The people there witnessed with their own eyes how Xiang Shaoyun fell right into the pool of lava.

”Finally, he's dead,” Huo Linfei said coldly.

The young monk also chimed in, ”Amitabha. Benefactor, you are now in paradise. May you be a kind person in your next life.”

Everyone had an odd expression on their faces when they heard the young monk. That young monk was definitely no virtuous person. They were right. The young monk was called Ming Kong, and he was an expelled disciple of Buddhism. He might look virtuous and kind, but he had a dark and ruthless heart.

”Let's go,” Chen Zilong said. He did not feel anything even as he watched everything unfold.

Li Yaxuan nodded and left with Chen Zilong.

For them, Xiang Shaoyun was merely a pa.s.serby in their lives that they somewhat respected. He was not important enough that they would keep him in their minds. In truth, even they had the urge to attack Xiang Shaoyun earlier. The only reason they didn't was because they were too proud to join hands with so many people.

With Chen Zilong and Li Yaxuan's departure, the others also left one after another. They couldn't stand staying any longer. The millennium earthcore fire had already sunk into the lava. Thus, they would no longer be able to get the millennium earthcore fire. Moreover, it wasn't like they could stay for long anyway; the flame beasts had turned mad and were attacking them without stop.

At this point, they would be happy with just leaving safely. Even after the group left, people were still ceaselessly arriving. A large number of them were killed, and the rest were forced to retreat. None of them were able to obtain the millennium earthcore fire.

Gong Qinyin had also arrived with Gong Fen, but their group was unable to go through the flame beasts and failed to get anywhere near the crater. Ultimately, Gong Fen found out that even the likes of Chen Zilong and Huo Linfei were forced to return empty-handed. Thus, he had no choice but to give up as well and made the decisive choice to withdraw.

On the other hand, Gong Qinyin was unwilling to leave. She wanted to stay and wait for Xiang Shaoyun. It was then that she encountered Li Yaxuan.

”You're waiting for someone?” Li Yaxuan asked.

Gong Qinyin saluted Li Yaxuan before answering, ”Yes, Miss Li.”

”Don't bother. He will not appear anymore,” Li Yaxuan said.

”Why?” Gong Qinyin asked anxiously.

”He fell into the lava,” Li Yaxuan said. She added, ”Not even a King can survive that lava.”

After saying that, she left without waiting for Gong Qinyin's reply. Gong Qinyin felt like she had been struck by lightning as she stood there blankly. After a long while, she gazed at the direction of the crater and muttered, ”H-how is it possible that he died just like that?”

It wasn't like she was very close to him, but through the short interaction they had, she found herself developing an odd feeling toward him, a feeling she couldn't erase. For her to suddenly hear that news, she felt so incomparably sorrowful that she had a sudden urge to charge straight to the volcanic crater.
