Venerable Martial Emperor

With this speed, they would reach the Ululating Mountain in less than half an hour.    

    

Hong Qingxuan held Xu Feng's shoulder with one hand and personally dragged him forward. Hong Xuanwu, on the other hand, was grabbed by his neck by Master Bao and brought him to the front.    

    

A strong wind whistled past his ears. Xu Feng had never experienced something like this before. He was like a little chicken that was caught by someone. His life and death depended on a single thought from someone else.    

    

"Hehe... You are still afraid. When those two people died just now, you were furious, right?"    

    

Hong Qingxuan was vicious and ruthless. He kept Xu Feng alive to torture him so that he would rather die than live.    

    

"Hong Qingxuan, you will definitely end up worse than your brother!"    

    

Xu Feng opened his mouth and said. Strong wind poured into his stomach, causing his Qi and blood to fluctuate. He spat out another large mouthful of blood and was sent flying backwards by the wind. His face was filled with shock.    

    

Seeing Xu Feng in such a sorry state, Hong Qingxuan laughed out loud. He was very happy.    

    

"If you beg me, I will not torture you anymore. Your attitude will be better. Say more words that make me happy. Maybe I will let you go. I'll spare your life. I don't know how many ants like you have been killed by me, so don't take any chances. Your life is in my hands."    

    

Xu Feng realized the danger he was in. This little thought of his couldn't be hidden from Hong Qingxuan.    

    

The reason why he dared to scold Hong Qingxuan wasn't because he was eager to die, but because he didn't want to die.    

    

This was to attract Hong Qingxuan's attention, so that he wouldn't kill him easily.    

    

This was a deadly game. Hong Qingxuan enjoyed the pleasure of torturing Xu Feng. What Xu Feng wanted was a chance to survive in death.    

    

However, it was obvious that Hong Qingxuan was a very smart person. He had grasped Xu Feng's mentality and was interested in playing this game with Xu Feng. This gave Xu Feng a chance to live.    

    

However, this process must be extremely dangerous for Xu Feng. When Hong Qingxuan lost interest, or when Xu Feng asked him to die, it would be the end of the game.    

    

About half an hour later, Hong Qingxuan and the others had arrived at the bottom of Ululating Mountain.    

    

Before the great change, the Ululating Mountain was verdant and lush. The peaks of the mountains towered into the clouds, and the mountains stretched for hundreds of miles.    

    

However, after the volcanic eruption in the depths of the earth, and the unusual activities in the past few days, the entire mountain had become a land of death.    

    

It was a devastated land, and not a single patch of green could be seen. The air was filled with a choking smell, and from time to time, large balls of fire would shoot out from the mountaintop in all directions.    

    

The entire mountain was covered in dark brown and dark red; the black color was the frozen lava pieces; the red lava was flowing and wreaking havoc in the mountain.    

    

Ululating Mountain was half a meter shorter than before. At the top of the mountain, a black smoke soared into the sky. It trembled from time to time and shot out red magma.    

    

Before they went up the mountain, just the temperature at the bottom was close to the volcano, and it made people sweat profusely and suffocate.    

    

Although this was a dangerous and dangerous place, to martial artists, as long as they didn't directly enter the core of the volcano where the peak of Ululating Mountain was located, even if there was danger, it wouldn't be fatal.    

    

Compared to the temptation of the Precious Treasure coming into being, taking a little bit of risk wasn't a big deal.    

    

"Strange, such a remote place, and such a short period of time since the unusual change happened here, we should be the fastest to come here. What's with the two waves of Martial Essence Stage Expert fluctuation we sensed earlier?"    

    

When they arrived at this place, Hong Qingxuan was the first to stop. He raised his head and looked at the Ululating Mountain. Everyone stopped in their tracks, and Bao Jiang raised his question.    

    

"If the Precious Treasure really came into being, and someone was even faster than us, then the biggest possibility is that they were already prepared and had set their sights on this place a long time ago. In that case, our luck is really good, and we just happened to catch up. "    

    

Hong Qingxuan planned and strategized, and said with a smile.    

