“I get four spirit herbs, but unfortunately, there is no Fire-Snake Orchid!”
Jiang Yi stood quietly in the magma, waiting for the next explosion. A moment later, he suddenly found that his soul spirit quiver slightly and faintly felt the aura of powerful martial artists. He mumbled dubiously, “Why haven’t She Fei and his group leave this time? It’s about to explode; why don’t they fear the magma now?”
“Do they get suspicious?”
Jiang Yi was 300 meters below the magma and couldn’t release his Divine Perception. He only faintly detected the aura of mighty martial artists by the Union of Heaven and Man. Therefore, he couldn’t decide exactly who were up there.
“What should I do?”
If he snatched the spirit herbs, he would be spurted up by the magma and detected by the people up there. It was very likely that his identity would be exposed, especially by Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing.
Gu! Gu!
The magma below began to surge again. Jiang Yi turned his eyes and had an idea. He quickly performed the Mirage Divine Ability, his appearance changed quickly. Red scales appeared on his body and a few horns appeared on his head. His eyes turned to triangular-shaped. He became a demonic beast. His aura changed greatly as well, with surging demonic presence. His aura was comparable to that of an ordinary Demon Sovereign.
“Another spirit herb!”
After Jiang Yi changed to a Demon Sovereign, the magma started to squirt as well. He turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed to the magma. Grabbing the spirit herb single-handedly, his body was washed up, too.
True enough—!
Once he was washed to the lake, Jiang Yi looked around and found She Fei and his group. However, She Fei only brought seven peak-stage Heaven Monarchs with him; they were all wearing a colossal skull. The other ordinary Heaven Monarchs didn’t dare to approach them.
On the other side, Yin Ruobing, Yi Chan, and Big Sister Xing were all present. Yi Chan’s red pagoda was still over there, she didn’t put it away. Clearly, Yi Chan and the rest hid in the pagoda which withstood the heat of the magma.
“This...”
Everyone was frightened by the human-shaped demonic beast that Jiang Yi turned into. The aura of the demonic beast was way too powerful—it was at least at the realm of Demon Sovereign. According to Ao Lu, the weakest Demon Sovereign was comparable to the five-star human martial expert. The stronger one would be comparable to Demigod. The group didn’t stand a chance against it.
“Young Master Fei, run!”
“Young mistresses, retreat!”
“Lady Yi, fall back!”
She Fei’s men, Big Sister Xing, and the others burst out shouting in horror and turned into streams of light, rushing to the magma lake. They were ready to risk their lives to stop the Demon Sovereign, so that She Fei, Yin Ruobing, and Yi Chan could run away.
She Fei was indeed scared. This was the Demon Sovereign. A giant skull above his head swayed and blocked the Demon Sovereign in front of him. He went back quickly and soon stopped, same for everyone else.
“Get lost!”
The Demon Sovereign in the magma lake only glanced at them coldly and left these two words, before going back to the magma.
The demons and humans were mortal enemies, especially for the descendants of the Nine Thearch Clans. A Demon Sovereign didn’t do anything to the clansmen of the Nine Thearch Clans. It was so unexpected that all of them didn’t know how to react for a while.
“Flee!”
They were stunned for a short time and soon turned around, running away. They dared not to stay any longer. Even Yi Chan put away her pagoda and fled into a distance. The aura of this Demon Sovereign was so horrible; Yi Chan was clearly aware that she would survive if she stayed around.
“Are they gone?”
After a while, Jiang Yi’s head sneaked out from the magma. He released his divine senses and grinned in satisfaction. he checked the place again and dove to the magma lake again, waiting for the next explosion.
...
“Something isn’t right...”
After running for dozens of kilometers, Yi Chan suddenly cried out. Yin Ruobing and the others stopped in suspicion. Big Sister Xing looked at Yi Chan and asked, “Lady Yi, what’s wrong? Let’s run farther, that Demon Sovereign is too scary!”
