As Ling Chen and his group continued their journey, leaving the desolate mountain, about ten minutes later, seven or eight people in black suddenly appeared on the mountain peak, walking out into view.
"Didn't expect to arrive a step late, that boy Ling Chen has already left."
Leading the group was a lean old man, his lips were exceedingly thin, akin to a knife's edge, exuding an exceedingly sharp feeling.
"Why is Elder Liu Qing so anxious? Judging by the situation here and the news we've obtained, that boy should not have escaped far, catching up with him shouldn't be difficult."
Beside him, a middle-aged man stepped forward with a grin; his face was sinister, giving an uneasy feeling.
If Ling Chen were here, he would certainly recognize this person. This middle-aged man was none other than the Liu Family mber, Liu Feng, who previously wished to put him to death in Cloud Outland.
"This Ling Chen is imnsely talented, his growth speed might surpass each day, leaving him be is a disaster,"
Liu Qing glanced at Liu Feng, "Moreover, the Great Elder painstakingly persuaded the ancestors and the elderly eting, convincing them to agree to eliminate Ling Chen imdiately. Now the Great Elder orders to take Ling Chen's life within seven days, you say I can't be anxious?"
"That's true, but that boy won't escape our grasp."
Liu Feng nodded quickly. Ever since he let Ling Chen escape in Cloud Outland last ti, he got plenty of punishnt and criticism upon returning to the Liu Family. Originally, he had a chance to be favored by the Great Elder, all because he couldn't completely solve Ling Chen.
This ti, after so long, the Great Elder finally gave him another chance, letting him follow Elder Liu Qing here to thoroughly remove Ling Chen.
However, this action cannot fail again, Ling Chen will absolutely have no chance of survival. Because Liu Qing's cultivation level had just recently broken through to the level of a Half-Saint.
With a Half-Saint taking action, even if Ling Chen's luck is great, he will certainly die.
"Go! We must swiftly resolve this to avoid future trouble!"
Liu Qing stamped his foot and leapt onto a flying monster, the rest of the people in black followed imdiately, swiftly disappearing into the sky.
The desolate mountain returned to tranquility once again.
However, this tranquility lasted just a mont, from the mountain peak, several figures suddenly appeared.
These people were likewise clad in night clothes, but their clothes leaned towards dim colors. The leader was a figure wrapped entirely in a grey robe, indistinguishable whether they were male or female.
"It seems the Great Elder has already convinced the ancestors and the elderly eting, preparing to eliminate that Ling Chen."
A grey-robed person stepped forward, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Didn't expect the Great Elder to be so invested in Ling Chen, even sending experts like Liu Qing, a Half-Saint. It seems taking Ling Chen's life is inevitable this ti."
The leader lowered the hood to reveal an incredibly exquisite and enchanting young face. This woman was as if a captivating beauty; her long hair was dark red, adding an air of allure.
"What plans does the young lady have?"
The grey-robed person asked.
"No plans, I'm originally reluctant to interfere in family affairs, but this ti it's my father's request. Besides, I also want to et this cousin I've never t before. Whether he is a dragon or a phoenix."
The red-haired woman curved her lips into a mischievous smile, then waved her jade hand, "Go, follow them!"
"Yes!"
The group also leapt onto a flying monster's back, rapidly chasing after Liu Xi and the others.
...
At this ti, the group from the Green Mountain Association had already followed their map to another region.
"According to the map, a hundred miles ahead is a volcanic zone marked red, indicating imnse danger. However, the greater the danger, the greater the reward." Sima Linyuan opened the map, glanced at it, then set his sight straight ahead.
"Seeking wealth in peril, having co here, how could we miss it? What does a bit of danger matter."
Ye Ming said with a laugh.
"Brother Ye is right; we've faced even greater dangers."
Nobody despises treasures; in fact, resources are sotis more important than talent. Why else do genius talents often erge from large families, whereas it's rare among common people? Although Ling Chen isn't a disciple of a large family, he's had nurous fortuitous encounters.
A hundred-mile distance is only a few minutes' journey for the Green Mountain Association with their puppet ship.
The site was an enormous volcanic crater, the group stood poised above the crater, looking down, and could see the crater's width was incredibly vast, up to a thousand ters wide. Such a wide crater, once it erupts, would surely be a cataclysmic event.
"In the volcano, not a blade of grass grows, but it doesn't exclude the possibility of heavenly materials and earthly treasures of utmost yang and rigidity."
Channeling True Qi to resist the surrounding heat, Sima Linyuan entered the crater's interior.
The interior of the volcano was a massive space, with the crater above being a thousand ters wide, and its base extending several miles.
At a glance, the sight was filled with golden lava lakes, the surface of the lakes had many large black rocks, and on those rocks, so spirit grasses were growing, a few red spirit grass caught Ling Chen's attention.
"It's Divine Fla Grass, a rare herb for cultivating the True Essence of Fire."
Ling Chen's eyes glead, he swooped down and began picking Divine Fla Grass.
The others started to take action.
The quantity of Divine Fla Grass was limited, and as they gradually delved deeper into the crater, the temperature rose higher, Ling Chen dared not go further, as the hundreds of degrees might burn the body into ashes.
"Can't go further."
Having obtained three stalks of Divine Fla Grass, Ling Chen stopped, although the Divine Fla Grass was precious, there might be more of it deeper in the volcano, but one can't sacrifice their life for treasures.
"Hold on, don't rush to leave, there seems to be sothing down this volcano."
As Ling Chen was about to leave, suddenly, the Human Emperor's voice resonated in his mind.
"Sothing?"
Ling Chen paused, then his expression turned serious. Since the Human Emperor ntioned sothing, then there must be so extraordinary treasure here.
Yet the temperature is too high, unsure how to get in.
"Ling Chen, why stop here, hesitating to move forward?"
At this mont, Sima Linyuan approached.
"I have an intuition, there's treasure beneath this volcano."
Ling Chen said earnestly.
"Is that so?"
If it were anyone else, Sima Linyuan might ignore it, but since Ling Chen said so, he had to seriously consider it. As a peerless genius, Ling Chen's intuition is not ordinary, perhaps there truly is extraordinary treasure below.
