Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 933 - Flee In Panic

Chapter 933: Flee In Panic

The thick magma soared into the sky and after reaching the highest point, it suddenly exploded, splashing out in all directions like rain.
When the magma had just surged up, though everyone was surprised, they only stayed on the peak to watch the show.
Nonetheless, no one expected that the magma’s surge was unreasonable, far more violent and dangerous than they had imagined. It was just a short delay, but the burst of magma was already poured down on them.
“Oh no, run quickly!”
No one knew who shouted, but the people on the peak turned around at the same time and sprinted toward the distance at their fastest speed.
Those who could come here were at least Spiritualists.
If the scale of the magma was not large, given their strengths, they would not be too nervous. Even so, the intensity of the magma at this moment had far exceeded the limits of what humans could withstand.
Judging from the scale, it could even be described as a natural disaster.
Due to the intensity of the magma, not to mention Spiritualists, even if Venerable Ones were here, they would not dare to strike their chests and still be able to stand on the spot to enjoy such a beautiful scene.
Therefore, as long as one was in the right mind, one would immediately choose to leave this place at the fastest speed possible.
For a moment, at the mouth of the volcano, countless voices seemed to fly far away. Behind them, the magma that fell from the sky gradually formed a torrent that chased after their buttocks and kept moving forward.
The strengths of the Spiritualists were clearly displayed at this moment, especially the disciples that had the backing of large sects. They often had special treasures on their bodies, activated some kind of skill, or used some kind of talisman… Their speed suddenly increased, and before the magma was about to gather into a river, they forcibly escaped from this place.
In comparison, the independent Spiritualists’ methods of coping with the situation seemed somewhat pathetic.
Even though they also used various methods to increase their speed, their speed could not be maintained for long. After sprinting for a while, a few of them actually slowed down and in the end, they were submerged by the magma rain.
A small area of magma dripping down was nothing to them. The means they had were enough to protect themselves and let them flee.
Nevertheless, when the amount of magma accumulated to a certain extent, the situation would change from time to time.
Under the eruption of the magma that was close to a natural disaster, if one accidentally fell into the magma, there would only be one outcome.
“Huff, huff, huff…” Ling Yue panted heavily. After using all his strength and running for so long, he could finally stop.
There was still a burning aura coming from behind him, and he was sure that it was just the aftermath of the volcanic eruption. If it was an ordinary person, this kind of heatwave could kill but to a Spiritualist, it would at most be a little uncomfortable.
His palm was tightly clenched. Even when he was escaping, he did not forget about Guan Yue. In the process of fleeing for his life, their hands were firmly held together.
The 2 of them stared at each other. The emotions in their eyes were so deep that they could not be separated.
After this life and death escape, the relationship between them seemed to have taken a step closer.
However, in the next moment, Ling Yue’s expression suddenly changed. He turned around and exclaimed, “Where’s Brother Yu?”
It was as though Guan Yue had just woken up from a dream. Her heart was completely focused on Ling Yue. When she was escaping, she did not have the time to pay attention to anyone else. At this moment, after receiving Ling Yue’s reminder, she suddenly realized that Yu Tianrui, who was traveling with them, had disappeared without a trace.
They looked at each other, and their faces burned with pain.
Despite that, under that kind of dangerous situation just now, it was already their limit to be able to take care of each other and walk hand in hand. If they wanted to pay attention to others, it was not something that Rudimentary Spiritualists could do.
Gradually, more people gathered together.
While the eruption of magma was fierce, very few people died. At this moment, other than some people who had gone missing or were separated, most of the familiar faces could be seen here.
Having said that, in the eyes and on the faces of these people, one could see fear that could not be erased.
It was not a dangerous thing to come to a group of volcanoes to collect peculiar stones. As long as they were not too greedy and jumped into the magma to seek death, given that they were Spiritualists, they could protect themselves here. That said, this magma rain frightened everyone. Not everyone liked the feeling of escaping from death.
They would rather sit on the volcano and quietly collect the Volcanic Ores than bear this kind of shock.
At the spur of the moment, someone asked, “What’s going on? Why didn’t the volcano erupt earlier or later? Why did it erupt at this time?”
Everyone looked at each other with a bitter smile on their faces. ‘Isn’t it decided by God? If you ask us, who are we going to ask?’
A cold voice was heard. “Everyone, do you still remember what strange thing happened when we were on the mountain just now?”
