took shape in Huo Feng’s hand.
In the beginning, the little phoenix was just a lotus flower that slowly changed. It swam slowly and first grew out of the mountains, then wings, then a clear head and a long tail.
In the end, even the feathers on its body became clear.
Li Yuanqing clearly felt the terrifying power contained in the small phoenix’s body.
In order to condense this fire phoenix, most of the spiritual energy in Huo Feng’s body had been sucked away. He swallowed several bottles of pills in a row.
However, the aura in the alchemy furnace was getting stronger and stronger. Huo Feng was not done yet.
Wang Lan was surrounded by more than ten people. Those people were now careful and formed their own formations. It would be difficult for Wang Lan to break through in a short period of time.
Therefore, it looked like they were in a stalemate.
However, at this moment, an extremely huge Dharma Idol suddenly appeared in the world and stood tall.
The Dharma Idol looked at the ant-like living beings under its feet with incomparable dignity.
The moment this Dharma Idol appeared, the heavenly masters exploded. This was because this incomparably powerful Dharma Idol had already raised a huge foot and was about to step on their heads. It was about to wipe them out.
At this moment, although the people in the middle were still struggling, many people in the periphery had already retreated and dodged out in a panic.
“Steady and don’t leave!”
In the center of the array formation, the man in the green Daoist robe was blown by the wind.
His shout had some effect, but it was too late.
The heavenly masters who were fleeing outside had retreated too suddenly, causing the power in the alchemy furnace to change drastically. Now, the entire alchemy furnace began to tremble violently.
The alchemy furnace was about to fail. If this continued, the treasures inside would probably explode and destroy them before they could be refined.
At this moment, the man in the green flame Daoist robe suddenly took out a golden talisman. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood essence on the talisman. For a moment, the talisman building shone with golden light.
He waved his hand, and the golden talisman expanded in the wind to a thousand feet tall. It covered the opening of the alchemy furnace like a blanket.
With this power added, the alchemy furnace that had begun to shake violently slowly calmed down. Coupled with the efforts of the people below to maintain it, the power inside was balanced again.
The heavenly masters who had escaped just now were surprised to discover that the Dharma Idol had already disappeared.
Li Yuanqing could summon this Dharma Origin Idol, but so far, it could only play a deterrence role and could not unleash much strength.
The ability to scare them just now had already achieved the effect Li Yuanqing wanted. The phoenix in Huo Feng’s hand was becoming more and more lifelike.
“Good lord, what was that just now?”
Huo Feng looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief, but he had to focus on the phoenix in his hand and did not have time to ask.
Li Yuanqing replied casually, “It’s just a small trick. Senior, how long do you have? It’s the best time for them to be unstable!”
Huo Feng suddenly raised his hands. The gorgeous fire phoenix finally took flight and slowly spread its wings to fly high, circling twice above Huo Feng’s head.
The moment the fire phoenix took shape, the green-robed man seemed to have smelled great danger and hurriedly shouted at them.
“We can’t let that phoenix come over! Stop him!”
For a moment, more than ten Heavenly Masters pounced at Li Yuanqing and his companion.
