"Is that the Thunderfire Secret Cave up ahead?" Xing Chen pointed to a dimly lit secret cave entrance in the mountain wall. The entrance was covered with many purplish-red vines, making it hard to spot unless one had sharp eyesight like Xing Chen.
"The vines are purplish-red, clearly having absorbed some Thunderfire Power, which caused their mutation. It seems this is indeed the place," Meng Xiner said as she approached and took a closer look, nodding in agreement.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly echoed from behind them. Other individuals who had come to the Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain Inheritance site had evidently found this location as well.
"Lin Fei?" Upon recognizing the newcomers, Xing Chen was slightly taken aback. These people were from the Radiant City Lin family, and Lin Fei was among them.
Initially, Xing Chen thought these individuals were unaware of the location of the Thunderfire Deity's Legacy, but it turned out that all these factions knew about it. Their bidding for that map was merely to obtain more detailed information.
"It's you..." Lin Fei also recognized Xing Chen at this moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes upon realizing that Xing Chen had made it here as well.
"Fei'er, do you know him?" A middle-aged man glanced at Xing Chen and spoke up.
This man was none other than Lin Yuan, the current head of the Radiant City Lin family, whose cultivation level reached Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm.
Lin Fei quickly whispered a few words into Lin Yuan's ear, after which Lin Yuan said, "In that case, let's all enter the Thunderfire Secret Cave together!"
Xing Chen discreetly glanced at Meng Xiner, and seeing that she had no objections, he agreed.
The reason Meng Xiner consented was due to her lack of understanding of the Thunderfire Secret Cave. Entering recklessly could lead to danger, so now that someone was willing to scout ahead, she had no issues with it.
"The Lin Family Head arrived quite early; you even got here before us," another group approached, with their leader addressing Lin Yuan.
The person in question is Bai Jia, the head of the Bai Family in Radiant City, whose strength has also reached the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm. Although both families hail from Radiant City, their relationship is not very good. At this moment, as they encounter each other, what will happen is known only to Lin Yuan and Bai Jia.
"Hehe, there's no need for such formalities, Bai Family Head. We just arrived as well. How about we all go in together?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.
At this time, since they had yet to see the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance, it was not easy for conflicts to arise. Both families understood this point, so they maintained a tacit understanding.
"What Lin Family Head said is exactly what I was thinking. However, I find these vines blocking the entrance quite unusual!" Bai Jia's sharp gaze fell on the Purple-Red Vines.
"Indeed, these vines seem to have absorbed some of the power left behind by the Thunderfire Deity and mutated," Lin Yuan replied, his eyes equally sharp as he looked at the Purple-Red Vines. "Originally, plants are afraid of fire, but these vines themselves contain a thunder-fire aura, completely overturning the rules of nature. These vines should not exist in this world."
"Lin Family Head, then who among us should take action to destroy these Thunderfire Demon Vines?" Bai Jia asked with a smile as he looked at Lin Yuan.
"Hehe, leave this matter to me," Lin Yuan said with a smile as well. Then, a massive azure wind vortex erupted from his palm, instantly enveloping an area of several dozen meters.
Earth-Level Martial Arts—Azure Wind Whirlwind!
As Lin Yuan slapped his palm forward, the enormous azure wind vortex immediately struck down upon the Thunderfire Demon Vines.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud vibrations echoed out as stones flew from the entrance; however, the Thunderfire Demon Vines remained unharmed. Lin Yuan's attack not only failed to inflict any damage but instead provoked their ferocity, causing the Thunderfire Demon Vines to become wildly aggressive.
From within the Thunderfire Secret Cave, countless tentacles of the Thunderfire Demon Vines stretched out incessantly, quickly covering an area of several miles. Not only did they completely envelop the Thunderfire Secret Cave, but the mountaintop was also filled with their tentacles.
"Ah, what kind of monster is this?" everyone couldn't help but exclaim in shock as they watched countless tentacles surge upward, causing them all to instinctively retreat.
Meanwhile, Bai Jia and Lin Yuan's expressions were extremely serious. With such a massive creature, even for the two of them, who were Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm experts, it was uncertain whether even a Yang Spirit Realm expert could handle it.
"Damn it, this time we might be in trouble. No wonder no one has been able to enter the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance land all these years; it's all because of this Demonic Vine," Bai Jia cursed as he stepped back.
"Hey, do you have any ideas?" Xing Chen looked at Meng Xiner, wondering if she could use poison to eliminate this Thunderfire Demon Vine!
"Don't even think about it. My poison is powerful, but against a Demonic Vine that is so large and has roots spread throughout the entire mountain, it wouldn't have any effect at all. Even if you brought tons of poison, it might not work on it," Meng Xiner rolled her eyes. If the Thunderfire Demon Vine were slightly smaller, she might have been able to deal with it using poison, but facing such a gigantic Thunderfire Demon Vine left her with no solutions.
