"Is she dead?"
"My brothers helped in that punch and big brother even utilised all his strength. Even if Chi Guyan is not dead, I doubt that she can stand up!"
"Second brother is right, but the Thousand Years Fire Herb is still in the mountain. I think we should still go in and check it, just in case. We can also drag Chi Guyan’s body out at the sa ti!"
"Your words make sense, brother!"
The two old n witnessed the strike that had resulted Chi Guyan to fall down into the volcano. They looked confused and had no idea if such a situation was fortunate or not to them.
But that place was the Black Moon Island and it was located in the Nine Pinnacle Mountain area.
Chi Guyan might be from the Heavenly Dao Pavilion and also soone whom the Pavilion Leader very much respected. But they could still kill the person, once he or she broke into the Black Moon Island to steal its treasures.
"Big Brother!"
"Brothers, follow down!" He stood solemnly at the mouth of the volcano, where the flas continuously spurted out.
"Okay!" The two brothers heard his command and nodded their heads.
The three of them did not hesitate in the air for long before they headed into the volcano mountain. The mountain was looking extrely stable and calm now.
They could see the boiling magma, once they plunged into the volcano.
The terrible heat created cracks and gaps in the inner wall of the volcano. Red crystal stones were embedded in those cracks, and their lights radiating faintly.
Fire Volcano Crystal.
One of the materials to make weapons.
It was also considered to be a treasure in the Black Moon Island.
But its value was nothing compared to that of the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
When the three of them had entered the mountain, their eyes imdiately looked towards one of the cracks in the crater.
It was a crack that could barely fit a person. From the outside, it was no different from the other cracks. However, there was a protruding rock that was raised like an umbrella in that crack.
And under the umbrella-shaped rock, a red glow was looming.
That looked like a lump of fla.
However, it was not exactly a fla, because there was a plant which was enveloped by the red rays in the center of that fla.
It wasn’t a massive one. It was just the size of a palm, and it was round in shape.
Nonetheless, from the roots of the plants to the top of the round leaves, everything looked as clear as crystals. From the outside, there was a cluster of red air flowing, and each stem vein was clear and visible.
"It’s still here!" The three n saw the Thousand Years Fire Herb and heaved a sigh of relief. The Thousand Years Fire Herb was really a precious treasure.
The existence of it involved a huge amount of ti and luck.
The fla would gather in the crater, and occasionally one or two stem of the herb would grow. While that might not be rare, the environnt inside the crater was totally different from the outside.
How could the weak herb survive if the volcano were to explode?
Coincidentally, the Thousand Years Fire Herb grew from between the cracks, where the protruding stone was protecting it from the magma.
More importantly, the umbrella-shaped rock was able to retain the maximum amount of heat that would otherwise escape, allowing the fire herb to grow.
That was how the stem of herb was able to grow at such a fast speed in this condition. It was being protected from being overwheld by the hot magma.
And it had survived for a very long ti.
Nobody could imagine how precious it was.
However.....
Just as the three of them were feeling relieved, a pink figure flashed past in front of their eyes.
Charging towards the cracks in a swift.
The next mont, a foot stepped on the umbrella-shaped rock above the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
In the dark cracks, rays of red light sparkly softly. Her pink dress swayed along with the heat waves, and a fla was burning on the rock under her long dress.
That was the strangest scene.
From one look, it looked like the old n had just seen a ghost.
In reality, the three old n all had flabbergasted expressions on their faces. Their eyes widened, as they glared at Chi Guyan incomprehensibly, who was standing at the area above the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
A hard and firm punch on her back.
But she was still alive?!
Whether it was the old n standing on both sides or the old man in the middle, nobody could believe the reality. After all, it was true that they did not show rcy during their strike just now.
"Chi Guyan, please calm down, don’t do that. We can understand how desperate you are about the Thousand Years Fire Herb, how about... We exchange 10 ounces of the herb with your one bottle of the Snow Mountain Ice. How about that?"
"We don’t need the Snow Mountain ice!"
"15 ounces, we could give you the 15 ounces for free. You have seen how scarce the Thousand Years Fire Herb is.... 15 ounces, that’s the limit, we have no idea how long will the next batch of the herbs grow up again after the 15 ounces!"
The two n from the sides were really frantic now.
With such a close distance, it was impossible for them to stop Chi Guyan. As long as she waved her hands slightly, that would be the end of the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
"Chi Guyan, you are already injured badly....... Quit being so crazy, even if you really managed to get the Thousand Years Fire Herb, there’s no way for you to bring them out!" The man in the middle spoke up.
"Hong hong!"
The volcano started vibrating again, and the rolling magma was boiling in the crater. The intense heat waves blew against the black robes of the three old n.
But the three of them did not move an inch.
Because Chi Guyan was motionless as well.
Chi Guyan resembled a carved statue, as she stood there quietly on the umbrella-shaped rock where the Thousand Years Fire Herb was at.
Her crystal clear eyes were fixated on the three n.
She seed to be considering about the negotiations.
That was what the three n were thinking in their heads. But that idea was quickly erased, after they saw a slight ray of light shining on the forehead of Chi Guyan.
The light seed to be erging out from her forehead.
"This is?!"
"You......Chi Guyan, are you..."
"Chi Guyan!"
Whether it was the old n at the sides or the old man in the middle, their faces turned pale with astonishnt after seeing the bright light shining on Chi Guyan’s forehead.
That really terrified them.
Silence.
Because Chi Guyan did not reply the three of them, as she only raised her head slightly and stared at the stars shining into the volcano mountain.
And more light began shining out from her forehead.
