Chapter 244: Xun Er: I was worried about you, so I followed!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As Gu Fei and the others were looking around.

Figures suddenly darted out from the surrounding rocks and mountains; they hovered in the sky, panting heavily, their faces filled with terror.

"Young Clan Leader, it seems that when you tore through that illusion just now, it caused a chain reaction, bringing everyone else out along with it..."

Seeing those people, Gu Nanhai said.

"The Nightmare Heavenly Mist is like this; once one part is broken, the entire illusion will collapse..."

Gu Fei smiled slightly, not caring.

The next moment, a magma pillar roughly a hundred feet tall rose from the magma sea.

A handsome man dressed in white robes stood upon that magma pillar.

Gazing at the white-robed man who had suddenly appeared on the magma pillar, this space instantly became silent.

Gaze after gaze looked at the former with greed and intensity, because the true form of the man before them was the real Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame! "Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, I never expected that within a mere thousand years, you would have cultivated the Nightmare Heavenly Mist inherited from the Jinglian Yaosheng to such a level; it truly makes one look at you with new eyes."

On a piece of rock, the black-robed Hun Miesheng slowly raised his head, staring at the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame with a slightly unpleasant expression.

"This Demon Fire is becoming increasingly bizarre. This time, no matter what, we cannot let him continue to run wild. If he is allowed to escape, the Central Plains will surely be plunged into misery!"

That Elder Yao Wangui of the Yao Clan stared at the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame with an extremely fervent gaze.

Hearing Yao Wangui's words, many people around nodded in agreement.

To put it bluntly, almost everyone here had come to obtain the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

Those high-sounding words were merely excuses used to cover up their greed.

Hearing the words of Hun Miesheng and the others, the white-robed man paid them no mind, his gaze locking directly onto the silent Gu Fei.

"Tell me, how were you able to break my Nightmare Heavenly Mist illusion?"

"I already said, once you are refined by me, I will naturally tell you..."

Facing the cold gaze of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Gu Fei remained incredibly relaxed.

"It was actually him who tore through the illusion?"

Hearing Gu Fei's words, the faces of those around were filled with shock; they had not expected the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan to be so strong.

"Young Master Gu Fei truly has great ability!"

"Everyone here owes you a favor..."

Many experts from the Ancient Races complimented him.

"Brother Gu Fei, I never expected you to save me again... Just now, I thought I was going to die in that illusion!"

In the crowd, a woman wearing a black cloak turned toward Gu Fei in pleasant surprise as he spoke, and she flew toward him.

"Miss Xun Er!"

Looking at the woman who had removed her cloak halfway there, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, the expression on Gu Nanhai's old face was very surprised.

This time when the Demon Fire descended, the Young Clan Leader had clearly ordered that no one else should come, so how did Miss Xun Er still sneak out?

"Miss Xun Er, why are you so reckless? This place is very dangerous!"

Gu Nanhai's tone at this moment also carried a bit of blame; with Xun Er's Half-Saint cultivation, coming here basically meant she would be a burden.

"I was worried about Brother Gu Fei, so I followed!" Xun Er lowered her head to explain.

Her peripheral vision kept looking toward Gu Fei, but at this moment, Gu Fei didn't pay her any attention at all.

This woman was always willful and reckless, never considering the consequences; if it were according to clan rules, punishing her with a hundred years of confinement would be light.

"Arrogant brat, it doesn't matter if you don't say it; after I turn you into my Fire Slave, you will naturally tell me in detail..."

The white-robed man on the magma pillar stared at Gu Fei for several seconds, then waved his hand, and an invisible ripple spread outward.

In the distance, the milky-white ring of light in the sky slowly dissipated. "The Space Channel has dissipated?"

"Could this thing be trying to keep all of us here?"

Seeing this scene, everyone was worried.

"Sigh, Miss Xun Er, now that the Space Channel is gone, we can't even get out. Later, remember not to run around; stay by my side and the Young Clan Leader's side..." Gu Nanhai said, very annoyed.

"Mm!"

Xun Er nodded earnestly.

"Demon Fire Refines the Heavens!"

The Space Channel was erased, and immediately after, raging milky-white flames surged violently from the white-robed man's body.

The flames expanded, like a fiery prison, wrapping everyone inside.

"This Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame wants to refine all of us..."

Elder Huo Yao of the Yan Clan said with a grave expression.

"The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's strength is extremely terrifying. As it is now, it is likely already equivalent to a Five-Star Peak Dou Sheng expert. Coupled with the Demon Fire's strange abilities, even when facing a Six-Star Dou Sheng, it could put up a fight. No one here has strength that can surpass it..."

Xiao Chen, who had not spoken until now, also said slowly at this moment.

He had an extreme understanding of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, so he was naturally clear about the Demon Fire's current strength.

"Five-Star Peak Dou Sheng!"

Hearing this, the expressions of both Gu Nanhai and Huo Yao changed slightly.

Among Dou Sheng, there is a huge gap between every level.

And because of certain reasons, the people who came from the Ancient Races were all Four-Star Dou Sheng.

"Bang! Bang!"

Just as everyone was on guard in their hearts, low, muffled explosions came from not far behind.

Figure after figure suddenly exploded into clusters of blood mist, and as soon as the blood mist appeared, it was completely evaporated by that terrifying high temperature.

"Miss Xun Er, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is extremely bizarre; it can use a person's emotions as a guide to ignite fire within them. Do not let your mind wander at this time!"

Recalling Gu Fei's words from earlier, Gu Nanhai hurriedly spoke up to remind Xun Er, who was at his side.

However, at this moment, Xun Er's emotions were very unstable due to certain reasons.

A cluster of flames emerged within her heart.

"Ah..."

A look of pain gradually appeared on Xun Er's pretty face; fortunately, she had refined the Golden Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame, which ranked fourth on the Exotic Flame Ranking, allowing her to slightly resist the scorching of that milky-white flame even as a Half-Saint.

"Young Clan Leader, please hurry and take action to save Miss Xun Er!" Gu Nanhai was extremely anxious at this moment, his gaze hurriedly turning toward Gu Fei.

Hearing this, Gu Fei glanced at Xun Er, frowned, and then reached out his hand, gently patting her slender shoulder.

"Hoo..."

With Gu Fei's help, the milky-white flame inside Xun Er's body was instantly extinguished.

Her face was pale, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

"Brother Gu Fei, I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have been willful this time, and I shouldn't have come here to cause trouble for you and Elder Nanhai!"

Xun Er said, feeling ashamed.

At this moment, she finally realized that being here made her a burden.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was so powerful that Gu Fei and Gu Nanhai would have to divide their attention to protect her later.
