Qingfeng Li looked at Sky-Devouring Snake beside him . "Are your wounds healed?" he asked .
Sky-Devouring Snake nodded . "My wounds are all better," it said, "We can leave now . "
With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng Li spoke, "Then, let's go find the monarch soul fruit . "
With that, the group left . Under the guidance of the Desert Giant, they walked forward .
One had to say that Qingfeng Li's decision to subjugate the Desert Giant was definitely a good one .
The Desert Giant was a native of the Crimson Fire Desert . It knew the fifteen thousand square kilometers or so of desert land well . It knew where the danger was, where the powerful beasts were, and where the sandstorms raged . He had seen them all many times before .
Although the map Qingfeng Li had was very detailed, after five hundred years, many things had changed .
In some places, the king of the demonic beasts that had been there had died, and a new one had taken its place . In others, where there had been a sand dune, there was now a depression in the ground, forming a cliff .
The Desert Giant walked ahead, leading the group . At the same time, it explained to Qingfeng Li . "Master, the Crimson Fire Desert is very dangerous . Even we Desert Giants have places we do not usually dare to go near . There are great dangers hidden there, deep underground . "
Qingfeng Li nodded, indicating that he understood .
As soon as he had set foot in the Crimson Fire Desert, he had detected that things were not as simple as they seemed . The dangers did not come from the surface of the desert alone, but also from underneath .
Qingfeng Li had mastered the Mortal Purgatory Body technique . He had a special ability to sense things about the terrain . He could clearly feel that, deep within the sand, there was a terrifying power . This was a power that, once awakened, could tear the world apart .
The Crimson Fire Desert was vast, spanning about fifteen thousand square kilometers . Within this area, most of the ground was covered with sand . The grains of yellow sand danced on the slightest breeze, covering the sky .
Aside from sand, in some obscure corners, there were hills, oases, and springs .
Of course, these things were few and far in between . Sometimes, one could run around for ten thousand kilometers and not see a single one .
Luckly, Qingfeng Li possessed the golden flame, along with extraordinary strength, and was therefore able to fly across quickly . If an ordinary person were in his place, they would have been burned alive by the heat alone .
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li frowned . Before him, he saw a group of people in red desperately fleeing something . The group numbered at roughly twenty people and was led by a middle-aged man and a woman .
Behind the middle-aged pair, another group followed in hot pursuit . These people wore golden clothes and held bows and arrows, which they used with terrific cruelty and effectiveness . Each arrow they let fly claimed at least one of the red-clad people's lives .
In the blink of an eye, around a dozen of the twenty-something people fleeing had been killed . There were only seven or eight of them left .
Seeing that their attempts to escape were futile, the middle-aged pair leading the group abruptly turned . They had decided to face the gold-clad pursuers instead of continuing to run .
The leader of the group with bows and arrows was a middle-aged man . He was a tall man, with golden skin and hair . He stood with his back straight, a powerful golden energy radiating from all over his body . He glared at the middle-aged pair with frigid eyes .
The middle-aged pair were both roughly forty years old . But the woman was exceptionally beautiful, with delicate features, pale skin, and a graceful figure . Her clothes were red, setting off her enchanting silhouette to great effect .
Beside her, the middle-aged man was also tall and handsome . His features would have been attractive but, right now, his face was pale as death and his expression betrayed a trace of fear .
The beautiful woman in red furrowed her brows as she shouted . "Yijian Jin," she shouted . "You've hounded us for over three kilometers . Will you stop at nothing to kill us?"
The blond man called Yijian Jin bellowed in laughter . "Linglong Huo, Wuya Tie," he said, his voice cold, "hand over the Supreme level spirit herb you've just found, and I'll let you live . Otherwise, I'll kill you right here!"
Hearing Yijian Jin's words, Wuya Tie's expression turned to one of shocked terror . He was only a Ninth Level Spirit Emperor Realm master . Just now, when he and his junior sister had found the Supreme level spirit herb, they had been overjoyed .
They knew that, once they absorbed the power of this Supreme level spirit herb, they would be able to break through to the Supreme Realm . When that happens, their Fire Emperor Sect would be raised to Supreme level . However, just as they were picking the spirit herb, they had been spotted by Yijian Jin .
Yijian Jin had a formidable background, he was the Chief Advisor and Protector of the Gold-Arrow Country, as well a0s a master of the Fifth Level of the Supreme Realm .
Yijian Jin had chased Wuya Tie and Linglong Huo, along with the rest of the Fire Emperor Sect self-cultivators, and they had slain all but seven or eight of them .
Wuya Tie looked to Linglong Huo . "Junior sister," he said, "maybe we should give the Supreme level spirit herb over to him . "
A flash of pain appeared across Linglong Huo's eyes . She thought of another one of her Senior Brothers, the Fire Emperor . If the Fire Emperor were here, he would never give in to the other's demands .
She and the Fire Emperor had shared a dream, to break through to the Supreme Realm . She hadn't thought that, after she had finally found a Supreme level spirit herb in the Crimson Fire Desert, she would have to give it up .
But Linglong Huo also knew that the situation did not leave them with any other choice . She had to give up the spirit herb . Otherwise, they would all be in grave danger . They may even lose their own lives, along with those of their fellow sect members .
Just then, Yijian Jin bellowed in laughter as he spoke again, "Wuya Tie, I don't only want your Supreme level spirit herb today . I want your junior sister Linglong Huo, too . She's quite the looker, I want her to be mine . "
Hearing Yijian Jin's words, Wuya Tie and Linglong Huo were both overcome with rage . Wuya Tie was very fond of his junior sister, Linglong Huo .
Wuya Tie took a step forwad . "Yijian Jin," he said, "I can give this Supreme level spirit herb to you, but not my junior sister . "
Yijian Jin smirked, a cold glint flashing across his eyes . He abruptly raised his golden bow and let loose an arrow . In a flash of golden lightning, the arrow shot straight through Wuya Tie's body, pinning him to the ground .
Yijian Jin walked to Wuya Tie's side . Taking out a dagger, he placed it against his neck . "You're only at Ninth Level Spirit Emperor Realm," he said . "You're too weak for me . All I need to do is move this dagger a little, and your head will be cut off . If you want to live, give me both the Supreme level spirit herb and your junior sister!"
A look of fright appeared on Wuya Tie's face . He felt the aura of death radiating from the dagger . He knew that, if he didn't comply, he would certainly be killed .
With no other option, Wuya Tie took out the Supreme level spirit herb and handed it to Yijian Jin . "Here, I gave you the spirit herb," he said . "My junior sister is yours too . Let me go . "
Yijian Jin howled in laughter, pleased with Wuya Tie's attitude . He turned to Linglong Huo, staring at her with a heated expression .
When Qingfeng Li arrived on the scene, this was the scene they saw . A cold light flashed over his eyes .
Qingfeng Li had naturally heard of Wuya Tie and Linglong Huo .
He had once received the teachings of Fire Emperor, who had once been a member of the Fire Emperor Sect on Mars . He had been one of the members of the Fire Emperor Sect who was likely to inherit the Sect .
But then, the Fire Emperor was framed by Wuya Tie and hunted down . Mortally wounded, he went to Earth and died there . In the end, the Fire Emperor's knowledge was handed down to Qingfeng Li .
Qingfeng Li had promised yjr Fire Emperor that he would bring his ashes to the Mars to be buried, and that he would tell Linglong Huo the truth .
