"In exchange for the matter of feeding the fire crow flock with spirit stones, it's useless to be anxious, so you can only wait. Let's see if the reinforcements from the Flame Worship Gate or other Immortal Sects can reach the Earth Flame Mountain within a month or two!"

Ye Chen thought secretly.

Fortunately, he now has a flock of fire crows that can respond to emergencies, and his strength has increased several times compared to before. At least in the cavern of this Fire Raven Hill, his strength was stronger than that of any other monk, and he was enough to protect himself for the time being.

Ye Chen took a pill of Yuan Qi Pill, closed his eyes and meditated, cultivating Yuan Qi.

He was already in the middle of the first layer of foundation building in the Tianxu Immortal Gate, and he and Wang Ying, Xu Ping and other four fellow disciples and brothers had been on the way to the Ulan Empire for several months, and had cultivated to the peak of the first layer of the foundation building period, and encountered a small bottleneck.

He had been in the foundation building level realm for a short period of time.

Time passed.

In a flash, it's a month.

Ye Chen was trapped in this Earth Flame Mountain Cave, in addition to carefully guarding against the fire crow from entering the cave, he put most of his mind on cultivation, and the Yuan Shen finally broke through the small imprisonment of the first layer and reached the second layer of cultivation in the foundation building period.

This was also a small relief for Ye Chen, although he was trapped in a dangerous place, he did not delay his cultivation.

In the past month or so, the low-level cultivators who came to Earth Flame Mountain to hunt for treasures, cultivate, and do trading transactions, thinking of making a windfall overnight, gathered more and more.

Most of them were casual monks and monks from small families.

These scattered monks all came from the Ulan Empire, as well as dozens of surrounding secular countries, spiritual places where monks gathered, and even more distant places, like beasts that smelled fishy, and pounced excitedly.

In contrast, the response of the Nine Great Immortal Sects in Yunzhou was much slower and sluggish, and most of them probably didn't know that a new large-scale spiritual land had appeared in the territory of the Ulan Empire.

The scattered cultivators are not on the right path with the Immortal Sect, and when they discover the spiritual land, they will try their best to block the news to avoid letting the Great Immortal Sect know.

Whether it was the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect or the other Nine Great Immortal Sects, occupying the Earth Flame Mountain, the scattered cultivators would not get any benefit. The Heavenly Void Immortal Sect will directly occupy this Earth Flame Mountain, and it is impossible to give the slightest benefit to the scattered cultivators.

After many material-rich spiritual lands in Yunzhou were controlled by the Nine Great Immortal Sects, only the disciples of the sect were allowed to enter, and the scattered cultivators could not enter at all.

Only some spiritual lands that were not very important and lacked resources, after being occupied by a large number of scattered cultivators, the Nine Great Immortal Sects were inconvenient to move, or there were no rich profits to be gained, so they gave up control and let the scattered cultivators occupy them.

The Flame Worship Gate is not among the nine great immortal gates in Yunzhou, and its strength is relatively weak, coupled with various reasons, perhaps because of the fear of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, it has not completely controlled the Earth Flame Mountain. Therefore, now the low-level cultivators can still be active in this Earth Flame Mountain, looking for spiritual treasures.

In just one month, there were at least one or two thousand scattered cultivators in the Earth Flame Mountain.

Except for some who were too weak to stay on the first floor of Earth Flame Mountain, most of the others entered the second layer of Earth Flame Mountain to find heavenly materials and earth treasures.

A fire crow accident occurred in the second-floor cave of Earth Flame Mountain, and hundreds of monks were almost devastated, and this change had of course spread among the monks for a long time. There are still many monks trapped in the caves of the Raven Hills.

As long as there is a treasure of heaven and earth, even if it is very dangerous, it will attract a large number of monks to come to hunt for treasure. In fact, monks often consider themselves to be particularly lucky not to be as unlucky as other monks to be in danger.

Of course, they didn't dare to provoke the thousands of fire ravens in the Fire Raven Hills. Don't look at the number of treasure hunters, but they are extremely scattered, and no monk with enough prestige can gather these scattered cultivators, and naturally they are powerless to fight against the huge flock of fire crows.

The monks trapped in the cave of the Fire Raven Hill could only continue to be trapped by the Fire Raven swarm helplessly.

The other monks who were looking for spiritual objects on the second floor of the Earth Flame Mountain avoided the hill from being attacked by the angry fire crows

On this day, the cultivators who were originally active in various places in the Earth Flame Mountain were suddenly surprised to see a large group of hundreds of monks wearing fiery red clothes appear. Among this group of monks, there were no less than dozens of monks in the foundation building period alone, and most of the rest were in the late stage of Qi cultivation, but a group of hundreds of monks could not hear the slightest sound, and they were strictly disciplined.

They surrounded an old man in a red-faced robe with a cold face, entered the Earth Flame Mountain, and hurried towards the second floor of the cave.

"Look, it's a monk from the Fire Gate!"

"There are so many monks in the foundation building period, the strength of the fire worship gate is really strong! I often don't see a single foundation building monk in a year or two, they are a group of them. ”

"The man among them is the Jindan Ancestor?! Oh my God, Brother Jindan, this is the first time I've seen him. ”

"I heard that the young master of the Fire Gate was trapped in the Fire Raven Hill, I originally thought it was a rumor, but now it seems to be true!"

The cultivators exclaimed in a low voice and discussed.

But as soon as they touched the stern gaze of the fire-worshipping monks, they immediately shut their mouths and silenced them as if they were a cicada, lest they cause trouble.