    

"There is no way to go up the mountain. How should we go up? Where is the Precious Treasure?" An elder of the Hong family couldn't help but ask.    

    

Hong Qingxuan pointed at the black smoke at the peak of the Ululating Mountain, "A treasure that can cause the movement of the Heavens and Earth and has such a wide area of effect is naturally located at the core of the Ululating Mountain."    

    

"Hiss! Eldest Young Master means that the treasure is in the magma of the volcano? Then how can we get it?"    

    

An elder couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.    

    

Bao Jiang waved his sleeve and looked at that elder with disdain. He said proudly, "Ignorant fool, what's wrong with the magma? This kind of earth fire is just normal. With the entire volcano as the cauldron and the fire essence as the furnace, this is the Precious Treasure!"    

    

The elder of Hong family, who had been ridiculed, was so angry that his body was trembling. However, he didn't dare to make a sound in front of Bao Jiang, who was a mighty Martial Essence Stage Expert.    

    

"Master Bao, my seniors have lived in the Celestial Wind City for a long time. It's understandable that they have narrow horizons. Don't lower yourself to their level."    

    

After saying that, Hong Qingxuan left Xu Feng behind and asked Hong Xuanwu to keep an eye on him. After that, he gave the order.    

    

"Master Bao, bring two people up the mountain from the front and find a safe path. Make a mark along the way. I will bring two people up from the west. Hong Xuanwu. Keep an eye on this kid. Arrange an elder to protect you. Follow the path of Master Bao and the others."    

    

When Xu Feng heard Hong Qingxuan's arrangement, he immediately became excited.    

    

However, his next words caused Xu Feng's heart to drop to the bottom of the valley.    

    

"If this kid doesn't behave properly and makes any unusual movements, just kill him."    

    

Hong Xuanwu nodded in agreement, then respectfully bowed to Hong Qingxuan and asked, "Young master, my ability is very weak. I hope you can take me along with you. What can I do to help you with this trip?"    

    

Just using it to supervise Xu Feng was enough for a few experts. Hong Qingxuan had noticed him, so he specifically asked them to bring him along. What was the purpose of this trip?    

    

"Listen to my instructions. Once the matter is settled, you will get benefits!"    

    

Hong Qingxuan gave Hong Qingxuan a cold glance. Then, he casually pointed at two experts from the Hong family and left first.    

    

Bao Jiang pointed at the two of them, but he didn't walk to the front. Instead, he let the two Martial Arts Ninth Layer experts from the Hong family lead the way.    

    

With his Martial Essence Stage Expert, if he encountered any danger, he would be able to react in time to make up for it.    

    

Hong Xuanwu respectfully addressed the remaining warrior as Ninth Uncle.    

    

"Black Tortoise, put this brat down first. You should consume some Medicine Pill and adjust your condition to its peak. When Master Bao and the others have more or less cleared the way, we will continue forward." Ninth Uncle said to Hong Xuanwu.    

    

This arrangement was very reasonable. If they followed Bao Jiang and the others, it would be no different from following them all the way, and they would also be restrained by Bao Jiang.    

    

Hong Qingxuan arranged for them to walk at the back, for the sake of their safety. Since that was the case, it was not impossible for them to stay and rest for a while.    

    

Hong Xuanwu looked at Xu Feng. Ninth Uncle told him to rest assured that he would take good care of Xu Feng.    

    

"Eldest Young Master has said that if he dares to make any unusual movements, we will kill him. Black Tortoise, this fellow is a burden and an enemy that the Hong family must eliminate. Why don't we just kill him here? "    

    

Seeing that Bao Jiang and the others had already left, Ninth Uncle looked at Xu Feng with a gloomy killing intent and suggested.    

    

Hong Xuanwu seemed to be moved and looked at Xu Feng.    

    

Xu Feng immediately closed his eyes. Such a situation could only be left to fate.    

