C2438 Please Save Me Fellow Daoist
Dong … Dong … Dong …
Violent sounds continuously rang out along the mountain. Under the deafening explosion, it made people feel as if there was a giant palm slapping down on the mountain unnoticed.
Not only that, along the mountain, countless dazzling lights were being released. The flames were sparkling and translucent, releasing boundless heat. It was as if the night had turned into day, and as the tongues of flame moved, the image of a Vermillion Bird appeared.
Raging flames filled the air and occupied the entire cauldron mountain. Huge tongues of flame flew everywhere, bringing with it a monstrous momentum as they struck horizontally towards the ground. The place where the fire swept past became a prairie fire, and the disciples who were still moving spiritual medicines in the cauldron mountain instantly became black ash.
Not only that, even though they were currently in a different position, they were still some distance away from the mountain. However, they all had the misconception that the tongue of fire that blotted the skies had closed in on them. The terrifying heat seemed to directly rush into their hearts and souls, making their surroundings fall into a state of chaos.
The tearing of the fire eye was actually so fast. He had thought that there would still be some time before the next explosion of the fire eye, yet there was actually so much time ahead of schedule. Even Lin Bai was dumbstruck when he saw this scene. He knew that he had still underestimated the Medicine King Valley's Nine Dragons Protecting Cauldron.
All the Medicine Valley disciples were shocked speechless. Even Du Ruo and Xin Yi, the two people who were afraid that the situation couldn't get any more chaotic, looked at Lin Bai with eyes full of respect.
At this moment, they no longer doubted the words that Lin Bai said earlier. There were even many Medicine King Valley disciples who considered Lin Bai to be their only savior and believed that he was the key to resolving all of their problems.
After an unknown period of time, the earthfire that was roaring in the mountains finally stopped, and the heaven and earth became tranquil. However, Zhu Tan acted as if he didn't notice the change in the outside world at all. His eyes were tightly fixed on the Dingshan, while his expression kept changing.
Although the fire had stopped, it seemed to him that everything had not stopped. It was as if the raging flames had already reached him. He could hear his own heavy breathing and the intense trembling of the ground under his feet when the fire stopped.
Pill King Valley's thousand years of foundation, was it really going to be destroyed, burned to ashes? To raise one's family with earth fire, and then be annihilated by earth fire, could this be the fate of Pill King Valley? If that was the case, how could I meet with the ancestors of Jiuquan?
In this moment, even though it was only a split-second, a myriad of thoughts and emotions were growing in Zang Tan's heart. Since he was born, he had never been as flustered and desperate as he was now.
In reality, it wasn't just He Tan. Even Du Ruoran and Xin Yi, the two Spirit Spring Sect disciples who were all bent on sticking to Jiang Haoran, felt an unprecedented sense of panic and despair. They had lived and lived and had always viewed this place as their land of joy. However, they had never thought that this land of happiness would become the Purgatory that reaped their lives.
"Great Elder, let's move the sect. We can't stay here any longer! "If the earth fire breaks out again, we won't be able to escape even if we want to …" Suddenly, a low murmur sounded from the crowd, the sound was filled with panic and helplessness.
With this sentence, a myriad of people responded immediately. Everyone's gazes were on Chu Tan. Although the disciples of the Medicine Valley thought highly of themselves in the past, it did not mean that they were people who did not care about their own lives. In this current situation, they already felt that there was no other possibility of survival other than escaping from the Purgatory Flame Nest.
If he continued to delay things, he would just turn into ashes in the flames, just like his fellow sect members.
"You can't leave, you absolutely can't leave! My Medicine God Valley's thousand years of foundation cannot be destroyed by us people, and let me ask you one thing, even if we want to leave, do you think we can escape death? " After a long moment of silence, Zeng Tan slowly spoke up. His voice was filled with an ancient tone, and he seemed to have aged several years. There were even tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
As soon as his words fell, the entire hall fell into silence. There were even constant sounds of weeping. They knew that what Zang Tan said was true. If they left just like that, there would be no other choice but death.
It was true that the sects and the common people of the hidden world used to fear the Medicine God Valley, but this kind of respect was built on the foundation that the Medicine King Valley could provide them with an endless supply of pills. But now that the earth fire had leaked out, there was no way to refine pills anymore. Without the pills, what qualifications did the Medicine King Valley have to stay in seclusion?
Furthermore, right now, the hidden world was in chaos. All sorts of small fries were waiting for the right opportunity to make their move, and if Pill King Valley walked out, then the thousand years of accumulated wealth that the Medicine God Valley had brought along would not be much different from a fat sheep in the eyes of those people.
