Chapter 38 The Mutiny at the Flame Cave

Three days later, on the outskirts of Flame City, at Flame Cave.

The heads of the four major families of Flame City, along with a group of people, gathered at the entrance of the Flame Cave.

The area was already surrounded by onlookers.

The Flame Cave is sealed by four families. To open it, the heads of all four families must open the seals simultaneously. The Flame Cave is only opened once a year.

The three people who can enter the Flame Cave this year are Leng Yun, Zhang Qingyang, and Wang Jiu.

The Liu family had no chance to enter the Flame Cave this time, and the Liu family head looked very unhappy. However, this was the rule, and although he was very unwilling, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to cooperate.

The onlookers were all eager to see who would enter the cave and obtain the best treasure.

If someone were to obtain high-level cultivation techniques and divine artifacts, it would be enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire Flame City.

Just like when the Leng family obtained the Xuan-level 4 cultivation technique, the entire Flame City discussed it for a full six months.

Therefore, the popularity of exploring the Flame Cave is no less than that of the four-player competition itself.

As they were talking, the time was up.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the four family heads walked to the entrance of the Flame Cave.

The Flame Cave is located on a mountainside, surrounded by green trees, with a dark cave entrance standing out abruptly.

If you look closely around the cave entrance, you can see a four-colored energy wall that faintly ripples in the air, completely surrounding the entire Flame Cave.

In addition to sealing it, the four major families also send heavy troops to guard this place, with elite soldiers on both sides on high alert.

The four family heads simultaneously raised their hands, and four different colored fist energies flew out, striking the energy wall of the Flame Cave.

Then, the energy wall gradually shattered, eventually turning into wisps of smoke and dissipating into the air.

"You have one hour. You can take whatever you want from inside. Go in now," Leng Wuyi said, glancing coldly at Leng Yun.

Leng Yun was the champion of this year's competition, so he was the first to enter the Flame Cave. Five minutes later, Wang Jiu went in, followed by Zhang Qingyang.

The Flame Cave was pitch black, and as soon as Leng Yun stepped inside, the noisy sounds outside disappeared.

He didn't need a torch; he could simply summon a flame in his palm to illuminate the entire Flame Cave.

The further you go into the Flame Cave, the higher the temperature becomes, because legend has it that there is a huge pool of flaming lava at the center of the Flame Cave, hence the name Flame Cave.

In the center of the lava pool is a small island, where it is said that one can find extraordinary treasures, but even the Grand Elder has never been able to find that place.

An hour seems impossible to explore the entire Flame Cave. There are numerous side quests and it's incredibly complex. Where you go is entirely up to you, so what you get is all a matter of chance.

After walking for about ten minutes, Leng Yun had already covered a considerable distance.

He turned a corner and suddenly spotted a burning flame on the cave wall. This was common in the Flame Cave, where such solitary fires could be seen everywhere due to the high temperature, and had been burning for centuries.

Beside the flames, there appeared to be a sword lying there.

"We've finally found the treasure!" Leng Yun was very excited when he saw the treasure as he entered the Flame Cave for the first time.

Although the treasure was only a rank 3 sword, Leng Yun didn't care, because it could be converted into experience points.

His purpose in coming here was to convert items into experience points, so even if he didn't get anything in the end, it would still be a very profitable deal.

Even before entering the cave, Leng Yun had hoped to level up two levels in the Flame Cave.

As the cold clouds deepened, more and more treasures appeared on the ground, almost every few steps.

However, these were all low-grade treasures and cultivation techniques, which Leng Yun directly converted into experience points.

You are not allowed to bring storage rings into the Flame Cave; you can only carry things out with your bare hands. So even if your hands are very large, the amount of things you can carry out is very limited.

Therefore, ordinary people are very cautious when they come in, and they skip over the inconspicuous things in order to get some good treasures.

Leng Yun was different; he accepted everything and integrated whatever came his way, and his experience points were increasing at a considerable rate.

Leng Yun was unaware that Wang Jiu and Zhang Qingyang were quickly chasing after him. They didn't even glance at the treasures around them, as if they had other tasks to complete.

Meanwhile, the situation outside the cave was also somewhat strange.

The army outside the Flame Cave seemed to be much larger than usual, and they were all from the Leng, Wang, and Zhang families.

"What do you mean by this?" The head of the Liu family was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the other three families to send reinforcements, and now it was too late to bring his own troops.

Leng Wuyi didn't speak, but just snorted coldly. At this moment, a servant of the Leng family secretly ran to Leng Wuyi's side.

"Master, the First Elder has already gone into seclusion, the Seventh Elder is also not here, and the Second Elder said we can proceed," the servant whispered.

Leng nodded without hesitation: "Go back and tell the Second Elder to take action!"

The servants quietly retreated, and Leng Wuyi waved his hand. The three armies that were already prepared marched into the Flame Cave together!

The onlookers were also astonished. An army was going to enter the Flame Cave. Was the entire Flame City about to change?

"An intruder has been discovered in the Flame Cave, so we need to go inside to investigate. There's no need for you to worry!" Leng Wuyi explained.

But who would believe such an explanation? Everyone knows that this was something the three families had planned long ago.

In contrast, the three armies paid no attention to any of this and went straight into the Flame Cave. Their only goal was to kill Leng Yun.

Moreover, they can freely take the treasures in the Flame Cave, which is a considerable temptation for these people.

"What's going on! What are you doing!" the Liu family patriarch exclaimed. "How dare you enter here without permission!"

“The Flame Cave is jointly owned by the four of us. Now that three of us have agreed to enter, what’s wrong with that?” Leng Wuyi snorted.

Only then did the Liu family patriarch realize that the other three families had long been in cahoots. He snorted, flicked his sleeves, and left the area. He needed to hurry back home to make preparations. If he wasn't careful, not only would the Liu family not get a share of the Flame Cave, but they might also be wiped out by the other three families.

Inside the Flame Cave, Wang Jiu and Zhang Qingyang were already standing in front of Leng Yun.

At this moment, Leng Yun had already seen through the two men's intentions: "What, you want to kill me?"

Wang Jiu snorted coldly: "You're not too stupid."

"Leng Yun, you've made me lose all face. You should die today!" Zhang Qingyang said fiercely.
