CHAPTER 819: CHAPTER 433: LAND OF VIOLET FLAMES (PART 2)

Outside the stone gate, Ji Hui and the others stopped in their tracks.

The danger level of the second level of the Fire Domain far exceeded that of the first, even they did not dare to enter lightly.

"Gu Sheng, you can’t escape!"

Ji Hui’s voice echoed outside the stone gate.

"You old hag, stop yapping, if you’ve got the guts, come in!"

Gu Sheng loudly replied.

Ji Hui’s face turned sullen, and she stared intently at the entrance of the second level of the Fire Domain.

If they chose to wait for Gu Sheng at the entrance of the second level, both she and Hua Yunfei would eventually be incinerated by these scorching flames.

But if she decided to go in, she knew nothing about the situation inside.

This put her in a dilemma.

Just then, Gu Sheng’s voice came again from the second level.

"Old hag, are you afraid to come?"

Gu Sheng taunted deliberately.

"This..."

Hua Yunfei and the other Ji family elders looked at Ji Hui, waiting for her decision.

They knew that although Ji Hui’s strength was formidable, the unknown risks of the second level of the Fire Domain also made them somewhat apprehensive.

Fear comes from the unknown.

After a brief contemplation, determination filled Ji Hui’s eyes.

"Gu Sheng, do you think you can evade me like this? You’re underestimating me!"

Ji Hui said coldly.

With that, Ji Hui mustered all her Divine Power, forming a powerful protective shield, "Follow me!"

With resolute determination, Ji Hui stepped into the second level of the Fire Domain.

"Patriarch..."

The other Ji family elders were stunned.

To be honest, in their hearts, it really wasn’t worth it for Gu Sheng.

If they ended up perishing together, the price would be too great!

"You can enter!"

Ji Hui’s voice came from behind the stone gate.

"Uh..."

The Ji family elders exchanged glances, feeling a bit hesitant.

At this moment, however, Hua Yunfei seemed more determined.

He gathered his Divine Power to form a protective shield and directly entered the second level.

The other Ji family elders were taken aback.

They didn’t expect Hua Yunfei to risk his life following Ji Hui.

Yet, they hesitated, and if word got out, wouldn’t it shame the Ji family?

Subsequently, they also gathered their Divine Power and followed into the second level of the Fire Domain.

Upon entering the second level, they immediately felt a stark difference from the first level.

"Everyone be careful, the flames here are even more intense than outside, don’t get burned."

Ji Hui cautioned.

"Hmm!"

Hua Yunfei and the other Ji family elders nodded.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, several fireballs rushed in.

Ji Hui hurriedly dodged at the sight.

"Boom boom boom!"

The fireballs crashed into the wall beside the stone gate, scattering countless small fireballs.

Ji Hui turned her head, seeing it was Gu Sheng causing trouble.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "Gu Sheng, watch as I destroy you!"

With that, Ji Hui’s face turned fierce as she promptly gathered her Divine Power and launched an attack at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng nimbly dodged Ji Hui’s attack.

His figure swiftly moved through the second level of the Fire Domain, although his speed was a bit slow, it was more than sufficient to evade attacks.

With that, Ji Hui, along with Hua Yunfei and the other Ji family elders, pursued Gu Sheng.

It wasn’t long before they reached the depths of the second level.

As they went deeper, the flames of the second level became more intense.

The scorching heat of the crimson flames caused Gu Sheng immense pressure.

At the same time, his body began to withstand the extreme high temperature.

At this moment, Gu Sheng suddenly recalled absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Spring power at the Supreme Mysterious Sect.

"Phew..."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, activating the power of the Spiritual Spring within him.

Instantly, a sensation of coolness swept over him.

But this Spiritual Spring power was limited, barely withstanding the scorching heat of the crimson flames.

However, all Gu Sheng could think of was that even if he were roasted to death, he couldn’t fall into Ji Hui’s hands.

With that resolve, Gu Sheng continued on deeper, risking being burned alive.

On the other hand, Ji Hui and the others also felt immense pressure.

The high temperature of the crimson flames consumed their Divine Power significantly, nearly reaching the point of being unbearable.

"Damn it, these flames are too strong! It seems the only option is to use that move."

