Chapter 232: Darkness Arrives! Divine Phoenix Inheritance!
"Junior Brother Jun told us to wait here, he'll be here soon."
Upon receiving the message from Jun Yu, Senior Brother Song's face lit up with joy.
News of the alien flame is unimaginably valuable.
They delivered this news immediately, and they would certainly receive an extremely precious reward!
"Senior Brother Song, Junior Brother Jun has been acting a bit strangely."
"Do you think he might leave us out in the cold after getting the alien flame?"
A disciple from the Celestial Pill Pavilion hesitantly said.
They wouldn't have worried about Jun Yu before, but lately...
"Don't worry."
Senior Brother Song reassured them: "We're all from the Celestial Pill Pavilion. Even if Junior Brother Jun is a bit eccentric, he wouldn't go that far."
As they were talking, they saw a large group of people dressed in black robes racing toward them from afar.
Leading them, unexpectedly, was Jun Yu.
However, what puzzled Senior Brother Song and the others was that Jun Yu's complexion seemed a bit off.
Not only was he excessively pale, but there was also a hint of dread on his face.
Before Senior Brother Song and the others could inquire, Jun Yu didn't hesitate to ask as soon as he arrived:
"Where is the location of the alien flame? Tell me quickly!"
Senior Brother Song thought Jun Yu was merely anxious for the news of the alien flame and didn't mind. He laughed and said:
"It's near the Red Flame Mountain Range, but the compass can't pinpoint the exact position."
"You'll have to make a trip yourself, Junior Brother."
Upon hearing this crucial information, Jun Yu visibly relaxed.
"Junior Brother Jun."
A disciple from the Celestial Pill Pavilion smiled and said, "We haven't told anyone else about this news; you were the first we thought of."
"Once you subdue the alien flame, don't forget about us senior brothers."
The other disciples of the Celestial Pill Pavilion also turned expectantly toward Jun Yu.
But they didn't see.
As they were speaking, those in black robes had silently closed in on them.
"I won't forget."
Jun Yu grinned and a profound black gleam flashed in his eyes, "But you'll need to do me one more favor..."
"Haha, Junior Brother Jun, feel free to ask as long as we can do it..."
"Kill!"
Before these disciples of the Celestial Pill Pavilion could finish speaking.
The man standing next to Jun Yu, Tong Lin, grinned wickedly and spoke.
Dense darkness instantly enveloped the world.
Caught off guard, Senior Brother Song's group had no power to resist and was severely injured in an instant.
The group came with high hopes, but seeing such a scene, they froze in shock.
"You... you joined the Dark Forbidden Area!"
Senior Brother Song's eyes were filled with rage, "Jun Yu, you won't die a good death! Junior Sister Chu Xi won't spare you!"
He never imagined that Jun Yu, who's hailed as a young pavilion master by the outside world, had actually joined the Dark Forbidden Area.
"Chu Xi?"
Jun Yu sneered at the words, "She's mine, I will personally turn her into an imperial cauldron!"
"As for now..."
He looked at Tong Lin beside him, respectfully saying, "My lord, feel free to enjoy these blood preys."
Tong Lin smiled at the words, patted Jun Yu on the shoulder, "Well done."
With that, Tong Lin walked straight to Senior Brother Song, grinning evilly as he opened his mouth.
The horrific screams echoed throughout the world.
As if Jun Yu didn't see his fellow disciples' miserable state.
His gaze looked into the distance, with an expectant look in his eyes,
"Red Flame Mountain Range... wait for me!"
...
Above the Red Flame Mountain Range.
Miao Ba stood quietly, his eyes scanning all directions, guarding against any unexpected arrivals.
Chang Qing, Miao Feng, and the others had already entered the secret realm, he could only offer some minor assistance outside.
No choice, the Red Flame Mountain Range spans over a thousand miles, covering a vast area.
And the entrance to the secret realm changes randomly, even as a quasi-emperor, he couldn't completely seal it off.
He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
"With Chang Qing here this time, obtaining the inheritance shouldn't be an issue."
Miao Ba looked into the distance, muttering to himself, "Since those people have left, they should not return, right..."
What one fears tends to happen.
Just as Miao Ba thought of this, a group of black-robed figures approached from afar.
Among them were a few with extremely formidable auras.
They were even stronger than those who roamed here some time ago.
"Stop!"
Miao Ba's expression changed, instantly shouting fiercely.
The powerful voice resounded throughout, the quasi-emperor's aggressive aura permeated everywhere.
"A quasi-emperor?"
Tong Lin glanced up at the sky and said casually, "Jun Yu, you seem to be a bit late."
Jun Yu scanned the surroundings, and soon his gaze locked on a distant mountaintop.
He could sense that the aura of the alien flame emanated from there.
Curiously enough, that aura was constantly shifting.
Moments ago, it was at the peak, and the next moment it was somewhere else.
"A randomly changing entrance?"
Jun Yu was delighted with the discovery, he said, "My lord, can you hold off that quasi-emperor for a moment?"
"Just a little bit of time is all I need."
Tong Lin glanced at Miao Ba and responded, "Only early quasi-emperor level."
"I can't finish him, but holding him off for a while is not an issue."
With those words, without Tong Lin needing to give orders, three black-robed men exuding peak Great Saint auras stepped forward.
"You have the duration of one incense stick."
Tong Lin said indifferently, "If you can't find the entrance in that time, I'll lead the people away."
"That's more than enough!"
Delighted, Jun Yu led his men toward the distant hill.
"Stop!"
Miao Ba's face instantly changed, and he shouted angrily.
Before he could act, the three peak Great Saints combined to block his path.
The battle erupted in an instant, the firmament shattered inch by inch, and a fierce aura swept through all directions.
If they were ordinary peak Great Saints, faced with a quasi-emperor's assault, they wouldn't last long.
But these three were from the Dark Forbidden Area, possessing an unyielding will to survive.
Though they couldn't defeat Miao Ba, their formidable recovery allowed them to hold him off for a moment.
"You belong to the Dark Forbidden Area!" Miao Ba's expression changed once more.
