Chapter 141: The Volcanic Sword Mound

Heh... Heh heh... Heh heh heh...

Xun Shu laughed drily. It was only seconds later that he stuttered, "How... could... How could I have been here before? Heh heh, I... am guessing. That's right, I'm only guessing. Heh heh heh..."

The three of them stared blankly at him. Then, in unison they said, "Oh..."

Xun Shu: "..." What does "oh" mean? Do they believe him or not? Xun Shu felt the panic rising up in his chest. I'm finished, I'm finished. Am I giving myself away?

"Let's go!" Shen Ying suddenly stepped forward.

Huh?

"Didn't you say this is the entrance?" She gestured for Yi Qing and Lonemoon to follow her as she walked toward the archway. "Chef, Father Niu, let's go!"

She stepped through the archway as the other two exchanged glances before they followed suit.

They left behind a disbelieving Xun Shu. That... is it? Weren't they going to push him further? He suddenly felt extremely disappointed at this turn of events.

He glanced at the three people who had already walked through the archway. Clenching his fists by his side, he followed them.

The moment he walked through the entrance, the scenery in front of him seemed to split open like curtains. The view changed completely. A burning hot aura came rushing toward them. There were deviant molten rocks everywhere and the temperature was so high that it was off the charts. Everywhere they could look, they saw burnt soil. A volcano so tall that it touched the clouds stood in front of them, seeming to join the ground to the sky. There were different swords all around, stuck into the ground so that there was hardly any space left to walk in between. Rather than call it a volcano, it would be better to call it...

"A sword mound!" Lonemoon breathed. There were immortal swords everywhere – how much money would that make him? It was a pity that the swords had already been sealed. Unless they recognised someone else as their new owner, nobody could take them away. They would not be as useful as the raw materials.

There were too many deviant flames. The few of them were only able to move by riding on their swords. As they flew over the swords, they heard the swords cry out. It looked like no one had stepped into the sword mound for a long time. That was why these immortal swords were reacting so strongly.

"The sword room is there. Let's go over!" Xun Shu pointed toward the bottom of the huge volcano. He turned to see the three of them looking at him suspiciously. His heart thudded and he added, "I think?"

"Oh," Shen Ying answered. She tugged at Chef and flew in the direction Xun Shu pointed. After flying for awhile, the temperature around them dipped drastically. That was when they realised the bottom of the volcano was surrounded by a wall of ice. It looked like a chasm, which separated the inside world from the outside.

They swooped downward and landed atop the ice. Indeed, not far in front of them was an entrance – a gate made out of ice. It led toward the inside of the volcano. But they were standing too far from it to see what was inside.

Just as they started to walk over, they heard something underneath their feet. The ground began to tremble as transparent bubbles as tall as them suddenly emerged from under the ice. The bubbles floated into the air and quickly covered the surface of the ice.
