Chapter 114 (2/2)
Xiao Hui warily watched that fire beast
But this strange beast suddenly behaved oddly, as if it could not believe it, looked at the Inferno Mirror and again looked at Ghost Li and Xiao Hui, it itated, rowls incessantly
After a while, as if it finally was unable to resist anys down, its body fell prostrate, the massive head slowly nodded thrice towards that Inferno Mirror and then with a low deep roar, the flames on its body suddenly dimmed down, all of the flae beast also started to dissipate into the air And the eight ferocious deities in the fire tote the fire beast, also started to disappear
The entire hall, suddenly quietened down
All of the ferocious lights disappeared, the hall once again shrouded by that faint red light from the volcano well, only above, where the fire beast had appeared, revealed a round hole which led to the second level
Xiao Hui whimpered, slowly sat on the floor beside Ghost Li and quietly watched its ash on its stomach
It waited silently
The pain gradually receded, life’s survival instinct pulled him out from the darkness
Ghost Li slowly opened his eyes
The excruciating pain was like an invisible burning fire, burned every inch of his flesh, it did not leave any trace but it was enough to exhaust him
He inhaled deeply, felt so cold in his hand, the ‘fire stick’ was beside his hand, acco him
Fire stick…
He suddenly h quietly, [zhi zhi] sounds were then heard beside hi beside hi himself The enormous body had now resuain leaned close to his hand Just that its stomach had been discoloured by the blood froliht, all reminded him of what had happened just now
Ghost Li suddenly smiled, looked at Xiao Hui and slowly sat up, he stretched his hand to gently srinned and called out [zhi zhi] twice, scratched its head
The red lights in the hall slowly rotated, shone onto their figures
Ghost Li observed his surroundings and felt exhausted but the channels inside his body, after that incredulous internal fight, seeentle and pure Inferno Mirror suddenly turned so violent, afteron it, it seemed to have some relations with this Inferno Altar and that bizarre ferocious deities formation
Ghost Li arranged his torn clothing and then tore a piece out, carried Xiao Hui over and carefully bandaged the wound on its sto, it saw a belt like sash on its stomach, [zhi zhi] called out and see above it
Right now Ghost Li gradually regained his strength, hugged Xiao Hui and stood up, looked around The hall was in shas could be seen everywhere but the scars were all on the floor, only a few on the walls And that circle of savage deities carvings, right now had resu there lifelike
He stood and conte he had been in this Inferno Altar but evidently that ShangGuan elderly as guarding this place still had not returned, uarding this place!
Then, he saw the round hole which led to the second level above his head
So at it from below, he could only see a small area of the hole entrance, beyond it seemed to be darkness
Ghost Li glanced at that darkness, suddenly spoke to Xiao Hui, “Let’s go up and take a look! Alright?”
Xiao Hui grinned in his embrace
Ghost Li gently patted its head then placed Xiao Hui at his shoulder, took a deep breath and then slowly floated up, leaving the ground and flying towards that hole
He ascended very slowly, extre this s were still, even when he floated up to the second level, he did not receive any attack
The second altar level other than the faint red lights fros were pitch dark but deep in the darkness, there was an object which was gloith faint light
Ghost Li walked towards that
There was a stone platforht, in the shape of a round pillar, the entire stone was very different fro a faint chill, a faint light above the stone pillar constantly changed color, turning light red at tireen, extre
And on top of the platforraved with three words -
Inferno Mirror!
Ghost Li’s eyes looked to his right arm, in-between the torn clothes, indistinctly revealed a crude shaped flame totem Inferno Mirror
He gently untied the treasure, after staring at it for a moment, placed it into the slot, it was a perfect match
The next roan was heard from above Xiao Hui and Ghost Li looked up at the sastones above, receded and revealed a stone hole
Almost at the same ti heat to frigid coldness like ice Against that faint red light, cold white air could be seen drifting down from the round hole above
The extreme temperatures of hot and cold, could actually exist at the same time on this Inferno Altar!
