Ye Zichen and co. travelled for around two days, before they arrived at a mountain range covered in black rocks. The temperature was extremely high, and there were no vegetation at all.

"Um... Such a high temperature, is this place the danger you guys are talking about? " Ye Zichen frowned slightly and asked as he looked at the complicated and hot environment in front of him.

"Yes, after many enquiries, several of the Zhou family's most precious treasures were stolen and thrown into an active volcano in front of us. If you want to enter, you must first enter the magma inside the volcano." The leading man nodded and said, "But the temperature of the lava is extremely high, enough to burn an average sixth grade Battle-King to ashes. It was only when we had no other choice did we think of the plan to kidnap Young Master Liu and use his Gold-scaled Puppet to obtain the treasure."

… ….

While Liu Mang was pretending to be strong and shouting, Ye Zichen and his group flew to an active volcano that was thousands of meters high and was emitting a fiery red heat wave.

"Young Noble Feng, according to the information we received, the Zhou family's most precious treasure is in this active volcano magma." The leader stood at the mouth of the volcano and pointed at the extremely hot lava path.

"As expected of the Central Continent. Magma at such a temperature can't be seen in the outside world."

Feeling the temperature of the volcanic magma, Ye Chenfeng was slightly shocked. He sighed with emotion at the spirit of the central world. It was something that the other continents could not compare to.

"Young Master Liu, I'll leave everything to you!"

The leading man asked politely while enduring the anger in his heart.

"Out of the way!"

Liu Mang glared at the three men who were ruining his plans. He walked towards the crater of the volcano, and after summoning his protective card, the Golden Scaled Puppet, which was comparable to a fifth grade Battle-Emperor, he jumped into the boiling lava.

Suddenly, a deafening beast roar sounded out, and scalding hot lava surged out.

A huge snake over ten meters long, covered in dark red scales, with a single horn on its head flickered within the magma. It opened its bloody maw and attacked the golden-scaled puppet, engaging in a fierce battle with it within the magma.

"This is bad, the Heavenly Beast in the magma is almost a ninth level Heavenly Beast. My Gold-scaled Golem is in trouble!"

Sensing that the Golden-Scaled Puppet had suffered an enormous attack and was continuously being forced back by the magma snake's attack, Liu Mang's expression slightly changed.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Zichen's powerful soul shot through the magma and locked onto the fiercely attacking magma snake. He pointed at the air and the Purple Beginner Holy Thunder shot out, shooting into the fiercely churning magma.

"Aooo …"

After being attacked by the Purple Beginning Holy Thunder, the furious Magma Snake let out a painful hiss. The seemingly unstoppable Purple Beginning Holy Lightning directly tore through its defenses, injuring it.

Following that, Ye Zichen pressed down with his finger, then pointed a second time, causing the Purple Beginner Holy Thunder to attack it.

After experiencing the terrifying power of the Purple Beginner Holy Thunder, the Magma Snake hurriedly dodged and fled towards the bottom of the magma, giving up on attacking the Golden-Scaled Golem.

"He subdued a type of heavenly lightning!"

The vision of the three men in black were limited, they did not recognize the grade of the Purple Beginner Holy Thunder. They thought that Ye Chenfeng had just shot a bolt of heavenly lightning, and a hint of greed appeared in their eyes.

Without the obstruction of the magma snake, the Golden-Scaled Puppet quickly dived into the depths of the magma, searching for the Zhou Clan's heavy objects that were scattered within the magma.

While the golden-scaled puppet was searching for treasures in the magma, Ye Chenfeng sat cross-legged beside the crater of the volcano, waiting silently for something to happen.

"Hmm …"

When Ye Zichen was adjusting his breathing, his sharp perception detected something strange. He frowned slightly, but did not open his eyes and continued to adjust his breathing, waiting.

Roughly six hours later, the golden-scaled golem, which had its scales melted by the lava, flew back to the volcano's mouth with three other treasures.

"Dammit, this is the so-called Zhou family treasure. The Zhou family is so poor!"

He looked at a black metal piece in the golden-scaled puppet's arms that had no special characteristics, an extremely sharp black dagger that was covered in ancient patterns, a long rod that was full of holes, and a body covered in snake tattoos. He then looked at the golden-scaled puppet's injuries again.

If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't beat the three of them, Liu Mang would have strangled them long ago.

"Iron piece, dagger, staff …"

Ye Zichen looked at the three items in the golden-scaled puppet's arms, then started to use his divine brain to sense them.

"The metal pieces are low-grade Dao tools, daggers and long sticks are mid-grade Dao tools …" After sensing it for a while, Ye Zichen frowned.

Although low-grade and mid-grade Dao weapons were extremely precious in the outside world, they were many times more valuable in the central continent. They were not even close to being inherited by the underworld clans, not to mention that the underworld clans had Nirvana stage old monsters.

At that moment, Ye Chenfeng also felt like he was being toyed with.

But then he thought better of it.

If it was only these three treasures, then it would definitely not be worth the black-clothed man and the two others taking such a huge risk to kidnap Liu Mang from the imperial clan of the Nine Heavens Divine Kingdom.

"Young Noble Feng, we will keep our promise. You can choose these three treasures first. The remaining two will belong to us!"

The leading man looked at Ye Chenfeng's tightly knitted eyebrows, smiled slightly and said generously.

"Alright!"

Ye Zichen nodded, then walked beside the Golden-Scaled Puppet. He reached out his hand to brush the three treasures, while using his mind to sense the expressions of the three people.

When Ye Zichen picked up the seemingly ordinary black metal that was like bricks, he could clearly feel that the expressions of the three men in black were a bit restrained.

It was obvious that they valued this black metal greatly.

"If I knew that the Zhou family only had these three treasures, I wouldn't have cooperated with you!" Ye Zichen said coldly, "Never mind, I want this black metal as a souvenir."

Hearing that Ye Chenfeng chose the lowest grade of black metal, the expressions of the three men in black changed slightly. The leader smiled and said, "Young Noble Feng, please don't worry. Among the three treasures, only the metal in your hand is a low-grade Dao Artifact."

"This black iron piece is quite pleasing to the eye, I won't trade with it!"

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Ye Chenfeng confirmed his guess. There must be a secret hidden within this black metal.

"To be able to obtain these three treasures, it is all thanks to Young Noble Feng and Young Noble Liu!" The leader said straightforwardly, "How about this. Lord Ye, give me this piece of metal. I will give you a middle-level defensive tool."

"Not exchanging!"

Ye Zichen shook his head and said coldly. Under the unwilling gazes of the three, he put the black metal piece back into the Cosmic Charm.

"Brother Liu Mang, let's go!"

With that, Ye Chenfeng left without any delay, with a swearing Liu Mang.

Suddenly, a tall and sturdy man wearing a long black robe that emitted a powerful physical pressure appeared, while his long black hair danced in the wind. He held a heavy sword in his hand and blocked the duo.
