Chapter 1660 A Trap
“Ha… We have a chance to be saved!”
“Elder, I heard that the Dao Seeking Cultivators cultivating fires can absorb the cyan Fire Spirits of the Devil Calamity. Are they absorbing the Fire Spirits of the Devil Calamity?”
The subordinates used the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique to talk to Immortal Master Sanlei.
“I know that man in cyan is Immortal Master Waterheaven, the Sect Leader of the Highest Clouds Palace.”
“Hmm?”
Immortal Master Sanlei narrowed his eyes slightly. “It turns out to be the small force of the Highest Clouds Palace. How could they have a way to deal with the Fire Spirits?”
“Elder, could it be that they want to use us to lure the Fire Spirits in so that they can secretly gain benefits from outside?” Someone analyzed.
“There’s no need to talk about it.”
Immortal Master Sanlei slightly raised his eyebrows. “Let’s escape first. Since they like to deal with Fire Spirits, let them do.”
After using the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, Immortal Master Sanlei looked up and suddenly said, “Immortal Master Waterheaven, are you here to help us? Or are you here to find Fire Spirits?”
After a moment of silence, Immortal Master Waterheaven replied with the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, “We passed by and saw that you were trapped here. It is just a piece of cake.”
Immortal Master Sanlei laughed and suddenly stretched out his right hand. “Since you like to extinguish the Fire Spirits, I’ll give this place to you.”
Clatter!
A light breeze blew.
Immortal Master Sanlei controlled a formation and turned it into rays of light. With all kinds of cries, the light covered the energy layer around Zhang Han and the others.
Sizzling!
There was no response from the surrounding Fire Spirits, but the energy of Zhang Han’s Heaven-earth Formation was no longer stable.
The Fire Spirits could sense the auras of the Dao Seeking Cultivator of the Human Clan accompanied by their sounds.
“Thunder Breaking the Sky!”
A thunder ball appeared, exploded, and turned into a killing formation.
Seeing this, Zhang Han frowned. He took out dozens of kinds of spirit treasures, made a signet with his left hand, and launched a Heaven-earth Formation to resist.
Unexpectedly, the killing formation launched by Immortal Master Sanlei was powerful and even gathered the strength of his team. Even if Zhang Han reacted, his formation was still cut open.
In just three seconds, the gap closed.
However, the Fire Spirits sensed their auras.
The bell that had covered the surroundings of the big formation rang.
Clatter!
More than a thousand Fire Spirits immediately surrounded him and kept launching attacks.
Immortal Master Sanlei seized the opportunity to use their supernatural power to force a way out. After escaping from the encirclement, he looked back with a smile.
“Is this the way how the Holy Thunder Sect does things?” Immortal Master Waterheaven’s expression turned dark.
He didn’t expect to be set up.
Zhang Han was expressionless and looked into the distance calmly.
This kind of trick often happened in the Star Sea.
He thought it was normal, but it didn’t mean that he liked to be tricked.
“There is no need for me to explain things to you.”
Immortal Master Sanlei sneered and looked a little cold. “Besides, do you think your Highest Clouds Palace is qualified to ask about the Holy Thunder Sect?”
“Are you openly trying to frame us?” Immortal Master Waterheaven had a hideous look.
It seemed he really wanted to go over and fought the other party.
Immortal Master Sanlei laughed loudly. “How can this be called a trap? I saw that you like cyan Fire Spirits. There may be a Dao Seeking Cultivator cultivating fires in your team. I kindly gave you the Fire Spirits, but you didn’t appreciate it and bit back like a dog. You really don’t know what’s good for you. Highest Clouds Palace? Immortal Master Waterheaven?”
While speaking, he raised a finger. Seeing that some Fire Spirits were approaching, he began to retreat and sneered, “Don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, I will demand an explanation for what you did to my Holy Thunder Sect.”
The people beside him looked disdainful.
Someone said, “Highest Clouds Palace only has many branches. You have no strength. You can only rely on your humble attitude and a bit of connection to make a living. Who gave you the confidence to question Elder Sanlei?
“Don’t you know how big the gap is between our statuses?
“I advise you to leave now. If you let us meet you again, a few of you will die.”
Immortal Master Wuluo couldn’t bear to listen any longer, and he shouted in a grim voice. “The heavens are watching you. Immortal Master Sanlei, I thought you were an upright man. I didn’t expect you to be such a cunning villain!”
“Who do you think you are?” Immortal Master Sanlei said while retreating in the distance, “If I meet you next time, I will kill you.”
“Ha… If you dare to follow us, we’ll kill all the men and treat the women as toys.”
Several of his men echoed one after another, “I’m afraid that they can’t even withstand these thousands of Fire Spirits. Thank you for helping us attract the firepower.”
At this time, Zhang Han was controlling the Heaven-earth Formation with all his strength. He frowned slightly and looked forward.
Those people swaggered off after uttering some words.
“They are so despicable!”
Yue Wuwei was so angry that his face turned ferocious.
This guy had been in the top class of strength in the Sea Dragon Star Area, the Heavenly Dragon Star Province, the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven, and even the Silver Dragon Galaxy. He was the kind of hidden big shot who looked down on the world. After coming to the Star Sea, he suffered some blows to his mentality over the years. However, when he heard the other party mock them, he lost his temper.
“We should find a way to kill the person,” Yue Wuwei gritted his teeth and said.
“We wanted to rescue them, but it turned out to be a trap,” Mengmeng said unhappily.
