Chapter 197: The potential of Mei San Niang

"As the inner clan descendants of the Eight Great Families, you should have heard some rumors."
More than a hundred years ago, the former lord of the Fulong City led the strong ones from the eight major clans and suffered heavy casualties while annihilating the Yanmo City.
In the end, when the city was breached, the High Priest of the Demon Nation used the Art of Desolation, sacrificing all the precious jewels including burning the jade stones. As a result, the World-Purifying Demon Lotus was summoned.
The former lord of the city led everyone to hastily retreat from the Flame Demon Castle in order to avoid the pure world demonic lotus.
Many skeletal remains of powerful human martial arts masters were left behind in the ruins of the city, and there was no time to retrieve them...
"The Pure World Demon Lotus emerged, and the entire Flame Demon Castle disappeared into nothingness."
"Thinking that after hundreds of years, these grandmaster's remains would have long been buried by the yellow sand, difficult to see the light of day."
"Never would have imagined, in these years, the Demon Kingdom secretly sent people to infiltrate the Flame Demon Castle and collected these grandmaster's remains."
To refine it into a demon puppet..."
With his eyes rolling white, Wu Zijing tightly pressed the demon child's head with one hand, reading the memories in the demon child's mind.
As he spoke, cold sweat was already streaming down his forehead.
Obviously I was shocked by the scene I saw...
"Using the remains of a master as material to forge a demonic puppet! Such wicked means, truly befitting of the Demon Kingdom..."
"What should we do? Should we go on this mission or not!"
Upon hearing this, the descendants of the eight powerful families instantly felt fearful and began to hesitate.
The puppets crafted from the remains of the master martial artists and formidable experts are not something ordinary people can compare with.
Entering the Castle of Flames this time is a sure death, isn't it?
For a moment, people's hearts were uncertain.
"I never expected such an evil plot inside!"
Li Tianran was also taken aback.
The situation is much more severe than he imagined.
"A great disaster is imminent! As descendants of the Fulong City, how can we stand idly by and shrink back in fear?
That magic puppet should not have been successfully refined yet.
The order from the Lord's Mansion this time is for us to destroy the Demon Kingdom's plan, in order to prevent the entire Fulong City from being slaughtered.
This is an order, we cannot disobey!
At this critical moment, Zhao Mengchang stood up, his eyes shining, and with a big wave of his hand, he showed the heroic spirit.
"A puppet refined by the master's skeletal remains is still not a master! What is there to fear?"
"Those who have the courage, follow me, the Zhao family, to venture into that demonic cave and let those disciples of demons witness the abilities of the descendants of Fulong City."
No guts, that's all it is...
Zhao Mengchang glanced at everyone, his voice thundering.
It has to be said that there is indeed some leadership style.
In just a few words, he has impressed everyone.
"It's just a mere puppet, what is there to be afraid of?"
"My Qian family is fearless..."
"My Li family is also fearless..."
"The Zhou family is also fearless..."
……
Although well aware of the dangers ahead, none of the descendants of the Eight Great Families are willing to show any fear at this moment.
Compared to life and death, the honor of the clan is more important than anything else.
"Very well, since that's the case, let us quickly send a message and inform our respective clans, as well as the lord's mansion, requesting reinforcements.
Then they joined forces to explore the Demon Fire City.
If we really encounter the Master Demon Puppet and are unable to match its strength, we will not cling to the battle..."
Zhao Mengchang immediately expressed his plan upon seeing everyone's stance.
也算是有勇有谋，进退有据。
众人尽皆信服。
打扫了一下战场，将伤亡的同族就此匆匆掩埋。
八大世家的众人，浩浩荡荡，直扑炎魔城。
After experiencing this ambush, the descendants of the Eight Great Families lost their previous confidence.
They all became cautious and careful.
The enmity between them was also temporarily set aside.
After all, in the face of the catastrophe of the Demon Kingdom, all private grudges are insignificant.
……
We have traveled all the way, covered in dust and dirt!
Accompanied by the morning sunlight, gradually shining into every corner of the world.
The group finally arrived at the ruined ruins of the Flame Demon Castle.
From the broken tall city wall, and the magnificent buildings that can still be vaguely seen in the city, it is not difficult to imagine the former grandeur and glory of this magic city.
From the collapsed walls and ruins all over the ground, one can still see the fierceness of the battle that took place over a hundred years ago.
However, everything is always washed away by rain and blown away by the wind.
Heaven and earth, time is always merciless.
Now, this Demon City is not just a spectacular ruin.
It's just that, in the midst of this ruin, there is a rolling crimson mist, obscuring people's vision.
Li Tianran and the Wang siblings met again.
After a series of killings, the two siblings were covered in blood on their light armor.
On Wang Ruoxuan's immature face, there was also a hint of maturity.
Life and death slaughter, the most rigorous training of a person's character.
"Brother Li, when we enter the city later, if anything unexpected happens, please protect my sister..."
Wang Ruoxuan, this young man, has unusually shown politeness towards Li Tianran, unlike his initial arrogance.
Li Tianran witnessed the killing of the giant spirit demon and the methods of the thieving enchantress along the way, gradually letting go of his prejudices.
He became a little more convinced of Li Tianran.
"Don't worry, we will all be fine!"
李天然点点头，这小子虽然有些愣，但对王若微的情义，却叫人动容。
他眯着眼睛，远远地望向城中。
只见偌大的炎魔城里，一片死寂，除了翻翻滚滚的血色雾气，和一眼望不到头的魔国诡异建筑，
You can't even see a trace of a wizard apprentice.
But the quieter it is, the more unusual it becomes.
Buzz!
The Zhu Yan bloodline in his body has already sensed the endless aura of ferocity rushing toward him, causing constant trembling.
……
"Brother Zijin, please show us the way..."
Zhao Mengcheng squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, not immediately leading the group into the city, but politely asking to meet with Wu Zijing from the Wu family.
Wu Zijing pushed his way to the front of the crowd.
The people of the Wu family are proficient in secret arts. Among these arts, besides the ability to read minds, there are also various methods of divination and astrology.
Sending Wu Zijing to scout ahead would be the most appropriate choice.
"Mengxiang, we must not venture forth before the reinforcements from the city lord's mansion arrive!
I have peeked into the heavens and sensed endless bloodlust...
Those sorcerers should continue refining magic puppets, we must stop them.
The direction is here...
Wu Zijing stood at the entrance of the ruined giant city, with a pale and frightened look on his thin and handsome face. He pinched his fingers and rolled his eyes, appearing to sense something.
After saying that, he pointed a finger in the direction of a dilapidated temple in the northwest of the city.
"This is the Blood Eagle Temple of the Demon Kingdom!"
"The others are waiting here. Those who are brave enough can join me in exploring it..."
Zhao Mengchang tightened the heavy sword in his hand and shouted vigorously.
Immediately, he received a response from many people.
Li Tianran was naturally happy to join in the fun.
Wang Ruowei was also very enthusiastic.
Wang Ruoxuan tried to dissuade, but he couldn't persuade his own sister, so he had to follow her.
In this way, among the eight major families, a team of more than sixty elite forces was selected, intending to explore this temple under the guidance of Wu Zijing...
Wu Zijing squeezed his hands and recited the spell, took three steps and stopped, and took the lead to enter the blood mist.
Others followed closely.
Li Tianran took the opportunity to look at Wu Zijing's panel.
