"Feng Yu, why hasn't Brother Ye Xiao come out yet? Did something happen to him?" Ru Lan asked worriedly. If Ye Xiao died here because of them, she would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"I don't think so. Although Brother Ye Xiao only has the cultivation at the Seventh Stage of the Origin Core Realm, his strength has far surpassed someone with the same cultivation. And even he himself said before that he can always escape if he wants to. So I think he will soon come back. "
Feng Yu shook his head and said, but he didn't have much confidence when he said this. Even he didn't believe it.
"Swish!"
Just as the two of them were talking, a whistling sound could be heard. Soon after, they saw a figure rapidly running toward them with an amazing speed before stopping right in front of them.
"Brother Ye Xiao, it's great that you are fine."
The two of them were taken aback. Then, they heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the young man in front of them. Ru Lan's eyes were even redder, and tears were flowing out of her sparkling beautiful eyes.
"We thought you were swallowed by that beast, Double-Headed Flame Python."
Feng Yu said this but as soon as he said this, he felt a shiver ran down his spine. He turned his head and saw Ru Lan glaring at him. Feng Yu scratched his head and let out a hollow laugh.
After sizing up Ye Xiao, Feng Yu again asked curiously, "Brother Ye Xiao, is the Double-Headed Flame Python no longer in the cave?"
"Of course it is inside the cave." Ye Xiao twitched his mouth as he answered. He does not understand what Feng Yu was trying to say.
"Then you …" Feng Yu's eyes swept across him and said, "Aren't you a little too clean?"
Ye Xiao looked at his own body and clothes, it was even cleaner than Feng Yu and Ru Lan who only went down and returned at the top of the Valley after getting Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum. His clothes were as clean as they had been when he had left them. It was hard to imagine that his clothes were so clean even after restricting the Double-Headed Flame Python for so long.
"What's the point of all this nonsense?" Ye Xiao spoke to Feng Yu before looking at Ru Lan, who also had a look of surprise on her face. He asked, "How is it, did you get the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum?"
"Yes." Ru Lan's small face carried a look of excitement as she said, "I did not think that there would be so many Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum here. We have picked a total of Eleven stalks of Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum."
"Eleven stalks, that's good." Ye Xiao nodded his head and said.
The Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum only grew in places where the fire element was extremely exuberant. Only by absorbing enough fire elements could it grow. Generally speaking, it was already quite impressive for a place to produce one or two, but it was even rarer for there to be four. However, here, at the foot of the Flame Serpents' Valley, they actually got eleven of them all at once. This was something that neither Feng Yu nor Ru Lan dared to even think of before.
"You two should go. Since you have already obtained the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum that you wanted so bad before, you should hurry up and return to the Red Sun Sect." Ye Xiao said.
"Brother Ye Xiao, why don't you come with us as well? We can recommend you to the elders of the sect and believe me, they will definitely accept you because of our recommendation!" Feng Yu thought for a while and then asked.
Ye Xiao shook his head and replied, "No. I can not go with you guys. Maybe, we will meet again in the future but for now, I have to go somewhere else!"
When the two of them heard Ye Xiao, although they were disappointed, they still brought a smile on their face and said, "If that's what brother Ye Xiao wants then we will do as you say. But if you ever change your mind, come to the Red Sun Sect to look for us and we promise you a seat in our Red Sun Sect."
Ye Xiao nodded his head and after bidding farewell to Feng Yu and Ru Lan, he disappeared deep inside the forest.
From Ye Xiao's perspective, his encounter with Feng Yu and Ru Lan could only be said to be brought by fate. From here, their paths were different. They may never see each other again.
On the other hand, seeing Ye Xiao's disappearing figure, Ru Lan clenched her hands then she looked at Feng Yu and asked, "What did you see?"
Feng Yu looked at Ru Lan and said, "Brother Ye Xiao is not as simple as he looked. Before this, I could not see through him but after forcefully using 'that', I find out a shocking thing."
Ru Lan looked at Feng Yu whose eyes were bleeding for some reason. Her heart trembled. She gritted her teeth and asked, "What shocking thing?"
"He is stronger than your father and weaker than your grandfather. For some reason, his cultivation is suppressed." Feng Yu said.
Ru Lan took a deep breath and said, "From now on, don't use your 'All-Seeing Eye'. Grandpa said before that you need to become an Immortal if you want to use the 'All Seeing Eye' without any problem. If you continue to use the 'All Seeing Eye', you will definitely encounter many problems."
It turned out that Feng Yu had a special pair of eyes called 'All-Seeing Eye'. In front of the 'All Seeing Eye', any illusion or camouflage is useless. He can also see through the truth of a person with the help of his 'All-Seeing Eye'.
But right now, he was too weak to truly control his 'All-Seeing Eye' because of which, he always suffer some injury after using it.
Feng Yu nodded his head and said to Ru Lan, "Let's go. In the future, we will definitely meet with brother Ye Xiao again."
Ru Lan nodded her head and left with Feng Yu to the Red Sun Sect.
At this time, Ye Xiao never thought that he will once again meet these two kids in the Upper Realm.
Well, it is the talk of the future. Right now, Ye Xiao was sitting under a tree. He did not know how to go back so he could only wait for the duration of three days to over so that he can be transported back to the Infernal Phoenix Plane.
After three days, two rays of red light came out from his body and then once again collided with him. This time, it did not disappear inside his body but started to cover his entire body.
It did not take long before Ye Xiao's entire body was covered with red light and then 'woosh', Ye Xiao suddenly vanished from the Black Wind Forest.
.....
Ye Xiao once again appeared in front of the statue of the old man. When he appeared here, the old man was nowhere to be seen but soon he was manifested in front of Ye Xiao.
"Have you obtained the Infernal Phoenix Seed?" asked the old man.
Ye Xiao nodded his head and took out both boxes in front of the old man.
The old ancestor of the Zhu family nodded his head and again asked, "Do you know what is inside the other box?"
"Inferno Stone."
"Correct, it is Inferno Stone."
The old man looked at Ye Xiao in surprise. He never thought that Ye Xiao would recognize the Inferno Stone at one glance. The old man said, "Inferno Stone is an Immortal Rank Material to refine a weapon. Since you are helping my Zhu Family by bringing the Infernal Phoenix Seed to them, consider this Inferno Stone a gift from me."
"I know there is an agreement between you and my Zhu Family. By bringing the Infernal Phoenix Seed to the Zhu family, you will gain an opportunity to enter the treasury of my Zhu Family. I am not stopping you from doing that. Consider this Inferno Stone as a reward from me."
Ye Xiao immediately became excited in his heart but on the surface, he kept his calm and only nodded his head, accepting the Inferno Stone. He could not want anything more.
Before this, he was already planning to take the Inferno Stone and because of this, he stored it on the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda. Now, he did not need to show it to the Zhu Family members as it was now a reward from the Zhu Family's Ancestor.
After returning to the Zhu family, he will only give them the Infernal Phoenix Seed, enter their treasury, choose something that he likes and then he will leave.
