Playing Outside the Rules
The Rain Clan members tried to escape, but Huo Ling'er didn't let them go. She breathed fire, burning and killing the Rain Clan members who were pursuing her.
"Damn it, you forced me to do this."
The Rain Clan's powerful figure could no longer tolerate this. The fire spewed by Huo Ling'er was drawing ever closer; he refused to sit idly by and await his death. With his life hanging in the balance, he disregarded the distinction between Fire Emperor Fire Emperor Vermilion Bird Vermilion Bird. His hands moved, and six lightning-infused needles formed a circle, hovering in mid-air.
Under the control of the Rain Clan man, the tip of the lightning rod was aimed at Huo Ling'er. With a wave of his hand, the lightning rod shot towards Huo Ling'er.
"Be careful, that's Soul Extinguishing Array."
Bird Grandpa loudly reminded Huo Ling'er.
For soul entities, besides fire, lightning energy is also their nemesis.
Six Soul Extinguishing Needle shot towards Huo Ling'er Huo Ling'er, forcing her to stop attacking and dodge God Extinguishing Needle attacks.
Bird Grandpa, who was watching from the sidelines, asked curiously, "Old friend, who do you think will win between that little girl and those idiots?"
Fool?
This is Bird Grandpa's evaluation of the Rain Clan members.
These people recklessly attacked Ye Feng and his group. In Bird Grandpa's eyes, they were utterly foolish. Huo Ling'er, Ye Feng, and the others had clearly broken so many records, yet they naively believed that they could kill Ye Feng and his companions with some Precious Artifact. What else could they be but idiots? The geniuses who created the latest records in the Illusory God Realm were not ordinary people, people who could be killed by just anyone.
"I think it's that little girl," Essence Wall Grandpa replied.
"Yes, I think so too." Bird Grandpa agreed and continued, "That little girl has a strange purplish-red flame, she may possess some kind of rare sacred body. You know, since we both think these children are exceptionally talented and have great potential, why not find an opportunity to do them a favor? Maybe we'll need their help in the future."
"That makes sense. That's shameless." Essence Wall Grandpa and Bird Grandpa immediately agreed.
Ahead, Huo Ling'er dodged left and right, avoiding the attacks of the God Extinguishing Needle. At one moment, Huo Ling'er hurtled towards the Rain Clan Rain Clan. Just as she was about to collide with him, she suddenly shot into the sky at a ninety-degree angle.
"Oh no."
The Rain Clan expert cried out in alarm. The God Extinguishing Needle was moving too fast to stop. He tried to control God Extinguishing Needle, but its God Extinguishing Needle caused it to strike his body.
"Ha ha..."
Shi Hao laughed loudly, "He killed himself."
With the death of a powerful Rain Clan, the God Extinguishing Needle lost its master and fell to the ground.
Huo Ling'er landed gracefully on the ground and picked up the six God Extinguishing Needle.
"The God Extinguishing Needle can completely annihilate a person's Divine Sense. Even if someone in the Illusory God Realm is affected, their true body will die." Huo Ling'er, as the princess of the Fire Nation, knew the purpose of the God Extinguishing Needle. Looking at the other members of the Rain Clan who had already fled far away, she said, "Did they come to deliver treasures?"
Huo Ling'er felt that the Rain Clan had definitely come to deliver treasures.
To kill them, at least one truly powerful expert, or a prodigy, would be needed. But the person who came was neither here nor there. They were no match for her at all. And this very person even carried the God Extinguishing Needle. What else could this be but a gift of treasure?
Huo Ling'er wanted to hunt down the remaining members of the Rain Clan, but as soon as she took a step, Ye Feng grabbed her hand.
Ye Feng stopped Huo Ling'er and said, "Let them go."
"You're being kind to them?"
"No, that's not it... I wanted them to lead the way."
"Lead the way?"
"Yes. The Rain Clan is always causing us trouble. They never learn their lesson. I've decided to teach them a lesson. Once they go back, they'll definitely return to the Rain Clan's cave. If we follow them, we'll be able to find the Rain Clan's cave."
