Guchang regained his sense and looked at the crowd carefully until his gaze paused on Huoyun Yurou. “M-matriarch Huoyun?”
Huoyun Yurou’s eyes turned cold as she stared at Du Huanfeng. “What do you mean by this?” As she spoke, her aura gradually spread out and enveloped Du Huanfeng’s group.
Du Huanfeng trembled slightly but continued to act as if nothing had happened. “What do I mean? Of course, I brought him here to identify something.” He turned to Guchang and asked. “Answer what I am going to ask you honestly, and I will let you and your son go.”
“Tui!” Guchang spat on Du Huanfeng, but the latter cleverly avoided it. “You’ve killed all my people, and now you want us to go? Hahaha! Where can I go?” ｂｏ𝚟𝚕.
His eyes turned red from sadness and anger. Several hours ago, he and the villagers were busy dealing with the Abyssal Poison around the village. Du Huanfeng’s group suddenly appeared out of nowhere and began to massacre everyone. He tried his best to fight, but the opponents were too many. Ultimately, he and his son were captured and brought to this place.
Huoyun Yurou’s face changed drastically. Her aura rose sharply, and clusters of flame quickly shot out toward Du Huanfeng’s group.
Du Huanfeng had already prepared for this. Immediately, the Soul Suppressing Divine Cauldron appeared before him and began to rotate crazily, releasing a golden brilliant. The golden lid on top of the cauldron opened up, and all the flame clusters were sucking into the cauldron. Within two seconds, the flame clusters completely vanished without a trace left behind.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on Du Huanfeng’s forehead. Fortunately, he came prepared. Otherwise, he would turn into ashes by now.
Huoyun Yurou frowned slightly and tapped her crane on the ground, sending another round of flame clusters toward Du Huanfeng.
Bang!
Du Huanfeng quickly slapped the cauldron, and several clusters of golden flame shot out, heading straight to the incoming crimson flame clusters.
Instantly, the golden and crimson flames collided and tried to swallow each other like a battle between two fire pythons.
While Du Huanfeng concentrated on the battle, Yun Lintian’s figure transformed into a shadowy figure and reappeared beside Guchang.
Du San and the other two old men seemed to have expected this for a long time. The moment Yun Lintian appeared, they quickly conjured a profound barrier to confine the space around Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian didn’t care much about this. He sent out Dragon Fist and quickly pulled Guchang and Fan away.
Roar—
A virtual fire dragon emerged with a deafening dragon cry, going straight at Du San. Du San’s expression became solemn. He had now understood how those people he sent to kill Yun Lintian ended up being killed instead. Yun Lintian’s battle prowess was abnormally high. It was like he was in the Monarch Profound Realm instead of the Ruler Profound Realm.
“Hah!” Du San let out a loud roar. An enormous flame image of a strange tree manifested itself behind him. The tree branches instantly spread out, surrounding the incoming fire dragon, and bound it to the place.
Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. He quickly waved his hand, and several flame arrows appeared around him. “Go!”
As he flickered his wrist, all the flame arrows shot straight onto the tree branches, completely cutting them loose, allowing the virtual fire dragon to regain freedom.
“Roar!” The fire dragon roared angrily, opening its mouth wide and taking a fierce bite at Du San.
Du San hurriedly retracted his power and retreated with all his might.
Boom!
The fire dragon missed the target and burst the floor where Du San stood earlier into pieces.
Yun Lintian used this chance to leave the confining barrier and retreated to the other end of the platform.
“Trash!” Du Huanfeng cursed in a low voice when he saw this scene. He didn’t hesitate to slap on the cauldron again and sucked all the flame clusters into it.
“Hmph! Have you seen it? How could he save them if they didn’t know each other?” Du Huanfeng ignored Huoyun Yurou and turned to Tianqi Junlai. “My subordinate has found a clue of this Mu Chen. When he arrived on this continent for the first time, he encountered this Guchang and his son. They conspired together and tried to go against the Crimson Ox Clan.”
Tianqi Junlai frowned slightly and asked. “Who exactly is Mu Chen?”
“It’s a long story. I will shorten it. He appeared on the Central Continent months ago and joined the Black Wing Mercenary Group as a guest elder. He possesses a high battle prowess beyond his realm.” Du Huanfeng paused for a moment and continued. “Back then, I sent a few people to capture him, but they all ended up getting killed instead.”
He turned to look at Yun Lintian and said further. “His background is unknown. However, he claimed himself as the Snow Maiden Mu Qiuxue’s disciple.” As he said this, he looked in Mu Qiuxue’s direction.
Tianqi Junlai and others seemed to think of something and subconsciously looked at Yun Lintian and Mu Qiuxue.
“No wonder he spent such a high price on her.” Pei Xiewen said.
“I’m curious. Why did you think Huoyun Tian was the same person as Mu Chen? Look at him. His bloodline is obvious. It’s impossible for him to be a human.” Lang Moxie interjected.
Du Huanfeng curled his lips. “Senior Lang, there are countless disguise techniques out there. Who knows? He might use one right now.” Before Lang Moxie could refute, Du Huanfeng said further. “I know it’s difficult to prove, but I have a way.”
“Oh? Which way?” Lang Moxie asked interestingly.
Du Huanfeng chuckled. “This Mu Chen is always moving around with his companion beast. It is a small snow tiger. Don’t you think Huoyun Tian and Mu Chen are similar in this regard?”
Everyone subconsciously turned to Linlin, who was standing beside Mu Qiuxue.
“So it’s him!” At this moment, Zi Liuchen, who was sitting below Zi Jinghu, blurted out.
