Chapter 135: Lin Xi's Crisis

  "He's willing to sacrifice himself, I'll stop him. So I didn't even tell you." Murmured Qinglian Shengnu.

  Several other female disciples of the same sect were also shocked. Wanted missions have always been high-risk, if Lin Xi's boundary and Lava Little Demon King are about the same, then doing this mission wouldn't be a problem but the issue is that they differ by one boundary.

  Moreover, Lava Little Demon King is a very formidable rising star in the demonic path! He's a ruthless and cunning little genius of the demonic path!

  Qinglian Holy Girl had suggested that Lin Xi go do some trial tasks, but they were referring to level 1 or 2 Qi Refining tasks that matched his abilities, not this kind of dangerous high-risk third-level Qi Refining task.

  "Ah!"

  Suddenly, a blue talisman broke through the air and plunged into the thick fog, only to be caught by another Holy Son of the Xian Dao Sect.

  "No good, I have to hurry up and go to the top of the blast furnace!"

  The face of this sectarian saint changed slightly.

  "What's going on?"

  Qinglian Holy Maiden's heart skipped a beat as she subconsciously asked.

  "The Sect's Elder has just sent a message, and I've just received the latest news. The Lava Little Demon King has just killed one of our sect's Qi Xian stage cultivators. It's possible that the Lava Little Demon King has already broken through to the Qi Xian stage, or it might be because he has an extremely dangerous magical artifact in his hands. Currently, other sects are still unaware of this news, but our sect has temporarily changed the task 'Capture the Lava Little Demon King' to a 'Qi Xian Stage Task'. Moreover, the Elder notified me that they will immediately recall everyone from the sect and cancel the task. Alternatively, I can go and kill the Lava Little Demon King directly."

  This sect is called Daoism.

  "What!!"

  Qinglian Holy Maiden's expression changed greatly, a three-layered lava demon king was already extremely dangerous. But now that he had broken through to the Qi Immortal stage, for Lin Xi, it was directly a death-level mission.

  "Not good, Lin Shidi is in danger! I must hurry to the Furnace Crown!"

  Qinglian Holy Maiden's heart was filled with anxiety. Until now, she still hadn't received the elder's token, obviously the Shen Xiao Sect had not yet received any news.

  Those who went to the Furnace Crown were all like Lin Xi, receiving the third-level Qi Refining task. One by one, they still didn't know that the current task level had changed to a high-risk fourth-level Qi Refining wanted mission!

  "Go!"

  Qinglian Holy Girl's body flashed, and she immediately rose into the air, rushing to the "Crown of the Furnace".

  "Ah!"

  Suddenly, in the midst of thick fog, a mournful cry. The Daoist Saint Child who had just received the Elder's token and was flying towards the "Heart of the Furnace" let out a mournful cry as he was smashed back by a gigantic demonic palm that was even taller than a person.

  "Hah! Lord Blackwood has arrived, and you're still not here to greet him? What's the hurry, where do you think you're going?"

  A dark and eerie laughter echoed, amidst the fiery mist, a gigantic demonic silhouette emerged, its two wings spread wide. At the same time, countless malevolent auras of great evil demons appeared from all directions.

  The Holy Lotus Maiden had just flown out when she saw a pair of vicious eyes floating around her, and immediately retreated back. Her heart sank all the way down.

  Demons that have names are extremely powerful demons in the small hell of the furnace. And the other party can slap a fairy way saint son like a skin ball back. This demon lord is at least an eighth-order virtual immortal demon.

  This powerful evil will has already been able to cross the spatial barrier, and from the lowest "Great Hell World", it can draw out pure demonic energy that far surpasses the "Small Hell Yuan Qi".

  A demon lord of the eighth rank of Qi refinement, plus a large number of great demons with flight capabilities, this is an extremely severe challenge!

  Qinglian's heart sank, these demons came at the right time, just when she received the news. Without a doubt, it was already impossible for her to rush over in time and rescue Lin Xi.

  "Lin Shidi, now it's all up to you. You must hold on tight!"

  Qinglian Holy Girl looked in the direction of the crown of the furnace, her heart racing with anxiety.

  "Kill!"

  At the sound of the command, countless giant devils shook their wings and made a dense slapping sound, then charged towards the Xian Dao disciples in the middle, killing them...

  This is bound to be a tough battle.

  On the crown of the furnace, all the Xian Dao disciples dispersed and searched for the traces of "Lava Little Demon King" in all directions.

  "Look, there's a skeleton here!"

  Suddenly, a voice of a Xian Dao disciple came from not far away.

  Lin Xi, Yang Wenshi, Duan Da and others were moved in their hearts, and immediately jumped over. Only to see a mountain peak, on the fiery red rock sand, was lying a corpse, white bones everywhere.

  "The color of this skeleton is quite new, it should have died within half a day. It seems that the Lava Little Demon King was indeed here."

  Yang Wensheng said.

  "This skeleton is stripped clean. All the flesh and blood have been consumed, leaving only a pile of white bones. What kind of evil sorcery is this? It's too cruel!"

  Beside him, Duan Da lowered his head, fiddled with a bone for a moment, and then said.

  The powerful Xian Daoists around looked at each other and came to the same conclusion.

