The insect cloud rapidly approached, and when it passed above Su Anqian and the others, it suddenly stopped and began to circle incessantly.

Seeing this, the hearts of everyone enveloped in the yellow mist were greatly shocked, and all their hearts were in their throats. Even Han Li couldn't help but frown slightly.

Fortunately, after circling for a while, the insect cloud suddenly split apart, transforming into several smaller swarms, flying in different directions.

Some volcanic lava sprayed into the insect swarms. The swarms seemed to bathe in a spring breeze, emitting squeaking cheers, and quickly disappeared into the distant horizon.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the source of those Fire Age Fireflies is deep within this volcanic region. That's right, although the Flame of Years on these insects contains the Law of Time, it can also be considered a kind of fire-attribute spirit insect, which prefers this kind of scorching environment," Jin Liu said.

"Let's go, let's go inside and take a look," Su Anqian said, and then took the lead to fly inside.

When the others heard this, they followed one after another. Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master frowned slightly and followed as well.

The group flew forward for a little over half an hour, and two enormous peaks, piercing into the clouds, appeared in front of them, with a valley in between.

The valley was filled with swarms of Fire Age Fireflies, covering the sky and the sun.

Compared to the insect swarms encountered earlier, these were nothing.

Numerous small holes appeared on the stone walls of the two peaks, like a honeycomb, and countless Fire Age Fireflies were moving in and out of the holes. The two peaks resembled two giant beehives.

And in the depths of the valley, there was a black cave, dark and bottomless.

The cave was filled with a special energy, like a restriction. Divine Sense could not penetrate too deeply, but one could still feel waves of intense Law of Time emanating from within, with traces of spatial fluctuations mixed in.

The group hid behind a distant low hill, using methods to conceal their tracks.

"It seems that there are treasures containing the power of the Law of Time in this cave, and quite a few of them, it seems we didn't come here in vain. And this spatial fluctuation is very similar to the previous Space Gate. It seems the spatial entrance to the third level is also inside," Su Anqian said, looking at the distant twin peaks, with some excitement.

Han Li looked at the distant valley, and his heart was also somewhat eager to try.

Although his cultivation is high now, he felt that he had too few Law of Time crystal threads in his body, otherwise, he would not have been so passive in the previous battle with Qimozi. If he could obtain some treasures containing the power of time and refine them, it would be of great benefit to him.

However, Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master and the others clearly showed a sign of retreating when they saw so many Fire Age Fireflies.

"Pavilion Master Yan doesn't need to worry, I have a way to deal with these Fire Age Fireflies," Su Anqian said when she saw the retreat in the eyes of Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master and the others.

"Fairy Su and the others are skilled and bold, perhaps you have a way to break through so many Fire Age Fireflies, but my Ink Fragrance Pavilion is just a small sect with limited abilities. This move is too dangerous for us. Fairy Su, Fellow Daoist Jin, please forgive my Ink Fragrance Pavilion for not being able to accompany you any further," Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master was silent for a moment, and shook his head firmly.

There are many treasures in this volcanic region. The group had only searched a small area along the way, and a large area had not been explored. Instead of risking breaking into the Fire Age Fireflies' nest, it would be better to search for treasures in the volcanic region.

Although those fire-attribute spiritual materials are not as precious as the Law of Time materials in the cave, at least they are much safer.

Su Anqian and Jin Liu frowned when they heard this, and were about to say something.

"Fellow Daoists, I, Ba, also do not have the confidence to break through here, so I have to say goodbye as well. I wish you both good luck," the hunchbacked old man suddenly said, cupped his hands slightly to Su Anqian and the others, and walked to Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master's side.

With them taking the lead, the others immediately stirred, and people came out one after another. A full twenty people stood beside Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master and the hunchbacked old man.

Only the three of the Celestial Water Sect, Han Li, the Valley Master of Green Ropes Valley, the bearded man, and seven or eight other loose immortal Jins were left in place, a total of only a dozen people.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be figures with some influence in the outside world, how could you retreat immediately when you encounter a little difficulty?" Jin Liu said with an ugly face, sneering.

Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master and the others did not retort, allowing Jin Liu to mock them. After nodding slightly, they turned around and were about to leave.

Han Li stood aside, watching coldly.

Although Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master and the others retreated at this moment, giving people a sense of timidity, it was not without a way to protect themselves wisely.

There are a large number of Fire Age Fireflies in front. The risk of breaking through is not small. If he hadn't cultivated the Law of Time and kept his trump cards, he wouldn't have chosen to take this risk.

"Fellow Daoists, please stay." A blue light blocked the crowd, revealing Su Anqian's figure.

"Fellow Daoist Su, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to force us to stay?" Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master's face sank and frowned.

The others also showed displeasure.

"Fellow Daoists, you have misunderstood. Everyone has their own ambitions. If you want to leave, I will naturally not force you. But before that, I have something I want to ask you to help with," Su Anqian said calmly.

"What is it? Fairy Su, please tell us first," Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master asked, his face softening.

"As Pavilion Master Yan said, there are many Fire Age Fireflies here, and it is difficult to sneak into the cave, so I would like to ask you to help us divert some of the Fire Age Fireflies here when you leave," Su Anqian said with a slight smile.