The reclusive world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. The people all lost their reverence towards the Medicine King Valley, and only had greed and wild hope left. It would be hard for the Medicine King Valley to not suffer a miserable end. Furthermore, with the hasty relocation, they would have to abandon many things. At that time, if there was an invasion, Pill King Valley's ending would definitely not be any better than the current Little Fang Mountain.
Even if they went out they would die, and standing guard in Pill King Valley, even with the Earth Fire Body, there wasn't much of a difference.
"Pill King Valley is a place for us to settle down. We have to protect it with all our might, even if there is still a trace of hope, we cannot give up! The ancestors have spirit in the heavens, so they will definitely protect us and help us get out of this calamity! " Staring at the demoralized crowd, a look of helplessness could be seen in Elder Zhu's eyes as he consoled the crowd in a warm voice.
However, even though his words were bold and bold, he didn't have any confidence in being able to do so himself. Before he found a way to deal with the Earth Fire's leakage, no matter how bold words he said, it would be of no use. He couldn't even keep his life anymore, what was the point in shouting so much? Would the earthfire really die because of the shouting?
His gaze slowly swept across the faces in front of him, which had become numb and desperate due to the clamor of the earthfire. His heart was filled with bitterness and only felt that his lips were filled with a bloody and bitter taste that even caused his heart to contract.
After being silent for a long time, he suddenly clenched his fists, as if he had finally made a decision. He turned around and walked towards Lin Bai with a solemn expression on his face.
He couldn't have awakened the person in his dreams and made him feel like he had disturbed his beautiful dream, so he wanted to make a painful death so that he could continue his beautiful dream.
Seeing how he was growing sandalwood, although Lin Bai tried his best to remain calm, his mana circulated around his body, preparing to take precautions.
Dong! However, no one in the crowd could have imagined that when Zang Tan was only a step away from Lin Bai, he would suddenly drop to his knees without any warning. Without a single word, he simply kowtowed and kowtowed, causing the sharp rocks on the ground to smash his forehead into a bloody mess, as though he did not notice it at all.
"Elder Zhu Tan, what are you doing? Wake up quickly!" Seeing this action, Lin Bai was first stunned. He quickly sidestepped the attack and extended a hand to help him up.
What kind of joke was this? For a man of such a young age, he wouldn't even be able to match six Lin Bai in a single piece. If such an elder were to kneel in front of him, then wouldn't he lose his life if he were to accept this sort of respect?
Then, he slowly raised his head, the blood on his forehead mixed with the muddy old tears at the corner of his eyes, which drenched his face completely, and said to Lin Bai in a deep voice: "Fellow cultivator, please save my Pill King Valley, as long as you are willing to help, my Pill King Valley is willing to pay any price!"
Oh my god, Master is right, Pill King Valley has really asked for Master's help! Looking at this scene, Leng Zhan felt as though he was in a dream. Not long ago, the people from the Medicine Sovereign Valley had arrogant looks on their faces, as if talking to them would be a huge gift.
However, the head of the Medicine Valley, the most senior elder, knelt in front of Lin Bai and kowtowed until his head was bleeding profusely. Tears flowed unknowingly as he pleaded for Lin Bai to save them.
Such a drastic change was truly hard for Leng Zhan to predict. Furthermore, the gaze with which she gazed at Lin Bai's back was filled with reverence.
Seeing this, Jiang Haoran shook his head and sighed. He knew that from the moment the earth fire broke out again, the Medicine Valley's plan to ally with the Spirit Spring Sect had completely failed. At the very least, as long as Liu Tan was in charge of Medicine Valley for one day and Lin Bai was able to help Medicine King Valley resolve this calamity, their Spirit Spring Sect would not have any more delusions.
I can't be like this, I absolutely can't be like this. I, the wise man of my generation, can't fall at the hands of this kid! With only an instant of disappointment in his heart, Jiang Haoran clenched his fists tightly. He stared at Lin Bai with an incomparably cold gaze, and thought of a plan to deal with him.
"Grand Elder …" In this situation, many of the Medicine King Valley's disciples started to silently cry. In the past, their most respected Great Elder, for the sake of protecting the sect's safety, had actually knelt in front of a young man who was his grandson. What kind of sacrifice was this?
"All of you, kneel down as well!" When Zeng Tan heard this, he slowly turned his head and scolded the Medicine Valley's disciples. After everyone kneeled down, he turned to Lin Bai and said sorrowfully: "My Medicine King Valley's thousand years of foundation lies in your life and death, Fellow Daoist!"
