Therefore, although Soong Yuanyuan didn't know about the conflict between Ming Yu and Meng Ruyan, she knew the progress Ming Yu and Meng Ruyan had made in the past five days.
Soong Yuanyuan was very satisfied with Meng Ruyan being able to condense the second stage of the Flame Explosion, but she was also a little surprised with Ming Yu.
In the last three days, Ming Yu swallowed fifteen hundred Elemental Condensation Pill. This kind of devouring ability could already be considered very strong, and Soong Yuanyuan could roughly guess, those Elemental Condensation Pill were all gathered in Ming Yu's heart, used to refine his mysterious Body Tempering of Martial Technique.
In short, no matter if it was Meng Ruyan or Ming Yu, Soong Yuanyuan was very satisfied. Whether they could get the Flood Dragon Beast of Desert's egg this time was secondary, on the contrary, the key was to not get eliminated and to slowly grow.
"This is your jade pendant, take it, this is your life saving treasure."
As she said that, Soong Yuanyuan flicked her wrist and two exquisite, milky-white jade pendants flew into Ming Yu's and Meng Ruyan's hands. This jade pendant was made of an extremely special material.
He only needed to crush it to activate the switch. Ten seconds later, the jade pendant would automatically open the spatial crack, tearing the user inside and sending him back to the Modern World.
Ming Yu and Ming Yu immediately nodded and stored it into their storage device.
"In this mission, a total of thirty Great Elder from the next three factions will choose one or two disciples to participate in the competition. That is to say, there will be a maximum of sixty elite disciples to participate in the competition, and of course, the condition is that Great Elder can only choose this year's elite disciples to participate in the competition in advance."
As Soong Yuanyuan spoke, she stepped onto the back of the huge Fire Roc and said, "The missions held by the three lower branches are rather grand to begin with. It's your fortune to be able to enjoy such benefits right after you have just joined the Flame God Sect."
Ming Yu raised his eyebrows. Regardless of whether this was a form of good fortune or not, he could at least seek refuge within the Ancient Desolation Battlefield and escape Faang Lingjun's personal attack.
"Alright, get on your flying beasts and follow me. You guys must also bring your flying beasts into the Ancient Desolation Battlefield." Soong Yuanyuan nodded towards the two of them before she took the lead and steered the flying beasts towards the west side of Fire Cloud Hall.
Moreover, there was a lot of dust, and there were also the remnants of human civilization, the ruins, midway, there were even countless sandstorms assaulting. If there were no flying beasts, it would be extremely difficult for a martial artist to advance.
Although Soong Yuanyuan did not explain, Ming Yu and Meng Ruyan were both smart people. After thinking for a while, they immediately understood. Without any hesitation, they urged the birds to follow Soong Yuanyuan as they flew towards the west side.
Ancient Desolation Battlefield was a foreign world, and the entrance to this foreign world was located in a volcano located five hundred kilometers west of the entire Flame God Sect.
As long as they passed through the barrier at the bottom of the volcano, they would be able to reach the Ancient Desolation Battlefield!
Soong Yuanyuan flew with Ming Yu and the rest for some time. The morning sunlight was gradually blocked by the dark clouds.
Not long after, Ming Yu saw a patch of crimson at the end of his vision.
Only when Ming Yu got closer did he realize that it was obviously the lava that came out from a huge volcano. The lava rolled down in all directions and almost covered the entire mountain, dyeing it red.
The lava flowed over the ores around the volcano, making 'chi chi' sounds from time to time. It even melted those hard ores!
"The barrier of Ancient Desolation Battlefield is actually set up within a volcano?"
Ming Yu looked down at the ground far away below him. His heart couldn't help but tremble.
At this time, Soong Yuanyuan had already quickened her pace to follow them. Ming Yu steered his Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing and dived forward, quickly landing on an open area at the foot of the mountain that was not infected by the lava.
There were already a few people waiting here.
To be exact, they were eight great elders led by Witch and Faang Lingjun, as well as a group of elite disciples. And all of these people belonged to Flame Refinement Clan.
"Have all of our people arrived?"
Soong Yuanyuan leapt down from the Fire Roc's back and asked Witch.
Witch frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Basically, everyone is here, we are just missing Shu Yue."
