C118 (1/2)
The morning dew began to congeal.
A faint yet elegant sandalwood fragrance surrounded the Li Fire Sect.
Today was the opening day of the Burning Heaven Secret Realm. In the early morning, disciples woke up one after another. Each of them rubbed their hands together, eager to have a go at the Burning Heaven Secret Realm. This naturally included Qin Shi, who had just refined the Scarlet Dragon's blood essence.
”It's finally here.”
When Qin Shi arrived at the square, he was overwhelmed with emotions.
Beside him were Lin Yu, Su Ming, Qin Shang, Zhou Qin, and Xu Qiao'er. Currently, they were the disciples with the least experience in the Li Huo Sect. However, in terms of status, they were not inferior to some disciples who had entered the Sect for one or two years, especially Qin Shi.
Of course, not all disciples could participate in the Burning Heaven Secret Realm. After all, the Burning Heaven Secret Realm was full of dangers everywhere, and it was filled with randomness. If all disciples participated in it, then it was very likely that the Li Huo Sect would be paralyzed.
Because of this, Ling Xiao chose a batch based on his personal strength and contribution, around 500 disciples.
These five hundred people were all the elite disciples of the Li Huo Sect. They included eight Violet Rank disciples, hundreds of Blue Rank disciples, and an infinitely close to Blue Rank Green Rank disciples. They occupied one sixth of the disciples of the Li Huo Sect.
But who told them to use the back door?
”Little Brother Shitou, don't embarrass Big Sister when we arrive at the Burning Heaven Secret Realm.” After the number of people had been decided, Yin Mo wriggled his water snake waist and wobbled to Qin Shi's side, saying, ”If there's any danger, I can save you.”
Glancing at Yin Mo, Qin Shi yelled in a bad mood, ”Who cares that you would flatten your chest?”
”Stinky stone, don't you know how to talk to your sister?” With his chest being said to be flat, Yin Mo's expression turned ugly.
Qin Shi shrugged disapprovingly. Of course, in this short period of interaction, he could clearly feel a murderous intent churning behind him. Without even thinking, he knew that the killing intent came from Yuan Bo. However, he didn't care about this at all.
”Look, it's senior brother Shaoyang.”
”Wow, he's too handsome. If I can marry him, I'll die without regrets.”
Just at this moment, waves of noise came from the disciples and everyone's gazes were fixed on the stage.
Within the inner sect pavilion, five disciples were striding through the crowd, their heads held high as they walked towards the group of disciples one step at a time. Five disciples, three men and two women. The one leading them was dressed in a long robe, and his entire body was filled with a cold, arrogant aura. This aura was one that only the upper echelons could emit, and it was definitely not something that could be faked.
Qin Shi was quite curious when he saw the five of them.
”Shitou, these five people are the other five disciples that are Purple Rank. The two women are Liu Qing and Liu Lan. The two men behind him were Song Yu and Chen Gang. As for the one leading the group, it was the former number one person, Senior Brother Shaoyang. ” Qin Shi was surprised, while Hao Shuai explained on the side.
Qin Shi nodded as his gaze concentrated on Shao Yang.
He could feel a clear pressure from Shao Yang. ”This person is extraordinary.”
”You are Qin Shi?” At this time, the five of them walked forward. Shao Yang finally landed in front of Qin Shi and revealed a very natural smile as he said, ”You are now the sect's number one person. You are the leader of this year's Burning Heaven Secret Realm.”
With a big hat on his head, Qin Shi gritted his teeth and humbly said, ”Senior Shaoyang, I was just lucky. In terms of strength and experience, I am far from being a match for Senior Shaoyang. The heavy responsibility of being the leader of the Burning Sky Secret Realm belongs to Senior Shaoyang.”
Everyone liked to be praised, and Shao Yang was no exception. He nodded and said, ”Junior Brother is modest, let's work together.”
”We work together.” After a simple exchange, cold sweat dripped from Qin Shi's palms, ”Phew, what a monster.”
At this time, Yin Mo, who was standing at the side, burst out laughing, ”Aiyo, it seems like senior Shaoyang's power is truly extraordinary, to actually make our Junior Shitou be modest?”
”Scram, flat chest!”
Qin Shi scolded unhappily as he rolled his eyes.
The two of them once again entered the state where they were arguing nonstop.
”Cough cough, the number of people has been selected. Prepare to set off.” At this moment, a few dry coughs came from Ling Xiao, and a mighty voice came from the cabinet of Li Huo Sect. Soon after, he slacked off the five hundred disciples, as well as the sect's elders, and headed towards the mountain peak where the Fentanye Secret Realm was.
A group of people, awe-inspiring.
As they approached the Burning Heaven Secret Realm, a scorching heat wave rolled over.
Qin Shi and the others felt the heat wave as beads of perspiration rolled down their foreheads: ”Hah, what a fellow, it truly is worthy of being called the Ancient Secret Realm. How could such a terrifying air wave appear from such a far distance?”
As everyone arrived outside of the Burning Heaven Secret Realm, they saw that the surrounding area of the secret realm was shrouded in crimson flames. The endless rolling was like a torrential river, and every rolling would bring terrifying heatwaves.
In the Burning Sky Secret Realm, the people from the Cloud Cauldron Sect had already arrived.
Lin Yun led the elders and disciples. After seeing the people from the Li Huo Sect, he chuckled and said, ”Haha, Sect Master Ling Xiao, how have you been?”
”Don't worry about it.”
Hearing that, Lin Yun did not reply, but instead shifted his gaze to Qin Shi. With a strange glint in his eyes, he said, ”Little fellow, you did not expect that you would come? I'm looking forward to your performance in the secret realm. ”
Qin Shi said neither humbly nor humbly, ”Sect Leader Lin Yun, please be at ease. I will not disappoint you.”
At this time, one of the three little overlords, Chu Yuanba, stepped forward on the side. A burst of boundless spiritual energy surged and directly pressed against Qin Shi: ”Hehe, Qin Shi, I've said it before, as long as you dare to come to the Burning Heaven Secret Realm, I'll make sure you never return!”
Facing the vast amount of spirit energy, Qin Shi clenched his teeth.
