Chapter 414 Wildfire [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
Yungong Mountain has many peaks, and the fire was only on one of them. However, if the fire continued to spread so quickly, it would not take long to cover the entire mountain, and it might even affect the nearby Yunlu City.
The fire was blazing, and as soon as you got close you could feel that besides the smell of fire and smoke, the strongest smell was a lingering evil aura.
Liang Yue leaped into the sea of fire and crouched on a charred tree branch. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he saw several figures running around.
These figures are shaped like red-gold macaques. They are not tall and have no hair. Their bodies are made of condensed red-gold flames. Whenever they walk by, they will stir up large waves of fire. When they open their mouths and blow, large tracts of forests will be engulfed in flames.
Fire demon!
Liang Yue recognized the monster at a glance.
The so-called fire demon does not necessarily have a fixed shape, but refers to the kind of weird creatures born in fire.
It is extremely difficult to produce wild fire monsters, because no matter what kind of fire it is, no matter how strong its spirituality is, it is difficult to burn for thousands or even millions of years, and there are no conditions for the generation of spiritual intelligence.
However, there are fire cultivators who specialize in refining spiritual fire and nurturing its intelligence. They raise this kind of fire monster and use it to kill people and set fires for them. It is much more efficient than pure "dead fire".
For example, if you set a fire on the top of this peak, if you simply release the spiritual fire to burn it, it will definitely not burn so quickly.
However, these dozens of fire monsters were sent to run wildly all over the mountain, but in the blink of an eye, the fire had engulfed the mountaintop.
"I feel the breath of this fire demon is somewhat familiar." Liang Yue said to himself.
The aura of the fire demon that I felt in the Wei family compound during the day seemed to be exactly the same as it is now, the only difference was the strength.
The fire monsters nurtured by the same kind of spiritual fire will have similar auras, so it is easy to identify them.
There seemed to be a large garden in the sea of fire. It was a villa of some rich and powerful person in the mountains. It covered a vast area and looked very luxurious. However, the whole garden was burned by the flames and turned into black.
There was no sound from inside, and it seemed that there was no living person inside.
At this time, all the fire monsters in the mountain should have completed their mission and began to gather in the same direction. Liang Yue then quietly followed them and started his second stalking trip tonight.
It happened so quickly that in fact, from the appearance of the first red light to the joining of the fire demon in the blazing mountain, it only took a moment.
If Liang Yue and his crew hadn't just happened to be on a boat at the foot of the mountain, they definitely wouldn't have been able to get here so quickly. If there were any cultivators in Yunlu City who came to put out the fire, they certainly wouldn't have been able to do it so quickly. The arsonist had planned very accurately, and he could leave calmly after setting the mountain fire.
The fire demon returned to a hillside outside the garden and saw two figures standing on the top of the hill.
One of them was an old man wearing a brown robe with python patterns. He had thick hair and beard, stern brows and eyes, and an aura of majesty without even being angry.
The person standing next to him was none other than Wei Zhong, the steward of the Wei Mansion.
Wei Zhong's cultivation should be at the fifth or sixth realm, so he would not be able to discover Liang Yue for the time being. However, the old man's cultivation was so deep that Liang Yue did not dare to go forward and could only watch secretly from a distance.
The fire monsters came closer one by one, and the old man took out a red bottle and took them back one by one.
Wei Zhong stood aside respectfully and said, "Thanks to Master's help, those Righteous Fire Cultists didn't dare to resist at all."
“Heh.” The old man snorted coldly, “It’s just the Evil Fire Heretic. If they hadn’t taken it away… Humph, anyway, I’m here to take care of it, so you can let the Patriarch rest assured.”
"With our Master here, there's nothing to worry about with the Yihuo Sect." Wei Zhong complimented again.
After collecting all the released fire monsters, the two turned around and flew away on the wind.
It turned out that the fire was set by someone from the Wei family, and it seemed to be related to the Yihuo Cult.
It seems that this old man was specially invited to deal with the Yihuo Sect?
What kind of grudge do the Wei family have with the Yihuo Cult? It must not just be because they didn't give them face when they gave gifts during the day, right?
Liang Yue was thinking when he suddenly heard a majestic shout above his head, "Who are you, the villain, spying here?" The surrounding flames suddenly condensed and turned into a big hand, grabbing towards Liang Yue!
It was discovered!
Liang Yue was aware that he had not revealed any aura, and after a little thought, he thought that perhaps the whole mountain was filled with spiritual fire refined by the old man, and the flames could serve as his magic weapon for hearing and seeing.
Even though there was a strong pressure above him, he remained calm and withdrew his body, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Only because of the protection of the fairy vine did he dare to approach so boldly.
After he became a ethereal being, he flew outwards into the sky at a very fast speed. But even though the old man couldn't attack him, he seemed to be able to sense his position, and his flaming hand was always following closely behind him.
call--
Just as Liang Yue was fleeing, there was a sudden burst of light in front of him, and a colorful streak passed by him and went towards the flaming palm.
Boom!
The two collided, and a ball of dazzling light exploded instantly.
Hu Delu's figure pushed aside the flames and soared into the sky. "Grandmaster-level fire cultivators are rare in this world. I wonder who you are? Do you dare to tell me your name?"

As soon as Lao Hu made a move, the old man opposite him stopped being arrogant and said nothing. He must have been afraid that he would be recognized by him, so he disappeared into the world in an instant.
"Ha." Hu Delu stood with his arms folded and sneered, "He's just a petty arsonist who doesn't even dare to show his face."
"Mr. Hu, you are so impressive."
"Mr. Hu has great tricks!"
The prince and Chen Ju rushed out from the side and flattered Hu Delu without reservation, perfectly fulfilling their duty of cursing "six six six" after hugging his thigh.
At this moment he can no longer be called the third brother. Playing and making noises are all possible, but the cultivation level of a first-rank priest in the imperial city is definitely not to be underestimated.
"Thank you, Mr. Hu, for your help." Liang Yue also showed up and expressed his gratitude.
"It was the prince who came here to help you, and I was just following his orders." Hu Delu said with a smile.
Just as he was about to say something else, he felt a gust of wind coming from the sky, carrying an icy spiritual breath. Wherever it swept, the flames disappeared.
"Another expert has taken action." Hu Delu turned and looked in the direction of Yunlu City.
A huge formation descended from the sky, covering the entire Yungong Mountain. The mountain fire could no longer spread outward, and the cold inside became increasingly intense.
A loud shout like the humming of a bell came from above: "No one in Yungong Mountain is allowed to move, wait for the imperial court to rescue! In just a moment, the mountain fire will naturally dissipate. If you move around casually again, you will be regarded as an arson suspect and will be killed on the spot!"
This shout carries the might of heaven, and anyone who hears it would really dare not move again.
The troops from Yunlu City arrived very quickly, and Liang Yue immediately understood that the old man who set the fire might not be afraid of Hu Delu. He was probably mainly afraid that if he was a step slower, he might be caught by the large formation that Yunlu City had sent.
It will be difficult to get out then.
However, they were not arsonists and were not worried about being seen, so they just stayed where they were and waited for the imperial troops to arrive.
Soon, a group of soldiers surrounded the mountain, and the soldiers shouted, "Search the mountain to see if there are any survivors! Bring them all back!"
