After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

The crater was filled with clanging and clattering sounds for a moment, without a single pause.

After an unknown amount of time, while everyone was focused on digging out the lava rocks, someone was rapidly approaching from outside the crater, or more accurately, being chased and fleeing in this direction.

The man in black robes followed leisurely behind the blood-soaked figure, watching the disheveled man with a mocking, cat-and-mouse gaze, constantly taunting him: "Haha, why don't you run faster! When I catch up with you, see how I deal with you, hehehe..."

Meanwhile, Lu Qiu, who was heavily injured ahead, was already exhausted, but he did not stop because of the words of the man in black robes.

Instead, he gritted his teeth, ignoring the waves of pain in his body and the taste of blood rising in his throat, and continued to move forward with all his might.

He knew he couldn't be captured by the man in black robes, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this critical moment of life and death, Lu Qiu had only one thought in his mind—to survive!

Meanwhile, the man in black robes didn't seem to be in a hurry to end the chase. He was enjoying the thrill of controlling other people's fates and had already devised dozens of ways to torture people, which he planned to implement one by one after catching up with Lu Qiu.

No matter how hard Lu Qiu tried, he was eventually caught up with near the crater.

"Oh dear, the game's over. Why bother? If you'd just come with me, you wouldn't have suffered so much." As he spoke, his eyes grew increasingly fierce, and his right hand gathered spiritual power tinged with evil, preparing to knock the person in front of him unconscious and take him away.

Lu Qiu, who was opposite him, knew that he had reached a dead end, but he still sneered: "Enough with the nonsense!" He would rather die than let this evil cultivator get what he wanted.

"Ha, at the end of its rope!" the black-robed man scoffed, unleashing a burst of spiritual energy.

Lu Qiu quickly took out his last defensive shield to defend himself. His spiritual power struck the shield, and the energy fluctuations generated a powerful thrust. Taking advantage of this thrust, Lu Qiu used all the spiritual power he had left to pour into his feet and jumped straight towards the crater.

He would rather be burned to death by lava than let this evil cultivator succeed. His family has a secret method that allows them to see what happens before death, and his family members will definitely avenge him once they find out.

The man in black robes was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, but then he felt a surge of resentment towards Lu Qiu.

There was no time to think about anything else; he could only quickly leap over and try to pull Lu Qiu back. He hadn't gotten what he wanted yet, and he couldn't let his efforts go to waste.

The moment Lu Qiu's body entered the crater, Chi Yi, who was digging in the lava rocks, suddenly looked up, her divine sense, which was spreading throughout the volcano, was activated.

"Someone's coming!" Chi Yi called out to warn them.

Hua Rongyi, Kong Bai, Ling Lili, Yun Fan, Bai Shu, and Jin Haoyu immediately stopped what they were doing and looked up without any doubt.

Meanwhile, Shi Xi and his fellow disciples were still digging in the lava rocks. It wasn't that they hadn't heard anything, but rather that they couldn't believe that even their senior brother, who was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, hadn't noticed anyone, yet Chi Yi, whose cultivation was one level lower than theirs, could.

But the reality check often comes very quickly.

When Shi Xi finally sensed someone, Yun Fan on the other side had already leaped up and caught the person who was covered in blood and falling rapidly.

Because Yunfan knew this person, and similarly, Lu Qiu recognized Yunfan the moment he was caught by him. At that moment, Lu Qiu knew that he had escaped from a desperate situation.