Yin Ruobing looked at Yi Chan’s sparkling eyes and realized something. She contemplated for a while and said, “Something is indeed wrong. Why is there a demonic beast in the Purgatory Ruin? There has never been any demonic beast in this place over the hundreds of thousands of years, let alone a Demon Sovereign! Even if there is, this ruin has been closed all the time. Does this Demon Sovereign live for over 700,000 years?”
“Absolutely no way!”
Yi Chan said with conviction, “This ruin is completely sealed. The demonic beasts recorded in history had a maximum lifespan of 10,000 years. The only demonic beast that lived more than 10,000 years is the Mystic Martial Turtle. That was definitely not a Demon Sovereign. Otherwise, we would already be dead.”
Big Sister Xing and rest looked at one another and felt that something was not right. The Demon Sovereign that didn’t kill people was stranger than a wolf that didn’t eat meat. If there was really a Demon Sovereign in this place, they should have heard of it before. The Yi Clansmen went in this Purgatory Ruin very often.
Therefore... it was highly likely that this was a faked Demon Sovereign!
Even though the group reached this conclusion, they looked at one another, and no one dared to go back. What if it was a real Demon Sovereign? They would be walking to their graves.
After a while, a determined look appeared in Yi Chan’s eyes. She said firmly, “Younger sister Ruobing, you go to search other places, I will go back to the magma lake.”
“Lady Yi!”
Big Sister Xing got anxious and showed an admired look. They were impressed by Yi Chan’s determination and courage. Not everyone could be so bold. After all, Yi Chan was not short of spirit herbs. The entire Purgatory Ruin belonged to the Yi Clan. She didn’t have to take the risks.
“I’m going with you!”
Yin Ruobing clenched his teeth and said. Big Sister Xing and her group trembled with fear. Yin Ruobing glanced at them determinedly and said, “The Nine Thearch Clans only have heroes that die in battles, none has members that chicken out in the face of danger.”
“Let’s go!”
Yi Chan glanced at Yin Ruobing, turned back, and rushed to the magma lake. Yin Ruobing quickly followed up. Big Sister Xing and the rest had no choice but go after her. They knew Yin Ruobing too well. She appeared to be kind to everyone and an easygoing person; deep down, she was very cold and stubborn. No one could change her opinions.
Yi Chan and Big Sister Xing led the way, the group rushed back to the magma lake again.
...
“This isn’t right!”
Almost at the same time, She Fei realized something was wrong, too. He waved his hand and gesticulate the crowd to stop. His eyes twinkled for a moment, he shouted, “Turn around, go back to the magma lake. We are fooled. It’s a faked Demon Sovereign!”
“This...”
The She Clansmen were shocked. One person tried to stop She Fei and said, “Young Master Fei, don’t be reckless. No matter whether it is real or not, we can’t take the risk. If anything happens to you, we all have to die with you.”
“Fool!”
She Fei gave this man a cold glance and bawled, “The Purgatory Ruin is completely sealed, with Demigod martial experts guarding outside. Demonic beasts can’t sneak in. Besides, have you seen any demonic beasts that don’t kill people?”
“It’s still too dangerous!”
A peak-stage Heaven Monarch said, “Young Master Fei, it’s not worthwhile. It’s just some spirit herbs—it is not worth the risk.”
“It’s not about the spirit herbs!”
She Fei waved his hands overbearingly and said, “Going into the Purgatory Ruin is an adventure. If I don’t even have the courage to take risks, why did we come here in the first place? We might as well stay in Evil Thearch Castle and sleep with the girls. Cut the crab—if you don’t go, I will!”
Swish!
She Fei turned back and flew towards the magma lake. With a giant skull clearing the way, all the astral winds were drawn by the skull. She Fei was completely safe on the back.
“Let’s go!”
The She Clansmen sighed. If She Fei died, they all had to die as well. They had no choice but to follow him to the magma lake.
