“You don’t need to worry about that.” Lü Cheng stood up and walked towards the Starry Sky Tree.
Flame Princess is a special flame life form born from the flames of heavenly tribulation; powerful flame energy is the best tonic for her.
And what he has in abundance is fire!
boom! ! !
A towering, fiery red pillar of fire erupted suddenly from Lü Cheng's core, then rapidly spread out until it enveloped the entire summit of Fire Pillar Mountain.
Lu Cheng released all the Heavenly Tribulation Flames he had previously absorbed. The terrifying flame energy condensed and compressed, surging towards the last remaining Fire Tribulation Fruit on the trunk of the Star Language Heavenly Tree.
"That's... the flames of calamity?"
The people climbing Fire Pillar Mountain froze.
Didn't we agree that the Calamity Fire wouldn't erupt continuously?
Why is it so close to their face?!
"Run!"
The people who were rushing up the mountain just a second ago turned around and began to flee for their lives.
"Commander Nan Jue, we..."
Looking at the terrifying pillar of fire erupting from the mountaintop, a bronze-skinned officer glanced in alarm at the leading female officer with a hooked nose.
"Don't panic, that's not a fire disaster," Nan Jue said.
"That pillar of fire started from the ground. According to records, the fire calamity is a flame that falls from the sky, like a thunderbolt striking the ground, and then it begins to erupt."
"Moreover, if it really is a fire calamity, given that thing's speed, we are so close to the core now, we can't escape even if we wanted to."
"But even if it's not a fire calamity, what level of creature would it be to create such terrifying flames?" a female officer asked nervously.
"Can we... obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit from that being?"
"..."
The team fell silent.
Having finally crossed the turbulent Sha Wang River, we were just one step away from the final one when this problem arose.
To be honest, even Nan Jue, the strongest person here, wasn't confident he could survive those terrifying flames. But to make them retreat like that...
"Commander Nan Jue, someone's coming from behind." The female officer on guard duty at the rear ran up to him.
"You're here, why are you in such a panic?" Nan Jue asked, puzzled.
“There’s a very terrifying aura emanating from their ranks,” the female officer said nervously.
"At least, he's at the commander level!"
Nan Jue's expression froze.
Commander-in-Chief level?
Is the Hunter Alliance really going all out?
"Commander Nan Jue, should we... give up?" the female officer asked hesitantly.
Even if the flames on the mountain are not a calamity, a team of mages capable of controlling commander-level demons will not relinquish the fruits of a calamity simply because they are part of the military.
"Those are...people from the Dunhuang Military Region?"
While Nan Jue and his group hesitated, Ye Xinxia and her group caught up.
"Are they also here to steal the Fire Calamity Fruit?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.
"Are the people from the Dunhuang Military Region so poor that they've come here to rob us?"
Upon hearing Mo Fan's almost mocking question, Nan Jue and his group's expressions immediately fell.
poverty?
Do you know how valuable the Fire Calamity Fruit is?
You bumpkin!
Chapter 104 The Birth of Flame Princess
105.
……
"If you're here for the Fire Calamity Fruit, I suggest you give up. Even if there are extras up there, you won't get any."
Out of consideration for their shared profession as military mages, Zhang Xiaohou kindly offered this reminder.
Lu Cheng was indeed easy to talk to, but only with friends. If these people were any less polite to strangers, he felt they would all have to stay here!
Nan Jue frowned. "Aren't you guys a little too confident?"
If there were only one, she definitely wouldn't have given it up, but if there were more, she couldn't go back empty-handed after going through so much trouble to cross the Sand River!
"You misunderstood. It's not that we're confident, it's that thing up there." Zhang Xiaohou pointed to the pillar of fire on the mountaintop.
"We may not be a match for you, but the one above can keep you here forever!"
Nan Jue was taken aback. "What...does that mean?"
"Was that pillar of fire man-made?"
Zhang Xiaohou nodded. "This commotion must mean there's a fight."
But that doesn't make sense. Lü Cheng came to Huozhu Mountain a few days ago, so why is he only starting to fight now?
"Forget it, let's ignore these people who value money over their lives," Zhao Manyan said.
"If they dare to try and take advantage of the chaos at this time, I'm sure they'll all be reduced to ashes!"
Lu Cheng is not known for his good temper. With such a big commotion from above, the crackdown is sure to be fierce. If these people manage to sneak in at this time, they will definitely not survive.
"Not necessarily." Mo Fan shook his head and pointed to the Zhijue.
"She should survive."
Lu Cheng is very pragmatic and has very little patience for men, but he is much more patient with girls, whether they are cute little girls or beautiful young women. As long as they are not the kind of girls who cannot understand human language, they will basically not die.
“Indeed.” Zhao Manyan looked Nan Jue up and down and nodded in agreement.
"The men all have to die, but the women... should be able to live."
"..."
As Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan's discussions became increasingly explicit, Nan Jue and his group looked quite displeased.
Kill the man, leave the woman alive?
What the hell else could this mean?
"Brother Mo Fan, stop joking," Xin Xia interrupted.
“Brother Acheng isn’t that superficial.”
Mo Fan looked at him strangely, "Xinxia, is Brother Cheng really that superficial!"
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan both nodded in agreement.
Lu Cheng is very casual in his actions, and most of the time, he really is that superficial.
“No, that won’t happen,” Xinxia retorted.
“These people are all from the military. If Brother Cheng were to make a move, he definitely wouldn’t leave a single one alive, otherwise it would be very troublesome.”
“I also think he will destroy the evidence,” Mu Nujiao said.
"However, we're here too. He'll probably disguise himself as a demon and attack, so we won't see anything."
“I think so too!” Ai Tutu agreed.
"Not necessarily. Acheng might also create an opportunity for legitimate self-defense. After all, he is the presiding judge, and his words carry more weight than these people's," Ding Yumin said.
"Perhaps he will deliberately leave a few people behind, waiting for them to go back and complain, and then let them experience the despair of crying out to heaven and earth in vain. In the end, they will be taken down by the court on charges of falsely accusing a member of parliament and spend the rest of their dark lives in prison."
"..."
"Probably!"
Ye Xinxia and the others all expressed their agreement.
Lü Cheng is really capable of doing something like this!
You should know that he is not only the honorary presiding judge of the Imperial Capital Tribunal, but also an honorary councilor of the Magic Court!
In the absence of absolute evidence, any accusation can be considered a false accusation!
Falsely accusing a member of parliament is a serious crime!
Moreover, who would falsely accuse a member of parliament for no reason?
Friend, you wouldn't happen to be a member of the Black Vatican, would you?
