C234 Worry

Deep inside the Red Leaf Valley Fire Cave, there was no change from when Fang Yunlong first arrived. It was still scorching hot magma, a beautiful small island.

On the small island in the middle of the magma, there were no regretful Spiritual Herb. There was only a one-foot wide spring that gurgled out fiery red spring water. This was the famed cultivation world's most valuable treasure, the Sacred Flame Spirit Aperture.

Thirty cultivators silently stood within the Cave, staring at the Sacred Flame Spirit Essences on the small island in the lava with faces full of fury and dejection.

No matter who it was, when they arrived at the heaven in their hearts filled with excitement and hope, they would realize that heaven was only the other side of hell.

Yan Yan gave a long whistle, and the powerful Spiritual Strength surged out with it, shaking the entire Cave until it shook non-stop, as if it could collapse at any time. The lava lake seemed to be responding to Yan Yan's long roar as dozens of tongues of flame, each nearly three meters tall, shot out in an instant, turning the entire Cave into a sea of fire.

Everyone was secretly shocked, they did not expect that Yan Yan actually had such strength. Compared to the near Foundation Establishment stage Spiritual Pressure that Cai Lin had displayed outside the cave of fire, it did not seem to be any weaker.

Zhu Feng clenched his fists, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms, blood flowing through the lines, but he did not feel it.

Under Yan Yan's roar, Zhu Feng suddenly laughed out loud, the laughter rushed towards Yan Yan's howl and shook all the cultivators' hearts. It seemed that compared to Yan Yan, although Zhu Feng's strength was slightly weaker, it was not far off.

Under the influence of the hissing and laughter, some cultivators released their Shield s to protect themselves while others followed Yan Yan and Zhu Feng.

It cried and laughed crazily, and the entire Cave was in chaos. The fiery red color of the magma seemed to be reflected in everyone's eyes, so red that it seemed as if blood was about to drip out.

The laughter of Zhu Feng and the other cultivators seemed to have angered Yan Yan even more.

The cultivators beside Yan Yan were all pushed away by the powerful Spiritual Pressure, and not long later, a huge clearing appeared around Yan Yan.

Zhan Fei leaned expressionlessly against the wall of his Cave, wielding a large blade magical equipment, staring intently at the howling Yan Yan, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit, as though he was waiting for Yan Yan's order to start a massacre.

Only the petite beauty of Chaoyang Sect, Ping Ping, was still clear in her eyes. However, she was nervously staring at Yan Yan. Based on the current situation, a moment later, Yan Yan would fully display the strength of his Foundation Building Period Cultivator, causing a storm of blood and gore within his Cave.

In fact, Ping Ping could understand Yan Yan's current performance. The reason the ancestors spent their supernatural power to send him into the Proving Ground was so that he could lead the disciples of the Chaoyang Sect and obtain more treasures of the Spiritual Herb.

However, even though he was leading almost all of the Chaoyang Sect disciples, after spending nearly two days of his Red Leaf Valley, he still came up empty-handed. This kind of blow was too hard to bear for Yan Yan, the leader of the Chaoyang Sect disciples.

Ping Ping, who was in the middle of the crowd, continuously shouted out Yan Yan's name with her cherry lips, attempting to wake him up. However, the soft sound of Ping Ping was mixed with the laughter and howls of the crowd of cultivators. It was like a stream flowing into the ocean, not able to bring up a single wave.

When Ping Ping saw that his shouts were useless, he turned and charged towards Cai Lin who was beside him. In this place, perhaps only Cai Lin had the ability to wake up Yan Yan and the other cultivators.

As the leader of the Sky Valley, Cai Lin felt a deep sense of remorse and sadness when he saw that there was nothing else in the Cave other than the Sacred Flame Spirit Essences.

The instant Ping Ping struck Cai Lin's body, a ball of flame ignited within Cai Lin's beautiful eyes. The Spiritual Strength in her body circulated, and she was about to make her move to teach Ping Ping.

When Ping Ping dashed towards Cai Lin, the white jade Xiao Bai that was hung by Cai Lin's waist flashed with a white light, causing Ping Ping to be pushed back. At the same time, this white light awakened Cai Lin from her deep sorrow and remorse.

Cai Lin suddenly sobered up, and immediately supported Ping Ping, turning around to look, she was shocked, what caused such a chaotic situation?

Cai Lin took a deep breath, calmed the surging Spiritual Strength in his body, and then raised Bai Yushu up horizontally in front of him. The Spiritual Strength in his body circulated, and he immediately began playing it.

