The three of them took turns to persuade her. The Lady Boss asked the three of them, "Do you want me to hide at the side and pretend nothing happened?"
Miao Yi advised, "Lady Boss, it's just some entertainment during the birthday banquet. It's not worth risking your life for it."
The Lady Boss seemed to have made up her mind. "There's no need to persuade me anymore. With the South Pole Ancestor watching from the side, there shouldn't be any danger to his life."
Miao Yi sighed and said, "Maybe it's not life-threatening, but you've seen what Fa Hao looks like for yourself. If you were burned to that state, the guests of Tempest Tavern would definitely be scared away."
The Lady Boss was annoyed and amused at the same time. However, women cared about their appearance the most. Glancing at Fa Hao's appearance, she felt a chill run down her spine. However, she still said stubbornly, "Don't worry. As long as he doesn't die, he can recover."
"Then you better be careful. Remember not to take it head-on." Miao Yi said, then went silent.
The stonemason and carpenter immediately glared at each other. I asked you to advise her, not to worry about what she would do.
Miao Yi immediately distanced himself from them and said, "What's the point of glaring at me? I tried to persuade him, but I couldn't! The Lady Boss has already made up her mind. It's useless to try persuading her. If you don't believe me, you two can try again. In any case, I can't persuade her. "
The two of them wanted to persuade her further, but the Lady Boss had already stopped them. "There's no need to persuade me any further. I've already made up my mind. If I don't act because the Yun Family's reputation has been tarnished, how will I have the face to return to the Great Devil Realm in the future?"
At this point, the stonemason and the carpenter had nothing to say. Miao Yi gave the two of them a meaningful glance, as though saying, 'I said you wouldn't budge. Do you believe me now?'
Who would have thought that his good intentions would be met with ill-will? Both of them glared at him. Miao Yi was speechless as he turned around to continue watching the match.
At this moment, Ji Detian had already retreated from the ice flames. His cultivation was also at the Purple Lotus Fourth Grade, but he still lost to Yun Guang. He was evenly matched with Fa Hao, but he paid the price for taking one more step than Fa Hao. His arm was similarly burned. Fortunately, the South Pole Old Ancestor was watching over him from the side.
However, it was enough to make the Carpenter and the others shudder in fear.
Hua Yu was next. Hua Yu's cultivation was the same as Hei Yun and Tang Jun. She was also at Purple Lotus Third Grade, but she wasn't as lucky as Hei Yun. Not to mention, she wasn't able to walk as far as the others before her. The consequences of forcing himself to take two more steps were equally painful. The Protective Shield of Dharma Shield had completely collapsed. Even though the Ancestor of the South Pole had acted in time, he still couldn't prevent a large area of his back from being burned. Even the white bones on his back could be seen clearly.
Miao Yi instinctively looked towards Tang Jun, who was about to go up next. He saw Yue Yao anxiously tugging at Tang Jun's arm. No one knew what they were talking about.
There was no need to guess. He was definitely telling Tang Jun not to take it head-on.
Miao Yi craned his neck to look at the resolute expression on the Lady Boss's face, and was instantly speechless.
He could see that none of them were afraid of losing, but they were afraid that they would not be able to report back if they did not try their best. Each of them made it seem as if they did not try their best if they did not suffer some injuries. It was clear that they were taking turns to harm themselves!
Just as he expected, Tang Jun risked half of his arm to burn and risked his life to go one step ahead of Hua Yu. In short, he couldn't be the last.
Tang Jun, who was quickly rescued by the South Pole Ancestor, could now report back. However, Yue Yao and the other Realm Beyond Heaven disciples were so anxious that they took out miraculous medicines to save him.
Now that the representatives from the Six Sages had finished competing, it was time for the representatives from the other families to step up. Everyone exchanged glances with one another. With so many casualties before them, it would be impossible for them not to be a little hesitant.
The Lady Boss took a deep breath. Without any hesitation, she was about to stand up, but she felt a grip on her arm. Turning around, she saw Miao Yi stealthily grabbing onto her wrist with a helpless expression.
The Lady Boss was instantly embarrassed and threw a tantrum. "Niu Er, what are you doing? Pulling at me in front of so many people is unbecoming! Let go of me! "
"Lady Boss! Can I not go?! "Miao Yi tightened his grip, unwilling to let go.
"Just because Yun Guang can't do it doesn't mean I can't. There must be something fishy going on. If I observe carefully, I might be able to defeat him. "
Miao Yi would have let it go if he hadn't seen the group of people before him injuring themselves. However, from the looks of it, it was needless to say that the Lady Boss was determined to follow in their footsteps. At first, Miao Yi didn't want to pay attention to such a self-inflicted wound. However, he couldn't bear to let this woman go even if he knew she was going to suffer. Thus, he grabbed onto her wrist and tried his best to persuade her once more.
The Lady Boss invoked her arts and shook off Miao Yi's hand. She was about to step up.
"Stop her. I'll go!" Miao Yi finally shouted out in a moment of desperation.
The three of them turned to look at him. The Lady Boss asked in surprise, "You'll go?"
Miao Xiao Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed helplessly, "Lady Boss, what good do I get out of knowing you? You're forcing me to throw my life away! If I, a man, let a woman take the risk even though I know you'll be in danger, then what's the meaning of that? I'm a member of Tempest Tavern anyway. If I show up, everyone will think you sent me. It's no different from you taking the lead. "
The Lady Boss immediately realized that he cultivated a fire-type cultivation art. She hurriedly asked, "Are you confident?"
