Chapter 830: Chapter 0830: There are Monsters in the Magma

On the mountaintop, flashes of mysterious light sparked continuously.

Halfway up the mountain, a rumbling sound persisted endlessly, causing the stones above to roll down ceaselessly, as if an earthquake had struck.

Early in the morning, three Great Demons had agreed to break the formation.

They were worried that Long Fei would interfere with their plans, so they came early.

Daoist Huoyuan, residing in his cave dwelling, activated the Nine Flames Fierce Fire Formation, causing red flames to rise around the cave.

Bear Daoist, Fire Crow Sage, and Carp Daoist each employed their methods, sacrificing their most treasured magical treasures.

Long Fei and Chu Feng exchanged glances. In last night’s battle against these three, none had used their full strength.

Now, the fight was fierce.

Yu Fangming anxiously said, "Sect Hierarch, hurry up and assist them. We can’t let the Demon Clan succeed!"

Long Fei stopped him, comforting him, "Don’t worry. With Daoist Huoyuan holding the fort and the formation protecting us, we would not be able to enter the cave even if we went now. We’ll wait until these demons tire themselves out and then go together to attack."

"Sect Hierarch is wise."

Yu Fangming had a bitter smile in his heart, knowing what Long Fei meant.

Help should be timely, helping only after others have finished fighting clearly shows different intentions and is not what friends would do.

If it had been before, Yu Fangming might have charged up alone to help right away.

But now he was part of the Yin Yang Sect, and without the Sect Hierarch speaking up, going forward would be disrespectful.

Chu Feng asked, "Would that Elder Cang Shan come?"

Long Fei replied, "He’s probably hiding in the dark enjoying the show like us!"

Chu Feng laughed loudly, "Possible. That old chap is cunning as hell, he definitely wouldn’t come forward now."

The three Demon Kings hammered fiercely but could not break through the fiery formation.

They paused their attack, standing at the cave entrance and shouting loudly, "Fire Elemental Daoist, this time the Demon Clan are determined to obtain the Fire Elemental Tree. Be sensible and disable the formation right now and hand over the Fire Elemental Tree. Otherwise, I’ll smash your place to bits and bury your cave."

Carp Daoist called out, "Fire Elemental Brother, this magical treasure is a spiritual root of heaven and earth and wasn’t meant for you alone. Set it free now, and preserve your life. If Mystic Turtle Venerable comes, it might be too late to salvage the situation."

Inside the cave, Daoist Huoyuan shouted, "Break the formation if you can, otherwise leave, Old Master stands against you demons."

"Nonsense!"

Bear Daoist cursed angrily, "What’s with the Demon Clan or Human Race? They are all natural-born spiritual beings. You make it sound like your Human Race is superior."

Carp Daoist yelled, "No use wasting words with him, just wait patiently for Mystic Turtle Venerable to arrive."

The three demons positioned themselves at the cave entrance, not attacking further, and just sat down all around.

Yin De also rested for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in alarm looking at Long Fei, "It’s bad! I see that blazing flame again. This time I saw it clearly—it’s a Fire Bull."

"Huh?"

"A bull?"

Long Fei and Chu Feng both raised their eyebrows.

Both curiously asked, "Where did the bull come from?"

Yin De replied, "Right inside the earth’s magma vein beneath this cave dwelling."

He spoke with a dead-serious tone, showing no sign of jesting.

Long Fei instructed, "Let’s go, don’t let that creature destroy my Fire Elemental Tree."

He trusted Yin De, believing in his ability to foresee the future.

Chu Feng and the others promptly got up.

Yu Fangming stared blankly at Long Fei.

Long Fei, noticing his discomfort, quickly corrected himself, "I misspoke, it should be Daoist Huoyuan’s Fire Elemental Tree. You see, I got flustered and misspoke as if it were mine."

Yu Fangming forced a laugh and said nothing more.

People seldom visit without a reason, and among those present, who didn’t have some aspirations or ambitions to acquire such a naturally occurring Spiritual Root?

It was an undeniable fact, and Yu Fangming couldn’t find fault with it.

A group of people immediately rushed over, and upon sensing their arrival, the three Great Demons stood up.

The Fire Crow Sage was the first to spot Long Fei, and staring at him with shining eyes, he exclaimed, "You’ve got guts, kid, daring to come here."

Bear Daoist yelled, "You thieving lad, I knew you were up to no good. If you want the Fire Elemental Tree, you’ll have to step over our dead bodies first."

Carp Daoist was more composed, brightly displaying his Magic Artifact, a Black Spear.

Long Fei explained to them, "Don’t get worked up, I am here to protect the Fire Elemental Tree, not to fight over it with you. Step aside, I need to speak with Daoist Huoyuan."

The three Great Demons, unsure of his intentions, warily took a step back.

At this moment, it was best to avoid any complications, and patience was advised.

Long Fei went forward, stood at the cave entrance, and shouted inside, "Brother Huoyuan, listen to me. Your enemy isn’t outside, but in the magma. Elder Yin De just calculated that a Demon is about to emerge from the magma. You’d better secure the Fire Elemental Tree quickly; otherwise, there won’t be anything left of it soon."

Daoist Huoyuan inside shouted back angrily, "Bah, you rascal, I always knew you were up to no good, and you’ve proven me right. Have Yu Fangming come here to explain himself—I want to see how that old chap will justify this!"

Yu Fangming hurried forward, shouting inside, "Oh, brother Huoyuan, our Sect Hierarch is telling the truth! We aren’t deceiving you. Daoist Yin De is right here. He’s known for his predictive abilities. Hurry up and secure the Fire Elemental Tree before it’s destroyed by the monster in the lava."

Upon seeing this, Yin De stepped forward and added, "Daoist Huoyuan, I’ve just discerned that something indeed is emerging from the lava. Don’t you notice something different about the lava now?"

"Well then, you’ve even agreed amongst yourselves. A Fire Elemental Tree sees into a person’s heart; you bunch of robbers only want the tree if you can step over my dead body."

At this point, Daoist Huoyuan was not about to believe them. He was aware of the changes in the lava but attributed them to ordinary geological changes.

He didn’t believe there was something inside it.

What kind of monster could withstand the temperature of lava?

The three Great Demons, having heard this, also tensed, urgently declaring, "Why hasn’t the Mystic Turtle Venerable arrived yet?"

"Human lad, is everything you said true?"

Bear Daoist stared intensely at Long Fei and shouted.

Long Fei, who was studying the formation in front of him, instructed the Bear Daoist and the others, "There’s no time left—we need to cooperate and break the formation together. If we delay any longer, no one will be able to claim the Fire Elemental Tree."

Upon hearing this, the three Great Demons thought, could this be a trap?

However, since they had no way to break the formation themselves, if Long Fei had a way, they would use his help to break the formation first.

If Long Fei was deceiving them, they were capable of handling it.

With that thought, the three Great Demons decisively said, "Tell us, what should we do?"

Long Fei briefed them, "This Nine Flames Fierce Fire Formation draws its power from the earth’s veins, made up of nine Formation Eyes. To break the formation, we need to attack all nine Formation Eyes simultaneously so the Nine Flames can’t unite. Each of us can handle the flames from one Formation Eye easily."

"With professional ease!"

"I just knew this formation was difficult to break."

"Look, I told you this formation was sophisticated! I always tell you to study more about formations, but you won’t listen. Look how he pinpointed the key aspect in just a few words."

The three Great Demons, their eyes shining, forgot about breaking the formation and started flattering each other.

Their laughter lightened the intense atmosphere momentarily.

They had always thought of demons as vicious brutes that attacked on sight.

These three had completely changed their perspective on demons.
