Chapter 726

But in fact, he currently cannot even support that kind of power.

Naizi quickly rushed over and helped Luo En to his feet.

"How are you feeling?"

Luo En shook his head helplessly.

"Fortunately, that guy left quickly—otherwise, if he'd seen me like this, we'd be in danger."

Naizi checked Luo En's pulse and found his breath steady, though his body was extremely weak.

He needed time to rest properly.

At that moment, the girl slowly woke up, rubbing her aching arms as she struggled to stand.

At that moment, Naizi helped her up.

"What happened to us? Are we in heaven now?"

She looked around in confusion; the absence of battle sounds made it hard for her to adjust.

Naizi replied irritably.

"If you want to go to heaven, go alone—don't drag us with you."

The girl looked at Naizi, then glanced at Luo En lying on the ground.

"What happened to you? Did the battle end? Did we win?"

Naizi shook her head helplessly and said.

"So you passed out and missed the most exciting part."

Then she pointed to the monster lying not far away.

"Go give your pet a good scolding—don't let it slip your control again."

The girl saw the monster and gasped in shock, rushing over immediately.

Naizi said helplessly to Luo En.

"I can tell this guy cares more about his pet than he does about us."

Luo En smiled.

"Probably because a pet is like her child."

The girl gently touched the monster's body.

She drew another purple rune, establishing a connection with the monster.

Then she regained control of the monster.

Watching the girl, happy as a child.

Naizi could no longer scold her, only told her.

"Never lose control again."

"This monster is extremely powerful—if it slips your control, it will become the greatest threat."

The girl nodded quickly, then finally noticed Luo En lying on the ground.

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

The girl asked with deep concern.

Luo En shook his head.

"Just tired—rest for a while and I'll be fine."

Naizi said seriously.

"I can sense neither of them are ordinary—nothing either of them says can be trusted."

Luo En nodded.

"Their strength is truly terrifying—though this time I barely managed to match them."

"But I could tell they didn't use their full power, while I fought with my life."

Naizi said.

"Do you really plan to trade the Phoenix Flame with them?"

Luo En shook his head.

"The Phoenix Flame holds an extraordinary status—I can sense even that guy desperately wants it."

"But the reason he hasn't acted yet must be because he's wary of something."

"So we must first understand exactly what the Phoenix Flame is before making any move."

"We don't have the luxury to act rashly now."

"These guys are all more dangerous than the last."

"If we fight them, we have no chance of winning."

Zuo Tian Yiyun said.

"When I attacked, I felt the killing intent in that man's eyes."

"He clearly wanted to kill us—only the monster and your interference stopped him."

Luo En slowly got up; he could feel his strength had recovered considerably.

"So we must prepare thoroughly."

"First, we must uncover their true identities."

"From what he said, they come from the same sect—this sect must be enormous."

Luo En looked at Zuo Tian Yiyun.

"This task is yours—find out where their sect is located."

Then he turned to the girl.

"Carefully study the connection between you and this monster."

"How exactly can we make it more stable?"

"We need his combat power."

The girl nodded enthusiastically and said.

"I will perfectly control him."

Then Luo En looked at Taiyaro and Nainai.

"I think we still need to find another person—the one who left first."

"He must also be key to this matter."

After assigning the tasks, Luo En set off with Taiyaro and Nainai.

Luo En said.

"In ten days, we meet here again."

"No matter whether the mission succeeds or not, you must return here."

"We must first ensure our own safety."

"No matter what happens, prioritize your life."

Everyone nodded; it was clear their moods were heavy.

After all, the opponent they faced this time was no ordinary one.

Luo En remembered the man had left toward the southeast, so they decided to head in that direction.

They would inquire along the way about the man's whereabouts.

Although they knew searching aimlessly for him was extremely difficult, they had no choice but to do so now.

Nainai said.

"I believe that guy won't let us go easily—he'll come looking for us again."

Luo En nodded and said.

"So we'll lure him in—but this time, I won't let him slip away."
