Chapter 1862: The Four Symbols Gate

"Senior Brother Xu, in the panic just now, I think I saw Junior Sister Leng and that Ye Yuan swallowed by the flames!" said a young prodigy.

A large wave of flames had just surged over, instantly engulfing many people.

It would not be strange if Leng Qiuling had died in it.

"Damn it!"

Looking back at the vast sea of fire behind him, Xu Xing was filled with chagrin. He had finally taken a liking to a woman, and she had been burned to death just like that.

Zhuo Han, however, was excited, because he had heard that Ye Yuan was also dead.

"Senior Brother Xu, there's no need to be so upset. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Although Leng Qiuling had some looks, she was still a bit unworthy of you," Zhuo Han consoled.

Sure enough, Xu Xing's expression improved upon hearing this. He put on a regretful look and nodded, "That may be so, but I am still saddened that Junior Sister Leng perished in the flames!"

Zhuo Han smiled, "Senior Brother Xu is indeed a man of deep feeling. I admire that."

"Hey, look! It seems someone is walking in the sea of fire!"

Suddenly, a young prodigy shouted.

Everyone was startled and looked over with doubtful eyes.

When they saw clearly, their jaws dropped one after another.

In the sea of fire, two figures were indeed faintly visible, coming this way.

"This... how is this possible? Such a terrifying sea of fire, yet someone can traverse through it."

"Yes, I saw clearly just now. A Celestial God Fourth Layer expert was turned to ashes in an instant. How could anyone walk through it?"

"Wait, it seems to be a man and a woman. They look familiar!"

He didn't need to say it; everyone could already see clearly. These two figures were none other than Ye Yuan and Leng Qiuling!

Ye Yuan held Leng Qiuling's hand, appearing and disappearing in the sea of fire, as if they could be swallowed up at any moment.

But the raging flames seemed to deliberately avoid them, keeping them safe at all times.

Zhuo Han's face nearly turned green as he watched this scene, filled with disbelief.

Swoosh!

Ye Yuan leaped up, bringing Leng Qiuling directly out of the sea of fire.

Unscathed!

Everyone could hardly believe their eyes. In such a violent sea of fire, they had emerged completely unharmed!

Ye Yuan looked at Xu Xing with a playful expression, "Senior Brother Xu, didn't you say just now that you would protect Junior Sister Leng? Why did you run faster than a rabbit?"

Xu Xing's expression froze. He had just sworn heroically, looking like a great hero, saying he would protect Leng Qiuling.

But when it came time to flee, he hadn't even glanced at Leng Qiuling and ran faster than anyone.

"Junior Sister Leng, I..."

Just as Xu Xing was about to explain, Leng Qiuling said indifferently, "Senior Brother Xu is precious; how could he risk himself? Besides, Senior Brother Xu and I are not related, so there was no need for you to stay and save me."

As for Xu Xing, Leng Qiuling also looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.

As they say, adversity reveals true feelings. It was absolutely true.

Along the way, Xu Xing had been overly attentive, but when the critical moment came, he was completely unreliable.

A person like that had no sense of responsibility at all.

Xu Xing and the others had retreated too suddenly, instantly exposing Leng Qiuling to the sea of fire.

Caught off guard, Leng Qiuling nearly perished in the flames.

At the critical moment, it was Ye Yuan who stepped forward and led her out of the sea of fire.

But as for Ye Yuan, Leng Qiuling's heart was also extremely shaken.

All around them, frenzied fire serpents danced wildly, yet it seemed as if they were blind to the two of them. She had no idea what was happening.

In short, wherever the fire serpents passed, wails filled the plains, yet the two of them alone remained unscathed—truly miraculous.

Hearing Leng Qiuling say this, Xu Xing's heart felt as if pricked by needles.

Over the years, Leng Qiuling was the first woman to stir his heart, yet in the blink of an eye, their relationship had turned to this.

He cast a venomous gaze at Ye Yuan, attributing this outcome to him.

…

In a valley ahead, a group of True God experts had already arrived.

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over them and noticed that these True God experts were all wounded, and their numbers had dwindled.

Clearly, the Immortal Phoenix Heavenly Fire Grand Formation was extremely powerful, and even True God experts could hardly avoid perishing.

In the valley at this moment, aside from the experts of the Qianling Alliance, other independent cultivators were also resting.

In fact, the number of independent cultivator experts who had come was several times that of the Qianling Alliance, and among them were many True God-level experts.

But here, no one dared to use their True God realm power; otherwise, being killed would be a matter of an instant.

"The Tianyang Mountain Range is so vast, and we've already lost so many people without even finding the entrance to the cave mansion. Could this be a trap?" someone in the crowd complained.

"Who says it isn't? This Four Symbols Grand Formation is too terrifying—it's like a living hell! Could it be that we'll all die before even finding the entrance?"

Whether from the Qianling Alliance or the independent cultivators, everyone's expressions were grim.

Clearly, this was also their concern.

The Four Symbols Grand Formation set up by Celestial Immortal Heavenly Lord was too dreadful, killing them as if it were child's play.

But with so many dead and not even a glimpse of the cave mansion's entrance, how could they not be frustrated?

Rumble…

Just then, from four directions in the valley, four stone doors rose abruptly, shaking the earth.

"The keys to opening the cave mansion lie within these four stone doors! Each stone door contains a drop of Heavenly Lord-level Four Symbols True Blood. Once you gather all four drops of Four Symbols True Blood, you can open my cave mansion and obtain my inheritance!"

A voice boomed like thunder, sending waves of ecstasy across everyone's faces.

Heavenly Lord-level Four Symbols True Blood—what a tremendous opportunity!

If one could obtain a drop of Heavenly Lord-level Four Symbols True Blood, even without entering the cave mansion, it would be enough to benefit for a lifetime.

The crowd erupted into excitement once again.

Especially Ji Kang, whose eyes practically gleamed.

His cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the True God realm for a long time, unable to break through.

He knew that his potential had long been exhausted, and he could never break through to the Heavenly Lord realm.

But if he could obtain a drop of Heavenly Lord-level Four Symbols True Blood, he might very well break through to the Heavenly Lord realm!

Whoosh!

Without a moment's hesitation, Ji Kang dashed straight toward the eastern stone door.

That stone door was the Azure Dragon Gate.

At this moment, the Qianling Alliance was of no use; those True God experts all moved swiftly, scrambling toward the four stone doors.

Whoever was a step slower might have their opportunity snatched away by others.

"Young Master Ye, which stone door do you plan to enter?" Leng Qiuling asked curiously.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The Vermilion Bird True Blood should be the most suitable for your bloodline. How about we enter the Vermilion Bird Gate?"

Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan in surprise. From his words, it seemed he intended to give the Four Symbols True Blood to her if they obtained it?

"This… Young Master Ye, don't you want the Four Symbols True Blood?" Leng Qiuling asked.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's just Four Symbols True Blood, nothing too special. Let's go."
