Chapter 107: Ji Yanling's hesitation, whether to take a step further with Senior Brother

~10 min read 1,825 words

To be honest, with Ji Yanling's current favorability toward Han Yu, she would not have any aversion to whatever he asked her to do.

But the problem was that Ji Yanling did not know how her Senior Brother felt about her.

If Senior Brother only saw her as a Junior Sister, then the psychological pressure she would feel in completing this task would be significant.

If she did this, would it ruin her image in Senior Brother's heart? Would Senior Brother think she was wanton? Or perhaps think she was pushing her luck, coveting his male beauty?

Ji Yanling's heart was very conflicted, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Yanling finally made a decision in her heart.

"No matter what, this is also an opportunity for me to test Senior Brother's attitude. If he doesn't resist, it means Senior Brother also has special romantic feelings for me!"

"In that case, my relationship with him will definitely be able to take a step further, developing toward being Daoist companions!"

The more Ji Yanling thought about it, the more certain she became, and she was even faintly excited. She was actually looking forward to Han Yu's response to her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

In her previous life, whenever she saw Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters becoming Daoist companions, she would sneer at them.

She felt they were neglecting their proper work; the cultivation Great Dao was inherently lonely, and one person was enough; why was there a need for others to accompany them?

Ji Yanling had always been very disdainful of those cultivators who called each other Senior Brother and Junior Sister by day and "brother, baby" by night.

But she hadn't expected that now that the same thing had fallen upon her, she realized that her firmness in her previous life was only because she hadn't met the right person.

In this life, she had met Senior Brother, a man who treated her with his whole heart. If she gave up, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

"Senior Brother, oh Senior Brother, you treat me so well; Yanling has nothing to repay you with. If you also have intentions toward me, Junior Sister is willing to give myself to you and never leave your side!"

Ji Yanling thought to herself, looking at Han Yu beside her with deep affection. The latter immediately sensed her fiery gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked in confusion.

"Junior Sister, why are you looking at me like that? Is something the matter?"

Ji Yanling's pretty face flushed, and she shook her head, smiling: "It's nothing, Senior Brother. I just feel that letting the Heavenly Fire God Guards face those natural disasters might be a bit too difficult for them, don't you think?"

"It's true that their strength is very strong, but as far as I know, these natural disasters each have their own characteristics. They are all Fire System cultivators; if a certain natural disaster has extremely strong resistance to Fire System cultivators, there might be significant risks for those Heavenly Fire God Guards."

Hearing Ji Yanling's words, Han Yu nodded, feeling that what she said made a lot of sense.

After all, these cultivators were those whose foundations he had painstakingly restored; if they were lost for no reason, Han Yu would also feel it was a pity.

When he was restoring their foundations earlier, it looked easy and relaxed, but in reality, it was very mentally and physically exhausting.

Han Yu hadn't been this tired even when fighting ten Great Sun divine envoys, which was one of the reasons why he was too lazy to move himself.

However, he had recovered quite a bit now, so he could go and take a look.

Thinking this way, he took Ji Yanling and flew rapidly in one direction.

Seeing that Han Yu had taken her advice, Ji Yanling's mouth curled up slightly.

She had to complete the task, and it required the witness of one hundred people; this was the main reason she had asked Han Yu to go and check.

To tell the story from two sides.

The group of Heavenly Fire God Guards split into three paths: one headed to the Gengjin Land, one to the Flourishing Wood Land, and one to the Thick Earth Land.

As the name suggests, among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, these three belonged to gold, wood, and earth respectively, and the natural disasters that descended there were the same.

The group of Heavenly Fire God Guards arrived at each location and immediately encountered natural disasters of various attributes.

The natural disaster in the Flourishing Wood Land was the easiest to resolve; they were trees that looked rotten and decayed, growing sharp teeth and claws.

Before the Heavenly Fire God Guards arrived, they were constantly hunting down various local creatures and outside cultivators who had arrived at this place.

Each rotten wood natural disaster was tens of thousands of feet long, growing countless long roots. The roots were twisted and entangled, and each tentacle was incredibly tough, comparable to a Spirit Tool.

With a flick of a tree root, it would pierce into the bodies of those creatures and cultivators, and within a breath, the latter's essence blood would be sucked dry, turning them into dried corpses.

The cultivators dared not fly in the air; this place was full of dense forests, and they constantly shuttled through the forest.

Using the cover of the trees, they wanted to interfere with the pursuit of the rotten wood natural disasters.

