Following that, Duan Gujin asked Tie Yi to take him to the volcano crater they had chosen beforehand.
After examining the crater to ensure its suitability, Duan Gujin threw a giant boulder down it.
Once the boulder had fallen to a certain height, Duan Gujin concentrated his mind and activated the Thunder Absolute Array within the stone.
A moment later, he heard a thunderous boom from below as the volcano suddenly erupted.
Very quickly, rolling molten lava spewed forth from the volcano.
Upon witnessing this, Duan Gujin ordered Tie Yi to make a rapid escape with him.
He didn't know how the volcanic cluster would develop next; he had no idea.
Tie Yi, who was equally tense, was swiftly evacuating with Duan Gujin while keeping her Divine Sense locked onto the volcanic cluster below.
In her heart, she hoped even more that Duan Gujin would trigger the entire volcanic cluster spanning dozens of kilometers to explode and completely obliterate the Hua Hun Clan beneath.
She heard the relentless booming and saw the sky-darkening black dust spew from the volcanoes below.
The Hua Hun Clan members living under the volcanic cluster also saw the terrifying eruption, fearing the erupting volcanoes would bury them in magma.
They fled in panic.
Despite escaping as soon as the eruption began, the volcanic eruption was so rapid that molten lava quickly began to flow from the collapsed craters.
The energy explosion inside the volcano drove the molten lava to flow as swiftly as breached floodwater, quickly submerging some Hua Hun Clan members who couldn't escape in time.
When Duan Gujin and Tie Yi saw numerous tribal dwellings of the Hua Hun Clan being swallowed by the volcano, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing more Hua Hun Clan members devoured by the lava, and more of their tribes destroyed, Tie Yi felt more and more delighted.
Over the years, their Xingyu Clan had been waging war against the Hua Hun Clan with countless deaths and injuries; she naturally loathed the Hua Hun Clan.
Now that she was witnessing the extermination of the Hua Hun Clan, she felt ecstatic beyond words.
They didn't dare to relax, continuing their rapid escape, not wanting to be obliterated by the erupting volcanic magma.
Many Hua Hun Clan members immediately sent messages to Hai Fu at Yan Tianguan; after pondering for a moment, he immediately led a group of subordinates back to the Hua Hun Clan at top speed.
He knew that the Hua Hun Clan residing beneath the expansive volcanic cluster spanning dozens of kilometers was indeed in grave danger.
If the entire volcanic cluster erupted, the entire Hua Hun Clan might face extinction.
He had no choice but to do so. The Hua Hun Clan's strength was not strong, but they had to face two powerful species. Only by settling beneath the volcanoes could they avoid direct conflict with the Netherworld Dark Clan, thereby seizing the opportunity to strengthen themselves and then counterattack the Xingyu Clan.
Settling under the volcanic cluster was a desperate measure for the Hua Hun Clan.
He had previously contemplated what catastrophe they would face if that volcanic cluster really erupted one day.
He knew in his heart that if this really happened, the Hua Hun Clan would be in dire peril.
Half a day later, he returned with a group of subordinates to the Hua Hun Clan.
When he saw that everything in front of him was covered in magma, he was dumbfounded, and his heart began to beat violently.
"It's over! The Hua Hun Clan is doomed!"
He was acutely aware that this time he had almost ventured out with all his eggs in one basket, taking most of the Hua Hun Clan's elite with him and leaving the elderly, weak, and sick behind in the tribe. Now, he saw the entire Hua Hun Clan buried in the volcano's molten lava.
"Everyone, quickly go see how many clan members have escaped!"
The next moment, Yan Tianguan ordered his subordinates to disperse and search for the clan members.
Soon, they found the survivors.
When they saw that only a thousand or so clan members had escaped, Yan Tianguan was stricken with grief and anger.
"Oh heavens! Why did this happen?"
After a round of questioning, Yan Tianguan quickly learned that before the volcanic eruption, some of the top experts left in the tribe had been attacked.
Upon hearing this news, Yan Tianguan immediately thought that the eruption of those volcanoes was likely not an accident, but very possibly the work of the attackers who raided the tribe.
"Who on earth infiltrated our tribe?"
After careful analysis, Yan Tianguan felt that it was very likely the doing of the Xingyu Clan.
"Logically speaking, the Netherworld Dark Clan would not dare to infiltrate our tribe! Yes, it must have been the Xingyu Clan!"
The more he thought about it, the more Yan Tianguan wished to completely annihilate the Xingyu Clan.
After escaping from the Hua Hun Clan's tribe, Duan Gujin released Hai Fu and Salt Field's Soul Seat.
Upon their release, he immediately took Tie Yi towards the gathering place of the Qiankun Continent's martial artists.
After Duan Gujin left, Hai Fu decisively striked at Salt Field with several blows.
"I won't let you live! You must die!"
Hai Fu knew that Salt Field had always been the previous Clan Leader of the Hua Hun Clan, and his previous surrender was due to being controlled by the Soul Transformation Seal.
Now that he had reclaimed his Soul Seat, once he encountered Yan Tianguan again, he would surely reveal everything that had happened to him.
Once Yan Tianguan knew the truth, he would definitely find a scapegoat.
He might not act against his own father, but he would definitely execute Hai Fu on the spot, and then Yan Tianguan could shift the responsibility for the devouring of the Hua Hun Clan onto Hai Fu.
Hai Fu naturally would not sit idly by to face death; he took decisive action and cut down Salt Field with a swift stroke.
Seeing that Duan Gujin had released the Soul Seats of those two from the Hua Hun Clan, Tie Yi was filled with confusion.
After they moved far away from the two Hua Hun Clan members, she quickly transmitted her voice secretly to ask.
"Master, why did you release those two from the Hua Hun Clan?"
A glint flashed in Duan Gujin's eyes as he said to her, "The reason I released them was because I want them to fight and kill each other! Look!"
Tie Yi projected her Divine Sense outward and quickly saw Hai Fu slash down Salt Field with his blade.
After killing Salt Field, Hai Fu rapidly fled the scene.
Seeing this, Tie Yi took a sharp breath, her eyes flashing as she asked, "Master, aren't you afraid that they will leak our whereabouts?"
Duan Gujin shook his head slightly and said, "Between the two of them, Hai Fu has the strongest strength, and I fully trust that he definitely has the ability to kill Salt Field! Hai Fu does not want Yan Tianguan to know that he betrayed the Hua Hun Clan, so, he must kill Salt Field! And as for Salt Field, he could easily shift the blame for the destruction of the Hua Hun Clan onto Hai Fu! This way, Hai Fu is certain to die! I believe, he absolutely does not want to die, so, he will decisively kill Salt Field!"
"So that's how it is!"
After listening to Duan Gujin's words, Tie Yi nodded heavily, her heart analyzing that what Duan Gujin said was completely correct.
"I had previously asked Salt Field and others from the Hua Hun Clan, and they said they hadn't found any humans! So, I do not need to worry about any human warriors tragically dying in the recent volcanic eruption!"
