"A bunch of nonsense!" Before Ling Dong's voice had even landed, a cultivator in scarlet armor strode into the hall and pointed at Ling Dong as he sternly reprimanded him!
Seeing this martial artist in scarlet armor stride in, the Left and Right Prime Ministers, who were waiting in the hall, cupped their hands in greeting, "Western Marshal!"
"Western Marshal!"
"Yes!" The warrior known as the Western Commander snorted in response to the greetings of the Left Minister and the Right Minister. He nodded his head slightly, not even bothering to address them. Then, he strode in front of the white-browed and drooping cheeks Elder of the Illusionary Waves Region and cupped his hands in greeting, "Elder of the Region."
Even though the Left and Right Ministers tried their best to show that they were on equal footing with the cultivator called the Western Marshal, their respectful greetings were not on the same level as the other party's careless response. The Left and Right Ministers, who used to be very powerful in the Vermillion Bird Star System, had an inexplicable awkwardness on their faces, especially in front of their old friend, Ling Dong.
Fortunately, when the elder of the Illusionary Waves Realm nodded, the Western Marshal in red armor immediately turned around and pointed at Ling Dong again. "A bunch of nonsense! The Wood Puppet Realm is going through a huge change, yet you dare to use Heavenly Lord Di as a shield? This marshal can't help but suspect your intentions! "
The crimson armored Xi Shuai's shout had, to a certain extent, resolved the awkwardness between the Left Minister and the Right Minister. However, the crimson armored Xi Shuai's shout caused Ling Dong's expression to suddenly change.
"What do you mean? The Wood Puppet Realm is going through a huge change? What do you mean? "Ling Dong's expression changed as he asked anxiously.
The Western Marshal in red armor saw Ling Dong's expression change. The Western Marshal in red armor pointed at Ling Dong as if he had found solid evidence and scolded, "What? Did I hit the nail on the head? Why are you pretending? You must know that the World of Wood Puppets has undergone a drastic change and that Heavenly Lord Di of the World of Wood Puppets is missing. That's why you used him as a shield! "
"What? Heavenly Lord Di's whereabouts are unknown? " When he heard this news, Ling Dong's heart went cold, and he asked anxiously. "What's the situation in the Golem World? Do you have any news about Di Nankun? How are the sects in the Wooden Puppet Realm doing? "
Ling Dong fired off a barrage of questions. The anxiety in his heart could no longer be described with words.
Although there were no clansmen of Ling Dong's in the Wooden Puppet Realm, there were still Di Nankun, Shi Qianbi, Bu Yangming, and the others who were as close as brothers with Ling Dong. Not to mention the Martial Uncles of True Dipper Sect, Huo Lin and Hei Tian, who had helped Ling Dong grow.
In short, the Wooden Puppet World was closely related to Ling Dong. There were too many people who were related to Ling Dong. For example, Kui Xing Lou was also related to Ling Dong.
As for the consequences of Heavenly Lord Di's whereabouts being unknown and the whereabouts of the sixth Imperial Star Ring, Ling Dong didn't even think about it.
"Pretentious, pretentious!" The Western Marshal in the red armor pointed at Ling Dong and sneered. "You're really good at pretending! If it weren't for the fact that the two people you brought were inexplicably killed and that the information you brought was a little fake, I would've tortured and killed you on the spot. That would be your blessing! "
"Tortured and killed?" Ling Dong was angered by these two words. Even a clay figurine would have a temper. If it weren't for the overall situation and the Vermillion Bird Star Domain, Ling Dong would've gone all out and fought to the death before talking to these arrogant fellows.
All these years in the Long An Realm, Ling Dong had been in the supreme position. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? Not to mention that Ling Dong had come with good intentions. Not only had he been framed repeatedly, but he had also been ridiculed repeatedly.
Fortunately, Ling Dong knew that if he really started a war with the Vermillion Bird Star Domain, the one who would laugh the loudest would be the one behind the scenes. Ling Dong even had the thought of going all out. After all, he had more than a dozen half-step Zhou Tian orthodox gods under him.
"What? You're still not convinced?" Seeing Ling Dong utter these two words with extreme dissatisfaction, the Western Marshal in the red armor narrowed his eyes and leaned forward slightly. It seemed like he was going to teach Ling Dong a lesson if Ling Dong dared to be stubborn again.
Ling Dong raised his head slightly and said coldly, "If you want to torture and kill me, you have to have the ability first!" Ling Dong knew that if he kept backing down, these fellows would only get worse and worse!
"Ability?" The corner of Xi Shuai's mouth suddenly revealed a smile that was not a smile, but killing intent overflowed from the corner of his mouth. With a light flick of his finger, an illusory cold flame suddenly flew towards Ling Dong.
Seeing this, Bai Bai Xuan and Gui Qianshan's expressions changed. They exchanged glances and came up with a plan. Gui Qianshan stepped forward slightly and his Black Tortoise Shell lit up. He was going to block the attack for Ling Dong.
"Qianshan, step back!" At this moment, Ling Dong suddenly stepped forward. He actually wanted to block the attack personally. Bai Bai Xuan and Gui Qianshan's expressions changed greatly. It had to be known that the cultivation of the Western Marshal in the red armor was at the level of Zhou Tian Shen. Only Gui Qianshan could easily block it.
"Lord?" Gui Qianshan exclaimed. But when he saw Ling Dong's cold and firm eyes, Gui Qianshan's worries immediately disappeared. After getting along with Ling Dong for more than a hundred years, Gui Qianshan was very clear about the habits of His Lord.
