Blaze!
The moment Wen Qingxuan jumped into the furnace, the blazing fire burned even more fiercely. The flame was light green in color, giving off a gentle touch. However, everyone there knew that the soft look of it was deceiving. The flame used by the Heavenly Sovereign for refining pills could instantly reduce a Complete Earthly Sovereign to ashes.
Wen Ziyu and the rest of the powerhouses watched the furnace anxiously. Cold sweat drenched their backs. If Wen Qingxuan failed, it would be an outcome difficult to swallow. If she failed, she would be reduced to ashes.
Dong Shan and the rest of the people focused on the furnace. The moment she succeeded in getting the inheritance, they would go all out to snatch it.
All of a sudden, the fierce battles in the karst cave eased up, except for Mu Chen’s. The two Wu warriors had no consciences. Hence, they only knew how to kill and could not be bothered about the inheritance. All they wanted to do was shred Mu Chen into pieces. However, regardless of how they launched their assaults, Mu Chen could still suppress them, especially the one trapped in the Blazing Fire Array. That Wu warrior had even lost one of his arms.
Apparently, the entire situation was under Mu Chen’s control. It was only a matter of time before the two Wu warriors would be utterly defeated.
Boom!
Just when Mu Chen had the two Wu warriors under control, an uproar suddenly broke out within the deepest area of the karst cave. The blazing fire in the furnace let out a soft groan.
Boohoo!
In the next moment, the light green flame swept out from the furnace. A beam of fire gathered above the furnace almost immediately. A figure slowly surfaced from the fire. When Wen Ziyu and the rest saw the familiar figure, they could not hide the thrill on their faces, as that figure belonged to Wen Qingxuan.
Her eyes were half-closed. Green sparks covered her curvaceous and petite body. The sparks seemed to have some spiritual sense. As they ignited themselves on her body, they transformed into patches of green grass protecting her like light armor. Her long eyelashes quivered slightly, and her eyes opened. Green flames danced within her eyes, giving her an extra bewitching factor in her appearance.
She was a little confused as she looked at the flames on her body. But soon after, a surprised and delighted look surged in her eyes as she felt that a complete inheritance had surfaced in her mind.
Even the peculiar green flames existed in her body now. Apparently, when she made the decision to jump into the furnace, she was not burned into ashes. Instead, she obtained the inheritance left behind by the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy.
Most of the heritance consisted of the notes and secrets of refining elixirs. It might not be useful to others, but to Wen Qingxuan, who was also studying alchemy, this was a precious treasure.
It was just like how Mu Chen’s mother had left him all her thoughts and notes about spiritual arrays, and Mu Chen then became an Advance Spiritual Array Ancestral Master. It would be extremely useful in the future when he wanted to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign level.
With the help of this inheritance, Wen Qingxuan would definitely be one of the well-known Alchemy Ancestral Masters in the Great Thousand World. This was the best news for the Wen family. After all, alchemist had always been one of the most popular occupations in the Great Thousand World.
“The information was indeed accurate.” Wen Qingxuan was incredibly delighted. However, she knew that obtaining this inheritance required a significant amount of courage and decisiveness. After all, not everyone had the courage to jump into the furnace. Any mistakes made would turn anyone into ashes. Between life and the inheritance, most of the people would choose the former. After all, no amount of inheritance was worth the price of a life.
“D*mn it!” When Wen Qingxuan got the inheritance, Dong Shan and the rest of the people’s expressions darkened. If Wen Qingxuan had obtained the Spiritual Butterfly Relic Inheritance, then they had worked for nothing.
“Hehe, did she succeed?” When Wu Tong saw this from the Black Liquid Dungeon, radiance flickered in his eyes. He then let out a burst of ghastly laughter. He raised two of his fingers, and a black amulet appeared in his hand. Profound runes seemed to be engraved on the amulet. A bizarre fluctuation was quietly exuded. He lifted his head and looked at Ling Xi. With a smile, the black amulet burned in his hand.
Ling Xi had been watching Wu Tong’s movements. When the black amulet appeared in his hand, she knew something was amiss; hence, she circulated the spiritual array without any hesitation.
Voila!
The endless black liquid started falling on him with daunting energy. Many large black dragons rushed and roared at Wu Tong. No matter what that fellow wanted to do, Ling Xi had to stop it.
“You’ve got quick reactions, but too bad, whatever you do now is futile.” Wu Tong smiled at Ling Xi’s efforts at interception. The burning black amulet in his hand had already transformed into thick, dense smoke that shielded him while helping him to escape. The black smoke loomed, and Wu Tong suddenly disappeared from his original location.
Mu Chen, who was still fighting with the two Wu warriors, yelled suddenly, “Qingxuan, be careful!”
Shua!
A ghostly black smoke appeared before Wen Qingxuan. It grabbed her wrist and pulled her up into the air. It then threw her forcefully onto the furnace.
Dang!
