Chapter 209   Spirit Spring Water

Mu Yan's eyes flickered, and a similarly unconcealable look of excitement emerged on her beautiful face. On the other hand, Gu Ying had come by once before, so her expression could be considered calm. However, Xiao Budian and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse couldn't help but stick out their heads and look around curiously.

Even Feng Ming laid his head out on Mu Yan's shoulder, his eyes shining brightly.

"Be careful now, vengeful spirits can appear at any time."

Gu Ying leaned close to Tang Huan's ear and whispered.

Last time when he and Long Heng came to the True Fire Pool, the surroundings were completely calm. However, when the two of them were preparing to leave, twenty-odd vengeful spirits suddenly appeared in the surroundings.

Tang Huan nodded, he took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Let's go!"

With a low growl, Tang Huan took the long spear in his hands and shot forward like lightning. On the spear, it was still shiny. Tang Huan did not hide it, the vengeful spirits were not like the humans who could only rely on their eyes to see; they relied on their senses to judge the existence of living beings.

Mu Yan and Gu Ying followed closely behind, as three figures quickly dashed forward.

In just a moment, the three of them had traversed hundreds of meters of space and arrived in front of the round altar.

Even though it was extremely close to the "True Fire Pool", she could not feel the slightest bit of heat. The round altar seemed to be able to return the heat emitted by the flames to the sucking.

The three of them did not walk up to the round altar. Instead, they walked around in a circle and directly arrived at the back of the round altar.

The round altar was a few hundred meters further on. It was dark and devoid of any light. Although it was quiet, it made one's heart tighten involuntarily.

The Sword Crafting Valley looked like a huge beast that was about to swallow a human. It opened its bloody mouth and waited for the arrival of the prey, and the True Fire Pond was like a bait placed on the mouth of the huge beast. If anyone approached, they could be engulfed at any time by the huge beast due to the temptation.

Now that he was standing next to the bait, he could feel an immense pressure from it.

Even with the "Soul Devouring Pearl" present, Gu Ying, who had previously been besieged by the vengeful spirit, still could not help but become a little nervous. A pair of bell-like eyes stared closely at the pitch-black surroundings, and sweat actually seeped out from the palms of his hands that held the fiery red greatsword.

Mu Yan's back was also facing the circular altar, and her two eyes continuously scanned her surroundings. At this time, not only did she have the "Soul Devouring Pearl" in her left hand, the red ribbon in her right hand had already appeared slightly.

Behind the two of them, Tang Huan had already put down her spear.

On the smooth, round wall of the altar opposite him, which was about three feet in diameter, fine and complex lines seemed to be about to appear. In the center of this small area, there was a shallow sword-shaped groove.

"Here it is."

Without any hesitation, Tang Huan placed the first "Fire Spirit Sword Key" that he had gripped a long time ago into a groove.

The two key were of the same shape, but the patterns on them had a very clear difference.

If there was only one sword key, they might not be able to discover anything, but if two were placed together, it was very easy to tell because if one were to carefully distinguish the lines on each sword key, they would be able to determine that it was a flamboyant character. The first was the word "Fire", the second was the word "Spirit".

The second key obviously couldn't open the first seal.

Conversely, it was still the same.magic

It was obvious that Long Heng did not know anything about this matter and his family's Lord s had probably never told him about it.

Otherwise, he would not have stolen the second 'Fire Spirit Sword Key' and tried to come to the Sword Crafting Valley to test it, and not only did he lose his life, he had even obtained a treasure like the 'Fire Spirit Sword Key'. If the elders of his family were to know about this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

"Buzz!"

The moment the "Fire Spirit Sword Key" was placed into the groove, the sword key and the surrounding lines on the round altar seemed to have come alive. They rapidly connected, and in the next moment, a dazzling red light exploded out.

The voice was not loud, but it appeared unusually ear-piercing in this deathly silent night.

"Crap!"

Tang Huan, Mu Yan and Gu Ying were all slightly shocked.

Amongst the three of them, even Mu Yan who had the most understanding of the "Fire Spirit Sword Key" knew that this thing could open the spring mouth of the "True Fire Pool", but he did not know the details. Naturally, he did not know that such a voice would suddenly come out during the process.With this commotion, the vengeful spirits from Sword Crafting Valley would probably be attracted here immediately.

"Ah!" "Yah …"

As expected, a high-pitched scream could be heard from afar.

Immediately afterwards, as far as the eyes could see from the light of the True Fire's flames, black figures could be seen floating over like ghosts, as fast as lightning. Tang Huan's heart tensed up, and immediately retracted his gaze, looking at the round altar, in the area filled with lines, a square shaped hole had actually appeared.

The "Fire Spirit Sword Key" floated in its original position, shining with a dazzling red light.

On the inner wall of the cave, there were also many densely packed lines. In the middle of the inner wall, there was a sword-shaped groove that was extremely eye-catching.

At the bottom of the inner wall, there was a basin sized hole that was about half a foot deep.

Inside the crater, a layer of sparkling and translucent red liquid, about the depth of a finger, could be seen. It was unknown whether it was red in the first place, but it was reflected from the True Fire that it revealed its color. At the bottom of the pit, there was a spout like bulge, but the hole had been blocked.

"True Fire Spirit Spring!"

Tang Huan's eyes lit up, he immediately took down the bottle gourd that was tied to his waist, and when he pulled the cork off the bottle gourd that was next to the hole, a bright red liquid rushed out and flowed into the bottle gourd.

Long Heng had brought three of them with him, all for the sake of setting up the 'True Fire Spirit Spring'. After he died, the gourd was not damaged, but after returning to the Sword Crafting Valley, he had casually found them.

"Ah …"

The dozen or so vengeful spirits were like sharks who had smelled the scent of blood, screaming as they surrounded him.

The gigantic sword in Gu Ying's hand was already releasing a red glow as the heat churned. His eyes were fixated on the specters who were already ten meters away from him, and with his left hand, Mu Yan raised the "Soul Devouring Pearl" high up. The Genuine Qi entered the pearl and billions of black lights continuously exploded out.

Those vengeful spirits seemed to have sensed his presence and suddenly stopped moving. They started to become apprehensive of the "Soul Devouring Orb" in Mu Yan's hands, but they did not disperse either. They continued to wander around the surroundings, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they screamed.

Seeing that, Gu Ying and Mu Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

However, these vengeful spirits were all soul forms. Without the help of flesh body, once they encountered something like the "Soul Devouring Pearl" that could devour souls, they would naturally not dare to get too close to it.