"Where's Shu Yue?" Soong Yuanyuan was puzzled, she actually didn't come to escort her own disciple at such a critical moment?
Witch said: "I heard from his disciple that he is currently in closed door cultivation."
An elite disciple who belonged to Shu Yue walked out and explained: "Our Master has had some insights in the past few days and have chosen to go into seclusion. She had already told us about the general mission in the Ancient Desolation Battlefield earlier, we will definitely complete it."
"Alright."
If a practitioner had comprehended something, it would be normal for them to undergo closed-door cultivation. Soong Yuanyuan only asked a few symbolic questions, then changed the subject, her tone turning serious, "But why are only people from my Flame Refinement Clan present, and no one from the other two bloodlines appearing yet?"
From the moment they arrived here, Soong Yuanyuan had only seen the people from their Flame Refinement Clan. Almost all of their Flame Refinement Clan s had arrived at the set time, but neither their Flame Fusion Clan s nor Flame Burning Clan s had appeared yet.
"I'm not sure either."
Witch frowned as well, but he could only helplessly say: "Let's wait a little longer. After all, the opening time of the Ancient Desolation Battlefield barrier can't be more than three minutes. There's a one week cooldown period, and if we activate it without waiting for them, they won't be able to enter this time."
The Witch was not wrong, the time limit for the Ancient Desolation Battlefield's barrier to open was limited. Even if they did not want to wait for the Flame Fusion Clan and the people inside, it was also impossible for them to open the barrier on their own accord for this reason.
Otherwise, if the disciples of the other two sects were unable to enter the Ancient Desolation Battlefield, their Great Elder would certainly fall out with them.
"So this is how it is. Are you waiting?"
Soong Yuanyuan's eyes slightly narrowed as she looked towards the Flame God Sect at the end of the dark gray clouds. Her hands couldn't help but tightly clench together.
Not only Soong Yuanyuan, even Ming Yu and the group of elite disciples were upset.
At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that it was someone from the other two bloodlines who was putting on a show to embarrass their Flame Refinement Clan! Otherwise, how could they be late? Furthermore, they were all in the same group. This was too much of a coincidence.
However, they had no choice but to wait here!
Ming Yu sighed. He used to feel that the competition between the three lower meridians was very intense, but he didn't expect that the relationship between the three lower meridians had developed to the point where it was like water and fire.
However, Ming Yu was clear that this was a matter between the Elders of the three lower branches.
If any of them, the Head Elder, were to step forward, one of their fingers would be able to crush Ming Yu into meat paste. Therefore, even if Ming Yu disagreed, he could not change anything.
"Master, calm down. I believe they will be back before long."
Seeing that Soong Yuanyuan's expression was cold and solemn, Ming Yu tried to comfort her, hoping that she wouldn't suffer too much.
Then, everyone stood at the foot of the volcano and waited.
After five minutes, no one showed any signs of coming and the surroundings were completely silent.
Ten minutes passed and fifteen minutes passed, but there was still no one coming. Thirty minutes later, the sky was still dark.
Everyone was starting to get annoyed from waiting, and the three Great Elders were even more so pressured. If it wasn't for the fact that this mission involved the experiences of Flame Refinement Clan disciples, Soong Yuanyuan might have already gone berserk on the spot!
Previously, she purposely rushed the time to bring Ming Yu and Meng Ruyan to the scene in order to arrive on time. This was a rule set by Flame God Sect, and also Soong Yuanyuan thought that the next three meridians should abide by.
In fact, every year, when the higher ups of Flame God Sect had prepared for the elite disciples of the three branches to enter the Ancient Desolation Battlefield to gain experience, the people from Flame Fusion Clan and Flame Burning Clan would arrive late. However, after the agreed time of fifteen minutes, everyone should have arrived.
Soong Yuanyuan had actually long prepared for the other two branches, but she hadn't expected that ever since the aura of the elite disciples of the Flame Refinement Clan had declined, their Flame Fusion Clan and Flame Burning Clan would actually become so arrogant and lawless. Even after half an hour, they still hadn't arrived yet!
"How could this be?"
Even with Ming Yu's temper, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Meng Ruyan, who was at the side, was getting impatient as well. What kind of person could make her wait so long?
Just like this, half an hour passed as everyone waited. In total, about half an hour had passed … Just when everyone was unable to endure it any longer, numerous black dots finally appeared at the edge of the dark grey sky.
