Chapter 120 News from the Depths of the Burning Flame Mountains (Please Subscribe!)

"Didn't they say there was only one demon beast about to break through to the third rank?" Lu Cheng'an exclaimed in surprise.

Of course, this was a deliberate act on his part, since he already knew about the monsters deep within the Burning Flame Mountains from Zhu Yan.

"I don't know the specific reason either; this news came from that Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Heavenly Flame Sect!"

Xu Shao frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "The Tianyan Sect has a total of three Golden Core cultivators, but right now the Azure Lion Demon King of the Hong'e Mountains is causing trouble, and the two Golden Core cultivators of the Tianyan Sect have been summoned by the Desolate Ancient Sect. We don't know when they will return."

If those two demonic beasts from the Burning Flame Mountains were to simultaneously break through to the third tier, the Heavenly Flame Sect might not be able to kill them both in time!

Third-tier demonic beasts are comparable to cultivators at the Golden Core stage. If we cannot suppress and kill those two demonic beasts when they break through to the third tier, it will become extremely difficult to kill them later.

"Are there no other Golden Core cultivators besides those from the Tianyan Sect?" Lu Cheng'an asked, frowning.

“There are indeed other Golden Core cultivators, but the Heavenly Flame Sect has always regarded the Burning Flame Mountain Range as its own hunting ground and does not allow other Golden Core cultivators to set foot there, including this time!”

Xu Shao sighed and said, "The corpses of third-tier demonic beasts are all treasures to us cultivators. Even under such circumstances, the Tianyan Sect does not want to give up such treasures."

According to my master, the Heavenly Flame Sect intends to recruit Foundation Establishment cultivators within its territory to join forces with the sect's Golden Core cultivators to attack the two third-tier demonic beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains!

Lu Cheng'an was startled and quickly asked, "Would a Foundation Establishment power like our Lu family be conscripted?"

It's obvious how dangerous it is to fight a third-tier demonic beast. If the Lu family were also among those conscripted, even three more Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be enough to kill them.

"You don't need to worry about that. The cultivators recruited by the Tianyan Sect are at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage."

Xu Shao sighed and said, "Your Lu family is too close to the Burning Flame Mountain Range. You are likely to be attacked by monsters that rush out of the Burning Flame Mountain Range. That is why Master asked me to remind your Lu family to prepare in advance."

"Thank you for telling me this news, Fellow Daoist Xu. I will return to my clan now and discuss it with the cultivators there before making any arrangements," Lu Cheng'an said.

The news brought by the Tianyan Sect was unexpected by the Dan Ding Sect, and now the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect are also feeling overwhelmed.

Therefore, after Lu Cheng'an proposed to leave, Xu Shao did not try to persuade him to stay.

After leaving the Dan Ding Sect, Lu Cheng'an immediately relayed the news to Lu Wenxing.

He did not return to Chiyan Mountain afterward, but instead hurriedly went to Qing'e Island.

Zhu Yan's current cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the second tier, which is not considered particularly weak even deep within the Burning Flame Mountains.

She may have even more detailed information about the Pink Flame Mountain Range than the Heavenly Flame Sect.

Lu Cheng'an planned to inquire about the situation of the Burning Flame Mountains from Zhu Yan, and then have his clan make preparations in advance.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're finally back!" Zhu Yan's eyes lit up with surprise when she saw Lu Cheng'an return.

Upon seeing Zhu Yan's reaction, Lu Cheng'an's heart stirred, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out, instead asking, "Has anything happened on Green Crocodile Island during this time?"

"Indeed, something has happened. We Fire-Slaying Earth Spiders have a nemesis, the Black-Armored Flame Scorpion, deep in the Burning Flame Mountains. Recently, the Black-Armored Flame Scorpion has had some incredible luck, with two new second-tier cultivators joining its clan."

Zhu Yan said with resentment, "There are four second-tier cultivators in the Black Armor Flame Scorpion Clan now, and their clan leader has also broken through to the mid-second-tier. During this time, they found our place on Green Crocodile Island. If it weren't for the Xuan Turtle Fire Gang Array protecting Green Crocodile Island, we might have already fallen victim to their poisonous attacks!"

Not all four second-tier cultivators of the Black Armor Flame Scorpion clan were mobilized. Zhu Yan, whose cultivation was at the mid-second tier, managed to block the Black Armor Flame Scorpion's attack with difficulty, relying on the power of the mid-grade second-tier Xuan Turtle Fire Qi Formation.

"Where are the Black Armor Flame Scorpion cultivators now? I didn't see any trace of them when I entered Green Crocodile Island," Lu Cheng'an asked.

“Five days ago, a small eruption occurred in a volcano about a hundred miles southwest of Qingcrocodile Island, revealing many treasures. The cultivators of the Black Armor Flame Scorpion clan all went there to search for treasures before leaving Qingcrocodile Island,” Zhu Yan said.

Although volcanic eruptions are extremely dangerous, they also produce a great deal of treasure.

If you're lucky enough to find a treasure that suits you from a volcanic eruption, you might just soar to great heights.

"Volcanic eruption?"

A look of shock appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face, and he asked urgently, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, how much do you know about the situation deep within the Burning Flame Mountains? How long will it take for the Fire Bone Lizard and the Earth Flame Python to break through to the third rank?"

"I haven't ventured deep into the Burning Flame Mountains for quite some time, but based on the information I gathered before, the Fire Bone Lizard and the Earth Flame Python should break through within this year."

