Trouble Arose Again

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Fang Mu bowed slightly to the Rocket Turtle, then walked straight towards the divine beast egg.

The mythical beast egg was over five feet tall, just the right size for an adult to hug. He walked over and touched the egg, feeling the warmth emanating from beneath the shell. He then picked it up and carried it to Princess Qinghe's side.

"Senior sister, I'm entrusting this divine beast egg to you."

Upon hearing this, Princess Qinghe's immediate reaction was to refuse.

"No, I absolutely cannot accept such a heavy gift."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Rocket Turtle secretly gave Fang Mu a disdainful gesture, thinking, "How come this kid has such a blockhead?"

Every single one of those people in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute is surrounded by beautiful women, yet this kid can't even offer a gift.

Fang Mu did not show any regret when Princess Qinghe rejected him. Instead, he smiled and said, "Senior Sister, do we need to be so polite between us?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Qinghe blushed slightly, but fortunately, the cave was dark and no one noticed the unusual expression on her face.

"Can..."

Fang Mu placed the divine beast egg directly in front of Princess Qinghe and asked earnestly, "Senior Sister, do you perhaps look down on Junior Brother's gift?"

"No."

Princess Qinghe already had a good impression of Fang Mu, but she didn't expect Junior Brother Fang to be so direct, catching her completely off guard.

"Then I'll thank you, Junior Brother Fang."

After saying that, she accepted the divine beast egg in front of her; her previous restraint was merely an instinctive one.

"Senior brother, I would like to ask for your help in subduing that Abnormal Fire."

Fang Mu turned to the Rocket Turtle beside him and said.

"It's nothing serious. From my observations over the past few days, that Abnormal Fire hasn't developed any intelligence yet. It's clearly only recently formed and can only instinctively devour fire Spiritual Qi."

Rocket Turtle paused deliberately. "However, I have a question. Do you intend to let your top-grade spiritual fire devour this Abnormal Fire, or do you want to exchange it for another Abnormal Fire?"

Fang Mu's face showed a thoughtful expression. He had lived with Little Spirit Fire for so many years, and his relationship with Little Spirit Fire was like that of a friend. Naturally, he did not want to abandon Little Spirit Fire easily.

He quickly made a decision. "Senior brother, I want the Little Spirit Fire to devour this Abnormal Fire."

Upon hearing this, Rocket Turtle's lips curled into a satisfied smile, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You truly are a person of great loyalty and righteousness. However, this will weaken the initial grade of the Abnormal Fire, requiring you to expend a Abnormal Fire of resources to nurture it."

Fang Mu shrugged. "Senior brother, don't forget, the one thing our Dao-Seeking Academy has in abundance is resources."

You're right.

Rocket Turtle continued, "Then let's begin."

As he spoke, he flew towards the Abnormal Fire. The Volcanic Stone Flame in mid-air sensed the approach of the Rocket Turtle and instinctively tried to escape.

However, Rocket Turtle was superior in both rank and grade, so naturally it wouldn't let the little guy escape from under its nose; otherwise, it would lose face big time.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Volcanic Stone Flame was pinned down by Rocket Turtle, and no matter how much Volcanic Stone Flame struggled, it couldn't move an inch.

"Kid, bring Little Spirit Fire out and give it some new clothes."

"Promise."

Fang Mu then took out a fire storage bag from his storage ring, and a little Little Spirit Fire flew out of the fire storage bag in a short while.

After these days of digestion, the Little Spirit Fire has successfully advanced and become a top-grade spirit fire.

Even so, when faced with the Upper Volcanic Stone Flame, Little Spirit Fire instinctively took a step back.

Seeing this, Rocket Turtle couldn't help but say, "Are you serious about taking a half step back? What are you afraid of with your ancestor here?"

Little Spirit Fire had a deep respect for Rocket Turtle, and instantly froze in place, staring at Rocket Turtle without moving.

The next second, Rocket Turtle opened its mouth and bit down on Volcanic Stone Flame.

Crackling and popping!

Flames erupted from the Volcanic Stone Flame, then it began to leap wildly, trying to escape from the terrifying creature's feet.

However, Rocket Turtle wasn't about to give him that chance. It took another bite, and after two bites, Volcanic Stone Flame shrank by almost half.

belch...

Rocket Turtle let out a small burp and said to Fang Mu, "Kid, let Little Spirit Fire handle the rest. Remember to let it devour you little by little."

"Go, Little Fire Spirit, your chance to change your destiny has arrived."

Fang Mu turned to his Little Fire Spirit and said.

