Chapter 272

"Since you are from Fenyang Valley, that's perfect. I have a favor to ask of you!"

Guessing that the person in front of her mistook her for a Dou Sheng, Yun Li didn't explain further. After confirming that they were from Fenyang Valley, she directly stated her purpose.

"Please give your instructions, Senior Yun Li. As long as it is within the capabilities of my Fenyang Valley, we will do our utmost."

Hearing Yun Li's words, Tang Zhen felt a little relieved. It was just a favor, and things didn't seem so bad, which was naturally the best outcome.

Making an enemy of a Dou Sheng powerhouse, even with the trump card of the Supreme Elder, is not a good thing. It's completely exposed to outsiders, and it's unclear what Hun Dan will do.

"It's nothing difficult, I just want to borrow the strange fire from your Fenyang Valley."

After speaking, Yun Li felt that her words were somewhat forceful. Although she could directly force them to hand it over, what difference would that make between her and those bad people?

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Of course, I can offer compensation."

"Strange Fire?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's expression changed visibly; it turned out he had come for the strange fire of his Fenyang Valley.

"No, absolutely not! The Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire is the key to the inheritance of my Fenyang Valley. How can we lend it to others?"

Before Tang Zhen could say anything, the elders around him couldn't sit still any longer.

Although the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire is not as important to Fenyang Valley as the Fallen Heart Flame is to the Jia Nan Academy, it is still extremely important.

This is proof of the Valley Master's inheritance. In other words, to become the Valley Master of Fenyang Valley, besides strength, one must also subdue the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire.

How could we possibly hand over such a core component to outsiders? Absolutely not.

But as soon as the elder finished speaking, he was pressed to the ground by a tremendous force.

Did I give you permission to speak?

Yun Li had appeared in front of the elder without anyone noticing, and the Old Iron in her hand was pressing down on him.

These guys are so annoying. Even the leader, a Dou Zun, hasn't said a word. They always speak so self-righteously.

Do you really think she's easy to bully?

"I... I..."

Looking at the heavy sword on his body and feeling the aura of death, the elder turned pale and instantly became obedient.

The other elders were much the same.

"Is your management of subordinates in Fenyang Valley really this lax?"

After pressing the man down with the Old Iron, Yun Li turned to look at Tang Zhen and asked him in confusion.

"Well..."

Tang Zhen didn't know how to explain. Although he was the Valley Master and the most powerful person in the entire Fenyang Valley on the surface, the management style of Fenyang Valley was somewhat different from other forces.

The Burning Flame Valley is mainly composed of elders, who wield considerable influence within the valley.

Even the learners of their Fenyang Valley's core cultivation technique, "Heavenly Flame Three Profound Transformations," are controlled by the Elders' Council. Only those who pass the examination can learn it, and the Elders' Council is responsible for the examination. Even the Valley Master has no right to interfere.

Therefore, in many cases, these elders can make decisions on their own without needing his consent.

"Senior Yun Li, how do you intend to borrow it? The strange fire of our Fenyang Valley is different from other strange fires, and outsiders can hardly use it."

"So..."

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Zhen explained the situation of the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire to Yun Li.

Unlike other strange flames, the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire has been passed down by the Fenyang Valley for hundreds of years, and generations of powerful figures have left indelible blood and soul marks on its source.

Unless one cultivates the "Clear Nether Nether Flame Art," the valley-suppressing technique of the Fenyang Valley, even if one obtains the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire, it is absolutely impossible to keep it for one's own use.

"Don't worry about that, I have a way."

As she spoke, Yun Li raised her right hand, and three strange flames appeared in her hand at the same time.

The golden flame in particular instilled a sense of fear in Tang Zhen, and even the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire on his body seemed to tremble with terror.

Indeed, the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire of the Fenyang Valley is on his body.

He did want to pass on this strange fire to his daughter, but unfortunately... that's what caused the big problem.

Three different flames? How is that possible!

"How could one person possess three different flames at the same time, and that golden flame could even burn space itself?"

The elders of Fenyang Valley were greatly shocked when they saw the strange fire in Yun Li's hand.

It's common knowledge that a Yaoshi can only subdue one different flame; to master three at the same time is simply unheard of.

What's even more incomprehensible is that Yun Li already possesses three different flames, so why does she still need to borrow the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire from Fenyang Valley?

Although the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire is powerful, it can't compare to that golden strange fire.

"Senior Yun Li, may I ask if you are a Yaoshi?"

Compared to being shocked by the number of strange flames controlled by Yun Li, Tang Zhen suddenly thought of something and hesitantly asked Yun Li about it.

Being able to master multiple different flames simultaneously greatly increases the likelihood that one is a high-level Yaoshi. If one is an eighth-level Yaoshi, then there might be hope for the treatment of one's daughter.

"No, I am Sword Forger."

Yun Li withdrew the strange fire and shook her head.

"Isn't that right?"

This answer disappointed Tang Zhen somewhat; it seemed that Huo'er's situation was not so easy to resolve.

"I heard that Valley Master Tang's beloved daughter is unwell, so he has been searching for Yaoshi every year to concoct medicines to treat her."

"Although I'm not exactly a Yaoshi, I do possess some healing skills. In exchange for the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire, I can treat that young lady. What do you say?"

"... If it's just a loan, I can consider it."

Tang Zhen hesitated upon hearing this. Although Yun Li was not a Yaoshi, as a Saint Venerable, she might have some unexpected way to cure his daughter.

Tang Zhen was willing to give up almost everything for Tang Huo'er. As long as it wasn't a closely guarded secret of the Fenyang Valley, he wouldn't be stingy.

The Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire is certainly precious, but it is only being borrowed, which is not unacceptable.

