He certainly remembered the Great Heaven Rank guy Jiang Wanli found earlier, whom he had chopped off the left arm, also dressed in a head-to-toe black robe, so, if nothing unexpected happened, it should be that lingering old fellow.

”The ancient saying doesn’t deceive me, it’s truly letting the tiger return to the mountain! Is he from that Dragon King Mansion...” Chen Fei murmured, his eyes filled with a faint cold light.

”You have to be more careful this time. That Dragon King Mansion is one of the seven royal mansions of the Inner Region, wielding immense power, and each of those Five-colored Spirit Generals are Great Heaven Rank figures! Very formidable...” Qi Xuchong reminded solemnly. Being a strong expert of Great Heaven Rank himself, he knew well how formidable people of this realm and level were.

Moreover, those Five-colored Spirit Generals are now five in number! Five Great Heaven Ranks, it’s too much pressure. In such a situation, even if it were him facing it, he wouldn’t know what to do, let alone Chen Fei.

Because he knew that Chen Fei was not even at the Great Heaven Rank yet!!

”Five Great Heaven Ranks?” However, upon hearing this, Chen Fei unconsciously touched his chin and chuckled playfully, ”Just five Great Heaven Ranks trying to kill me? That guy must have something wrong with his head...”

”W-What did you say?” Qi Xuchong was stunned, as if he hadn’t heard clearly what Chen Fei had just said.

”Nothing much.” Chen Fei shook his head with a smile, and asked, ”Senior, has the Phoenix Heaven Bird awakened? Is everything alright?”

”Yes, everything’s fine, and the Guardian Divine Bird has also broken through to the level of a Demon King of Great Heaven Rank. It kept wanting me to tell you that it owes you a favor...” Qi Xuchong gritted his teeth, saying, ”Otherwise, how about this, I talked to the Ice Demon Marquis, and he is willing to come to aid. By then, I, the Guardian Divine Bird, and the Ice Demon Marquis can act secretly, dragging those Five-colored Spirit Generals shouldn’t be a problem... Take this chance, you escape quickly amidst the chaos!”

To Chen Fei, this was undoubtedly good news. Most importantly, someone was willing to come to his aid, which made him very grateful, because doing so would risk offending that Dragon King Mansion, yet Qi Xuchong was still willing to do it! This was friendship, and it was a favor.

”Thank you for your concern, Senior, but let me handle this matter myself.” Chen Fei casually said.

”Handle it yourself?” Outside the grave, Qi Xuchong’s voice rose, his pupils gradually enlarging, ”You wouldn’t be thinking...”

”Isn’t it delightful to have friends come from afar? They’ve specifically come from the Inner Region to find me, how could it be appropriate not to greet them ’seriously’?” Chen Fei said, then laughed, ”Rest assured, Senior. I can handle this myself. Since it involves that Dragon King Mansion, it’d be best if you all refrain from getting involved as much as possible.”

”But you...” Qi Xuchong was struck by the audacity in Chen Fei’s words. The opponent had five Great Heaven Rank figures, and he said he could handle it?

”Let them wait outside a bit longer. Senior, I need to prepare a little on my side, so let’s leave it at that for now.” With that, Chen Fei exerted force with his palm, and the communication spirit talisman shattered as it was a one-time-use item, usable only once.

”Five-colored Spirit Generals?” Chen Fei squinted his eyes, murmuring with a smile, ”Just perfect, I still don’t quite know my true level of power now, so having a few to test on isn’t bad...”

Then he paused slightly and murmured again, ”But before that, I have to refine this Illusory Demon Flame first. Better safe than sorry.”

With that, a blood-red demon flame appeared in his hand. It was the Illusory Demon Flame he snatched from Yug Zhan’s hand!

This flame is of high quality, if he could refine it using the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, its power could rise by several levels, which wouldn’t be impossible.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei sat down cross-legged again, and with a gulp, the Illusory Demon Flame was swallowed into his abdomen.

”Hiss...”

Instantly, a sizzling sound escaped Chen Fei’s teeth as if his body was boiling, becoming the battlefield for the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart and the Illusory Demon Flame! His blood, True Yuan, Sword Intent were all stirred, surging violently.

It was very painful! His whole body was burning with high temperatures, but compared to the time he refined the Three Thunder Emerald Divine Radiance before, it was a far cry. So for Chen Fei, it was just a small ordeal, and he felt no pressure.

Soon, with a loud bang, a horrifying Illusory Demon Flame suddenly erupted on Chen Fei’s body, but it was only a moment before it was engulfed by the incessant Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart.

Thus, Chen Fei, his whole body bathed within those powerful flames! At this moment, the ”Purple Firmament Judgement Technique” also started operating, protecting Chen Fei from the high temperatures, leaving no harm.

And riding this momentum, Chen Fei directly began controlling the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart to devour the Illusory Demon Flame…

In this way, time flew by swiftly again.

Ten days later, Chen Fei had turned into a man of fire. The Illusory Demon Flame was making its final struggle.

Twenty days later, the Illusory Demon Flame was only the size of a fist, while the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart transformed into a single-horned fire dragon, launching a fierce last assault on it.

