"Where is Miss Li Rong?!" The guards ca storming in and surrounded Yuan Ming, leaving him no way to escape.
*Boom!*
"Argh!" Yuan Ming's knees buckled as the pressure ca crashing down on his body. It would have been bearable if it was just one person pressing him down, but this ti a group of core formation level cultivators were using their pressure to push him down.
Yuan Ming could feel the pain spreading through his body, crushing his bones and muscles. His joints were cracking and his muscles tearing due to the resistance he was putting up.
'I cannot get caught again! I need to save the rest!' Yuan Ming scread in his mind as he felt his consciousness slipping. His vision started to darken, making it difficult for him to see.
The mont his body could not take it anymore, his droopy eyes caught sothing in the dark. The air in the tunnel before he shifted and a foot ca into sight.
*Tap!*
The guards moved sharply, hearing a set of footsteps behind them. They pointed their weapons in the direction the sound ca from and waited for the person to reveal themselves.
"Who is there?! Show yourself!" one of the guards shouted loudly. All of them had sweat running down their bodies, not just from the heat of the lava but also from the ominous presence coming from that direction, which made them feel uncomfortable.
"Did this guy bring so companions along?"
"That should not be possible. After all, this place is sealed and I rember that it was the captain who brought this boy."
As the guards looked at the tunnel, Yuan Ming found his body relieved of the pressure bearing down on him and fell to his knees.
'Who?' Just as his eyes were about to close from exhaustion, he caught sight of a mask.
A mask that brought horrifying mories of a certain night from his past. His consciousness drifted off into sleep right after seeing the mask. 'If it's him, maybe he can save us from this place.'
"Did you co for this guy?" the nearest guard ca forward and pointed his spear at Noah. "Don't worry, you will join—"
The man suddenly stopped speaking, seeing an unconscious boy lying beside the new intruder.
"When did he?" they all looked and saw that Yuan Ming was no longer lying on the ground between them.
"Be careful! Take the chance to trap him. If you cannot capture him, try to… huh?" The guard who was pointing his spear at Noah turned around to warn the rest but froze upon seeing their bodies stabbed with countless illusionary swords lying on the ground.
His eyes shook seeing the blood dripping from their warm bodies. 'How?'
*Woosh!*
He turned around to look back at the masked man, but all he could see was a shining thin line coming towards him before everything turned dark.
*Thud!*
Ruo'er walked out of the shadow and sighed, seeing how easily Noah took care of the situation.
"Let's gather everyone else and leave this place." She nodded, hearing his words. Ignoring the bodies lying around, Ruo'er walked back behind Noah as they made their way back up.
Coming back to the center of the volcano's mouth, Noah placed Yuan Ming on a nearby rock before jumping back to the floor where the people he saved were lying unconscious.
*Tap!*
Noah's ears caught the sound of soone moving on the upper levels.
*Woosh!*
He moved at a fast pace and entered the sa room he left a while ago. Seeing them all lying in their places, he sighed in relief.
***
*Clatter!*
Ruo'er, who was still on the ground floor around the lava, raised her head. 'What was that sound?'
She reached out for her sword, heard the noise, and looked around carefully.
*Woosh!*
Her eyes widened when she saw movents on the higher levels of the mountain. 'Did they leave their rooms hearing a commotion?'
She hid behind a wall so they would not notice her. As she was now, she could barely fight one person, let alone an army of mindless followers.
Before she could think of anything else, Noah reappeared before her eyes. His appearance caught the attention of the people on the higher floors.
"Who is he?"
"What's happening here?"
Ruo'er saw that behind him were floating the three unconscious disciples of Wuhan.
"We have to leave now!" Noah waved his hands and a small ship soared through the skies and expanded into a huge one on the top of the volcano.
Noah waved his hands and sent the four unconscious disciples on board. Ruo'er also made her way onto the ship using her sword. Noah, on the other hand, did not imdiately board the ship.
Instead, he took out his sword and slashed it several tis.
*Boom!*
In the next second, the wall in front of him exploded into several pieces and flew away in all directions.
After the dust settled, he could see the rest of the people he helped lying there unconsciously.
*Woosh!*
Under his control, they all were sent to the ship before Noah himself flew into the air.
"Are we going to take them with us?" Ruo'er asked curiously, looking at the people lying on the ground.
"Yeah, but there is still sothing left to do." Noah nodded before looking down from the ship.
He could see so many people looking up at him with hostility. They had no idea what was going on, but they knew one thing: that Noah was their enemy.
"I have to send a ssage!" A cold glint flashed through Noah's eyes. 'Only the weaker ones have woken up first. Looks like the stronger soone is, the more ti it takes to enslave them.'
Noah spread his arms to the side and raised them slowly; a huge seal rose from the feet of the volcano.
*Blop!*
*Woosh!*
Ruo'er saw that Noah was just worsening his injuries and she wanted him to stop. But before she could move, her eyes caught sight of smoke coming from the volcano.
Followed by the smoke, sounds of magma boiling echoed.
"What's happening!"
"The lava!!" The people in the volcano panicked, seeing the magma building up slowly.
As the magma started to build up, it had nowhere to go but up.
