Chapter 50

Such a lineup would cause a huge stir anywhere in the Cangfeng Empire, but to appear in this remote little place could only be described as utterly inconceivable.

Yun Che looked up and saw five black dots flying towards this side from the northern sky. Once one reached the Tianxuan Realm, they could traverse the void and fly through the air. There was no doubt that these five people were, as Moli had said, genuine and formidable super-strong Tianxuan Realm experts!

The speed at which these five people flew was not fast. It took quite a while after Yun Che saw their shadows before they flew overhead. Sensing that someone below was looking at them, two of them slightly lowered their gaze and glanced at Yun Che... but it was just a glance, and they quickly withdrew their gaze. The other three didn't even spare him a glance. A person at the initial Tianxuan Realm simply did not have the qualifications to make them look or care.

After they flew far away, Yun Che pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision. He immediately stored all the herbs he had collected over the past few days into the Tiandu Pearl, changed his clothes, and set off in the direction the five Tianxuan experts had flown.

"What are you going to do?" Moli asked, frowning.

"Of course, I'm going to catch up with those five people!" Yun Che said quickly, without stopping.

"Are you planning to catch up with them and beg them to take you as a disciple?" Moli said indifferently.

"How could I! I have Moli as my little master, and I can't even look up to anyone else." Yun Che flattered her, then grinned, his eyes gleaming: "For such a lineup of Tianxuan Realm experts to appear here, the most likely reason is that they are after a certain Xuanbeast, and it must be a high-level one. Otherwise, there would be no need for five Tianxuan experts to act together! High-level Xuanbeasts are full of treasures. If they can kill it together, it will undoubtedly be a huge gain."

"How do you know they aren't just passing by?" Moli asked, glancing sideways.

"Very simple, because their flying speed is very slow, slow enough for me to catch up. Whether they are on a journey or looking for treasures, they should be eager, and their speed shouldn't be this slow. The best explanation is that they are facing a powerful Xuanbeast and are already very close to their target, so they are slowing down, being cautious, and using this time to discuss strategies."

"Even if that's the case, what can you do by following them? A Xuanbeast that requires five Tianxuan experts to deal with must be a high-level Tianxuan Xuanbeast. That level of battle is something you can't get involved in. Are you going to be cannon fodder for them?" Moli said with disdain.

"If my guess is correct and they succeed, I can always get some benefits on the side, right? For example, they might take the Xuanbeast's Xuan Dan, eyes, claws, and teeth... I don't believe they will take away even a bit of the flesh and skin!" Yun Che said, baring his teeth.

"Useless guy." Moli snorted, looking down on him.

The five people in the sky were flying slower and slower, clearly getting closer to their destination, as Yun Che had predicted. Yun Che followed them from a distance, not at all worried about being discovered. Even if he was discovered, he was only at the fourth level of the initial Tianxuan Realm, and they wouldn't even bother to acknowledge him.

"Ahead, there are fierce Xuanbeasts. Those below the tenth level of the initial Tianxuan Realm should not enter."

An old warning sign appeared in front of Yun Che. The Chilong Mountain Range was vast, and the deeper one went, the more ferocious the Xuanbeasts became. However, overall, the Xuanbeasts in the Chilong Mountain Range were not very powerful, but they were still beyond the capabilities of a Xuan practitioner at Yun Che's level.

Not far ahead, another warning sign appeared:

"Ahead, there are high-level Xuanbeasts. Those below the fifth level of the Xuan Realm should leave quickly!"

On the way, Yun Che encountered five warning signs in total. The last warning sign was marked in blood-red letters:

"Chilong Forbidden Zone!"

Only these four words, but they carried a sense of oppressive pressure that made one's heart race.

Everyone in the Qinglin Town knew that the area ahead was absolutely forbidden to enter, as no one who entered it ever returned alive.

At this moment, the five people in the sky also stopped. From a distance, Yun Che vaguely heard their conversation.

"Is it around here?"

"Yes, the red area ahead should be the resting place of the Flame Dragon."

"Have you confirmed the strength of this Flame Dragon?"

"Yes, a tenth-level Tianxuan Xuanbeast! It should be correct. With the presence of the Great Elder, we have no reason not to be able to deal with it!"

"If we can obtain its fire-attribute Xuan Dan, it will certainly allow the young master's Fentian Decision to break through again. If all goes well, in the next Cangfeng ranking battle, we have the confidence to surpass the Xiao Sect, and even the Bingyun Immortal Palace!"

Fentian Decision?

These three words made Yun Che's whole body tremble. Could these five people be from the Fentian Sect of the four major sects of the Cangfeng Empire?