  "This kid must be around here somewhere. Everyone keep looking. He's got to be hiding somewhere!"

  In an instant, all the strong men of the third layer of Qi refining began to search around.

  The newly discovered white bones undoubtedly boosted everyone's confidence. One by one, they were all filled with killing intent, searching in all directions for the tracks of the Lava Elemental Lord.

  Only Lin Xi stood beside him, silent and speechless.

  "Little brother, you look like you're thinking deeply, have you discovered another Dong Island?"

  Yang Wenshi saw Lin Xi's appearance and asked aloud.

  "I'm not very sure either."

  Lin Xi furrowed his brow and pointed at the brocade clothes on the skeleton's body:

  "Do you still remember that powerful Qianqi cultivator who threatened me? The clothes on this corpse give me a feeling that is very similar to the clothes of that person."

  The three of them burst out laughing.

  "Haha, little brother, stop joking. The task of capturing the lava demon is only a third-level Qi Refining mission, how could he possibly kill a Nascent Soul stage expert? Moreover, this guy is extremely cunning, if he sees a strong Nascent Soul cultivator, he'll run away before you can even react. How could he possibly show his face?"

  Duan Da laughed.

  "Yes, junior brother, you're being too suspicious. It's just a piece of clothing, what can it represent? Even if it kills you, it's just similar. I think you've been intimidated by him. But don't worry, we'll help you."

  Cui Xuanwei also smiled.

  "Let's go."

  Yang Wensi shook his head and neither confirmed nor denied it.

  The Gas Immortal Stage is as its name suggests, an immortal in the gas. Compared to the Driving Spirit Stage, it's not just a little stronger, where can the Lava Little Demon King be able to handle?

  Lin Xi remained silent, although this conclusion was indeed absurd, but Lin Xi always felt that this corpse was not just similar in clothing.

  "Hopes" is just similar.

  Lin Xi's heart secretly thought, a warning glint flashed in his eyes.

  "Everyone come quickly", found the trail of Lava Little Demon King!"

  Suddenly, a loud cry came from afar.

  Slash!

  This cry attracted everyone's attention.

  "Go!"

  Duan Da's body shot up vertically and he immediately flew over.

  Lin Xi and others followed afterwards.

  The place where the incident occurred had already gathered a large group of Xian Tao masters.

  "What about him?"

  "Where?"

  "Who saw it?"

  A large crowd of people rushed over.

  "I don't know either, but I saw someone chasing in that direction."

  A Xian Dao disciple said.

  "Chase!"

  As soon as the voice fell, a large group of people chased after him.

  Lava Little Demon is involved in the sect's mission, and everyone who comes here is aiming for the sect's reward of killing Lava Little Demon. Everyone has their sights set on it.

  At this time, hearing the target's trail, without thinking much, one by one electric shot out and chased after.

  "This is strange!"

  Lin Xi furrowed his brow. As he approached the crown of this crucible, Lin Xi suddenly felt an extremely disgusting feeling in his heart.

  Yang Wensi, Duan Da and Cui Xuanwei have already rushed over there, Lin Xi also didn't have time to think carefully and followed them in pursuit.

  Soon, a group of people chased after him and stopped in front of a protruding cliff.

  "What's going on? Where is he?"

  "Didn't you say it was here?"

  "Where's Lava Lodge? Did it get lost?!"

  From afar, a murmur of discussion reached his ears.

  Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly his true energy surged forth, catching up to Yang Wenshi, Duan Da, and Cui Xuanwei.

  "Third Brother, wait a minute. I feel something is off here."

  Lin Xi hurried over and said.

  "What's wrong? What happened?"

  Yang Wenshi exclaimed in surprise.

  Although three people asked so with their mouths, their feet slowed down involuntarily.

  "Little brother, have you discovered something?"

  Cui Xuanwei said.

  All the way, he was paying attention to Lin Xi's expression. The three of them were from the same sect, so they naturally wouldn't think that Lin Xi wanted to slow them down and eat the fruit alone. In fact, if they fell behind other sects' cultivators, it would be difficult for the three of them to complete their task.

  Unless there's a special reason, Cui Xuanwei believes that Lin Xi won't do this again and again.

  "I have a feeling something is wrong here."

  Lin Xi's eyes sparkled.

  As he approached here, he had a very dangerous feeling, as if one foot had stepped into a coffin.

  "What's going on here?"

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.

  Although he couldn't understand where this sense of danger came from, Lin Xi was very clear that this feeling was absolutely correct.

  Lin Xizheng wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly the sense of crisis in his heart surged a thousand times stronger, becoming extremely intense.

  "Watch out, get down!"

  Lin Xi almost instinctively shouted out.

  Almost at the same time, a gloomy cry came from behind:

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  At that moment, an unimaginably intense surge of yuanqi came from deep beneath the earth. Then, a destructive force burst forth continuously from underground.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The heavens shook and the earth trembled, as if the entire cataclysmic energy of destruction was unleashed. The whole "Crown of Furnace" was violently shaken, as if it were about to collapse.

  "It's a spell! At least twenty spells self-destruct!!......"

  A terrifying thought flashed through Lin Xi's mind, and then he was blown away by a terrible force.