The Little Fire Spirit clearly sensed its master's intentions. It gradually overcame its instinctive fear and approached the Volcanic Stone Flame.

The moment it touched the Volcanic Stone Flame, it felt the flames within its body being rapidly absorbed by the other party.

Fortunately, at that moment, Rocket Turtle stomped on it, crushing part of the Volcanic Stone Flame.

Upon seeing this, the Little Fire Spirit quickly caught the scattered fragments of flame in the air.

Just as the Little Fire Spirit was gradually devouring the fragments on the Volcanic Stone Flame, and the entire fire was slowly transforming into the shape of the Volcanic Stone Flame.

A terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the entire area within a hundred miles of the Li Fire Sect.

A fiery red, demonic cloud dyed the entire sky red.

The various forces, large and small, stationed around the Li Fire Sect sensed this terrifying aura and instinctively moved closer to the encampments of the Cloud Mist Sect and the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Faced with such a terrifying monster, aimless escape will only lead to death far from home. Finding a powerful figure to cling to might offer a glimmer of hope.

Within the strongholds of the two major forces, Elder Fang looked up at the sky with a furrowed brow, muttering to himself, "Such a dense Yao Qi. How could a demon general at the Dao Integration Realm Li Fire Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of the Li Fire Sect quickly shook his head and said, "Senior, this junior truly did not know that there were such demon generals around our sect, otherwise we would have moved the sect away long ago."

"Um."

Elder Fang simply responded with a faint reply, but couldn't help feeling worried about the two people inside the volcanic cave.

Li Fire Sect Cave, the Rocket Turtle immediately sensed the terrifying Yao Qi. It glanced instinctively at the Volcanic Stone Flame beneath its feet and said, "Trouble's brewing. This guy's barely hanging on. I'll go deal with that guy outside first."

Fang Mu nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Be careful, Senior Brother."

Don't worry, it's nothing scary.

After Rocket Turtle finished speaking, it flew towards the cave entrance. Before it could even fly out, a loud voice came from above the Li Fire Sect.

"Which damned bastard ruined my plans?!"

As the sound came, a huge snake head emerged from the demonic cloud.

It was a snake's head surrounded by red and black stripes, and its eyes radiated a chilling aura.

Wherever his gaze fell, all the cultivators felt a chill run down their spines.

"The Scarlet Flame Python is a terrifying being from the Rosy Cloud Mountain Range. How could it be involved with a small force like the Li Fire Sect!"

"Oh no, are we going to get caught in the crossfire?"

"..."

Just as everyone was discussing this, a voice with a hint of disdain came from inside the volcano.

"Where did this little snake come from, daring to act so arrogantly in front of your Grandpa Turtle!"

As the sound rang out, a towering flame engulfed the entire Li Fire Sect in fiery red.

All the creatures present could feel that the firelight contained a pressure no less powerful than that of the Scarlet Flame Python.

"Are there even more experts inside the volcano?"

"Why haven't we seen that expert?"

"..."

The group of cultivators who originally wanted to escape stopped in their tracks upon sensing this powerful aura, eager to witness the prowess of the experts from the Dao-Seeking Academy.

The cultivators from the Spirit Pill Sect and the Cloud Mist Sect turned their attention to Yun Ye.

No one spoke, but the questioning look in their eyes told Yun Ye what they wanted to ask.

Yun Ye shook his head. "I don't know who the person next to Senior Brother Fang is either. After all, Senior Brother Fang doesn't have a protector. Perhaps it was arranged for him by Chief Chu."

Upon hearing the name Chief Chu, the group immediately abandoned their inquiries and turned their attention back to the Li Fire Sect.

A Abnormal Fire shaped like a tortoise appeared above the Li Fire Sect.

"This... this is a solidified Abnormal Fire!"

Elder Yun of the Spirit Pill Sect said with a look of astonishment.

Elder Fang said, "It's not just a simple matter of solidifying its form; I observe that it's only half a step away from truly taking human form. I'm afraid only a top expert like Chief Chu could cultivate such a Abnormal Fire."

"Really."

Elder Yun nodded slightly, his admiration for Chief Chu growing even stronger.

Above the Li Fire Sect, the Scarlet Flame Python stared dumbfounded at the Abnormal Fire before it. It had considered that the one who ruined its plans might be Human Race, Demon Race, or even Devil Master cultivator, but it never expected that it would be a Abnormal Fire Abnormal Fire, and one that was no less powerful than its own.

"Snort!"

The Scarlet Flame Python sneered, "No matter what you are, I will suppress you today to vent my hatred!"
