Ling Shan immediately smiled as she said to Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi, "This island is where my Ivy League Sect is. The name of this island is called the Mt. Vulcan Island. We should be safe now."
As soon as they were near the island, six human cultivators riding a flying mount were seen flying to interrupted them.
One of them was even shouting angrily, "Our island is off limits to all strangers!"
But as soon as he saw that the Holy Maiden Ling Shan was with Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi, he was so startled that he began to stammer. "Elder You Kuang pays my respect to the Holy Maiden Ling Shan!"
The other 5 cultivators were also quickly paying their homage in panic.
Ling Shan immediately smiled, "Great Saintess Shui Xisi and her servant Ji Yuan are both my guests. Because of them, I am freed from the Demoness Empress An Xuanji now."
Elder You Kuang bowed his head low as he said, "Your Holy Maiden, it isn't safe for you to return now. Your sister has become the new Holy Maiden of our Ivy League Sect now."
Ling Shan angrily said, "What? She has dared to seize my position! Now that I've returned, she can forget about being the Holy Maiden. Or is it because you have switched your loyalty to her instead?"
Elder You Kuang panicky said, "I really dare not. In fact, most of us awaits your return. But your sister is appointed by the Demoness Empress An Xuanji and she may not take too kindly to it."
Ling Shan said coldly, "Well, is she stronger than her father the Demon Emperor? I had killed the Demon Emperor on my own. It is time for the human cultivators to stand up against the desolate cultivators that try to lord their might over us."
Elder You Kuang stammered, "Yes, yes."
Ling Shan smiled to Shui Xisi to say, "Don't worry. Now that I've returned, I will be in the leadership position again. I can handle this on my own."
Shui Xisi smiled, "Well, if you can't handle it then I can lend you my servant Ji Yuan to help you. He is pretty strong as you can see."
Ling Shan then turned to Ji Yuan to smile at him, "Thank you in advance."
She muttered to Ji Yuan as soon as she had landed, "I hate flying. This is so tiring."
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Well, I am more tired than you as I have to use my profound strength to carry this Holy Maiden Ling Shan. Hahaha..."
Shui Xisi muttered weakly, "You don't look tired at all..."
It was true that Ji Yuan did not look tired at all and he was still looking fresh, even though he had a fight with the Demoness Empress An Xuanji earlier.
Another reason why she knows that Ji Yuan was not tired was because he had laughed, "Hahaha..."
When he had laughed thrice, it means that he was lying.
And when he was laughing twice, it was actually the truth.
Shui Xisi had learnt this from Ling Feiyue and she was purposely keeping it a secret from Ji Yuan.
In fact, all the maidens that know about this secret of Ji Yuan was purposely keeping this a secret.
Shui Xisi turned around to look at her surroundings and saw that there was a cave not far away from the pavilion that they had landed.
"Not bad," she said. "This place is quite scenic. I didn't expect that the underworld below the Celestial Realm looks like this. Only bad part is that there is no sun here or blue skies here."
Ji Yuan nodded.
The heavens here are actually red in color when reflected by the red color of the lava ocean. However, in many parts, it was shrouded in darkness or thick with desolate mists.
Ji Yuan said, "It seemed that there are many cultivation sects along this ocean of lava. This may be the only light source in this place. However, it is also unlikely that we will be able to find any profound treasures in these places too since it is often frequented by cultivators."
Shui Xisi frowned at Ji Yuan, "Don't tell me that you are still thinking of finding profound treasures in this place?"
Ji Yuan laughed softly, "Aren't we here in this place to find profound treasures?"
Shui Xisi stared coldly at him, "We are not in a trial or a wonderland, you know."
Ji Yuan weakly protested, "Maybe they do have some spirit herbs here that are common but rare in the Celestial Realm. We can buy cheap and sell high in the Celestial Realm."
