The evil woman cultivates immortality, and the whole clan offers sacrifice to the heaven

Hong Bo knew that what Shen Zixuan said made sense, but he also knew that continuing to explore in depth would mean taking greater risks.

He is a casual cultivator, without any sect or school. He relied on himself to work hard step by step, and it was not easy for him to cultivate to this level today.

If I lose my life like this, it would be totally not worth it.

Just when Hong Bo was silent, Old Man Qian spoke.

"Brother Shen," Old Man Qian turned to Shen Zixuan with a flattering smile on his face.

"It's not that I'm timid, it's just that this Liuguang Lake is too dangerous! You don't know, I once heard an elder say..."

Old Man Qian's tone was mysterious, as if he was about to tell a horror story, and he deliberately lowered his voice.

“That Liuguang Lake would emit a strange red light every full-moon night, because there lives a bloodthirsty red flame dragon at the bottom of the lake!

The red flame dragon was huge, with scales harder than steel, and the flames it spewed from its mouth could burn a person to ashes in an instant!

There was once a team of powerful monks who refused to believe in evil and insisted on crossing the lake, but…"

He paused deliberately, observing Shen Zixuan's reaction.

Meng Wan beside him turned pale with fear, but Shen Zixuan remained unmoved. He just asked calmly, "What was the result?"

"The result," Old Man Qian swallowed and said in a low voice.

"In the end, they were completely wiped out, not even a bone was left!"

After hearing this, Shen Zixuan just smiled and said.

"Fellow Daoist Qian is overthinking. As long as we are careful, we won't run into that Scarlet Flame Dragon."

Old Man Qian wanted to persuade him again, but was pulled aside by Hong Bo.

"Brother Shen has made up his mind. It's useless for us to persuade him."

Hong Bo said with an unpleasant expression, "Let's think about how to get back."

Old Man Qian sighed and said helplessly, "It can only be like this. Money is hard to earn these days, and life is more important!"

Hong Bo nodded, walked up to Shen Zixuan and bowed.

"Brother Shen, I have discussed this with Elder Qian, and we have decided to return to the outskirts to rest for a while. What do you think..."

Shen Zixuan understood Hong Bo's meaning and said it readily without forcing him.

"In that case, let's say goodbye now and see you later."

Hong Bo and Old Man Qian felt relieved. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Shen Zixuan and others, they walked back in the direction they came from without looking back.

Watching the two people leave, Shen Zixuan patted Meng Wan's shoulder soothingly.

"Don't be afraid, it's not as dangerous as he said. Since they won't go, the three of us will go."

Shen Zihan stretched her body and said, "I should have gotten rid of these people long ago. Following this group of casual cultivators will only bring trouble!"

Meng Wan nodded obediently, but she had a premonition in her heart.

Hong Bo and Old Man Qian might come back soon...

The three of them kept getting closer to Liuguang Lake. The closer they got, the more they could appreciate the beauty of the lake.

It is like a huge piece of jade, inlaid on the earth.

"so beautiful."

Meng Wan couldn't help but admire.

Shen Zihan rolled her eyes. What an idiot! The more beautiful a place is, the greater the danger it often hides.

This Liuguang Lake is definitely not as calm and peaceful as it appears on the surface.

"Be careful."

Shen Zixuan reminded Meng Wan in a low voice, "This Liuguang Lake may seem calm, but it is actually full of undercurrents. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."

When Meng Wan heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She calmed down and carefully followed Shen Zixuan towards the lake.

Just as the three of them approached the lake, something strange happened!

Without warning, a huge wave suddenly rose up on the calm lake surface, and the surging wall of water roared towards the three people.

Shen Zixuan reacted very quickly. He opened the folding fan that had been secretly held in his left hand with a "swish". He poured spiritual power into it and fanned out a strong gust of wind that barely broke the waves.

Water splashed everywhere, soaking the three of them.

"Brother Zixuan, what's going on?"

Meng Wan was filled with fear. If Shen Zixuan had not acted in time, she would have been swept into the lake by the huge waves.

Shen Zixuan's face was solemn, his eyes swept across the turbulent lake, and he said in a deep voice.

"It seems that this Flowing Light Lake is more dangerous than the rumors say."

Shen Zihan was also frightened. She steadied herself and glanced around sharply, trying to find the source of the unusual movement.

"Brother, be careful!"

Shen Zihan suddenly gave a reminder, and at the same time, she quickly made hand gestures, and a stream of spiritual power shot out and hit a reef not far behind Shen Zixuan.

With a "bang", the reef shattered and a black shadow jumped out from the rubble and rushed straight to Shen Zixuan's face.

Shen Zixuan was prepared and dodged the attack from the black shadow by leaning sideways. He swung the magic sword in his right hand and a sharp sword energy went straight to the black shadow's vital point.

The black shadow let out a sharp scream, and quickly retreated, disappearing into the surging waves.

"What is it?"

Meng Wan was still in shock and grabbed Shen Zixuan's sleeve tightly.

Shen Zixuan shook his head, staring at the lake, and said in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but what is certain is that there are definitely no good people in this Liuguang Lake."

Shen Zihan nodded solemnly. The black shadow just now was extremely fast and had a cold aura. It was definitely not an ordinary aquatic creature.

"Brother Zixuan, what should we do now?" Meng Wan asked anxiously.

Shen Zixuan pondered for a moment and looked up at the sky.

"It's getting late, so we shouldn't continue moving forward. Let's rest here for a night and get enough rest so that we can cross Liuguang Lake early tomorrow morning."

Meng Wan looked around. Apart from the rocky lakeshore, there was only the endless Flowing Lake. She looked increasingly uneasy.

"Is it right here? Isn't it too close to the water monster? What if they come out in the middle of the night and attack us?"

"It doesn't matter. I can't do anything to the monster hiding in the water. If it runs to the shore, can't I cure it?"

Shen Zixuan patted Meng Wan's shoulder to comfort her, then looked at Shen Zihan, as if waiting for something.

Shen Zihan curled her lips reluctantly, took out a delicate and small wooden house from the storage bag, and gently placed it on the ground.

The wooden house swelled with the wind and instantly became a spacious and comfortable residence.

Zhang Wan'er is really lucky!

Shen Zihan quickly adjusted her mentality and walked into the wooden house. Her tense expression finally relaxed.

"I was really exhausted on this journey. I didn't get a good rest."

As Shen Zihan spoke, her delicate little face was full of complaints.

"I told you long ago that I would not team up with that group of poor cultivators. Really, they made me sleep outside for so long, wasting such a good thing..."

Shen Zixuan shook his head helplessly. This girl is really...

Meng Wan looked at the cabin in front of her in surprise, and then looked at Shen Zixuan, as if asking for his opinion.

Shen Zixuan made a "please" gesture to Meng Wan, "Sister Wan'er, I'm sorry for having troubled you along the way. Please come in."

After getting the nod, Meng Wan stepped into the wooden house with excitement.

Although the interior space of the wooden house is not large, it is decorated very elegantly.

There is a low table, a few cushions, and a pot of blooming spiritual herbs in the corner, emitting a faint fragrance.

Shen Zihan walked to the low table and waved her slender hand. A set of exquisite tea sets appeared on the table. She then took out a pot of spiritual tea from the storage bag and began to brew it with skillful movements.

"Sister Wan'er, please sit down."

Shen Zixuan invited Meng Wan to sit down next to the low table. "Although this wooden house is a bit simple, it has all kinds of protective and warning formations. I hope Sister Wan'er will not dislike it."

"Brother Zixuan, you are too polite. When you go out, it's good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. How dare I despise it?"
