When Ling Yi entered the city, the atmosphere inside was very bleak, and there was no lively appearance of the Nondan Conference held when he left a few days ago.

At the gate of the city, passers-by came in and out, with a bit of solemnity on their faces.

"Excuse me." Ling Yi stopped a person who was walking by in a hurry, "I just came back from hunting, can you tell me what happened recently?" ”

The man's expression was hurried, and he was a little impatient when he was stopped by Ling Yi, and said, "Don't you know that the beast tide was so big a few days ago? The six-hundred-year-old volcano erupted early. ”

As they spoke, a few more men went out through the gates, hurrying or riding beasts, as if fearing that the scourge of the volcano would spread.

Ling Yi's gaze was fixed on the sky in the distance of the city—thick fiery red clouds.

The location of the red cloud is actually quite a mile away from the Hidden Earth City, and only a bright red in the sky can be seen from afar, but you can feel the ominousness contained in it from afar.

Ling Yi walked to a different guest house, and the number of injured people walking on the road gradually increased, or they supported each other, and some were simply carried back.

They came through another city gate, which was also the direction to the examination venue.

Ling Yi's heart sank, and he forcibly suppressed the bad premonition in his heart, and walked along the crowd in the direction of the guest house.

There are a lot of people lying in the lobby, not only on the ground, but also on the soft couch used for dining on weekdays.

Staccato wails came from some of the mouths, and the softer sounds of conversation were drowned out by them.

Ling Yi frowned, seeing that some of these people's cultivation was not low, but their bodies were burned, and even half of their arms were amputated, and there was a trace of burning fire at the interface of the severed limb.

It seems that the volcanic eruption that the man on the road just now talked about had more severe consequences than he had imagined.

The stone in Ling Yi's heart was a little heavier.

The time when he and Jing Chen were separated was at the beginning of the first assessment, and he had been training on the plains for the time until today, so he naturally didn't know about the volcanic eruption.

However, he was a little sensed when the beast tide broke out, but he didn't connect the two at that time.

Along the way, the conclusion from the news heard from the others seems to be that a beast tide erupted during the second assessment, and then it was discovered that the volcano was about to erupt.

Subsequently, the specific time of the volcanic eruption was determined, and the third assessment was made.

It's just that no one expected that the volcano would erupt early.

Ling Yi glanced around the lobby and found that there were many alchemists from all continents who had been selected to participate in the assessment, and he already had a judgment in his heart.

In the third assessment, something probably happened.

"If you care, it's messy, and don't worry too much. Jing Chen is so clever, and he is definitely the first to run away when he is in danger. "In view of the fact that some of the injuries among the people lying on the ground were too severe, the old man said dryly, and for a moment he could not find a better word of comfort.

If it weren't for the fact that Huoxin Mountain was too far away from the Hidden Earth City, and the volcanic eruption caused chaos in the aura of heaven and earth, he might still be able to sense the jade pendant on Jing Chen's body.

But right now, it's really powerless.

"Yes." It was rare for Ling Yi not to refute Jian Lao.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and another wounded person was sent in, followed by a group of people who had returned from the teleportation array.

Ling Yi turned his head, wanting to see if there was anyone he knew among the people who came back, and the next moment he felt an alarm, the long sword appeared in his hand, and he waved a sword flower with his backhand.

With a "ding", the two swords collided, neither side used their charms, and the pure power collision shook the arms of the two people at the same time.

"Okay, it's really strong!" The person who came shouted in a low voice, and as soon as the blade of the sword turned, the momentum was about to slash again.

"Zhu Qiu, don't make trouble!" A cold voice stopped the person.

The long sword attacked, and the two of them stopped at the same time.

Ling Yi took a step back and looked at the comer.

The man who drew the sword was dressed in black, the long sword had been withdrawn from the scabbard and was on his shoulder, with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, looking cynical.

The person who arrived later was dressed in a dark robe, with handsome eyebrows and a gentle temperament like jade, and he was a beautiful son.

"Something?" Ling Yi said coldly.

"Xun Xuanzhi in Xia Ximing Academy." The man in the dark robe arched his hand towards Ling Yi, then looked at the man in black, and introduced, "This is Zhu Qiu." ”

"Some time ago, we watched your battle against Fenghe Academy in the ring, and just now my partner saw you with itchy skills for a while, and I want to learn from each other, but I'm really sorry." After speaking, Xun Xuanzhi glared at Zhu Qiu fiercely.

"You're not bad at swordsmanship." Zhu Qiu didn't feel embarrassed at all to rashly make a move on others, and frowned at Ling Yi and said, "Have time for us to compare?" ”

"Ling Yi." Out of politeness, Ling Yi reported to his home, then glanced at the two of them lightly, ignored them, put away his sword and turned to go upstairs.

A new batch of wounded people entered the guest house, and the lobby of the restaurant was crowded again, and no one lived in this corner of the lobby.

"It's a personality, and it's really good for me." The two stood in the pile of wounded, and Zhu Qiu watched Ling Yi disappear at the corner of the stairs, and they all sighed.

Immediately, he touched his chin, looked at Xun Xuanzhi, and lowered his face, "I look so unpopular?" ”

It's really sad to only report your name and not invite someone to have a glass of wine and talk about life.

Xun Xuanzhi shrugged, "Maybe people just saw through your intention to rub him a meal." ”

"......" Zhu Qiu patted his stomach, as if it was time to find something to earn money to support his family.

The guest house is on the fifth floor.

Ling Yi pushed open the door and looked at the empty room, his fists clenched, Huo Ran turned around and walked towards the other people's rooms.

Nobody, still nobody.

Knocking on the door all the way, whether it was Luo Xi, the Kraken clan, or Xia Xiongfei or the others from the Danfu Alliance, no one answered in the room.

