Pei Fengwu was not interested in Gong Zhangyan. Gong Zhangyan had grown even more stubborn and still could not let go, even after so many years had passed.
With Gong Zhangyan’s personality, if he had been called to be the mission team leader, there would have been an obvious bias towards Pei Fengwu. Moreover, this lad did not have any principles about treating Pei Fengwu fairly. It could be said that he was able to do anything. If Gong Zhangyan were to be the mission team leader, not only would Jin Ying be uneasy, Jun Wulei would as well.
“I don’t have an opinion.” Pei Fengwu nodded her head and was the first to express her agreement. Internally, she knew that at such a time, Jun Wulei was most suited to become the team leader. Her only motive for coming forth to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension this time was the spiritual fire. She did not want such things to affect this big affair.
“I don’t have any opinions either.” Jin Ying nodded her head. Only with Jun Wulei as the team leader would she be at ease.
“Initially, you don’t have any right to fight with me. But, the situation is unusual now. I am not a person with unreasonable demands. So, I will just let you have the position.” Gong Zhangyan glanced over at Jun Wulei. Considering his usual insanity, the fact that he was speaking so calmly now could only mean that he did not even care about Jun Wulei.
However, Pei Fengwu and Jin Ying were not surprised. Although Gong Zhangyan was crazy, he had the ability to get away with it. A year ago, Gong Zhangyan had been an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm. Back then, the rest of them were only at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing realm. They were always a step behind him.
“Since that is so, from now on, I will take on the role as the team leader. I will have the right to decide on anything major.” Jun Wulei raised his brows. He did not care about Gong Zhangyan’s crazy ways either. After all, everyone knew just how crazy he was. There was no point in going against him.
“A spiritual fire has appeared in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension,” Jun Wulei said. “Although we have rushed over immediately after receiving the news, we are still quite a bit slower than the ancient martial art practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Now, we have to immediately rush over to the Tan Zi Beast Lair. If we are too late, I am afraid something will happen.” His expression was solemn. Looking at it from the perspective of time, they did not have any advantage. If they arrived too late, it was very likely that they would have missed the chance to obtain the spiritual fire.
“You are overthinking this. Not everyone can handle the spiritual fire. Even with the four of us joining forces, we cannot be fully confident of doing so. How would a group of native people in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension even have such abilities?” Gong Zhangyan smiled coldly. Not only was power needed in handling the spiritual fire, but technique was also required. In a small inner world like the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, people who could handle the spiritual fire would probably be so few that they could be counted on one hand.
“Don’t underestimate this Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. There are always some unthinkable profundities whenever an inner world is formed and there are always people who are better than you think. Who would know if there are some hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this place?” Pei Fengwu knitted her brows slightly. She was not one who talked a lot. However, a mindset like Gong Zhangyan’s would likely lower their chances of obtaining the spiritual fire. The spiritual fire was an important affair and they could not afford for anything to go wrong. Nobody should be underestimated, much less in an inner world.
“Pei Fengwu makes a lot of sense. We will have to be cautious.” The moment Pei Fengwu spoke, Gong Zhangyan immediately smiled instead and nodded his head in agreement. All of his arrogance had been wiped out completely in an instant.
Jun Wulei rolled his eyes. It was fortunate that they had Pei Fengwu around so that she was able to tame this crazy man.
“Stop talking nonsense, let’s hurry on our way. If we delay things any longer, not just the spiritual fire would be affected, even the cows would have come home.” Jin Ying let out a humph. “I will say the ugly things first. There is only one spiritual fire. In the end, who it will belong to depends completely on our own capabilities. Once it belongs to someone, fighting for it is no longer allowed. If anyone breaks this agreement, don’t blame me for not holding myself back.”
She looked coldly at Gong Zhangyan and Pei Fengwu. She was not worried about Jun Wulei at all. Instead, she was worried that when Gong Zhangyan and Pei Fengwu were placed together, it would be a very huge threat to her. A crazy man like Gong Zhangyan was willing to do anything for Pei Fengwu. It was tough to guarantee that the two of them would not collaborate in stealing the spiritual fire.
There was only one spiritual fire so only one person could have it. That meant that amongst the four of them, only one person would end up having the spiritual fire. If it was not for the fact that they were too weak alone, making it difficult for them to obtain the spiritual fire from the natives of Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, it was impossible that they would even collaborate. In fact, the collaboration was nothing but an expedient measure.
Before the four of them had set out for Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, they had already come up with an agreement. They would form a small team and defend themselves against all outside forces. When they obtained the spiritual fire, they would rely on themselves and each demonstrate their own skills. The person who finally obtained the spiritual fire could compensate the other three people in other ways.
However, each and every one of the four were determined to obtain the spiritual fire. Nothing seemed to be able to compare to the spiritual fire and everyone clearly knew of that fact.
Based on rumors, the spiritual fire could allow one to become immortal. The fact that they could morph completely into an Immortal Cultivator had to be fake but it was not entirely so. Without a doubt, the spiritual fire could greatly increase the chances of an ancient martial art practitioner becoming immortal in the Creation Pagoda. That was because a long time ago, there was a person who possessed the spiritual fire that was able to successfully become immortal. Much of the reason for success was the spiritual fire.
