Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 817
Chapter 817 Probe Into
After killing the two of them, Ye Feng and Zi Xin looked around the village, hoping that there would still be survivors.
Actually, when Ye Feng came, he knew that everyone had died. The reason why he was looking for them was to give Zi Xinlan some comfort.
“Chai Clan, I will definitely not let you off. Killing innocent people is simply inhumane!”
There was a faint frost on Zi Xinlan’s delicate face. These people were very simple and unchallenged. They were actually dragged into this. Before Da Zhuang died, he had said that he wanted to avenge him.
If it weren’t for the people in the village taking care of her, Zi Xinlan wouldn’t have been able to settle her mother, so she had to take revenge.
Feeling Zi Xinlan’s murderous intent, Ye Feng shook his head. It seemed that there was going to be another slaughter.
“Let’s go. It just so happens that the Chai Clan has also entered the Fire Mountain Range. If possible, kill every single one of them. We can’t wait until your mother is cured before coming back to think of a way.”
Ye Feng said in a comforting tone. Although he only met the people in the stronghold once, Ye Feng was still attracted by their simplicity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have almost comprehended the Minute Sword Intent.
Zi Xinlan nodded her head. The poison on her body had yet to be undone. To seek revenge from the Chai Clan now was undoubtedly to take an egg and hit a rock. The first thing she needed to do was to deal with the poison from the Green Ran Flower on her body.
Little Bai soared into the air. The two of them left this place. Once a paradise, they were now a pile of trash. This caused Zi Xinlan’s heart to become very heavy.
Along the way, the two of them spoke very little. Ye Feng did not disturb Zi Xinlan. If it was anyone else, it would not be good. Even an outsider like Ye Feng wanted to destroy the Chai Clan. What they did was simply the common indignation of the gods and humans, and they would suffer the wrath of the heavens.
Thinking of those young children, their innocent smiling faces had actually died tragically under the fork, drowned alive, the killing intent on Ye Feng’s body began to thicken.
After flying for half a day, the two finally arrived at the entrance of the Flame Mountain Range and discovered that a large number of martial artists had already entered.
“Let’s go in too!”
Little Bai was unable to withstand such a hot wave of fire and directly hid inside his storage ring. Ye Feng and Zi Xinlan took out their fire cloaks and put them on. Only then did they feel better.
As they stepped into the Fire Mountain Range, waves of fire came towards them. They were like seawater, capable of drowning people. It was extremely terrifying.
The intense heat caused Zi Xinlan’s body to sweat slightly. On the other hand, Ye Feng only had a faint heat coming from his body, and no heat sweat appeared.
The Fire-controlling Cloak was only able to withstand the flames. It could not withstand the heat wave and could only neutralize half of it. Without the Domain Fire Cloak, Ye Feng estimated that he would not be able to last for an hour in the Fire Mountain Range.
No wonder Jiu Wumo said that even the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts would be roasted by the blazing flames and turned into ashes if they accidentally entered.
After walking for an incense stick of time, Ye Feng also began to sweat. Zi Xinlan had already begun to use her cultivation to resist.
The Fire Mountain Range was boundless. The map had already been carved into Ye Feng’s mind. It would take him at least two to three days to cross it.
In the middle area, there was a place where the temperature was slightly lower. If one wanted to cross the Fire Mountain Range, one had to rush to that place at night. Otherwise, one’s body would not be able to withstand it for the rest of the day.
“There’s a figure ahead!”
Their footsteps weren’t slow, and they soon discovered that there was a shadow shaking in front of them.
“Probably came here to find Fire Jade!”
Ye Feng had already discovered it and said indifferently. At this moment, he did not have the energy to search for any Fire Jade. If he could safely cross the Fire Mountain Range, then Ye Feng would be Amitabha.
Although it was called the Fire Mountain Range, it was actually not that big. There were only two main veins, roughly a thousand miles long. On both sides of the mountain range, there were endless abyss. There was only one path that could cross it. Therefore, it was normal to be able to see the figure in front of them.
“What happened up ahead?”
Zi Xinlan had been paying attention to the front and noticed that there were quite a few people moving back and forth, as if they were dodging something.
“Fiery Magical Beast!”
Ye Feng’s eyes narrowed. His divine sense could only send out a distance of ten thousand meters. Any more would be evaporated, and he could feel the aura of the flaming magical beast.
“Rose Fruit!”
Zi Xinlan immediately thought of Mei Guo. Unfortunately, she came in such a hurry that she didn’t have time to prepare.
Many martial artists who came in this time did not actually have any rose fruits on them. With so many people coming in, the rose fruits in the small city had long been unsaleable, and only a small portion of them had bought them.
If Ye Feng hadn’t come early, he probably wouldn’t have gotten so much of the Rose Fruit even if it had been sold out.
“Let’s slow down!”
Ye Feng sensed a bloody aura. It was estimated that someone had died. This time, there were about two thousand martial artists entering. Many of them had already gone deep into it, but Ye Feng could not sense it.
Unknowingly, Zi Xinlan had already taken Ye Feng as her backbone. When Ye Feng said to slow down, their speed immediately slowed down.
Half an hour later, Ye Feng appeared at the place where the shadow was shaking just now. He discovered that there were only a dozen skeletons on the ground. Ye Feng lightly touched them, and these skeletons turned into ash.
“They were all killed by the fire magical beasts. Some of them were probably killed by the fire magical beasts after their capes were washed away by the fire magical beasts and were directly attacked by the heat wave.”
Ye Feng deduced the answer from their bones.
