Chapter 271: Bottom Of The Volcano

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Another two hours passed, and tens of meters away from the five of them, a crevice in the ground opened up. All of them used their spiritual will to sweep across the opening and discovered that the crevice led straight to the bottom of the volcano.

So this was how it worked. Mo Wuji stopped planting array flags as he could open this concealment array, not because his array dao was of a high enough standard, but because he had seen this concealment array before.

Initially when he was going up against horse bandits Wuchang and Wushuang, he had seen such an impressive concealment array. If it wasn’t for a horse bandit bringing him to the entrance of the array, he probably would not have found it in a hundred years.

”Alliance Head Mo, if we enter from there, there’s a good chance that we’ll die.” Feng Zhe spoke worriedly as he looked at the crack leading underneath the volcano.

Bu Mo Wuji calmly replied, ”We’ve found the location, everyone can go in with me or stay here. It’s up to you.”

After speaking, Mo Wuji was the first to leap into the crevice. The Lost Continent’s number one pill refiner who was also a True God Stage expert was in trouble, so even if he wasn’t the Hundred Sect Alliance’s Alliance Head, he had to go save her. On top of that, based on their friendship, he had to help Linglong too.

Seeing Mo Wuji going in, Xing Huang followed suit without hesitation.

Feng Zhe was a little stunned, and he looked to Fang Zhentian, who smiled back at him, ”Since the Heaven Demon Sect is a member of the Hundred Sect Alliance, we naturally can’t be left behind. Moreover, I am indebted to Alliance Head Mo, and the Heaven Demon Sect is always clear about debts and grudges.”

As he spoke, Fang Zhentian also jumped into the opening.

With a sigh, Feng Zhe knew that if he did not go in, he would not be able to lift his head high, not to mention that the Great Evolution Sect would also be ridiculed. While he had some reservations, he could only leap into the crack behind the others.

Although it was below a volcano, Mo Wuji and co could not feel much heat, and it even felt a little colling. The underground seemed like it had formed naturally, without a fixed staircase, only having a twisting opening extending into the distance. The various craters around looked like the aftermath of some underground earthquakes.There was no light either. Luckily all of them had spiritual will, so the lack of illumination did not affect them one bit.

They went on in the ups and downs, twist and turns of the underground for an hour, before a sliver of light appeared in front of them.

Mo Wuji quickly sped up, and they soon reached a bright location.

This was a basin hidden beneath the volcano, which had craters everywhere. The presence of tens of Night Illumination Pearls made them understand that the basin was formed naturally, and someone had been there before. The slight cooling air was coming from the bottom of this basin too.

Some green gases descended from the ceiling, sinking straight to the bottom of the basin. At the top, the green gas was around ten meters in radius, but when it reached the bottom, only a radius of a meter remained, which made it look like a cone.

Even if Mo Wuji did not know anything, he could infer that this green gas was probably part of the Scholar's Heart fire from the outside.

As his gaze fell to the sides of the basin, he saw Linglong enveloped by a green mist. She lay flat beside the green gas, without any signs of life. Even her face was deathly pale, and her vitals could not be sensed at all.

Mo Wuji could already concoct Tier 5 Earth Spiritual Pills, hence he could be considered a true Tier 5 Earth Pill Refiner. He could discern Linglong’s condition with one look: over 90% of the blood in her body had been drained away by someone.

A short distance behind Granny Linglong, Mo Wuji spotted a niche in the wall, where a skeleton-like man sat. At that moment, the man was staring straight at Mo Wuji.

Feng Zhenqiu and co. also noticed this bony man at the same time, and they instinctively split up.

”Honest Qi?” When he saw the bony man, Mo Wuji recognised him right away. Although compared to the Honest Qi he knew, this Honest Qi only had skin and bones left, but that distinctive face was still etched in Mo Wuji’s mind.

He did not know what Honest Qi went though, to actually turn into this thing that looked neither like a human nor a ghost.

”So it’s you, good, good…” The bony man let out a voice that gave them goosebumps, and his killing intent could not longer be masked.

A familiar feeling engulfed Mo Wuji, and with a sudden shock, he stepped one step back, calmly staring at this bony man and said, ”You’re not Honest Qi, you’re Jing Gumu. You possessed Honest Qi…”

After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he was secretly shocked. Jing Gumu’s leftover spirit was ambushed by Pu Qian and co, but in the end he still managed to escape. Mo Wuji thought that Jing Gumu would not be able to recover from that. However, who knew that in the short period of a few years, Jing Gumu actually possessed Honest Qi. From his appearance, he should have regained most of his strength.

This Honest Qi was also too useless, to be possessed by a leftover spirit, what an idiot. No wonder Lu Mang said that Honest Qi didn’t look for him for quite a while, the guy was actually possessed.
