Tu Qi fought with Old Li until interrupted by the City Lord Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan declared that while eliminating the Evil Sect was good, all participants must agree to a rule of no retribution for deaths within the stronghold. After a tense wait, the volcano erupted, intensifying its light.

Once everyone got used to the brightness, they suddenly saw an invisible pressure from the volcano gradually dissipating.

This scene instantly revitalized everyone who had lost their spirit!

"The pressure is gone!"

At this moment, someone suddenly reacted and shouted loudly.

"Go!"

Then, Wang Yuan took the lead, directly flying towards the volcano crater with the team.

Many people from the summit rushed out one after another.

Unexpectedly, dozens of figures suddenly burst out from the surrounding forest, flying towards the volcano crater.

The faces of those people were all disguised, obviously having been lurking nearby for a long time, just waiting to sneak into the volcano crater at this precise moment.

"Oh my god, Brother Chen Yang, we need to rush too."

Tu Qi said urgently.

Seeing that many people had already rushed towards the volcano crater, Chen Yang also took off, heading toward the cave entrance together with Tu Qi.

As the distance closed, the heat sensation became increasingly apparent.

The scorching heat was extremely uncomfortable.

"Oh my god, what kind of cave is this, so hot that people might be dehydrated before even entering." Tu Qi, being plump, felt the heat more intensely than others.

He was already sweating profusely before even reaching the entrance, feeling quite overwhelmed.

"Try circulating your spiritual energy to form a protective shield; it might help block the heat." Chen Yang glanced at him and said.

"Okay." Tu Qi immediately tried, circulating his spiritual power to create a protective shield around himself.

Once the shield formed, he immediately felt the temperature drop noticeably.

"Wow, it actually worked."

Tu Qi looked surprised, as if unaware of this method before.

Chen Yang chuckled, then continued focusing all his efforts towards the mountain entrance direction.

Though they started late, their speed was fast.

They were initially behind at least thirty people.

Yet in no time, they already overtook ten or so people; only Wang Yuan and a few strong individuals nearby were ahead of them.

Everyone believed whoever entered first would have the greatest potential to gain the opportunity.

However, Chen Yang wasn’t of the same mind.

This ancient cave surely wouldn’t easily yield opportunities.

It might be fraught with danger.

Striving for opportunities is correct, but one must ensure their own safety before competing for them.

Therefore, Chen Yang didn’t want to fight to be the first to enter the ancient cave.

Instead, he aimed to maintain a close proximity.

Not being first, but not far behind either.

A buffer distance of five to six meters would do.

The actual situation was as he anticipated.

Wang Yuan, at top speed, reached the volcano crater first.

As he looked down and was about to enter, flames suddenly spewed forth from the crater.

The flames were immensely powerful, like a fire dragon lunging towards Wang Yuan.

"Not good!"

Wang Yuan cried out, frightened, and hurriedly turned around.

By lucky chance, he managed to dodge the flame’s attack.

He was alarmingly close to being hit by the flame.

If it had hit him, he would certainly suffer severe injury if not death because the power of the flame was truly overwhelming.

Just looking at it gave a chilling feeling.

Wang Yuan was quite shaken by the ordeal.

Now he dared not act recklessly and took a step back, maintaining his position at the crater without daring to enter.

His slight delay allowed the people behind him to quickly catch up.

With Wang Yuan’s precedent, none dared to move forward easily, gathering around the volcano’s entrance.

Chen Yang arrived as well.

Standing at the crater, looking downwards, it was a world of flames.

Lava flowed within; the formidable flame earlier burned on top of the lava, rising and falling, highly unstable.

"City Lord Wang, where is the entrance? This is obviously just lava!"

Someone, seeing the situation below, became anxious.

They couldn’t see an entrance at all.

Wang Yuan stared at the lava, equally eager!

He was the first to study this place; he had personally witnessed the cave entrance open before, right at the volcano’s mouth.

"The entrance must be here! It’s just some special opening method is required!"

Wang Yuan said.

"Special method?"

The others, upon hearing this, scanned the surroundings trying to find anything unusual.

Wondering whether it might be the way to open the entrance.

While everyone was investigating, a black-cloaked person not belonging to any group suddenly circulated his cultivation technique and then leaped directly into the pit.

"This person is crazy! Below is all lava; he’s courting death!"

Someone was startled upon seeing it!

The others, hearing the commotion, turned around to look.

They all agreed he was seeking his own end.

But as he descended, an unbelievable scene occurred!

For some reason, the flames burning there avoided him, not intending to harm him at all.

What was going on?

Was it luck?

Everyone was puzzled.

Yet even more astonishing was yet to come.

After he safely passed through the flame zone, he immediately touched the flowing lava.

Everyone thought that surely he’d be doomed now.

How could he avoid it—the pit was full of lava?

To everyone’s surprise, upon contacting the lava, he was directly submerged into it.

He wasn’t consumed by the lava; everyone watched as he entered within it.

It seemed the cave’s entrance lay beneath the lava.

Witnessing this, everyone understood.

The flames appeared dangerous but actually wouldn’t attack people.

"Charge!"

Realizing this, everyone jumped down.

Relentlessly, fearlessly risking their lives.

Tu Qi seeing this was ready to jump without hesitation.

Chen Yang suddenly intervened, stopping him.

"Don’t go down."

"Why? Everyone’s jumped down; if we don’t go now it’ll be too late!" Tu Qi was anxious.

The opportunity was right before them; one step behind and they’d miss out.

"The flames below aren’t that simple, don’t rush; let’s observe first." Though Chen Yang wanted to jump, the danger below gave him a strong sense of unease, thus he stopped Tu Qi.

Just as he finished speaking, the first person who jumped down was directly hit by a flame.

Upon being impacted by the flame, he didn’t even have a chance to make a sound before instantly being burned to ashes.

Seeing this, everyone was appalled!

Yet they didn’t seem to mean to stop, thinking that perhaps the person was just unlucky.

However, the next scene sent them all fleeing for their lives.

After that person’s death, the flames below suddenly grew agitated, forming countless individual fire dragons and spraying up toward every person who had jumped into the pit.

"Run quick."

Everyone felt the threat of the flames and frantically turned to escape.