This was only on the periphery. There were people who died. If they wanted to go deep into the Fire Mountain Range, they still didn’t know what kind of danger they would encounter. The two of them also became vigilant.
“Big Brother Ye, why did you also come to Qinli Middle Continent!”
Zi Xinlan broke the silence and asked Ye Feng.
Ye Feng didn’t hide anything from Zi Xinlan and simply said it.
“I didn’t expect you to be so filial. It’s really rare!”
Ye Feng actually had such great perseverance after searching for his father for tens of thousands of kilometers.
“Compared to you, I’m ashamed of being inferior!”
Ye Feng smiled self-deprecatingly. Zi Xinlan carried her mother and crossed many mountains and rivers. In order to cure her mother, she had endured many hardships. Compared to her, Ye Feng was really nothing.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, because the two of them came to Qinli Middle Continent for the same purpose and found something in common with each other.
After talking for a while, Zi Xinlan’s mood was obviously much better. She no longer felt so heavy and put the hatred in her heart first.
“What do you plan to do in the future? After curing your mother, will you return to the northern snowy plains?”
Ye Feng asked with a tentative tone.
“I don’t know yet!”
Zi Xinlan did not lie. The only motivation that supported her now was to cure her mother. If her mother was really cured, or if her mother was no longer around, where would she go?
All along, Zi Xinlan had never thought of this question. Today, when Ye Feng asked, she had no choice but to consider it.
“Do you have any relatives other than your mother now?”
Compared to Zi Xinlan, Ye Feng was still happier. After all, his parents were still alive, and there were many people who loved him.
“No!”
Zi Xinlan replied straightforwardly. She had grown up in Scorpion Palace since she was young. The person closest to her was the Palace Master, and there were no other people. Now, Scorpion Palace did not exist, and she could not return to the Northern Region’s Snowy Plains.
“If you have other relatives, what should you do?”
Ye Feng probed bit by bit. After all, the relationship between Zi Xinlan and Ya’er was extraordinary. The two of them weren’t nieces and aunts in the real sense, but they only had the same bloodline flowing through their bodies.
Zi Xinlan was related to Ya’er’s father, so whether Zi Xinlan could accept it or not was not clear to Ye Feng, so he asked tentatively.
“If I still have relatives, I will definitely protect him for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, the heavens will not give me this chance!”
Zi Xinlan was telling the truth. Who didn’t want to have a family? From childhood until now, Zi Xinlan had never enjoyed the life of her family. She couldn’t experience happiness. Every day, she was strictly demanded by the Palace Master.
“The heavens will give you this chance!”
Ye Feng smiled faintly and roughly understood what Zi Xinlan was thinking.
Zi Xinlan did not care. She thought that Ye Feng was talking about her mother getting better and did not think about going in another direction.
The deeper he went, the heatwave was like a flame. The two of them were roasted until their faces were red. Ye Feng felt better. After all, there were five elements in his body. At worst, it formed a five-element cycle that could convert the flame aura.
However, Zi Xinlan was different. She did not have any Five Elements, so she could only rely on Yuan Qi to resist the erosion of the flames. Soon, she felt that her True Essence had been consumed quite a bit.
“Give me your hand!”
Ye Feng suddenly stretched out his hand and asked Zi Xinlan to give him her hand. This caused Zi Xinlan to be stunned on the spot.
Looking at Zi Xinlan’s vigilant gaze, Ye Feng smiled bitterly. It was estimated that the other party treated him as a lackeys.
“I don’t have any other thoughts. If you still want to cross the Fire Mountain Range, give me your hand. Otherwise, you will be roasted by the flames before you reach halfway.”
Ye Feng continued. It turned out that he wanted to help Zi Xinlan.
After hesitating for a moment, Zi Xinlan looked at Ye Feng with her clear eyes. Other than her slightly red complexion, there wasn’t much sweat on Ye Feng’s body. She looked at Ye Feng with a strange gaze.
“I have cultivated the True Qi of Frost, so I can resist the Qi of Flame.”
Ye Feng explained.
After explaining, Zi Xinlan finally stretched out her hand. This was the first time she had let a man hold her hand. Zi Xinlan’s little heart pounded until a cold aura came from Ye Feng’s palm. Only then did Zi Xinlan react.
The two hands clenched together tightly. Ye Feng continuously transmitted the Ice Element over. Zi Xinlan immediately gave up using her True Essence to resist the flames. The temperature on her body quickly dropped.
The two of them held hands like this, just like a pair of small lovers. Ye Feng walked in front, Zi Xinlan lagged behind by a step. The corner of their eyes constantly looked at Ye Feng, and they discovered that Ye Feng’s temperament was actually different from other men’s.
She had experienced too many things over the years and had seen too many people. In her heart, the word “man” meant that apart from the people she met in the village, in Zi Xinlan’s eyes, there was not a single good thing about men.
This probably had a lot to do with him growing up in the Scorpion Palace, and he had always rejected men.
All these years, when a man saw that he wasn’t lustful, no matter how well he concealed it, he could still see a trace of possessiveness in the depths of his eyes.
However, when Zi Xinlan saw that Ye Feng’s eyes were as clear as ice water in a deep pond, her vigilance slowly relaxed. She discovered that Ye Feng’s temperament was different from other men’s.
“Is there a flower growing on my back?”
Ye Feng suddenly said something, causing Zi Xinlan’s face to turn red. Only then did he realize that he must be staring at Ye Feng’s back.
“I’m so embarrassed!”
Zi Xinlan stamped her feet, but she did not expect that Ye Feng would tear her apart.