"Let us show ourselves to divert the Fire Age Fireflies? This is tantamount to playing with fire and burning ourselves. Fairy Su, aren't you joking!" The hunchbacked old man sneered.

"You don't need to worry, I have several Flying Shadow Talismans here, which can increase the escape speed by at least 30% in a short period of time, and help to cover up your aura. You can definitely escape the pursuit of the Fire Age Fireflies," Su Anqian flipped her hand and took out five cyan talismans, with complex spirit patterns in the shape of wind and clouds inscribed on them, exuding traces of intense wind-attribute Law fluctuations.

The hunchbacked old man raised his white eyebrows, but he didn't say anything and still stood there.

"Of course, I won't let you do this for nothing. These few immortal artifacts are my treasured possessions. Anyone willing to help can choose one," Su Anqian waved her hand again, and five or six immortal artifacts such as alms bowls and jade rulers appeared in front of her, all of which were water-attribute, exuding strong Law fluctuations, and their grades were obviously not low.

"Since Fairy Su is so sincere, we are naturally willing to help. I wonder what exactly Fairy Su wants us to do?" The hunchbacked old man asked, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand to absorb a water-blue alms bowl immortal artifact and a Flying Shadow Talisman.

Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master and others also looked somewhat tempted.

"I have five Blood Cloud Beads here. After they explode, they can erupt into a large area of ​​blood clouds. The Fire Age Fireflies are sensitive to the power of blood. If they are detonated one after another, they should be able to attract away most of the Fire Age Fireflies in the valley. I need five Fellow Daoists to help," Su Anqian waved her jade hand, and a flash of blood light appeared in her palm, revealing five blood-colored round beads the size of eggs, with a crystal blood light flashing on the surface.

Han Li looked at the blood-colored round beads, and his eyes flickered.

The round beads contained extremely rich blood power and a trace of the Law of Blood. It was a kind of blood thunder-like thing.

"Fairy Su is thoughtful. These Blood Cloud Beads are indeed the best thing to lure away the Fire Age Fireflies. Leave this to me, and I will definitely handle it properly for you," The hunchbacked old man took a Blood Cloud Bead and patted his chest to guarantee, his attitude was completely opposite to his previous coldness.

Seeing the hunchbacked old man being so obsequious, the others were a little contemptuous.

After a little pondering, Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master stepped forward and took a Blood Cloud Bead, an immortal artifact, and a Flying Shadow Talisman.

Immediately afterwards, three loose immortal Jins who thought their escape speed was fast enough stepped forward and each received a Blood Cloud Bead, an immortal artifact, and a Flying Shadow Talisman.

Except for the hunchbacked old man and the other five, the others who planned to leave immediately left and flew towards the outside, quickly disappearing into the distant horizon.

"Then I'll leave it to the five Fellow Daoists." After the others left, Su Anqian said to the hunchbacked old man and the other five.

"Fellow Daoist Su, don't worry, I'll take the lead first." The hunchbacked old man took the lead and flew towards the distant valley.

A few breaths later, a huge muffled sound came from the valley, and then a large area of ​​viscous blood clouds appeared, spreading like a sea wave.

The Fire Age Fireflies in the valley were immediately in chaos, spraying the Flame of Years, and the blood clouds disappeared without a trace in a few breaths.

The figure of the hunchbacked old man appeared near the valley, and then turned into a bright escape light, with a special layer of cyan light appearing on it, shooting towards the distance like lightning, much faster than before.

The insect swarm near the valley let out a squeaking scream, and a large number of Fire Age Fireflies immediately chased after it, accounting for about 10% of the total insect swarm in the valley.

Behind the distant low hill, a trace of joy appeared on Su Anqian's face, and then she immediately looked at the other four.

Without saying much, Ink Fragrance Pavilion Master took off into the air and flew towards the distance, while a layer of spiritual light wrapped around his figure, hiding his aura, and approached the valley from another direction.

Then, like the hunchbacked old man, he released the Blood Cloud Bead, attracting the attention of many Fire Age Fireflies, and immediately revealed his figure and fled.

Immediately, another large number of Fire Age Fireflies tracked him down, roughly the same number as those lured away by the hunchbacked old man.

"Quick! Next one!" Su Anqian hurriedly urged.

The strategy of the five people attracting the Fire Age Fireflies must be fast, otherwise, it would be troublesome if the insect swarm chasing them back returned.

"Everyone, take care!"

A loose immortal Jin swayed and turned into a ball of white light and flew out, quickly reached the vicinity of the valley, threw out the Blood Cloud Bead to detonate it, and then also led away a part of the insect swarm.

The remaining two people also did the same, using the Blood Cloud Bead to lead away a swarm of insects.

At this moment, the insect swarm in the valley was much sparser, with less than half left.

"Now is the time, let's go!"

Su Anqian gave a low shout, and once again sacrificed the yellow small banner, and with a wave, it turned into a yellow cloud, wrapping the ten or so people including Han Li, and with a flash, it merged into the ground, and quickly approached the valley from underground.
