Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 580 - 524: Purple Luo Volcano

After formulating the plan, the group immediately left Purple Bamboo Valley and headed towards Purple Luo Volcano.

Chu Chen did not accompany them; instead, he diverted his path toward Soul Suppressing Abyss.

He had been separated from Elder Bai and the others for a month. Initially, the plan was to rescue Zhao Wudi and then reunite with them to start a new life.

However, in yesterday’s plan, their side lacked significant combat power. Regrettably, Chu Chen could only allow them to participate, using the opportunity to see if they had adapted to their new life over the past month.

Upon contacting Elder Bai, he learned that they were still lurking near Soul Suppressing Abyss in the Pale Mountain Range, which allowed him to sigh in relief.

Chu Chen was afraid that these people might be unruly, which could cause trouble.

After multiple teleportations, he returned to Xuemei City, this time only bringing Shi Feng back with him.

Su Zixuan was dispatched to Purple Luo Volcano, naturally ensuring the other party would report the actual situation to him since he was the main force in this hostage exchange.

Returning to Xuemei City once more, Shi Feng’s mindset differed significantly from last time; the joy of newfound life had gradually faded. Watching the continuous flow of people, he could now view them calmly.

The two did not linger much in Xuemei City, quickly replenishing their stamina before heading directly to rendezvous with Elder Bai.

An hour later, Chu Chen found Bai Shi and the others in the Pale Mountain Range.

Seeing the spirited looks in their eyes, Chu Chen secretly nodded. Clearly, over the month, their mindsets had largely adjusted, and they had put on new clothes while the Guardian Beasts had recovered to seventy or eighty percent of their former state.

Elder Bai noticed Chu Chen’s gaze on the new clothes and quickly stepped forward to explain in a low voice, "Sir, I personally went into the city to purchase these clothes. Everyone’s clothes were shabby and thin, and the Guardian Beasts needed a lot of cultivation resources. Without them, they might take months, or even a year, to return to their peak state."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen patted Elder Bai’s shoulder and said with a smile, "I didn’t mean to blame you. I initially didn’t let you enter the city, merely fearing you wouldn’t control yourselves and cause some trouble. But it seems I was overthinking. Here are some cultivation resources and living supplies; distribute them among everyone. Also, notify them that we depart tomorrow and let them prepare." With that, he handed over a large amount of Space Equipment to Elder Bai.

Elder Bai showed visible joy at this. Their Space Equipment was confiscated by the Alliance before entering Soul Suppressing Abyss.

During this period, carrying supplies was extremely inconvenient; these Space Equipment were like timely rain for them.

Meanwhile, at the Alliance headquarters in Qilin City, Sun Wenshan looked at the battle report in his hand, his face turning extremely grim.

"Lord Alliance Leader, the Star Beasts have launched an all-out war against our front lines, and they’ve dispatched several Emperor-level Star Beasts to fight. The frontline has suffered significant losses and has repeatedly requested aid from the Alliance. If we don’t send strong reinforcements, I’m afraid..." the operations officer said solemnly.

Before the other party could finish, Sun Wenshan slammed the battle report onto the table and shouted coldly, "Enough, those damn Star Beasts, choosing to wage war precisely at this time."

Sun Wenshan was so furious because he had no troops to deploy; Zhao Wudi had already extracted the elite forces, and the faction’s elders were either killed by Chu Chen or captured by his side.

If the frontline doesn’t receive reinforcements, the Alliance can only shrink its defenses, eventually being devoured by the opposing forces.

The position of Alliance Hierarch he fought so hard to achieve was now utterly humiliating.

At this moment, his Communication Bracelet suddenly lit up, and it was an unfamiliar communication.

Calculating the time, he immediately connected the call.

"Sun Wenshan, the one-month deadline has arrived. I wonder what you’ve decided about the hostage exchange?"

"Chu Chen, I agree to it," Sun Wenshan suppressed his rage and said coldly.

"Five days later, Purple Luo Volcano, not waiting beyond that." After speaking, Chu Chen immediately hung up the call.

Listening to the busy signal from the Communication Bracelet, Sun Wenshan could no longer suppress his anger.

With a heavy palm slam on the table, he ordered coldly, "Issue a command to shrink the defensive offensive on the front lines, extending the battle line backward by one hundred miles."

"One hundred miles, Lord Alliance Leader, this is utterly inadvisable. Shrinking one hundred miles will impact dozens of small and medium-sized cities; how will we accommodate such a large number of civilians?" the operations officer said anxiously.

"Humph! Just do it, and dare I say another word, I’ll execute you now."

"Yes... yes, I’ll issue the order immediately."

After the operations officer left, a middle-aged man who had been sitting beside him spoke softly, "Grand Elder, there’s no need to be so furious, we can retake the lost defenses."

Sun Wenshan’s anger eased slightly upon hearing this, and he waved his hand, "I’m not angry about the front line, but about Chu Chen."

"Oh, that call just now came from Chu Chen."

"Exactly, five days from now, hostage exchange at Purple Luo Volcano. Hao Yan, immediately gather all Emperor-level experts within the Alliance; this farce should be ended."

"Very well, as part of the Divine Son sequence, I, the number two Divine Son, should also meet the sixth Divine Son." With that, Hao Yan left the conference room. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The time proposed by Chu Chen was meticulously considered; five days just barely enough for the other party to reach Purple Luo Volcano.

In this way, pulling manpower would be virtually impossible for the opponent.

In the Pale Mountain Range, after Chu Chen hung up the communication, Shi Feng quickly asked, "Sir, did Sun Wenshan agree?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "He’ll definitely come, as I’m his target."

Shi Feng’s expression changed dramatically upon hearing this, but just as he was about to inquire further, Chu Chen stopped him, "Enough, you’ll learn about it later. Right now, we must hurry to Purple Luo Volcano."

Upon hearing this, Shi Feng could only suppress his curiosity, nodding solemnly. They were about to confront the number one of the Alliance, with any carelessness leading to utter ruin.

A silent night passed, and the next day, everyone returned to Xuemei City, heading towards the direction of Purple Luo Volcano.

The captain responsible for guarding the Teleportation Array, upon seeing Chu Chen again, became exceedingly respectful.

Without waiting for Chu Chen to speak, he quickly activated the Teleportation Array.

Chu Chen was naturally very satisfied with this, and before leaving, he once again gave the captain a King Level Star Core.

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed, and after a burst of white light, Chu Chen and the others appeared in Purple Flame City.

This was a small city, just two hours away from Purple Luo Volcano.

As soon as they left the Teleportation Array, they encountered a middle-aged man.

He cupped his hands towards Chu Chen and said, "Lord Chu Chen, Elder Long sent me to meet you here." Then he took out Long Batian’s Token.

Chu Chen nodded upon hearing this and said, "Thank you."

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, the group passed through the empty streets and flew straight towards the outskirts.

"What happened here, why is there no one?"

"We’ve temporarily controlled this place, and the residents are staying indoors. Once this matter concludes, life here will naturally resume."

"Mm, that’s good."

Two hours later, Chu Chen finally arrived at Purple Luo Volcano.

Purple Luo Volcano’s body was black and purple, towering about ten thousand feet. The crater occasionally spewed purple-red flames, with lava roiling as if it could erupt at any moment.

The purple-red flames were the Purple Luo Fire, a mystical fire with temperatures far exceeding ordinary flames. Many strong individuals had attempted to tame it for personal use, but all failed, and thus Purple Luo Volcano earned its name.
