Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Wary Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Wary “Stop!”
Wu Fire’s frantic roar echoed, utterly weak and powerless to resist.
“Primordial Ancient Fire, something everyone dreams of, do you think I as an Alchemist would miss it?” Feng Wuchen said coldly and ruthlessly.
The Golden Dragon Seal ruthlessly devoured, giving Wu Fire no chance.
Such a terrifying Wu Fire, once missed, might never be found again in the future.
In a frenzied devouring, it did not take long before Wu Fire fell silent, completely devoured by Feng Wuchen into the Golden Dragon Seal.
“What on earth is happening? Does the High Priest recognize Feng Wuchen? Wu Fire has been devoured by Feng Wuchen, yet he does not act!”
Watching the motionless High Priest, Fu Yang, observing from a distance, was anxious.
Even if he couldn’t have it, Fu Yang hated to see Wu Fire fall into the hands of Feng Wuchen.
Baili Tianli was also full of astonishment, unable to understand what the High Priest was up to.
Feng Wuchen himself was also unclear; the reason he took action was not only to save Baili Yufeng but also for Wu Fire.
“Thank you! Thank you for the rescue!” Baili Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief and hastily expressed his gratitude.
With Wu Fire devoured by Feng Wuchen, Baili Yufeng was finally saved; otherwise, once controlled by Wu Fire and if it took over Baili Yufeng’s body, not only would Feng Wuchen be unable to devour it, but Baili Yufeng would also die.
“Your internal injuries are severe, quickly take the Healing Pill,” Feng Wuchen advised, while his gaze swept over the High Priest with caution.
Feng Wuchen did not know why the High Priest had not acted, but he was certain that the High Priest was wary of something.
This could be discerned from the slightly rigid expression on the High Priest’s face.
The High Priest did not speak or take action, just foolishly staring at Feng Wuchen.
“Yufeng, quickly take the Elixir!” Baili Tianli urgently took out an Elixir and gave it to Baili Yufeng to take.
With Feng Wuchen having timely devoured Wu Fire, Baili Tianli couldn’t help but relax.
“Young brother, I truly thank you.” Baili Tianli bowed slightly; even if it was to a junior, Feng Wuchen’s rescue of Baili Yufeng was worth his respect.
“Elder Baili is too courteous,” Feng Wuchen replied with a slight smile.
“Baili Yufeng, we had an agreement, to each vie for Wu Fire based on our own abilities, now Wu Fire is mine,” Feng Wuchen turned to Baili Yufeng and said.
Upon hearing this, Baili Yufeng gave a wry smile and said, “Even if you gave it to me now, I wouldn’t dare to take it, but a promise is a promise, and it cannot be taken back.”
Just as Baili Tianli was about to say something, Baili Yufeng quickly said, “Grand Elder, this was my promise with Feng Wuchen, without him, I wouldn’t have found Wu Fire, moreover, he saved my life.”
Hearing this, Baili Tianli had nothing to say.
No matter how reluctant Baili Tianli felt, since Baili Yufeng had spoken, he had no choice, as Baili Yufeng was the young master.
Casting a glance at the mute High Priest, Baili Yufeng said, “Feng Wuchen, you go first.”
“Thank you,” Feng Wuchen nodded, understanding Baili Yufeng’s intent and feeling a silent gratitude.
Baili Yufeng wanted Feng Wuchen to leave first because he feared the High Priest might strike during a vulnerable moment, while the presence of the Baili Clan’s elders could serve as a deterrence.
Of course, even without Baili Tianli, Feng Wuchen and his company would not be in any danger.
Ling Xiaoxiao’s spiritual barrier was by no means for show.
“Let’s go,” Feng Wuchen said, without the slightest hesitation, the group swiftly flew away at full speed.
Only after Feng Wuchen and his party had gone far did Baili Yufeng and Baili Tianli leave the Northern Boundary Abyss, with Fu Yang and Pang Xuhuai following suit.
If it weren’t for Fu Yang being there, Baili Yufeng would probably have killed Pang Xuhuai before leaving.
After all, a battle involving Divinity Transformation Realm experts would inevitably lead to a massive war should there be any casualties.
Although it was strange that the High Priest did not take action, Baili Yufeng and the others did not inquire further.
In the end, the High Priest was left alone in the entire Northern Boundary Abyss.
Now, with Wu Fire having been devoured, a vast expanse of the black sea of fire also vanished, leaving behind an utterly unrecognizable Northern Boundary Abyss.
The Northern Boundary Abyss no longer existed; only a vast crater remained.
After who knows how long, the High Priest finally let out a long sigh, with a somewhat pale face and covered in beads of sweat.
Over the calm skies of the Northern Boundary Abyss, a sound whistled through the air as someone appeared out of nowhere.
“What happened? Why didn’t you take action?” the newcomer asked, staring at the High Priest with an icy tone.
This person was the High Priest of the Yin and Yang Family, the very one Feng Wuchen had mentioned before.
The aura emanating from the High Priest was incredibly terrifying. Even without any energy fluctuations, it struck terror into those around him, as if a terrible space was formed, eliciting a feeling of being torn apart.
The High Priest frowned and said, “Long Jian.”
“Long Jian?” The High Priest’s brow creased slightly; clearly, the mere existence of Long Jian also made this High Priest wary.
“Although Feng Wuchen is not of the Dragon Clan, he does possess the Bloodline Power of the Dragon Clan and is highly regarded by them. He intervened last time to stop the Young High Priest, and now he has come to stop me again,” the High Priest said through clenched teeth, his fists tightly clenched.
Long Jian’s strength was terribly frightening. The man hadn’t even appeared, yet he had intimidated the High Priest, leaving him too scared to act, which showed just how terrifying Long Jian was.
Last time, it made the Young High Priest so furious he was almost exploding, but still, he didn’t dare to lash out.
“The Dragon Clan has repeatedly meddled in our Yin and Yang Family’s affairs, truly not putting our family in their eyes!” the High Priest said icily, as an immense killing intent spread out.
The High Priest’s face darkened, and he said through gritted teeth, “High Priest, the Primordial Fire has been taken by Feng Wuchen. With the Dragon Clan repeatedly forcing their way into our affairs, how much longer must we endure?”
The High Priest spoke gravely, “The Wu Fire matter is not urgent; even if Feng Wuchen refines it, we can still take it back. For now, the Dragon Clan is protecting him, and we need not provoke them. When the time is ripe, what can the Dragon Clan count for?”
After a pause, the High Priest continued, “The Wu Fire has already appeared in this world, and with Feng Wuchen under the protection of the Dragon Clan, we don’t have to worry about others taking it. Go back and prepare to search for another type of Primordial Ancient power.”
“High Priest, what kind of Primordial Ancient power does Feng Wuchen possess?” the High Priest curiously asked.
The High Priest shook his head and said, “I haven’t figured it out either. His Primordial power has merged with the Bloodline Power of the Dragon Clan, and the aura is very strange. His power seems to have three kinds of auras, and I can’t tell what power it is.”
“Since Feng Wuchen is not a person of the Dragon Clan, yet they value him so greatly, this Feng Wuchen must be extraordinary,” the High Priest speculated.
“Regardless of what background Feng Wuchen has, his existence ensures that we keep the Primordial Ancient power and the Wu Fire. High Priest, find the other Primordial Ancient powers as soon as possible,” the High Priest instructed.
“Rest assured, High Priest. I will definitely find it as soon as possible,” the High Priest respectfully assured as he bowed.