The flute melody was ethereal, like a dream or illusion. It was carefree and graceful like an immortal. Like spring water flowing through a mountain stream, like the chirping of an oriole and the sound of a forest, it slowly entered the heart of a person, calming down those balls of flames.

Though the sound of the flute was soft, under the lead of Cai Lin's Spiritual Strength, it seemed to be able to penetrate every opening. Gradually, the cultivators within the Cave stopped their long whistling laughter. They all felt like they were in a dream as they sat on the ground tiredly.

Yan Yan was, after all, a Foundation Building Period Cultivator. Looking at the Sacred Flame Spirit Essence on the small island in the center of the lava in front of him, Yan Yan sighed, lowered his head, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Yan Yan wake up and stop his hiss, Ping Ping hurriedly ran over. Her petite hand gently pulled on Yan Yan's sleeves and asked with concern: "Yan Martial Uncle, are you better now? All of this is heaven's will

It has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it. Furthermore, there's still a long way to go to get to the top of the mountain.

Yan Yan lowered his head to think for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "I was too stubborn, and almost caused a disaster. Since we haven't found anything here, we should leave the Fire Cave as soon as possible to meet up with Martial Nephew Tang and the Old Master Xiao.

I'm a little worried for Old Master Xiao and the rest, and I feel like their trip isn't going well. This time, no matter what, we have to seize the Mysterious Treasure Jade Bracelet.

Hearing Yan Yan's words, Ping Ping revealed a smile, "En, Martial Uncle Yan, we must leave this place quickly. I will go gather the other disciples now. " With that, Ping Ping stood up and was about to search for the other disciples.

Yan Yan lightly pulled Ping Ping, and looked around. Seeing that the other cultivators were still in a trance and were not completely awake, he said to Ping Ping in a low voice: "Junior Master Ping, I want to go first. If I send ten cultivators from the Floating Cloud Valley and my sect to leave the Cave at the same time.

It would definitely alarm the other sects. At that time, if he wanted to go back to Red Leaf Valley to retrieve the jade bracelet, it would definitely be inconvenient. If I were on my own, I would be able to quickly return to the Red Leaf Valley. "

Ping Ping thought for a moment, then nodded her head, after saying that she should be careful, she turned around and walked towards the other Chaoyang Sect disciples.

Yan Yan quietly looked at Ping Ping Ping's delicate back, his face revealing a smile, many people did not know, that this cute and cute looking beauty, had hidden a strong will. Yan Yan looked around, with a flash, he disappeared.

Seeing that everyone was gradually awakening, Cai Lin stopped her flute, leaned on the cave wall tiredly, and started to recuperate the Spiritual Strength in his body. After the previous playing, Cai Lin used all of his Fa Li without reservation. After a while, he realized that she had actually used up more than seventy to eighty percent of the Fa Li in his body.

A moment later, everyone within the Cave stood up one by one. Although they still lacked some mental strength, they had finally returned to normal. Everyone exclaimed and expressed their gratitude to Cai Lin. Cai Lin smiled slightly, "Everyone, I have to go through a lot to finally be able to get to this cave of fire Cave.

In fact, Younger Sister also fell into a mental state at that time. Fortunately, Junior Sister Ping Ping, who was in the Chaoyang Sect, was clear-headed and did not fall into a mental state, waking Younger Sister up in time, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. "

When everyone saw that Ping Ping from the Chaoyang Sect was the only cultivator who had not fallen into a demonic state, they couldn't help but praise this petite beauty for her determination and all expressed their gratitude. Ping Ping's face was flushed red. Her hands continuously twisted the corners of her clothes, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Ping Ping being so bashful under the gaze of the crowd, Cai Lin laughed and said: "Alright, everyone, since no one has discovered anything here, Younger Sister thinks that we should return to the Red Leaf Valley. I wonder if Senior Yan and Junior Zhu Feng …"

While speaking, Cai Lin's beautiful eyes looked towards the direction of Rising Sun Sect Side, but suddenly realized, that Yan Yan and Zhu Feng's figures were not in the crowd.

"Eh? What about Senior Brother Yan and Junior Brother Zhu Feng? " Cai Lin asked in surprise.

Ping Ping smiled, "Senior Sister Cai, because he was the first to lose his composure, Senior Martial Brother Yan caused everyone to fall into a trap. He felt very ashamed and left alone."