Ji Hui said fiercely.

Then, she formed hand seals, chanting words of power.

After speaking, Ji Hui performed the upper-level Great Void Skill.

"Whoosh!"

Ji Hui’s figure instantly disappeared from the spot, merging into the void.

Hua Yunfei and other esteemed members of the Ji family were left speechless.

They couldn’t use the Great Void Skill and faced with such high-temperature red flames, were they supposed to wait for death?

"Elder Ji Hui, what should we do?"

One of the Ji family elders asked anxiously.

Ji Hui’s voice came from the void: "You all retreat from the second layer first, I will follow shortly."

"Yes, Elder Ji Hui."

That Ji family elder responded, leading the others to quickly retreat from the second layer.

As for Gu Sheng, he sensed Ji Hui’s disappearance and his heart tightened.

Ji Hui’s Great Void Skill was extremely powerful, and when she reappeared, it would surely pose a great threat to him.

Gu Sheng didn’t hesitate and immediately sped up, rushing deeper into the second layer.

As he fled, Gu Sheng suddenly saw another door.

On it was clearly written: Third Layer, Purple Flame Territory, Enter at Your Own Risk!

"This..."

Gu Sheng was momentarily stunned.

Should he go in or not?

If he went in, it could be a dead end.

If he didn’t go in, Ji Hui could attack him from the void at any time.

While hesitating, Ji Hui suddenly appeared beside Gu Sheng.

"Slap!"

Ji Hui slapped towards Gu Sheng’s chest.

"Puff!"

Gu Sheng was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

And that spurted blood instantly dried up and evaporated, as if it had never happened.

"Old hag, you actually ambushed me!"

Gu Sheng stabilized himself and cursed at Ji Hui.

Ji Hui, already old and haggard, with loose skin,

now looked almost like a dried corpse under the roasting of the red flames.

If it weren’t for Gu Sheng’s strong mindset, he might have been scared to death...

"As long as I can kill you, I’ll take whatever means come fastest."

Ji Hui said through gritted teeth.

Then, Ji Hui once again stirred her divine power, launching an attack on Gu Sheng.

She skillfully used the upper-level Great Void Skill, her figure flickering like a ghost through the flames.

Gu Sheng couldn’t see her movements at all, and despite his best efforts to dodge, his speed was noticeably reduced due to his injuries, and he suffered another brutal blow from Ji Hui.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, Gu Sheng was pushed by Ji Hui into the third layer of the Fire Domain.

Ji Hui didn’t hesitate in the slightest and followed him in.

However, just upon entering the third layer, Ji Hui was surrounded by a powerful purple fire.

The temperature of this purple fire far exceeded that of the second layer, it was practically like purgatory.

Even a formidable figure like Ji Hui felt the pressure of death.

The purple fire in the third layer seemed to have a life of its own, tightly entwining Ji Hui.

As a result, Ji Hui couldn’t escape at all.

"This is bad..."

Ji Hui’s face turned pale, realizing she couldn’t remain in the third layer.

With no other option, Ji Hui had to retreat from the third layer.

After exiting, Ji Hui looked at the entrance to the third layer.

"Gu Sheng, enjoy your time in the third layer!"

Ji Hui’s eyes bore a trace of viciousness.

Then, she formed seals with her hands, placing a seal at the entrance of the third layer.

Seeing the seal set, Ji Hui nodded in satisfaction.

Then Ji Hui also exited the second layer, returned to the first layer, and went back to the entrance.

At this time, Hua Yunfei and several other Ji family elders were waiting there.

When they saw Ji Hui emerge, they quickly came forward to greet her.

"Ancestor, is Gu Sheng dead?"

One of the elders asked.

"No, but he’s already sealed in the third layer, he won’t survive!"

Ji Hui said coldly.

"Good, that’s fine then."

That elder nodded.

But Hua Yunfei, standing to the side, was quite shaken.

He didn’t expect the Ji family to act so ruthlessly.

This truly goes against the ways of the world.

"Hua Yunfei, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Hua Yunfei a bit absent-minded, Ji Hui casually asked.

"Nothing... nothing, I was just curious how Gu Sheng could survive in the third layer of the Fire Domain."

Hua Yunfei changed the topic.
