The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 514 Red Lotus Fire
Her consciousness was also bound and unable to be released, so she could only reach out and cover her eyes, slowly adjusting.

The further in she went, the stronger the light became. Song Wanning slowly made her way forward, moving very slowly.

The intense white light finally disappeared half an hour later.

She opened her eyes and it took her a while to adjust before she could finally see everything clearly.

This is actually an underwater castle!
The castle was not ornate; it was simply built of piled stones.

The location where Song Wanning was standing appeared to be a reception room, with many stone tables and chairs around it, and many bowls made of seashells on the stone tables.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, she turned into the nearest corner.

It was an empty room, with nothing but tables and chairs.

She searched several more rooms, but still couldn't find Mu Zixu.

Could it be that Mu Zixu didn't come in?
A glint of light flashed in Song Wanning's eyes. Or is there some secret passage here?

"Little one, help me check if there's anything strange around here."

She summoned the dragon spirit again.

"Ok!"

The dragon spirit was very proactive. It immediately sensed for a while and indeed discovered something slightly unusual.

"Sister, there's something wrong behind this wall!"

It suddenly pointed in a direction, a glint of light flashing in its eyes.

"There must be a hidden mechanism behind this!"

"Okay, let me take a look."

Song Wanning concealed the dark glint in her eyes and began to ponder how to open the mechanism.

At the same time, Mu Zixu had already entered the stone chamber. Looking at the underwater volcano in front of him, an astonishing light flashed in his eyes.

"Haha, I finally found it!!!"

More than a decade ago, he received a message in an ancestral home that there was a volcano at the bottom of the Wuyang Sea that led to the underworld.

Within this volcano resides the renowned strange fire, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire.

He was a cultivator specializing in alchemy and valued flames highly.

As long as the immortal fire on his body devours the red lotus karmic fire, he will definitely level up again!
Then, the pills I refine myself will be superior to Dao Qing's!
Nowadays, Mu Zixu's passion for alchemy has changed; it's now more about proving his strength, far surpassing Dao Qing's.

However, he himself seemed unaware of this, his eyes filled with ambition.

Looking at the volcano that had seemingly died out, he took out a magical artifact and covered himself with it before leaping into the crater.

The crater was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

He casually flicked out a spark, which provided some relief.

So he jumped down.

He was determined to obtain the Red Lotus Karmic Fire!

On the other side, after some time of trying, Song Wanning finally opened the mechanism and stepped into a rugged and winding path.

A few moments later, a volcano came into view.

"This volcano is actually buried in the sea. It must have fallen in from somewhere, or perhaps it's a result of some strange change in the landscape..."

How can a volcano erupt if it's located on the seabed?
It is very likely that this volcano originated from elsewhere.

Song Wanning thought of the ancient war, when the world collapsed and space shifted, and this volcano may have come to the Wuyang Sea because of this.

However, none of that matters. What matters is that Mu Zixu seems to know there is a volcano here, and he came almost straight here.

She narrowed her eyes. The most likely thing to appear in the volcano was a fire spirit, or a strange fire that had developed sentience.

Although it cannot compare to celestial fire, it is still a rare and highly sought-after item in the spirit world.

Could it be that Mu Zixu came for this reason?

A thoughtful glint flashed in her eyes. If that were truly the case, she would have to find a way to snatch the strange fire. With a thought, Song Wanning conjured a rune in mid-air—a superior-grade concealment rune.

In an instant, her aura and figure vanished; unless one possessed an extremely powerful divine soul, they would not have been able to detect her at all.

This rune can protect against strange fire, but it cannot protect against Mu Zixu. If you encounter it, you will be in great danger.

But with the opportunity right in front of her, Song Wanning was not about to back down.

She also designed a spatial teleportation talisman so that she could immediately leave the volcano and be teleported out if she encountered danger.

At that time, there will be a chance to escape.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Song Wanning finally jumped onto the volcano, which had long since ceased erupting.

Looking down, everything was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and you couldn't see anything at all.

She flicked out a cluster of flames and carefully leaped down.

After leaping and dodging across the jagged rocks, she gradually descended deeper.

But neither the expected Fire Spirit nor the Wood Spirit appeared; only endless darkness stretched into the depths.

Song Wanning paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued.

Just as she seemed to pass through a barrier, a familiar aura rushed towards her—it was Yin energy.

She paused, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

However, as the light entered, she looked around and discovered a familiar scene: the River of Oblivion, which she had visited before.

But at this time, the River of Oblivion was not yet deserted; it was covered with lush trees and flowers, and looked full of vitality.

Countless small boats drifted on the River of Oblivion, but perhaps the timing was wrong, for there was not a single living soul or ghost messenger in sight.

Standing outside the River of Oblivion, Song Wanning felt that everything was too mysterious.

She actually came to the River of Oblivion from the past.

It was the same place, but it gave her a completely different feeling, and the yin energy was much stronger.

After a moment of reflection, she boarded the boat on the River of Oblivion.

Having already crossed the River of Oblivion, the journey was very smooth, with almost no obstacles, and she arrived on the other side.

She released the yin energy within her body, disguising herself as a ghost cultivator, before continuing to walk inside.

However, not long after, she saw two ghost messengers, who were excitedly discussing something.

"How dare someone from outside get in!"

"That's right, they injured several of our ghost messengers as soon as they came in, and they even wanted to fight over the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. They really don't take us seriously!"

"Let's go help! We have to kill that guy!"

"Yes, let him see that we're not afraid of him!"

The two became increasingly angry as they talked, and they walked faster and faster.

When he spotted Song Wanning, he immediately waved to her.

"Fellow Daoist, are you also planning to capture the intruders?"

"Let's go, together!!"

The two waited for Song Wanning to arrive, then hurried off in one direction.

Song Wanning also learned from their complaints that Mu Zixu was actually after the Red Lotus Karmic Fire!

Red Lotus Karmic Fire, a legendary flame that can burn away karmic obstacles, mainly grows in the underworld.

This kind of flame is extremely powerful for cultivators, after all, who doesn't have a few lives on their hands?

Killing someone means creating negative karma.

Once tainted by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, one must endure the agony of having one's soul burned.
