I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Lu Xueyao also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I really escaped death this time."

The two smiled at each other, their joy in their hearts was beyond words. They knew that they were able to escape the trap successfully this time, all thanks to their mutual understanding and wisdom. This also made them more determined to find the Nine Netherworld Fire.

"Let's go, let's move on." Lu Xueyao said.

Han Feng nodded and followed closely. The two of them once again set out on the journey to find the Nine Netherworld Fire.

Liu Ruyan and Bai Wei followed the corridor of the ancient ruins and went deeper into the secret room step by step.

On the surrounding stone walls, candlelight flickered, as if it would go out at any time, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to this silent space.

"Ruyan, do you feel this place is a bit eerie?" Bai Wei asked in a low voice, and she couldn't help but tighten her robe.

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly and teased, "Why, our Miss Bai Wei is also afraid of this kind of place?"

"Who said I was scared?" Bai Wei glared at Ruyan and pouted in pretending to be angry. "I just think it's too quiet here, which is a bit unusual."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Liu Ruyan patted Bai Wei's shoulder gently, "Let's quickly find the trace of the Nine Netherworld Fire."

As they talked, they came to a secret room. The door of the secret room was tightly closed, and it was engraved with ancient runes, which seemed to hide some mysterious power.

"It seems that this secret room is the key." Liu Ruyan said, reaching out to touch the runes.

The moment she touched the rune, the door of the secret room suddenly opened slowly, and a hot breath rushed towards her.

The two of them looked closely and saw a huge pool of fire in the center of the secret room with blue flames jumping in the pool. That was the Nine Netherworld Fire they had been looking for!

"Great, we finally found it!" Bai Wei jumped up excitedly.

However, just as they were about to approach the fire pool, a strange laugh suddenly sounded in the secret room.

Then, many ghostly figures appeared on the surrounding walls, dancing around the fire pool, as if guarding the mysterious flame.

"What the hell is this?" Bai Wei exclaimed.

Liu Ruyan also frowned. "It seems that these ghosts are the spirit beasts guarding the Nine Netherworld Fire. We have to be careful when dealing with them."

The two quickly prepared for battle and faced the siege of these ghost beasts. However, these beasts did not seem to intend to attack them directly, but kept circling around them, harassing them, trying to prevent them from approaching the fire pool.

"These spirit beasts are so cunning!" Bai Wei exclaimed, "They don't attack us directly, but try every possible way to obstruct us."

"That's right, we can't be led by them." Liu Ruyan said, and suddenly launched an attack on one of the spirit beasts.

Her sword flashed like lightning and instantly hit the spirit beast, only for it to turn into a wisp of green smoke and dissipate into the air.

Seeing this, the other spirit beasts launched even more fierce attacks on Liu Ruyan and Bai Wei.

The two stood back to back, not afraid of the attack from the spirit beasts. They cooperated with each other to resist the attacks from the spirit beasts and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

After a fierce battle, the two finally defeated all the spirit beasts. They sat on the ground panting and rested for a while before slowly standing up and walking towards the fire pool.

"I can finally get the Nine Netherworld Fire!" Bai Wei said excitedly.

However, just as they were about to touch the Nine Netherworld Fire, the entire chamber suddenly shook! A beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped the entire pool of fire!

"What's going on?" Liu Ruyan exclaimed, "Could it be that the ruins' self-defense mechanism has been triggered?"

Bai Wei also showed a look of horror, "What should we do?"

The beam of light gradually dissipated, and the Nine Netherworld Fire in the pool of fire became weaker and weaker. The two were extremely anxious but could do nothing. They could only watch the Nine Netherworld Fire about to go out...

Suddenly, Liu Ruyan had a flash of inspiration, "Wait! I remember! Master once said that there is a mechanism in this relic that can control these self-defense mechanisms!"

"Really? Where is the mechanism?" Bai Wei asked anxiously.

"If I remember correctly, it should be somewhere in this secret room." Liu Ruyan said, and began to search carefully in the secret room, "Help me find it!"

Lu Xueyao, Liu Ruyan, Bai Wei and Han Feng finally gathered beside the Nine Netherworld Fire Pool in the secret room.

