"Furthermore, your final arrangement was not bad. On the surface, you let the Liu family's Martial Arts Grandmasters go and help. This way, you can clearly draw a line between us and the Ten Great Villains."
Family Head Liu's face was full of pain.
The Ten Great Martial Arts Grandmasters were actually from the Liu family. However, in order to draw a line between them and shirk responsibility, they could only use the Liu family to deal with them. At least on the surface, they could not let Zhan Ruxue find any evidence against the Liu family.
One had to know that Zhan Ruxue had previously united many aristocratic families. If the Ten Great Martial Arts Grandmasters betrayed the Liu family, then the Liu family would be attacked by many aristocratic families. When that time comes, the Liu family would be destroyed in an instant.
The Ten Great Martial Arts Grandmasters must have been bitterly disappointed by the way they used their own people to deal with their own people.
Elder Liu sighed heavily, his face full of sorrow, and walked out of the study irritably.
This was also a last resort. Otherwise, why would he make such an arrangement?
He could not possibly have sent out all the aristocratic families except for the Liu family. Any normal person would be able to determine that the Liu family had launched a sneak attack. In order to cover it up and to warn the Ten Great Villains, Elder Liu had no choice but to send out two Martial Arts Grandmasters.
At the inn, at the first light of dawn.
Xiao Yang, Zhan Ruxue and the rest had woken up early and were ready to set off towards the Blazing Mountain, which was half a day's journey away.
This was their first mission and they did not want to mess it up.
"Let's go, let's go."
Zhan Ruxue waved his hand and ordered. The group slowly walked towards the gates of the Blazing Mountain.
On the way.
Zhan Ruxue smiled at Xiao Yang and said, "Brother Bai, it was all thanks to your quick wits last night. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have suffered heavy injuries."
At that time, the situation was too dangerous. He had been entangled by the Five Great Martial Arts Grandmasters and the remaining Five Great Martial Arts Grandmasters had captured Xiao Yang. The situation was far from good.
Fortunately, Xiao Yang had revealed his identity and reminded Zhan Ruxue that they were disciples of the Sky Sect. This way, they could legitimately call for help.
Xiao Yang pretended to have a lingering fear and said in panic, "I didn't help much. My cultivation is too weak. It was all thanks to Brother Bai and the help of my fellow brothers that I was able to escape from danger. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the sun today."
Supervisor Zhang, Baldy Fang, and the others all laughed out loud.
Fortunately, now that they had left Flame City, those bandits would not continue to chase after them.
"Let's hurry up. There's still half a day before we reach the Blazing Mountain. According to the records, there are many mercenary groups in the Mountain of Flames. There are also many fire-type demon beasts. We have to be prepared. "
Xiao Yang spoke slowly as he took out the airship. After the airship expanded to about thirty meters in size, he took the lead and flew up. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate.
Zhan Ruxue instructed everyone to prepare themselves. Then, he steered the airship towards the Flaming Mountain alone.
Along the way, he kept frowning. His gaze swept over Xiao Yang many times. His motive was simple. He still could not get over it.
The Liu Clan had mobilized the top ten Martial Grandmasters to deal with Xiao Yang. This was really puzzling.
He had been in contact with Xiao Yang for the longest time and understood Xiao Yang the best. What secrets could Xiao Yang have?
No matter how he looked at it, he could not find any loopholes or suspicious points.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. They had already reached the border of the Flaming Mountain. Looking down from the sky, they could see the flames of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the distance. There was no end in sight. There were flames everywhere. Many places were charred and emitted a pungent smell of smoke.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there were many mercenary groups and demon hunters. Some of them wanted to capture demon beasts, some wanted to find medicinal herbs, and even more wanted to find heavenly flames. There were even cases of cannibalism happening every day. It was all for the sake of benefits.
"Be careful. We're here. Let's get off the airship and proceed on foot."
Zhan Ruxue said lightly. He controlled the airship and slowly descended. Then, he was the first to jump off the airship.
Xiao Yang and the others left the airship one after another. After Xiao Yang put away the airship, the group formed a team and slowly went deeper into the Flaming Mountain.
As soon as he stepped into the scorched mountain, he immediately felt that the temperature inside was different from the outside. Most of the ground was covered in black ash. Sometimes, these scorched areas would even emit some flames, making it impossible to guard against.
Walking aimlessly in the Flaming Mountain, they encountered many demon hunters and mercenaries along the way. They did not talk much and did not invade each other. They all remained vigilant.
As Zhan Ruxue was leading the team and he was releasing his cultivation at all times, no one dared to provoke them recklessly. Along the way, they did not encounter any danger. Occasionally, they encountered fire-type demon beasts, but they were not too powerful. They were easily dealt with.
After walking for half a day, it was already evening. The sky was gloomy, but the flames around them illuminated all year round, regardless of day or night.
Everyone chose a place to rest for the time being.
It was their first time entering the Flaming Mountain. After experiencing such a harsh environment, they were not used to it at first, so they were all very tired.
"Let's rest for a while."
Zhan Ruxue said softly. He casually set up a few formations and began to recuperate.
Xiao Yang frowned and walked a little further away to check the surroundings. He guarded them to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
His Divine Sense spread out and covered a radius of tens of thousands of feet. He saw everything in the surroundings. He secretly contacted the Sky Fire and said, "Sky Fire, sense where there is a Sky Fire. We'll take a Sky Fire and leave this place."
The purpose of coming to the Flaming Mountain was to find a Sky Fire.
Xiao Yang had long been experienced in sealing Sky Fire. However, in order to hide his true identity, he did not expose himself. He still maintained his cultivation of Level Six Martial Master and pretended to be tired so that no one could see through his disguise.
The mid-level Sky Fire sensed for a while and immediately communicated with Xiao Yang through his mind. He said slowly, "There is a Sky Fire. A hundred miles to the east, there is a low-level Sky Fire. At this moment, many mercenaries, Demon Hunters, and Demonic Beasts have joined the fight. In addition, as we continue to go deeper into the Flaming Mountain, I also sensed a mid-level Sky Fire. However, the deeper we go, the stronger the fire-type Demonic Beasts will be. Each of them has a cultivation comparable to a Martial Ancestor. Even the human cultivators who enter the depths of the Flaming Mountain are at least at the Martial Ancestor Realm. You have to think carefully. "
Xiao Yang could not help but frown and fall into deep thought.
Just as he was pondering, a voice interrupted his thoughts. It was Zhan Ruxue.
"Brother Bai, you must be tired from the journey. Go and rest first. I'll take care of it."
Zhan Ruxue said slowly. He stood at the side and checked the surroundings.
