Chapter 106: Let's Discuss

……

Fire Cloud Forest.

After struggling with the decision, Nan Jue still decided to go up and take a look; after all, having risked so much to cross the Sha Wang River, she could not accept running back empty-handed without even seeing a shadow of the Fire Calamity Fruit.

At the very least, she wanted to see who had obtained the Fire Calamity Fruit.

"Lv Cheng?"

Hearing this inexplicably familiar name, Nan Jue's expression turned somewhat strange.

Was it the Lv Cheng she knew?

There was a special internal notice from the Military: if you encounter that Lv Cheng from the Magic Palace while on a mission, if there is no conflict, hold onto his thigh for dear life; if the mission content conflicts, do not hesitate, run immediately!

Do not say a single word of nonsense!

And definitely do not attempt to reason with him!

Because once you open your mouth, once you make a move, at least half of your life is no longer in your own hands!

"His reputation has already reached the Western Military Region?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"Yes." Nan Jue nodded.

"I don't quite believe it."

"I didn't quite believe it either at first," Ai Jiangtu said.

"But, after crossing paths with him, I believe half of it."

Nan Jue was stunned, "You crossed paths with him?"

"Who won?"

"I was insta-killed." Ai Jiangtu shrugged.

Sixth Realm against Fourth Realm, an absolute crushing defeat in terms of Spiritual Power level; there was simply no way to fight. If he had been carrying a high-quality Concentration Magic Tool at the time, he might have been able to put up a fight, but he wasn't. Once Lv Cheng sent a Mental Shock over, he couldn't even cast Primary Magic. If Lv Cheng had followed up with a slap, he would have been 100% shattered.

"Insta-killed?" Nan Jue was dumbfounded.

Ai Jiangtu's name could be said to be known by everyone in every major military region.

A Military Mage who had carved his way out of piles of demons, insta-killed?

"Brother, what are you all talking about?" Ai Tutu asked in confusion.

"It's that he previously executed a Super-level Mage Councilor alone during the Hangzhou Plague Incident," Ai Jiangtu said.

High-level Mages and Super-level Mages, under normal circumstances, are completely unable to fight.

After all, a Super-level Mage's Spiritual Power suppresses a High-level Mage to death; even a sneak attack is impossible.

As for what the Magic Palace said about Lv Cheng's Sixth Realm Spiritual Power, to be honest, unless you see it with your own eyes, it is impossible to believe.

A normal High-level Mage's Spiritual Power is still at the First Realm. If it is a Psychic-type Magician, it will be a bit higher; the stronger ones can barely reach the Second Realm, and those with resources can reach the level of Jiang Shaoxu, the late Second Realm.

Someone like him, who has been heavily cultivated by his family and the military region, only just broke through to the Fourth Realm a while ago, and it's still unstable; he will need a long time to consolidate it.

And for someone like Lv Cheng to go straight to the Sixth Realm, honestly, apart from a Mind Stone, the only other possibility is that he is a Sufferer.

However, with Lv Cheng being so flamboyant, it is unlikely he is a Sufferer.

Therefore, the only explanation is that Lv Cheng has a Mind Stone!

……

Before long, under the escort of Xiaotian and Jingyun leading the way, the group safely passed through the Fire Cloud Forest without being attacked by the demons in the forest along the way.

"Where is he?" Nan Jue looked toward the rocky hillside that rose abruptly ahead with some vigilance.

"He should be right..."

Boom!!!

Before Xinxia could finish her sentence, a massive fireball ignited from the hillside without warning, and at the same time, two burning humanoid figures flew out from the fireball.

The group was shocked and hurriedly assumed a defensive posture.

"Don't tell me the fight isn't over yet?" Zhao Manyan said worriedly.

No, they already used their ultimate moves and still couldn't win; just how terrifying is this guardian of the Fire Calamity Fruit?

"Is what you said true?" The voice of the Flame Belle transmitted into Lv Cheng's mind sounded somewhat heartbroken.

"Can't you see?" Lv Cheng glanced at Zhao Yulin, who was standing with the person in white cloth.

"Back then, you risked everything to save him, but for so many years, he hasn't even come to see you once, never even thought about collecting your remains. And now, in order to snatch the Fire Calamity Fruit, he even dared to cross the Sha Wang River, which even Super-level Mages shy away from."

