Lingxuan and Lu Xueqi walked along this dark road, and a small path appeared in front of them.
The Burning Incense Valley occupied a large area. This small path looked winding and led to the depths of the valley.
Lu Xueqi looked at the road. Lingxuan pulled Lu Xueqi and sped towards this path. They knew that the Valley of Incense would be in chaos later, and the security would be even tighter. By then, the hope of saving Little White would be extremely slim.
All of a sudden, a white rectangular object appeared by the side of the road ahead. Lu Xueqi's gaze focused and she looked over. It was a stone tablet with two lines of eight characters carved on it:
Mystic Flame restricted area, disciple stops.
Lu Xueqi read it out in a low voice and looked at Lingxuan with a puzzled expression. Lingxuan thought for a moment and said,"Looks like we're on the right path. I reckon that the important place of the Burning Incense Valley is right ahead-the Mystic Flame Altar!”
Although the stone tablet looked ordinary, it seemed to be a dividing line. After passing the stone tablet, for some reason, although the path continued to meander forward, the trees and flowers on both sides of the road were clearly much fewer.
First, the grass on the ground gradually disappeared, followed by the low shrubs. Finally, even the originally dense trees on both sides gradually became sparse. The ground started to crack, and even the remaining trees had turned yellow. It was as if there was an extreme lack of water in the area, and the ground had been scorched.
Lingxuan and Lu Xueqi followed the path and turned the last corner. Suddenly, a large open space appeared in front of them, and a wave of heat came from nowhere.
In the middle of the empty space was a huge circular altar. The bottom was suspended in the air, and thirteen huge stone pillars made of white jade were supporting the entire altar. There were a total of twelve white jade stone pillars at the edge of the altar. Each pillar was as thick as two people hugging each other. The thickest white jade stone pillar in the middle of the altar looked like it would take at least five to six people to hug each other.
Above the altar, all the buildings were made of a strange red stone material. The stairs and railings were all made of the same material. In the center of the altar stood a tall and majestic hall in the shape of a pagoda. There were three floors in total, and each floor was about half the size of the one below. However, each floor seemed to be an incredible hundred feet tall.
From afar, the altar looked like a huge burning red flame that pierced the sky. Lingxuan and Lu Xueqi stood under the altar like ants, extremely tiny.
"Looks like this is the Mystic Flame Altar. Let's go in!”
Lu Xueqi hummed in acknowledgment and flashed in with Lingxuan.
After entering the Mystic Flame Altar, there was a ball of flame in the middle of the hall. As they got closer to the ball of flame, the surrounding air became hotter. At this moment, it was almost as if they were standing beside lava.
On the flat floor made of red stones, a pattern appeared. A finger-thick mark appeared on the stone, extending to both sides. However, it looked curved and definitely not flat. A foot in front of Lingxuan and Lu Xueqi, there was also a mark as thick as a finger. It was carved on the hard red stone, forming a foot-long pattern.
It was a god!
Vigorous carvings slowly extended on the ground. Traces of time could be seen everywhere on the corners, indicating that these patterns had existed for a long time and revealed a trace of desolation.
The god had no head on his head, but he had horns that were slightly curved like a goat's horn. His face was similar to a human's, but under his pair of gloomy and empty eyes, there were sharp fangs in his mouth. The sculptor even carved a few tiny holes beside the fangs, like blood dripping down, adding a bit of fierceness and savagery.
This god's body was very different from a human's. His body was as strong as a tiger's and had four arms. One hand held a saber, and the other held a shield. One of his remaining two hands was tightly gripping a twisted human body in pain. That person seemed to be screaming at the sky. His other hand was holding something that was still dripping with blood. It was a human heart.
At this point, the originally ancient and desolate mark suddenly became furious and unrestrained. That strength and the hatred in his heart seemed to have exploded all of a sudden.
The gentle marks instantly became intense, flowing down from the torso and fusing into one at the lower body of the fierce god, turning into a burning flame. The red light flickered and shone. The corner of the god's mouth seemed to have a trace of a sinister smile, as if he was about to break out of the ground and revive!