Many people frowned. They looked in a direction, whether intentionally or not.
Gu Gengren also followed the crowd away from the mouth of the volcano. As compared to those Rudimentary and Intermediate Spiritualists who fled in a sorry state, he was much more relaxed as an Advanced Spiritualist.
The Tianxuan Sect was not a top sect like the Seven Stars Sect, but it was definitely not a small sect. Instead, it was one of the sects with an inheritance. As the most promising genius in the sect to become a Venerable One, Gu Gengren’s knowledge and heritage far surpassed that of ordinary people.
When most of the people had just started to flee, he had already left the most dangerous place.
Among the many people present, he was one of the first ones to arrive.
At this moment, Gu Gengren’s face no longer had the initial reserved and calm look. Sensing that more and more people were looking at him, he was somewhat perturbed.
‘Could it be that the sudden eruption of the volcano had something to do with the sound of his zither?’
Having said that, in front of so many people, he did not dare to admit it.
Gu Gengren grunted and asked, “Everyone, what is this place? This is the volcano closest to the Seven Stars Sect. If the volcano here isn’t stable, do you think the sect would’ve ignored it?”
Everyone’s eyes flickered. Although they were dissatisfied with this guy who had obtained a large number of peculiar stones, they thought about it carefully and found that his words were indeed reasonable.
If this volcano was on the verge of erupting at any time, how could the mighty figures of the Seven Stars Sect sit idly by?
The Seven Stars Sect was a super sect with a shocking inheritance. Naturally, they had all kinds of unspeakable means to deal with this matter.
A short and fat man coldly remarked, “I don’t know what’s going on with this volcano suddenly erupting, but I do see that you’re encouraging the sound of the zither to absorb the strange stones. Hmph, you’re absorbing so much at once. Aren’t you afraid of affecting the structure of the treasures here?”
Everyone was stunned at first, then it was as if it suddenly erupted. Countless voices intertwined together. After these spirit cultivators were out of danger, they actually became as lively as a vegetable market. However, those who were slightly calmer could feel the anxiety in the air at this moment.
Perhaps this was just an excuse. What they wanted was to vent the dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts.
Gu Gengren turned his head and glared at this person. His eyes flickered and he said, “Sir, be careful what you say. Hmph, a song can cause a volcano to erupt?” His face was full of ridicule, and he said, “Do you think I’m a top-grade Venerable One? Can I use a piece of music to cause a volcano to erupt?”
The surrounding people were slightly startled. They could not help but exchange glances with each other. Just as Gu Gengren had said, how could such a calamity of heaven and earth be brought about by an ordinary top-grade Spiritualist?
Nonetheless, at this time, there were a few people who could truly maintain their calm.
Almost at the next moment, there was no need for anyone to add fuel to the fire. There were people who started to criticize and the number of people who joined in the crusade seemed to be increasing.
No matter how Gu Gengren and Jian Chengzhe tried to argue, they had already fallen into a situation where they could not defend themselves.
Ling Yue and Guan Yue looked at each other. They were both surprised and happy. Ou Yangming’s disappearance was not a small blow to them, but, if these 2 were killed, Ling Yue guaranteed that he would be able to wake up from his sleep with a smile.
“Woosh…”
Suddenly, a huge ray of light lit up in the sky.
That ray of light rose from the distance and flew over everyone’s heads at lightning speed, heading toward the peak that they were previously on.
Everyone fell silent. They looked up at the sky and felt extremely emotional.
The Seven Stars Sect had finally received the news that the volcano had been destroyed, which was why they had sent a Venerable One here. The Venerable One did not even greet them at all, which made people even more nervous.
“Uhm, I still have some things to do at home, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“Ah, I have something to do too. Let’s go together.”
As the voices were heard one by one, the noisy scene just now became strangely quiet.
Gu Gengren glared hatefully at the people who were the loudest. Then, he turned around and said in a low voice, “There can’t be any Volcanic Ores here anymore. Let’s change places.”
Jian Chengzhe’s sharp gaze swept past Ling Yue. He was unwilling to leave, but he did not want to go against Gu Gengren’s wishes. After all, this powerhouse was his key person to obtain the peculiar stones. If Gu Gengren put in a few good words for him, his master’s attitude toward him would definitely be completely different.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Chengzhe concealed his killing intent toward Ling Yue and turned around. “Alright, let’s go to another spot to extract the ores.”
‘No matter what, let’s win this competition first.’
