"I hope I'm not too unlucky …" A bitter smile appeared on Lin Yun 'exhausted face. Just as he finished saying this, he suddenly felt a terrifying mana fluctuation rising up. The burst of power could make any Archmage feel palpitations.
It was followed by a muffled explosion.
Then, the entire world seemed to become quiet at this moment ….
The berserk mana fluctuations retreated like a tide, and the ground under his feet also stopped shaking.
"Hmm?"
At this time, Lin Yun could clearly see that the Raising Dragon Array had already been activated. In front of him was a simple and unadorned passage made of stone. Seeing this scene, a happy expression appeared on his face. But just as he approached the entrance of the passage, his expression suddenly changed.
"How could the temperature be so high …" He stood at the entrance of the passage and felt an abnormally scorching aura assaulting his senses. The terrifying temperature made him frown.
In fact, the temperature of the Raging Flame Plane was very high to begin with. Ordinary people simply couldn't endure this kind of heat, and those with poor physiques might even die.
But the scorching aura coming from the passage was even more frightening. It was even higher than the temperature of the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Land. If a High Mage went in, they might die from dehydration within a few minutes. Only existences above the Archmage realm would be able to adapt to the environment of the passage.
"Let's go in and take a look …"
Lin Yun attentively looked at the passage and frowned as he sensed the terrifying temperature. He clearly understood that only by going through the passage would he have the opportunity to obtain the Chromatic Dragon Crystal.
But just as he was about to enter the passage …
"Hey, Mafa Merlin has been busy all day. Sir Thorne has repeatedly informed him to go to the Flame Demon Fort to discuss matters, but we haven't seen his shadow … Sir Yuri, why are you stopping us? We only want to see Mafa Merlin. He has been hiding here for ten days, could it be that he has some unspeakable secret?"
"Hmpf, Sir Thorne gave him face and personally came to look for him. What does he think Mafa Merlin is? Does he really think of himself as a Planar Legion Commander?"
It was these two irritating voices that made Lin Yun gloomy. He stopped and said, "Sir Yuri, don't stop them …"
After a few minutes, a total of five silhouettes slowly descended with the help of Levitation. Yuri Merlin and Ida Merlin were among them, and their expressions weren't good either. "High Mage Merlin, sorry …"
"It's fine …" Lin Yun expressionlessly waved his hand and then looked at the other three uninvited guests. He knew one of them, it was Thorne Merlin. As for the two old men behind Thorne Merlin, he had never seen them before. But from the mana fluctuations of these two old men, he could determine that they were at least Archmages.
"What is this …" Thorne Merlin, who had just reached a kilometer underground, quickly discovered the existence of that passage. Especially the blazing aura coming from the passage, he couldn't help frowning. Deep amazement could be seen on his face as he couldn't help asking, "What is this …?"
After the battle in the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Land, Thorne Merlin had been running all over the place to firmly control the spoils of war belonging to the Merlin Family. Occasionally, he would come across some important decisions and discuss them with the young mage, but unfortunately, he couldn't contact the young mage.
Later, he found out that the young mage had already led people into the Ghost Valley a long time ago. He didn't know what he was doing, but he never came out.
After clashing with the young mage a few times, Thorne Merlin gradually realized that the young mage wasn't as simple as he had imagined. Even if he didn't have the authority to command the Planar Legion, he still couldn't be underestimated. Just like that, he didn't ask about the young mage for over ten days.
Until yesterday …
A deafening sound echoed in the area where the young mage was, as if a fierce battle had taken place. Thorne Merlin once again sent people to contact the young mage, but the result was the same. The people he sent didn't even get to see the young mage before being stopped by Yuri Merlin's group.
Thus, Thorne Merlin led people to personally rush over today in order to find the young mage and ask him what had happened.
But after seeing the passage in front of him, he suddenly felt that those questions weren't important anymore.
He naturally guessed that the young mage definitely had a special purpose for staying here for a dozen days.
Thorne Merlin was somewhat curious about this passage. Where did it lead to?
"Mafa Merlin, I want to go in. You should know that as the Commander of the Merlin Family in the Raging Flame Plane, I have the authority to supervise. I have the authority to ask about anything that happens. After all, I am responsible for the Merlin Family …" Thorne Merlin expressionlessly looked at Lin Yun and pointed at the passage on the side.