"Humph, you can easily use the Inextinguishable Cold Flame of the third level of the Law of Flame. It seems that your cultivation of the Law of Flame is only at the fourth level. How is your cultivation of the Burning Soul Black Flame? "
As he spoke, Ling Dong suddenly took a step forward, and a layer of cold flames that were exactly the same as the flames shot out by Xi Shuai in scarlet red armor gushed out from his body, and directly collided with the cold flames that shot towards him.
Seeing that Ling Dong could also use the Inextinguishable Cold Flame, the Western Marshal in the red armor could not help but be extremely surprised, let alone the Left and Right Prime Ministers. Especially the Patrol Camp Commander Qu, who had been waiting on the side without speaking, was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Because he knew that Ling Dong, who was half a step away from being a Righteous God in the Zhou Tian Dynasty, could tie with him and even tie him up.
However, the more surprising thing was yet to come.
Just when the Inextinguishable Cold Flame gushed out from Ling Dong's body to meet the Inextinguishable Cold Flame of the Western Marshal in the red armor, the Inextinguishable Cold Flame on the surface of Ling Dong's body suddenly disappeared. Ling Dong actually used his own flesh and blood to meet the Inextinguishable Cold Flame that was said to be able to burn the Immortal Body.
Cries of surprise suddenly rang out in the hall. Even the face of the Western Marshal in the red armor revealed a look of surprise and bewilderment.
The most unbelievable thing happened. Ling Dong used his flesh and blood to meet the Inextinguishable Cold Flame. The Inextinguishable Cold Flame did not extinguish when it touched Ling Dong's body. It only burned brightly on Ling Dong's chest, but it did not even burn a corner of Ling Dong's clothes.
The brilliance, which seemed both real and illusory, was like an ancient glaze lamp on Ling Dong's chest. If Xi Shuai did not know what he had flicked out, he would have doubted whether the Inextinguishable Cold Flame on Ling Dong's chest was the Inextinguishable Cold Flame, and whether he had flicked it out himself!
Seeing this scene, the calm face of the Phantom Waves Realm's Elder, who had been sitting upright like an old monk, showed a change of expression for the first time.
It was not surprising that Ling Dong could see through the Inextinguishable Cold Flame, and even Xi Shuai's attainment in the Law of Fire, as anyone with some knowledge or insight would be able to recognize it.
Even though controlling the Inextinguishable Cold Flame was an amazing feat, it was still acceptable. Some people were born to be geniuses in comprehending the Law of Fire. While others could obtain one point in a year, such geniuses could obtain ten points in a year.
However, what really shocked Elder Phantom Waves was that Ling Dong did not move at all, allowing the Inextinguishable Cold Flame to burn his body. Furthermore, there was not a single trace of energy fluctuation on his body.
To put it bluntly, this was something that even Elder Phantom Waves could not do. There was only one possibility: Ling Dong's comprehension of the Law of Fire far surpassed Xi Shuai's. It was possible that he had comprehended the Law of Fire to the peak of the fifth level, or even the peak of the sixth level. That was why he could allow the flame to burn his body and remain unharmed.
Even Elder Phantom Waves was shocked by Ling Dong's move, not to mention Xi Shuai, the Left Minister, the Right Minister, and Commander Qu.
Only Wu Zhong, who was standing behind Elder Phantom Waves, was shocked. However, his face was still full of arrogance.
Seeing that even the elder of the Illusory Wave Domain had a face of astonishment and a strange splendor in his eyes, Xi Shuai was so shocked that he opened his mouth slightly. Seeing that he had shown off enough, Ling Dong gently flicked his finger and extinguished the Burning Soul Cold Flame. With a face full of pride, he looked at Xi Shuai, who was wearing a vermillion armor.
"Xi Shuai, can you answer Ling's questions now?
What happened in the Realm of Wood Silk?
What about Heavenly Lord Di? What about Di Nankun?
What about the sects in the Realm of Wood Silk? "
Taking advantage of the fact that Ling Dong remained unscathed from the flames, Ling Dong asked Xi Shuai, who was wearing a scarlet armor, with the arrogance that was bestowed upon him by everyone's shock.
In fact, if this matter was really exposed, Ling Dong would be embarrassed. Ling Dong's comprehension of the Law of Fire had indeed reached the fourth level. He could indeed activate the third level of the Inextinguishable Cold Flame.
However, Ling Dong's cultivation was still stuck at the half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox God level. If he fully activated the Inextinguishable Cold Flame, it would consume too much energy and he wouldn't be able to maintain it for long. Therefore, he made this shocking move.
If one were to compare Ling Dong and Xi Shuai's attainments in the Laws of Fire, Ling Dong might be slightly weaker than Xi Shuai. Therefore, with Ling Dong's attainments in the Laws of Fire, it was impossible for him to escape unscathed from the Inextinguishable Cold Flame.
The reason why Ling Dong could escape unscathed from the Inextinguishable Cold Flame was entirely because of Little Four, the Vermilion Bird.
What was the Vermilion Bird?
Other than the Phoenix, the Vermilion Bird was also a top spiritual bird of the fire lineage. As long as Ling Dong casually took something from Little Four, even if it wasn't refined, it would still be an incredible treasure.
Coincidentally, Ling Dong had taken a crown feather from the Vermillion Bird Little Four several decades ago for the sake of comprehending the Law of Fire. After refining and nourishing it for several decades, it just so happened to be hanging on his chest and had such a miraculous effect.
In other words, as long as Xi Shuai's attainments in the Law of Fire didn't surpass Little Four's, his flame wouldn't be able to hurt Ling Dong.
Only with strength would one have status. This was not a lie.
Seeing Ling Dong's amazing move, Xi Shuai, who was shocked to the core, nodded reluctantly in surprise.