It's finally here!
All the people in front of them were heading towards them. Their bodies were emitting a formless and terrifying energy that converged into a sea. They were like a crazy torrent as they stormed towards them. Within a few breaths of time, they landed in front of Ming Yu's group.
"Howl!"
The flying beasts beside everyone flapped their wings on the ground in a violent gust of wind, causing the clothes on everyone in Flame Refinement Clan to flutter and flutter.
Ming Yu focused his eyes towards these people and quickly discovered that among these people, they were clearly divided into two groups. The ones with the most terrifying aura were the Great Elder and behind them were the elite disciples.
The auras of these Great Elder were especially terrifying; they were all divine beings that had gathered together of the Five Viscera Divine Pills, and exceeded the fifth level of the Core Controlling Stage. This was something Ming Yu was not surprised about.
However, even under the pressure of the Great Elder's violent aura, Ming Yu could still feel that there were a few people hiding behind him, which was very eye-catching!
There were a total of twelve people, and each one of them had reached at least the peak of the second stage of Core Controlling Stage!
Among the twelve people, Ming Yu discovered that five of them already possessed three divine pellets, which meant that all five of them had reached the third level of Core Controlling Stage!
The leader was a tall and sturdy man dressed in a white suit with silver stripes. His skin was the color of wheat. Although he didn't look very handsome, his eyes were filled with a cold light. He gave off an extremely calm and sharp feeling!
Ming Yu could clearly feel that this person's strength had already reached the peak of the third stage of Core Controlling Stage, which was the peak of the third stage of Core Controlling Stage!
Amongst this group of disciples from the Flame Refinement Clan, there were already a few who recognized his identity. That's right, he was this year's strongest new king among the's three meridians: Ouyang Daoyu!
Having entered the Flame Refinement Clan half a year ago, with the strength of the second stage of the Core Controlling Stage, after half a year, he had actually directly reached the first stage of the Core Controlling Stage!
Although many people had never seen Ouyang Daoyu's appearance before, when they felt Ouyang Daoyu's Peak of Third Layer's aura, they immediately recognized him.
And on Ouyang Daoyu's left side, within the Flame Burning Clan, there was another person that was exceptionally eye-catching.
His lips were pursed slightly, and the corners of his lips slightly raised in an evil aura, instantly killing countless girls on the spot. His cultivation at the third level of the Core Controlling Stage had even more clearly displayed his formidable strength and demeanor!
Speaking of which, although his skin was a bit white, his facial features … It was similar to Ouyang Daoyu.
All of this was because Su Yirann was Ouyang Daoyu's half-brother.
Su Yirann was born with the surname 'Ouyang', but because of the birth of a concubine, he was not treated well. Soon after, his mother and father separated, and Su Yirann followed his mother's surname.
Ouyang Daoyu, as the elder brother, was naturally talented and could take charge of himself in all aspects. Although Su Yirann had a good relationship with his brother, he was still unconvinced secretly. Although he had been inferior to Ouyang Daoyu all these years, he still pursued him relentlessly.
Because of this, the two of them came to Flame God Sect together, but Su Yirann chose not to share the same bloodline with Ouyang Daoyu, in order to compare heaven and earth.
Su Yirann's character had always been arrogant and carefree. However, his talent was outstanding and his looks were extremely high. It could be said that his strengths had completely overshadowed his shortcomings.
Ouyang Daoyu was also a bit helpless. He had always maintained his brother's tolerance and understanding towards his brother's sexual behavior and protected Su Yirann.
At this time, Su Yirann's gaze swept across the Flame Refinement Clan disciples a bit fiercely, and very quickly noticed Meng Ruyan, who was dressed in red clothes and stood out amongst the crowd, a peculiar luster instantly flashed in her eyes.
Meng Ruyan felt Su Yirann's gaze and also looked towards him. Their gazes clashed at this moment.
Meng Ruyan couldn't help but be stunned. She could clearly feel the powerful aura on Su Yirann's body. That was an aura that she had never possessed before! Su Yirann was a handsome man. When he looked at her, Meng Ruyan felt her heart beat faster.
Half of the complaints they had been waiting for had disappeared. Meng Ruyan could not help but be attracted by Su Yirann's mysterious temperament.
