My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up. He learned from the desert giant that the Fire Supreme was a powerful self-cultivator in the eighth level of the supreme realm.

Qingfeng Li was only level two of the supreme realm. If it was within three levels, he could have managed, but the difference of six levels meant that Qingfeng Li couldn’t deal with the Fire Supreme.

The second prince’s eyes were filled with hopelessness. The reason he was here in the Crimson Fire Desert was to get the monarch soul fruit and bring it back to extend his father’s life.

There was another reason as well, and that was to become the heir to the thorn and the next Emperor of Lingyun, but now it seemed like everything was falling apart.

Level eight of the supreme realm, just the thought of it made the second prince tremble in fear. That master could kill him with one slap.

Mengyao Xu’s brows tensed up as well. Even though her relationship with the Emperor of Lingyun wasn’t close, the Emperor was still extremely nice and showed good hospitality towards her.

Mengyao Xu also wanted to get the fruit and extend the Emperor’s life. After all, she wanted to continue her self-cultivation in Lingyun’s royal palace as well.

The royal palace had the best location among the five nations of the Crimson Fire Continent; it was right under the Fairy Star and could attract the light emitted by the star. If it was any other place, Mengyao Xu would not be able to practice.

Mengyao Xu looked at Qingfeng Li and said, “What should we do now? Our enemy is too powerful. How could we get the fruit if we cannot even pass through here?”

Qingfeng Li’s eyes lit up and he whispered, “Have you heard the saying: when shepherds quarrel, the wolf is the true winner? What we have to do now is to just sit tight and do nothing.”

Mengyao Xu was extremely smart and understood what Qingfeng Li meant. They were going to wait for the others to fight each other, get tired, and steal their monarch soul fruit.

“We will back off 2000 meters and hide our presence. This way they will not be able to find us.” Qingfeng Li left with Mengyao Xu, the second prince, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and Li Yang.

Qingfeng Li and the others backed off 2000 meters and hid behind a desert hill.

They even covered themselves with sand to hide their presence; this way the heat and the vital essence from their body wouldn’t emit. They only left their eyes out to observe the monarch soul fruit in front of them.

A huge fight broke out beside the fruit. The red fire killed more than 100 self-cultivators, but there were still more than 4000 alive. They all backed off, but they didn’t give up.

Even though the fire from the Fire Supreme was extremely powerful, the other self-cultivators were all heirs to their individual forces and were all powerful as well.

Their emperors or sects all gave them powerful spiritual treasures when they left, some of them were equal to the strength of an eighth level supreme realm master.

There were even some forbidden spiritual treasures that were able to initiate attacks equal to ninth level of the supreme realm. Thus, they weren’t too scared of it.

But these princes, princesses, and heirs all had their own secret plans, so they didn’t want to bring out their forbidden spiritual treasures just yet.

There was only one chance to use the forbidden attack, after which their enemy would be on guard. If they were to use it to extinguish the fire by the Fire Supreme, the people around them would take the fruit instead.

The Crown Prince of Lingyun’s brows tensed up, and he said to the crowd, “Prince of Fiery-Sun, Golden-Arrow, Clear-Wood, and Soil-Border, you guys are all heirs to your own nations.”

“I believe your fathers all gave you powerful spiritual treasures. You guys don’t need to hide it anymore, we can only defeat the Fire Supreme with our spiritual treasures. Or else, no one can get the fruit.”

Fiery-Sun’s Prince said, “Your thought is good, but we are all enemies to each other. No one will show their cards; that would only put them at a disadvantage.”

Clear-Wood’s prince said, “Prince of Fiery-Sun, if we were to follow what you said, and no one uses any forbidden attacks. We will not defeat the enemy in front of us nor get the fruit.”

Golden-Arrow country’s prince said, “I have a good method. We all draw a ballot and form a short alliance. Whoever is chosen will use their secret attack and defeat the enemy. Then we will all share a bit of our fruit to the person that won the lottery.”

Everyone nodded and thought what he said made sense. After all, they all looked down at each other, so drawing a ballot was the only way.

There was only one monarch soul fruit, but the tree that it came from, the branches and leaves, were all powerful elixirs as well.

The other self-cultivators all looked at them quietly because they knew they had no rights to talk to the heirs of the five nations.

But there were some exceptions, and they were the Sword Supreme Sect, the Saber Supreme Sect, and the Black Elixir Sect. They were powerful sects within the nations and had the same power and forces as the nations.

Naturally they wouldn’t let the heirs grab everything as their own.

Yangtian Jing, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang all came over. Yangtian Jing was the first one to talk, “Prince of Lingyun, what makes you think that only you five have the right to participate. Us three have the rights as well.”

The heirs all tensed their brows because they didn’t want too many people to participate.

This was because there was only one emperor soul fruit and a limited number of branches.

But Yangtian Jing, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang weren’t weaker than them and they all had their own spiritual weapons and techniques, so they had to allow them to participate as well. The number of participants increased from five to eight.

No one noticed that Qingfeng Li wasn’t here anymore. They all selectively forgot about him, but funnily, Qingfeng Li was under a hill 2000 meters away from them. He was looking at them with contempt.

Qingfeng Li himself had the Golden Flames, a saint level fire. He knew how powerful the fire was, which was one of the most powerful attacks between heavens and earth.

If Qingfeng Li were to use his Golden Flames, then maybe he could defeat the fire from the Fire Supreme. But if he were to fight the Fire Supreme on his own, Qingfeng Li was definitely not his opponent.