Perhaps the normal ancient martial art practitioners did not know, but they all did; ancient martial art practitioners of their level would have the final goal of becoming immortal. Hence, nobody was willing to give up this chance.
“Naturally, the agreement is in effect. However, whoever gets the spiritual fire depends on our individual capabilities. Now, we have to rush over to the Tan Zi Beast Lair immediately.” Jun Wulei nodded his head.
Handling the spiritual fire was very difficult. The normal ancient martial art practitioners probably did not know, but because they hailed from Huatian Palace, they had access to a lot of information on it. At the same time, they had prepared a lot for this. However, not a single one of the four were confident that they could handle the spiritual fire.
During the time that Jun Wulei and his group of four were rushing over to the Tan Zi Beast Lair, a similar scene was occurring in the depths of the forest.
The space in the area had been contorted. Then, figures of people appeared out of nowhere. One person, two people, three people. In a moment, a whole seven people had walked out. Amongst the seven people, there were six dressed in bloodstained clothes. They were all dressed very oddly and only one person was in purple clothes. Naturally, there was an elegant aura exuding from that person.
“Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. I have not come to this inner world in a long time.” The person dressed in purple was old. His beard and hair had all turned white and he had a sharp nose and very deep eyes. They were just like swirls that could swallow someone.
“Master Wei, you’ve been to this space before?” A person behind the old man dressed in purple was surprised. The Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was not prominent amongst the many inner worlds. At the same time, not a lot of people paid attention to it. At least for him, it was his first time coming to this space. If not for the spiritual fire appearing here, he would be unlikely to come to this place in his entire life.
“Back then, it was because an ‘old friend’ was living in this space for a period of time. Tens of years have passed, I am not sure if that ‘old friend’ is still around.” An odd look flashed in the eyes of the old man in purple and he immediately became cold.
The surrounding people in bloodstained garments were momentarily stunned. Just who was his ‘old friend’ that could cause such fluctuations in Master Wei’s feelings? There was actually such a person in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
“It is said that the ancient martial art practitioners in this space are all very average. The strongest ones are only of the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm and there is not a single one in the final stage of the Golden Elixir realm. I believe that just one of us can handle the situation this time. We have troubled Master Wei to come down personally. This is simply making too little use of great talent.”
A bearded man who was about 50 years of age smiled unwittingly. Clearly, he did not care much for the ancient martial art practitioners in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
“Shi Kui, don’t be a know-it-all. Since I have chosen to come down personally, I naturally have my reasons. A long time ago, I sustained serious injuries before returning and I had to meditate in seclusion for tens of years before my injuries recovered fully. It was in this very place that I sustained those serious injuries.” Wei Chifeng glanced over at Shi Kui coldly. If things had been so simple, he would not have personally made a trip down.
Upon hearing that, the surrounding people in bloodstained clothes breathed out coldly., Master Wei had actually sustained his injuries in this place. It was simply unbelievable. Only they knew just how powerful Master Wei was. There were very few people amongst ancient martial art practitioners that could be stronger than him.
“Master Wei, you are right,” Shi Kui immediately lowered his head and bowed respectfully.
“Shi Kui, you also know just how important the spiritual fire is to Young Master. The task this time is to be successful. We cannot afford any failures. Restrain that arrogant mindset of yours. The Green Ancient Mystery Dimension is not as simple as it appears to be on the surface. There are dangers not only if you are just of the final stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Even if one was at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm, they would still face a very big threat.”
“Moreover, other than the native ancient martial art practitioners of Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, did you think the other forces would not be attracted by the news of this appearance of the spiritual fire? I am afraid that we are not the only people who have come from afar.” Wei Chifeng crossed his arms behind his back as he gazed far into the distance. It was as though he could make out something from the emptiness.
An old man, who was the height of a child, began to speak. “Master Wei, since our Demonic Sky has attacked, we naturally cannot allow for any failures. Don’t talk about the native ancient martial art practitioners of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Even those ancient martial art practitioners from the bigger inner worlds would find things challenging when pitted against us. With your Cultivation, there are only a few people amongst the ancient martial art practitioners who are a worthy match for you. Moreover, us people of the Demonic Sky are not your normal ancient martial art practitioners.”
Although this old man did not look like much, from the expressions of the surrounding people, one could tell that he was of the highest status apart from that Master Wei.
“That’s right, if we exclude Huatian Palace, other than Ghost Lair and Demon Native, nobody can compare to us Demonic Sky. Master Wei is a great ancient martial art practitioner. In the great inner world, I’m afraid there are not many people who are daring enough to go against you.” Shi Kui nodded his head.
“People of the Ghost Lair don’t like the spiritual fire. It is impossible that they would waste their resources in trying to fight for it. As for the people of Demon Native, they disappeared without a trace 100 years ago. Nobody knows where they have gone to hide. Hence, there is a very low chance that they will appear. Meanwhile, I do not know what Huatian Palace’s stance on this is. If they are interested in the spiritual fire, our task will become a little tougher.” Wei Chifeng spoke in a rather low voice. Although they hailed from Demonic Sky, he still had to admit that they were weaker than Huatian Palace. If Huatian Palace wasn’t so strong, those people of Demon Native would not have disappeared for a century, and Demonic Sky would not have to always be so cautious, only doing things secretly.
