"Yeah, as long as I have a clear conscience, it's fine. Who cares if Ice Emperor Palace or not, when the time comes, we'll compete fairly. I think Ice Emperor Palace isn't that unreasonable," Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Since you've thought it through, then let's hurry up and travel. We should be far behind by now," Hu Mei’er said somewhat anxiously.

Zhang Yan and Hu Mei’er looked in the direction Wang Zong was pointing, and discovered a mountain protruding in the distance. This mountain looked like a fiery-red wall, blocking the entire Fireplume Forest.

Hu Mei’er said in shock, "What is that? Are we at the edge of the Sky Feather Secret Realm? There's no other way? "

"Of course not, that's the Scarlet Flame Volcano, part of the Sky Feather Mystic Realm, and is also the boundary between the Fire Feather Forest and the Sky Feather Secret Area. After the Scarlet Flame Volcano, we'll be at the inner part of the Sky Feather Mystic Realm, but it's just that the Scarlet Flame Volcano isn't that easy to pass through. Among those who enter the Sky Feather Mystic Realm, some of them might be able to pass through the Fireplume Forest, but among the remaining eight floors, only one can barely pass through the Scarlet Flame Volcano," Zhang Yan explained.

"Brother Zhang Yan is right, it's true," Wang Zong said with a smile.

Hu Mei’er asked in shock, "Why? Is this Scarlet Flame Volcano very dangerous? "

"Danger? Of course it's dangerous, "Zhang Yan nodded her head and said." It's said that the Scarlet Flame Volcano is extremely dangerous, and has a very strong test of a martial artist's strength. If one's strength is lacking, then it's impossible for them to survive on the Scarlet Flame Volcano, let alone climb over the Scarlet Flame Volcano to the other side. "

"However, although this Crimson Flame Volcano is dangerous, it is still a pretty good challenge for us. It is said that there is a treasure within the volcano that has yet to be found. We might as well go in and take a look," said Wang Zong with some expectation.

"I have also seen this. It is said that it is a fire attribute treasure, and it is of great benefit to fire attribute practitioners," Zhang Yan said faintly.

Hu Mei’er's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, because she was a fire attribute martial artist. Upon hearing that it was a fire attribute treasure, Hu Mei’er immediately became interested, and could not help but say anxiously: "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and get on the road, it would not be good if someone else got it first. "

As Hu Mei’er spoke, he forcefully pulled Zhang Yan along and quickly rushed towards Scarlet Flame Volcano in the distance. Wang Zong and Xuanyuan Ming followed closely behind him.

A day later, Hu Mei’er said in a somewhat discouraged voice, "Why is it still so far away? The Scarlet Flame Volcano is right in front of us, why haven't we arrived yet? "

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, although we seem to be very close, in truth, we are very far from the Scarlet Flame Volcano, so of course we will need to spend some time to reach there. This is the so called 'Watch the mountain and see a dead horse', it looks like we are very close, but when you really start walking, you will realise that there is still a long way to go."

"However, we are already halfway through. I estimate that we will reach the Scarlet Flame Volcano in a day," Zhang Yan consoled Hu Mei’er.

After Hu Mei’er heard this, he smiled and said: "That's good, I had thought that we had fallen into some kind of trap array technique, we have been walking in place, as long as there is nothing else we can do."

"That's not right. Although we haven't been hit by any formation, someone seems to be targeting us nearby," Wang Zong said cautiously as he looked around cautiously. "I feel like we're already surrounded."

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Did you feel it just now? We've been surrounded for a long time, and they say a lot, so we don't know what they want. "

"What?" We're surrounded? " Hu Mei’er asked Zhang Yan as he looked at him in shock.

Zhang Yan heard and nodded her head: "That's right, there is a group of people approaching us. Originally, I thought that they were warriors heading towards the Scarlet Flame Volcano, so I did not pay much attention to them.

"Then what should we do?" Hu Mei’er had already felt the Qi of this group of people, and could not help but say worriedly: "There are more in this group, and a few of them have stronger Qi, should we hide away for now? Don't go head to head with them? "

"It's too late, we've already been discovered by them. Furthermore, they have already locked onto us, we won't make it even if we want to," Zhang Yan coldly said: "Besides, escaping isn't our style, when the four of us are together, could there be anything else we're afraid of? So what if they have more people? If we get pissed off, we'll kill them all anyway. "

"That's right. Even if they have more people, it would be useless. Before absolute strength, everything is useless," Wang Zong coldly said.

Xuanyuan Ming also nodded his head and said, "It's been a few days since I last exercised. This time, I'll train with these people and see who has the guts to actually try something with the four of us."

After thinking this through, the four of them did not choose to run away. Instead, they sat under a tree and rested. They had been on the road for the past few days and had not stopped for even a second.

Zhang Yan leaned directly against the Fireplume tree behind him and closed her eyes to rest.

They were extremely quick and cautious, afraid that they would alarm Zhang Yan and the rest, which consisted of four people, led by an old man. The old man turned his head and waved his hand: "You should be careful and try your best to hide your presence, don't let the four people feel it, otherwise if they run away, wouldn't we have waited so many days for nothing?"

Hearing that, everyone held their breath, and hid their auras to the greatest extent, as they slowly approached Zhang Yan and the others. They were completely unaware that Zhang Yan had already discovered them, and had been waiting for them the entire time.

When they were still some distance away from Zhang Yan and the others, they stopped, all of them waiting for the old man's orders. The old man probed the fluctuations of Zhang Yan and the others' Spirit Energy, assessing their strength, and felt that their movements were slower.

When they arrived in front of Zhang Yan and the others, everyone was stunned. Originally, they were afraid that Zhang Yan and the others would escape, so they had been extremely cautious and surrounded them, but it seemed like none of them noticed them. Zhang Yan was leaning against the Fireplume Tree and sleeping soundly, to the point that everyone could hear Zhang Yan's deafening snores.

Wang Zong and Xuanyuan Ming were sitting cross-legged on the ground, training with Spirit Stone in their hands. They had consumed a lot of Spirit Energy s from their journey in the past few days, so they wanted to make use of this time to replenish the Spirit Energy in their bodies so that they could be in peak condition.

As for Hu Mei’er, he leaned on Zhang Yan and focused on his cultivation, because the environment here was extremely suitable for Hu Mei’er to train in. Previously, Hu Mei’er did not have the time to stop and cultivate, he could only rush and not increase his cultivation speed, but this time, after training, Hu Mei’er could clearly feel that his cultivation had increased even faster, and he had already reached the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Ancestor.

At this moment, everyone rushed over and shouted at the four of them, "You four, stand up!"

Zhang Yan acted as if she did not hear it, and continued to sleep soundly. As for Hu Mei’er, who had reached a critical juncture in his cultivation, she did not pay attention to anyone else and continued to quickly cultivate. At this time, only Wang Zong and Xuanyuan Ming stood up.

Xuanyuan Ming's face was still covered by a veil, but he did not speak. He just coldly looked at the crowd and said, "You have some guts to actually surround us here? I think all of you don't want to live anymore? "Get out of my way, all of you!"

When everyone heard that, their eyes instantly widened. They were about to attack Wang Zong, but the old man stopped them. He looked at Wang Zong and asked, "Who are you?" How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me? "
