At this moment, the black, evil flames had already spread to Mo Guang's feet.

Mo Guang calmly lowered his body and casually tugged at the black karmic flames with a raised finger. That patch of black flames became sticky, as if alive, and he drew it into his hand.

He casually played with it for a moment, then flicked his hand and threw it back into the huge furnace.

The You Slave was taken aback by this, then bowed to Mo Guang to express his apology, and then whipped the neck of the Wozing clansman who had made the mistake.

The Wozing clansman's face was already ashen, but with this lash, pain immediately appeared on his face, and he struggled incessantly.

The Wozing clansman who had brought Han Li and the others down, though with an expression of pity in his eyes, stood with his hands hanging down, a look of sorrow on his face, and dared not plead for mercy.

"Enough, quickly bring the finished product over here," Bai Li Yan said, waving his hand dismissively.

The You Slave's expression remained unchanged on his indifferent face, but he retracted the whip that was strangling the Wozing clansman.

The Wozing clansman was granted amnesty and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, thanking him profusely.

The guiding Wozing clansman also hurriedly brought over the dozen or so Karma Fire Fiend Thunders that had already been refined.

Bai Li Yan picked up one and glanced at it, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes, and he transmitted a message to Han Li, saying:

"There seems to be some fire attribute law power within this Fiend Thunder."

"It may be related to the two Immortal World people they mentioned earlier. Perhaps the reason this Fiend Thunder is so powerful is because it has fused two opposing and extreme flame powers. You should put these away first," Han Li replied.

"Should we go see the two prisoners?" Bai Li Yan transmitted again.

"It's best to go to the Karma Fire Pit first and see if we can reach the Soul Cleansing Area. Let's not create any unnecessary troubles," Han Li replied after a moment's thought.

"Now that we're here, we should inspect the Karma Fire Pit, right?" Bai Li Yan turned his hand and stored all the dozen or so Karma Fire Fiend Thunders, pretending to say to Mo Guang.

"Indeed, since we're here, let's just take a trip," Mo Guang said, nodding.

"My lord, this way please," the You Slave said, immediately flying over.

With that, he led Mo Guang and the others out of the hall and continued forward along the tunnel.

As he was leaving the hall, Han Li glanced back at the Wozing clansmen who were still working hard, and saw a trace of resentment flashing in the eyes of the one who had led the way. But when he saw Han Li looking at him, he immediately became terrified.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged, and he turned his head and left.

The Wozing clansman breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and then stood there in a daze, a look of incomprehension in his eyes.

The tunnel continued to extend forward. After traveling about ten miles, they finally arrived at a vast underground vault.

Han Li and the others looked ahead and saw a huge black fire pool, as large as an ordinary lake, filled with rolling black flames and raging fiendish aura, making it difficult to breathe.

The tunnel beneath their feet gradually narrowed as it entered the fire pool, turning into a broken bridge that extended a few feet wide, all the way to the center of the fire pool.

Across the fire pool was a dark rock wall, and visible above it was a huge cave dozens of feet high. The raging Karma Fire flowed out of the cave and poured into the black fire pool below.

"Fellow Daoist Li, just as you guessed, the Karma Fire of the Luo Sheng Area is drawn from the Soul Cleansing Area," Shi Chuan Kong said via voice transmission.

"Don't be so happy yet, we need to hurry. The denser the fiendish aura, the faster the spiritual energy within the Jade Cloud Fox Tail will be consumed. It's about to reveal its true form," Hu San also suddenly transmitted.

Han Li was about to speak when his gaze suddenly jumped.

Standing on the bridge ahead were a dozen armored You Slaves, all tightly gripping their weapons, their expressions indifferent, facing each other, completely ignoring them, as if they didn't see them at all.

Hanging under the end of the extending bridge was a square black iron cage, swaying above the Karma Fire, constantly subjected to the flames and fiendish aura.

Inside the iron cage were two figures, each leaning against a corner, their hair disheveled, looking listless.

Han Li fixed his gaze and saw that the person on the left side of the cage was quite tall, his fiery red hair messily covering his cheeks, with only a dark, coarse, and hard nose protruding out, like a rhinoceros horn.

The person leaning against the other corner of the cage, in contrast, had snow-white hair and many scars and bloodstains on his face, making it difficult to see clearly. But Han Li recognized him at a glance - it was none other than Fiery Heat Immortal!

A thought stirred in his heart, but he made no extra movements.

"Those two... they seem to be Chi Rong and Fellow Daoist Fiery Heat?" At this time, Hu San had also recognized them and couldn't help but transmit his thoughts.

"It's them. It looks like their luck is worse than ours. They actually fell into the hands of the Nine Nether Race," Shi Chuan Kong replied, somewhat surprised.

"What, are they acquaintances? Should we rescue them?" Bai Li Yan asked, confused, as he didn't recognize them.

