Two minutes to Changbai Mountain?! What kind of incredible speed is that?!

Inside the conference room, upon hearing the secretary's report, the Four Elders' expressions suddenly turned solemn.

Precisely because they knew the situation at Changbai Mountain's Tianchi Volcano was complex and tricky, they had dispatched the strongest members of the Kunlun Squad, currently in the Great Xia military, to undertake the exploration mission.

They had thought this was a foolproof arrangement, but how could it have gone wrong so quickly?

"That shouldn't be!"

"Captain Chen Gang, that kid, is already at the fifth stage of Body Tempering; his Qi strength, if not capable of splitting mountains and cracking rocks, is close enough."

"The other team members he took are also the strongest few in the Kunlun Squad; it shouldn't be that they can't even complete an exploration mission, right?"

The Second Elder frowned deeply, completely perplexed.

"What is the current situation inside the Tianchi Volcano?" the Grand Elder asked in a deep voice.

"According to analysis, the Tianchi Volcano is still in a stable dormant state, with no signs of eruption inside it," the secretary replied quickly.

"How long have the Kunlun Squad members been out of contact?" the Second Elder pressed.

"Since the last communication, it has been two hours and forty-eight minutes," the secretary reported precisely.

"Has the Changbai Mountain Command Base not tried to take any measures?"

"According to Academician Liu, stationed at the temporary command base at Changbai Mountain's Tianchi, the temperature inside the exploration tunnel we drilled is rapidly increasing due to an unknown reason."

"After several attempts, they found that existing equipment and personnel were unable to take any effective rescue measures, hence they urgently requested assistance."

After listening to the secretary's report, Several Elders' brows furrowed even deeper.

"This..."

"Several Grandfathers, I'll go," Lin Xiyue stepped forward, saying with a serious expression, just as Several Elders were at a loss.

"No matter what, they are students I personally taught; as an instructor, I can't just stand by and watch something happen to them!"

"Alas... this situation, in the end, still requires Girl Yue to personally make a trip."

The Second Elder's face was full of helplessness.

"If we had known the Tianchi Volcano was so strange, we should have let Several Dao Masters go ahead and scout it first."

The exploration operations of the other volcanoes had proceeded exceptionally smoothly; they hadn't even needed to use the Kunlun Squad, their trump card.

But who would have thought that the Tianchi Volcano, where Kunlun Squad members were deployed, would straightforwardly go wrong?

This was truly something he had never expected.

"It seems we still underestimated the uniqueness of the Tianchi Volcano," the Grand Elder slowly said.

He turned to look at Lin Xiyue, his attitude suddenly becoming firm: "Xiyue, are you able to take us old fellows to Changbai Mountain to see the situation?"

"Ah, Great Grandfather, are you all going too?"

Lin Xiyue was slightly taken aback.

"Alright, alright, then follow me."

Seeing the determined expressions on the Four Elders' faces, Lin Xiyue didn't have time to persuade them further.

The Kunlun Squad members had been out of contact for nearly three hours, their fate unknown; every minute of delay meant more danger.

She had to race against time!

Thinking this, Lin Xiyue dashed out of the conference room and onto the plaza outside, with the Four Elders close behind her.

"Xiao Jin, enlarge!"

At her command, the normally sized Xiao Jin glowed brightly, instantly transforming into a majestic giant a hundred meters tall, and extended his massive right hand.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue didn't hesitate at all, directly tearing open a spatial rift, and instantly appeared on Xiao Jin's giant hand, bringing the Four Elders who hadn't yet reacted.

A soft spiritual energy shield rose from Xiao Jin's hand, completely enveloping them.

"Several Grandfathers, hold on tight, we're leaving now!" Lin Xiyue reminded them with a serious face.

Before the Four Elders could react, Xiao Jin shot up from the ground, transforming into a golden stream of light, and sped towards the direction of Changbai Mountain's Tianchi at an unimaginable speed... Beside Changbai Mountain's Tianchi Volcano, with a dull roar, Xiao Jin landed steadily, then gently placed his right hand on the ground.

"Alright, Several Grandfathers, we're here!"

"Come down quickly."

Lin Xiyue lightly jumped down from Xiao Jin's hand, shouting to the Four Elders on his hand.

However, at this moment, the Four Elders remained motionless, as if they had collectively turned to stone.

"???"

"What? Where are we?"

"Where did this bring us??"

"Is this still within Great Xia?!"

The Second Elder was the first to regain his senses; he stared blankly at the snow-capped mountains around them and the mirror-like blue lake not far away, his mind filled with nothing but bewilderment.

If his perception wasn't mistaken, it seemed... only two or three minutes had passed from leaving the Taibai Mountain Base to arriving here, right?

Two or three minutes, and you tell me we've arrived?

Flying directly from the Taibai Mountain Base in the northwest to Changbai Mountain in the northeast?

Crossing more than half of Great Xia?

What kind of international joke is this?!

What kind of abnormal speed is this?!

"Oh, Several Grandfathers, don't just stare blankly, we're at the Tianchi Volcano!"

Seeing their dazed expressions, Lin Xiyue was a little exasperated.

"Come down quickly, I see the base over there, you all go by yourselves, I'll take Xiao Jin to rescue them first."

She knew that the Four Several Grandfathers were startled by Xiao Jin's Heaven-Defying speed, but there was no time to explain.

So she waved her hand, and a gentle force sent the Four Elders to the ground, then she took Xiao Jin, who had shrunk to human height, tore open the Void Realm, and instantly vanished.

For a moment, only the Four Elders, still doubting reality, were left on the spot, looking at each other.
