C53 Struggling to Survive
The Martial Essence Stage Expert could isolate the fire poison and ignore most of the risks. However, being in this place was like being burned by a sea of fire at all times.
The natural Yuan energy in this place was not suitable for absorbing and cultivating. It consumed a lot of energy. If this continued for a long period of time, the Martial Essence Stage Expert would not be able to withstand it.
Hong Qingxuan had asked the two experts of his family to follow Bao Jiang and search for this path. This was a decision that he had made after careful deliberation.
This path was a reserved path of retreat.
There were no signs of fighting along the way, but the two Martial Arts Ninth Layer experts had already run out of fuel. Not only did Hong Xuanwu notice that something was wrong, but Xu Feng was also shocked by what he saw.
This strong reinforcement from the Hong family called 'Master Bao' was not on the same side as the Hong family!
Bao Jiang didn't make any moves along the way, which was why the two Hong family warriors were in such a sorry state.
One could imagine Bao Jiang's intention. He wanted to maintain his peak condition at all times, not wanting to waste any of his energy.
Ninth uncle of Hong family also saw through the trick, and he became extremely angry. He didn't listen to Hong Xuanwu's words, and instead, he rushed forward at full speed.
A pair of eyes looked over. Bao Jiang sensed the arrival of Xu Feng and the other two. He looked over.
"This is bad. We can't leave even if we want to."
Hong Xuanwu wanted to retreat, but Ninth Uncle ruined his plan. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He couldn't help but mutter to himself in a low voice.
"Master Bao, what do you mean by this? Why didn't you help?"
Ninth Uncle came to Bao Jiang and the others and asked while holding back his anger.
Bao Jiang coldly snorted. Ninth Uncle spat out a mouthful of blood. He covered his chest and took a few steps back in shock.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me in such a tone! For the sake of young master Qingxuan, you can be exempted from the death penalty, but you will not be able to escape punishment. "
Bao Jiang's cold snort contained an invisible Yuan energy impact, which could cause a ninth level dance practitioner to be severely injured in an instant.
"You two brats, if you dawdle any longer, I'll let you die here immediately!"
Bao Jiang's voice came from afar. Hong Xuanwu braced himself and pulled Xu Feng closer.
Bao Jiang's expression was indifferent. There was no trace of Xu Feng and Hong Xuanwu in his eyes. He continued to urge the two experts of Hong family to lead the way.
The flowing red magma was guided away by the flow of origin energy. It was searching for solidified magma stones from all directions to pave the way. It was less than a hundred steps away. Although it was close to them, they were walking slowly.
"A bunch of trash! Stop, you all wait here. I'll go find your young master. Remember to keep an eye on these two brats. They might come in handy. "
Bao Jiang lost his patience and flew away.
Only now did the three Martial Arts Ninth Layer warriors of Hong family relax a little. They all sat down on the ground and took the Medicine Pill to regulate their bodies.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two warriors who were close to the end of their lives had recovered a little. Ninth Uncle quickly asked what happened.
The two of them followed Bao Jiang up the mountain. Along the way, Bao Jiang kept urging them, but he didn't give them any help. The two of them couldn't help but ask about it. They were punished by Bao Jiang, and they were injured and tired, which was why they had become like this.
"Although 'Master Bao' is a Martial Essence Stage senior, his appearance is a bit too domineering. It seems like the friend that Eldest Young Master befriended isn't some kind person!"
Ninth Uncle couldn't help but say.
"The Patriarch is also a Martial Essence Stage. Why should we be afraid of him? The reason we listened to him was because we listened to the orders of the Eldest Young Master. I never expected that he would actually treat us as cannon fodder!"
"Once the Eldest Young Master arrives, we'll definitely report this matter to him in detail. We can't let this anger go to waste!"
The three Martial Arts Ninth Layer experts spoke word by word, venting their displeasure.
Hong Qingxuan, on the other hand, had already furrowed his brows. From time to time, he would look at the path he had come from.
"Qingxuan, you just said that our lives are in danger. What do you mean?"
Ninth Uncle remembered Hong Qingxuan's words and asked.
"Uncles, have you thought of a possibility? If this isn't only Master Bao's intention, even the Eldest Young Master wants to use us as cannon fodder, what should we do?"
Hong Qingxuan's words were shocking.
"That's impossible! We are all the eldest young master's uncles, and we are also the upper echelons of the family. With our value, would we be cannon fodder? This is simply a joke! "
" This... shouldn't be possible, right? If he dares to do this, even if he is the number one genius of Hong family and the direct grandson of the patriarch, our Hong family won't tolerate him. "
"Perhaps this is really possible? Think about it. The Great Elder, Hong Yuan, volunteered himself, but was rejected by him. What that Master Bao said at that time..."
After a round of discussion, it was hard for the people of Hong family to calm down.
Although some of them didn't want to believe it, they didn't dare to lower their guard when it came to their own lives.
"With the strength of Master Bao and the young master, we won't be able to help much even if we stay here. In my opinion, we should return now and request an audience with the Patriarch when we return. According to the truth, it would at most be a punishment... "
Hong Qingxuan intended to persuade the elders to leave this place.
"It's not good to leave just like that, right? If the Eldest Young Master asks about the crime, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear it."
"What exactly is the situation here? We still haven't figured out what's going on, yet we're withdrawing. Wouldn't that be a joke?"
