"This must be the blazing cave that Xiao Yu had mentioned."
Gu Ruoyun paused outside a mountain cave. She could feel the scorching temperature from the cave and her gaze slowly became serious. She gently exhaled and murmured, "The Dragon Phoenix Fruit should be inside but I also sense a powerful aura at the end of the cave..."
Nevertheless, for the sake of restoring Yu'er's arm, she did not care too much about it.
She took a step forward at the thought of this and entered the cave.
As she set foot into the cave, a wave of heat rose from the cave floor. Gu Ruoyun did not hesitate and quickly walked deeper into the cave.
"The Blood Moon Blossom is a medicinal herb which accompanies the Dragon Phoenix Fruit. Wherever there's a Dragon Phoenix Fruit, there will be Blood Moon Blossom as well. However, the land which contains Blood Moon Blossom might not have any Dragon Phoenix Fruit. Still, even if there is only a small sliver of hope, I must try."
Not long after entering the cave, Gu Ruoyun stumbled upon the little Blood Moon Blossoms. However, she could not see any Dragon Phoenix Fruit in the area surrounding the blood-colored flowers.
Gu Ruoyun guessed that Qin Hao must have picked the Blood Moon Blossoms from the ones which were growing here. After all, based on his body, he would not be able to venture any deeper into the blazing cave.
"Master, something doesn't feel right in this place."
Yunyao's voice rang out from within her soul.
"I know."
Gu Ruoyun fell momentarily silent before she replied, "For Yu'er's sake, I have to try."
"Alright."
Yunyao sighed gently as she reminded, "Master, Lord Zixie is still undergoing his breakthrough and we're powerless to help you too. You must be very careful and be wary of your safety."
"I understand."
Gu Ruoyun gently lifted her head. Her eyes were filled with determination.
She has always greatly valued her life. If she were to ever lose her life, the people around her would be in grave danger. So, no matter what, she had to protect herself.
The scorching temperature grew even hotter as she journeyed deeper into the cave. It was a good thing that Gu Ruoyun was already a Martial Supreme. Coupled with the specialties in her body, this was not much of a problem for her to endure.
Suddenly, she paused and fixed her gaze straight ahead as a rush of joy slowly filled her clear and cold eyes.
Right in front of her, a bright red fruit shaped like a dragon's head resting on fiery-red leaves entered her line of sight. The red fruit was surrounded by clusters of little blood-colored flowers.
"The Dragon Phoenix Fruit! It's shaped like the head of a dragon and has the color of blood. It seems that its name does indeed translate to reality. However..."
Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows. As she stepped closer to the Dragon Phoenix Fruit, the dangerous aura became closer as well, heightening her senses. She did not dare to relax at all.
"Master, watch out!"
An anxious cry rang out from within her soul.
Suddenly, a fiery light came spiraling out from within the blazing cave, followed by a scorching temperature that could burn one's soul alive! A powerful red flame burst throughout the entire cave, casting a brilliant red light.
"Hahaha, this Holy One has been waiting in this cave for many years now. I've finally found a satisfying body! Little girl, loan your flesh to me! Then I can leave this wretched place!"
As the wild laughter died down, the creature which had resided in the deep recesses of the cave finally showed his face.
It was a gigantic flaming dragon!
His entire body was made of flames, making it look dominant and unrivaled. That large body hovered within the blazing cave, giving off a powerful sense of oppression.
However...
