Chapter 218: Vermillion Toad Mountain, Destroyed!

Chapter 218: Vermillion Toad Mountain, Destroyed!

As the moon rose to its zenith, two flying ships and over a hundred flying lights, resembling galloping dragons and soaring horses, swiftly approached, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Fellow Daoist Nan Gong!"

"Fellow Daoist Li!"

Upon hearing these words, the two groups gradually came to a halt.

Nan Gong Jin, with a hunched back and a pale face, gazed upon the Highland Plain battlefield.

The stench of blood was almost suffocating.

He let out a bitter laugh, "It seems like you guys didn't fare much better either!"

His words were somewhat harsh.

However, when Luo Chen saw that there were only a dozen or so Qi Condensation Late Stage Cultivators left on the Nan Gong Clan's flying ship, he could only sigh.

The other party was in an even worse situation than the Luo Tianhui! Initially, they had arrived at Da He Fang with an imposing presence, and although they couldn't be considered overwhelmingly powerful, they were still a dominant force in the region.

But now, after many twists and turns, only a few of them remained.

"What are your plans from now on?" Luo Chen asked.

Li Yixuan replied without hesitation, "Since we've offended the Huo Family, we should unite and fight against the common enemy together!"

What a smart woman!

Luo Chen glanced at her, knowing that she hadn't informed Nan Gong Jin about their previous conversation at the Wing Flower Mountain.

If she had, Nan Gong Jin would have known that Luo Chen had taken on the brunt of Huo Quan's anger alone.

Under those circumstances, Nan Gong Jin would not have chosen to travel together.

But now, with everyone having offended the Huo Family and being targeted by them, Nan Gong Jin had only one choice to avoid being singled out.

As expected.

Nan Gong Jin sighed and said, "Let's travel together! If Huo Quan comes after us, with the three of us, we might be able to hold him off for a while."

"It's not just the three of us, there's also Fellow Daoist Wang Yuan!" Li Yixuan added.

It was clear that although Wang Yuan had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, her performance in the two instances of fighting against higher-level opponents had earned her recognition.

Nan Gong Jin nodded, feeling a rare glimmer of hope.

With four Foundation Establishment cultivators, they had a high chance of victory against a mid-stage Foundation Establishment opponent.

If Huo Quan, after emerging from his seclusion, had indeed reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment level, the four of them might not be able to defeat him, but by dispersing and fleeing, they could still make the Huo Family feel threatened.

This way, while holding the Huo Hu card, they also had a foundation to negotiate with the Huo Family!

At this moment, the Luo Tianhui had already cleaned up the battlefield, and under the blazing fire, all the corpses were reduced to ashes.

"Let's go, we must rush through the night and leave the Highland Plain as soon as possible!"

Luo Chen took charge without hesitation.

Li Yixuan and the Nan Gong Clan did not refuse.

In this battle, the Luo Tianhui had faced the most pressure.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators, over a thousand Great River Gang members, and the array waiting for their prey.

Under such extremely unfavorable circumstances, Luo Chen had led his people to break through and create a new world.

He had the qualifications to be the leader of the three parties.

However.

"I have one request."

Li Yixuan looked at the two of them with pleading eyes.

"Can you spare some space on your flying ship for..."

Nan Gong Jin frowned.

Luo Chen looked at the ordinary warriors of the Li Clan behind her, who were seated on tall dragon horses, their faces exhausted.

The Li Clan had lived and multiplied in Da He Fang for many years and had not experienced many wars.

As a result, many ordinary people without spiritual roots were born.

When they left Da He Fang, Li Yixuan gritted her teeth and brought most of them along.

In fact, the Nan Gong Clan was in a similar situation.

Their plan was simple: to find a Spirit Land not far from Da He Fang and settle down.

Bringing ordinary people along had its advantages in many situations.

However, they never expected things to escalate to this point.

Now, the ordinary people of the Nan Gong Clan had all perished in the battle against the Bai Clan in Radiant Light Lane.

Although it was heartbreaking, the subsequent escape journey became much lighter and more manageable.

On the contrary, the Li Clan,

Having not experienced a major battle, their clan members remained intact.

This should have been a good thing, but now, due to their large numbers, it became a hindrance to their swift journey.

"Allocate some space to accommodate the ordinary people, and let the Li Clan cultivators fly using their Magical Tools."

"I'm willing to offer some Spirit Stones!"

Nan Gong Jin opened his mouth, but Luo Chen spoke first, "There's no need for Spirit Stones. Bringing them along is not impossible, but..."

Scanning the ordinary people, Luo Chen said coldly, "Once we reach a safe place, you must leave them behind. Otherwise, going to Celestial Wave City with them will only become a burden!"

Li Yixuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Nan Gong Jin didn't say anything further.

Now that both the Luo Tianhui and the Nan Gong Clan had suffered heavy losses, there was indeed more space on the flying ships.

As for the ordinary people, no special conditions were needed; they could all be squeezed in.

Soon.

With the help of the cultivators, all the ordinary people of the Li Clan boarded the flying ship.

There were still over a hundred dragon horses left, which were also placed in the Li Clan's Spirit Beast Bags.

Only then did Li Yixuan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With a wave of her hand, the flying ship slowly rose into the sky.

On the Nan Gong Clan's flying ship.

Nan Gong Jin, with a hunched back and a cane in hand, gazed towards the direction of Radiant Light Lane, as if he could see the giant Yujie Mountain.

Gritting his teeth and biting his blood, he said, "Remember this humiliation!"