Senior Brother Luo from the Snow Mountain Monastery shook his head: "Because Junior Brother Zhu Feng did not manage to obtain anything here, and is dejected and ashamed, he felt ashamed to face our fellow disciples. Thus, he left alone."

Hearing Ping Ping and Senior Brother Luo's explanation, Cai Lin thought deeply for a moment as an ominous premonition filled her heart, filling her with worry. Was it because Yan Yan and Zhu Feng coveted the jade bracelet in Yun Fei's hands that they saw nothing at all?

Was he already planning to go back to the Red Leaf Valley to steal? He thought about how he had unyielding attitude before entering the fire cave, and about how he must have requested that the Xuansheng Sect be distributed among the cultivators, but suddenly changed his mind and was willing to split the loot evenly between the three parties.

After urging everyone to quickly enter the cave of fire, Cai Lin suddenly felt that an invisible conspiracy was attacking the Heluo Sect, and even the Sky Valley.

"The more Cai Lin thought about it, the more she thought that it was possible. Since Senior Brother Yan and Junior Brother Zhu Feng have let us down and don't have the face to meet with all of you, then we will leave first. At the same time.

Cai Lin transmitted her voice to the cultivator surnamed Fu of the Divine Sword Sect. She asked him to lead the other disciples of the Sky Valley faction and follow closely behind her, rushing back to the Red Leaf Valley at full speed.

With that, Cai Lin took the lead and took the initiative to fly towards the cave with his white jade Xiao. Behind Cai Lin, the surnamed Fu took the other cultivators from Sky Valley and followed closely behind Cai Lin, leaving the Cave.

Senior Brother Luo from the Snow Mountain Monastery, the comprehension ability of the Buddha Temple, Ping Ping from the Chaoyang Sect, and Jia Renyi from the Floating Cloud Valley all looked at each other. They did not expect that even though Cai Lin was a mere woman, he was so decisive and instantly figured out the possible joints.

Without delay, he led the cultivators from Sky Valley side away. Seeing that they missed the opportunity, they immediately called for their sect's disciples, and all of them flew out of the Cave. Not long after, all of the cultivators that gathered in the hall disappeared.

After leaving the Cave, Yan Yan no longer had any scruples, and unreservedly unleashed his powerful Foundation Establishment stage strength, flying out of the cave quickly while driving the magic tool, his speed was at least multiple times faster than when he entered the cave.

Behind Yan Yan, exhausted physically and mentally, Zhu Feng gritted his teeth as he activated the Spiritual Strength on his entire body and quickly shuttled through the fire cave. After all, Zhu Feng had experienced many hardships in the mortal world. After he regained his senses for a while, Zhu Feng realized that the Yan Yan in his Chaoyang Sect had disappeared without a trace. After pondering for a moment, Zhu Feng immediately understood Yan Yan's intention.

Before entering the cave of fire, Yan Yan transmitted his voice to Zhu Feng, telling him that they had reached an agreement. After entering the cave of fire, the cultivators from both sides who remained in the Red Leaf Valley found an opportunity to attack together. The jade bracelets they obtained belonged to the Chaoyang Sect.

As for the other Spiritual Herb s, they were all owned by the Heluo Sect. The cultivators of both sides who entered the cave of fire jointly attacked the Sky Valley after obtaining the treasures inside. The Spiritual Herb treasures they obtained were divided by sixty percent between Xuansheng Sect and sixty percent from Xuansheng Sect.

In the Fire Cave, there was only one person who could take away the Sacred Flame's Spirit Essences, and that immediately disrupted the plans of Zhu Feng and Zhu Feng. Since they were unable to obtain any treasures from the cave of fire, there was no point in discussing the alliance between the two.

As for the jade bracelet that was left in the Red Leaf Valley, it had become the most eye-catching item on this trip to the Red Leaf Valley. If the cultivators of Xuansheng Sect were to help Chaoyang Sect snatch the jade bracelet, and gave the jade bracelet to Chaoyang Sect, then Zhu Feng would have no way to regret it.

Yan Yan had quietly disappeared from the Cave, obviously to rush to the Red Leaf Valley first and grab the jade bracelet. As a result, even though Zhu Feng was a little tired, he resolutely decided to drag his body and quickly leave the Cave.

Go and chase Yan Yan. But what surprised Zhu Feng was that in the cave of fire, his Spiritual Sense could not find Yan Yan at all, and no matter how fast he went, he could not see Yan Yan's figure.

