Chapter 1524: Chapter 1521: Feifei in Trouble

Two of them had their arms blown off by the fire bomb, now screaming in agony, while Kuang Chenggong and others sustained some minor injuries.

Taking advantage of the Fire Qilin attacking others, Wu Jun, Kuang Chenggong, and Li Wei quickly dragged two lightly injured companions away. The Fire Qilin didn’t want to kill those who were injured; after all, earlier Pure Yang Feifei only told it to intimidate them, and if someone actually died, it might end up angering her.

It’s worth knowing how heaven-defying she is, as even its most powerful fire attribute energy attacks didn’t affect her at all. Who knows, maybe she could instantly kill it with just a flick of her finger.

Thinking of this, the Fire Qilin shivered and immediately retreated back to its lair, never daring to come out again.

Meanwhile, Kuang Chenggong and Wu Jun escaped from the cave entrance in a miserable state and saw Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting, along with their group, leisurely waiting, which left them dumbfounded.

Especially Kuang Chenggong, who initially intended to harm Chen Tianlong, but instead ended up hurting himself.

Although he didn’t know exactly what happened, why the Fire Qilin suddenly changed its attack target, or why they weren’t harmed at all, he could sense that a fierce battle had definitely occurred, as Chen Tianlong and Wu Guangzu showed signs of fighting, with several small pits on the ground.

Kuang Chenggong realized he was set up by Chen Tianlong and others, but he couldn’t blame them as he brought this upon himself.

How could you explain the Fire Qilin attacking you when we were hiding safely in the cave, only to suddenly turn around and attack us?

If he said that, cooperation was impossible, as both Kuang Chenggong and Wu Jun were surprised when they noticed two pieces of scales on the ground. After all, the Fire Qilin was such an impressive being that it was shocking they managed to subdue it.

However, since they had obtained the task materials, the mission was considered complete, although the two injured people in the cave likely couldn’t proceed. Kuang Chenggong directly fired a signal flare skyward, specifically for rescuing, so Master Wuchen and others would soon send professionals to carry them out.

Chen Tianlong collected the scales with a cloth and placed them into a small waist pouch he carried with him.

At this time, Kuang Chenggong walked over, forcing a slight smile and said, "Chen Tianlong, brother, you truly deserve to be our captain. You even subdued the mighty Fire Qilin, truly impressive."

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment. It’s just luck, hehe, merely luck!"

Chen Tianlong didn’t want Kuang Chenggong to know the truth; since he believed it was Chen Tianlong, he might as well use this to intimidate them, letting them mistakenly think his prowess was formidable, so they wouldn’t dare plot against him recklessly again.

"Chen Tianlong, brother, you’re too modest. We barely have time to worship you."

Kuang Chenggong felt unease in his heart, not only could Chen Tianlong handle the Fire Qilin, but he also drove it back into the cave, injuring and maiming his own people; he had truly marked Chen Tianlong with a grudge.

However, thinking of the upcoming tasks where he might avenge himself, he felt considerably comfortable, "Alright, let’s set off to the Divine Dragon Temple."

Everyone had a map of the mission, where each group would encounter the divine beasts marked on the map, but they may vary, with groups either being wiped out entirely or having obtained Fire Qilin scales smoothly.

It was hard to say, depending on how you approached the task.

Originally, if so many of them joined forces to attack, they could complete the mission as the tasks left by the predecessors were surely achievable, the key was whether the group could unite.

If all twelve Celestial Dao Seven-Star Great Perfection experts worked together, they’d definitely complete the task, albeit with some difficulty.

"Alright, let’s go,"

Chen Tianlong nodded. As the task was complete, there wasn’t much delay in moving to the next mission, especially since it was only just afternoon, two or three o’clock, with some time before it got dark.

Kuang Chenggong led the remaining three ahead, with Chen Tianlong journeying with Wu Mengting and Pure Yang Feifei in the middle, and Wu Guangzu, Shi Wenlong, and Wu Jun bringing up the rear.

Wu Jun didn’t know what to say; earlier at the Immortal Sword Demon Realm’s entrance, he boldly claimed to be with Chen Tianlong, but at the Fire Qilin cave, he showed neutrality, helping neither side, confusing Wu Guangzu and Shi Wenlong. ℯℯ𝑙.

They didn’t know whether to trust Wu Jun as a friend or see him as an enemy.

Obviously, Wu Jun noticed this, so he calmly stepped beside Wu Guangzu and Shi Wenlong.

"The two of you, I didn’t step out of the cave for a reason. I had noticed Kuang Chenggong and his group scheming to disrupt us, so under those circumstances, I intentionally stayed to monitor them, preventing them from freely executing their plan."

Wu Jun spoke earnestly with furrowed brows, appearing sincere and worried, which softened Wu Guangzu upon seeing his expression and led him to nod trustingly.

Shi Wenlong had a wry smile; he didn’t quite believe Wu Jun, but given his words, there wasn’t much choice but to trust him. He was just there to increase the numbers for the trial.

If he could inadvertently enter the Immortal Realm, he would then have the ability to confront Kuang Chenggong and the power behind him; the Wu Family had suffered enough, and its revival now relied solely on this trial.

The team had gone from twelve to ten, weakening their combat strength; however, it was beneficial for Chen Tianlong as the extra numbers posed no good intentions and could only make him more dangerous.

The party continued walking along the mountain road, the scenery remained familiar, like an immortal realm, yet not actually one, similar to an immortal realm but instead a demon realm.

The Immortal Qi here served as a silent enemy for the average cultivator, constantly posing a threat, as it attempted to penetrate their bodies without their resistance reaching a critical point; once absorbed by the skin to a certain degree, it became notably apparent.

As they walked, Pure Yang Feifei suddenly felt heat surging within her, causing her body to flush with heat.

In no time, Feifei’s face turned as red as a cooked lobster, and Chen Tianlong, chatting with Mengting, casually glanced at Pure Yang Feifei’s complexion, immediately startled.

"Feifei, what’s wrong?"

Chen Tianlong stepped over to see Pure Yang Feifei, deeply concerned; earlier the Fire Qilin’s attack confused him as Feifei remained unaffected by the powerful fire attribute onslaught, but now that she finally showed symptoms, Chen Tianlong’s eyebrows furrowed.

At this moment, others also halted, for a teammate in trouble meant they couldn’t proceed.

Wu Jun, Wu Guangzu, and others quickly approached, observing Pure Yang Feifei’s flushed appearance, particularly her conspicuous white dress making her seem eerily frightening.
