Chapter 1510: Chapter 1509: Ambush, Undying Fire Domain

“Don’t misunderstand, folks; discovering this ancient land isn’t solely our doing.

There are also people from the Undying Fire Domain,” Lun Wen hurriedly explained.

“The most important thing is that the entrance to the ancient land is beneath a Fire Poison Beast’s lair.

We’re currently at a loss for how to enter it.

If we alarm the Fire Poison Beasts, it might not be worth the trouble.”

“An ancient land, let’s go have a look,” Xu Zimei said.

As for the Undying Fire Domain.

He remembered there was once a conflict with them, almost killing that guy named Su Fangyuan.

Xu Zimei found it interesting and wanted to meet them, curious about their reaction.

“We can lead the way,” Yun Wen said with a smile.

Xu Zimei nodded and did not refuse.

On their journey, Xiao Anshan looked at Shangguan Xian and laughed, “How goes the Great Saint’s feeling?”

“Adjusting to the power within,” Shangguan Xian said.

“The Principle is indeed varied and marvelous, and the Life and Death Soul is even more peculiar. There is much to explore about the Great Saint’s realm.”

“It seems this trip to the Origin Land wasn’t in vain,” Xiao Anshan replied.

“You won’t be long now, will you?” asked Shangguan Xian.

“I’m working hard, working hard. I can’t let you surpass me,” Xiao Anshan replied.

After all, for this Chaos Fire Realm, his ranking was second, while Shangguan Xian’s was only third.

Under Yun Wen and the other two’s guidance, Xu Zimei and the others quickly reached the ancient land’s location.

It was on the cliff of a canyon.

The canyon was unfathomable, with mountain walls on both sides like cliffs reaching thousands of feet high.

Moreover, the canyon was lush and verdant, shrouded in mist.

The view was a blanket of whiteness.

Occasionally, Monster Beasts would spread their wings and fly past the cliffs, quickly disappearing into the mist.

The group arrived at a protruding cliff.

The Fire Mistress pointed at the opposite cliff and said, “See that area; the ancient land is there.”

“I can’t see anything,” Sect Master Bai said after looking for a while.

“The mist is too thick. Not to mention the ancient land, I can’t even see the Fire Poison Beast’s lair.”

“Of course, you can’t see it that way. Initially, we didn’t notice it either.

It was only because of an anomaly from this ancient land that it caught our attention,” the Fire Mistress laughed.

“Then let’s step into the void and go over to take a look,” Xu Zimei suggested.

The group stepped into the void, treading on the endless white mist, heading directly towards the opposite cliff.

As they were approaching, Xu Zimei reminded everyone to slow down.

Not to alarm the Fire Poison Beasts inside.

He wasn’t afraid of the Fire Poison Beasts, just the unnecessary hassle.

“There it is,” Shangguan Xian was the first to speak.

Everyone looked up and saw a red opening deep inside the lush, dense forest-covered mountainside.

It initially appeared to be swallowing inward, with a power-absorbing force.

The entrance was like a swamp, attached to the wall, constantly writhing.

“This is the entrance to the Fire Poison Beast’s lair,” Xu Zimei said.

“That’s right, look below,” the Fire Mistress pointed down.

At first glance, there was nothing noticeable.

But upon closer examination, they found a mural beneath.

Engraved with images of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

It was a Four Symbols painting.

The painting was vivid and realistic, carved into the inner wall.

“What kind of ancient land is this,” Xiao Anshan pondered over the Four Symbols mural.

“Not sure, perhaps we can only know by entering inside,” the Fire Mistress shook her head in response.

As they were observing, Xu Zimei suddenly warned, “Be careful.”

They saw three rays of extreme light speeding from afar.

The rapid speed made it too late to block them, only to find the extreme light wasn’t aimed at them.

But at the Fire Poison Beast’s lair.

A “boom” sound of explosion echoed, and the entire Fire Poison Beast’s lair exploded.

Nearby mountain walls slid down, and trees burst apart.

The entire canyon trembled fiercely.

This heaven-shaking explosion naturally caught the attention of the Fire Poison Beasts, with one fire-red arm after another extending from the swamp-like entrance.

“Damn it, they’re trying to use us as a scapegoat.”

Yun Wu said angrily.

Xu Zimei turned to look at the direction from which the extreme light came.

On one side of the distant canyon, three figures stood in the void, staring at them.

Among them was an old acquaintance of Xu Zimei’s.

Su Fangyuan from the Undying Fire Domain.

Long ago, Xu Zimei beat him nearly dead; if not for the intervention of the Undying Hall Master, he might have died then.

The other two were likely other contestants from the Undying Fire Domain, unfamiliar to Xu Zimei.

This was their revenge, Xu Zimei instantly understood.

As the three from the Undying Fire Domain alarmed the Fire Poison Beasts, they left immediately.

And now, with more and more Fire Poison Beasts emerging, they were gathering.

And each Fire Poison Beast was powerful, with two or three barely emitting the aura of a Great Saint.

The most crucial part was that the number of Fire Poison Beasts from this lair was vast and still rising.

“We can’t linger in battle,” Xu Zimei and the others immediately decided.

If it were just a few Fire Poison Beasts, killing them wouldn’t matter.

But this was clearly a large lair, with hundreds of Fire Poison Beasts; after the effort of killing them, someone might come and reap the benefits.

“Retreat,” Xu Zimei said.

As soon as he spoke, a Great Saint-level Fire Poison Beast launched its attack.

Its massive body surged.

A “boom” sounded like a cannonball exploding on the ground.

Its claws descended on Xu Zimei’s head.

The Tyrant Shadow behind Xu Zimei unsheathed itself, blocking above his head.

Even so, when the immense power struck, Xu Zimei bent slightly under the pressure.

He let out a cold snort.

His body straightened bit by bit, the Tyrant Shadow withdrawing from the Fire Poison Beast’s claws.

One slash broke through thousands of mountains.

The “rumbling” blade intent swept across the horizon, directly severing the Fire Poison Beast’s giant claws.

The Fire Poison Beast roared in fury.

“You go first; I’ll cover the rear,” Shangguan Xian volunteered.

“Are you sure you can handle it?” Xiao Anshan asked.

“Having just advanced to Great Saint, I want to test my strength,” Shangguan Xian smiled.

“Rest assured.”

Xu Zimei was also confident in Shangguan Xian, except when dealing with the Shangguan Family, where she often remained calm.

Able to undertake what she was sure of accomplishing.

Yet, when facing the Shangguan Family, she seemed to lose her mind, her intelligence wiped.

It was unclear what great enmity she held with the Shangguan Family.

Xu Zimei and the others took to the sky, moving to the opposite canyon.

As for Shangguan Xian behind them, she went all out, the Immortal Spirit Fire burning into a wall.

The wall of fire consumed everything, enveloping the Fire Poison Beasts.

“Down,” she stepped into the void, kicking a Fire Poison Beast away.
