"Junior Brother Ye, you really shouldn't have come. Why don't you lie and say you're not feeling well, and I can speak up for you. With me here, Zhao Yingjie won't be able to cover up everything!" Li Qingyan then said through telepathic communication.
Ye Feng transmitted his thoughts and said, "Forget it. Now that I've joined our sect, I should naturally share the sect's burdens and solve its problems. Besides, I've already agreed to go, how can I go back on my word?"
"If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Senior Sister Qiu after she comes out of seclusion," Li Qingyan said with a wry smile.
"This is my own decision, and no matter what the outcome, it has nothing to do with you, Senior Sister Li," Ye Feng said earnestly.
Since Ye Feng had already said so much, Li Qingyan had no choice but to nod and say no more.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yingjie was encouraging his disciples at the scene.
"Fellow disciples, although this mission is extremely difficult, how can we, as martial artists, fear danger? Moreover, once the mission is completed, the rewards will be very generous! Everyone present will receive five thousand merit points, or even more!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples in the hall were all very excited.
Five thousand good deeds may not sound like much, but they are actually very difficult to accumulate.
Because good deeds are needed to exchange for pills and other items within the sect.
Therefore, most of the merit points earned by disciples of the Lingshui Sect from completing tasks are used to exchange for various spiritual pills. This is the main reason why it is so difficult for outer disciples to advance to inner disciples, even though there are many tasks in the Merit Hall and a lot of merit points can be earned from completing them.
Therefore, the reward of five thousand good deeds is absolutely very generous!
"If you all perform exceptionally well, you might even be noticed by the Dharma Protectors and Elders and taken in as their personal disciples! So, I won't say anything more. Everyone must work together to complete this mission!" Zhao Yingjie said emphatically.
"We will do everything in our power!"
"That's right!"
The disciples present spoke one after another.
Li Qingyan clapped her hands and said, "Alright, everyone, quiet down. Although the rewards for the mission are generous, the mission is also very dangerous. So everyone must be careful after you go to Changsheng Island Volcano. Don't joke with your lives... Now I will distribute fire-repelling talismans to everyone. After using the fire-repelling talisman, you can be guaranteed not to be burned by flames and lava for three hours."
After saying that, Li Qingyan distributed the fire-repelling talismans to the disciples in the hall.
Ye Feng naturally also obtained the Fire-Repelling Talisman.
"Is everything ready?" Zhao Yingjie asked.
"Ready!"
"no problem!"
The disciples present all spoke up.
"Then let's set off now!" As soon as Zhao Yingjie finished speaking, he led the group out.
Li Qingyan immediately came over and left Shan Gong Hall with Ye Feng.
After leaving the Good Deeds Hall, the group of twelve took to the air and flew towards the Longevity Island.
Half an hour later, Ye Feng, Li Qingyan, and the others flew to the top of the central volcano on Changsheng Island.
The volcano was covered with black rocks, which were naturally formed from the solidified lava that had erupted the night before.
At this moment, the volcano did not erupt, but thick smoke was billowing out of the crater, and the smell was very pungent.
"Now use the fire-repelling talisman and follow me inside!" Zhao Yingjie shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yingjie applied the Fire-Repelling Talisman to his body. A wave of light immediately surged from the talisman and adhered to Zhao Yingjie's skin.
The other disciples followed suit and used the fire-repelling talisman.
After all preparations were complete, Zhao Yingjie took the lead and entered the volcano, with the other disciples naturally following closely behind.
Li Qingyan stayed close to Ye Feng the whole time, afraid that Ye Feng would leave her sight.
Zhao Yingjie turned around and glanced at Li Qingyan, who was closely following Ye Feng, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Li, you care so much about Junior Brother Ye?"
“Junior Brother Ye was introduced to the sect by Senior Sister Qiu, so of course I care about him,” Li Qingyan said without any politeness.
Zhao Yingjie sneered, "Then there's no need for close protection, is there? People who don't know the situation might think that Senior Sister Li has taken a liking to Junior Brother Ye!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Qingyan said angrily.
The temperature inside the volcano is very high. Looking down, you can see a sea of fire below, with crimson magma churning and surging at the bottom of the inferno.
Zhao Yingjie, Li Qingyan, and Ye Feng began to descend, heading towards the lava.
Suddenly, a disciple exclaimed, "Look! The volcanic lava seems to be receding. Does this mean the eruption has ended and there won't be another one?"
Zhao Yingjie said, "Regardless of whether the volcano will erupt again, since we're here, we definitely need to use the Cold Water Ice Pearl to cool it down. Otherwise, would our mission be considered a failure or a success?"
“Brother Zhao is right. We can’t start something and then fizzle it out,” Wang Hongdong said immediately.
The disciple then shut his mouth and remained silent.
But another disciple suddenly shouted, "Look! It looks like something has been revealed after the lava fell!"
So Zhao Yingjie, Li Qingyan, and the others all looked down.
The lava and sea of fire slowly descended, revealing a series of caves, which were crooked and twisted, like ant holes.
In reality, each of those caves was large enough to accommodate several people coming and going.
"I never imagined that there would be such a unique underground structure inside the central volcano of Changsheng Island. It's truly astonishing," Zhao Yingjie remarked.
"Let's not cause trouble. There might be danger in those caves. Let's not go in," Li Qingyan said.
"Senior Sister Li, you're such a coward," Zhao Yingjie mocked.
"I just don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble," Li Qingyan said coldly.
As soon as Li Qingyan finished speaking, the volcano suddenly trembled, and the magma below began to churn even more violently.
What's going on?
"Is the volcano about to erupt? Were we wrong?"
Watch out overhead! There are falling rocks!
The volcano did not erupt, but the tremors caused large rocks to fall from above in a dense, rain-like shower!
Upon seeing this, all nine disciples, including Wang Hongdong, were terrified, their faces changing drastically, while only Ye Feng remained unmoved.
Li Qingyan screamed, "Be careful and take precautions!"
Bang!
A large rock fell from the sky and hit a female disciple. She immediately let out a scream and fell downwards.
Li Qingyan wanted to save the person, but another large rock came crashing down on her.
Left with no other choice, Li Qingyan had to hide first, as preserving her own life was the most important thing.