"That person in white cloth standing next to him is disguised as you, and has already stayed in the Zhao family for many years, but he didn't recognize that the guy is a fake. Do you believe it?"

The Flame Belle looked at Zhao Yulin with disappointment.

Although she had long since stopped holding expectations for this man during her years at Fire Pillar Mountain, she hadn't expected that this guy wouldn't even recognize her.

"What do you want to do?" The Flame Belle's eyes were slightly cold.

Seeing the Flame Belle's such decisive attitude, Lv Cheng was somewhat surprised.

He had thought he would need to spend more effort to persuade her; he hadn't expected it to be so simple.

It seems that the little bit of husband-and-wife affection had already faded away over the more than ten years in the Zhuoyuan North Corner.

"Stage a play, and then, leave no one alive," Lv Cheng said.

The Flame Belle was stunned, feeling somewhat reluctant, "They..."

"They are all here to snatch the Fire Calamity Fruit," Lv Cheng said.

"If you were weaker than them, they would kill you without hesitation, snatch away this last Fire Calamity Fruit, and let the Yan Ji race go extinct."

"Since they dared to come, they naturally must be prepared to die without a whole corpse, right?"

Hearing that it concerned the Yan Ji, the flames around the Flame Belle became noticeably more violent.

"How to do it?"

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you; you just need to keep fighting me," Lv Cheng said.

Perhaps because he is becoming less and less human, he is very interested in special flame lifeforms like the Flame Enchantress, but Jiang Feng clearly still has attachments to her own past.

Chen Ying can stay, but Zhao Yulin cannot, otherwise he would feel strange.

Mo Fan can live because Mu Ningxue has no interest in him, and furthermore, to Ye Xinxia, Mo Fan is a very important older brother; besides, regarding the Totem Beast, he also needs Mo Fan to act as a tool, so, at least for now, Mo Fan cannot die.

However, the others do not have this treatment.

Anything that makes him feel displeased, unless it has sufficient value, has no reason to continue existing.

"Brother, why don't you go up and help?" Ai Tutu suggested.

Ai Jiangtu shook his head, "No, neither of their Domains is something I can contend with; rashly interfering will only cause him trouble."

"Then we can only watch?" Ai Tutu was somewhat worried.

"Although these words are inappropriate, you must understand that we are the ones in the most danger right now," Nan Jue said in a deep voice.

"If even one of their attacks goes astray and flies over here, we are finished!"

As soon as the words fell, a massive fireball flew toward this side.

Everyone's expressions stiffened.

Big sister! Is your mouth blessed or something!

Ai Jiangtu watched the rapidly approaching fireball with a stiff expression; there were too many people here, and if he took too many people at once, the distance of his Teleportation would shorten; if he took everyone, he probably wouldn't even be able to get a hundred meters away.

Damn it! I'll risk it!

"You all hide further away first, wait for me to finish negotiating with her before coming over," Lv Cheng teleported over and blocked the fireball.

"Negotiating?" Ai Jiangtu, who had just prepared to Teleport, froze.

You call this negotiating?

"Isn't it said that the Flame Enchantress is very docile?" Zhao Manyan looked at Chen Ying and the white-clothed person beside her.

"After the Fire Calamity Fruit matures, it will gestate a Yan Ji, and she is the guardian of the Yan Ji; I am currently equivalent to trying to snatch her child," Lv Cheng said.

"No matter how good a temper someone has, they would fly into a rage when encountering this kind of thing, right?"

"The Fire Calamity Fruit... gestating a Yan Ji?" Chen Ying was stunned.

"Moreover, there is only one Fire Calamity Fruit, which means there is only one Yan Ji; it's her only daughter," Lv Cheng turned to look at the Flame Enchantress.

"Wait for me to negotiate some more, you all leave this place first."

After speaking, Lv Cheng charged up again and collided with the Flame Enchantress.

He really wasn't holding back right now; after all, he was only a High-level Mage, while the Flame Enchantress was a special flame lifeform only one step away from being a Monarch, and the Fire Element's damage to her was already greatly reduced; even if he used his full strength, he would still be unable to do anything to the Flame Enchantress.

The Ruler of Zhuoyuan is not just a title.

Furthermore, the power of the Flame Enchantress's Dark Flame Domain is terrifying; unless one possesses a special Domain capable of contending with it, one cannot even get close.
