It seemed like there was a possibility for She Fei to take all the spirit herbs that would appear later on!
She Fei had brought too many men. Furthermore… it seemed like he had prepared countless fire immunity elixirs. For the spirit herbs eruptions, later on, he led 20 men and surrounded Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, and their group. He didn’t intend to kill anyone and merely disrupted them and didn’t allow them to get near. He had already taken four of the spirit herbs effortlessly.
“This is not going to work!”
Jiang Yi was silently urgent. There might not be any Fire Snake Orchid in these four spirit herbs, but seeing the situation, it would be hard for Yin Ruobing and the others to obtain any more spirit herbs, unless they were prepared to start a slaughter. The Nine Thearchs Clans were all on the same side, and unless necessary, the descendants of the Nine Thearchs Clans were forbidden from mutual killings, or they would be served with the clan rules.
If they truly wanted to kill, Yi Chan would definitely be able to kill most of She Fei’s men. Yin Ruobing didn’t release the full power of the God-Shooter Bow as well. She Fei might be able to withstand against the attacks, but his men wouldn’t be able to.
Of course, if She Fei wanted to kill, the two young ladies would be in a tragedy. After all, he had brought seven peak-stage Heaven Monarchs and the others were all high-stage Heaven Monarchs. If they were to execute all-out attacks, a single wave of attacks would be enough for Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing to call out for their mothers.
“Steal?”
Jiang Yi was hesitating as he couldn’t use the Heaven Evasion. If his identity was exposed, he would definitely be chased to death by She Fei. She Fei had at least two-spirit connected cardinal treasures, and Jiang Yi was certainly unable to kill She Fei!
“Hahaha! Yi Chan, you nearly snatched that. Do you care about this Heaven Fire Lotus Root? Call me Big Brother She Fei, and I will give it to you. How about it?”
“Oh? Angry? Little Sister Yi Chan, don’t be angry. I have a use for taking all these spirit herbs. Isn’t your grandfather Buddha Thearch going to have his 100th birthday? I am preparing to give all these spirit herbs to your grandfather, and also… asking him to marry his darling granddaughter to me!”
“Damn, Yi Chan is going crazy. Quickly retreat, quickly retreat!”
She Fei’s hearty laughter echoed again. Jiang Yi scanned with his Divine Perception and saw that She Fei had snatched another spirit herb. Yi Chan’s body was flashing with thunderbolts, and she was chasing and attacking She Fei’s men in a frenzy. Yin Ruobing was smiling bitterly while watching from the side.
“Risk it!”
Jiang Yi couldn’t allow this to carry on. He gritted his teeth and scouted as far as he could with his Divine Perception. Once he opened his eyes, he slowly sneaked towards the side of the lake.
Yi Chan didn’t dare to kill anyone which meant that all the spirit herbs would be snatched by She Fei later on. If Jiang Yi wasn’t going to make a move, Qianqian was going to die! He was fortunate that it was the Buddha Thearch’s 100th birthday as the Purgatory Ruin was normally closed, and he probably wouldn’t have another chance to enter this place. He still had to head over to the Mt. Mystic Divine, and he didn’t have time to continue waiting for the next opening.
Most importantly… he had yet to encounter Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu, and it was possible that he wouldn’t have the chance to encounter them this time. After he exited from the Purgatory Ruin, he had to hunt down Wu Ni; and he wouldn’t have any more chances to obtain the Fire Snake Orchid anymore.
He was lying low at a small hill by the side of the lake. Yi Chan had flown back while fuming with anger while Jiang Yi didn’t dare to extend his divine senses out anymore and had withdrawn his qi presence. He laid motionless on the soil like a lion waiting to hunt its prey.
Gudu! Gudu!
Fifteen minutes later, the peaceful surface of the lake surged again and as expected, Yi Chan and the others retreated. At this moment, Jiang Yi opened his eyes and rushed into the Lava Lake like a carp.
“Wa!”
Jiang Yi quickly sank into the lava, and his heart was extremely excited. The Fire Spirit Pearl was indeed a fire immunity treasure as such horrific lava didn’t do a thing to his body. His Fire Spirit Pearl was constantly absorbing the flames in the lava instead.
“Dive!”
Jiang Yi didn’t know what was at the bottom of the lake, and he didn’t know if it would be dangerous. Jiang Yi didn’t dare to make a move on the surface of the lava. Otherwise, the lava would solidify after the flames were absorbed, and he would be discovered.