No wonder they could mobilize such a terrifying lineup. They were from the four major sects! One of them was even the Great Elder, meaning that this lineup, even within the Fentian Sect, was a core force!

And their purpose for coming was indeed for a powerful Xuanbeast! The tenth-level Tianxuan Xuanbeast "Flame Dragon" they mentioned—could it be the "Red Dragon" that has been rumored to exist in the Chilong Mountain Range?

"It seems someone has been following us."

"Heh, just a little kid at the initial Tianxuan Realm. Probably saw us fly through the void for the first time and followed without thinking. Hmph, if he wants to die so much, I can send him on his way without waiting for the Flame Dragon to do it."

"Tsk, to take a little kid at the initial Tianxuan Realm seriously, you might as well lose your dignity."

Yun Che's heart suddenly tightened. Although he had been extremely careful on the way, he was clearly discovered. After all, the other side were all terrifying Tianxuan Realm experts.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Che took a step back, with the intention of retreating. After all, his current strength was too weak, and he didn't even have the qualifications to take risks. A slight mistake, and he would lose his life.

He took a few steps back, preparing to leave temporarily, when his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he even faintly heard a "thump" from his heart.

"This is..."

"Thump"..."Thump"...

His heart skipped a beat again, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mind, growing stronger and stronger.

This feeling was...

Yun Che placed his hand on his chest, his face full of surprise... something... was calling me?

Yun Che turned and looked south. This strange feeling was clearly coming from that direction. The feeling was very subtle, a vague and indescribable sensation, yet it made him unable to doubt or resist it...

"What's wrong with you?" Moli, inside the Tiandu Pearl, noticed his unusual state and asked.

"Something over there seems to be calling me," Yun Che said, looking south, his face calm.

"Calling?" Moli's voice was full of surprise.

"It can't be wrong, it's definitely there," Yun Che's brows furrowed slightly: "What could it be? Could it be some kind of special mind-controlling technique... no! The reaction isn't just in my mind, but also in my Xuan pulse! I have to go and see!"

The five people in the sky had already continued forward. If he continued, he would surely die if he encountered even a single Xuanbeast. If the Fentian Sect people discovered he was still following, they might also fear he would be a hindrance and attack him...

After a moment of hesitation, Yun Che gritted his teeth, took out the last Star Conceal Grass, held it in his left hand, and when he released it, it had already turned into a crystal-clear Star Conceal Pill.

Swallowing the Star Conceal Pill, Yun Che's body instantly disappeared as if it had turned into mist. With no form, Yun Che took a step forward and quickly rushed ahead.

The moment he stepped into the "Chilong Forbidden Zone," a wave of heat hit him, making his breathing suddenly constrict. Ahead was a small mountain, not very high. He quickly ran up and stopped at the top, frowning as he looked ahead.

In his line of sight, a large red area appeared. At the center of the red area was a huge cave, about a hundred meters high, with no grass growing around it. Wisps of scorching white steam and flames occasionally spurted from the ground and cracks in the cave, as if it had just been scorched by heavenly fire.

The five people from the Fentian Sect were also now above the cave. From his position, Yun Che could finally see the faces of these five people. Four of them looked to be around fifty years old, with a cluster of red fire embroidered on their robes. The middle-aged person in the center had white hair and a calm expression, radiating a terrifying aura that made Yun Che feel suffocated.

Five Tianxuan Realm experts... the one in the middle was the super-strong expert that Moli had mentioned, who was already half a step away from the Wangxuan Realm!

The Fentian Sect sending such a shocking lineup clearly meant that the Flame Dragon's Xuan Dan was crucial to them.

"It seems the information was indeed correct! Inside is a large fire-type Xuanbeast!" the middle-aged man on the far right said solemnly.

"Don't act rashly. There might be some unpredictable mechanisms in this cave. It's better to lure the Flame Dragon out."

"Then I'll do it!"

The middle-aged man on the far left stepped forward, swung his right hand, and a dark golden long sword, about three feet long, appeared in his hand. The main weapon of the Fentian Sect was a sword, and one of their main Xuan techniques was the "Fentian Sword." When the Fentian Decision was activated, the sword would be engulfed in flames, and the flames would follow the sword, making it extremely powerful.

"Roar!!"

The middle-aged man raised his long sword, and a scorching flame immediately ignited on the blade. With a roar, he slashed downward.

Boom...

A thick fire dragon flew out from the blade, carrying a wave of scorching heat and a whistling wind, rushing towards the front of the huge cave. A loud explosion followed, and the ground, which had been relatively flat, was instantly blown into a large pit several meters deep, with scorched air spreading everywhere.

Even the huge cave itself trembled slightly.
