Chapter 709: Loyalty to Protect the Lord

The words of Firebird made Jiang Yun’s heart suddenly stir.

Initially, he had only been curious about the Reincarnation Cave.

But as more than a year had passed, although the poisonous gas here did not have a big impact on him, he could not withstand the accumulating toxicity.

Now he could clearly feel that the toxic gas entering his body had begun to gradually erode his body, weakening his spirit qi.

So, his interest in the Reincarnation Cave changed from curiosity to a must-go.

If it can really cleanse the poison in his body, his future days will be much better.

But the Firebird always felt great disgust towards the Reincarnation Cave, so he didn’t want to bring it up since he was in need of the Firebird’s help.

But since there was a Reincarnation Cave right in front of him, he thought it would be a good opportunity to see it.

Jiang Yun suggested, "Even if you don’t want to go, I don’t want to waste this chance. How about you wait nearby, and I’ll come find you when it’s done."

"Okay!"

The Firebird agreed decisively, flipped around, and bluntly tossed Jiang Yun out before flying away.

As Jiang Yun landed, he immediately released his divine sense and discovered a small mountain not far away, about ten thousand feet from him.

On the mountain wall, there was an inconspicuous cave.

To Jiang Yun’s surprise, in a direction far beyond the horizon, there was a group of people heading towards Reincarnation Cave.

"It’s too late!"

Watching the group of people, Jiang Yun softly spoke.

As he spoke, the temperature around suddenly soared.

In the sky, the color of the sun instantly turned fiery red, and a shower of fireballs appeared out of nowhere!

Having followed the firebird for over a year, Jiang Yun could now accurately predict the exact timing of the fireball shower.

The group of people totaled sixteen, split into groups of four, maintaining a protective formation as they hurried forward.

In the middle, four people were carrying a very exquisite sedan chair.

With the sedan curtains drawn, obscuring the scene inside, but by their appearance, Jiang Yun knew that their purpose for coming to Reincarnation Cave should be for the person in the sedan.

The poison inside the sedan chair occupant’s body may have reached a dangerous level and needs to be removed.

The poison in Dao Prison won’t directly kill people, but when it builds up to a certain point, known as saturation, it will make cultivators lose their abilities permanently and become useless.

So, before it reaches saturation, we must find a way to remove some of the poison.

Jiang Yun speculates that there could be more than one way to remove it.

Entering the Reincarnation Cave is just one of them.

Even entering the Reincarnation Cave doesn’t necessarily mean you must have the Firebird’s feather; there are definitely other things that can be used instead.

Otherwise, knowing the Firebird’s greedy nature, its feathers would probably have been stolen long ago.

At this moment, although the cultivators are not far from the Reincarnation Cave, their abilities are not high.

The strongest one is only at the Tao Spiritual Realm, the rest are only at the Sky Reaching Realm.

In the past year, Jiang Yun has seen many different creatures.

There were humans as well as cultivators, among whom there were both humans and demon race.

Although Jiang Yun did not have direct contact or conversation with them, it was easy to guess that those sent to the seven layers of Dao Prison were strong.

The weakest were at the Sky Reaching Realm, while the strongest were at the Earth Protection Realm.

Of course, Jiang Yun believed that experts at the Sky Blessed Realm or even the Daoxing Realm could possibly exist.

Therefore, the cultivation of the group of people in front of him was not impressive.

This made it impossible for them to enter the Reincarnation Cave before the rain of fireballs fell, no matter how hard they tried.

The only consequence of not being able to enter was death!

Watching the rain of fireballs falling from the sky, Jiang Yun shook his head.

Even though he wanted to help others, he was too busy protecting himself to worry about anyone else.

Jiang Yun could only hope that they would also have the power to disappear underground like him, so they might escape the danger.

Jiang Yun disappeared into the ground instantly, but his divine sense was still watching those people.

The group of people’s faces changed drastically when the fireballs rained down on them.

The cultivator from the Tao Spiritual Realm shouted loudly, "No matter what, we must send the young master to the Reincarnation Cave!"

As the words fell, the power he had been holding back finally burst out.

A strong energy rose into the sky as he took a step and sat directly on a floating sedan.

Then, he raised his hand, and a square white shield appeared above his head, emitting a faint white light, protecting the sedan.

The other fifteen people also unleashed their powers and sped up their pace.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the rain of fireballs had already fallen to the ground, making a loud booming sound.

The individual size of the fireballs may not be large, but there were a great number of them, incredibly dense, with no possibility of escaping.

As a fireball fell, four cultivators were instantly hit, not even having the chance to scream before being burned to ashes.

The remaining people, though looking very grim, did not panic. They gritted their teeth, quickened their pace, and continued rushing towards the Reincarnation Cave.

When they were only a hundred feet away from the Reincarnation Cave, all sixteen people had died, except for the cultivator of the Tao Spiritual Realm.

The reason he survived was not only due to his higher cultivation level but also because of the white shield above his head.

Jiang Yun saw several fireballs landing on the shield, causing it to shake continuously, but they could not break the white light surrounding it.

With the Tao Spiritual Realm’s cultivation level, he would have arrived instantly at the cave over a distance of a hundred feet under normal circumstances.

However, for the Tao Spiritual Realm cultivator now, it was like a gap he could not cross.

He gritted his teeth, releasing spirit energy to maintain the brightness of the shield above his head, while trying to keep the sedan chair moving forward in a very difficult manner.

"Boom!"

Finally, when the sedan chair was less than three feet away from the Reincarnation Cave, a fireball hit heavily, causing the shield to instantly break apart.

The scorching flames immediately engulfed the whole body of the Tao Spiritual Realm cultivator, turning him into a fire person, his body burning to ashes at a very fast pace.

Despite this, he still disregarded his own safety, let out a loud roar, and fiercely slammed his head against the sedan chair.

This collision pushed the sedan chair forward by another two yards, bringing it within a short distance of the cave entrance.

However, the body of the Tao Spiritual Realm cultivator had also been completely burnt to ashes, only managing to let out a resentful cry, "young master, I’m sorry!"

Jiang Yun, who saw all this clearly, couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

In just a short moment, all sixteen people were burnt to death, and the young master they had tried so hard to protect still couldn’t enter the Reincarnation Cave.

With a sigh, Jiang Yun suddenly moved to the side of the soft sedan chair and jumped off the ground, gently tapping the sedan chair.

Together with the sedan chair, he finally entered the Reincarnation Cave.

Although Jiang Yun had no intention to interfere, the deaths of the sixteen people, especially the loyalty of the Tao Spiritual Realm cultivator at the end, ultimately touched him, leading him to rescue the people in the sedan chair at a critical moment.

Now inside the Reincarnation Cave, Jiang Yun immediately felt a cool breeze coming towards him, dispersing some of the heat on his body.

However, Jiang Yun’s expression suddenly became serious.

Because he could clearly sense a powerful presence deep within the Reincarnation Cave.