Within the Red Leaf Valley, all of the cultivators there had already fallen into a complete mess. When they woke up from their meditative state, they were stunned.

The Heluo Sect that was under their protection earlier had disappeared, and right in front of them, the Rising Sun Sect Side that was standing in front of them had also disappeared as well.

The surprised crowd discussed animatedly. Everyone had different opinions on how to deal with the current situation. Some said that they had sent people to find the Heluo Sect's disciples; some said that the Chaoyang Sect's disciples had gone to find a place to duel.

Some said that they should remain where they were and quietly wait for the sound of the beautiful music from the fire cave to come. There were also a few cultivators that guessed whether or not the Chaoyang Sect had gone to the great calamity of Heluo Sect.

The old man surnamed Liu, who was in charge of the temporary Sky Valley, firmly stood in front of the fire cave, and spoke to the crowd in a clear voice: "Junior brothers, this old man thought, since their Heluo Sect have left us without a sound, they do not need our protection.

Maybe they had other ideas. And the departure of Chaoyang Sect and Xuansheng Sect has nothing to do with us. Right now, our biggest mission is to wait for our fellow sect members in the cave of fire to come back with treasures. If we disperse our forces and leave this place …

If a fellow sect member comes here with a treasure and the other sects suddenly appear, then if a misfortune were to befall the same sect member, then you and I will be guilty. "

One of the cultivators from the Divine Sword Sect retorted, "Senior Brother Liu, you are wrong. Heluo Sect did not want to implicate us, so they left the Red Leaf Valley. As for the departure of the Chaoyang Sect and the other cultivators, it was clear that they were going to snatch the jade bracelet from the Heluo Sect.

I heard that there is a Black Heaven Dog that can track cultivators in Xuansheng Sect, so it's very likely that my Heluo Sect is currently surrounded by Chaoyang Sect.

We should immediately go and find Heluo Sect to protect them, not to mention your sect's Junior Sister Cai Lin. Before we leave, she repeatedly said that she wanted us to protect the safety of our Heluo Sect cultivators. "

The old veteran named Liu sighed in his heart. He could not help but recall the sound transmission from the Old Master Xiao just before Cai Lin and the other thirty cultivators entered the fire cave. After Cai Lin refused to cooperate with Chaoyang Sect and killed Xuansheng Sect, the Old Master Xiao once again sent a sound transmission to the old man surnamed Liu. After the thirty cultivators entered the fire cave, he hoped that the old man surnamed Liu would settle the cultivators with Sky Valley and Sky Valley.

Their Chaoyang Sect were only meant to go and snatch the jade bracelets from's hands, and not to harm the lives of the Heluo Sect disciples in the slightest. Old Master Xiao promised to give Old Man Liu two top-grade magic tools and three Foundation Establishment Pills as compensation after the matter was completed.

If they did not reach Foundation Establishment, the old man surnamed Liu, who arrived at the end of his lifespan, would no longer be able to resist the temptation. He agreed to help the Old Master Xiao s settle down the cultivators of Sky Valley and Sky Valley so that they would not be able to rescue Heluo Sect. Of course, the matter of the Chaoyang Sect cultivators seizing the Heluo Sect and jade bracelets couldn't happen before the eyes of the two sects. Otherwise, the disciples of the Sky Valley and Sky Valley would definitely not sit idly by and do nothing.

The old veteran named Liu already had a plan in his heart. No matter what the Divine Sword Sect cultivators said, they would all be rejected by him with various reasons.

Since there were only two people in the Divine Sword Sect, they naturally did not dare to search for the Heluo Sect's disciples on their own. As a result, even though the few of them were arguing non-stop beside the cave of fire, they did not take any action.

Suddenly, a white light flashed through the fire cave, and a human figure flashed by, flying out of the Red Leaf Valley. The Sky Valley and Divine Sword Sect cultivators surrounding the cave were all shocked.

By the time he could react, the figure had already disappeared. Everyone discussed and made their own guesses, causing a ruckus in front of the cave of fire.

In a patch of red grass that was a few dozen meters away from the fire cave, Senior Brother Wang, Xu Ruyun, and Ji Feihua sat cross-legged as they quietly watched the silhouette off into the distance and the noisy Sky Valley cultivators.

Xu Ruyun's pretty face was covered with worry, she asked: "Senior Brother Wang, will Junior Brother Yun be alright?"