Gradually it beca brighter, brighter....
"Weng!"
All of a sudden, the power of nature seed to have been activated, as the ripples of light revealed from Chi Guyan’s body. It condensed behind her instead of spreading out.
It continued to solidify around her.
Very quickly, a faint shadow ca to view.
It was a black silhouette hidden in the crack. It looked a bit blurry at first but it was clear that it was a human figure.
And it was that of a female’s.
Long black hair fell from top to bottom, blocking the bright lights in front of her chest. There was no expression in the eyes. But they were looking down coldly on the three old n in front of them.
This figure was indeed of a high majestic status.
The most special part was that there was a very prominent mark on her forehead.
And it was made up of five colours of light rays which ford the mark.
"Live, or die?" Chi Guyan’s hand lifted up slightly as light rays began shining out from the blade. Her face was looking as pale as ever and her mouth still had blood stains around it.
Patches of bright red blood stained her long dress.
Moreover, her body was still trembling all over, be it her foot on the stone or her right hand which was holding onto the long spear.
Chi Guyan did not look like she was in a good condition...
But given her current condition, she still offered the choices of either letting them live or die.
More importantly.....
After hearing the following from Chi Guyan, the three old n did not smile at all. Rather, they all seed to be at a loss.
The three sages actually felt threatened from the words coming out of a trembling Chi Guyan?
That was unbelievable.
But that had truly happened in front of them.
"That was what everyone ant by the first bloodline of the Xuan Heavenly Dao Body?"
"Big brother, what do we do now?"
"Chi Guyan......She didn’t look like she wanted to get the Thousand Years Fire Herb straightaway. Was she thinking about fighting here with us?"
The two old n hesitated for a while before turning their attention to the one in the middle. Their expressions were all looking complexed.
"We can’t lose the Thousand Years Fire Herb!" The one in the middle made eye contact with the rest before looking at the figure behind Chi Guyan, as he tightened his grip.
"Understood!"
"We will all listen to you, big brother!"
The two old n listened and nodded their heads.
"Chi Guyan, embrace your death!"
"KILL!"
Along with the two voices, the two old n rushed towards Chi Guyan. At the sa ti, two rays of black and white light shone out from them.
It almost flooded the entire area of the volcano mountain.
"Step back!" Chi Guyan shouted once again when they were one inch away from Chi Guyan.
As soon as the voice died down.
The figure behind Chi Guyan started moving. Her black silky hair swayed in the air, as the multi rays of colours continued to swirl around on her forehead.
Then, two fists stretched out from in between the cracks.
"Bam!"
A loud sound could be heard.
The black and white light resembled a broken mirror, instantly turning into countless light spots.
As the two fists struck on the bodies of the two n.
"Hong!"
A loud sound ca out again.
The two n were directly pushed onto the inner walls of the volcano, causing the original rock crystals that had been embedded in the inner walls of the crater to fall.
"Di da di da..."
The crystal bits of rocks rained down and dropped into the fla, forming little thick waves of liquid.
"Pu!"
"Pu!"
The two n spitted out a pool of blood almost imdiately, as they fixed their eyes on the figure that slowly retreated into the cracks.
They were both traumatised.
They had no other way of expressing their emotions, because a crack that looked like a turtle net was spreading out rapidly.
After all these years, the volcano rocks which had undergone countless years of showering from the fla, were different from ordinary rocks outside. The rocks inside were strong and hard, and even the sharp blades were unable to cut it open.
But now...
It was being splitted open imdiately.
How could that not scare them?
"So powerful!"
"Why was it so powerful?"
"I can’t believe that even though I have entered the Sage State, I can’t even beat a young 17 years old lady. This first bloodline of the Xuan Heavenly Dao Body is really impressive!"
"Big brother, we..."
"No need to say anything more!" The old man standing in the air reached out and stopped the other two behind him. He did not pay attention to the two of them.
In fact, since earlier...
He had never let Chi Guyan leave his sight.
And his eyes were extrely black. They resembled two black holes, and there was not a tad of white colour in them.
"Rumble!"
At that mont, the boiling magma exploded. Everyone was not sure if it was because of the two old n who crashed onto the inner walls, or it was just due to erupt.
The hot lava spouted from below, like a fire dragon vomiting breaths of red air.
"Younger brothers, please leave first!" The old n standing in the air began moving, as darkness enveloped the entrance of the volcano mountain.
His body vanished as soon as he finished his sentence.
It was blending.
It blended into the darkness.
Chi Guyan had also started moving at the sa ti.
"If you are able to do it, I can do it too!" Chi Guyan mumbled under her breath, as she carried the blade with her and flew towards the Thousand Years Fire Herb. She was moving as swift as lightning.
But just as the tip of the blade was about to reach the Thousand Years Fire Herb...
The blade halted in its tracks.
As there was a ball of darkness in front of the blade. It was of the size of a palm.
"Chi Guyan, dream on!" A voice bood out from the darkness, as it filled the air in the volcano mountain.
...
"Big brother!" The old n looked at the ball of darkness that had entered into the crack. They wanted to mouth out sothing. However, the magma below was already spewing onto the soles of their feet. This clenched their teeth forcefully and flew out of the crater.
"Hong long long..."
Hot magma spewed from the crater, and rushed into the sky. It exploded, turning into thick rock liquid, flowing down from the mouth of the volcano mountain.
High pitch screeching sounds of the animals filled the sky.
The waves crashed, under the light of the stars, and the flas rose up the sky as red light illuminated the dark Black Moon Island. The black moonstone above the crater was being dyed red.
