2136: C2136 Eternal Fire

C2136 Eternal Fire

"This fire..."

Ning Qi looked at the fire in his palm and felt some warmth. He did not feel any discomfort. And just now, he was unconscious. He raised his palm, as if he had been affected by something after entering the hall.

At this moment, someone took a step back and realized that there were no more strange flames coming out. He heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart and looked at Ning Qi with a trace of respect in his eyes. He thought that this crisis was resolved by Ning Qi.

* Hong Long...... *

A loud sound was suddenly heard from the surroundings of the hall. The stones on the ground sank, and when they rose again, they turned into nine candlesticks!

These nine candlesticks were extremely exquisite. Complicated patterns were carved on them. If one looked carefully, the patterns seemed to suck one's soul in. It gave people a suffocating feeling. It took Meng Xituo and Netherworld Emperor more than ten breaths of time to react. Only then did they break out of it and regain consciousness. They looked at each other in shock.

These nine candlesticks were clearly the things Zhao Lan had asked them to find!

"What should we do?"

Meng Xituo secretly transmitted his voice.

"What else can we do?"

Netherworld Emperor gave him a cold glance. What else could he do at this point? With their cultivation base, would they dare to snatch the nine candlesticks away from this senior?

"What a pity..."

Meng Xituo sighed in his heart. If he could bring these nine candlesticks out... Perhaps, they would be able to leave Second Layer Sky and head to the Third or Fourth Heavens. At their level, they might be invincible in the Second Layer Sky. However, it was very difficult to break through the bottleneck and reach the Void Underworld Realm. Only those who had gone to the Third or Fourth Heavens had a chance!

"So, this is the Eternal Fire."

Ning Qi's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the surrounding divine statues. He had a vague feeling that the statues around him had prepared this flame for him. Perhaps the true bodies of the statues had left behind a wisp of divine sense in this place. Just like the woman!

"Ignite the Eternal Fire, then the mission will be completed. If the mission is completed, will this place disappear?"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Ning Qi's eyes. If he had entered the Nether River Divine Palace at the beginning... It was to complete the compulsory mission that the system had assigned him. Now... He wanted to stay in Nether River Divine Palace for a while longer to see if that woman had left any more clues behind. The Nether River Divine Palace was huge. There must be another place after the Yama Hall.

Boom!

A loud noise suddenly came from outside. The cultivators outside the main hall hurriedly turned around to look. The place where the sound came from was similar to the place where the Jade Lake was located.

Could it be that another cultivator came in and happened to see the three thousand Ox-head Monsters and the headless corpse?

"This noise... Could it be that High Ambassador Zhao Lan came in?"

Meng Xituo's expression changed slightly.

Netherworld Emperor did not speak. He just calmly turned around and looked. In his heart, it was the same as what Meng Xituo had guessed. To cause such a big commotion, it must be Zhao Lan who had come in. Otherwise, with the strength of the headless corpse and the three thousand Ox-head Monsters, any ordinary cultivator would have been killed instantly. It was impossible for such a huge commotion to occur!

...

Outside the Jade Lake.

Zhao Lan stood not too far away with a complicated expression on his face, looking at the two figures battling Headless Demon and the three thousand Ox-head Monsters.

Occasionally, there would be Ox-head Monster that would find him, but he would be easily killed by Zhao Lan. However, just like Ning Qi and the others, he was unable to completely suppress and kill the Ox-head Monster.

Zhao Lan's seat wasn't too far ahead, so there weren't many Ox-head Monsters that could find him. He could still easily deal with them. If there were about a hundred Ox-head Monsters, he would be directly killed. Perhaps even with his early Void Underworld Realm cultivation, he might have to flee in panic.

The reason for all of this was that the two figures in front of him had absorbed most of the firepower. These two were cultivators of the Third Heaven just like him. However, their cultivation and strength were much higher than his, as they were at the Late Void Underworld Realm. Furthermore, their status in the Third Heaven was much higher than Zhao Lan's. He was a figure of Zhao Lan, martial uncle, and martial uncle's generation!

When Zhao Lan was waiting for Netherworld Emperor and the others outside, he didn't expect that these two would receive the news through some unknown channels and rush over.

Zhao Lan meant to let Netherworld Emperor and the others take all the risks while he sat and enjoyed the fruits of his labor. After all, Nether River Divine Palace wasn't a simple place. With his strength at the Early Void Underworld Realm, however, the two of them had different thoughts. Relying on their late Void Underworld Realm cultivation base, they had to enter the Nether River Divine Palace and explore it on their own. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Lan managed to follow them in. His originally happy mood had become somewhat gloomy because of the arrival of these two people.2

Very quickly, the two late stage Void Underworld Realm cultivators discovered that they were unable to kill the headless corpse. One of them stretched out his hand and grabbed at Zhao Lan. The three of them took advantage of the gap between them. The headless corpse rushed into the Jade Lake. Seeing this, it immediately withdrew its hand. The three thousand Ox-head Monsters also calmed down and stared at Zhao Lan and the other two.

"So they don't dare to enter this place, haha!"

One of the cultivators carried a gourd on his back and had messy white hair on his head. When he saw that his headless body couldn't enter the Jade Lake, he immediately laughed complacently.

The other cultivator appeared to be slightly calmer, looking like a middle-aged man. He had a refined aura on his body, and the Underworld Cultivator itself had a ferocious appearance. However, this man was somewhat similar to the Human Clan in the Central Continent. In the Netherworld... He could be considered a handsome man.

"Martial Uncle Jiu, Qingyun and martial uncle, let's go."

Zhao Lan looked at the headless body with some lingering fear. He was not sure if this place could really block the headless body. If the enemies swarmed in like a swarm of bees, they would be exhausted to death.

"Hmm? This seems to be a spiritual fruit garden. Why are all the fruits gone? The ground was flipped over! Zhao Lan, martial nephew, you are really foolish. How could you let those ants enter this place? What if they spoil the spirit fruit?"

Martial Uncle Jiu looked around and saw that the Jade Lake seemed to have been robbed by a group of bandits. He immediately felt dissatisfied in his heart.

"Alright, Senior Brother Jiu, it's just a spiritual fruit. Rumor has it that there's an Eternal Fire in the Nether River Divine Palace. This is our goal this time. We should take advantage of the fact that the cultivators of the Third Sky haven't arrived yet. Let's leave this place first and see if we can obtain the Eternal Fire. "

Qing Yun said indifferently.

Martial Uncle Jiu coldly harrumphed and reluctantly nodded his head. However, he still glared at Zhao Lan with dissatisfaction. In fact, Zhao Lan didn't inform them this time. He had arrived here first. This had already made him unhappy. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhao Lan's master was his junior brother... In other words... Yes! He would have killed them with a single palm!

Zhao Lan smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw this. If he knew this would happen, he would have passed the news to his master back then. It would have been better to pass the news to these two. If they had gotten the Eternal Fire, he was afraid that they wouldn't give him any benefits...