Han Li frowned tightly, his gaze shifting over Fiery Heat Immortal for a moment, before replying, "They've been placed under restrictions, and it'll be difficult to break them for a while. Let's find the Fiend Cleansing Pool first, and we can talk about saving people when we come back."

"Act now?" Mo Guang asked.

"Act," Han Li replied via voice transmission.

As soon as the order was given, Mo Guang, who was standing at the front, grinned and raised his hand. Rolling black mist immediately surged out from his robe, like five ferocious black dragons pouncing out, strangling the guiding You Slave.

"My lord, what are you..." Before the latter could finish his sentence, the thick fiendish aura had already swallowed him up.

At the same time, a large amount of pitch-black mist poured out, directly submerging the entire bridge. The dozen or so You Slaves on the bridge didn't have time to react before being submerged by the sudden fiendish aura.

Bai Li Yan's figure had already flashed and disappeared, disappearing into the fiendish aura. Only muffled sounds could be heard in the chaos.

Mo Guang raised his hand and grabbed the guiding You Slave, holding him in the air.

After only a few breaths, the rolling fiendish aura swept back and returned to Mo Guang. The You Slave, however, had been drained of blood and become as thin as skin and bones, falling down.

The Karma Fire below churned violently, instantly swallowing the You Slave's corpse.

On the bridge, Bai Li Yan was also kicking the corpses of the dozen or so You Slaves into the Karma Fire Pit one by one.

Once everything was cleaned up, the group no longer floated in the air, and after stepping on solid ground, they removed the Jade Cloud Fox Tails and returned them to Hu San.

"Let's go," Han Li said, glancing at them.

The group glanced back at the tunnel and quickly walked onto the bridge, heading towards the end.

On the way, as they passed the square iron cage, Han Li hesitated slightly, glanced down, and quickly walked past.

Fiery Heat Immortal inside the iron cage seemed completely unaware of the changes happening above. He didn't react at all. The eyes under his disheveled hair had become quite dim, with none of their former brilliance.

"Aren't you guys with my senior brother? Why... aren't you saving him?" Chi Rong, on the other hand, suddenly looked up and cackled.

Hu San frowned upon hearing this and slowed his pace.

"Time is of the essence. We'll talk about it when we come back," Shi Chuan Kong said softly as he passed by him.

Hu San nodded upon hearing this and quickly caught up.

Arriving at the end of the bridge, the heat of the Karma Fire became even more scorching, and the rolling fiendish aura was rampant. Even Han Li found it difficult to endure. Shi Chuan Kong and Hu San felt their minds starting to become dizzy, and waves of ferocity began to surge in their hearts.

Han Li's eyes narrowed, and he secretly activated the Refinement Art, raising his hand and pointing at the center of his brow. A white light lit up.

After the words "Jade Peak Spirit Suppression Talisman" appeared, a powerful spiritual force enveloped them.

"Quick! Merge your spiritual force into the talisman, protect your physical bodies, and we'll set off," Han Li said.

Upon hearing this, everyone used their means to protect themselves.

Bai Li Yan waved his hand, and a pitch-black armor made of dragon scales appeared on his body. Red scale patterns covered it, and runes lit up on his chest and back, indicating that it was a rare Immortal Artifact.

Hu San opened his mouth and spat out a dark green dragon pearl, which he embedded into the crown on his head.

Both items were magical treasures. When combined, they emitted a dazzling green light, enveloping his entire body and turning his skin emerald green.

On the other side, Shi Chuan Kong summoned the silver pipa and lightly pressed the strings. Waves of invisible fluctuations emanated, forming a layer of space barrier to protect him.

Mo Guang glanced at the Karma Fire ahead, curled his lips, and didn't do anything.

Han Li's mind stirred, and golden scales flipped over his body, and a dark green Xuan Turtle Armor appeared.

The others, seeing this, tensed up and began to release their spiritual force into the Jade Peak Spirit Suppression Talisman.

As layers of spiritual force merged, the talisman's markings on Han Li's brow became clearer, and a dozen-foot-tall snow peak phantom emerged, enveloping them all.

Hu San and Shi Chuan Kong's brows relaxed, and the discomfort they had felt before instantly melted away.

"Don't relax, Karma Fire is more dangerous than the fiendish aura. Once your mind is lost, it'll be troublesome," Han Li reminded them, noticing that the two of them had relaxed a little.

Shi Chuan Kong and the others nodded quickly, not daring to be distracted.

"Go."

With Han Li's command, the group rose together, leapt off the bridge, and headed straight for the Karma Fire passage.

As a result, as soon as they flew off the bridge, the flames ahead trembled, making a series of rumbling sounds.

"Crap, there are restrictions under the fire pool," Han Li exclaimed.

As soon as his voice fell, the Karma Fire below seemed to boil, and black fireballs the size of millstones constantly rushed up, slamming towards Han Li and the others. The air was filled with smoke and miasma, making it difficult to breathe.