A faint smiled revealed on Ghost Li’s lips, he took the Inferno Mirror from the stone platforain headed for the highest level
The air became colder and colder, the heat from the volcano mouth simply had no effect at all here, when Ghost Li landed on the floor of the third level, he discovered that it was all thick frozen ice
There was no light in there but after Ghost Li’s eyes adjusted to the surroundings, he discovered faint bluish lights e from every corner
The solid ice which had been frozen for unknown nu softly
He sloalked forward, his footsteps reverberating on the ice, breaking the ancient silence in this place
Suddenly, a low alarentle yet desolated feGuan Ce?”
Ghost Li immediately stopped, after a moment, he stared deeply into the darkness and unhurriedly said, “I am not?”
That voice after re silent for a while, slowly said, “Who are you?”
Ghost Li responded with another question, “Then who are you?”
The solid ice that was elimmer, the feht light, like endless deep pupils, blinked and blinked, in the darkness, watching Ghost Li and Xiao Hui
Finally, to the Soul-Absorbing stick in his hand
“That ht?”
Ghost Li was surprised, did not answer, instead it was Xiao Hui which shouted out to the darkness, as if showing its strength
That feical weapon in your hand, is it ‘Sinister Orb’ and the evil object, ‘Soul-Devouring’, with Evil Sect ‘Blood Forging Skill?’ smelted by it?”
Ghost Li was shocked, his pupils shrank
That feh quietly and unhurriedly said, “Soul-Devouring and Sinister Orb are the world’s supree objects, especially Sinister Orb, it contains ruthless de one’s soul I can tell that although your skills are high but the evil energy had already penetrated deep into your body, sooner or later you will turn insane and die”
Ghost Li coldly said, “Who exactly are you?”
The fenored hih known as the divine a creatures and now its celestial eye has been opened but I see faint red savage light in its celestial eye’s golden light, most likely because it is around you, it is also infiltrated by the Sinister Orb evil energy, with tis, why not just nae Monkey’”
Ghost Li was greatly shocked and was speechless He had started to detect unusual changes in Xiao Hui but now that the facts were being clearly said out by the hts tumbled in his mind, he felt lost
Xiao Hui instead showed its anger, shrieked out loud and bared its sharp teeth at the darkness
That fery, hehe, what for? We are both innate divine creatures, you know me and I too know you, why do you have to covet the mortal world’s complicated human relationshi+ps?”
Ghost Li focused his thoughts, cal stick in his hand also slowly lighted with dark green light, he coldly said, “If you still do not reveal yourself, don’t bla!”
That fe Valley disciple and still able to reach the third level of the Inferno Altar, definitely you have soGuan Ce dead? But even he is not around, you can still go pass the ‘Eight Savage Inferno Foruarded by ‘Crimson Fire Beast’”
“Not right!”
Suddenly, that fe, her voice becaitated
“Not right, even how high your skills are, other than ShangGuan old ghost, in this whole world onlyonly with Inferno Mirror then the third level of the altar can be opened You, you have theInferno Mirror?”
At the last sentence, as if reflecting her ehted up with blue light at the same time
Ghost Li frowned but before he could react, that faint eyes in the darkness had already saw the edge of the Inferno Mirror peaking out from his bosom
The ancient tote faintly
“Inferno Mirror!”
A sharp long cry, that female voice instantly becauish, shock, sadness, hopelessness and a trace of desolation
“Why, why is the Inferno Mirror on you? How about Xiao Liu? How about Xiao Liu”
[Translator’s note: Xiao Liu also means Small Six]
She wailed, as if she had lost her mind In the third level of the Inferno Altar, deep in the darkness, blue light suddenly exploded out, nu between the darkness and light
A figure, as if flying out from the dark abyss but as if also like froure like a demon, moved in this space
Ghost Li was stunned, nowould be, he was also ure in front of him, he was still shocked
The far ushed up, filled his ly
Behind that figure, like in a nightmare, nine shadows danced
He slowly, slowly, spoke, “Nine-tailed Celestial Fox!”