    

"Ninth Uncle, try your best to bring him up the mountain so that Eldest Young Master can fulfill Eldest Young Master's wish of personally taking revenge for Young Master Qingyun." Hong Xuanwu's voice rang out.    

    

"Fine, I'll listen to you then." Although Ninth Uncle was a Martial Arts Ninth Layer warrior, he still had some respect for Hong Xuanwu, a junior.    

    

Geniuses of large families had always enjoyed special privileges.    

    

Hong Xuanwu's cultivation base was only above average among the disciples of Hong family. However, after Hong Qingyun's death, his disposition and potential were considered superior. He had received the love and support of many elders of Hong family.    

    

"Xu Feng, give up on any unrealistic ideas. Be honest, I can make you suffer less."    

    

Hong Xuanwu warned Xu Feng, but he didn't restrict his movements. He sat cross-legged on the ground, swallowed a Medicine Pill, and began to breathe and circulate his Yuan Qi to adjust his condition.    

    

The temperature here was extremely high. Xu Feng's entire body was drenched in sweat, and his face was pale. Suddenly, he could not stand stably and fell to the ground.    

    

Xu Feng took out a Medicine Pill from his bosom. He ignored Ninth Uncle and directly swallowed it.    

    

Ninth Uncle snorted coldly, raised his hand, and then put it down.    

    

Everyone had seen Xu Feng's injuries. No matter how good the healing Medicine Pill was, it would not be able to recover in a short period of time.    

    

The palm of the Hong family's Great Elder had sealed off Xu Feng's Qi Sea and Martial Vein. Currently, he was like an arrow at the end of its flight.    

    

If he didn't consume the Medicine Pill, he would be able to persist until he reached the Ululating Mountain. Ninth Uncle didn't want to waste time and effort to carry him up.    

    

Xu Feng only used ordinary healing Medicine Pill. After Hong Xuanwu woke up from meditation, Xu Feng only barely recovered his physical strength, and his injuries were slightly better.    

    

Ninth Uncle took the lead, Xu Feng walked in the middle, and Hong Xuanwu took the rear. The three of them followed the marks Bao Jiang and the others had made along the way to the mountain.    

    

The higher they went, the more marks they would have, because the higher they went, the more dangerous it would be.    

    

As far as one's eyes could see, it was either still steaming hot lava, or still flowing fiery-red lava.    

    

This road that was marked meandered upwards. It was very rugged, because it had to avoid some dangerous places.    

    

Walking and stopping, Hong Xuanwu's cultivation was only at the sixth level of the Martial Path. Although he was at his peak state, he could not withstand this kind of scorching heat. Walking too fast, the fire poison in his body invaded, and he was afraid that it would cause injuries.    

    

This also gave Xu Feng a chance to breathe and live. If he rushed at full speed, he was afraid that he would not be able to persist until he reached the top of the mountain.    

    

Uncle Jiu and Hong Xuanwu did not prohibit Xu Feng from consuming the Medicine Pill. Uncle Jiu, on the other hand, found a few 'Essence Cultivating Pills' from Xu Feng and gave them to Hong Xuanwu.    

    

Xu Feng was struggling on the verge of death. After an unknown amount of time, the three of them slowed down their pace until they saw three figures in front of them.    

    

Bao Jiang and the two experts from the Hong family who followed him were less than a hundred steps away from the top of the mountain.    

    

Ninth Uncle suddenly cried out in surprise. He pushed Xu Feng away and signaled Hong Xuanwu to come closer. He pointed to the front and said, "Something doesn't seem right... Gu Zhengshu and Gu Zhizhou, why did they seem to be seriously injured? With Master Bao around, who can hurt them?"    

    

Among the three people in front of them, Bao Jiang had already walked to the front. Two experts from the Hong family followed behind him. However, a dignified Martial Arts Ninth Layer warrior was walking slowly with his back bent. His steps were even slower than Xu Feng's.    

    

Gu Xuanwu stared at him for a moment. His calm expression had changed. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Ninth Uncle, "Let's go back the way we came. If we go any further, I'm afraid we will lose our lives here!"
