Chapter 918 - 295: Xiubai’s Fate

What is ambition?

This thought lingered in Li Honghu’s mind for a long time, and finally he seemed to have found the answer, with a peculiar smile appearing on his face as he pursued Ning Zhen.

Flame Lake City was thoroughly destroyed by the Fire Phoenix, with everything buried under the scorching magma.

The two of them searched in the magma for a long time, but in the end, they only found a small amount of lower grade Earth Fire Crystal Marrow.

This was because the Fire Phoenix’s way of digging for Earth Fire Crystal Marrow was too crude at the time, causing some remnants to be left around the ore vein.

At the edge of the new magma lake formed by Flame Lake City, Ning Zhen, her face hidden by a white veil, looked at the dim Earth Fire Crystal Marrow in her hand with a somewhat grim expression.

The Three Flavors True Fire, among other things, is a very important means for cultivators.

It can not only be used in alchemy, artifact refining, and array setting, but can also be incorporated into certain mystical techniques and divine powers, forming powerful offensive techniques.

In the Cangmin Sea Region, due to the incomplete Dao, without entering the Dao Source Secret Realm, the highest realm for a cultivator is the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

For countless years, limited by this situation, the older generation of cultivators has focused more on how to enhance their offensive and defensive techniques in the same realm.

The Three Flavors True Fire is one of the means recognized in the cultivation realm of the Cangmin Sea Region that can significantly enhance offensive capabilities.

Unfortunately, the conditions for cultivating this fire are rather harsh. Besides certain requirements on one’s aptitude, the auxiliary materials are also hard to obtain.

Some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the outside world that can cultivate these special abilities have long been hyped to sky-high prices.

As one of the main treasures for cultivating the Three Flavors True Fire, Earth Fire Crystal Marrow has always been a priceless existence in the major markets outside.

Ning Zhen did not expect that her cautiousness would cause her to miss out on a large amount of Earth Fire Crystal Marrow beneath Flame Lake City.

"Senior Sister, what should we do now?"

Li Honghu’s Bright Moon Profound Light Body is not suitable for cultivating the Three Flavors True Fire, but if he has Earth Fire Crystal Marrow in hand, he can exchange it for materials to cultivate the Profound Magnetic Divine Light from other cultivators.

After all, treasures like these are usually very difficult to buy with Spirit Crystals.

"Please, junior brother, act as my Guardian, I will use the Heavenly Eye Tracking Technique to investigate and see who exactly took the Earth Fire Crystal Marrow from under the city."

After contemplating for a long time, Ning Zhen spoke solemnly.

Clearly, she did not want to easily give up the Earth Fire Crystal Marrow and intended to find out who’s holding the items. She planned to reconsider taking action when reinforcements from her sect arrived.

Hearing this, Li Honghu nodded, and with a flash of light in his hand, he took out a dazzling silver spear.

The spear seemed to be made entirely of transparent crystal, with a halo flowing on the spear body, miraculously transforming from a crescent to a full moon.

This vision proved that the spear was very compatible with Li Honghu’s special physique.

Seeing him take out the spear and make preparations, Ning Zhen’s spiritual power gradually surged on the surface, and her figure slowly ascended into the sky, sitting cross-legged in the void.

A large amount of spiritual power emerged from behind her, slowly forming a giant, fiery red vertical pupil.

The vertical pupil emitted dazzling red light, and under Ning Zhen’s control, it slowly scanned over the magma lake that Flame Lake City had become.

...

Yunshui City.

Not long after everyone who had hurried back from Flame Lake City entered the city, a strange sensation of being watched suddenly surfaced in Shen Wen’an’s heart.

He halted and suspiciously looked at the distant night sky.

Wei Qiuling and Fire Phoenix, following by his side, also curiously stopped at this sight.

"Husband, what is the matter?"

As Wei Qiuling’s puzzled voice sounded, Fire Phoenix also seemed to sense something amiss.

"Is someone using a secret skill to spy on us?"

Shen Wen’an slightly nodded, his mind stirring.

In an instant, a giant cyan lotus suddenly appeared in the night sky!

At the same time, at the edge of the magma lake formed by Western Wilderness Flame Lake City, Ning Zhen, sitting cross-legged in the void, was observing the scene of the city’s destruction through the fiery red vertical pupil.

However, just as she was seeing Fire Phoenix’s giant form rampage through Flame Lake City and Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling’s backs, before she could use the Heavenly Eye Tracking Technique to see their true faces clearly, a giant cyan lotus abruptly emerged from the fiery red vertical pupil!

The swaying lotus leaves covered the sky, and the giant bud bloomed instantly, sending sharp Sword Qi slicing indiscriminately in all directions!

The sudden change greatly shocked Li Honghu, and his body flashed, soaring into the air. The miraculous spear in his hand continuously wielded, slashing out crescent-shaped blades to shatter the rampant Sword Qi around.

Perhaps due to the extremely distant span of time and space, or maybe Shen Wen’an just intended to teach the spy a lesson, the Sword Qi contained within the Sword Intent Cyan Lotus was not too strong.

After Li Honghu shattered all the Sword Qi, he flashed to Ning Zhen’s side.

Seeing the red bloodstain seeping through the white veil on Ning Zhen’s face, a trace of worry flashed across his face as he said, "Senior Sister, are you alright?"

Ning Zhen slowly stood up, her eyes flashing with a strange color as she faintly smiled, "Senior Sister is fine, just that the secret skill was forcibly interrupted, causing some disturbance in my vital energy and blood."

Hearing this, the worry in Li Honghu’s eyes eased slightly, but was soon replaced by a sense of rage!

"Do you know who did it, Senior Sister?"

"Once our master arrives, Honghu will certainly plead with the master to personally take action and seek justice for you, Senior Sister!"
