C4940 Underneath the Lake
In midair, Chen Xiao quickly flew forward as he asked Xi Luo in his heart.
"Woof."
Hei Zi followed beside him, inseparable from him.
Xi Luo smiled indifferently and said, "A rich and powerful man seeks fortune in danger. Are you afraid?"
Chen Xiao shook his head, "We're already at this step. There's no need to be afraid. It's just whether it's worth it to take the risk."
"Of course it's worth it."
"Why?" Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
"To fish in troubled waters. Only you and I have a chance. Otherwise, we will only be eaten by the two great sects. This is inevitable."
Xi Luo said indifferently.
When Chen Xiao heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense.
That's right. If it wasn't for the fact that the lava lake was too dangerous and that the leader of the Flame Beasts who had just escaped was hiding there, waiting for an opportunity to take action, the cultivators of the Demon God Hall and the Heavenly Fire Path wouldn't have been willing to let the rogue cultivators enter the lava lake.
"Okay."
"Don't worry about the gains and losses. In a narrow path, the brave wins. There's no other way."
Xi Luo advised.
"Alright."
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and understood in his heart.
At the same time, he also knew that following closely behind the cultivators of the two great sects was the safest.
If he was caught in the middle of the group of rogue cultivators, the situation would be very different.
As he spoke, he glanced at the group of rogue cultivators behind him from the corner of his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he also started to move.
A rogue cultivator said hesitantly.
"Look, the cultivators of the two sects are moving. Are they going to follow or not? It's hard to make a decision."
"Damn, let's go all out. If we don't, I'm afraid that I will be suppressed by the Nine Sects for the rest of my life and will never be able to rise again. Let's go all out. At most, it will just be an old life. Hmph."
"Riches come from danger. Let's gamble."
"Let's go. Follow them. Don't let the cultivators of the two sects go far."
For a moment, more than half of the rogue cultivators hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
One had to know that even this kind of gamble was an extravagant hope for many rogue cultivators.
In the Divine Realm, the rogue cultivators were all suppressed by the cultivators of the Nine Sects. If they wanted to stand up for themselves, they had to either submit to the Nine Sects or risk their lives.
The Purple Cloud City that Chen Xiao was in had also joined the Nine Sects and had business dealings with them.
But in the end, they relied on their own strength to be able to gain a stable foothold.
Just like that, the cultivators of the Sky Fire Dao Gate walked in front, and the Demon God Hall followed closely behind.
For a moment, the scene was quite strange, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
At the front of the lava lake, when Zhou Kuang saw it, he turned around and sneered.
"Junior apprentice nephew, you have a way. They have all followed you."
"En, that's expected." Fairy Ice Phoenix said indifferently, her face calm.
The nature of greed was carved into the bones of humans, and no one could easily change it.
"Greed is human nature. This is completely within my expectations."
Yan Can chimed in from the side.
Zhou Kuang nodded, "Reasonable."
At this time, Fairy Ice Phoenix spoke, "After entering the lake, no matter what happens, the forces of the two sects must not be separated. If someone is accidentally separated, remember to return to the ground immediately and make plans. Do you understand?"
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
The cultivators of the Demon God Hall and the Heavenly Fire Dao Gate replied in unison.
At this moment, it was difficult for them to conceal their nervousness. After all, this was a matter of life and death, and it was even more dangerous than dealing with the Flame Beasts earlier.
As they spoke, the group arrived at the side of the lava lake. The shocking temperature caused space to distort and warp, and a wave of scorching heat assaulted them, causing them to feel as if they were being roasted dry.
“So hot.”
“This high temperature is terrifying. I feel like I’m about to be set on fire.”
“It’s all thanks to Fairy Ice Phoenix being here. Otherwise, I’m afraid we wouldn’t even be able to approach it.”
The cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Dao Gate discussed in shock.
Fairy Ice Phoenix had already set up an ice barrier, protecting the cultivators of the Demon God Hall and a group of rogue cultivators.
In comparison, the cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Dao Gate were much more composed.
Yan Can grinned. “Let’s go.”
He took the lead and leaped into the lava lake. With a light plop, the cultivators of the Heavenly Flame Dao Gate hurriedly followed.
Only Ice Phoenix Fairy and the rest of the cultivators were left on the shore.
"Junior apprentice-nephew?" Zhou Kuang turned his head and asked.
Only then did Ice Phoenix Fairy regain her senses. "Let's go."
She lifted her foot and slowly moved the surface of the lake, sinking bit by bit. The collision between the ice shield and the lava produced a shocking sound, and it actually showed signs of melting.
Fortunately, she gritted her teeth and held on.
After entering the lava lake, it was all hot lava. Looking at it, it was a blazing red color, which was extremely terrifying.
Inside the lake, Spiritual Sense was also blocked. The distance that could be seen was very short, and one could only vaguely see Yan Can and the others' black shadows. They were constantly moving forward.
"Let's go, follow them."
Ice Phoenix Fairy gritted her teeth and tried her best to hold on. Without a word, she continued to sink.
The Undying Flame Crystals should be at the bottom of the lake. If she wanted to obtain the Flame Crystals, she would have to dive into the ground. It was unknown how deep it was. To her, this was also a huge test.
She felt the magic power in her body rapidly flowing away, so she quickly took out medicinal pills and stuffed them into her mouth to replenish it.
When Zhou Kuang saw this, he became a little worried, "Can you still hold on?"
"Yes."
After Fairy Ice Phoenix gave a simple reply, she did not say another word.
"Alright, be careful to observe your surroundings. Don't miss any unusual movements."
Zhou Kuang nodded and shouted to the others.
"Yes."
At the same time, in front of them.
Yan Can led the way, Sun Xingping and the other four cultivators of the Sky Fire Dao Gate each supported a small flame barrier, isolating themselves from the effects of the high-temperature lava, and quickly descended.
This method was obviously much more efficient than Fairy Ice Phoenix's method of saving magic power.
As the group of people continued to descend, they gradually adapted to the high temperature.
Fortunately, it was still within the range that they could withstand and could withstand it for a while.
At this time, Sun Xingping suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Looks like there are no Flame Beasts below the lake. That's great."
"Don't be careless," Yan Can scolded.
Sun Xingping shrank his neck and changed the topic, saying, "Third Elder, are we really going to split the Undying Flame Crystals with the people of the Demon God Hall? Wouldn't that be too much of a loss?"
Hearing that, Yan Can fiercely glared at him.
"Shut up, if anyone dares to have such thoughts, I will not let them off lightly."
"..."
Hearing that, the crowd immediately gave up on the idea.
Yan Can sighed, "They are really short-sighted and ignorant. A man cannot be established without trust. We can be a bit more overbearing towards other small forces or rogue cultivators, but the other party is a cultivator from the Demon God Hall, one of the Nine Sects. If they do not keep their word, wouldn't that ruin the big deal? From then on, the two sects will become enemies. Can you bear the responsibility of this karma?"
Yan Can's interrogation made Sun Xingping speechless.
