Chapter 281 Crisis in the Secret Realm
Half an hour later, Ming Cang returned with heavy steps, looking preoccupied.
He gathered everyone from Peach Blossom Valley together and said in a loud voice, "Get ready, the ancient battlefield secret realm is about to open."
Upon hearing the news, Yu Qianling jumped off the side of the boat, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement, and said, "It's finally starting! I can't wait any longer!"
Looking at everyone's expressions, Ming Cang smiled slightly and said seriously, "When we go in to seize treasures and opportunities this time, we must pay utmost attention to safety."
"If you are able, you should also help others appropriately to minimize the casualties among your disciples."
Upon hearing this, Du Jiaoxi's eyes showed worry, and she said, "Sect Leader, you want to maintain harmony for the sake of the overall situation... but they may not necessarily welcome us."
Ming Cang smiled faintly and said, "Just now, all the sects reached an agreement that if any sect is found to have done anything to harm its allies, it will be severely punished afterward!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and began to prepare in an orderly manner. Sure enough, in no time, the elders of the Immortal Alliance opened the entrance to the secret realm.
"Disciples, advance!"
...
As everyone passed through the portal, they felt as if they were being pulled by a force, and the whole world spun before their eyes, as if they had been thrown into a giant vortex.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of heat suddenly hit us, the sweltering heat making us feel suffocated and the oppressive heat making us panic.
Ye Luo used all her strength to steady herself, gently landed, and looked around to find that she had been teleported to a cave. All around her was crimson lava, like a burning sea of fire.
He stood on a scorching hot rock, with churning lava at his feet, a sight that inspired awe.
Suddenly, a sharp wail shattered the deathly silence of the cave, "Damn it, damn it, it's burning me!"
Upon hearing the wail, Ye Luo immediately looked toward the source of the sound.
There was a male disciple from Xuanwu Palace, whose entire body was engulfed in flames. His robes were instantly burned to ashes, revealing his skin covered in burns.
"This lava is quite poisonous, everyone should be careful." At this moment, Yu Qianling looked around, jumped up and said seriously, "Senior Brother, I'll go scout ahead first."
"Alright, be careful." Nan Muyin led the people of Peach Blossom Valley across the churning lava pit beneath their feet and slowly flew towards a safe place.
"Aaaaaah—!"
Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the cave, making everyone's heart leap.
The female disciple of the Illusionary Sound Sect had inexplicably fallen into the lava. Her once exquisite and peerless face was burned beyond recognition by the eerie lava, and she fell silent shortly afterward.
"What's going on?! Fly out here right now!"
Upon seeing this, Shi Yi panicked. He was about to jump over and rescue her when he discovered that she had already sunk into the lava and never resurfaced.
"Hmm?" Du Jiaoxi also noticed the anomaly in the lava, a hint of doubt and wariness flashing in her eyes. After a moment, she warned sharply, "Shi Yi, get out of there immediately!!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's heart tightened. He immediately jumped off the rock he was standing on. With a loud 'bang', a gaping maw attacked the rock.
This sudden change shocked everyone, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
"Damn, what is that thing?!"
"It looks like a python!"
"Aaaaaah—!"
"Help! There are some over here too! Ahh, help me—!"
At the bottom of the lava, the pythons that had been lurking suddenly launched a fierce attack, and cries for help immediately filled the cave.
The sudden appearance of these pythons caught everyone off guard, and a sense of panic quickly spread throughout the cave.
Nan Muyin instantly calmed down and shouted to the people in Peach Blossom Valley, "We must find a way to jump to the other side and get out of this lava quickly!"
After saying that, he held his sword and suddenly swung out several sword beams, killing the pythons that came to attack them one by one.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Luo leaped to the opposite bank. She then immediately waved her sleeve, setting up a defensive magic array, and shouted to the crowd, "Come in quickly!"
Upon hearing Ye Luo's shout, everyone rushed into his defensive formation, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Hearing the wails coming from all around, Xiao Huan's face turned deathly pale. "How come there are so many... Have we fallen into a snake pit?!"
Du Jiaoxi explained, "This seems to be a two-headed demonic flame python, which usually inhabits lava areas and appears to be a social beast..."
"Living in groups?!" Upon hearing this word, Xiao Huan's legs went weak with fear. "I... I'm terrified of snakes..."
At this moment, the cave was in complete chaos. Du Jiaoxi looked at Shi Yi, who was being held back, and couldn't help but feel anxious. She shouted, "Hanzi! Run this way!"
"Okay!" Shi Yi agreed, but he couldn't get away from her at all, which made her very anxious.
"Idiot!" Du Jiaoxi cursed, leaping out of the magic array erected by Ye Luo and charging towards Shi Yi in the distance with her magic weapon.
“This won’t work. The people from each sect are too scattered. They can be easily defeated one by one.” Ye Luo took out some rocket launchers and spirit stones and tossed them to Xiao Huan and the others, saying, “You guys provide ranged support for them.”
"Alright, as long as you don't let me out..." Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately set up the rocket launcher with Feng Yue and the others, quickly aiming at the Flame Python inside the magma.
With each shell providing cover, many people managed to escape to the other side, while some who were further away were still fighting to the death.
"Huh?" Ye Luo looked in the direction Feng Yue was attacking and said anxiously, "Fourth Senior Brother, where are you attacking? Aim for Third Senior Sister and Du Jiaoxi!"
"Qing, Qingyu...they're surrounded!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo followed his gaze and saw that Qing Yu and several disciples of the Illusionary Sound Sect were being besieged by three Flame Pythons and were trapped on a rock in a very critical situation.
"This won't do...I have to go save him!"
"Save you my foot!" Ye Luo pulled him back and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to expose your demonic powers?"
Feng Yue was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "How...how did you know?"
A glint of light flashed in Ye Luo's eyes, and she said calmly, "I sensed it."
He asked Feng Yue again, "Do we really have to go and save them?"
Feng Yue nodded rapidly without saying a word. Seeing this, Ye Luo's lips curled up slightly, and she chuckled, "So it was him..."
At this moment, Feng Yue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, completely unable to listen to what he was saying, and looked at Qing Yu in danger with a heart-pounding expression.
"Alright, you stay here and provide support from afar." Ye Luo chuckled, patted Cen Feng on the shoulder, and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, come with me to rescue them!"
"Alright! Senior Brother, let's go!" Cen Feng said, leaping up and quickly following Ye Luo to provide support.
By the time Nan Muyin realized what was happening, Ye Luo and Cen Feng had already run far away, which startled him greatly. "You two little brats, you better watch out!"
