Hei Suo was almost at the crater and didn’t dare to have any more random thoughts. He turned even more cautious.
In front of the crater were two huge lava lizards.
The two lizards glanced at him before lying down again, probably recognizing him as an ally.
Gudong~~
Hei Suo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to stifle his inward anxiety..
These two huge lava lizards were no less than four or five meters tall and close to ten meters in length. Not only were their builds gigantic, but their strengths were close to Rank Nine Transcendent Realm.
In accordance with the fierce beast’s rankings, they belonged to ninth-grade top-level fierce beasts!
The fierce beast that had once caused a big headache for White Cloud Great Master was just a first-grade low-level fierce beast.
A casual swing of these two fierce beasts’ claws could directly swat Hei Suo to death.
One should know that, in terms of pure combat power, these two ninth-grade top-leveled fierce beasts were not inferior to powerhouses who had just stepped into the Celestial Realm.
Merely, they were not as intelligent as Celestial Realm powerhouses and lacked their varied means.
Upon seeing the two lava lizards giving way, Hei Suo sighed in relief and entered the crater.
Even though it was an active volcano, it wouldn’t erupt regularly.
However, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy was able to make this volcano continuously spurt magma for his cultivation. To better this, the entire mountain peak was completely covered in magma besides the designated path. It was basically impossible to come and go at will.
On the crater was a floating palace.
Metal chains refined from unknown materials dangled in midair, and the palace was completely surrounded with magma. Even the palace walls reached thousands of degrees.
However, in such an environment, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy sat very comfortably, holding a book to read.
When Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy was not angry, he looked refined and cultured, like a middle-aged scholar.
In fact, he was several years older than White Cloud Great Master. Now, he was already over a hundred years old.
The lifespan of Celestial Realm martial artists was one hundred years more than Transcendent Realm martial artists, about three hundred years.
In other words, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy was actually very young.
Hei Suo stood there trembling. Although he was Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy’s disciple, he never dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
Especially after he had been seriously injured by Ling Xiao and seriously disappointed his master… If he made any more mistakes, his master might kill him in anger.
“Master, what instructions do you have for summoning this disciple?”
Hei Suo cupped his hands and asked respectfully.
“Speak, what is the situation of Ling Xiao? Hmm, speak about the others too. Although White Cloud is already a waste, this Master absolutely doesn’t permit any of his disciples to smoothly grow in the Moonlight Sect.”
All said that after one’s cultivation base reached a certain level, one’s mentality would change and one wouldn’t bicker with small people.
However, this statement was not true for Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
This person had always been cautious. Even if there was the slightest threat, he would ruthlessly eliminate it in the bud. He would never allow the other party a chance to avenge themselves.
“This disciple is guilty. This disciple was actually unable to deal with a few outer disciples. This disciple requests Master to punish me.”
Hei Suo hastily knelt down. He didn’t even dare to look at Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
“Answer the questions.”
Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy coldly said.
Hei Suo swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied carefully: “Altogether, three disciples of Old Man White Cloud have entered the Moonlight Sect. At present, the whereabouts of Leng Mei are unknown. It seems that she disappeared within a few days after joining the Moonlight Sect.”
“Dai Yuling has become Lan Yu’er’s disciple. Jin Ming and the others destroyed her martial soul, but it miraculously returned; moreover, it’s more powerful than before.”
“As for Ling Xiao, since Master came to the Outer Sect and took away Wang Feng, he has become the number one of the Outer Sect. Now, the Hall Master of Medicine Hall, Hall Master of Formation Hall, Tower Master of Desperate Tower, Tower Master of Inner Sect’s Moonlight Tower, and Lan Yu’er have a favorable impression of him. Especially Medicine Hall’s Hall Master Yang Danlin and Medicine Hall’s Deputy Hall Master Lan Yu’er, I’m afraid they will protect him with their lives.”
Although Hei Suo knew that these matters would make his Master unhappy, he had to say them.
He didn’t dare to lie. Once he lied, his ending would be even more terrifying.
“So, this Master is truly powerless to make a move against this Ling Xiao?”
Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy’s face turned gloomy.
After a short while, he said viciously: “This Ling Xiao must die! Just because of his alchemy talent, he must die!”
Hei Suo understood why his Master said so.
An outstanding alchemist could overturn the situation. Even if his cultivation base was not up to much, he would still be able to summon many experts.
By then, Ling Xiao would be even more difficult to deal with than a Celestial Realm expert.
Yang Danlin was a very good example.
Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy could certainly kill Yang Danlin one-on-one, but he didn’t dare to do it. Yang Danlin could always have a Celestial Realm expert protect him for free. The only requirement was to refine pills for the other party.
“This disciple knows! I request Master to clarify how to deal with this kid.”
Hei Suo truly couldn’t think of any way to deal with Ling Xiao. He could only hope that Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy could think of something.
“You have to deal with this matter. It’s not good for this Master to show up.”
After speaking, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy suddenly showed a cold smile and said: “When this Master next comes out of seclusion, Desperate Tower Master, Inner Sect’s Moonlight Tower Master, and the Formation Hall Master will not be a problem. You have to know that stronger fists speak in this world.”
“This disciple understands.”
Hei Suo nodded. He understood what Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy meant. The decision would be made after Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy emerged from seclusion.
“When this Master is in seclusion, you have to secretly make arrangements and continue to win over the inner disciples, but you must be careful to not alarm the higher-ups of the sect. Otherwise, this master will not be able to protect you.”
Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy added: “Moreover, don’t forget the annual ‘Moon Advent Festival Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.’ Although your aptitude is inferior to your Junior Brother Ming Yian’s, it is still an immortal-grade treasured body, which is better than most of the sect’s disciples. Seize this chance to leap over the dragon gate’s like a carp.”
Hei Suo couldn’t help smiling, hastily lowered his head, and said: “This disciple obeys your command!”
Allegedly, every year for a fixed period of time, there would be no day in the Moonlight Sect. The moon would continuously hang in the sky above the Moonlight Pagoda, seemingly touchable.
This period of time would last about seven days and called the Moon Advent Festival.
During this period of time, climbing the Moonlight Pagoda, you would get various opportunities. This was also called the Moon Advent Festival Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.
This Pagoda Climbing Ceremony was for all the disciples of the Moonlight Sect, but basically, no outer disciple had the ability to enter it.
They couldn’t even pass the first checkpoint, let alone looking for their own opportunities.
“Okay, you can leave, but remember what this Master instructed.”
“This disciple will never forget.”
Hei Suo cupped his hands then left the crater.
