”Right, perhaps I can also use this information to see if we can recover part of Yao Chen’s assets from Lin Feng’s hands.”

Thinking of the property taken from his old friend, Xuan Kongzi pondered to himself.

Although he knew the chances were slim, it wouldn’t hurt to have Xiao Yan give it a try. After all, if they could retrieve even a small portion of it, they would at least have something to show when they met Yao Chen again later.

Otherwise, if Xiao Yan successfully rescued Yao Chen only to find that under the care of the three of them, his disciple had lost everything except his own life... that would be far too embarrassing.

However, just as Xuan Kongzi was considering how best to take advantage of this piece of information, he suddenly realized that the life force within Xiao Yan’s body was growing increasingly faint. If he left it like this, Xiao Yan would probably die in no time.

Seeing this, Xuan Kongzi quickly rubbed his spatial ring and pulled out an eighth-tier pill, pushing it into Xiao Yan’s mouth. Although this pill couldn’t completely eliminate the deadly poison inside Xiao Yan’s body, it could at least temporarily suppress it and keep him alive for now.

To completely remove the poison, however, Xuan Kongzi would later need to take action personally, using his own powerful Dou Qi to force the toxins out.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yixian had already noticed that the look in Xuan Kongzi’s eyes toward her seemed... off. When she saw him feeding a pill to Xiao Yan to suppress the poisonous Dou Qi she had infused into him earlier, her beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of realization.

Her delicate face quickly turned solemn. If she wasn’t mistaken, Xuan Kongzi must have discovered her secret — the fact that she possessed the Woeful Poison Body. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown such an expression.

”Looks like when he wakes up, we’ll have to come up with a way to deal with this situation...”

Thinking about the Central Plains’ notorious fear and rejection toward the Woeful Poison Body, Xiao Yixian sighed helplessly in her heart.

”Boom!”

Just as she was fretting over her identity being exposed, a deafening explosion suddenly echoed throughout the Star Region.

”Hm?!”

Hearing that tremendous blast, everyone at the scene instantly turned their heads toward the source of the sound. They soon discovered that the explosion had come from the area where Lin Feng was located.

”Rumble—!”

The next moment, under everyone’s stunned gazes, the colossal body of the Three Thousand Burning Flame — stretching several thousand meters — suddenly exploded without warning!

The massive amount of purple-black flames that made up its body transformed into a boundless sea of fire, sweeping outward in all directions.

Seeing this, the two elders immediately shielded Cao Ying and Dan Chen behind them and waved their palms, summoning a Dou Qi barrier to block the oncoming flames.

Xuan Kongzi also created a Dou Qi shield, protecting himself and Xiao Yan within it. However, rather than showing frustration at the violent blaze, his face actually lit up with joy. After all, Lin Feng hadn’t emerged from within that sea of fire — which meant he likely wasn’t faring well.

If the Three Thousand Burning Flame could actually kill Lin Feng, that would be perfect for him!

As for Xiao Yixian, who was the closest to Lin Feng, she was forced to retreat, quickly darting to the side to avoid the sweeping purple-black inferno. But among everyone present, the one who ended up in the most miserable state was none other than Old Qing Hua.

After all, his strength was only at the Two-Star Dou Zun level, and not long ago he had almost been killed by Mu Gu. Now, he had barely caught his breath when the Three Thousand Burning Flame suddenly exploded.

That terrifying blast forced the already exhausted Qing Hua to run for his life with everything he had, fleeing as far as he could from Lin Feng’s direction.

Given that his strength couldn’t even be fully unleashed to thirty percent right now, before the violent, purple-black sea of flames, all he could do was run.

Fortunately, Qiu Ling noticed his desperate state in time and quickly grabbed him, dragging him away from the inferno.

”Old Ancestor! Brother Lin Feng is still inside that sea of fire! He must be in great danger—please, hurry and save him!”

Seeing that Lin Feng hadn’t escaped the inferno before the Three Thousand Burning Flame exploded, Dan Chen’s little face turned pale as snow. She anxiously tugged at the sleeve of the elder beside her, pleading.

Hearing this, the old man looked at the raging, out-of-control sea of fire, his mouth twitching slightly.

So, Lin Feng’s life is a life, but this old man’s life doesn’t count, huh?

After all, even for them, the fully erupted Three Thousand Burning Flame was not something to underestimate.

Beside her, Cao Ying also wore a worried expression. Seeing Lin Feng’s figure engulfed in the purple-black blaze, her enchanting face showed clear anxiety, and she immediately turned her pleading gaze toward the other elder nearby.

”Sigh...”

Seeing the expressions on the two young women’s faces, the two old men could only let out helpless sighs.

Then, they both turned toward Xuan Kongzi, who was clearly just standing there watching, and said, ”Leader Xuan Kongzi, let’s go into the fire sea together and check the situation. After all, one of our Pill Tower’s geniuses is still trapped inside—we can’t just ignore it.”

Of course, neither of them intended to take on such a dangerous task alone. Since the Leader of the Pill Tower was conveniently standing beside them, it was only natural to drag him along. Good fortune should be shared, and hardship should be borne together.

”Alright then, let’s go take a look,” Xuan Kongzi replied, his expression flickering briefly before he forced a smile and nodded in agreement.

Although he truly wished Lin Feng would die inside that fire, with these two inviting him to join them, he knew he couldn’t refuse.

Even if he didn’t want to go, he had no choice but to suppress his true thoughts, put on a cooperative face, and agree to go into the inferno with them to ”rescue” Lin Feng. After all, if he stood by and watched Lin Feng die, and word of that spread, he’d be the one in trouble.

”Whoosh!”

However, before the three of them could even take action, the raging purple-black sea of fire suddenly stopped spreading. The next instant, under everyone’s stunned gazes, it began to rapidly contract, retreating back to its original location.

As the purple-black flames withdrew, the figure that had been engulfed by the Three Thousand Burning Flame — Lin Feng — once again appeared before everyone’s eyes.

”He... he succeeded in controlling the Three Thousand Burning Flame!”

Seeing Lin Feng emerge completely unharmed, the two elders and Xuan Kongzi all showed expressions of sheer disbelief. Their hearts trembled violently.

Given Lin Feng’s level of strength, even with the Green Lotus Core Flame, it should have been impossible for him to survive such a violent eruption unscathed. But now, this impossible scene was unfolding right before their eyes.

There was only one explanation for it — Lin Feng had successfully gained control over the Three Thousand Burning Flame. That was why the earlier wave of purple-black fire hadn’t harmed him in the slightest!
