Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi, having heard Sun Huo's words, immediately asked:

"Are you sure it's a dormant volcano? This eruption is way too..."

Lava, rocks, and volcanic ash rained down on everyone's heads, causing ripples to spread across the shields.

Sun Huo's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"I have carefully investigated the area, and there is no sign of the surrounding volcanoes erupting for a long time."

"Unless there are special circumstances, it will not erupt at all."

Chen Yi nodded slightly upon hearing this, but he knew full well that volcanic eruptions were highly unpredictable. Even a small stimulus could trigger an eruption.

However, the volcanic eruption will definitely affect their search for the Fire Essence Jade.

The group waited behind the giant rock for two or three hours before the volcanoes in front of them stopped erupting.

Sun Huo took out a map to check. There were still many rocks and volcanic ash falling from the sky, and waves of heat were constantly rising from the cracks in the ground.

After waiting in place for more than half an hour, the group continued their journey under Sun Huo's leadership.

Chen Yi looked around. Due to the volcanic eruption, many demonic beasts and spirit insects had hidden themselves away.

The group activated their shields and marched forward into the volcanic ash.

After traveling several kilometers, they finally entered the inner perimeter of the Antarctic fire plain.

suddenly!

Chen Yi sensed that there seemed to be a battle between cultivators ahead, and Sun Huo also stopped at that moment.

Everyone present was a formation master, with a spiritual sense far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators, and they all noticed the anomaly ahead.

After exchanging glances, the group immediately concealed themselves and cautiously moved forward.

Before long, the sounds of fighting ahead became clearer.

Just as Chen Yi and the others slipped behind the rocks, a figure rushed toward them from afar.

"Everyone, hide!" Sun Huo immediately reminded them.

Chen Yi secretly activated his black cloak, instantly concealing his aura, while the others hid behind rocks.

Chen Yi looked ahead and saw a cultivator flying out on a flying magical artifact.

This person was wearing a tattered green robe, and had many wounds on his body. He even had great difficulty controlling a flying magical artifact.

Deng Liangyu looked surprised and immediately gripped Chen Yi's wrist tightly, saying:

"Brother Chen, it's Lin Ling'er!!"

Chen Yi looked surprised and said:

"Lin Ling'er? The daughter of the president of the Lingxi Fang Fengyu Chamber of Commerce branch!"

He immediately remembered that when he went to find the White Jade Fruit with Deng Liangyu, he was with Lin Ling'er and Zhang Yuting.

However, they were subsequently pursued by monsters, and the group scattered and fled.

Chen Yi later learned that Lin Ling'er had also escaped by chance, and he never heard from her again. He never expected to run into her here.

Lin Ling'er was in a terrible state, and even her flying magic weapon was wobbling.

Before she could fly any further, a plume of black smoke rose from afar and approached from behind her.

The next moment, an iron chain shot out from the black smoke and lashed hard at Lin Ling'er's back.

Lin Ling'er quickly turned around to defend herself. After the flying sword collided with the iron chain, the enormous force caused her to fall off the flying magic weapon.

Her body slid for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

Upon seeing this, Deng Liangyu looked anxious and immediately wanted to rush out to rescue Lin Ling'er.

Chen Yi grabbed him and told him not to act impulsively.

Sun Huo, Wu Yifeng, and the others also noticed Deng Liangyu's actions, but none of them made a move to rescue him.

"Brother Chen! If we don't act soon, Ling'er will..." Deng Liangyu said.

Chen Yi shook his head slightly and said:

"If the opponent wanted to kill, they could have killed Lin Ling'er with a single blow just now, but they seem to have held back."

Sun Huo frowned slightly upon seeing this and said:

Do you know this person?

Chen Yi nodded slightly and began to introduce Lin Ling'er's identity.

"I've heard of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce before. But the people chasing him seem to be evil cultivators?!" Wu Yifeng said in a deep voice.

At that moment, the plume of black smoke stopped in front of Lin Ling'er.

The wisps of black smoke gradually gathered around him, revealing the true appearance of the cultivator inside.

A middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance, petite figure, and dressed in a black robe strolled towards Lin Ling'er.

"Everyone, we're here to find the Fire Essence Jade, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble," Sun Huo said.

Deng Liangyu's expression changed slightly, but he said firmly:

"Lin Ling'er and I are good friends, and I will not stand idly by."

"I won't force you, but I will definitely save her."

Chen Yi looked at Deng Liangyu and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He knew Deng Liangyu's character well; once he had made a decision, he would not easily change it.

"Gentlemen, I have a request."

"I wonder if I can help save Lin Ling'er," Chen Yi said with some helplessness.

Sun Huo immediately disagreed, saying that taking action rashly would definitely expose them.

Wu Yifeng and Mu Yuanrong did not refuse, but their faces showed some hesitation.

After a moment, Wu Yifeng spoke first:

"As your senior brother, I intend to join forces with you."

"Moreover, the other party is an evil cultivator, so we cannot sit idly by."

Mu Yuanrong, standing to the side, offered to lend a hand.

Seeing that Wu Yifeng and Mu Yuanrong both supported Chen Yi, Sun Huo had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, Lin Ling'er was already fighting against the middle-aged woman.

Judging from their auras, Chen Yi knew they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After Chen Yi greeted everyone, they all concealed themselves and rushed towards the two.

Lin Ling'er controlled her flying sword, struggling to fend off the opponent's attacks.

However, due to his severe injuries, he was on the verge of collapse.

The middle-aged woman manipulated the iron chain to deflect the flying sword, and her figure rushed to Lin Ling'er's side like a ghost, knocking her away with a palm strike.

"Hmph, still putting up a stubborn resistance," the middle-aged woman said coldly.

Lin Ling'er coughed up blood, her face deathly pale.

"Who...who exactly are you people?"

"I am the daughter of the president of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce. If something happens to me, my father..."

Before Lin Ling'er could finish speaking, the middle-aged woman immediately interrupted:

"I know that your father is a Golden Core cultivator."

"So what? This time we'll turn you into a puppet, making you wish you were dead."

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman manipulated the iron chains, binding Lin Ling'er tightly.

Black smoke billowed from the iron chains, instantly invading Lin Ling'er's body.

Lin Ling'er looked desperate, and a hint of death appeared on her face.

Just then, she noticed several flying ants landing beside her.

The next moment, a swarm of fire ants flew up from the ground and headed straight for the middle-aged woman's face.

"What?!" The middle-aged woman looked shocked and immediately attacked the fire ant.

These fire ants lurk in the red soil, taking advantage of the Antarctic fire plains, and are virtually undetectable unless one is deliberately trying to sense them.

However, these fire ants could not shake the middle-aged woman, who used iron chains to disperse them.

However, several streaks of light instantly rushed toward her face.

Wu Yifeng and Mu Yuanrong attacked simultaneously, manipulating their flying swords to strike the opponent's face.

The middle-aged woman looked shocked; she hadn't expected someone to suddenly attack her.

Holding a silver fan, Deng Liangyu swung it fiercely at the middle-aged woman, unleashing several wind blades that instantly attacked her back.

Chen Yi appeared leisurely beside Lin Ling'er and pulled her back.