More importantly, if they rashly refuse, it would be bad for Fenyang Valley to become hostile to a Dou Sheng.

"Valley Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

Seeing that their Valley Master was clearly conflicted and even tempted, the surrounding elders became nervous.

Borrow? Even if you borrow it, you probably won't pay it back!

Although they didn't think an outsider could subdue the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire, Yun Li's unconventional mastery of three different flames might actually allow her to do what they considered impossible.

However, Tang Zhen made up his mind at this moment.

"No need to say anything more. As long as you can save Huo'er, we can discuss everything."

He only has one daughter.

Without a solution to her physical condition, Huo'er can only hold on for a few more years at most; she can't afford to delay any longer.

Although he had considered having the people from Danta take action, their demands were too high.

"If I am unable to heal that young lady, I'll pretend I never said anything if you lend me the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire, how about that?"

Yun Li spoke with considerable confidence: if even the Abundance Divine Power couldn't heal him, then there was no one in this world who could possibly cure Tang Huo'er.

In reality, Tang Huo'er was cured in the original novel using a high-grade seventh-rank pill called Fire Bodhi Pill.

Although she didn't have the Fire Bodhi Pill, her things weren't necessarily inferior to that pill.

"Then I'll leave it to Senior Yun Li."

Seeing Yun Li say this, Tang Zhen felt much more at ease, and the other elders didn't say anything more, deciding to discuss the details after the treatment was over.

In fact, Yun Li's attitude was already quite friendly. If it were someone more ruthless, they wouldn't bother talking to you; they would just attack and kill you.

However, one thing that gives them extra confidence is that outsiders don't know that their Fenyang Valley also has a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) in charge.

"Let's not delay, let's go."

Yun Li had originally planned to visit the Fenyang Valley to pay her respects, but now that the other party had come to her on their own, there was no need for that trouble.

Moreover, she had shown her sincerity, and if they changed their minds after the treatment was over, Yun Li would not be so lenient.

She didn't even take the Supreme Elder of Fenyang Valley seriously.

However, in her impression, apart from some elders of Fenyang Valley who were somewhat disliked, the others were probably alright.

But reality isn't a novel, so who can say for sure?

63

In Chapter 63, Yun Li pierced Tang Huo'er's body with her sword.

"The location of my Fenyang Valley is just ahead."

Tang Zhen took the initiative to lead Yun Li and the other two to Fenyang Valley. Compared to his previous hasty departure with people and his inner worry, he was now calm.

This unknown Dou Sheng expert has no ill intentions towards Fenyang Valley, which is already the best possible outcome.

Although she was thinking about the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire of Fenyang Valley, her condition was that her daughter could be saved.

If his daughter could truly recover completely, what was the harm in risking his life to lend her the strange fire?

Subduing the Nine Dragon Radiance Gang Fire is no easy task. Even when he helped Huo'er fuse with the strange flame back then, such a big accident still occurred, let alone an outsider.

However, considering the other party's strength and actions, even if it cannot be borrowed in the end, substantial compensation must be provided in other ways.

"Is this space... a grotto-heaven?"

Yun Li looked ahead and saw two extremely majestic crimson mountains standing close together, with a winding stone staircase leading up from their base...

Then her gaze stopped not far in front of the stone steps, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. There was an amazing spatial fluctuation emanating from that space, and there was definitely a hidden world behind it.

"Senior Yun Li, please come with us."

As he spoke, Tang Zhen Zhenxuan led his men up the stone steps, with Yun Li and the other two following closely behind.

A moment later, everyone stopped at the end of the stone steps, where there was a spatial barrier.

Yun Li gently pressed her hand on the spatial barrier, and an astonishing rebound force surged out, but Yun Li easily neutralized it.

"This spatial barrier was personally reinforced by the successive Valley Masters of Fenyang Valley, and it is strong enough to withstand the attack of a Dou Zun."

However, he was only at the Dou Zun level, which was far from enough to deal with Dou Sheng level experts.

However, under normal circumstances, there aren't that many Dou Sheng level experts outside.

To encounter a saint as young as Yun Li today is probably the first time in the entire history of the Central Continent.

After a brief introduction, Tang Zhen casually opened Space channel and invited Yun Li and the other two to enter.

Upon entering the space, Yun Li and the others were greeted by an extremely long blue stone staircase.

Surrounding the stone steps was a lush green grove, and looking into the distance, one could see many buildings peeking through the trees. Faintly, the sounds of voices drifted from afar, eventually swirling within the seemingly endless valley.

This place is like a small world of its own...

However, there is still a considerable gap between it and the small world created by a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

Upon arriving at Fenyang Valley, Tang Zhen immediately arranged for people to lift the previous arrangements, and then personally led Yun Li to a mansion.

"Go and call Miss Huo'er over."

After instructing his servants to prepare things for the guests, Tang Zhen then called over a female disciple and asked her to fetch Tang Huo'er.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the female disciple glanced curiously at Yun Li and the other two beside her, not understanding why the Valley Master would show such respect to a little girl.

The Valley Master is a Venerable One, the most esteemed being in the entire Central Continent. It's hard to believe that anyone could make such a being bow down.

However, she didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly turned around to find Miss Tang Huo'er.

During this time, Tang Zhen poured tea for Yun Li while cautiously inquiring about her background. Logically speaking, a Dou Sheng powerhouse like Yun Li shouldn't be unknown.

After all, every Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) has to go through countless trials and tribulations to reach that level. It can be said that every Dou Zun (Battle Venerable) and Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) was a prominent figure in their youth.

Becoming a martial arts master by working in isolation is practically impossible.

However, the information he obtained from Yun Li was completely unfamiliar; he had never heard of the Xianzhou Alliance or Zhuming before.
