Chapter 247: The earth erupts in flames!
Hidden Huo City!
Yong Ji had been there before and knew its location. He said, "Hidden Huo City is too close to the Heart Sect. We should hide somewhere further away."
Mi Xiaojing said, "My people are in Hidden Huo City. I must take them with me when I leave."
Yong Ji said, "Alright, let's go now!"
Wang Weijun was speechless. He hadn't expected that after Mi Xiaojing saved Yong Ji, the latter would stay and even escort Mi Xiaojing away. With his protection, Mi Xiaojing was much safer.
This made Wang Weijun reflect. He had always been a loner, decisive and ruthless, treating lives as if they were worthless. Therefore, he had no friends in the Cultivation World, no disciples, and only used people without ever trusting them.
Years of habit had shaped Wang Weijun's character. After a brief thought, he put it aside. For him, trusting someone was too difficult. As a man who wielded a knife, how could he hand it over to someone else? Life and death must be in his own hands.
So, Wang Weijun's conclusion was that he didn't encourage saving people, but if Mi Xiaojing wanted to save them, he would let him!
"How do we get there?"
Mi Xiaojing looked around, not even sure of the direction.
Yong Ji said, "Follow me. We don't need to fly high, just stay close to the ground. This way, we don't need to guard against attacks from below."
From time to time, they could see flashes of battles erupting in the distance, along with shouts and explosions carried by the wind. The entire Heart Sect was in chaos. Many of the nine peaks had been captured, forcing the cultivators hidden within to come out and fight.
The two of them flew close to the ground, one after the other, leaving the main peak and heading towards the outskirts.
Just as they reached a valley, the whole world seemed to shake. Then the main peak began to tremble violently, and a dull thunderous sound came from underground.
Yong Ji and Mi Xiaojing couldn't help but look back.
Suddenly, Yong Ji grabbed Mi Xiaojing and shouted, "Fly up!"
The two of them quickly ascended. Before Mi Xiaojing could understand what was happening, the ground cracked like shattered porcelain. In an instant, countless cracks appeared, and the entire ground broke apart.
Steam burst out from the cracks, forcing countless cultivators into the sky. For a moment, the sky was filled with people, which made Mi Xiaojing's heart pound.
It was as if a thunderbolt had rolled across the ground, like a summer thunderstorm tearing across the sky. The thunderous sound echoed from east to west. It wasn't a thunderbolt from the sky, but from the ground.
The sound was heart-shaking. No one launched an attack, they all just stared blankly at the ground.
Crack! Crack!
The continuous sound of breaking echoed. No one understood what had happened underground to cause such a violent reaction.
Those who could fly were all in the sky. No one dared to stay on the ground. Of course, if you couldn't fly at this time, it would be a real tragedy. Everyone could see that at the lowest point of the Heart Sect, a large lake suddenly disappeared. A large amount of steam rose, forming a thick white fog.
Suddenly, a earth-shattering explosion sounded, and a stream of red magma spewed out. The cultivators hovering above the lake were like a scattered group of rats, frantically fleeing. Even so, many were too slow to escape and were directly hit by the magma, screaming as they fell.
All the peaks were shaking. Mi Xiaojing pointed at the main peak in horror and exclaimed, "Look! Look!"
The main peak seemed to swell, the entire waist of the mountain bulging out like an unreal image. In an instant, the entire main peak exploded.
The explosion was like a Deadly Thousand Thunder exploding, the huge roar almost deafening Mi Xiaojing. The flying rocks, soil, and shattered trees were like countless arrows, sweeping across the cultivators hovering nearby, taking out large swathes of them.
Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji were far away, and even if the shattered rocks shot towards them, they were knocked down by Yong Ji. The two of them kept retreating, their faces full of shock as they watched the main peak collapse.
Then, another huge explosion sounded. The top of the main peak that had fallen also exploded completely, forming a mushroom cloud of dust and smoke that rose into the sky.
"My God..."
Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded, and Yong Ji was also staring blankly. All the cultivators, as long as they were hovering in the air, were too shocked to speak.
Yong Ji grabbed Mi Xiaojing's arm, his hand trembling violently. The sound of tearing cloth rang out, and in an instant, a huge stream of red magma shot out like a fountain.
Mi Xiaojing had sharp eyes. He saw several black dots shoot up before the magma erupted, their speed even faster than the magma.
Yong Ji also noticed. They were the elders of the Elemental Infant stage from the sect, as well as the experts from the Vast Gold Sect. They had all escaped.Mi Xiaojing had seen these experts fight in the Mysterious Heaven Formation, so he could easily identify them.
A red cloud enveloped Brahman Sa and Yin Jin, while Radix Notoginseng was shimmering with a golden glow. Yu Hong also flew out, wrapped in Sword Light.
An even more astonishing scene was a man roaring out from the magma. With a simple grasp, he dragged down a member of the Vast Gold Sect, Oni, into the magma. He then punched, directly exploding the body.
Oni's Elemental Infant had just flown out when it was crushed by the man.
Wang Weijun exclaimed in horror, "A Body Fusion stage expert!"
The man didn't utter a word. Suddenly, he spread his hands, and the previously erupting magma coalesced into a fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Zheng Tong.
All the cultivators were scared silly. Someone screamed, and like a ladle of hot water poured on a beehive, all the cultivators started to flee in panic.
Radix Notoginseng's face turned pale. He couldn't imagine that breaking open a secret room would reveal such a powerful expert. And the moment the secret room was opened, he understood something.
This man was suppressing the earth fire magma!
He was actually sitting on top of the fire eye, and they had disturbed him. Instantly, the earth fire became unbalanced and erupted violently, making the man incredibly angry.
Thousand Poisons ran faster than a rabbit. When the magma erupted, he used the force to shoot out directly.
The most unlucky one was Mo Chentian. A huge force squeezed over, and coupled with his previous injuries, he didn't react in time and was buried underneath. Azure Descent Immortal Maiden reached out to rescue him but was held back. Both of them didn't have time to escape and were left underground, their fate unknown. Only Yu Hong and Mu Hengyuan managed to escape.
On the other side, Xu Zhongqing escaped the fastest, followed by Thousand Poisons, then Radix Notoginseng and Zheng Tong.
The last one to come out was Oni. Her cultivation level was the weakest and she was the first to be caught by the man. With just one strike, not even her Elemental Infant was left!