Wen Qingxuan crashed onto the furnace, and a crisp, clear sound was heard. But because Wen Qingxuan had just gotten the inheritance, the flame on the furnace did not burn her into ashes.
Sstz.
Even so, the impact caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood. The Spiritual Butterfly Furnace was knocked over and flew out immediately, too.
However, after Wen Qingxuan was thrown off onto the ground, Wu Tong, surprisingly, did not make any killing move. Instead, he stopped moving and stared with a fire burning in his eyes at the spot where the furnace had previously sat.
The furnace had initially been placed on a stone platform. When Wen Qingxuan knocked over the furnace, a spiritual array was revealed on the ground where the furnace had been set. Wu Tong stared at that spiritual array with passionate eyes. He tossed the amulet on that spiritual array.
Weng!
The spiritual array suddenly gave off bright spiritual lights. Within the lights, space was twisted as if it was leading to another place. The sudden change was beyond everyone’s expectations. No one had expected that a bizarre setup was hidden under the furnace.
“Wen Qingxuan, do you think that the Wu family was really eyeing the Spiritual Butterfly Relic?” Wu Tong turned around and grinned at Wen Qingxuan.
“The information that the Wen family got was only about the Spiritual Butterfly Relic. But none of you knew that the Mystery Dragon War Emperor, the husband of Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy, left his inheritance hidden within the Spiritual Butterfly Relic!”
“Mystery Dragon War Emperor?!” Wen Qingxuan was shocked. She was unaware of this information, but she knew about the Mystery Dragon War Emperor. As the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy’s husband, he was also one of the renowned Heavenly Sovereigns in the ancient times. The most formidable thing about the Mystery Dragon War Emperor was not his Heavenly Sovereign strength. It was his other identity, War Troop Dispatcher!
He created a formidable troop named, “The Mystery Dragon Army.” Each soldier in the army was infused with Dragon Blood, and they were known as the Dragon Warriors. The Mystery Dragon Army in its prime even made the Mystery Dragon War Emperor into one of the cream of the crop among the God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns.
But after the Mystery Dragon War Emperor and the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy perished in the Ancient Holy Gulf in that grand war, there was no news about the army. It was as though the famous Mystery Dragon Army had suddenly disappeared into thin air.
“The Wu’s are eyeing that Mystery Dragon War Emperor?!” Wen Qingxuan suddenly understood everything. The Wu family must have gotten this information from some unknown sources, and they put everything on the line just to be there.
Wu Tong shrugged and laughed. “According to our information, the Mystery Dragon Army suffered some damage, but most of the soldiers were infused with Dragon Blood. During the critical moment, the Mystery Dragon War Emperor converted most of the Mystery Dragon soldiers into Undying Dragon Warriors. He put them into a sleep, so this troop was quite well-preserved. If this troop is owned by the Wu family, I believe we will be able to control them in no time. Then it will be a piece of cake to exterminate the Wen family.
“However, the Space of the Mystery Dragon left by the Mystery Dragon War Emperor was under the protection of the Spiritual Butterfly Furnace. The flame in the furnace could reduce even a Complete Earthly Sovereign to ashes with just a single touch. Only the one who receives the Spiritual Butterfly Inheritance is immune to this flame…”
When Wu Tong finally finished his words, he looked at Wen Qingxuan with a smile. “So, if it had not been for you being brave, I would still be troubled about how to get the inheritance. After all, gambling with my life does not quite befit my status…”
Wen Qingxun’s pretty face instantly paled. Wu Tong had been waiting for her to obtain the inheritance successfully so that she could become the key to opening the Space of the Mystery Dragon. If the formidable Mystery Dragon Army fell into the Wu family’s hands, it would be a lethal blow to the Wen’s.
They had to stop Wu Tong!
As if he knew Wen Qingxuan’s thoughts, Wu Tong shook his head and laughed. “Trying to stop me? I talked so much crap with you just because I did not want you guys to stop the space from stabilizing itself…” He looked at the space that was slowly taking shape. Then, he tilted his head and smiled at Mu Chen, Wen Qingxuan, Luo Li, and the rest. Cold killing intent surged in his smile.
“You guys can wait for me to come after you with the Mystery Dragon Army. I hope by that time, you will have the courage to stand before me… By the way, a gentle reminder that only a War Troop Dispatcher can enter the Space of the Mystery Dragon. So, you can stop trying so hard for it… And just so you know, I have another identity which is just nice – War Troop Dispatcher.”
Wu Tong looked at them with pity. Without any hesitation, he took a deep breath and was about to enter the space in front of him. However, at that moment, slightly shocking laughter suddenly echoed within the karst cave.
“War Troop Dispatcher? What a coincidence! I’m one, too!”
All of them looked up. Mu Chen, who was blocked by the Wu warriors, charged out and headed straight towards that space. At the same time, a unique fluctuation was exuded from his body – the fighting spirit that only a War Troop Dispatcher possessed!
