Chapter 1348 Purgatory

Zhou Ran and Qianxun rushed all the way to Yunzong City.

There is no city-state here long ago, only a fire-spewing volcano exists, lava is everywhere, covering the surrounding forest.

The originally prosperous Yunzong City suddenly became a purgatory on earth.

The forest was destroyed, the birds and animals were scattered, and the surrounding area was desolate.

Zhou Ran and Qianxun watched from afar, not daring to get close for the time being.

According to the heart of the black tree, the flames emitted by the volcano are the holy fire of the temple. The holy fire is different from other flames and may cause harm to the strong.

"The place where we fought with Wusetang has turned into this! It's unbelievable, it's like a doomsday scene! The prosperous Yunzong City has turned into a barren land!"

Chihiro couldn't help but lament that she was helpless against this volcano.

If Zhou Ran hadn't come, he wouldn't have followed. After arriving, Qianxun didn't know what Zhou Ran was going to do.

"Zhou Ran, what are we going to do? Is there anything in this volcano? Or what will Li Xiong, who is sealed under the volcano, do?"

Qianxun asked curiously, but Zhou Ran didn't say a word.

There are some things that Zhou Ran himself is not clear about. The current clues are that apart from knowing that this volcano is made of holy fire, there is no other information.

As for what will happen near the volcano, I don't know.

"Strange, why is it so quiet around here?"

Zhou Ran couldn't help but murmur, because Yunzong City turned into a volcano, many people from the sect forces in the Immortal Realm came to stop and watch, but now, not a single person could be seen around the volcano. Could it be that something happened here?

"It's just a volcano. There's nothing interesting to see. Everyone's interest has faded and they naturally stopped coming after they found it boring."

Qianxun forced to explain, but Zhou Ran shook his head.

"The elders of the temple are sealed under the volcano. Big things will happen next. No matter how you look at it, this is an interesting thing. It cannot become boring! There is no one around, maybe it is because of something special. s reason."

Zhou Ran said lightly, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

If his words were unlucky, I'm afraid this place would not be peaceful. When that time comes, I must take Qianxun and escape safely.

Zhou Ran took a deep breath. Since the volcano is made of holy fire, the surrounding atmosphere should be different.

After the air entered his nose, Zhou Ran also noticed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the spiritual energy hit his nose, and there was also a burst of fire, but the so-called holy fire seemed to be no different from ordinary flames, which was completely different from the information he got from the Heart of the Black Tree.

"Is this really an ordinary flame?"

Zhou Ran smiled bitterly. The heart of the black tree wanted to make him the carrier of turbid breath, so he wouldn't deceive himself, right?

On second thought, this matter is also quite strange.

The long-lost holy fire was finally rekindled under Mrs. Qu's conspiracy, but why wasn't there half a temple guard around?

Is it possible that the Holy Fire is not an important sacred object at all?

Doubts filled his mind, making Zhou Ran unable to think.

"Zhou Ran, what are you thinking about?" Qianxun saw Zhou Ran's confusion and asked with concern.

"It's okay, let's take a closer look."

Zhou Ran smiled faintly and brought Qianxun closer.

The surrounding air became extremely hot, which was reasonable. After all, it was a volcano and it was impossible to create a spring-like environment.

As powerful immortals, both Zhou Ran and Qianxun ignored the high temperature. All they cared about was the secrets in the volcano.

Unknowingly, the two of them had arrived at the crater. In addition to the lava that was constantly ejecting, there was also billowing smoke in the crater. The thick smoke blurred the surrounding vision.

"Qianxun, don't get caught in the lava."

Zhou Ran warned that fortunately, although the volcano continued to erupt, the intensity of the ejection was not strong, just like the saliva flowing out in sleep, and would not affect the people around him.

So close,

Zhou Ran could clearly see the composition of the lava, which was no different from other volcanoes.

It seemed that the Holy Fire was just that, nothing unusual at all.

"Zhou Ran, is there anything special here? Why do I feel insignificant? There are many more dangerous places in the Immortal World than here. This volcano is nothing at all."

Qianxun was not interested, but Zhou Ran shook his head.

"It's precisely because it looks ordinary that it appears extraordinary!" Zhou Ran explained, "You know, this place has sealed the elders of the temple. Why can't we notice Li Xiong's power at all? Could it be that he was eaten by a volcano? I don’t think this elder has any response and is willing to become a sacrifice in the temple.”

"But isn't Li Xiong gone?"

Qianxun also looked puzzled. What Zhou Ran said was indeed strange, but there was nothing strange about it.

This was just a conspiracy between the temple elders. It was reasonable for Li Xiong to lose and be swallowed by the volcano.

"Do you still remember what your grandfather said?" Zhou Ran asked again.

"Remember, grandpa said there is a ritual here. Once successful, Mrs. Qu will achieve her goal."

Qianxun said silently, although these were her grandfather's exact words, she felt that Mrs. Qu's plan had been successful and she had benefited from the volcano.

The volcano left now is just an ordinary natural phenomenon.

"I want to think so, but reality tells me otherwise!" Zhou Ran's mouth curled up slightly, he had noticed something. "Qianxun, I seem to have found the reason why there is no one around!"

As soon as the voice fell, a figure jumped out.

It was a fierce man who rushed towards Zhou Ran and Qianxun without knowing the truth.

Zhou Ran knew that the man was powerful, so he protected Qianxun behind him and used the Jade Blood Sword to resist the man's attack.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Zhou Ran was knocked back dozens of meters and almost fell into the lava.

Qianxun was pushed away by Zhou Ran at the critical moment, and she looked worried.

"Zhou Ran, are you okay?" Qianxun asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

Zhou Ran smiled and came to the man again.

It can be seen that the man did not want to fight with him. His behavior just now was just to drive him and Qianxun away.

But Zhou Ran did not mean to leave. He looked straight at the man.

"Who are you? Why are you driving away all the people who come to this volcano?"

Although he didn't see it himself, Zhou Ran had already guessed why there was no one around the volcano.

The man was not surprised, but said disdainfully: "Zhou Ran, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to ask me? I order you to leave here, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"
