Chapter 911: Lava Lake

“I can’t, Young Lady, I can’t take it anymore!”

When it was over ten miles away from Lava Lake, one of the weaker Yin clansmen didn’t dare to move forward anymore. Her entire dress was drenched, and Jiang Yi could see the outline of her ample buttocks from behind. Her entire body was devoid of all energy, and it seemed as though she was breathing out white smoke.

Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing’s bodies were also drenched with sweat, and they were also panting. Due to the hurried breaths, the peaks on their chest were slightly trembling, and Jiang Yi nearly had a nosebleed from the scene.

Jiang Yi wasn’t doing well either. He was still able to endure right now, entirely because of his powerful willpower and because his divine shield could isolate some of the high heat. This Lava Lake was obviously different from the lava in a volcano as the temperature was at least a few times hotter.

“If you cannot take it, then retreat 20 miles and wait for me!”

Yin Ruobing waved her hand. Seven of the ladies instantly felt a burden lifted off while the remaining three peak-stage Heaven Monarchs didn’t dare to retreat. After all, they were responsible for Yin Ruobing’s safety.

Yin Ruobing took a glance at Jiang Yi and said, “Young Master Bai Yi, if you cannot endure it, you can also retreat and wait for me. Don’t worry, I will fulfill the thing I promised you. As long as I can find the Earth Star Lotus and the Fire Snake Orchid, I will hand them over to you!”

Jiang Yi grinned and said, “I can still continue. I will back off if I truly cannot go on.”

“Let’s go!”

Yi Chan waved her hand, and everyone advanced again. After advancing three miles later, the astral winds got lesser, but the temperature got higher. Yi Chan stopped, took a glance at Jiang Yi, and said, “Scout ahead.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged. He extended his Divine Perception, and after searching the surroundings, he quickly opened his eyes and said, “Some people are coming from the east, around 30 miles away. It is Young Master She Fei, and he brought along twenty men.”

“Let’s go!”

Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing took out a green elixir at the same time and consumed it. Big Sister Xing and the others had also taken out a green elixir to consume. Everyone immediately stopped sweating, and they advanced like rainbows with rapid speed while no longer bothering Jiang Yi.

“What is this elixir? It can actually grant immunity to fire?”

Jiang Yi was silently amazed, but he didn’t retreat. He scouted with his Divine Perception again, secretly took out the Fire Spirit Pearl, and rushed towards the other side of the Lava Lake.

She Fei had arrived unexpectedly, and he was rather concerned. If the Fire Snake Orchid had been snatched by She Fei, this trip would be a wasted one. Hence, he couldn’t put the hope on Yin Ruobing. In a helpless situation, he would risk exposing himself to obtain the Fire Snake Orchid as Princess Qianqian was waiting for the Fire Snake Orchid to save her life.

With the Fire Spirit Pearl, Jiang Yi no longer felt the high temperature, and he was able to travel without any fear as there was a scarce amount of astral winds in the nearby vicinity of the Lava Lake. His body sprinted to the north like a spirit fox, and after he detoured everyone for over ten miles, he then rushed towards the Lava Lake.

The Lava Lake was huge, and it was at least 30 miles in radius. Yi Chan and the others were at the east, She Fei and his men would probably arrive at the west while Jiang Yi headed to the north of the Lava Lake.

Because he didn’t have to bother about the high temperature, his speed was much faster than everyone. After all, Yi Chan and the others didn’t dare to sprint too fast as they were afraid their divine shields might be scorched by the high heat.

He was hiding behind a boulder in the north of the Lava Lake and had entered the Union of Heaven and Man state. At the same time, he was scanning with his Divine Perception and checking out the situation.

The Lava Lake was in tranquility, and there was nothing. There were no spirit herbs either. Yi Chan and the others were hiding behind a large rock in the east. They had consumed some elixir and actually couldn’t feel a trace of heat. They had calm expressions and were locking their eyes at the center of the Lava Lake and seemingly waiting for something.

On the other side, She Fei and the others were arriving soon. She Fei was already formidable, and he was leading a lot of peak stage Heaven Monarchs. They must also have the fire immunity elixir as they were completely unafraid of the high temperature.

“Where is the Fire Snake Orchid?”

Jiang Yi was silently bewildered. Since Yi Chan and the others weren’t moving, he naturally didn’t dare to move and was quietly waiting. He was several miles away from Yi Chan, and with the limits of the divine senses, no one should be able to spot him. Even if someone had a special ability to find him, he didn’t care as the Fire Snake Orchid was of utmost importance.

