Ling Xian glided across the sky and landed on top of the Island of the Sun.
Instantly, a high temperature attacked him. It was much hotter than the temperature he felt on the ship.
However, it still posed no threat to him. He could defend against it with his Qi alone.
But Zi Yuan and the others couldn't handle it. With their cultivation level, they could not defend against it.
Therefore, they all took out their Fire Taming Pearls. Only then did they feel better.
"It is the legendary Island of the Sun after all. The sunlight here is far too dense."
"If I didn't have the Fire Taming Pearls, I would've turned into ashes by now."
"Yeah, this place is far too dangerous. I hope we can escape unscathed."
Everyone sighed and shifted their gazes towards Ling Xian. There was respect, there was happiness.
After a series of events, Ling Xian's mysterious and unpredictable image has been carved deep into everyone's heart. Therefore, everyone knew very well that whether or not they can escape unscathed depended on him.
Immediately, their voices echoed around. They all wanted Ling Xian to protect them.
"My cultivation level is still low. If I run into danger, please take care of me."
"Thank you, senior. If we can leave safely, we will thank you in the future."
"Yes, please protect us, Senior."
Everyone begged. Even Zi Yuan did the same.
She looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner and said in a low voice, "Senior, if we run into danger, please help us. After we return, the Moonlight Mercenaries will thank you."
"Everyone, do not worry. Since we are all on the same boat, I will do my best."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. Even if Zi Yuan didn't ask, he would've helped. Because only then could he meet the core members of the Moonlight Mercenaries and achieve his goal.
"With your words, I can rest assured." Zi Yuan smiled, and the others also heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then you can lead the way. I think you know the exact location of the ruin." Ling Xian grinned.
"The employer gave us a map that will help us find the ruin." Zi Yuan grinned and took out a sheepskin scroll. Then, she frowned.
Seeing this, Ling Xian frowned as well, "What is it? Did you run into a problem?"
"According to the map, the relic should be in the center of the Sun Island, which happens to be the core habitat of the Sun Elves." Zi Yuan smiled bitterly, and the others' expressions changed.
Although the entire Sun Island was the habitat of the Sun Elves, the center was undoubtedly the most terrifying place. Just like the main peak of a sect, it was inhabited by the noblest and most powerful Sun Elves.
"In other words, if we want to enter the ruin, we have to go to the core habitat of the Sun Elves." Ling Xian frowned, feeling troubled.
Sun Elves were born from sunlight, and they belonged to the Spirit Race. The Spirit Race had always been incredibly terrifying, and even if they were formed from a ray of sunlight, they could still look down on those of the same level. Therefore, even someone as powerful as him did not dare to underestimate him.
"That's right. We don't have a choice." Zi Yuan smiled bitterly. She felt that the hope of success was diminishing bit by bit.
Everyone else felt the same way.
The chances were too slim. Entering the core habitat of the Sun Elves was equivalent to courting death. How could they complete the mission?
"Since there's no other choice, let's just move forward bravely."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Even if it is a core habitat, there are ways to hide. We may not face the Sun Elves head on."
"Senior, you have a way?" Zi Yuan's eyes brightened and she became energetic.
"I can hide your spiritual energy so that the Sun Elves won't find out. The rest is up to you."
Ling Xian looked at Zi Yuan meaningfully, "I do not believe that the Moonlight Mercenaries are not prepared at all."
"Senior, you are right. The Moonlight Mercenaries do not fight unprepared battles. It's just that those methods are used against the Sun Elves." Zi Yuan bitterly smiled, "Unless it's absolutely necessary, I do not want to fight the Sun Elves head on."
"I will do my best to hide your spiritual energy. The rest is up to God's will." Ling Xian softly grinned. Flapping around his sleeve, 15 miniature arrays appeared and covered everyone's spiritual energy.
This made everyone's eyes contract. They didn't think Ling Xian was an array grandmaster. After they realized the mysteriousness of the arrays, they revealed a look of shock.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this array had perfectly covered everyone's spiritual energy. They had turned into ghosts and spirits. Even they themselves couldn't detect them.
All because this was a simplified version of the Heaven Shadowing Array!
Though it wasn't even one ten-thousandth of the real array, it was enough to hide from seventh leveled cultivators.
"No wonder he could see through the arrays on the Moonlight Mercenaries. He is an array grandmaster …" Zi Yuan's heart was in awe. She found Ling Xian more and more mysterious.
"Let's go. With this array, we should be able to reach our destination smoothly." Ling Xian grinned and marched forward.
Everyone followed.
Just like Ling Xian said, the journey was peaceful and they didn't run into any danger.
However, the temperature was getting higher and higher. In the end, even the Fire Taming Pearl began to crack.
This made everyone's breathing hasty. The amount of water in their bodies decreased and their skin began to crack.
Only Ling Xian was unharmed. However, he also used the True Flame of Purity.
What could he do? This place was far too hot. Especially as they got closer to the center, the temperature reached an unheard of level.
"Hold on, we are almost there."
Seeing that everyone was getting weaker and weaker, Ling Xian frowned. He used the True Flame of Purity to protect them and continued forward.
After some time, the group finally arrived at the center of the Sun Island.
Instantly, waves of powerful Qi appeared in Ling Xian's senses, making his expression turn serious.
Disregarding everything else, he sensed no less than ten auras of Sixth Realms alone. Among them, there were a few whose auras were not inferior to his.
"It is no wonder they call it a forbidden area. With this kind here, outsiders cannot enter." Ling Xian frowned, feeling troubled.
Ignoring whether or not there were seventh leveled cultivators here, the ones who were not weaker than him were already troublesome.
"Senior, the ruins should be over there." Zi Yuan hid in the bushes and pointed at the forest before them.
"This is troublesome."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He sensed that the Qi that was not weaker than him was inside the forest. In other words, if they want to enter the ruins, they will have to fight.
However, the difference in capabilities was too great. Once they fight, Zi Yuan and them will die for sure.
"Senior, what should we do now? Do we have to fight them head on? "
Zi Yuan's expression was heavy. Though she didn't know what kind of powerhouses were inside the forest, she could guess that they must be terrifying.
After all, this was the core habitat of the Sun Elves!
"Other than fighting them head on, there is another way." Ling Xian softly sighed and uttered out three words.
"Lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Hearing this, everyone silenced. This was a good idea and it was the only way.
But, who would be the bait? There was no way they would survive!
"Oh well, I will lure them away. You take the opportunity to enter the ruins."
Ling Xian softly sighed. This was the only way.
