"Let's go."

With the Falling World Lotus in hand, Cui Yan was in an excellent mood. Even his tone when addressing Song Wen carried a hint of warmth.

"Did you manage to find any Yin Spring Stones?"

"Junior is ashamed; I found none," Song Wen replied honestly.

"No matter. How are your injuries?"

Now in high spirits, Cui Yan even took the initiative to inquire about Song Wen's condition.

"My internal organs are damaged."

"That's serious! Once we exit the cave, you may return to the surface. There's no need for you to continue searching for Yin Spring Stones."

The moment Cui Yan said this, a flash of surprise crossed Song Wen's eyes.

Cui Yan was actually letting him go!

Song Wen suddenly realized that all his prior suspicions had been baseless.

Cui Yan and Chu Lingyun had never intended to kill him.

He had overthought everything, his cleverness backfiring.

"Could it be that Chu Lingyun hasn't had the chance to deal with Jing Kai yet? Perhaps he still doesn't know that it was I who saved Jing Kai that night?"

Song Wen speculated inwardly.

Unlike their cautious entry into the cave, the two made swift progress on their way out, unbothered by potential dangers.

While conversing, they reached the cave's entrance in no time.

Song Wen glanced at the shield of Nether Corpse Fire that enveloped him and felt an ominous premonition.

However, he refrained from extinguishing the flames immediately. The Nether Corpse Fire could resist the sinister forces within the lava, and extinguishing it abruptly might raise Cui Yan's suspicions.

"Senior Cui, I will head to the surface first," Song Wen said.

At this moment, all Song Wen wanted was to distance himself from the lava lake as quickly as possible.

The Nether Camel Turtle could appear at any moment.

"Go ahead," Cui Yan replied.

Receiving Cui Yan's permission, Song Wen no longer bothered to bid farewell to Chu Lingyun. He urgently activated his mana and began ascending.

Suddenly—

The lava below started to churn violently, and the Nether Camel Turtle emerged, its massive form visible dozens of meters below.

As it approached, the turtle opened its enormous maw and inhaled sharply in the trio's direction.

A powerful suction force erupted, causing the lava to surge like a torrent into the turtle's mouth.

Of the three, Cui Yan was the first to detect the Nether Camel Turtle's presence with his sharp spiritual senses.

Without waiting for the suction force to reach him, he shot upward, accelerating straight toward the surface.

Chu Lingyun produced a green talisman, the same one he had used earlier to escape from Song Wen.

When the talisman shattered, a gust of azure wind enveloped him, propelling him upward with tremendous speed. He forcefully broke free from the suction force and fled toward the surface.

As for Song Wen—

He made no attempt to escape. Allowing the lava to carry him, he drifted toward the turtle's gaping maw.

First, he extinguished the Nether Corpse Fire that shielded him.

Then, his left hand ignited a massive green flame the size of a water jar, while his palm shimmered with dazzling lightning.

The green flame pierced through the lava and streaked toward Cui Yan's back.

At the very instant Song Wen was about to fall into the turtle's mouth, his body suddenly self-detonated.

The lightning that accompanied the explosion of his flesh was sucked into the Nether Camel Turtle's mouth.

The Nether Camel Turtle, which thrived on consuming nether fire to absorb its sinister energy and grow stronger, abhorred the blazing divine power of lightning.

The lightning erupted within its vulnerable mouth, instantly piercing the delicate flesh of its oral cavity.

Black blood mixed with shredded flesh sprayed outward, filling the turtle's maw.

Overwhelmed by the pain, fury ignited in the previously calm eyes of the Nether Camel Turtle, like two blazing infernos.

"Roar!"

The turtle let out an enraged howl.

The lava quaked in response!

The Nether Camel Turtle suddenly erupted with eerie blue flames, which blazed brightly and pushed aside the surrounding lava.

At that moment, the Nether Camel Turtle seemed to have transformed into a moving volcano.

It glared angrily at Cui Yan's back.

With a low level of intelligence, the turtle could only understand that the one who had hurt it had already been reduced to ashes. It could only vent its fury on other living creatures, and Cui Yan was the most powerful being in the vicinity, other than itself.

The Nether Camel Turtle moved its four limbs simultaneously, its massive body shooting forward toward Cui Yan.

At the same time, it opened its mouth and expelled the magma it had just swallowed, spewing it directly toward Cui Yan's direction.

...

The "Breaking Dark Technique" and "Substitute Puppet Technique" were both cast at the same time, and Song Wen's figure reappeared, now floating ten meters above the lava lake.

Instead of immediately fleeing, he coldly observed the scene below.

The lava churned, and ghostly energy surged.

Clearly, Cui Yan was locked in an intense battle with the Nether Camel Turtle.

Song Wen parted his lips slightly, and the Blood Sea Seal flew out.

Blood mist rose, and a vast sea of blood formed above Song Wen's head.

Chu Lingyun's figure broke through the lava and emerged.

Suddenly, a giant blood-colored hand descended from the sky, carrying an oppressive force as it slammed toward Chu Lingyun.

Chu Lingyun looked up at the massive hand that seemed to block out the sky, his eyes flashing with panic.

He hurriedly summoned a shield and raised it in front of himself, trying to block the blood-colored palm.

However, Chu Lingyun soon realized in despair that the power contained within the blood palm was beyond anything he could resist.

"Boom!"

The blood palm landed.

Chu Lingyun, along with his shield, was slapped back into the lava.

The blood palm transformed into a blood-colored chain, which burrowed into the lava. Its sharp end stabbed directly into Chu Lingyun's abdomen.

The chain continued to extend, weaving back and forth through Chu Lingyun's body.

Chu Lingyun's body instantly became riddled with holes, on the verge of death.

The blood-colored chain, like a snake, retracted, dragging Chu Lingyun out of the lava and bringing him in front of Song Wen.

Barely alive, Chu Lingyun struggled to raise his head, looking at Song Wen with fury and confusion in his eyes.

"Ji Yin, it's you! What do you want to do?"

"Remove the root, eliminate the threat," Song Wen replied indifferently.

"We have no grievances, no hatred. How could I be a threat?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Song Wen's mouth, but he did not answer Chu Lingyun's question.

The blood-colored chain withdrew into the Blood Sea, pulling Chu Lingyun with it.

Just as Chu Lingyun was dealt with, Cui Yan's figure shot out of the lava.

Having fought the Nether Camel Turtle in the lava, Cui Yan was clearly at a disadvantage. He had paid a heavy price to escape the turtle's grip.

His clothes were in tatters, his breath chaotic, and he looked disheveled. frёewebnoѵēl.com

The moment Cui Yan surfaced, a giant blood-colored hand slammed down.

Faced with the descending blood palm, Cui Yan's eyes burned with intense fury.

"Ji Yin, you are seeking death!" Cui Yan roared.

In his hand, the Ghost Banner waved, releasing a surge of ghostly energy like an enraged dragon, charging toward the blood palm.

The ghostly energy collided with the blood palm.

The blood palm shattered, and blood mist surged, along with terrifying gusts of wind that swept through the area.

The ghostly energy continued to rise into the sky, heading straight toward Song Wen.

Before the ghostly energy could close in, the Blood Sea surged, swallowing Song Wen's figure.

The ghostly energy landed in the Blood Sea.

The blood waves surged.

The entire Blood Sea trembled violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.
