The next morning, Little Fairy Doctor and I got up early. We called Zi Yan and the others over, had breakfast together in the room, and told them that I was going to Burning Flame Valley.
Zi Yan immediately clamored to come along for fun. I laughed. "If you want to go, then come with me."
Having a few people by my side would be good too. Zi Yan was no weak fighter, and those two lackeys, Qiu Yin and Qiu Si, never left her side.
After breakfast, I said goodbye to Tang Xu. He pointed out the location of Burning Flame Valley's mountain gate, deep within the Blazing Flame Mountain Range. It was not too far from Blazing Fire City; at a Dou Emperor's flying speed, it would take roughly two hours to reach it.
"Grandmaster Nalan, may your journey be smooth." Tang Xu cupped his hands in farewell.
"Innkeeper, no need to see us off!"
With a hearty laugh, Zi Yan, Qiu Yin, Qiu Si, and I formed Dou Qi Wings and beat them as we flew out of Blazing Fire City, soaring in the direction Tang Xu had indicated before quickly vanishing beyond the horizon.
Little Fairy Doctor was left alone at the Heavenly Flame Inn. Leaning against the window, she watched our departing figures, her little lips pursed. "Being so secretive... I wonder what they're going to do. I just hope they won't run into any danger."
The Blazing Flame Mountain Range was the chain of volcanoes visible from afar in Blazing Fire City, known as the "Eight Hundred Volcanoes." Billowing smoke blanketed the skies above the entire range. Countless Fire Attribute and Earth Attribute magical beasts lived within it, fierce and violent by nature, and ordinary people did not dare set foot inside.