“The Star Sea is so big. There are all kinds of people in it.” Zhang Han looked calm as he restored the stability of the Heaven-earth Formation. Then he said, “We can meet kind-hearted people like you, Palace Master, and we can also meet cunning people like Immortal Master Sanlei. Since they belong to a super sect, we will have a chance to deal with them in the future.”
He bore a grudge.
Zi Yan pursed her lips and agreed with Zhang Han in her heart.
“What should we do now?”
Immortal Master Wuluo took a deep breath and said, “We are surrounded by the Fire Spirits. They know we are here. They are still attacking the Heaven-earth Formation, trying to find our auras.”
“Just kill them.”
Zhang Han said, “Mengmeng, go all out to use the Profound Underworld Holy Fire.”
“Okay.”
Mengmeng tried her best.
Clatter!
The might of the Profound Underworld Holy Fire covered the heavens and the earth.
The surrounding cyan Fire Spirits of the Devil Calamity felt a little dizzy.
“What kind of fire is this?
“It seems to be purer than ours?
“I’m so scared.”
Clatter!
These Fire Spirits didn’t have any intelligence. They only possessed innate fear and drifted toward the surroundings.
In just two minutes, these Fire Spirits had forgotten what they were about to attack and could no longer feel the auras of the Dao Seeking Cultivators of the Human Clan.
“Let’s begin!”
Zhang Han narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Go!”
Immortal Master Wuluo organized. Every time a Fire Spirit was pulled in, they would attack together.
“Kill it!”
“Go!”
Yue Wuwei could not help but think, “What a group of cute people!”
In this way, it took them three days to deal with these Fire Spirits. After Mengmeng absorbed the thousands of Fire Spirits, she became more proficient in the control of the Profound Underworld Holy Fire. It was as if she had integrated the Profound Underworld Holy Fire into her body. Now, she could make moves with it easily.
“Daddy, I didn’t feel any specific benefits,” Mengmeng asked.
“It’s very beneficial to you.” Zhang Han said with a smile, “It’s good for some of your future situations. For example, the Profound Underworld Holy Fire will grow to the first level of the Alien Fires.”
“Hiss!”
Hearing this, Immortal Master Waterheaven gasped and said, “Hanyang, you really dare to think about it. It’s rare to hear of Alien Fires at the first level in tens of thousands of years. Some people almost died when they met one, and few of them survived. The Alien Fire at the first level is almost Peak-Stage Tribulation Stage. It’s like the attributed tribulation lightning. It’s too terrible.”
“It’s always good to have dreams,” Immortal Master Wuluo said.
“But dreams have to come close to reality.” Immortal Master Waterheaven shook his head.
“What if Mengmeng succeeds in the future?” Immortal Master Wuluo smiled and said, “That’s hard to say.”
“It’s rare to encounter, let alone to obtain one.”
“Palace Master, why don’t we make a bet?” Immortal Master Wuluo said, “I bet that Mengmeng’s Profound Underworld Holy Fire can advance to the first level within 10,000 years.”
“Then I’ll bet it can’t? No! You tricked me.” Immortal Master Waterheaven glared at him. “Wouldn’t I be offending them if I said these words?”
“Well, I’ll bet with you two. It won’t take that long. I think she can succeed within hundreds of years. The bet is six Profound-grade treasures.” Zhang Han smiled.
“That’s a deal.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven and Immortal Master Wuluo looked at each other and said at the same time, “Thank you for your Profound-grade treasures.”
“Ha…” Yue Wuwei laughed and said, “I’ll bet on it. It’s hard to say who will win.”
They chatted happily for a while and resolved the negative emotions caused by the previous group of people led by Immortal Master Sanlei.
It was very important to maintain a calm mentality in the secret realm. Now, Immortal Master Waterheaven and the others created a lively atmosphere and felt comfortable.
“Let’s continue.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven said, “Let’s see how many cyan Fire Spirits of the Devil Calamity we will encounter along the way.”
Everyone resumed their journey.
It was dangerous for others to pass through here, for example, the group of ten thousand people a few days ago.
The number of its people was reduced by one-third, with only about seven thousand left.
Now, they were fighting against a group of Fire Spirits.
“Watch out!”
“Don’t let them touch you.”
“Don’t panic. Keep the energy stable.”
“Damn it! We have 30,000 people here, and now there are only 7,000 left. What the hell is this place?”
It turned out more than thirty thousand of their people had come. However, more than half of them died in the peripheral regions.
“What a dangerous secret realm.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven sighed softly and said, ” Hanyang, if it weren’t for you, many of us might have died.”
“You don’t need to be so polite.” Zhang Han shook his head and chuckled. “I’m the Second Elder of the Highest Clouds Palace. It’s natural for me to make a contribution. Palace Master, I think you’re treating us courteously as outsiders.”
“Is that so?” Immortal Master Waterheaven sighed and said with a smile, “Maybe I’m not used to it. I don’t why, and I didn’t take you seriously as the Second Elder. But now that I hear you say this, I’m gratified.”
“Don’t be so courteous. We have to thank Mengmeng in the Sky of Fires and Clouds. Why are you so courteous?” Immortal Master Wuluo said with a smile.
“Yes. Mengmeng has made a great contribution. When we get back, the Palace Master will reward you more.” Immortal Master Waterheaven said with a smile.
However, he was discouraged. Mengmeng waved her hand and said, “Ha… No need, Palace Master. You may not have as many treasures as I do.”
Poof!
Immortal Master Waterheaven’s face twitched a few times.
