Watching the blood mist slowly rain down from the sky, Chen Changming gave a cold, expressionless smile, turned, and left the Underground Palace before flying out of the lava river.
He concealed himself all the way, repeatedly teleporting as he departed Flame Mountain.
His clone had long since completed the task of killing Beasts.
So, on the way back to Immortal Taming City, he intended to release his clone and have it return to the sect alone to submit the task.
Somewhere within Flame Mountain.
"Strange, why can't I contact them again?"
Ye Xuanji held the Message Transmission Token, his face filled with shock and fury.
A thread of foreboding began to grow within his heart.
Could the Spirit Transformation experts from the Ye Family and the Lin Family have also met with disaster?
"Damn it, how is this possible? Just who is protecting a Rogue Cultivator like Chen Shan?!"
Ye Xuanji's face turned livid with rage, his teeth grinding with audible cracks.
"Elder Ye, what happened?"
Beside him, a Spirit Transformation elder from First Peak noticed Ye Xuanji's restless state and the way he kept gritting his teeth, so he asked with concern.
"Nothing."
Ye Xuanji took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down.
By now, the Spirit Transformation experts of the Ye Family had been almost completely wiped out. They no longer had the strength to deal with Chen Shan.
If he wanted Chen Shan dead, he would have to rely on his master, He Changkong.
"Elder Liu, I have urgent business to return and report to the Sect Master. Farewell!"
Ye Xuanji clasped his fists toward Elder Liu and vanished in an instant.
"This... what happened?"
Elder Liu looked uncertainly at another elder surnamed Zhao beside him.
"I don't know." Elder Zhao shook his head, frowning.
