My bathroom leads to the celestial realm.

94. Raging Demonic Flames

Xu Yan piloted the flying boat out of the Immortal Pavilion, flying low and fast close to the treetops.

In other directions, at least dozens of flying boats simultaneously evacuated the Immortal Palace, including several large flying boats that were fully loaded and slowly took off.

Around the Fairy City, a large number of residents still managed to evacuate on foot.

Cultivators who own flying boats are still a minority, and mortals who have the opportunity to ride in flying boats are even fewer.

Xu Yan was powerless to do anything about it.

Xu Yan had always thought the speed of the flying boat was pretty good, but now he felt it was flying too slowly and wished the flying boat he was on could immediately become a faster-than-light spaceship.

He could fly faster, but he didn't know how yet.

The speed of the escape light needs to be even faster, but the prerequisite is to advance to the Golden Core stage.

There were no thrusters or similar devices in the Qiankun Bag, so it couldn't help the flying boat accelerate.

He can't exactly strap a sniper rifle to the airship and keep firing at its rear, can he?

That is to say, no enemy is chasing after us, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Turning my head to look at Jinbo Lake, I saw blood-red clouds churning above the center of the lake, with crimson light shooting straight into the sky.

The overwhelming pressure filled him with unease, as if a collapsing mountain was pressing down on him, and there was no time to escape.

Fear, repression, suffocation.

Xu Yan gritted his teeth: "Lie down, all of you lie down!"

The woman, not understanding what was happening, immediately grabbed the little girl and crawled under the boat.

Xu Yan immediately lowered the altitude, and the airship landed in the jungle, quickly passing through the dense branches.

The vegetation can only provide some cover, not enough to stop the enemy's reconnaissance. We must find a safe place as soon as possible... Oh, right, that cave!

He immediately changed direction and rushed straight towards the cave.

As soon as they stepped off the flying boat, a deep, angry roar came from inside the cave, startling the woman so much that she took several steps back and almost fell. The little girl buried her head in the woman's arms.

Xu Yan gestured for the two not to be afraid, then crawled into the cave and swatted the bear down with one blow. Only then did he call the mother and daughter to go deeper into the cave, activating an array to isolate them from the outside world: "Don't make a sound!"

The woman nodded and then gestured for the little girl to be quiet.

Xu Yan listened intently but found nothing unusual, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the little girl's pitiful look, he immediately took out a loaf of bread from his storage ring, tore open the packaging, and handed it to her.

He only had modern packaged foods with a long shelf life, but at times like this, it's best not to be too picky.

The little girl licked her lips, looked up, and gazed at the woman with longing eyes.

The woman reached out and took it, whispering, "Thank you, Immortal Master."

"No need to be polite." Xu Yan waved his hand with a smile, took some food for himself, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it all.

With his current physique, he's strong and expends a lot of energy, so he must be starving by now.

This is still a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, supported by true essence. If it were a pure physical cultivation, it might have already given up.

The little girl was so sensible that it broke your heart; she didn't eat any of the food herself, but let the woman take a bite first.

Xu Yan couldn't bear to see this and quickly gave him another serving: "Eat up, I have more here if you're not full..."

Suddenly, an indescribable low rumble came from deep within the cave, as if a prehistoric behemoth was roaring loudly hiding inside.

Then the ground shook continuously, and a lot of gravel fell from above.

The mother and daughter clung to each other in fear.

Xu Yan lost her appetite.

Damn it, this place isn't safe either!

He then led the mother and daughter deeper into the area.

He had briefly explored the cave; it was part of the uppermost layer of a large underground cavern.

There are two more levels below, with an extremely complex internal structure. At the deepest part of the cave, there is a pool that leads directly to Jinbo Lake.

Xu Yan simply released the flying boat, which flew in a winding and zigzag pattern to the depths of the cave. He found a relatively clean small cave near the pool and set up the formation again.

As long as the hole doesn't collapse, there's no safety issue.

Even if the cave collapses, you can still dive into the pool and swim out.

However, that array was a low-level array plate he bought from Jubaozhai. It was fine for dealing with Qi Refining, and might even be able to fool Foundation Establishment cultivators, but Golden Core cultivators would definitely be able to see through it at a glance. It was only thanks to the tens of meters thick rock layer above his head that he could see through it.

Logically, he should have just stayed here and waited for everything to be over before going out. However, two more waves of tremors came in succession, and the water in the pool was like a boiling pot, making Xu Yan even more uneasy.

No, we need to know what's happening outside!

"Stay here, no matter what happens, don't go out!" Xu Yan instructed, and was about to leave when he thought for a moment and took out some water and food from his ring before quietly returning to the outer cave alone.

The bear was still unconscious, but Xu Yan ignored it and flew the drone out of the cave. It circled the cave entrance and took in the surrounding scenery.

Then, the drone was maneuvered to rise and expand the observation range, and soon the Fairy Pavilion came into view.

As seen in the footage, there are many figures moving slowly around the Fairy Pavilion. They are scattered in various directions, ranging from three to five people to just one or two.

Xu Yan nodded secretly. At this time, the more people gathered together, the more attention they would attract; the more they dispersed, the less likely they were to attract enemies.

Flying boats are certainly much faster than walking and can get out of danger zones much sooner, but flying in the sky also makes them more likely to attract the enemy's attention.

Walking is slower, but it's more discreet. Surely those demon bastards from the Blood Demon Cult won't be out there capturing people all over the mountains?

It's really hard to say who is safer and who is more dangerous.

Looking at the Immortal Pavilion again, although it was in ruins when I left, at least half of the buildings were still intact. Now, less than one-tenth of them are intact; it's practically a complete ruin.

Those corpses that hadn't been collected in time all turned into dehydrated, dried-out bodies, as if they had been buried in the desert for hundreds of years!

Emperor Xuanzong of Deng was also missing.

Xu Yan secretly guessed that the previous commotion was probably because Deng Xuanzong and Situ Yuan had started fighting again.

The drone turned to the lake, switched to a 7x optical zoom lens, and continuously zoomed in on the image, but the distance was still too far, and the flat road on Qianlu Island could not be seen clearly.

As the aircraft ascended and flew towards the center of the lake, the distant scenery gradually became clearer as the distance closed in.

Just as Deng Yuzhou said, there are two small islands in the middle of the lake, not far from each other.

Xu Yan couldn't tell which was Qiandao Island and which was Ludao Island, but one of the islands was already shrouded in blood mist, with everything withered and the vegetation dead.

Another island was protected by a layer of light blue membrane. Outside the membrane, demonic flames raged, and a figure whose appearance was obscured hung alone in mid-air, constantly throwing out clusters of bloody light.

Wherever the blood-red light strikes, a vast expanse of crimson demonic flames ignites, burning fiercely like maggots clinging to bones.

It didn't seem very powerful, but the flowers, trees and plants outside the formation had long been burned to ashes, and even the stones were burned into scorching lava!

Xu Yan immediately became curious: Is this the shameless Nascent Soul cultivator from the Blood Demon Sect?

With the power of one person, he overwhelmed the entire island, demonstrating the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Fortunately, they were held back by Qianlu Island, otherwise, they could have easily burned the Immortal Pavilion to the ground with just two balls of blood flame!

However, the blue protective array around the island seems to be able to hold on, and that Blood Demon Nascent Soul cultivator will have to keep busy for a while longer.

Xu Yan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If only we had an electromagnetic cannon, we could have given this guy a good beating!