"Good."
Huo Ling'er, relying on the support of the Fire Emperor and the Vermilion Bird, was fearless. Upon hearing that Ye Feng was going to destroy the Rain Clan's stronghold in the Illusory God Realm, she became incredibly excited, as if she had been injected with Blood One.
"Congratulations, Huo Ling'er, for defeating a powerful enemy in the shortest time. You have killed a large number of enemies. Reward: one Bronze Fragment."
A stone tablet appeared out of thin air. Then, a Bronze Fragment floated to Huo Ling'er's front.
"Bronze Fragment".
Huo Ling'er held the Bronze Fragment, feeling a warm sensation in her palm. This item was clearly no ordinary object.
"What is this?" Shi Hao asked, puzzled, looking curiously at the fragment in Huo Ling'er's palm.
"So stingy..." Shi Er Meng pouted, feeling very indignant for Huo Ling'er: "She only rewarded her with a piece of broken copper."
"Yes, the Illusory God Realm is far too stingy." Stone Skin Monkey also felt sorry for Huo Ling'er.
"Hiss~ How dare they insult the Illusory God Realm!"
Bird Grandpa exclaimed in surprise.
You must understand, this is the Illusory God Realm. The Illusory God Realm possesses a certain degree of intelligence. In the past, there have been people who have criticized the Illusory God Realm, and what was the result? They were expelled by the Illusory God Realm.
This is just Stone Skin Monkey. If it were someone unrelated to Ye Feng, they would definitely be expelled from the Illusory God Realm. The Illusory God Realm turns a blind eye only because of Ye Feng Stone Skin Monkey's sake.
"Huh... the Illusory God Realm is silent."
Despite his confusion, Essence Wall Grandpa excitedly approached Huo Ling'er and said, "Little girl, do you want the Treasure Blood, or the supreme treasure technique and top-grade treasure bone? I'm willing to trade you for the fragment you have."
"Pooh..."
Essence Wall Grandpa seemed to have forgotten that he had just told Bird Grandpa that he would take the opportunity to do Ye Feng and the others a favor. Seeing that Bird Grandpa wanted to "steal" the Bronze Fragment, he spat at Bird Grandpa without hesitation and said, "Shameless scoundrel, don't fall for a swindler's trick. Give me that bronze fragment, and I'll agree to whatever conditions you ask, even if you ask me to repay you with my body."
"What the heck, you're offering yourself in return?" Bird Grandpa seized the opportunity to expose her, cursing, "Who did you call shameless? You're even more shameless than me. Little girl, think it over. The precious technique I'll teach you will definitely boost your strength significantly."
"Stop."
Shi Hao exclaimed, "Would you do a losing deal? This must be a treasure. This copper piece belongs to Fatty. Fatty, don't trade with them!"
"Um."
Huo Ling'er nodded, began to explain what was going on, and looked at the Rain Clan members who had already fled, calling out, "Let's hurry and follow them, lest they get too far away."
"Ding-dong!"
"Congratulations! By having Huo Ling'er by your side, you've enabled Huo Ling'er to create a record that originally belonged to Shi Hao. You've also helped Huo Ling'er obtain a Bronze Fragment, thus overturning the original storyline. Reward: 24 Attribute Points."
Meanwhile, in the higher-level blessed lands, there are important burial grounds belonging to various powerful families and ancient clans.
The latest records from the Illusory God Realm also reached their ears.
"What?! Someone has obtained a fragment of the Primordial God Tome?!"
"Huo Ling'er... I remember that Huo Ling'er is the Fire Emperor's Daughter. This is a bit troublesome. To deal with her, we must be prepared to face the wrath of the Fire Emperor."
"This is the Illusory God Realm. If we can't do it openly, can't we at least try something covert?"
Various powerful families and ancient clans, unable to resist the allure of the Primordial God Tome, dispatched their disciples to investigate Huo Ling'er's whereabouts.