A single engraving seemed to have seized all the good fortune in the world!
The marks were still extending on the ground. Ling Xuan and Lu Xueqi continued to walk to the side, and gradually, a second god statue, a third god statue, and finally, after circling around the red flame in the center, he saw a total of eight god images engraved on the ground. None of them were the same, but Lu Xueqi was almost certain that the carvings on the ground were all ferocious gods.
In these images, humans had completely become the sacrifices of these gods, just like food. The entire hall was filled with killing intent. It was as if there was a vicious creature roaring in the dark as these images appeared.
On the periphery of these Demon God images, there was a mark that wrapped them all up. However, it was not a complete circle. Sometimes it bent inward and sometimes it rolled outward. Lu Xueqi could not understand it at the moment.
"Why would the Mystic Flame Altar, an important place in the Burning Incense Valley, have the pictures of these ferocious gods? "Lu Xueqi threw a trace of doubt.
"This should be the Eight Bane Mystic Fire Array!" Ling Xuan said indifferently. This Eight Bane Mystic Flame Formation was originally a supreme formation created by the Witch Goddess Ling Long of the Witch Tribe. Its power can be compared to our Green Cloud's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Exquisite had recorded this formation in the Witch Tribe's secret book, the Incense Burning Jade Book. Perhaps by chance, the founder of the Incense Burning Valley had obtained the Witch Tribe's Incense Burning Jade Book and founded the Incense Burning Valley. At this moment, I'm guessing that this Mysterious Fire Altar should be the place where Ling Long created the Eight Vicious Mysterious Fire Array!”
Lu Xueqi nodded slightly and turned to look at Lingxuan with even more confusion."How do you know so much? Also, why did you use the Ghost King Sect's technique when you fought with Li Xun just now?”
Lingxuan was shocked. This Lu Xueqi was indeed meticulous. She immediately discovered Lingxuan's uniqueness. How was he going to explain this to her?
Ling Xuan was silent for a long time. Lu Xueqi became even more suspicious of Ling Xuan. She tightened her grip on Tian Ya's hand. At this moment, Ling Xuan smiled and said," I'm knowledgeable and talented. I've read many books, so I naturally know more. That move just now was just a superficial one, and it's not the real move of the Ghost King Sect. As for the Eight Malefic Array, I learned about it because an expert once explained it to me in detail.”
In fact, Ling Xuan was just making it up. The description of the Eight Ferocious Mysterious Fire Array just now came from the seventh volume of the Heavenly Book. This Heavenly Book was a sacred object of the Heaven Realm. The seventh volume recorded many arrays in the human world. The Eight Ferocious Mysterious Fire Array was naturally recorded in the Heavenly Book. Even the Celestial Slaying Sword Array of Qing Yun was also recorded in the Heavenly Book. However, it could only be activated if one had the Taiqing Dao.
Lu Xueqi was also skeptical about Lingxuan's words, but since he had said so, she could not say anything else.
In the center of the hall was a stone well. It was thin at the top and thick at the bottom. It was three feet high and less than two feet in diameter. Like the stones on the ground, it was built with the same red stone. There was a white, transparent, and strange stone that was as clear as crystal. It looked like a circle, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there were countless cut surfaces on it. They were of different sizes, and incomparably dazzling light flowed and covered it. The red light that was constantly shooting out from the well was refracted layer by layer after passing through this crystal-like strange stone. It seemed that there were traces of blood flowing inside.
Ling Xuan naturally knew that once he touched the strange stone, he would trigger the mechanism and the Scarlet Flame Beast would come out. Therefore, Ling Xuan did not care about the strange stone. Instead, Lu Xueqi looked at the strange stone curiously. Lingxuan saw through Lu Xueqi's thoughts and teased,"It does look beautiful, but if I had to choose, I would choose to stare at you. Hehe, time is of the essence now. Let's hurry up and leave.“
Lu Xueqi's face turned red and she said angrily,""You have a glib tongue. How shameless!"
Before she could finish speaking, she was pulled by Lingxuan's hand and passed through the hall.
