"Dong!
Dong! Dong! "Urgent footsteps came from all directions. The people in the periphery had sensed that the Scarlet Flame Chief's aura had disappeared and were rushing over.
After Chu Chaoyun landed, he saw the crowd rushing over. A strange look flashed in his eyes. Finally, he shook his head and gave up on the fight for the Demonic Core.
This was not the time to fight yet. The truly good things had not appeared in the Fire Li Sect.
If both sides were injured, it would only benefit the others. It was not worth it for a Demonic Core containing an Inferior Grade Demonic Flame.
Hua Yunfei split apart Sun Wei and Shi Feng with his sword. Then, he grasped the huge sword firmly and laughed, "This Holy Weapon is mine!"
Sun Wei and Shi Feng combined were not a match for Hua Yunfei, who had comprehended the ancient blood soul. In the end, he was more skilled and managed to snatch the Holy Weapon.
"Ka ca! Ka ca! "
However, just as he finished speaking, the huge sword began to shatter into pieces. After a while, only the hilt was left of the huge sword, which was still as good as before.
Hua Yunfei was completely stunned. He said in disbelief, "How can it be like this?"
Sun Wei and Shi Feng were both stunned as well. Then, they laughed loudly, "Hua Yunfei, it looks like you are not fated to obtain a Holy Weapon."
Ji Changkong said indifferently, "This Holy Weapon was not maintained properly and was used carelessly. Furthermore, it has been around for too long. It is normal for it to be damaged."
Hua Yunfei's face flushed red. He was extremely angry. He had not expected that the Holy Weapon that he had obtained after so much difficulty would end up in vain.
This was the same situation as in the Ancient Remnant. He had just snatched the Sky Splitting Sword, but the Holy Weapon automatically recognized him as its master. The Guiyi Marquis obtained it for nothing.
"Trash!"
Hua Yunfei shouted angrily and threw the sword hilt to the ground. The sword hilt rolled to Xiao Chen's feet.
Xiao Chen glanced at it and saw that the sword hilt had cracked. There seemed to be something in it. He glanced at Hua Yunfei and saw that he had given up on the sword hilt, so he picked it up.
Looking at the crowd that had gathered around him, Zhang Xuan did not immediately open the sword hilt. Instead, he quietly kept it in his bosom.
"Has the Scarlet Flame Chief been killed? Did Duanmuqing get the Mysterious Ice Flower? "
When the fifty people guarding the perimeter arrived, they immediately asked. The people present pointed to the Scarlet Flame Chief's corpse on the ground. The result was obvious.
Thud thud thud!
Four ice walls suddenly rose up from the mound. The ice walls quickly connected together to form a square-shaped ice palace, enveloping Duanmuqing's group of five tightly within it.
Duanmuqing is really cautious, Xiao Chen thought to himself. Things have already come to this point, yet he is still worried.
Everyone's gazes immediately gathered over. Someone said, "I heard that the Mysterious Ice Flower can only be completely plucked using a very special method. I wonder if Duanmuqing has grasped this method?"
Another person smiled and said, "What special method? As long as he cultivates the Mysterious Ice Incantation to the tenth layer, he will be able to easily pluck the Mysterious Ice Qi Transformation Stage. This is not a secret, it is just an inherited Martial Technique. Others cannot practice it."
"The Mysterious Ice Incantation is a peak Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique. Could it be that Duanmuqing has already cultivated it to the tenth layer? That is too horrifying."
"It should be true. Ever since she was defeated by Xiao Chen in Savage Forest, she has entered into a state of bitter cultivation. Her cultivation has increased at a terrifying rate."
"I wonder where that Xiao Chen is now. Duanmuqing swore that if she does not defeat him, she will not inherit the position of the Duanmu Clan's Princess."
After waiting for a long time, everyone started to feel bored. They started to chat about the Duanmu Clan. As they chatted, the topic actually shifted to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was speechless. He thought back to the day when he snatched away Duanmuqing's Space on the Heaven Soaring Platform.
Duanmuqing said to him, "Even if some things are yours, even if you take them away, you will spit them out."
It looks like I have really become her heart demon, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. Xiao Chen was her heart demon. Ji Changkong, the Guiyi Marquis, Hua Yunfei, and the others were his heart demons as well.
A large part of the reason why Xiao Chen accepted this mission was because he wanted to see for himself how strong these people were.
After all, it was difficult to gain a concrete understanding just by relying on Fatso's side of the story. It was better to see for himself before he could truly understand.
If he did not truly defeat these people, Xiao Chen would not have any thoughts of leaving the Great Qin Nation. This would leave an eternal regret in his heart, preventing him from cultivating his mental state to Consummation in the future.
"Look, Duanmuqing is coming out. Quickly get her to open the Fire Li Sect's remnant," someone with sharp eyes quickly said.
