This roar could only be considered as his final form of revenge. He wanted to purposely annoy the other party.'You've been chasing me so hard. I won't let you have your way even if I have to die. '
Even though he was forced into a corner by Bai Ziliang in the end, this roar still managed to infuriate him greatly.
The Tempest Beast leaped up and landed on the crater of the volcano. The Golden-hooved White Deer followed suit almost at the same time.
The group looked down. Bai Ziliang didn't want to let Miao Yi have his way, so he brought up the giant black seal to send Miao Yi on his way. However, when he saw the situation below, he stopped.
The orange-red flames swirling around them looked extremely strange. They watched as Miao Yi's figure disappeared into the flames, and the moment he did, his clothes and fur were instantly set ablaze.
"Ugh …" A cry of extreme pain, yet unwilling to let out a cry, could be heard, sending chills down everyone's spines.
A few sparks of ash were blown up by the heat. It was the work of Miao Yi's clothes and fur being set ablaze.
The temperature at the top of the volcano was simply too high. It was so high that their cultivations couldn't withstand it. Bai Ziliang's Tempest Beast didn't seem to be afraid of the heat, but the Golden-hooved White Deer let out a pained cry. It was obvious that the temperature was beyond its endurance.
The two spiritual beasts quickly retreated down the mountain peak. The four of them looked at each other in dismay. Even the four of them couldn't withstand such high temperatures. They didn't know how Miao Yi managed to stay so calm and talk to them when he was wounded to that extent. It was simply inconceivable.
It doesn't look like a normal volcano. Also, the fire inside isn't ordinary fire either. The intensity of the fire isn't right either. It's obvious that someone intentionally laid down a fire array. I'm guessing that the only one who could lay down a fire array here is Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan. It looks like Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan's personal residence is right below, and this fire array is used to guard the entrance. "Ba Jie clicked his tongue.
Lan Susu asked, "If Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan's personal residence is really down there, would he be able to escape by jumping down?"
Bai Ziliang calmly replied, "He's dead for sure! If it weren't for the fire array, he might have been able to escape. How can just anyone barge through a fire array laid down by Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan? He's dead for sure! "
Ba Jie shook his head and said, "This guy is quite the character. To be able to risk one's life for a friend to lure the enemy is not something an ordinary person can do. It's a pity that he died. " As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. He reached out to Bai Ziliang and said, "Where is the thing you promised us?"
Bai Ziliang was stunned, "What is it?"
"Don't play dumb with this poor monk. This poor monk won't fall for that." Ba Jie pointed at the mouth of the volcano. "You just said that you only want his life. Everything else will be ours."
Bai Ziliang was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently, "You've already jumped down, where am I going to give you anything? If you want it, just jump down and find it yourself. "
Ba Jie chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he jumped down or not. In any case, you were the one who forced him down, so you're the one who killed him. Are you trying to renege on your debt now that you've achieved your goal? If I didn't promise you just now, he would have left with me along with his belongings, and I wouldn't have lost anything. And you want me to jump down myself? Are you messing with us? Now, you'd better jump down and find what I want. Otherwise, don't blame me for throwing you two adulterers down together! "
"What arrogance. Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?! " Bai Ziliang snorted disdainfully, then turned to Kong Zhi and said, "Kong Zhi, you saw the situation yourself. He jumped down himself, and I was caught off guard. Now that the matter has been resolved, we shall part ways here! "
His attitude was clear. As the representative of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, he would only negotiate with the representative of the Realm of High Paradise, who was of equal status.
Kong Zhi didn't say anything. Since he knew someone wouldn't let him off, there would naturally be someone who would do such a thing.
Ba Jie was instantly amused. He jumped down from the Golden-hooved White Deer and took out a black wooden fish with a hint of translucent amber. He struck the wooden fish with his hand, and the sound reverberated throughout the mountain peak, numbing everyone's ears. Then, he sneered, "You want to leave without taking out what you want?"
Just as Bai Ziliang was about to turn around and leave, he stared at the pair of transcendent artifacts in Ba Jie's hands and asked warily, "What are you trying to do?"
"Do you really think I'm a pushover?" Ba Jie pointed the wooden fish rod at Bai Ziliang and said, "Bai. When we were negotiating just now, you made a promise to me, and even said that it was a deal. Yet, now that the matter is over, you're going to burn the bridge after crossing the river. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you. " Turning his head around, he asked, "Kong Zhi, this demon has just killed a person. If we let him go, he will only cause more deaths. Facing such a cruel and heartless demon, we Buddhists should take it upon ourselves to vanquish this demon!"
"Amitabha!" Kong Zhi sighed. With a wave of his hand, a Blood Kasaya draped over his shoulders, and a multi-eared staff appeared in his hand. It was also black with a hint of amber. With a shake of the staff, the dozens of earrings on it immediately began to spin, giving off the feeling that they were about to fly out at any moment.
It didn't feel good to be bullied like this. Lan Susu bit her lip as Bai Ziliang said in a deep voice, "I advise you two to think this through. There's no telling who will be the one on the losing end if we fight!"
Ba Jie chuckled and said, "Don't give me that. If you were truly confident, you wouldn't have agreed to our terms so easily. It's too late to put on a show now! Hand over a thousand Geotranscendence Bangles or give us your mount as compensation, and we'll let you two go. Otherwise, we will personally subdue this demon and take it for ourselves! "
Bai Ziliang hated the fact that his Demon Refining Gourd had been destroyed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to be afraid of these two. He gritted his teeth and said, "Think this through. Our whereabouts are all on the astrolabe of the Western Constellations Palace. No matter who gets into trouble, they won't be able to escape the consequences!"
