Rooted in the Magma
The red-clothed lady squinted her eyes.
“Seems like you are quite knowledgeable. However, how dare you b.u.t.t in even after knowing about it?”
The red-clothed lady looked contemptuous, totally disregarding Yu Jingfan and the others. Except for Yu Jingfan, the others’ cultivation realm were all so low that she could even kill them in a flash. Being the eighth host of the Red-Clothed Thirteen House, Hong Yan was extremely confident in herself. Although they were both at the Half-step Divine King Realm, she knew that Yu Jingfan was not her match. Yu Jingfan had just advanced, on the other hand, she had been a Half-step Divine King for more than a hundred years.
One could easily tell who was superior even without thinking too much.
“You know the reason why we are here as well. If one doesn’t dare to step in here, how could he talk about fighting for the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart. I believe that you have already stayed at the Wu Dong Sunset Mountain for a long while, so you should know that we won’t just leave without getting anything. Lady, are you so naive to think that we will take a step back after arriving here?”
Yu Jingfan remained silent after speaking those words, looking cold but fearless. He stared at Hong Yan without blinking his eyes.
“You’re forcing me to take action now but I am afraid that you don’t have the capability to deal with my attack.”
Hong Yan smiled coldly and took action immediately. She was filled with soaring anger, sending out a palm strike. Yu Jingfan was shocked but was able to remain calm. In an instant, he countered Hong Yan’s attack with his blazing sword. At the next moment, Hong Yan turned around and stared at Yu Jingfan. She started feeling solemn because she never expected that this guy would be this powerful. It was really startling. Although he just broke through to the Half-step Divine King Realm, he was already capable of fighting her.
Hong Yan was going to test his true colour. If they were almost at the same level of strength, of course she would not take any action at this moment because that would only let others take the advantage while they were fighting.
“I am going to see how far you can go. Hehehe.”
Hong Yan turned her body around and her smile was filled with ridicule and contempt. It was not the moment for her to take any action yet.
“Haha, it looks really lively here. I thought I was late but it seems like I am actually not.”
A red-haired man appeared in the volcanic cave with another Jade-faced Spiritual Fox. A white-haired man stood beside him closely. Both of them released the aura of a Half-step Divine King. Their strength definitely could not be underestimated.
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes, realizing that they were not the first to find the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart.
“Eighth Lady, it has been a while since we last met. I hope you’re doing well. Haha. I really miss you all these days.”
The red-haired young man said in an equivocal tone.
“I can’t believe that even the master of Eight Lineages Silver River is interested in the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart too?”
Hong Yan’s eyes looked solemn as the two men were not simple figures. In the past, these men, who are followers of the master of Eight Lineages Silver River, came out from Tian Qi Mountain Range to send their birthday wishes to her house master before. They had met once before. These two were one of the four great guardians of the Eight Lineages Silver River. This showed that the master of Eight Lineages Silver River must be really determined to get the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart.
“Of course, our master loves the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart, otherwise, he would not order us to come here. He would’ve come here herself if our young master is not holding a wedding right now. If that was the case, who could compete with her for the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart? It’s the treasure of the Tian Qi Mountain Range, so it belongs to the Eight Lineages Silver River. Don’t you agree with me, Eighth Lady?”
The second great guardian, Fei Ying, squinted his eyes and looked at Hong Yan. He also scanned through Jiang Chen and the others quickly, but he was not afraid of any of them at all. For him, the hardest person to deal with was Hong Yan, the eighth master of the house.
“It’s the treasure of nature as it was born from nature. Since when has it become the thing that belongs to the Eight Lineages Silver River? Hahaha. What a joke! What a coincidence that it’s our house masters’ birthday soon and our master really wants the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart as well. Don’t you think that you should show your kindness and give me a chance to get it”
“You definitely are joking. It’s a treasure and whoever is capable would of course get it with their own capability. How about let’s see who is going to get it at the end?”
The third guardian Xiong Zhan said loudly, obviously their conversation has come to an end.
Hong Yan shrugged her shoulder, looking extremely s.e.xy and seductive.
“Those who are irrelevant to our business, get out of here immediately! Otherwise, I will kill everyone here.”
Xiong Zhan said ruthlessly while looking at Yu Jingfan. He knew that it would bring them no benefits at all if he took action now because Yu Jingfan was also a Half-step Divine King. It was not that easy to kill a Half-step Divine King.
“Thanks for reminding me.”
Yu Jingfan smiled faintly while looking completely calm. Even though the great guardians were present, they could not do anything to scare them off because everyone was greatly tempted by the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart.
“Let’s go, brother. Ignore these weak people.”
Fei Ying looked arrogant and he continued to walk forward with Xiong Zhan. The flaming arena was full of uncertainty as no one knew what kind of crisis was hiding there.
Looking at the two great guardians of Eight Lineages Silver River and Hong Yan, Yu Jingfan felt more pressured now.
“It’s really difficult to deal with the two of them. We know how useful the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox is in searching for the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart. Of course it’s impossible for the master of Eight Lineages Silver River not to know about this.”
“It’s going to be a hard battle.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
“How can you still smile.”
Yu Er’niang rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen. However, Yu Huafan felt that she was like a little girl who was angry at her lover. He heaved a sigh of relief while looking at her sister who had grown up.
“We will just fight whatever comes to us. They are stronger than us, but does that mean we have to retreat? If we don’t fight until the end, we will never know who will win eventually.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Right now we can’t be reckless and we must be extremely careful. The great guardians and the people of the Red-clothed Thirteen House are our greatest enemy right now. We can only observe the situation before taking any action. There are no other people coming into the volcanic cave yet, so we must take our chance. None of them would simply take action as well.”
Yu Jingfan said while looking extremely serious. He led everyone, moving forward step by step. With his Half-step Divine King realm strength, he actually had the mightiness and leaders.h.i.+p skill.
Jiang Chen and the others continued walking in the flaming arena. When they came into the middle of the arena, they noticed an enormous hollow square which was around a hundred metres wide. It had collapsed and was full of burning magma. However, there was a thin ancient vine growing up at the center of the square. The ancient vine reached the top of the square, reaching the roof of the square as if it was the backbone supporting the entire volcanic cave.
Who would believe that the ancient vine was rooted in the magma?
The ancient vine was not burnt by the magma at all and it was like an ancient tree standing in the giant volcanic cave. It was truly astonis.h.i.+ng!