They saw the squarish ice house slowly melting. Duanmuqing and the others quickly walked out. The Profound Ice Flower on the mound had completely disappeared.
Hua Yunfei said sullenly, "Duanmuqing, you have already obtained the Profound Ice Flower. You can open the Fire Li Sect's remnant now, right?"
Seeing everyone's anxious gazes, Duanmuqing said calmly, "As you wish!"
Xiao Chen opened his hand and a boundless frost covered the mound. The specks of frost were like stars as they entered the mound. After a while, it turned into an ice mound.
"Boom!"
Duanmuqing clenched his fist tightly and the ice mound immediately exploded with a 'bang'. Countless ice shards scattered and fell to the ground.
The original mound disappeared and a dark hole appeared. The hole was so deep that the bottom could not be seen. A cold wind blew out from it.
"This is the entrance to the Fire Li Sect's remnant. I have already obtained the Profound Ice Flower. According to the agreement, I cannot enter the remnant, so I will take my leave first." After Duanmuqing spoke, he immediately turned and left.
Immediately, there were people who could not endure it any longer. They rushed towards the entrance of the cave. However, just as they reached the entrance, someone suddenly shouted, "Duanmu Qing, you cannot leave. If you leave, the Profound Ice Palace will follow. Do you want us to cross the Ink Mountain Range?"
Indeed, if Duanmuqing left, the Profound Ice Palace would definitely follow. Could it be that after they left, they would have to return through the core region of the Ink Forest?!
Although it was much less dangerous to travel on the ground than in the air, there was still the risk of death for the fatigued group of people who had just left the Ink Forest.
Nothing could compare to the safety of riding the Duanmu Clan's Profound Ice Palace. There was no need to worry at all. Going to the Profound Ice Palace meant that they would be safe.
Everyone reacted and quickly agreed, "Right, Duanmuqing, you cannot leave. Wait for us outside. You can leave only after we come out."
Duanmuqing raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at the person who spoke, "Since when can you order me around? I have already fulfilled my agreement. The Fire Li Sect's remnant is underground. Everything now has nothing to do with the Duanmu Clan."
Ji Changkong looked at the bottomless hole before looking at Duanmuqing. He said, "How about this? Duanmuqing, we do not know if this Fire Li Sect's remnant is real or fake. How about you come with us?"
Given this, it was equivalent to the agreement that Duanmuqing had made before he came to not enter the Fire Li Sect's remnant.
However, Xiao Chen could not blame Duanmu Qing for this. Duanmu Qing did not break her promise. She only used a trick that was not easy to see through.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself, It looks like it is as Hua Yunfei said. Duanmuqing might have taken advantage of everyone's actions this time.
However, this also proved that the Fire Li Sect's Profound Ice Palace was real. There was no need to waste time here.
The Duanmu Clan's Profound Ice Palace was not very attractive to Xiao Chen. It would not be a problem for him to walk out of the Ink Mountain Range with his own strength.
Even if he wasted some time, he would not mind it too much. He could just treat it as experiential training.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's gaze fell on Chu Chaoyun. He discovered that Chu Chaoyun had already reached the edge of the hole. Xiao Chen no longer hesitated and silently followed.
"Hu chi!"
While everyone was in a stalemate, Chu Chaoyun and Xiao Chen suddenly jumped into the hole. They were the first to enter the Fire Li Sect remnant.
"Who are these two people? Why are they so fast? Let's go quickly. Otherwise, all the good things will be snatched away by them."
"Damn it! Don't bother so much. We should hurry up. Fortuitous encounters do not wait for anyone."
Chu Chaoyun and Xiao Chen's actions immediately broke the stalemate. Many people no longer cared about how to leave. They all rushed to jump in.
Only a few of the calmer people did not jump in rashly. Instead, they waited for Duanmuqing's reaction.
Not to mention the problem of retreating, going down without any understanding of the Fire Li Sect remnant was not a wise move.
Since Duanmuqing was able to discover the Fire Li Sect remnant, he definitely had a better understanding of the Fire Li Sect remnant than the others. Furthermore, he had the Profound Ice Palace to back him up. There was no need to worry about breaking through the Ink Li Sect remnant.
Clearly, following Duanmuqing was the wisest decision at this point. Although they were unwilling, they had no other choice.
Duanmuqing muttered to himself for a while before saying, "It does not matter. I can accompany everyone to verify the authenticity of the Fire Li Sect remnant."
Xiao Chen's attitude indirectly hinted that everyone would have a chance to leave with the Profound Ice Palace. Sometimes, there was no need to be so direct. It was fine as long as everyone understood.
The few of them each harbored their own thoughts. Under Duanmuqing's lead, they slowly jumped into the deep hole.
"Weng!"
Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun landed on the ground at the same time. The two of them exchanged glances and ignored each other, focusing their attention on the scene before them.
