259. Chapter 259: Birth of the Fire Spirit!
Somewhere in the Demon Fire Plain, a team of black-robed figures suddenly appeared. This location was already very close to the central area of this Demon Fire Plain.
Because of this, the further one traveled inward from here, the greater the quantity of Demon Fire Stone would be.
"Venerable, tell me, what exactly is so sinister about this place that the higher-ups had to issue such a strict order, forbidding anyone from trespassing?"
A year had passed, and some Soul Hall members, tempted by the Demon Fire Stone, had somewhat forgotten the original order from Hun Miesheng.
To be precise, when faced with profit, they had voluntarily cast it to the back of their minds.
"The higher-ups have such an order, so naturally there is a reason for it. We do not need to know!"
The leading Soul Hall powerhouse shook his head and said.
"Venerable, why don't we just quietly enter this area today and harvest a large amount of Demon Fire Stone? That way, completing the mission would be much simpler..."
A Soul Hall Protector probed.
Once these words were spoken, this Soul Hall Venerable was also somewhat tempted, because further inside, the yield of Demon Fire Stone was indeed higher than in ordinary places.
"Don't worry, Venerable. We will never reveal a single word of this to anyone else..."
As the Soul Hall Venerable's gaze swept over them, the group of Soul Hall Protectors all gave their assurances.
"Fine, then let's go in!"
As the words fell, several dozen people quickly flew toward the central area of the Demon Fire Plain.
"It has been a year, and my husband still hasn't come out..."
On a stone slab, Xiao Yixian gazed into the distance at the sky, her eyes filled with endless longing.
"I just searched the surrounding space again, but I still haven't found any Space Channel leading in there!" Zi Yan emerged from somewhere in the void, her expression dejected.
Although she could sense through the Dragon Seal that Gu Fei was still safe, this kind of endless waiting was truly enough to drive someone mad.
"These disgusting fellows, they actually dare to come here?"
Suddenly, Zi Yan seemed to sense something; her brows furrowed, and killing intent spread.
"What my husband hates most are the Soul Clan and these lackeys of the Soul Hall!"
Xiao Yixian also sensed it.
At this moment, she and Zi Yan exchanged a glance.
It seemed they both understood the other's meaning.
"Today, let's first wipe out these Soul Hall lackeys!" Zi Yan nodded.
During this period, the two of them had been extremely restless.
Now that the people from the Soul Hall had walked right into their trap, it was the perfect time to kill some Soul Hall members to relieve their boredom.
Not long after, a series of miserable screams suddenly rang out from a hundred miles away.
"Who are you people? How dare you, how dare you actually attack us from the Soul Hall..."
"Are you not afraid of the Soul Hall's retaliation?"
The Soul Hall Venerable looked at Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian, who stood before him like gods of death, his heart filled with terror.
At this moment, he almost subconsciously blurted out the words most commonly spoken by those in the Soul Hall.
"Heh, you still dare to threaten me?"
"Go ask Hun Miesheng, last time in the Demon Fire Space, if I hadn't been in a good mood, would he have even had the chance to leave and continue being the Hall Master?"
Hearing the threatening words of that Soul Hall Venerable, Zi Yan's face was filled with mockery.
"You dare to insult..."
Before the Soul Hall Venerable could finish his sentence, his entire body suddenly exploded.
Although he was a Venerable, it was as simple as crushing an ant for Zi Yan to kill him.
"These people were here to harvest this kind of stone. It seems there is more than just this one team of Soul Hall people in the Demon Fire Plain!"
"Then let's kill them all!"
Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian exchanged a few words, then set off again and vanished from the spot.
Not long after, the two of them appeared above a Soul Hall branch in the Demon Fire Plain. Within this Soul Hall branch, there was a Soul Hall powerhouse at the Dou Sheng level sitting in command.
"These fellows, their conduct is truly arrogant!"
Zi Yan looked downward.
In this Soul Hall branch, Soul Hall Protectors entered from time to time, and behind them, they dragged a rope with over a dozen human heads attached.
Clearly, these were the various powerhouses from the Central Plains that the Soul Hall had hunted here, returning to claim credit.
"With a force like this, the world will be a little more peaceful for every one of them that is gone!"
Killing intent also filled Xiao Yixian's eyes.
Before, she had mostly heard rumors, but now she had finally seen the evil of the Soul Hall with her own eyes.
"Mm!"
Zi Yan nodded, then raised her hand and pressed downward, sending an invisible ripple sweeping out.
Under the impact of this invisible ripple, the massive Soul Hall branch collapsed instantly, and the Soul Hall members inside exploded in a flash.
With just one strike, a Soul Hall branch had completely vanished from this world.
"Hoo..."
Having killed these Soul Hall members, the mood that Zi Yan had suppressed for so long was finally released.
Inside the Demon Fire Space, it remained just as scorching. Above the sea of magma, a massive crystal egg hung suspended in mid-air.
"Crack!"
I do not know how much time had passed, but in the silence, a faint sound suddenly emerged.
Following the gaze, one could see that a crack had slowly opened on the surface of the crystal egg; as this crack appeared, more and more fissures gradually crawled across the crystal egg, and eventually, a large fragment of the crystal egg finally slid off the top.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the splitting of the crystal egg, a pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, finally transforming into a curtain of light that poured down from the distant heavens.
"Whoosh!"
From within the pillar of light, Gu Fei's arm slowly stretched out, and then he gave a vigorous stretch.
"Finally, I have come out of seclusion!"
Gu Fei sighed with emotion in his heart.
This time, the seclusion to refine the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had consumed a full year and more.
His cultivation, after continuously absorbing the vast energy of the Demon Fire, had also broken through to the level of a Six-Star Dou Saint Early-Stage.
As a Dou Saint powerhouse, even a prodigy like Gu Fei could feel just how difficult it was to increase one's level between Dou Saints.
For an ordinary person to break through from a Five-Star Dou Sheng to a Six-Star Dou Sheng would likely take a hundred years or even longer, yet Gu Fei had shortened this time by a hundredfold.
"I wonder how the Exotic Fire within my body is now..."
Gu Fei swept his gaze around the surroundings, suddenly thinking of the Exotic Fire inside his body.
However, under his sensing, the Exotic Fire that had originally filled his body had now completely vanished.
"Could it be..."
Gu Fei did not feel any shock or panic because of the disappearance of the Exotic Fire within his body; instead, a strong sense of anticipation surged up.
This situation was very likely that the fused Exotic Fire had given birth to a Fire Spirit.
Next, Gu Fei began to carefully examine his body, and upon this inspection, he immediately sensed that there was something extra deep within him.
"Come out!"
Sensing this thing, Gu Fei suddenly clenched his palm and gave a low shout, and a pink flame suddenly surged out from his palm.
As soon as this cluster of pink flame appeared, the surrounding space began to twist rapidly.
However, that cluster of flame suddenly began to squirm automatically, and then, amidst Gu Fei's incomparably expectant gaze, it instantly transformed into a baby only half a foot in size.