"One day, the Nan Gong Clan will return and wash the Yujie Mountain with blood!"

"If I fail, you, Qin'er, must do it. If you fail, pass it on to our descendants, and never forget!"

Behind him, the dozen or so Nan Gong Clan cultivators' eyes blazed with intense hatred, nodding heavily in agreement.

In a wheelchair, Nan Gong Qin's pale face twisted with rage, "This grudge is endless!"

"Bai Family, I will destroy you!"

At the forefront, on a massive flying ship, Luo Chen stood tall.

Sima Huiwang and Meng Luo Qinglian stood behind him.

The night breeze blew, unable to extinguish the fury in their hearts.

With heads bowed, they gazed upon the Highland Plain, where pillars lay scattered, and bodies burned to ashes in the raging fire.

A friend's life had been lost forever at this place.

Luo Chen closed his eyes.

"I do not offend others, yet others offend me."

"In this world, the strong prey on the weak, and there's no room for luck."

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked back at the path they had come.

Ten li, a hundred li, a thousand li...

It was as if he was looking at Vermillion Toad Mountain, where the sound of toads echoed.

"Huo Family!"

"A nine-generation grudge can still be avenged!"

"I will be back!"

The night owl's mournful cry mingled with the cold wind's howl.

As the flying ship sped, dust and fire were left behind.

...

"Dan Chenzi!"

"How dare you threaten me with the Yu Family! I'll remember you!"

On the Jade Feather White Eagle, a young noblewoman in court attire wore a somber expression, her anger rising uncontrollably.

But deep within, fear gripped her bones.

She was truly terrified!

At that moment, the chilling intent in Luo Chen's words was undeniable.

With the might of defeating Tu Shan and Wang Haichao, both at the Foundation Establishment stage, Luo Chen had the confidence to utter such words.

She couldn't refute him.

Thus, her heart trembled with cold, and she could only rely on curses to dispel her fear.

After cursing for a while, she thought of Li Yixuan.

She wanted to curse this despicable person for helping Luo Chen.

But then she recalled how she had threatened him with the Li Family.

"It's truly the cycle of karma, and retribution is swift!"

She sighed bitterly.

Controlling the Spirit Beast beneath her, she flew towards Mount Tai Market.

In her mind, she continued to ponder how to deal with Huo Quan after his seclusion.

According to Luo Chen's threat, the details of the Highland Plain battle must remain undisclosed.

"Wang Yuan's combat power, the betrayal of that formation master..."

"In that case, let's shift all blame onto Luo Chen!"

"Since you want to play big, be prepared to face the wrath of a Foundation Establishment stage master!"

"Oh no, that despicable Li Yixuan also shares the blame. If not for her fighting with all her might, battling me for hundreds of rounds, I would have saved Huo Hu."

"Yes, that's right!"

Her thoughts raced, and she had prepared all her excuses.

She intended to shift all blame onto Luo Chen and Li Yixuan.

At the same time, she tried to distance herself from the situation.

"Should I fake some injuries on my body?"

Sometimes, a self-inflicted injury is the most convincing.

She hesitated for a moment, and the Jade Feather White Eagle also came to a halt.

"Hmm?"

"Why has the White Eagle stopped?"

As she wondered, a massive presence slowly emerged.

Her eyes widened as she looked towards the Lancang River, where it flowed without end.

A colossal toad slowly emerged from the river, its body stretching over ten zhang tall.

Its back was filled with unimaginable toxins, and its sharp claws were chilling, yet it had only three legs.

Wherever it passed, magical tools docked at the wharf shattered like tofu.

Yu Rou trembled, muttering, "Three-Legged River Swallower Toad!"

"It's the same toad from before, and it has advanced to the mid-third rank."

"No, what is it doing!"

In Yu Rou's sight, the Three-Legged River Swallower Toad headed towards the nearby Mount Tai Market.

Suddenly, it stopped.

Raising its head, it gazed towards Vermillion Toad Mountain, its eyes bloodshot.

As if something there emitted a deadly scent, attracting it.

"Croak!"

After a muffled croak, it took a deep breath, its abdomen swelling several times over.

Then, with its three legs, it pushed off the ground.

Its massive body sprang up like a spring, soaring into the high heavens.

The water it carried fell like a torrential downpour.

Upon reaching a critical point, it slanted and plummeted.

Its descent was clearly aimed at the tranquil Vermillion Toad Mountain in the night.

At that moment, someone within Vermillion Toad Mountain seemed to sense something.

Ignoring everything, they forcefully broke through their seclusion.

A white ruler flew out, rapidly expanding to a hundred zhang in size.

This was a sign of exerting all strength, pushing the magical treasure to its limits.

However, the seemingly massive treasure was casually swatted away by the Three-Legged River Swallower Toad, and its hundred-foot spiritual light dimmed as it flew back.

"Impossible!!!"

A mournful howl echoed.

But the Three-Legged River Swallower Toad had already crashed into the mountain.

Boom! A massive sound reverberated.

Then, as if triggering a chain reaction, an immense amount of heavenly and earthly essence poured out like a dam bursting.

A pillar of fire erupted from the summit of Vermillion Toad Mountain.

Boom! The volcano erupted!

Countless fire pillars soared into the sky.

Lava flowed, engulfing pavilions and palaces, giant trees, and flowers in its path.

Outside Mount Tai Market.

Yu Rou stood frozen, her mouth agape, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Vermillion Toad Mountain was destroyed!
