After learning that Heavenly Flames existed, Gu Yuena grew curious. She questioned the Snake-People Tribe closely, wanting to understand what they were and how powerful they could be.
From her questioning, Gu Yuena learned the Green Lotus Core Flame's approximate whereabouts. She immediately ordered the snake-people to keep searching until they found its exact location.
The Snake-People Tribe could not resist and had no choice but to obey.
Medusa was the least willing to accept it. She had searched for a Heavenly Flame for so long and poured so much effort into it. Now that she had finally found a lead, someone else was about to reap the reward.

Xiao Yan could not help complaining, "Teacher, is the Green Lotus Core Flame really down there?"
"Of course. It's definitely down there." Yao Chen's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind, full of certainty.
