BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2 - 2 Terror Exists_1
“Yes, senior!”
Mu Qianning was overjoyed to see the senior in front of her responding. She said, “Senior, we are from the Lihuo Sect. Please lend us your aid. We will never forget this great kindness and favor…”
Li Fan grimaced with a toothache. What are these people doing?
Weren’t they all fine just a moment ago?
Their physical stamina is really poor; having just dismounted, they can’t even walk anymore—especially the men, who are even weaker than the girls…
However, the other party said they are from the Lihuo Sect?
That name, Li Fan seemed to have heard of it.
He couldn’t help but walk over. The dust and smoke around were a bit thick, so he lightly fanned in front of himself and asked, “You are from the Lihuo Sect?”
However, Mu Qianning and the others had their colors change dramatically, their eyes revealing shock and terror!
“He… He just casually fanned, and the chaotic Earth’s Way energy has all dissipated?!”
Ren Hong couldn’t even get his words out clearly.
Too, too terrifying!
Mu Qianning was also completely dumbstruck. When the senior in front of her casually waved his horsetail whisk, she clearly saw the flow of Earth’s Way, impervious to all laws!
What kind of tremendous power could this be?!
Moreover, in an instant, the pressure on their bodies had all disappeared.
“You are from the Lihuo Sect?”
Seeing that they didn’t answer, Li Fan asked again.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, junior Mu Qianning from the Lihuo Sect, greets senior!”
She paid her respects deeply!
Ren Hong was even prostrating on the ground!
Li Fan was surprised. The person in front of him was the Lihuo Sect’s Saintess?
Indeed, she had a striking appearance…
But why call him senior, and pay such respects? Had they gone mad?
Li Fan said, “I am no senior, just an ordinary person. What brings you here?”
An ordinary person?
Mu Qianning didn’t believe it for an instant, but remained as respectful as before, and said, “To report to senior, we are here… to find something.”
Although she was astonished by the formidable strength of the senior before her, she dared not disclose the matter that concerned the rise and fall of their sect.
“Looking for something? This place is too big, with your stamina, I fear you won’t be able to travel far,” said Li Fan, shaking his head.
These people, they lack exercise on normal days, and now they can’t even walk a few steps…
Mu Qianning was greatly shocked. From the senior’s words, it seemed he was very familiar with this place…
She and her companions couldn’t even overcome the first restriction, so it was impossible to find that item…
However, if they could get the help of this senior…
Yet, would such an exalted figure help them?
Thinking of the survival of the Lihuo Sect, she gritted her teeth, kneeled on the ground, and said, “Senior, I take the liberty of asking for your help! Junior is willing to pay any price if senior would take action!”
Li Fan, seeing the sincerity of the other party, found it hard to refuse. He was familiar with this place, so leading the way wouldn’t be a big deal.
“That’s not a problem, but your stamina…”
With so many people, what if they all collapse from exhaustion later on?
Mu Qianning quickly said, “Senior, you only need to take me; the others don’t need to come!”
Li Fan thought for a moment, “Alright.”
Mu Qianning was ecstatic and extremely grateful!
“The path ahead is quite complex, make sure you don’t lose track of me,” said Li Fan as he continued forward.
Mu Qianning hurriedly followed behind Li Fan, but soon fear flickered across her face. Ahead of them was an invisible fire ocean!
Ordinary people might not see it, but she could feel that annihilating terror.
The destructive energy around the periphery was just an overflow from that fire ocean.
And in that invisible fire ocean were the terrifying flames of the Samadhi True Fire.
A wisp of it could burn a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to death!
No wonder this was called a place of no return… A chill went through Mu Qianning!
“Keep up,” said Li Fan, looking back.
They had barely taken a few steps!
“Of course, senior!”
Mu Qianning braced herself; now she could only follow this senior.
The next moment, she saw the senior step into the invisible fire ocean!
“`
In that instant, within the invisible sea of fire that destroyed everything, a true void suddenly appeared!
The flames receded by a long stretch!
Mu Qianning took a sharp breath, what kind of technique was this?
It was too terrifying!
She hurried to catch up!
Before long, they had crossed the invisible sea of fire.
Li Fan reached the wood-cutting area and asked, “What are you looking for?”
Mu Qianning was now utterly impressed with the senior before her and replied, “The Divine Water Bead!”
“A deep green bead, our sect’s sacred treasure. Many years ago, it was brought here by our ancestor, but after our ancestor fell, the bead was lost…”
Li Fan suddenly remembered that every time he seemed to go woodcutting, he would encounter such a bead.
But he had never been interested in jewels, and would throw it away if he found one.
“I think I’ve seen it… you can follow me, I remember it’s in the forest.”
Mu Qianning was overjoyed upon hearing this.
However, when she followed Li Fan to the “forest,” she was stunned!
It was a forest of fiery red trees.
Each one was tall and sturdy!
Every leaf was rich with fire properties, one leaf enough to aid in comprehending the Dao!
“Xuanhuo Wood, hard and indestructible, even cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage cannot harm it in the slightest, known as the Ten-Thousand-Year Indestructible Tree, growing amongst fierce flames…”
She murmured, her heart trembling; the senior intended to cut down Xuanhuo Wood?
Meanwhile, Li Fan had already raised his axe to cut the trees!
“Crack—”
A large tree crashed to the ground thunderously.
Mu Qianning was shocked; with every swing of Li Fan’s axe, she seemed to witness the collapse of the great Dao!
What kind of axe was this?
Too terrifying.
“What kind of terrifying being have I encountered?”
Shortly, Li Fan finished cutting trees, a bit tired, he opened his water flask and took a sip.
“You must be thirsty, right?”
He said as he passed the flask over.
Mu Qianning subconsciously took it. Although she was protected by the senior, her cultivation was too low, and she still felt a bit scorched.
The sweet well water, as it entered her stomach, made her feel comfortable.
But the next moment, she was suddenly stunned.
Her aura soared abruptly!
Directly from the Golden Core Second Level, she leaped to the Golden Core Third Level!
And it didn’t stop there!
Golden Core Fourth Level!
Quintuple Heaven!
…uninterruptedly breaking through all the way to the Nine Heavens!
Golden Core Perfection!
Looking at the flask in her hand, she was incredulous to the extreme; what kind of Jade Liquid Fine Wine was this…
She was dying to take a few more big swigs!
But she took a deep breath instead.
She could not, in front of the senior, appear greedy; she had to maintain her image!
“Thank you, senior!”
She respectfully handed back the flask.
“Hmm… I sense the presence of the Divine Water Bead!”
At that moment, her expression changed dramatically; her consciousness had become much sharper after the substantial increase in her cultivation.
She saw a streak of green light, flying from who knows where, swiftly approaching, and then turning into a bead, rolling to a stop at Li Fan’s feet!
“Treasure seeking protection…”
She was shaken; she had long known that the Divine Water Bead, a treasure of the sect, was sentient!
It was actually coming to Li Fan on its own?
“Hmm, found it.”
Li Fan casually picked up the bead, thinking his luck wasn’t too bad, and handed it to Mu Qianning, saying, “Here, the bead you were looking for.”
“For, for me?”
For a moment, Mu Qianning was at a loss for words!