"Don't worry. You're the only one who will get into trouble. The two of us will be fine!" Ba Jie said to Kong Zhi, "Just do it. No one saw who did it anyway. If they want to find out who's responsible after this, feel free to push the blame onto me. Just say that I was the one who killed these two demons. At worst, I'll just be expelled from the sect!"
Kong Zhi was speechless. 'You're actually afraid of being expelled? You're probably more than happy to be expelled, aren't you? But that's fine too. I can make my move without worry now! '
Truth be told, Kong Zhi was actually quite envious of Ba Jie, because he wasn't afraid of getting into trouble.
"Don't go too far!" Bai Ziliang barked.
"Cut the crap. My patience is limited!" Ba Jie gently knocked on the wooden fish and warned, "I'll ask you one more time. Are you going to hand it over or not?!"
In the end, Bai Ziliang had no choice but to throw down a thousand Geotranscendence Bangles and leave with hatred in his heart. There was no way he was going to hand over his Tempest Beast mount. His mother had borrowed it from him, and he still had to return it to Yao Sage Ji Huan when he returned.
"Take care! I won't be sending you off!" Ba Jie happily knocked on the wooden fish as he sent Bai Ziliang off. He then turned around and pointed at the Geotranscendence Bangles on the ground and said to Kong Zhi, "Look at this. Just by scaring him a little, he managed to get a thousand Geotranscendence Bangles. This is something that can only be obtained by killing a thousand people. It's a great mercy to be able to obtain them without killing."
'One thousand! ' With a wave of his hand, Kong Zhi kept all of them into his storage bangle, feeling a little excited.
"Kong Zhi, you must be secretly happy right now. I'm the bad guy, and you're reaping all the benefits," Ba Jie said with a smile as he put away his wooden fish.
Kong Zhi couldn't agree more. However, on the surface, he said, "I'll give you half!"
"We've been drinking and eating together since we were young, and we've peeked at women bathing. We know each other very well. Don't try to be hypocritical with me. We're all here to fight for your ranking. Why would we want these things? Just remember to be at the front when we make our move! " Ba Jie sighed. He looked around and saw the four monks who had just arrived at the foot of the mountain. Then, he leaped onto Kong Zhi's back and said, "Let's go! This damned place isn't meant for humans. I won't be able to hold on any longer! If it weren't for the old bald donkey's Ice Soul Gripping Pearl, I wouldn't have been able to hold on at all! "
Kong Zhi immediately leaped onto his mount and leaped down the mountain...
Meanwhile, as soon as Miao Yi leaped into the mouth of the volcano and his falling body came into contact with the bizarre fire vortex below, he knew that he was truly done for. He realized that this fire was completely different from what he had imagined it to be. It contained a powerful offensive power.
This was because his knowledge was shallow, and he had never come into contact with arrays before. On the other hand, Ba Jie and the others were able to tell that it was a fire array with a single glance. This was the difference in knowledge and eyesight.
If he had known what was going on down there, he wouldn't have jumped down at all. Instead, he would have tried his best to think of a way to get rid of the two monks and escape. At the very least, he wouldn't have jumped down in such a hurry. The reason why he dared to jump down was because he wanted to rely on his transcendence art to temporarily avoid Bai Ziliang's pursuit in the sea of fire. He wanted to hide until Bai Ziliang left before making his escape. Who would have thought that he would jump into a dead end instead?
As soon as he came into contact with the fire vortex, Miao Yi immediately felt a powerful pulling force from the flames. With his current cultivation, there was no way he could withstand it. Furthermore, his ability to control high temperatures was limited as well. To put it bluntly, he couldn't even be considered a beginner in this art. He hadn't even properly cultivated this art at all. He was only using it in a hurry.
As soon as he came into contact with the fire vortex, the flames immediately broke through his transcendence energy defenses. His hair and clothes were instantly turned to ash, and the pain of being burned by the flames made him feel as though he had fallen into purgatory. Almost instantly, he lost consciousness. With his final thought, he used his transcendence art to resist the flames, constantly telling himself — 'I want to live! I want to live!'
It was a cry that came from the depths of his soul.
As soon as he entered the sea of fire, the dark green bead hanging around his neck flashed with a dark light. A figure appeared within the sea of fire like a celestial being. His plain green cloak, white robes, and white hair suddenly fluttered in the wind.
It was none other than Lao Bai!
Grabbing Miao Yi, who was already burnt beyond recognition, with one arm, Lao Bai instantly charged into the depths of the flames, head down and feet up.
The swirling flames engulfed them with a powerful pulling force. Lao Bai's starry eyes were calm as he waved his hand. Wherever his finger touched, the swirling flames immediately spun in the opposite direction at an even faster speed. Boom! The flames that were engulfing them expanded back.
As soon as they charged out of the fire vortex, they saw countless flaming blades slashing towards them. The plain green cloak on Lao Bai's back fluttered in the wind, creating countless mirages to protect his body.
Amidst the rapid bangs, none of the countless flaming blades were able to get close to Lao Bai and Miao Yi. The plain green cloak on Lao Bai's back shattered them into nothingness.
As soon as they charged out of the sea of flaming blades, they saw countless ferocious flaming dragons pouncing towards them, baring their fangs in a frenzy.