Thirty days later, the last thumb-sized Illusory Demon Flame was finally completely devoured by the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, disappearing into the world! At the same time, the single-horned fire dragon formed by the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart reached an unprecedented new height in its might! Very intimidating.

”This time it seems I’ve hit the jackpot. The power of my Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart shouldn’t be inferior to the ’Snow Demon Bone Fire’ I saw in that illusionary array earlier.” Chen Fei’s face was filled with a satisfied smile. Of a quality enough to rival the ’Snow Demon Bone Fire’, at the very least, it would support his cultivation to the King Realm! Of course, that was more than enough.

Roar!

In the next moment, Chen Fei raised his hand, and the unihorn fire dragon transformed from the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart raised its head and let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar. At the same time, Chen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up, and looked towards the direction of the grave entrance, a faint hint of indifference curling at the corner of his mouth.

”Now that everything is ready, it’s time to go out and have a look. Xiaolong King Mansion’s Five-colored Spirit Generals, huh? Sounds decent, but I hope they won’t disappoint me too much.”

As his voice fell, Chen Fei soared into the sky, stepping on the unihorn fire dragon transformed from the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, as if he was reigning over the world, heading towards the entrance of the grave...

Meanwhile, outside the grave.

The Xiaolong King Mansion’s Five-colored Spirit Generals and others had been standing guard here for more than four months. And in these four months, many gazes, whether from the Inner Region or the Outer Domain, were drawn to this area without a moment’s break.

Because everyone knew that the people of the Inner Region always looked down on the barrenness of the Outer Domain, let alone that this was one of the seven great royal mansions of the Inner Region, the Xiaolong King Mansion’s elite—the Five-colored Spirit Generals! They were no fools, to stand guard here for over four months with such longing eyes, who would believe there was nothing amiss?

Thus, more and more experts from the Inner Region came out of curiosity after hearing the news. And the atmosphere outside the grave, upon the gradual arrival of those Inner Region experts and strong figures, became somewhat stifling.

On a mountain in the northwest, a monk-like elder with a smile sat quietly on a large rock reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha. Many people were moved when they saw him: ”The Tiansong Buddha of the Red Ancient Sect? Even this wild monk has shown up!”

In a dark ditch to the east, a shadow stood silently, without a sound, but no one dared to ignore him.

”The Seventh Kill of the Seven Killings Tower! What’s this lunatic doing here instead of murdering and seeking enlightenment in the Heavenly Origin Plains?” Among the Five-colored Spirit Generals, the Water General, dressed in azure armor, touched an old scar on his face and muttered malevolently.

This scar was exactly inflicted by the ’Seventh Kill’! Even to this day, it occasionally throbbed with pain.

Beside him, the Fire General, leader of the Five-colored Spirit Generals, remained silent, but his attention was clearly riveted on another figure not far away.

It was a crow, its plumage entirely black, exuding a fearsome metallic luster, a single leg, inducing a chilling dread! But these were not the main points. The critical point was the pressure subtly emanating from the body of the one-legged crow, which suppressed everyone there! Whether it was the Tiansong Buddha, or the Seventh Kill, or even the five Five-colored Spirit Generals, all were the same.

After a long while, the pressure overwhelmed the Five-colored Spirit Generals and others, and the Fire General’s expression darkened, muttering grimly: ”Why is that cursed crow from the Polar Demon Palace here? Isn’t their situation quite dire lately?”

Although together their combined power was comparable to the peak of the Great Heaven Rank, that damned crow, however, was a peak Demon King of the Great Heaven Rank... Damn it, things have truly become complicated now.

In irritation, the Fire General shifted his gaze to the grave entrance.

”It’s been over four months already...” he muttered, while a shadow of ’the situation slipping out of control’ began to cloud his eyes. Then, with a hint of fury, he growled, ”What the hell is that guy doing inside? Could it be that he knows we’re guarding outside and doesn’t dare to come out...”

Before he could finish his sentence, his irritable eyes suddenly narrowed. Following this, a faint trace of greed and murderous intent surfaced.

At the mouth of the grave, like the maw of some abyssal beast, a young figure, under the countless focused gazes, slowly walked out.

”Tu Qianshan?” Beside him, the Earth General of the Five-colored Spirit Generals licked his lips and asked.

”It’s him!” Tu Qianshan coldly stared at Chen Fei, said.

”Then take action! Capture him first and we’ll see!” As the Fire General’s shout erupted, in an instant, a destructive wave of flame energy transformed into a tide and rushed towards Chen Fei, extremely fierce and terrifying.

”Just attacking like this? Could it really be a vendetta...” Sensing this, everyone raised their heads sharply, then frowned. The Five-colored Spirit Generals had attacked without saying a word, could it be that they came here only for murder!?

Roar! Just then, from the end of the horizon at the grave entrance, a dragon roar suddenly erupted! Instantly, that destructive flame energy from the Fire General was swallowed by a massive unihorn fire dragon?

”What!?” The Five-colored Spirit Generals’ expressions changed drastically, eyes narrowing.

Upon witnessing this scene, others too drew in a sharp breath. Because it seemed, the person whom the Five-colored Spirit Generals wanted to kill, was possibly not a weakling at all!
