I long to return home!

The overwhelming crimson light emanating from the Blood Halberd enveloped the entire lava cave. Xue Wu swung the Blood Halberd in his hand, the sharp tip slicing through the air, and the crimson light left behind by his swing lingered for a long time.

His eyes were no longer black but blood red that pierced the soul, and a few strands of black hair on his forehead had turned snow-white. The murderous aura emanating from him was impossible to hide.

As it was wielded, the Blood Halberd returned to its original form.

The entire halberd is blood red, with an extremely sharp tip. On both sides of the tip are blood red blades shaped like crescent moons. As it is wielded, the blades extend outwards again, making it seem like a ferocious god in Xue Wu's hands.

Perhaps the emergence of the Blood Halberd broke the seal, as the entire lava cave began to collapse, with lava flowing out of the rock walls and rapidly eroding the ground.

The weapons piled up on the ground in the lava cave emitted a faint light after being eroded by the lava, slowly connecting with the other weapons in a line, like a formation diagram.

A few breaths later, all the weapons in the cave lit up, the formation was activated, and the broken iron chains floated up, binding Xue Wu and his halberd back to the altar.

Flames burned fiercely, and iron chains stretched out, scorching Xue Wu with their fiery heat.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the bound Xue Wu. However, with the lava approaching, there was no time for them to think. They had to rescue Xue Wu and take him away immediately.

Han Sen was overjoyed. This was a golden opportunity right in front of him. As long as he stabbed Xue Wu with his gun, he could kill him. Even if he was no match for Lei Mengying, he could still escape.

Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a long cry came. The purple-winged thunder eagle approached the volcano from the dark clouds. Its broken leg was clearly visible. It was most likely that it had come to seek revenge.

Arriving at this crucial moment only made the already urgent matter even more urgent.

"Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle!"

Han Sen exclaimed in surprise, his previous plans shattered at this moment. But then he thought about it again and realized that it might not be such a bad thing. He then sneered a few times and said, "You can just wait here to die. I look forward to fighting you again next time." With that, he took out a teleportation jade slip from his storage bag, crushed it on the spot, and left Hundred Weapons Valley.

Although everyone was furious, they couldn't think too much about it. Their top priority was to rescue Xue Wu and escape from this place.

"You guys figure out a way to save him, I'll go and kill that Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle." Lei Mengying slowly walked out of the cut-open cave, looked at the approaching Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle, her body was surrounded by purple lightning, her face showed a cold light, she swung her sword and slashed, streaks of purple light pierced through the clouds and poured out like thunder.

Having learned from past mistakes, the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle was not about to be foolish enough to take the blow. It unleashed its full power right from the start, letting out a roar and deflecting the attack with a thunderous roar. Then, it unleashed its Purple Thunder Wings, releasing countless bolts of lightning that shattered the volcano into pieces with devastating force.

Inside the cave, Xu Tao and his group tried to rescue Xue Wu, but as soon as they stepped onto the altar, they were blocked by runes and unable to move forward.

Xue Wu struggled to break free of the fire chains, howling in agony. Even with the protection of pure fire, he was still tormented by the karmic fire. He shook violently, unwilling to give up. Black energy resurfaced within him, gathering in his arms. With a startled roar, most of the iron chains snapped inch by inch, turning into blood talismans that surged into his body.

The breaking of the iron chains caused the entire Fire Domain to crack, and suddenly fire beasts rushed towards the volcano from all directions, each with a fierce expression as if summoned to stop the birth of a malevolent god.

"Are you all ready? A large number of fire beasts are approaching this way. If we don't hurry, we'll all perish here!" Lei Mengying exclaimed, wielding her Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade to attack the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle while simultaneously slashing down the mountain to try and stop the fire beasts from invading.

At that moment, Mo Kun not only didn't help, but did something unbelievable. He quietly came behind Lei Mengying and crushed the teleportation jade slip: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I must ensure your safety." After saying that, he turned into a blue light and left Hundred Weapons Valley, and the remaining soldiers followed suit.

Xue Wu and his group were left alone in the entire cave, struggling desperately.

Xu Tao swung his longsword at the barrier, but it didn't budge. Gu Qingcheng and Jin Lingjiao were also anxious and didn't know what to do.

"Break for me!" Xue Wu roared, and the binding iron chains exploded, transforming back into blood runes that entered his body.

The entire torso glowed with a blood-red light, strange runes appeared, the barrier that had been trapping it shattered once more, and the entire volcano, now free, began to collapse. Just then, countless fire beasts rushed towards the cave entrance. Xue Wu swung his arm, and the Blood Halberd, as if possessing a spirit, went up to harvest them, slaying the approaching fire beasts as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Let's get going without delay," Xue Wu said calmly, taking back the Blood Halberd.

Everyone responded happily and took out teleportation jade slips from their storage bags. They crushed the slips together with Xue Wu, and beams of blue light enveloped them. Xue Wu was also enveloped by the blue light, but the blue light shattered in an instant, and the teleportation failed. Before they could even be shocked, the blue light dissipated and they left Hundred Weapons Valley.

Xue Wu is now the only one left in the valley, and he also has to face tens of thousands of fire beasts and purple-winged thunder eagles.

"Why?!!!"

"Why did the teleportation fail?!" Xue Wu stared blankly at the broken jade slip that hadn't been teleported away, his face as still as death. Before he could even break down, the attack from the fire beast and the purple-winged thunder eagle had already begun.

...

Luoyun Sect Square.

Before Xu Tao could recover from the shock, he opened his eyes again and found himself inside the sect. He remembered looking around but never seeing Xue Wu, only Gu Qingcheng and Jin Lingjiao, who were equally unaware of the reason.

The entire square was filled with disciples who had come out to spread the news. From their noisy discussions, they learned that an earthquake had occurred in the Hundred Weapons Valley. Except for the Fire Domain, other areas had begun to collapse, so they had no choice but to spread the news.

"Brother Xu, you're out. How was your haul? I heard there was a collapse inside?" Su Changfeng walked over and asked cheerfully. He looked around and it seemed someone was missing. He then asked in confusion, "Where's Junior Brother Xue? Where is he?" As he spoke, he suddenly paused, looking at Xu Tao and the others' panicked expressions with some unease.

"Taozi, is Wuzi someone else?" Lin Mubai asked, appearing in front of Xu Tao.

"Master, why did the teleportation fail even though Xue Wu crushed the jade slip?" Jin Lingjiao cried out, throwing herself onto Lin Mubai.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mubai was struck dumb, his face darkening instantly. As if he had misheard, he asked Xu Tao, "What do you mean the teleportation jade slip is broken and didn't transmit?"

At this moment, Xu Tao was completely overwhelmed with grief and could not speak.

"Elder Lin, it's like this..." Gu Qingcheng recounted the events in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, including being surrounded by the Fire Beasts, but she omitted the fact that Xue Wu was absorbing the malevolent energy. If this were to get out, it would undoubtedly cause trouble.

"What?!" Su Yifeng exclaimed in disbelief, jumping down from the stands to inquire about the reason.

Mo Yuchen and Ye Yingfeng jumped down one after the other and carefully inquired about the cause of the matter. Only Liu Yusheng looked angry. His Yin Peak disciples had died the most on this trip, and Li Yunfei had left early, which was really embarrassing.

Huang Jun, standing in the stands, couldn't hide his smile despite his lowered face. Hearing Gu Qingcheng's explanation, he knew Xue Wu was doomed this time.
