Terrifying Existence

"Yes, Senior!"

Seeing that the senior before her actually responded, Mu Qianning was extremely excited. She said, "Senior, we are from the Lihuo Sect. Please lend us a hand! Our Lihuo Sect will never forget your great kindness..."

Li Fan felt a headache coming on. What were these people doing?

Weren't they all fine just now?

Their physical fitness was really poor. They couldn't even walk after just getting off the horse, especially the men. They were worse than a young girl...

However, they said they were from the Lihuo Sect?

Li Fan seemed to have heard that name before.

He couldn't help but walk over. The surrounding dust was quite heavy. He gently fanned the area in front of his face with his hand and said, "Are you from the Lihuo Sect?"

Meanwhile, Mu Qianning and the others' expressions changed drastically, and a look of shock and awe flashed in their eyes!

"He... he just casually fanned his hand, and the chaotic Great Dao energy all dissipated?!"

Ren Hong could barely speak clearly.

It was too, too terrifying!

Mu Qianning was also completely stunned. The moment the senior in front of her casually waved his hand, she clearly saw the Great Dao flowing, invulnerable to all laws!

What kind of supreme being could this be?!

Moreover, the pressure they felt on their bodies vanished in an instant.

"Are you from the Lihuo Sect?"

Seeing that they didn't answer, Li Fan asked again.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, this junior is Mu Qianning from the Lihuo Sect, greetings, Senior!"

She performed a grand kowtow!

Ren Hong even prostrated himself on the ground!

Li Fan was surprised. Was this person the Saintess of the Lihuo Sect?

She was indeed quite attractive...

But why were they calling him Senior and performing such a grand kowtow? Were they crazy?

Li Fan said, "I'm not some Senior, just an ordinary person. What are you doing here?"

Or-ordinary person?

Mu Qianning didn't believe him at all and remained as respectful as ever. She said, "Reporting to Senior, we came... to find something."

Although she was shocked by the terrifying strength of the senior before her, she dared not speak carelessly about the item that concerned the sect's survival.

"Looking for something? This place is too big. With your stamina, you probably won't be able to walk very far," Li Fan shook his head.

These people, they lacked exercise in normal times and couldn't even walk a few steps...

Mu Qianning's heart trembled. Judging from the senior's words, he was very familiar with this place...

They themselves couldn't even pass the first layer of restrictions, so they couldn't find that item at all...

But, if they could get this senior's help...

However, would such an important figure help them?

Thinking of the Lihuo Sect's survival, she gritted her teeth and knelt, saying, "Senior, this junior dares to ask for your help! As long as Senior makes a move, this junior is willing to pay any price!"

Seeing how sincere she was, Li Fan found it hard to refuse. Since he was familiar with this place, it wouldn't hurt to bring them along.

"That's not much of a problem, but your stamina..."

With so many people, what if they all collapsed from exhaustion later?

Mu Qianning hurriedly said, "Senior, you only need to bring this junior alone. The others do not need to enter!"

Li Fan thought for a moment. "Alright."

Mu Qianning was overjoyed and extremely grateful!

"The road ahead is quite complicated, don't fall behind."

Li Fan continued to move forward.

Mu Qianning hurriedly followed behind Li Fan. After a short while, a look of fear flashed across her face because ahead was an invisible sea of fire!

Ordinary people might not see it, but she could feel the terrifying power that could extinguish everything.

The destructive energy on the periphery was merely the residual energy from this sea of fire.

Moreover, the invisible sea of fire contained the terrifying Samadhi True Fire.

A single wisp could burn a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to death!

No wonder it was called a death trap... Mu Qianning's heart turned cold!

"Keep up."

Li Fan turned around.

He had only taken a few steps!

"Alright, senior!"

Mu Qianning gritted her teeth. She had no choice but to follow this senior now.

The next moment, she saw the senior step into the invisible sea of fire!

In that instant, within the invisible sea of fire that destroyed everything, a vacuum appeared!

The flames retreated three hundred feet!

Mu Qianning gasped, what kind of technique was this?

It was too terrifying!

She quickly followed!

Before long, they had crossed the invisible sea of fire.

Li Fan arrived at the place where he chopped wood and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Mu Qianning was now utterly impressed with this senior. "The Divine Water Pearl!"

"A dark green pearl. It's a supreme treasure of my sect. The Progenitor brought it here many years ago, but he perished here, and the pearl was lost..."

Li Fan suddenly remembered. Every time he came to chop wood, he seemed to encounter such a pearl.

He just never had any interest in jewels and would throw them away if he picked them up.

"I think I've seen it... You can follow me. I remember it's in the woods."

Mu Qianning was overjoyed upon hearing this.

However, when she followed Li Fan to the "woods," she was stunned!

It was a forest of fiery red.

Each tree was tall and thick!

Every leaf exuded an extremely dense fire attribute aura, enough to help one attain enlightenment with just a single leaf!

"Mystic Fire Wood. It's indestructible. Even cultivators in the Spirit Transmutation stage cannot harm it in the slightest. It's known as the tree that never dies for ten thousand years, growing in intense flames..."

She murmured, her heart trembling even more. The tree this senior was going to chop was Mystic Fire Wood?

At this moment, Li Fan had already raised his axe and was chopping the tree!

"Crack—"

A massive tree crashed to the ground.

Mu Qianning was shocked. With every swing of Li Fan's axe, she felt as if the Great Dao itself was collapsing!

What kind of axe was that?

It was too terrifying.

"What kind of terrifying existence have I encountered?"

Before long, Li Fan finished chopping wood. He was a little tired and took a drink from his water flask.

"You must be thirsty, right?"

He said, handing her the flask.

Mu Qianning subconsciously took it. Although this senior was protecting her, her cultivation was too low, and she still felt a slight heat.

The sweet well water entered her stomach, and she felt a wave of comfort.

But the next moment, she suddenly froze.

Her aura suddenly surged!

She directly leaped from Golden Core second heaven to Golden Core third heaven!

And it didn't stop there!

Golden Core fourth heaven!

Fifth heaven!

...It broke through all the way to the ninth heaven!

Golden Core perfection!

She looked at the water flask in her hand, utterly incredulous. What kind of divine elixir was in there...

She wished she could take a few more big gulps!

However, she took a deep breath.

No, she couldn't appear greedy in front of senior. She had to maintain her image!

"Thank you, senior!"

She respectfully returned the water flask.

"Hmm… I can feel the aura of the Divine Water Pearl!"

Just then, her expression suddenly changed. After a significant advancement in her cultivation, her spiritual sense had become much sharper.

She saw a streak of green light, seemingly appearing from nowhere, rapidly approaching. It then transformed into a pearl and rolled to Li Fan's feet!

"A treasure seeking refuge…"

She was shocked. She had long known that the Divine Water Pearl was a supreme treasure of the sect, possessing a spirit!

It had actually come to find Li Fan on its own?

"Hmm, found it."

Li Fan casually picked up the pearl, thinking his luck was pretty good. He handed it to Mu Qianning and said, "Here, the pearl you wanted."

"Th-this is for me?!"

Mu Qianning stammered for a moment!