Seeing the serious expression on Lu Cheng'an's face, Zhu Yan knew what Lu Cheng'an was worried about.

She had previously visited Chiyan Mountain, where the Lu family lived, at Lu Cheng'an's invitation. That location was too close to the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

If the volcano in the Burning Flame Mountains erupts and the monsters living in the Burning Flame Mountains rush out, the Lu family will definitely be affected.

"Once you help me defeat the cultivators of the Black Armor Flame Scorpion clan, I will venture deeper into the Burning Flame Mountains to investigate further."

Zhu Yan looked at Lu Cheng'an and said in a deep voice, "However, your Lu family still needs to make preparations as soon as possible. There are quite a few second-tier demonic beasts living in the Burning Flame Mountains. Once the volcanoes in the Burning Flame Mountains erupt on a large scale, they will definitely rush out of the Burning Flame Mountains." The spiritual energy deep in the Burning Flame Mountains is extremely rich, and there is more than one third-tier spiritual vein.

The environment of the Burning Flame Mountains is too harsh, which is why no human forces have established their mountain gates there.

This also led to a large number of monsters living in the Burning Flame Mountains.

These demonic beasts usually live in the Burning Flame Mountains, especially the second-tier demonic beasts, which rarely leave the Burning Flame Mountains.

The environment outside the Burning Flame Mountains is extremely dangerous for these second-tier demonic beasts, because in the eyes of human cultivators, the corpses of these second-tier demonic beasts are priceless treasures.

A complete second-tier demon beast corpse is enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to complete their cultivation needs for a long time.

Even now, many independent cultivators still venture deep into the Burning Flame Mountains to hunt second-tier demonic beasts in order to earn the resources needed for cultivation.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu, I will definitely help you defeat the cultivators of the Black Armor Flame Scorpion Clan!" Lu Cheng'an said solemnly.

To be honest, Lu Cheng'an didn't take the Black Armor Flame Scorpion clan cultivators seriously.

The patriarch of the Black Armor Flame Scorpion clan is a mid-stage second-tier cultivator, while the other three are all at the early stage of the second tier.

The clan leader can be dealt with by Zhu Yan, and the remaining three early-stage second-tier Black Armor Flame Scorpions are no match for him.

Moreover, they did not send out all of them; they only sent out two early-stage second-tier Black Armor Flame Scorpions.

After making arrangements with Zhu Yan, Lu Cheng'an immediately returned to the fire spring on Qing'e Island. He then took out a communication talisman and relayed the information he had obtained from Zhu Yan about the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains to Lu Wenxing.

Lu Chengan had not been back for long, and Lu Wenxing and Lu Chengping's injuries had not yet fully healed.

However, after Lu Cheng'an left Tianhong Mountain, Lu Wenxing and Lu Wen'an did not continue to treat their injuries, but instead began to deal with the aftermath of the destruction of the Tianhong Zhao family.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, Lu Wenxing immediately changed his plans.

He originally planned to move the Lu family members from the Jinyuan Mountains back to Chiyan Mountain.

Qiao Liusheng has already helped the Lu family to organize the ordinary members of the Lu family living near Jinyuan Mountain.

Even though Qiao Liusheng didn't mistreat the Lu family's mortals too much, without the protection of the Lu family's cultivators, these mortal members of the Lu family still didn't live very well.

Over the years, the number of Lu family mortals remaining near Jinyuan Mountain has decreased rather than increased, and is now less than 40,000.

These ordinary people, plus the ordinary clansmen who were taken away by the Zhao family of Tianhong, together make up just 40,000 people in the two places.

The Jinyuan Mountain and the Fenyan Mountain range are thousands of miles apart, which is not a short distance.

No matter how the volcano in the Burning Flame Mountains erupts this time, it will not affect the Golden Source Mountain.

Therefore, after receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, Lu Wenxing directly instructed these ordinary members of the Lu family to continue living near Jinyuan Mountain.

Afterwards, he instructed Lu Chengping to handle the follow-up matters of the Tianhong Zhao family.

After making the arrangements, Lu Wenxing did not return directly to his family, but went to Tianyan City.

After destroying the Zhao family, they made the family's finances prosperous again.

Lu Wenxing's trip to Tianyan City was mainly to purchase some treasures that would help the Lu family successfully weather the volcanic eruption of the Burning Flame Mountains.

The only treasures that can be effective are spirit arrays and talismans.

The spirit array that Lu Wenxing is going to purchase this time is of the second-tier high-grade level. The spiritual energy consumed by activating a spirit array of this grade is extremely terrifying, and it is not easy for a cultivator to activate a spirit array of this grade.

The reason why Lu Wenxing dared to purchase a second-tier high-grade spirit array was mainly because Lu Chengping was a second-tier low-grade spirit array master.

The effect of a spirit array being activated by a spirit array master is completely different from that of a cultivator who is not proficient in spirit arrays.

Although Lu Chengping is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he can easily activate a second-tier high-grade spirit array.

In addition, Lu Wenxing planned to purchase more second-tier, mid-to-high-grade talismans.

The two second-tier mid-grade defensive talismans he had purchased earlier played a significant role in their successful annihilation of the Zhao family.

Green Crocodile Island.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of what Lu Wenxing had done. After telling Lu Wenxing about the Burning Flame Mountains, he began to devote himself to cultivating the Fire Dragon Seal, a second-tier defensive technique.
