After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

Chapter 175: At the Foot of the Volcano

In an instant, a mysterious force surged out from the dragon's fingertips, instantly blocking the surging spiritual power in Old Man Shen's body.

Old man Shen widened his eyes and looked at the huge dragon in front of him with disbelief. He could never have imagined that the other party could stop him from self-destructing so easily.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the dragon, filled with anger, unwillingness and despair.

It was as if Old Man Shen wanted to use his last gaze to deeply imprint the hideous and terrifying appearance of the dragon into the depths of his soul, so that he would never close his eyes even after his death.

A deafening roar echoed, and in an instant, a dazzling light flashed across the sky like lightning.

In this dazzling light, Old Man Shen was instantly burned to ashes, without even a trace left.

Immediately afterwards, the huge dragon circled in the air and then dived back into the depths of the lake as fast as lightning.

As the dragon left, everything around returned to its former tranquility and peace, as if the thrilling scene just now was just an illusory dream.

Lin Xian'er, Qi Miao, Duan Xixi and Xie Qijun, who were inside the protective shield, witnessed the entire process firsthand.

At this moment, Duan Xixi's face was full of fear, her body was shaking involuntarily, and she fell to the ground.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at the lake, her heart filled with fear, afraid that the dragon would notice their presence.

It was not until the dragon completely disappeared at the bottom of the lake and the lake surface returned to calm that Duan Xixi's heart finally relaxed a little and she let out a long sigh.

"Xixi, don't be afraid, I'm here, nothing will happen," Qi Miao hurriedly walked forward, gently helped Duan Xixi up, and held her tightly in his arms, comforting her softly.

Feeling Qi Miao's warm embrace, Duan Xixi's emotions gradually stabilized, but her body was still shaking slightly.

At this time, Xie Qijun suddenly asked, "Master, should we leave now?"

After all, the smell of blood here was too strong, and Xie Qijun was worried that Lin Xian'er would feel uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Lin Xian'er did not respond immediately.

It turned out that at this moment, her entire attention was no longer on the scene before her.

In order to avoid witnessing such a cruel and bloody scene with her own eyes, she secretly asked the system to play the anime "One Piece" for her, and she started to review it from the first episode.

Think about it, in modern times, she has been following this anime since she was a child. But until the end of her life, she was unable to wait for the final chapter of "One Piece".

Now that she had come to this world of cultivating immortals, with such a long lifespan, she couldn't help but wonder if she still had the chance to wait until its end.

"Master, Master," Xie Qijun called out several times, his voice echoing in the empty space, but Lin Xian'er in front of him seemed not to hear him, still standing there blankly with a blank look in her eyes.

After a long while, she seemed to wake up from a dream and slowly turned her head. She looked at Xie Qijun blankly and opened her lips slightly, "What's wrong?"

Xie Qijun sighed inwardly, he knew that his master must have been distracted and thinking about other things again.

He said helplessly, "Master, we can't stay here for long. Let's leave quickly. This is not a safe place."

As he spoke, his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

After hearing this, Lin Xian'er nodded slightly, then shifted her gaze to the shocking pile of broken limbs in front of her.

However, there was no fear or strange expression on her face.

Then, she removed the system's protective shield, turned around, and quickly ran away from here with Xie Qijun and the other two.

Just as their figures disappeared, ripples suddenly appeared on the originally calm lake.

The dragon that had been sleeping for a long time deep in the lake suddenly opened its eyes as big as copper bells, and a chilling light flashed in its eyes.

Then, it moved its body slightly, and the surrounding lake water suddenly surged, but returned to calm after a moment.

Lin Xian'er and the other four walked forward for a long time, and suddenly a dilapidated thatched house appeared in front of them.

The thatched hut stood alone on the roadside, surrounded by a bustling crowd of immortal cultivators.

These people were busy moving various items, and their busyness was like a swarm of locusts, sweeping away everything in the thatched hut.

Lin Xian'er and others looked at the thatched hut curiously, but saw that it was in a mess and there was nothing worth paying attention to, so they turned around and left without hesitation.

Then, under the precise guidance of the system, they continued on their journey without stopping, and soon arrived at their destination - the foot of a seemingly ordinary volcano.

This volcano is particularly different from other mountains. Not only is there no spiritual power at all, but the entire mountain is bare with no grass growing, giving people a feeling of desolation.

Because of this, no one noticed the existence of this place.

[Host, according to my investigation, the Phoenix Blood Essence is hidden deep beneath this volcano. However, I must solemnly remind you that the location of the Phoenix Blood Essence is the core of this secret realm. Once it is removed, I am afraid the entire secret realm will gradually collapse.]

The system's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Xian'er's mind.

Hearing this, Lin Xian'er instantly fell into deep thought.

Thinking of the spiritual plants and spiritual beasts that could have lived peacefully here, but might now lose their long-standing homes because of her group's actions, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pity in her heart.

Is there any way to extract the Phoenix Blood Essence while also preserving this secret realm from collapse? Lin Xian'er asked the system expectantly.

[Use your own blood essence to replace the Phoenix blood essence and become the master of this secret realm.]

The host is completely different from those ordinary immortal cultivators. Her essence and blood contain an extremely powerful soul power that can quickly repair the damage to the world.

Hearing this, Xie Qijun suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Lin Xian'er who was standing not far away.

If he really wanted to take out the extremely precious Phoenix blood, it would bring immeasurable harm to his beloved master. He would never be willing to do such a thing under any circumstances.

Xie Qijun clenched his hands tightly, and his knuckles began to turn white due to excessive force.

He used all his strength to suppress the urge in his heart to take Lin Xian'er away from here immediately.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he must protect his master and not let her suffer any harm.
