The Flying Volcano was famous at the Heaven's Eye Region and even at the Devil Sea. It was also known as the Mountain of Flames.
There was almost no vegetation in an area with a radius of thousands of miles. There were only bare rocks and endless flames.
Not only were there horrifying flames, but there were also countless divine patterns and some fire-related demons. For average warriors, this was a hopeless place.
Not even warriors at the peak of the third tribulation dared to go in. In the past, many of them tried to go in and look for treasures but never came back.
They went in to look for treasures because more than 100,000 years ago, there was an old demon living in the Flying Volcano. He was so powerful that even the lord of the Heaven's Eye Region was not a match for him.
Later on, a powerful warrior from the headquarters of the Qi Family came to fight with the old demon. Eventually, the fight ended in a tie. They reached an agreement and the mountain was given to the old demon.
The Flying Volcano wasn't originally like this. It was the old devil who set up countless Divine Runes and triggered the Earth Fire that caused the Flying Volcano to slowly become like this.
The old demon stayed in the Flying Volcano for about 100,000 years. In the end, nobody knew where he went. Maybe he died or maybe he left.
As time went by, the divine patterns on the Flying Volcano were broken. Some brave warriors went in to explore and found some treasures.
Slowly, the news spread, and more and more people entered this place. Many of the Divine Inscriptions here were also destroyed, and countless people died in there.
In the end, two top warriors of the Qi Family came and turned the place upside down. Most of the treasures and materials were taken away.
More people came in. However, since there were no treasures, people could die easily. Gradually, this place became a hopeless place. Nobody dared to go in.
"Flying Volcano?"
In a mountain at the south of the Heaven's Eye Region, Chief Patriarch Mu Wanyun and several patriarchs were standing there. They were upset when they heard the news.
They had thought that Lu Li would keep flying to the north. They didn't expect that he would change direction. After he entered the Heaven's Eye Region, he turned to the east.
They had mobilized many scouts. There were at least tens of thousands of warriors at the south of the Heaven's Eye Region. Lu Li's whereabouts had been tracked.
The problem was that they needed time to open the portal.
By the time they arrived, Lu Li had been flying for six hours. The scouts had to confirm the whereabouts of the three and then send the message, which took several more hours. By the time they got the message, Lu Li had been flying for more than 10 hours.
Of course, his whereabouts had also been confirmed. It was obvious that he was heading for the Flying Volcano.
This was because if he crossed the Flying Volcano, he would be able to reach the Plum Creek Region. Once he entered the Plum Creek Region, he would be like a fish in water, and no one would be able to catch him.
Mu Wanyun took out a map and looked at it. His expression turned solemn as he shook his head and sighed. "Old Liu, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for us to intercept him. If he flew north, we could easily intercept him. But now that he's heading east, we'll have to find the Qi Clan to activate the long-distance teleportation array.
The problem is that it will take some time to communicate with the Qi Family. By the time we activate the long-distance Teleportation Formation, Lu Li would have entered the Flying Volcano. "
The First Elder took a few glances and nodded slightly. "That's right. There's no need to beg. It's meaningless. Let's go straight to Flying Volcano.
That place is so dangerous, it's impossible for him to pass through it alone. If we gather a group of elders to go there, we still have a very high chance of capturing him. "
"Sure!"
Mu Wanyun nodded and said, "To ask for help, you must owe someone a favor. I will send someone to talk to the Qi Family. They must do us a favor. Let's go!"
A group of people flew up. As they flew, Mu Wanyun gave out orders one after another, and those scouts passed on his orders.
Orders were passed down like snowflakes. The Mu Family mobilized twenty or thirty thousand warriors and they all swarmed toward the Flying Volcano.
All the fourth tribulation warriors, including those from the Feng Family and Su Tianchan who had just opened the spatial gate, were sent over.
It was a bit far from the Flying Volcano. Even a fourth tribulation Heaven God would need three or four days to get there at the top of his speed. Average warriors would be slower and it would take six or seven days.
Lu Li was faster on the God Boat so he could get there in a day.
Even though Lu Li had arrived at the Flying Volcano earlier than them, they were not worried. Flying was forbidden in the Flying Volcano. People had to walk. There were many Inhibition Formations and fire-related demons.
Lu Li was capable, but how far could he go?
They believed they could catch up with him easily.
"Report!"
An hour later, a scout came from the front. Mu Wanyun stopped. The scout looked at Chief Patriarch and said, "Chief Patriarch, our Family Patriarch has sent a message. He asks you to follow them from a distance and don't kill Lu Li. He said the Immortal Lady and Lu Li might have reached some agreement. She is not really being held hostage."
"Eh?"
Mu Wanyun was surprised but he covered it up soon. What was the meaning of the Old Patriarch's message?
How could this kidnapping be fake?
This would damage Mu Yingying's reputation.
Mu Yingying represented more than herself. She was the Immortal Lady and she represented the Mu Family.
Lu Li was not only holding the Immortal Lady of the Mu Family hostage, but also the dignity of the Mu Family!
The dignity of a big family was the most important thing. Mu Yingying would not cooperate with Lu Li unless she was out of her mind.
It was not worth it even if Lu Li gave her a piece of Holy Weapon.
Mu Wanyun couldn't figure it out. But he trusted the Old Patriarch. The Old Patriarch had sharp eyes and he was a man of great wisdom.
Years ago, when the Mu Family was almost wiped out, it was the Old Patriarch who supported the Mu Family all by himself and made the Mu Family one of the most powerful forces in the Rakshasa Sea.
"What is it?"
Chief Patriarch asked with confusion. Mu Wanyun shook his head and said, "Nothing. Keep going."
Of course, Mu Wanyun wouldn't tell Chief Patriarch about some things. He would tell him after he caught up with Lu Li.
But this time, after an hour, someone came to send a message. A scout told him that Lu Li and Mu Yingying had arrived at the seaside and Mu Yingying asked someone to send a message to him.
"Don't stop him. When we are at a safe place, he will let me go!"
Mu Wanyun repeated Mu Yingying's message. He was even more surprised. Could it be that the Old Patriarch was right?
Mu Yingying was not being held hostage. She was just putting on a show with Lu Li?
What price did Lu Li offer?
Or could it be that Mu Yingying had fallen in love with Lu Li at first sight?
Was she willing to ruin her own reputation for him?
Mu Wanyun still couldn't figure it out. This time, he thought about it for the time for half an incense stick to burn. Then he called over a scout and said, "Go and send the Family Patriarch's order to all the patriarchs. Tell them to act according to the order.
Also, evacuate most of the scouts and average warriors. They can't contribute to the Flying Volcano anyway. "
Mu Wanyun moved on after a while. This time, Chief Patriarch didn't ask any more questions.
But he felt something was off. It seemed that the Mu Family was not willing to contribute.