"Haha, Thorne Merlin, you aren't joking, right?" Lin Yun, who was already in a bad mood, became even more gloomy after hearing Thorne Merlin's words. "First of all, Sir Thorne, please clarify something. You didn't do anything during the attack on the Ghost Valley. It was all thanks to my subordinates and the power of the Black Tower that we managed to capture the Ghost Valley. Naturally, you can go in, but you can only obediently watch from the side. You can't touch anything inside. Don't blame me for being rude if you take even a hair …"
"Why …"
But at this time, an Archmage behind Thorne Merlin stood up with a gloomy expression and coldly looked at Lin Yun with disdain. "Mafa Merlin, you really don't know what's good for you! Don't you know that Sir Thorne is the true Commander? I really don't understand, what authority do you have to stop Sir Thorne from touching anything? In the entire Raging Flame Plane, anything found by the Merlin Family's Planar Legion belongs to the Merlin Family. Mafa Merlin, you wouldn't think that this is your private property, would you? Ridiculous … "
"Sir, may I ask which eye of yours saw the Merlin Family's Planar Legion attack the Ghost Valley? I think Sir Thorne should be clearer on this matter. You might as well ask him … "Lin Yun looked at that unfamiliar Archmage with a smile and inwardly shook his head, not saying anything else.
"Mafa Merlin, you mean to say that taking down the Ghost Valley was all thanks to you?" That Archmage sneered as he looked at Lin Yun with a mocking expression. "Who do you think you are? A Heaven Mage? No, you are only a 5th Rank High Mage, a laughable 5th Rank High Mage. Your situation in the Raging Flame Plane is only a bit better than that of cannon fodder … "
"Alright, Sir, this laughable 5th Rank High Mage wants to challenge you. May I ask if you are willing to accept …" Lin Yun had a smile on his face, he didn't seem angry at all. He looked as if he was watching a clown perform, but this clown was a bit stronger, he was an Archmage.
"You are asking to be humiliated!"
"Lahn, that's enough! Hurry up and shut up … "The quarrel between the two alarmed Thorne Merlin. That Planar Legion Commander seemed to wake up from a dream and was drenched in cold sweat as he hurriedly stopped Lahn.
He was very clear about Lahn Merlin's strength. That Archmage had a lot of experience in the Raging Flame Plane. He had already stood at the Archmage realm a few decades ago and had always been rushing between major planes. His strength was even more unfathomable. If Thorne hadn't advanced to the 5th Rank of the Sword Saint realm, defeating Lahn Merlin might have been a bit difficult.
Because of this, Lahn Merlin was entrusted with an important task. Half a year ago, he was dispatched to one of the three great forts of the Merlin Family, the Flame Frost Fort, to be in charge of guarding that fort.
And not long ago, the Merlin Family obtained indescribable benefits from their cooperation with the Black Tower. In order to quickly digest these gains, they reassigned Lahn Merlin to the Flame Demon Fort. From this, it could be seen that the Merlin Family attached great importance to Lahn Merlin.
But even so, Thorne Merlin didn't believe that Lahn Merlin would come out unscathed after provoking the young mage.
Although Lahn Merlin was very powerful, his enemy was a complete monster that couldn't be defeated.
He had truly sensed the young mage's true strength in the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Land, especially when the young mage dealt with the Thawing Fire Tribe's Tribal Chief. Thorne Merlin still had a deep impression of the young mage's strength. He was certain that the young mage's strength had already undergone earth-shattering changes in the past six months. He was definitely comparable to a 7th Rank Archmage.
He was simply a monster …
Thorne Merlin had met the young mage for the first time during the Family Meeting half a year ago, and they had fought fiercely. At that time, he had been somewhat shocked. The young mage was only a High Mage, but he actually had the power to contend against a 5th Rank Sword Saint like him.
What was even more outrageous was that in a short six months, the young mage's strength had rapidly progressed, leaving him far behind.
It was hard to imagine how an ordinary person could progress so quickly.
At this time, Thorne Merlin looked at Lahn Merlin with a strange expression. His throat moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he dispelled that thought after glancing at the young mage.
'Forget it, I'll give him a reminder later. I can't provoke Mafa Merlin …'