"I cultivate a fire-type cultivation art after all. At the very least, I'm stronger than you. Let's give it a try."
"Didn't you say you didn't want to be in the limelight?"
"Of course I didn't want to be in the limelight. As long as you promise not to show up, I definitely won't. But will you listen to me? The problem is that you won't listen to me. It'll be a pity if your skin gets burned, but I'm thick-skinned, so I have no choice but to take the risk. But I'll say this first. If something happens to me, don't be stingy with any miraculous pills or medicine you have. Remember to save me in time! "
The carpenter and stonemason immediately nodded. "Don't worry. We'll definitely save you. Go. Go ahead and try."
To the two of them, it was better for Miao Yi to take the risk than the Lady Boss.
Down below, the South Pole Patriarch scanned the crowd and said, "If no one else is going, then forget it."
"Dammit, it's my bad luck getting to know you guys. I already said I wouldn't come here, but you guys just had to force me to come here. Aren't you just forcing me to do something beyond my capabilities?" Miao Yi grumbled to the three of them before leaping off the stage.
The crowd fell silent as soon as they saw him. The members of Tempest Tavern had made their move.
Yun Fei Yang excitedly said to Yun Guang, "Father, Big Sis is going to make her move! Big Sis is going to make a comeback! "
His confidence was based on Miao Yi's ability to locate the ice spirit in the previous round. In reality, many people had already assumed Miao Yi to be a hidden expert.
Yun Guang, on the other hand, was frowning. He had experienced the ice flames before, so he knew how dangerous it was. If the South Pole Patriarch hadn't set up some difficult rules, then it wouldn't have mattered much. However, once the rules were set, it would be no different from forcing someone to stand in the middle of the ice flames and let the flames burn them. It was extremely difficult, so Yun Guang didn't have much confidence. However, since the other party had already made his move, he could only wait and see.
The Four Hosts of the Sea of Constellations exchanged glances.
Yue Yao, who was guarding Tang Jun, also turned around to look at Miao Yi. Her gaze was complicated, filled with a mixture of hatred and nervousness.
The South Pole Patriarch sized up Miao Yi as he slowly walked over. Miao Yi shot him a glance, then brushed past him and stood not too far away from the ice flames.
The carpenter and stonemason were both very nervous.
The Lady Boss clenched her fists tightly. She was just as nervous as Miao Yi. Her bright eyes stared at Miao Yi, who was facing off against the ice flames. Suddenly, she recalled what Miao Yi had said earlier, 'Lady Boss, tell me, what good will it do me to know you? You're forcing me to die! '
Combined with the situation before her, the Lady Boss suddenly felt her heartstrings tremble. Her nose felt a little sour, and she felt strangely touched. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have risked his life …
Miao Yi moved his feet, his gaze cold as he walked towards the sea of ice flames once again. The closer he got, the colder it became. He could clearly feel the difference between the ice flames and normal flames. Normal flames could burn things, but this ice flame felt like it was being sliced by a thousand knives. It was destroying things in a way that disintegrated them.
When he felt that he couldn't take it anymore, he quickly used his fire control technique. He wasn't confident in this. He didn't know if the fire control technique he used to counter Yang flames would work on Yin flames. The only reason he dared to try was because he could absorb the ice flame spiritual essences.
There was no one to tell him what to do. He had to slowly figure it out on his own, not daring to advance.
The answer surprised Miao Yi. It actually worked! The invisible knives that felt like they were being sliced by a thousand knives were dispelled, and could no longer harm him.
With a little more confidence, Miao Yi walked up to the blue ice flame and tried again. After pushing a part of the raging ice flame inward, he finally let out a sigh of relief. After confirming that he could control it, Miao Yi strode in.
As soon as he entered the sea of fire, a barrier of transcendence energy appeared around his body. However, it wasn't what others saw. It wasn't a transcendence energy barrier. His cultivation wasn't strong enough to defend against the ice flames. Instead, he used his fire control technique to maintain a safe distance from the ice flames.
He wasn't in a hurry to move forward. Instead, he carefully stood within the ice flames, observing for any abnormalities. If he found anything out of the ordinary, he would run.
It wasn't hard to imagine that being burned by this fire wouldn't be comfortable. It would definitely be more painful than being burned by a normal fire. He didn't want to be careless and bring torment upon himself. He was someone who had almost been burnt to a crisp. He didn't want to experience it a second time.
However, when everyone saw this scene, they immediately looked at each other in shock. What was he doing here instead of rushing forward?
The Lady Boss bit her lip, her heart in her throat.
"Why is the kid standing there without moving?" The carpenter transmitted his voice to the stonemason.
The stonemason asked anxiously, "Is he in some kind of trouble? Is he having a hard time advancing or retreating?"
The two of them were on tenterhooks. Miao Yi's reckless behavior instantly caused their hearts to race.
Seated at the main table, the Four Constellations Masters exchanged glances. A slightly confused Fu Qing turned to Lie Huan and transmitted his voice to him, "Lie Huan. Can your fire control technique be effective against the ice flames?"
Lie Huan was taken aback. He didn't know why Fu Qing would ask such a question, so he replied, "No! Most fire control techniques are used against Yang flames. The ice flames are considered Yin flames, and the two types of flames are naturally incompatible. It's basically impossible to control both Yin and Yang flames at the same time. I've never heard of anyone being able to do so. I was born with the ability to control fire, but even I can't control the ice flames. I can only use Yang flames to suppress them! Why do you ask, Milord? "