Moreover, he was preparing to steal the spirit herbs, and he naturally had to dive to the bottom of the lake. He would immediately take the spirit herb that was erupted out and not allowing She Fei and the others any chance to obtain it.
Swish!
He swept like a shark towards the city of lake, and he closed his eyes while entering the Union of Heaven and Man state, allowing him to detect danger as soon as it appeared.
Gudu! Gudu!
There was lava that constantly surged to the surface from the center of the lake. Jiang Yi quickly discovered a spirit herb that was getting erupted out by the lava. After confirming that it wasn’t the Fire Snake Orchid, he didn’t bother and continued to swim towards the center of the lake.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
Sounds of battle quickly echoed from above, and it was needless to say that She Fei had started another battle with Yi Chan and the others. When Jiang Yi dove to the center of the lake, the battle above the surface had ended, and She Fei’s hearty laughter would be heard faintly. It was obvious he had obtained the spirit herb again.
Jiang Yi stopped 300 meters away from the center of the lake and didn’t dare to get nearer. He didn’t dare to go all the way to the bottom of the lake; the bottom was ghastly and very horrific. What if he dove, and there was a great fire attribute demon?
Three hundred meters under the Lava Lake, there was a figure seated quietly inside the lake. The surrounding lava was solidifying, and if Yi Chan, She Fei, and the others were to see this scene, their eyeballs would definitely drop due to shock.
As time ticked by, the lava at the bottom of the lake was surging again. Jiang Yi entered the Union of Heaven and Man state to take a careful look while ignoring the people at the surface. The surging of the lava was getting more incredible, and the lava at the bottom suddenly gushed upwards. Jiang Yi’s body shook, and he discovered there was a white spirit herb that was gushing up.
Swish!
He would be an idiot if he didn’t take such a good thing. He rushed forward like a sharp sword and quickly rushed towards the violent lava current. He felt as though he was in a waterfall as he lost control of his body and involuntarily rushed up.
He didn’t panic as he brandished one of his hands quickly and caught hold of a white spirit herb. When his body was rushing towards the surface of the Lava Lake, his essence force shook abruptly as he rapidly shot to the side and quickly rushed back into the Lava Lake.
Bang!
As the lava burst up into the sky and formed a lava rain, She Fei and the others were waiting for all the lava rain to fall before they rushed over at their fastest speed.
However—!
They were shocked as the lava didn’t erupt out with any spirit herb. Yi Chan and her group had also rushed over with their fastest speed, but after scanning with their divine senses, they couldn’t find anything.
“How could this happen?”
Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing looked at each other with dismay. The various clans had records stating that the Lava Lake would spit out twenty over spirit herbs during each opening of the Purgatory Ruin. Especially the Yi Clan who had detailed records and had obtained the spirit herbs multiple times in history. Why didn’t this burst have any spirit herbs in it?
Dozens of divine senses scanned again and again for 15 minutes until the Lava Lake was surging again. Everyone had no choice but to retreat a few miles, but… when they returned after the lava rain, there still was no spirit herb!
“This doesn’t make sense?!”
Yi Chan had a confused expression. If the Lava Lake wasn’t erupting, then it would be normal. However, it was strange when there was no spirit herb when it was still erupting.
Three times, five times… eight times!
After the eighth eruption, She Fei was rather frustrated as there still was no spirit herb. The longer they stayed here, the more fire immunity elixirs they would need to consume. This was the top-class fire immunity elixir, and each cost a few billion celestial stones and would only last for 45 minutes. He couldn’t afford to continue exhausting them like this.
“Let’s go, let’s go, there is nothing else.”
Since he had obtained a few spirit herbs, She Fei didn’t bother and waved his hand as he prepared to leave. A youth beside him shook his head and said, “Young Master Fei, let’s wait for a while more. I think there is something wrong as I just scouted a trace of life presence inside the lava!”
“Life presence?”
She Fei’s eyes turned cold. Could someone be hiding inside the Lava Lake to intercept and steal from them?
“Life presence?”
Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing’s hearing senses were rather good, and they both looked at each other. Their eyes had turned cold as well. Both of them had exhausted a few fire immunity elixirs and had only obtained a single Earth Star Lotus. They would be unresigned to leave just like this.
Right now, the duo wanted to see who could have such guts to actually steal in front of She Fei and the two of them.