Senior Brother Wang chuckled, "Junior Sister Xu, don't worry. Although Junior Brother Yun is young, he has done his job steadily and his array formation level is extremely high. Since he is one hundred percent confident that he can escape from the Chaoyang Sect and the Xuansheng Sect, there is no problem. "

Xu Ruyun was still a little worried as she said, "Just now, that figure who exited the cave of fire was so fast that he didn't seem like a Qi Condensation disciple at all. Perhaps, he was Junior Brother Yun whose Chaoyang Sect Junior Brother Yun Junior Brother Yun had spoken of before.

Now that Yan Yan is at the place where the Illusive Golden Armor Array is located, will he discover that the Junior Brother Yun is very dangerous? "

Ji Feihua smiled sweetly, "Senior Sister Xu, Junior Brother Yun's attainments in array formations must have received the teachings of Elder Liu. Junior Brother Yun said that when he hid within the formation, Elder Liu was certain that only cultivators at the Late Foundation Building Period realm and above would not be able to find him. "

Xu Ruyun nodded as she looked in the direction of the Illusive Golden Armor Array with a worried expression. She silently prayed for Fang Yunlong, hoping that he would be able to leave the Proving Ground safely.

Seeing Xu Ruyun's expression, Ji Feihua sighed secretly and turned to Senior Brother Wang, "Senior Brother Wang, you said that Yan Yan has already left the cave. Could it be that the treasure hunt in the cave is already over?"

Senior Brother Wang shook his head: "It shouldn't end so soon, unless Yan Yan reaches the bottom of the cave and returns immediately, or if Yan Yan hasn't even reached the bottom yet. However, with the avarice of the Chaoyang Sect, how could he possibly give up the treasures inside the cave of fire? It's really hard to understand. "

Ji Feihua nodded her head, and the beautiful voice resounded once again, "If not for the Chaoyang Sect being so greedy, there would not have been so many complications on this trip of the Red Leaf Valley, and so many cultivators would not have perished here."

Senior Brother Wang let out a long sigh, "That's right. In fact, Floating Cloud Valley who follows Chaoyang Sect is the unluckiest ones. A disciple just happened to be blocking my array position, so I had no choice but to kill him. The most unfortunate one is the tall cultivator from Floating Cloud Valley that we met after we exited the array.

He had originally planned to let the Chaoyang Sect touch its surface after he left the array to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that Tang Xueling, who was extremely proficient in Chaoyang Sect, would actually use her Purple Lightning Staff to protect her entire body after discovering that there were some ripples inside the array.

There's no choice but to let the nearest tall cultivator from Floating Cloud Valley be a scapegoat. "

Ji Feihua said faintly: "Perhaps what the Junior Brother Yun said makes sense, but greed is not a sin. If one does not have strength, but is excessive greed, then one would be courting death."

"Yes." Senior Brother Wang nodded, "Perhaps because of a Foundation Building Period Cultivator leading the team, Chaoyang Sect felt that their strength far surpassed that of Xuansheng Sect and Sky Valley, which was why they were so unbridled."

She turned her head to look at the clamoring Sky Valley and Divine Sword Sect cultivators beside the fire cave, and suddenly snorted coldly, "I never thought that Sky Valley cultivators would be so useless, hesitating at a time like this, calling themselves one of the three great holy lands of Yuzhou."

Ji Feihua laughed indifferently, "That old man Liu, somehow felt that something was wrong. He first suggested that we cooperate with Chaoyang Sect to kill off Xuansheng Sect, and now that it's peaceful, we should stop the cultivators from going to search for my sect that has disappeared.

He had no idea what Rising Sun Sect Side and their side were thinking. Fortunately Senior Brother Wang decided to set up a protection array here, and have us wait to see what happens.

Senior Brother Wang shook his head and said, "Senior brother Liu is timid and greedy. There is indeed something wrong with your performance this time. If the three of us were to join them now, I'm afraid that when the Chaoyang Sect and Xuansheng Sect come back, the three of us would be betrayed by them.

I will wait until Junior Sister Cai comes back. "

Ji Feihua nodded her head, "Junior Sister Cai is so heroic that you can't let your eyebrows rise, your courage and insight is truly admirable. This time, the reason why we were able to gain something from the Proving Ground was all because of Junior Sister Cai. "

Senior Brother Wang smiled, he looked towards the direction Yan Yan was flying towards, a look of worry flashed past his eyes, but he laughed involuntarily. With Junior Brother Yun's array techniques, if he was unable to escape, then there was nothing we could do.
