Chapter 977: Leaving Fire City

Lihuo City is a well-known city in the First Divine Continent, with an area more than twice that of Canglan City.

It gathers tens of millions of monks, twice as many as Canglan City, and is more prosperous and lively.

Lihuo City is also one of the important channels for Lihuo Sect to earn resources.

In addition, Lihuo Sect also controls a large number of mineral veins and several hidden secret blessed places.

Not only Lihuo Sect, other second-rate forces and even third-rate forces also control secret blessed places and mineral veins.

These secret blessed places and mineral veins are the important secrets for the development and rise of many forces.

Without these, the major forces would not be able to maintain the existing opportunities and fortunes.

The ten major holy places control even more secret blessed places and mineral veins.

Moreover, many second-rate forces are also dependent on the ten major holy places, and need to regularly supply certain resources to the ten major holy places.

Many third-rate forces are dependent on second-rate forces, and supply resources to second-rate forces to seek shelter.

No matter where you are, there is basically such a pyramid-like shelter relationship.

There is no other way.

Although relying on a high-level force requires regular supply of massive resources, it is safer and will not be deliberately targeted by other forces.

If there is no force behind to protect it, it is equivalent to fat meat without an owner.

In a place like the First Divine Continent, a piece of fat meat without an owner will inevitably lead to a bloody fight.

That is why there is a pyramid protection model, with layers of supply.

Canglan Sect has to pay tribute to the second-rate forces behind it, but there are also a large number of forces under Canglan Sect who pay tribute to Canglan Sect to seek Canglan Sect's protection.

Such a pyramid protection model exists in all nine Divine Continents, and it has existed since ancient times and has never changed.

After all, it is almost impossible for a single force to survive and develop in the major Divine Continents.

Unless it is extremely powerful, just like the ten holy places.

But even the ten holy places have allies and enemies among each other, and it is not possible to say that one holy place can sweep the other ten holy places.

After all, it is almost impossible to be invincible, and any force has hostile forces.

Looking at the huge city in front, Ye Zhongrong took the initiative to introduce it to Lu Fan.

Listening to Ye Zhongrong's introduction, Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "No need to go to Lihuo City, go directly to the old nest of Lihuo Sect."

Came here just to destroy Lihuo Sect, not to visit Lihuo City.

Hearing Lu Fan say so, Ye Zhongrong could only guide Gui Hai Yidao, who was driving the escape shuttle, to the old nest of Lihuo Sect.

The old nest of Lihuo Sect is not far from Lihuo City, but not very close.

The Lihuo Sect practices fire-attributed exercises, and there is a large Flame Mountain hundreds of miles away from Lihuo City.

Ordinary cultivators cannot stay in that area for a long time, and it is very uncomfortable.

However, the members of the Lihuo Sect who practice fire-attributed exercises have turned it into a holy place for cultivation.

Therefore, the old nest of Lihuo Sect is in that Flame Mountain, and even expanded to the underground magma lake.

Because the magma lake below is filled with extremely rich fire energy, for the Lihuo Sect, such a magma lake is definitely a great opportunity and good fortune.

After the shuttle sped for another hour, Lu Fan and others saw a large area of ​​​​flaming mountains in front of them through the shuttle.

Those mountains were all red, and all the grass and trees on the mountains also absorbed the fire energy and turned red.

Looking from a distance, all the mountains in front seemed to be burning.

But there are a lot of buildings built on top of those mountains, all of which are made of materials that can absorb fire energy.

There is no formation barrier here.

Because ordinary cultivators will feel very uncomfortable when they come here, and the spiritual power in their bodies will dissipate quickly.

Especially when the spiritual power shield is activated to resist the heat here, the spiritual power consumption rate is very terrifying.

In such a place, it is good to be able to exert 70% of the combat power.

On the contrary, the members of the Lihuo Sect will have a bonus when fighting here.

In other places, they can only exert 100% of their combat power, but here they can burst out 110% or even 120% or 30% of their combat power.

Therefore, even if there is no formation barrier in this area, no one will dare to break in rashly.

Moreover, the Lihuo Sect has raised a large number of fire-attributed beasts, such as fire snakes, here.

Once an outsider breaks into this area, the Lihuo Sect will immediately find out.

In addition, there are special patrol guards, so it is almost impossible to sneak in quietly.

The shuttle did not stop, and rushed straight to the Flame Mountain area in front.

Since he came to destroy the Lihuo Sect, Lu Fan was too lazy to hide, and just used this method to announce his return.

As long as he did not immediately confront the Ten Holy Lands, he was not too afraid of the others.

Facing Lu Fan's domineering and decisive actions, Ye Zhongrong and others were both excited and very uneasy.

After all, this is the Lihuo Sect, which ranks 20th among the second-rate forces, not an ordinary third-rate force.

Just as the shuttle arrived at the flame area, a dozen figures from a flame mountain range below immediately rose into the air and blocked the way.

"Who dares to trespass into the territory of the Lihuo Sect? Get out of here now."

The young leader of the Lihuo Sect was arrogant and domineering, and the leader was ruthless and protective of his shortcomings, which led to the members of the Lihuo Sect also being very domineering and arrogant.

So when they saw the shuttle breaking in, they told it to go away.

And while scolding and shouting, the dozen strong men dispersed and surrounded the shuttle, obviously ready to take action.

Seeing this scene, Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and stood up.

Then he opened the hatch of the shuttle and walked out first, followed by Shiji Yang Jian and others.

Although Ye Zhongrong and others were very helpless, they still followed Lu Fan and his party out and stood in the air.

After coming outside, Lu Fan put away the shuttle and looked at the dozen members of the Lihuo Sect with a calm expression.

And when the dozen members of the Lihuo Sect saw Lu Fan and his party, they immediately became alert.

One of them took out the jade card and crushed it, alerting the inside that the enemy had invaded.

This guy's little action was seen by Lu Fan, but he did not stop it, just watched calmly.

At this time, the member of the Lihuo Sect who had the highest cultivation level at the ninth level of the Spiritual Severing Realm looked at Lu Fan and the others and said in a deep voice:

"Who are you and why did you break into the territory of our Lihuo Sect?"

This guy was obviously using this method to delay time, but Lu Fan didn't care at all.

And he was too lazy to waste time.

Without him speaking, the Blood God smiled and rushed directly towards these guys.

As he rushed forward, he turned into a ball of blood mist, covering the dozen or so members of the Lihuo Sect.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zhongrong and the others suddenly widened their eyes, and expressions of shock and disbelief appeared on their faces...