None of them have come back yet.

Ling Yi's brows tightened, his already cold face sank, and no one dared to approach him within three meters, trembling and shrinking.

"Haha, these idiots of the Danfu Alliance, what kind of place is it in Huoxin Mountain now, even the magma that the nine-star powerhouses don't dare to resist, they are also brave enough, they are actually looking for someone there, don't pay yourself in at that time." A gloating voice came from the top of the stairs.

A group of people came up from the second floor and met Ling Yi at the third staircase.

"I don't know who I'm looking for, but looking at them, it seems to be quite important." One wondered.

"Who knows, the volcano erupted so suddenly, and it is normal for a few people to die, obediently, once in 600 years, we are also lucky."

Before this person's words fell, someone said, "It's really lucky, all the candidates who survived this time have obtained the qualifications to enter the Mida Domain to participate in the selection competition......

This group of noisy people is none other than the group of people from Fenghe Academy who had had conflicts before, and the leader is still that Zhang Haowen.

Walking around the corner, the two groups met.

The moment the people from Fenghe Academy saw Ling Yi, they felt tense all over, even if the other party was only one person at this time.

"Learn, senior." One person leaned over to Zhang Haowen, who was in the lead, and whispered in his ear, "It's that person." ”

"I know." Zhang Haowen's face turned blue and gritted his teeth.

There was only one passage, Ling Yi was in front, and his junior brothers were watching from behind, so it was impossible for him to make way for the other party.

But if you don't give way...... Zhang Haowen knew from Ling Yi's face that this person was in a very bad mood now, and he didn't want to touch this mold no matter what.

"Get out of the way." Ling Yi said with an expression on his face.

Zhang Haowen's legs shook, and he unconsciously moved to the side.

"I remember! Isn't he the unlucky guy who was swallowed by the fire dragon! The man slapped his head and said.

If Yue Feng was here, he would recognize this man, who happened to be one of the two people he saved before Jing Chen was devoured.

Ling Yi raised his head in an instant, looked straight over, his eyes narrowed, "What did you say?" ”

"I'm ......" The man was chilled by Ling Yi's eyes, and he poured beans and told all the things in the morning.

“…… Big, that's probably it. After the man finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yi cautiously, and then looked at Zhang Haowen as if asking for help.

The staircase was eerily quiet, and no one suspected that a storm was brewing in the gloomy man in front of him, and he urgently needed an outlet.

When Ling Yi walked downstairs, the people who were huddled at the staircase on the third floor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Scared to death, I thought he was going to kill someone."

"Yes, when did such a terrifying person come out of the Menwu Academy, he was actually only a first-year student."

It's no wonder they said that, it's really Ling Yi's appearance just now is too terrifying.

His gaze swept over, and it was completely a look at dead things, as if there was nothing worthy of his nostalgia in this world.

This kind of person who has the strength and does not hesitate to die is the most terrifying.

"Calm down." Jian Lao understood Jing Chen's position in Ling Yi's heart, so he knew even more about what state the other party was in now.

"I'm calm." Ling Yi walked through the long street and walked out of the west gate of the Secluded Earth City.

The gate serves as the entrance and exit of a city, and there are many people around it who load and unload goods or sell Talisman Beasts.

Ling Yi didn't talk nonsense, and directly put the sword on the neck of a middle-aged man.

"You, you, whatever you want." The middle-aged man shook his hand and handed the reins to Ling Yi.

Ling Yi threw out a piece of gold, stepped on the head of the talisman beast and did not go back to the west.

Jian Lao, who witnessed the entire "robbery" process, "......" Are you sure you have calmed down?

There were a lot of people gathered at the teleportation array at the foot of Huoxin Mountain, and the venue of the third assessment could accommodate tens of thousands of people, and now nearly half of them have gathered here and have not dispersed.

Among them, some are partners who are worried about not yet appearing, and there are also casual cultivators who want to take advantage of this opportunity to catch the line of the big forces.

Naturally, it is believed that the exotic treasure was born to guide the eruption of the volcano in advance, so they gather here to take a wait-and-see attitude, and it is convenient to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to catch a handful when necessary.

Next to the teleportation array were two teachers from the Spirit Rune Academy, and all those who wanted to enter the teleportation array were stopped by them.

The situation inside has not yet been clarified, and in order to reduce casualties and control the situation, holding the teleportation array is the most efficient way.

As for whether the others would sneak around the teleportation array and walk to the mountainside, that was not for them to consider.

The magma has already begun to spread downward, and after a while they will also evacuate, and those who have been bewitched by the so-called strange treasure will rush to their deaths and no one will stop them.

Ling Yi didn't find anyone from the Danfu Alliance among the people in the clearing, and thinking of the words of those people from the Wind Hop Academy, he walked towards the teleportation array.

"The teleportation array now only accepts one-way teleportation." One person stopped Ling Yi.

"I'm going over." Ling Yi looked at the man and said firmly.

"I'm sorry, but it's my duty." The caretaker frowned.

Anyone who wants to enter the teleportation array will say their reasons first, Ling Yi is still the first time he has seen this, and he is really arrogant.

Ling Yi raised his head, "Then it's offended." ”

Before the guards could react, a white light flashed in front of them, and their battle instincts made them draw their weapons for the first time.

The power transmitted from the long sword was extremely great, and the caretaker of the blue robe cultivated to the Nine Stars and Two Lines, and he didn't pay attention to Ling Yi's move, but the next moment, his body was shocked, and his eyes were full of disbelief and looked at the blood spit out of his palm.

When the other guard, who was also in blue robes, realized that something had changed, it was too late, and Ling Yi's figure did not pause, and he disappeared into the white light activated in the teleportation.

What was left behind was the jaws of thousands of onlookers dropping to the ground.
