The mountain to the south of Sun Ridge…
Dongfang Mo was pacing back and forth. He had yet to treat his injuries. Some of them had already blistered.
”Elder Mo, it won't help if you just keep walking up and down here,” Mui Yezhuo said.
”Father, let's head back to the village. There's no way they could have survived,” Dongfang Ming said.
”Silence!” Dongfang Mo snapped anxiously, ”If anything happens to them, I shall go down with them too! It's all my fault, it's all my fault! I wasn't able to stop the Ruler-level creature in time, and they were forced to jump into the volcanic pool. How am I going to explain it to the Mui Clan, Fanxue Mountain, and the people of our clan!?”
”Why do you even need to explain yourself? The plan was dangerous from the beginning. It was just unlucky that the Kunlun Wind was blowing when they were here! Father, you shouldn't blame yourself for it. Let's just do what we're supposed to. If anything, we can just gather another bunch of people to go down and see if they can retrieve their corpses...” Dongfang Ming said.
Dongfang Mo kicked Dongfang Ming angrily. Why did he have such an unreliable and narrow-minded son? The fate of their clans was at stake, and yet he was still acting like it was nothing important! If he put the Dongfang Clan in his son's hands, it was only a matter of time before the clan fell!
”Old Mo, Old Mo!” a middle-aged man suddenly yelled.
Dongfang Mo turned around and noticed silver pillars rising, forming a star-shaped magic formation that lit up the entire mountain.
”Is...is that...” Dongfang Mo was shocked when he saw the light.
Could it be that they had destroyed the Sarkinite node?
”Quick, connect with them!” Dongfang Mo blurted out.
The middle-aged man immediately called a few Space mages over. They stood in six symmetrical spots, guiding the energy of the Scroll of Space to them.
”Come, let's go and receive them! Who would have thought...who would have thought!” Dongfang Mo was overjoyed. He was the first to jump into the magic formation.
He initially thought the whole group was going to be wiped out in the volcanic pool. To his surprise, they had actually accomplished the difficult mission! It was unbelievable that they managed to destroy the Sarkinite even after they were ambushed by the Fiery-Winged Tyrant!
Mui Yezhuo and Dongfang Mo immediately led the way and went inside the Portal.
A bunch of people swiftly disappeared from the mountain, leaving just a few young Mages behind to keep watch. They would have to activate the Portal again to leave the fire vein.

”HAHAHA, it's so great to know that all of you are fine… huh, why are there so many people in here?” Dongfang Mo approached Mui Guangqing and the others in great humor.
What happened here? Didn't they send only one group of people down? Why was there another group of people here?
”Isn't that Mu Xumian?” Mui Yezhuo immediately recognized her. Her pale face still had some burn marks on it.
Mu Xumian had regained consciousness, yet she was completely restricted by the Rebelling Shadows, keeping her in an extremely vulnerable state.
”Qi Shan brought them in here. That piece of shit… our clan has been treating him like an honorable guest! Even if Mui Nuxin decided to seek happiness elsewhere, he still couldn't repay our clan's kindness to him, not to mention that Mui Nuxin was never in an official relationship with him. Not only did he betray us, he even tried to get us killed… that son of a b**ch!” Mui Zhuocheng cursed, extremely angry at Qi Shan.
Everyone had risked their lives to come here. They finally had a glimpse of hope of leaving the place, yet it was almost ruined by the people of the Mu Clan. How could they not hold a grudge against Qi Shan?
They all thought Qi Shan was a real man when he was brave enough to prove himself again despite the circumstances, yet he turned out to be such a vile person. What he did was utterly disgusting and infuriating!
Dongfang Mo and Mui Yezhuo exchanged glances with one another. They did not expect so many things to have happened in the underground cave, nor could they imagine Mu Xumian, a Super Mage, being defeated and bound up in a corner like a prisoner. She had completely lost her demeanor as a Super Mage!
Mu Xumian might not be as strong as they were, but she was still quite reputable in the Mu Clan!
However, Dongfang Mo and Mui Yezhuo trembled in anger when they realized what the Mu Clan had tried to do!