There were some bold low-level monks who followed the Fire Worship Gate monks to the second floor of the cave from afar.

The red-faced old man with a cold face led a large group of hundreds of Fire Worshipping Monks into the second floor, and came to a place about ten miles away from the Fire Raven Hill before stopping.

The red-faced old man stood on a rocky high place, looking at the entire karst cave that was hundreds of miles in radius, for a full moment, without moving.

The large group of foundation building monks who followed him were puzzled, they hurriedly came to save the young sect master, why did they get here, but they didn't move. There is no need to observe at all. Their disciples in the Earth Flame Mountain had already reported all the situation in this place, and the number of this group of fire crows was roughly grasped.

"Master, the young master is trapped in the fire crow hill, should we immediately kill the fire crow and rescue the young master?"

Several foundation-building monks behind him showed doubts, and one of them arched his hand to the old man.

This old man is none other than Xu Shen, the master of the Fire Gate, that is, Xu Wei's father who is trapped in the cave of Fire Raven Mountain.

"There's no hurry. It's been more than a month, and it's not too late. What do you think of this mountain of flames?"

Xu Zhangmen said coldly.

The monks looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Of course, this place is good, otherwise the Flame Gate would not have tried to occupy this place. Of course, it's also a big trouble, and the fat of Earth Flame Mountain can't be swallowed if you want to.

The territory of Earth Flame Mountain nominally belongs to the Heavenly Void Gate.

The Heavenly Void Immortal Gate is not easy to mess with, and if it is replaced by the other eight great immortal gates, it does not dare to provoke the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate easily. Not to mention that their little immortal sect is not very famous, and it is very risky.

They don't have a good mouth.

"This Ulan Empire is a secular realm under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect. ”

Master Xu glanced at them and snorted, "Before, Master Ben also hesitated to snatch food from the mouth of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate. The old man originally thought that this was just a small spiritual land, so he only sent my son to investigate the situation and see how valuable this Earth Flame Mountain was. Now it seems that this Earth Flame Mountain is not more than one or two hundred miles in radius just the first and second floors, and there are countless minerals hidden, if you add other karst caves that have not yet been discovered, it is completely a large spiritual land, which can be used as one of the foundations of this gate. What do you think?"

"Master, if you want to occupy this place. It is best to kill all the scattered cultivators here, or imprison them, completely seal all the news on the second layer of the Flame Mountain Cave here, and declare to the outside world that this is just a tiny spiritual land, and there are not many resources. Before the Tianxu Immortal Gate takes action, bring Xingzhou County into the control of the secular kingdom under the jurisdiction of my Worship Fire Gate. When we occupy the territory, we will find a way to reconcile with Tianxumen. The Tianxu Immortal Sect has a great cause, and it may not take this small Earth Flame Mountain in its eyes and make a big move. ”

A foundation building monk thought for a moment and said with a fierce expression.

"Master, no, it's nothing to kill some loose cultivators, but the problem is that many of these treasure hunting monks are foundation building period monks, who knows if there are any true cultivators of the Nine Great Immortal Sects who have been trained in various parts of Yunzhou?

Another monk immediately objected.

"Isn't this a flock of fire ravens! There are only a few exits to this flaming mountain. We blocked all the exits of the Earth Flame Mountain, and killed all the treasure hunters in the Earth Flame Mountain, who knows which Immortal Sect monk died here?! Even if the Nine Great Immortal Sects knew that there were disciples who died in this Earth Flame Mountain, we would push everything to the fire crow group on the second floor of this cave. They came to the Earth Flame Mountain to hunt for treasure, but were killed by thousands of fire crows. We arrived too late, and by the time we arrived, all the treasure hunters had already perished in the fire of the fire crows. Dying at the hands of demon beasts is not an uncommon thing in the immortal cultivation world. ”

The foundation-building monk from before said coldly.

Master Xu's face was cloudy, and he didn't say yes, nor did he say no. After a long while, he said, "Ma Yu, you immediately lead a team of True Transmission disciples to block all the exits on the first floor of Earth Flame Mountain. No one is to be let out without the order of the head of the sect! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The foundation-building monk immediately led a team of foundation-building monks to the entrance of the first layer of Earth Flame Mountain, and exchanged guards with the Qi Refining Stage monks who were guarding the entrance.

"Peng Yi, you go and gather all the monks above the middle stage of Qi Refining in the second layer of Earth Flame Mountain to exterminate this group of fire crows!

There was no expression on Xu's face.

Let's let these scattered cultivators exert some strength, kill this flock of nearly 1,000 fire crows, and rescue his son. As for whether or not to kill all the treasure hunters in the Earth Flame Mountain, he could think about it slowly.

"Yes!"

A foundation building monk received the order, and led a team of foundation building monks to gather all the treasure hunting and scattered cultivation activities on the second floor of Earth Flame Mountain.

Whether these treasure hunters wanted it or not, they quickly gathered. The head of Jindan of the Worship Fire Gate is here, and the large group of foundation building monks of the Worship Fire Gate are here, so they can't help but disobey their orders.

There are more than 1,000 people just searching for treasures, and although they are messy, the number of people together is huge.

There are also hundreds of Qi Refining Period monks from the Fire Gate, and dozens of Foundation Building Period monks as the core, pressing the formation in the rear, urging all the treasure hunters to attack towards the Fire Crow Hill.

"Kill!"

Hordes of monks rushed towards the Raven Hill.

The nearly 1,000 fire ravens hovering around the Fire Raven Hill had already noticed the gathering of monks in the distance, and they all flew up at once, spitting dense fireballs from the sky towards the crowd of monks on the ground.