The blue flames before their eyes jumped, as if telling them a thousand-year-old secret.

"Is this the Nine Netherworld Fire?" Han Feng widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes, this is what we are looking for." Lu Xueyao nodded affirmatively, "Everyone be careful, this flame is unusual, we need to work together to take it away."

Liu Ruyan joked, "Han Feng, don't let the fire burn your eyebrows!"

"Humph, I wouldn't do that." Han Feng turned his head away unconvinced.

Bai Wei looked serious, "Let's act quickly, so as to avoid any more trouble."

The four of them formed a circle, stretched out their hands, and prepared to work together to guide the Nine Netherworld Fire into a specially made magic weapon.

Just as they were about to touch the flame, the Nine Netherworld Fire suddenly jumped violently, as if trying to break free from its restraints.

"Oh no, it's trying to escape!" Lu Xueyao exclaimed.

Liu Ruyan was quick to grab the tail of the flame and said, "Don't let it run away!"

However, the Nine Netherworld Fire was extremely powerful. It struggled violently and actually threw Liu Ruyan out. Liu Ruyan staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Ruyan!" Bai Wei exclaimed and hurried forward to support her.

Han Feng took the opportunity to jump up, holding the top of the Nine Netherworld Fire tightly with both hands, "Let's see how you run!"

The Nine Netherworld Fire seemed to sense Han Feng's provocation, and it suddenly burst out with a stronger light, trying to break free from Han Feng's palm.

However, Han Feng was no pushover. He gritted his teeth and held on to the flame tightly.

"Han Feng, hold on!" Lu Xueyao shouted and joined the fight.

The four of them started a fierce battle around the Nine Netherworld Fire. Sometimes they were thrown out by the flames, and sometimes they regained control. The secret room was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

After a hard fight, the four of them finally worked together to introduce the Nine Netherworld Fire into the magic weapon. They sat on the ground panting and smiled at each other.

"Great! We finally succeeded!" Bai Wei excitedly hugged Liu Ruyan beside her.

Liu Ruyan also showed a relieved smile, "Yes! It's really not easy!"

Han Feng smiled triumphantly, "Hmph! See if I can cure you!" As he said that, he made a face at the Nine Netherworld Fire in the magic weapon.

However, at this moment, the secret room suddenly shook again! The four looked at each other, wondering what had happened. Are there other tests waiting for them?

Lu Xueyao reacted quickly, "Everyone, stand up! We may not be completely out of danger yet!"

The four of them immediately looked around vigilantly, and saw that many complex patterns suddenly appeared on the walls around the secret room. They emitted a faint light and seemed to be brewing something.

"Is this... a formation?" Liu Ruyan's eyes widened. "Could it be that the ruins' self-defense mechanism has been triggered?"

Han Feng also revealed a solemn expression, "It seems that we have to quickly find a way to break this formation before we can get out."

Bai Wei looked at Lu Xueyao, "Xueyao, you are the one who knows formations best among us. Can you tell what formation this is?"

Lu Xueyao stared at the patterns on the wall with a frown on her face. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a teleportation array, but I don't know where exactly it will teleport to."

"Teleportation array?" Liu Ruyan exclaimed, "Aren't we going to be teleported to an unknown place?"

"Not necessarily." Lu Xueyao shook her head. "The teleportation array usually has multiple exits. We can only leave safely if we find the correct exit."

"What should we do?" Han Feng said anxiously, "We don't understand these things!"

Lu Xueyao took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it... Oh, right! Master once taught me a way to find the correct exit of the teleportation array."

"Really? That's great!" Bai Wei excitedly grabbed Lu Xueyao's arm, "Tell us what to do!"

Lu Xueyao nodded and began to carefully observe the patterns on the wall. As she observed, she gestured in the air with her hands, as if she was calculating something.

After a while, she finally stopped what she was doing and said, "Okay, I found it! Everyone follow me!" As she said that, she took the lead and walked towards the patterns in a corner.

The other three hurriedly followed. Lu Xueyao pressed her palm on the pattern and chanted a spell.