But those rotten wood natural disasters were terrifying; wherever they passed, patches of forest would rapidly wither, losing all vitality.

And the rotten wood natural disasters, nourished by these forests, became even more refined in strength. Those tree roots, like giant pythons, shuttled through thousands of miles of space, hunting down creatures and cultivators.

Every time they killed a creature or cultivator, their branches would be hung with their withered, dried corpses, as if they were laden with fruit.

These rotten wood natural disasters had no leaves or flowers, yet each one was laden with fruit. On each natural disaster, there were tens of thousands of corpses, most of which were local creatures, with a small portion being outside cultivators, looking very spectacular.

When the Heavenly Fire God Guards saw this scene, they finally understood the cruelty of the natural disasters descending upon the world.

"These monsters are truly terrifying. If it weren't for Master, we would be just like them by now!"

A Heavenly Fire God Guard sighed.

"Nonsense, if it weren't for Master, we wouldn't even be able to see these natural disasters; we would have long since been killed by that so-called God Child."

"That makes sense. Master has the grace of saving our lives and the grace of reshaping us; we have nothing to repay him with. Now that Master has given us this task, we must complete it beautifully!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's do it!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet. After all, we are here representing Master; before we act, shouldn't we show some style!"

The group of Heavenly Fire God Guards communicated rapidly via sound transmission, then shouted in unison; their voices, accompanied by spiritual power, rolled and echoed throughout the entire area.

"We are the Heavenly Fire God Guards, acting under the order of the Heavenly Fire God to slay the natural disasters here. All bystanders, retreat immediately!"

"We are the Heavenly Fire God Guards, acting under the order of the Heavenly Fire God to slay the natural disasters here. All bystanders, retreat immediately!"

"We are the Heavenly Fire God Guards, acting under the order of the Heavenly Fire God to slay the natural disasters here. All bystanders, retreat immediately!"

The sound echoed for hundreds of thousands of miles. Every cultivator who heard this voice was stunned, and they all looked up in the direction of the sound.

They saw that above the firmament, over a hundred tall Dharma Images, clad in uniform fiery-red battle armor, stood in rows. They acted in unison, and countless fire-type spirit arts tore through the sky, landing upon those Rotten Wood natural disasters.

"Are they fire-type cultivators? Heavens, could it be that the natural disasters on their side have been resolved, and they still have the strength to come and help us?"

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear them say they are some Heavenly Fire God Guards? What kind of sect is this?"

"Forget it, as long as they can deal with the natural disasters. But looking at them, I reckon they'll be swarmed and attacked by the disasters. I feel like they're done for. Let's take advantage of them drawing the disasters' attention and leave quickly!"

Everyone had different thoughts, each with their own agenda.

Before their thoughts could settle, the Heavenly Fire God Guards were already locked in a great battle with the Rotten Wood natural disasters.

They each summoned their Dharma Images, activated their Saint Artifacts, and unleashed spirit arts.

In an instant, the sky was filled with flames, burning fiercely.

The Rotten Wood natural disasters, which had been arrogant and unstoppable, killing anyone who stood in their way in the Shengmu Zhidi, encountered the Heavenly Fire God Guards like dry wood meeting a raging fire. Their bodies burned rapidly, emitting shrill, painful shrieks.

Every single Heavenly Fire God Guard could crush and slaughter a fire-type natural disaster; there was no danger whatsoever.

Seeing this scene, all the cultivators in the entire Shengmu Zhidi were stunned. They never imagined that these so-called Heavenly Fire God Guards would be so terrifyingly powerful.

They were all well aware of how terrifying those natural disasters were, especially the few leading disaster commanders, which were already no less than Peak King Realm or even Emperor Realm cultivators.

Yet, in front of these Heavenly Fire God Guards, they still had no power to fight back. In just one exchange, they were submerged by various fire-type spirit arts and burned into thousands of ashes.

Even if the Rotten Wood natural disasters had low intelligence, they sensed that something was wrong.

These cultivators were definitely not ordinary fire-type cultivators; their fire-type power was extremely terrifying, almost every one of them comparable to the King Realm!

Seeing the situation was bad, they immediately wailed and fled.

The Rotten Wood natural disasters, which had originally been the hunters, were now turned into prey, being frantically hunted down by the Heavenly Fire God Guards.

This scene deeply shocked the cultivators in the Shengmu Zhidi. They never imagined that these Heavenly Fire God Guards, who had appeared out of nowhere, would be this formidable.

Could it be that they were all God-favored ones?

With so many God-favored ones, which faction did they belong to?
