Chapter 406: Fear In The Hearts
The chubby young girl was still fighting fiercely but this time, she was not fighting for the Red Flag anymore, she was fighting for her life.
It was at this moment when the entire Land of Ice and Fire trembled fiercely. It was as if a heavy earthquake suddenly appeared, shaking the entire Land of Ice and Fire to the core.
"What is going on?" A look of confusion appeared in the eyes of Huang Daniu as he asked. He could not understand why the entire Land of Ice and Fire just trembled?
As if Wu Cheng thought of something his face changed dramatically. He said, "I think... I think it is the time of the eruption of h.e.l.l Flame."
"What?"
Both Ta Mu and Huang Daniu exclaimed as they could not calm down anymore. The eruption of h.e.l.l Flame only happens every 1000 years and they knew that the h.e.l.l Flame would erupt very soon but still, they didn"t expect the h.e.l.l Flame to erupt so soon.
According to their estimation and calculation, there should be another 1 month of time before the eruption of the h.e.l.l Flame. This was also the reason why they didn"t hesitate to hold the compet.i.tion in the Land of Ice and Fire.
At first, they only thought of using the name "h.e.l.l Flame" to scare the partic.i.p.ants so that they could give their all and search for the 10 Flags. There was no time limit of this compet.i.tion and scaring the partic.i.p.ants could at least save them a few days as the partic.i.p.ants of this compet.i.tion would give their best.
Now that the eruption of the h.e.l.l Flame was about to occur, their heart could not help but palpitate heavily.
There were still more than 80 partic.i.p.ants alive and were searching for the flags inside the Land of Ice and Fire. All these partic.i.p.ants were the geniuses of their generation and core disciples of their corresponding sects.
It has to know that the sect they belong to were all the First Levelled Sects. Just this label of "First Levelled Sect" was enough to describe the potential of their disciples, not to mention that the disciples stuck inside the Land of Ice and Fire were the core disciples of their sects.
Wu Cheng sighed and said, "The h.e.l.l Flame is about to erupt. All the partic.i.p.ants in the Land of Ice and Fire are in great danger. Prepare to open the s.p.a.ce channel and transport all the partic.i.p.ants back."
Ta Mu said, "We can not do that. If we did this, we will be unable to select the last two candidates to partic.i.p.ate in the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad Worlds."
Huang Daniu thought something before he gave his suggestion, "We can do one thing. Considering the fact that the young man named Ye Xiao and the young girl named Xu Feiyi, both of them are closest to the flags, we can select them as the last two candidates to partic.i.p.ate in the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad World. No one should disagree as all of us could see they are the closest one to get their hands on the flags!"
Wu Cheng and Ta Mu fell in thought for a while before Ta Mu again said, "We can not do that either. Let"s pa.s.s Ye Xiao. He is not injured in the slightest and the performance he has shown till now is enough to show his potential and the fact that he could easily defeat the Man-Demon Ice Horse."
"But that young girl, she is already very injured and in a very disadvantageous position right now. What is more, it is already very clear that she could not defeat the Fire Demon. No one will agree to let her become one of the ten candidates to partic.i.p.ate in the Compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds."
Upon hearing this, the Ta Mu and Wu Cheng again fell into deep thought.
The First thing was they could not let all the partic.i.p.ants die inside the Land of Ice and Fire no matter what. h.e.l.l Flame is an extremely terrifying existence that could devour all kinds of life. It is a clear fact whenever and wherever the h.e.l.l Flame appears, all life will cease to exist.
What is more, the h.e.l.l Flame that erupts in the Land of Fire is not limited to only Land of Fire, it would spread all the way to the Land of Ice before devouring all life of the Land of Ice and Fire.
Because of this, even the partic.i.p.ants on the Land of Ice are not safe. All of their lives were in great danger right now.
After thinking for a while, Wu Cheng said, "It is clear that we could not let all the partic.i.p.ants die this easily. According to my calculation, there is still one day of time left before the eruption of the h.e.l.l Flame. Other than Ye Xiao and Xu Fieyi, let"s save all other partic.i.p.ants right now."
"As for the two of them, we"ll not interfere with them. Although it is unfair, but there is no such thing called "fair" in this world. Only the strong people are qualified to hold their head high up and weak people are only to bow their heads in front of strong people."
"Let their fate decide the outcome. If before the eruption of the h.e.l.l Flame, they could get their hands on the flags, they will already be safe at that time. But if they can not, then we will immediately open the s.p.a.ce channel to teleport the two of them out."
Ta Mu and Huang Daniu, both agreed with Wu Cheng this time. They knew what he said was correct. There was no such thing as fairness in this world. But even so, Ta Mu still found it difficult to agree with something and said, "I"ll not say anything about Ye Xiao but Xu Feiyi is clearly in a very perilous situation right now. She is on the verge of collapsing. That Fire Demon can kill her anytime soon. If we were to transport out every partic.i.p.ant other than those two, we have to at least help her out by doing something, right?"
"Sigh! Ta Mu, you know we are judges of this compet.i.tion. We can not help them no matter what?" Wu Cheng said.
Huang Daniu thought of something and said, "Let"s do this. We will open the s.p.a.ce channel to transport everyone out and at the same time, send a High-Grade Immortal Rank healing pill to that girl, Xu Feiyi. She could instantly recover from her injuries and even recover half of her lost spirit energy. This should be enough to make up for not teleporting her out immediately. How about it?"
"This is foolishness!" Wu Cheng sighed and continue to say, "We can not do that. I"ll say again, we are the judges of this compet.i.tion and we have o right to help any partic.i.p.ant in any way. If we are going to teleport the partic.i.p.ants out, let"s teleport all of them out at once. As for the last two candidates, we will do as brother Huang said. We"ll select Ye Xiao and Xu Feiyi as the last two candidates, after all, they are the closest people to the flag."
The discussion between the three of them continued for another fifteen or so minutes. They finally supported the decision made by Wu Cheng and agreed to teleport all the partic.i.p.ants out together, including Ye Xiao and Xu Feiyi.
Since they were the ones giving out a helping hand, they decided to be fair with all the partic.i.p.ants. No one was going to be an exception, not even Ye Xiao and Xu Feiyi.
Upon making the decision, the three of them started preparing to open the s.p.a.ce channel to teleport every disciple out of the Land of Ice and Fire and save them from the h.e.l.l Flame.
Before opening the s.p.a.ce Channel, they talked with all the sect leaders of various First Levelled Sects. Some of them opposed but the majority of them agreed with the three judges" decision.
After receiving the agreement from the majority of the sect leaders, Wu Cheng, Ta Mu, and Huang Daniu started opening the s.p.a.ce Channel.
.....
_Inside The Land Of Ice And Fire_
All the partic.i.p.ants were in shock and were terrified when the entire Land of Ice and Fire shook heavily. The shaking of the Land of Ice and Fire continued for whole fifteen minutes before the appearance of peace once again.
Although the partic.i.p.ants could not understand what was going on and they didn"t know the situation they were in, their instinct still told them that they were not out of danger right now. All of them tried to calm down their terrified hearts and continued to search for the flags.
It was at this moment when intense fluctuation of energy suddenly appeared in front of everyone and this fluctuation continued to grow stronger and stronger.
The partic.i.p.ants had calmed down their hearts with great difficulty but upon witnessing this scene, the fear in their hearts intensified and their hearts trembled once again because of fear.
