Chapter 709: Loyal Guardian

just like a practitioner of the Tong脈 realm facing a cultivator of the TianYou realm—resistance is nothing but a joke!Even, he had already prepared for the outcome of death and annihilation!However, j...Huòniǎo's words made Jiāng Yún's heart suddenly flutter.

He was only curious about the reincarnation cave at first, and even mentioned that he wouldn't mind checking it out.

But as more than a year passed, although the toxins here didn't have much of an impact on him, he couldn't withstand the cumulative effect of toxicity over time.

Now he could feel more clearly that the poison entering his body was gradually eroding his body and consuming his spiritual energy.

Therefore, his interest in the rebirth cave transformed from curiosity to a necessity to go.

If it could really detoxify the toxins in my body, then my life would be much better afterward.

However, the Firebird has always harbored a deep aversion to the Rebirth Cave. Since I needed its help, I couldn't bring myself to mention it.

But since there's a reincarnation cave right in front of me, I might as well go take a look.

Jiang Yun's eyes rolled. "Although you don't want to go, I won't waste an opportunity. So, find a place nearby and wait for me. When it's done, I'll come find you."

"Hooray!"

The Thunderbird's answer was extremely curt. Its body flipped over directly and without any politeness, it flung Jiang Yun out. Then, it turned and flew away.

Landing on the ground, Jiang Yun immediately released his divine sense. Sure enough, he found a small mountain less than a hundred zhang away from him, about ten thousand zhang away.

On the mountainside, there was an unassuming cave.

To Ginger Cloud's surprise, in the direction a hundred thousand miles away from where they were, there was actually a group of people heading towards the Rebirth Cave.

"

It's too late!

"

Looking at the crowd, Jiang Yun lightly spoke.

As soon as his words left his mouth, the temperature around them suddenly skyrocketed.

Above the sky, a sun's color instantly turned crimson, and a shower of fireballs appeared suddenly!

After more than a year of being by the Phoenix's side, Jiang Yun could precisely calculate the exact time when the fireball rain would appear.

There were sixteen of them, traveling in groups of four, maintaining a formation as they moved swiftly forward.

In the middle, four people were carrying a rather exquisite soft sedan.

The sedan chair curtains were drawn, concealing the scene inside. But from their demeanor, Jiang Yun knew that their purpose in coming to the Rebirth Cave was most likely for the person within the sedan chair.

The toxins in the person's body in the car must have reached saturation, and it is imperative to remove them.

The poison gas in the prison doesn't directly kill people, it only accumulates to a certain extent, that is, when it's saturated, it will completely strip cultivators of their cultivation and turn them into useless people.

Therefore, before saturation is reached, ways must be found to remove some.

As for the removal methods, Jiang Yun guessed that there should be more than one.

Entering the reincarnation cave is just one of them.

Even entering the Reincarnation Cave doesn't necessarily require a Firebird's feather. There are definitely other alternatives.

Otherwise, given Huǒniǎo's gluttonous personality, his feathers would have probably been plucked clean by now.

Although these cultivators are not far from the Rebirth Cave at this moment, their cultivation levels are not high.

The strongest is only one Dao Ling realm, the rest are only Dong Tian realms.

Over the past year or so, Jiang Yun has also met many creatures.

There are both mortals and cultivators, and among the cultivators, there are both humans and demons.

Although Jiang Yun had no direct contact or conversation with them, it wasn't difficult to guess that those who could be sent to this seventh level of hell were all formidable in strength.

The weakest are at the level of Dongtian Realm, while the strongest reach Dihu Realm.

Of course, Jiang Yun believes that experts at the Tianyou Realm, and even the Daoist Realm, are likely to exist.

Therefore, the cultivation level of this group of people before me is simply not enough to behold.

This means that even if they expanded their cultivation and ran with all their might, it would be impossible for them to enter the Rebirth Cave before the rain of fireballs descended.

The only consequence of being unable to enter is death!

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

Although he wished to help, he was too busy saving himself to worry about others.

Ginger Cloud could only hope they possessed the earth-escape ability just like him, perhaps they would be able to escape this disaster.

Jiang Yun's figure instantly disappeared into the earth, but his divine sense remained watching those people.

At the sight of the falling fireball rain, the faces of this group instantly changed drastically.

The cultivators of that spiritual realm shouted loudly, "No matter what, we must send the young master into the Reincarnation Cave!"

As soon as his words left his mouth, the cultivation he had always been too afraid to use finally erupted with all its might.

As the powerful aura surged into the sky, he unexpectedly took a step forward and directly levitated, sitting on the soft palanquin.

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

As for the other fifteen people, they all unleashed their respective cultivation bases and accelerated their pace.

It's a pity that by this time, the meteor shower had already fallen to the ground with a deafening roar.

Though individually small, the fireballs are numerous and incredibly dense, leaving no possibility of escape.

As a fireball descended, four cultivators among the group were struck instantly. They didn't even have time to scream before they were incinerated to ashes.

And the remaining people, though each one's face was incredibly grim, none panicked. They simply gritted their teeth, quickened their pace, and continued to rush towards the Rebirth Cave.

When they were only a hundred meters away from the Rebirth Cave, sixteen people had already died, and only the cultivator of the Dao Spirit Realm was still alive.

And the reason he was able to escape unscathed, besides his cultivation being higher than others, was the white shield above his head.

Jiang Yun saw several fireballs falling onto the shield. Although they shook the shield constantly, they failed to shatter the white light.

A hundred zhang distance, with the cultivation base of a Dao Spirit Realm expert, would normally be covered instantly.

However, for that Daoist cultivator now, it was like an uncrossable chasm.

He gritted his teeth, continuously releasing spiritual energy to maintain the glow of the shield above his head, while also maneuvering the palanquin forward, making for a tremendously arduous advance.

"Boom!"

Finally, when the soft sedan was less than three feet away from the rebirth cave, accompanied by a heavy crash of a fireball, this face shield instantly collapsed.

That searing flame instantly enveloped the Dao Ling Realm cultivator's entire body, turning him into a human torch. His body began burning to ashes at an alarmingly fast rate.

Even so, he still disregarded his own safety, roared suddenly, and fiercely bumped his head against the soft sedan chair.

This impact sent the soft sedan crashing forward another twenty feet, leaving it just a hair's breadth from the cave entrance.

However, the spiritual cultivator's body was also burned to ashes, only managing to let out a roar filled with unwillingness: "Master, this old slave is sorry for you!"

Ginger Cloud, who saw everything clearly, couldn't help but let out a sigh in her heart.

In just a short moment, all sixteen people were burned to death, and the young master they desperately tried to protect still had not managed to enter the rebirth cave.

In a sigh, Jiang Yun's figure suddenly moved, appearing beside the soft palanquin in an instant. He leaped from the ground and gently patted the palanquin with his hand.

And he himself, together with the soft sedan chair, finally entered the rebirth cave.

Although Gingercloud had no intention of interfering, the deaths of those sixteen people, especially the final loyal spirit cultivator's sacrifice, ultimately touched him. It was this that moved him to save the person in the sedan chair at the crucial moment.

Now that he was inside the Rebirth Cave, Jiang Yun immediately felt a wave of coolness wash over him. The heat from his body dissipated considerably.

However, Ke Jiangyun's face suddenly turned grave.

Because he could clearly feel that deep within this reincarnation cave, there existed a powerful aura.