Time ticked by, and She Fei and his men had finally arrived. They didn’t make any reckless move either and simply hid in a small valley at the west of the lake. Many of their divine senses were locked onto the Lava Lake.

Jiang Yi no longer paid attention to them. As he was afraid someone might possess a special ability to find him, he used his Divine Perception to scan the Lava Lake multiple times and search for the Fire Snake Orchid.

The lava in this lake was indeed different from the lava in volcanoes. The lava here could isolate divine senses, and Jiang Yi’s Divine Perception could only scan 30 meters into the lava. If he was to go deeper, he could only feel nothing but darkness, and it was when he was releasing the Divine Perception in the Union of Heaven and Man state.

“Gu, Gu, Gu~”

All of a sudden, the center of the Lava Lake started to bubble, and the lava gradually surged. Jiang Yi got invigorated a quickly scanned the surroundings with his Divine Perception. Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, She Fei, and the others had all moved. They didn’t rush towards the lava in the lake; they were backing off instead and retreating several miles with speed.

“What’s happening now?”

Jiang Yi was at a loss as he didn’t know if he should continue to stay or to retreat?

Bang!

Soon enough, he understood why everyone was retreating. A giant fire tongue burst out in the center of the Lava Lake which splattered the surrounding lava into the sky. There was a lava rain, and Jiang Yi’s body had been drenched by the lava.

Chi! Chi!

His divine shield instantly ruptured, but he was lucky to have the Fire Spirit Pearl and didn’t suffer any injury. He was also silently rejoicing as it was lava that had been spurted out. Had it been some other horrific things that were spurted out, he would probably be dead right now.

“En? That is…”

Jiang Yi’s reaction was very fast. He didn’t bother about the lava which covered his entire body as he extended his Divine Perception and noticed Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing making a move at the same time. She Fei also led his men and flew over like a sharp sword. Everyone’s eyes were locked onto a fiery-red lotus flower which was spurted out with the lava.

“Is that the Earth Star Lotus?”

Jiang Yi didn’t move. He had the drawing of the Fire Snake Orchid, and this wasn’t the Fire Snake Orchid. He didn’t bother fighting for it. His Divine Perception locked onto the people and watched them fight.

“Hahaha, Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, you two Young Ladies are also here? Many apologies, this Earth Star Lotus is mine!”

She Fei stepped on a giant skull and flew over like a rainbow. Behind him, seven other peak-stage Heaven Monarchs acted at the same time. They merely caused the spatial zone to fluctuation and prevent Yi Chan and the others from approaching. They didn’t dare to make any killing move.

“Hmph, She Fei. On what basis? You are not qualified!”

Yi Chan let out a snort while her hand danced with thunderbolts before they turned into a thunder light and were shot at the seven peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. It shocked the seven individuals so much that they retreated frantically. Sister Xing’s dull yellow divine shield radiated as she blocked in front of Yin Ruobing. A small red bow appeared in Yin Ruobing’s hand as she shot it at She Fei who was about to obtain the Earth Star Lotus.

A red light flashed and appeared in front of She Fei which forced him to withdraw his arm with fear. He grabbed the giant skull under his feet and blocked it in front of his body and cursed out. “God-Shooter Bow? Yin Ruobing, you are ruthless!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two peak stage Heaven Monarchs behind Sister Xing made their move at the same time. With the addition of Yi Chan, they were locked in an intense fight with She Fei and the seven peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. The horrific attacks were blasted at the layers of lava below, and the original lake with tranquility was now violently raging with giant waves.

“Go!”

A black glove appeared in Yi Chan’s hand which instantly grabbed the falling Earth Star Lotus with excessively fast speed. Yi Chan shot out a few more thunder lights and waved her hand. “Retreat!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Yin Ruobing drew her bow and shot out a few more red lights, forcing She Fei and the others to go defensive again. Immediately after, Sister Xing intercepted at the front, allowing everyone to retreat with ease.

“Hahaha!”

The Earth Star Lotus had been snatched, but She Fei wasn’t angry as he was laughing heartily. The corner of his mouth trembled with evil qi as he beckoned his hand, indicating for everyone to stop chasing. He then yelled out, “You two ladies are highly skilled, and She Fei is convinced. But… I will be taking all the spirit herbs that will appear later on!”