"If the Precious Treasure really comes into being, then can we get a share?"
Xu Feng looked on coldly. He saw that after the Xu family's discussion, they had made their decision. A rather cautious Ninth Layer expert was willing to leave with Hong Xuanwu.
As for Xu Feng, he was ignored by them.
"Black Tortoise, what should we do with this burden?"
One! An expert looked at Xu Feng and asked.
"What can such a burden do? Kill him!" Another person suggested.
Hong Xuanwu looked at Xu Feng and said, "Xu Young Patriarch, do you have any last words? If there is a chance, I will pass it on to the Xu family for you."
Xu Feng's sense of existence had always been very low. These experts of the Hong family who had suffered a lot in the past naturally didn't like him, so killing him wouldn't be any easier.
At this moment, many thoughts had also flashed through Xu Feng's mind.
As soon as Hong Xuanwu left, he might die immediately, and his chances of survival wouldn't be high. Besides, Hong Xuanwu might not end up well either.
He couldn't let them leave right now. As long as they waited for Hong Qingxuan to appear and wait for the right time, they would have a chance to escape.
All of them looked at Xu Feng with killing intent.
"Cough cough... Hong Xuanwu, if I were you, I wouldn't have such a stupid idea."
Xu Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression did not show any signs of panic.
"What do you mean?" Ninth Uncle walked to Xu Feng and placed his palm on top of Xu Feng's head. The Yuan Qi that came out of his palm touched Xu Feng's long hair.
As long as this palm landed lightly, Xu Feng would die a violent death.
"You have underestimated the strength of the Martial Essence Stage Expert. You have overestimated the importance of the Martial Essence Stage Expert in Hong Qingxuan's heart. Since he has brought all of you here, that Master Bao will allow all of you to stay here. I'm not afraid that all of you will escape. If you don't believe me, you can try. "
Xu Feng's words caused the expressions of the Hong family's experts to change.
"Kid, what basis do you have for your words?" One of the Hong family's experts questioned.
Xu Feng spread his hands and said, "There's no basis. It's just a guess."
"Black Tortoise, why don't we wait until the young master comes?" Ninth Uncle was filled with fear, and at the same time, his eyes flickered with a fierce light. "However, there's no need to keep this kid alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped down with his palm and killed Xu Feng!
Not only did he feel that Xu Feng was an eyesore, but he also treated Xu Feng as a punching bag to vent the anger in his heart.
Xu Feng sighed in his heart, "My life is over..."
"Ninth Uncle, stop!" At this crucial moment, Hong Xuanwu's words pulled Xu Feng back from the gates of hell.
Hong Xuanwu walked up to Xu Feng and said, "Xu Young Patriarch. This Ululating Mountain is the territory of Xu family. During the trip to the secret realm, your Xu family had won a great victory. You should know a lot of information, right? If you can prove your worth, you can die later. "
The experts of Hong family finally understood what Hong Xuanwu was trying to do. They agreed with what Hong Xuanwu did, and no longer shouted at Xu Feng to kill him.
"The secret realm in the depths of the Ululating Mountain mine is left by an expert. Apart from a few high ranked martial arts, there was nothing else of value in it. But... the reason why that senior chose this place as his cave and left behind his inheritance... The reason why that senior chose this place as his cave and left behind his inheritance was because this Ululating Mountain is special to begin with. "
Xu Feng considered his words carefully, and his words were half true and half false.
The few people from the Hong family immediately became excited, and they listened attentively.
"That senior used the rich fire elemental Yuan energy in this place to cultivate, but before he died, he sealed the cave. His purpose wasn't to protect the inheritance, but to seal that place."
According to Xu Feng, the skeleton had been thinking about the treasures in the underground world of Ululating Mountain, but he couldn't obtain them even after he died. Therefore, he placed a seal before his death.
Anything that he could not obtain, no one else would be able to obtain it!
Perhaps there was another goal. The time for the underground Precious Treasure to be born had yet to come into being, so it was sealed there to prevent this place from being destroyed.
"In the end, where is your value?" Hong Xuanwu asked.
One. The expert from the Hong family sneered, "This kid is hiding some tricks. No wonder Hong Qingyun and the others were all killed. With the overall strength of this kid and the young generation of the Xu family, how could he be a match for the Hong family?"
"Xu Feng, what trick did you use to kill Hong Qingyun?"
"Now that things have come to this point, I will tell you the truth. The Flaming Palm that I am cultivating is the main martial art of that senior. I can use some of the techniques left behind by that senior there. Furthermore, I feel that the martial art I'm cultivating... There is a faint connection with something in this mountain..."
"Flaming Palm? It must be of a high rank, right? Hand over that martial art!" An expert from the Hong family said.
"Why would I carry such an important thing with me? Besides... even if you have it now, you won't be able to cultivate it in time, right? "
The rest of them understood what Xu Feng meant. The second half of Xu Feng's words just now had ignited a fire in their hearts!
"Contact... Could it be that it is related to the Precious Treasure that is about to be born?"
"It's very likely! This unusual change in the Ululating Mountain should also be facilitated by this kid!"
"The young master asked us to bring him here. Apart from avenging Hong Qingyun, could it be that he has also guessed this?"
" Xu Feng, do you sense anything now? " Hong Xuanwu couldn't help but be moved. If he could obtain the Precious Treasure that even the Martial Essence Stage Expert was envious of...