"Then it seems we are destined to be unable to access the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance. If we can't even get through the entrance, how can we find the Inheritance?" Xing Chen said with his hands raised in frustration.
"There must be a way to get in. Didn't the Zhi Family manage to enter before? Moreover, they even obtained the Thunderfire Divine Blade, an Earth Grade Divine Weapon from there," Meng Xiner replied.
"Hurry, Brother Bai, let's work together and destroy a few of the Demonic Vine tentacles near the secret cave first. That way we can enter the secret cave," Lin Yuan said to Bai Jia beside him. Without waiting for Bai Jia's response, he took action first.
Earth-Level Martial Arts—Hurricane Slash!
Lin Yuan slashed with one hand, sending several enormous azure wind blades slicing toward the nearby Demonic Vine tentacles around the Thunderfire Secret Cave.
At the same time, Bai Jia also unleashed Earth-Level Martial Arts—Howling Fist—striking fiercely at the Demonic Vine tentacles.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a few loud bangs, several Purple-Red Vines in front of the secret cave were severed, but more Demonic Vines appeared in front of the cave. From a distance, it looked like a sea of purple-red vines, countless purple tendrils twisting wildly in the air, occasionally bursting forth with a surge of Thunderfire Power.
"This is not good; these Demonic Vines are too terrifying to be dealt with by mere mortals." Bai Jia and Lin Yuan both retreated simultaneously, fear evident in their eyes.
To annihilate these Demonic Vines in one go, it would require at least a strong expert from the Yang Spirit Realm. If there were an Earth Grade Divine Weapon, even someone from the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm could barely carve out a path to the secret cave.
"Damn it, I refuse to believe we can't get into the Thunderfire Secret Cave." Bai Jia cursed loudly, then produced a black spherical object from his hand, which was the Thunderfire Bomb of the Yang Kingdom Royal Family.
Bai Jia hurled the Thunderfire Bomb, and with a loud explosion, a gap was instantly blown open at the entrance filled with Demonic Vines. Countless vines were shattered and wilted, oozing purple-red slime that emitted a disgusting odor.
Although the Thunderfire Bomb destroyed many Thunderfire Demon Vines and created a passage to the secret cave, no one dared to take a step forward. The purple-red slime that flowed from the shattered Thunderfire Demon Vines radiated an intense heat; even a Soul Realm Expert would likely meet a grim fate if touched by this slime. Thus, no one moved forward.
"This is even worse; the road to the secret cave is completely sealed off, and we are surrounded by Demonic Vines. It seems escaping will be difficult!" Xing Chen glanced around and rolled his eyes.
"Try using your Ninefold Thunder Palm," Meng Xiner suddenly turned her head and said to Xing Chen.
She suddenly recalled the phrase "Thunderfire Clash" and "Inheritance." If these Demonic Vines were indeed fire-based, then perhaps they needed to be attacked with lightning attribute Martial Arts to enter the Inheritance?
"No way; just because you have a problem doesn't mean I do. If I really use Ninefold Thunder Palm here, I might not be able to get out," Xing Chen flatly refused without hesitation.
The Ninefold Thunder Palm is one of Yun Qing's signature techniques. If he used it in public, it wouldn't be hard to guess his relationship with Yun Qing. Once his identity was exposed, he would undoubtedly face relentless pursuit in Sword Kingdom.
"Why did these Demonic Vines suddenly go berserk? It turns out it was your two families' doing." At that moment, more than ten people arrived here, led by someone exuding an air of nobility and possessing Soul Realm Pinnacle cultivation. This person was Xun Yuhuan, the prince of the Sword Kingdom Royal Family.
“Xun Yuhuan, you arrived just in time. On the map you took, is there any way to deal with this Demonic Vine?” Upon seeing Xun Yuhuan arrive, the Two Clan Leaders showed a hint of joy on their faces.
“Hmph!” Xun Yuhuan snorted coldly. Although he was somewhat displeased about others competing with his royal family for the Inheritance, he knew it was unavoidable, so he could only express his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.
“Is this Crown Prince reliable?” Xing Chen nudged Meng Xiner beside him. He had doubts about this Crown Prince's abilities; after all, the Sword Kingdom Royal Family was so diminished, what good methods could they have?
“Although the royal family is indeed very weak, they are still quite reliable in their actions. Xun Yuhuan should have a way, right?” Meng Xiner glanced at Xing Chen and said lightly.
Xun Yuhuan looked at the Thunderfire Demon Vine, a cold light flashing in his eyes. The slime that had been blasted out by the Thunderfire Demon Vine had almost dissipated, and as he gazed at the secret cave once again filled with Demonic Vine tentacles, he brushed his fingers lightly over his Storage Ring, and a chilling long sword appeared in his hand.
This was the Earth Grade Divine Weapon—Ice Emperor's Sword, the royal family's first Divine Weapon.
Holding the Ice Emperor's Sword, Xun Yuhuan slashed forward with one stroke, and a pale blue sword energy instantly shot out from the sword, cutting towards the Demonic Vine.