After successfully seizing the Nine Netherworld Fire, Lu Xueyao, Liu Ruyan, Bai Wei and Han Feng did not stop for a moment and immediately began to evacuate the ruins.

They knew very well that the joy and success at the moment were only temporary, and the real challenge was whether they could safely leave this relic full of unknowns and dangers.

"Hurry, we have to leave here quickly." Lu Xueyao urged. She held the magic weapon containing the Nine Netherworld Fire tightly in her hand, fearing any mishap.

Han Feng looked relaxed, "Don't worry, I'm here. Even if you encounter any danger, I can protect you."

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at Han Feng and said, "Go ahead and brag. It was Xueyao who saved you the last time you were in danger."

"That time was an accident, but this time is different." Han Feng explained, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Bai Wei smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let's go quickly, so we don't have to wait too long."

The four of them walked out of the secret room carefully and returned along the way they came. However, they soon discovered that the evacuation route was not as smooth as they had imagined.

There seemed to be a mysterious power hidden in the ruins, which created obstacles from time to time to hinder them.

Sometimes it was a sudden abyss, sometimes it was an inexplicable gust of wind, and there was even one time when they were almost besieged by a group of stone statues that suddenly emerged.

"This ruins is too unfriendly!" Han Feng complained, "We are here to get fire, not to steal anything."

"Stop complaining and be careful." Lu Xueyao reminded, "These obstacles may be the ruins' self-defense mechanism. We must deal with them carefully."

Liu Ruyan seemed to be thinking about something. "Do you think these obstacles are related to the Nine Netherworld Fire? Maybe it's because we took away the fire that the ruins reacted like this."

"It's possible." Bai Wei nodded, "But no matter what, we have to leave here as soon as possible."

The four of them moved forward rapidly while dealing with various obstacles. Their cooperation became more and more tacit, and they could react quickly and turn danger into safety no matter they encountered an abyss or a strong wind.

Finally, after some twists and turns, they saw the exit of the ruins.

However, just as they were about to step out of the ruins, an invisible barrier suddenly blocked their way.

"What's going on?" Han Feng asked in surprise.

Lu Xueyao frowned, "It seems that the ruins don't want us to leave so easily."

"Then what should we do?" Bai Wei was a little anxious, "We can't be trapped here forever."

Liu Ruyan calmly analyzed: "This barrier may be the last line of defense of the ruins. We need to find a way to break it."

The four began to carefully observe the characteristics of the barrier, trying to find clues to crack it. After some effort, they finally found a rune hidden on the barrier.

"It seems that this is the key to breaking the barrier." Lu Xueyao said, "We need to follow the instructions of the rune."

With the joint efforts of the four, they finally succeeded in breaking the barrier and successfully left the ruins. When they stepped on solid ground again, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally out!" Han Feng exclaimed, "This adventure is so exciting."

"Yes, we almost died." Bai Wei also sighed, "But fortunately, we are all safe."

Liu Ruyan looked at the Nine Netherworld Fire in Lu Xueyao's hand and said, "Although this expedition was full of dangers, we also got what we wanted. With the Nine Netherworld Fire in hand, the strength of our Qi Tian Sect will surely reach a new level."

Lu Xueyao nodded, "Yes, our mission this time has been completed. Next, what we have to do is to return to the sect as soon as possible and hand over the Nine Netherworld Fire to Master."

The four of them smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy and pride. They knew that the success of this expedition was not only a personal honor, but also the pride of the entire Qitian Sect.

The sunlight shines through the clouds and falls on the mountain gate of Qi Tian Sect on Taihao Star. The golden light makes the ancient stone tablet even more solemn.

After days of traveling, Lu Xueyao, Liu Ruyan, Bai Wei and Han Feng finally returned to the sect with the Nine Netherworld Fire.

"I'm finally back!" Han Feng stretched and sighed, "This journey was really thrilling."

"Stop talking and go see the master quickly." Lu Xueyao urged. The Nine Netherworld Fire in her hand flickered with a faint blue light, as if telling of its extraordinaryness.

The four of them walked through the sect's corridor and arrived in front of the main hall.

At this time, Zhao Qi had been standing there waiting for a long time. Seeing his disciples return safely, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
