Chapter 44 Fire of Nothingness— the Fire from Hell

Although the night made people sad, it was quiet.

The stars came out and shone brightly. It grew darker and darker and then disappeared in front of Ronghua, just like before.

“Ronghua!” Ronghua was speechless, for it was that voice again. “I’m not in the dream, so why can she find me?” she thought.

Thinking of being inconvenient on the tree, she found a quiet place to sit down. She took a deep breath and fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed.

As expected, she saw a woman looking at her in front as soon as she came in the dream. She still couldn’t see her face clearly because there was always a mist on her face. No matter what method she used, she could not see her face clearly.

Ronghua looked at her expressionlessly and strode toward her. She asked when she was walking, “Why are you here again?”

Ronghua looked at her speechless. After such a long time, she still haunts her, and always could find her.

Ronghua, looking impatient and a little angry, said as she was walking, “Have you been looking for me for a long time? You can find me even when I’m not in the dream. I don’t know what your purpose is.”

As expected, she still couldn’t see what her face looked like.

She still stood demurely, with her hands on her chest. If Ronghua could have seen her face, it would be with a gentle smile.

“I’m sorry I did this, but I still have to find you.”

Ronghua looked at her speechless, and instantly summoned the fire of nothingness out of her hand. “Go ahead!” she said.

She probably knew what Ronghua meant too, but she had to say it because it was important. “Lingxi,” she said.

Hearing Lingxi, she was shocked, and the fire of nothingness in her hand went out. Yes, she hadn’t looked for Lingxi for a long time, because of her reasons. After coming back from the mysterious territory, she had not seen Lingxi. She didn’t know how she was with that person.

Ronghua calmed down and said to the woman in front, “I will. I will find Lingxi and take her to a safe place.”

After Ronghua finished the words, the woman said nothing and retreated.

No one would believe it that Ronghua could do anything, but she was afraid of the woman’s words. Somehow, that woman was always able to tell her a lot of things in any way, including a lot of things she didn’t know. When did it start? Maybe it started from when she came back. With the permission of Qingyi, she opened the world-changing platform inside the world-changing bow and released some memories inside. She did not know which part of the memories were. But one thing was for sure, this part of the memory must have something to do with Lingran. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had so many chances to find her.

If it weren’t because her own things had not finished, the woman would never be given so many opportunities to find her.

But what’s Lingxi been doing for so long?

If they were taken, they would immediately guess her identity. That Murong Zhe looked careless and casual, but actually, he was brilliant and much more thoughtful than Xia Pumo.

But I heard that Xia Pumo was also a calm person. Now he became like this because he met me. He didn’t intend to believe me. It was estimated that he would follow me and be under my command just for Murong Zhe.

Without full assurance, she must not reveal her identity.

Although Murong Zhe had begun to doubt her, he would not really think that the loud sound during the day was the sound of the explosion of the alchemy furnace. Xia Pumo just glanced at it, but he was thinking about the real reason for the blast, and he wanted to learn alchemy and her alchemy method.

The experience of Golden Bodhi Tree clearly told her that Xia Pumo and Murong Zhe could help her, but she absolutely couldn’t believe them. The two of them were definitely smarter than they looked like.

Ronghua found a big bird—a fourth-order flame bird.

Its flying speed was not bad, so it was not a problem to find Lingxi with it.

But the look of the man behind her really made her uncomfortable.

She just pulled him out of bed.

Ronghua sat on the neck of the flame bird, and she kept away from the two men because she could definitely be frightened to death by Murong Zhe’s eyes if she was close to them.

Xia Pumo broke the awkward situation by saying, “Ronghua, where are we going?” “Don’t they cultivate? After taking Ronghua’s elixir yesterday, his spiritual power became stronger. He has a good foundation, though he is just scrapped Golden Pellet. Now the Golden Pellet is called back. With Ronghua’s elixir and skills, he is making rapid progress and can be in charge of his affairs,” he thought.

Ronghua looked aside and said, “To find a person.”

Murong Zhe complained, “Who are you looking for? Why take us with you? Couldn’t we wait for you there?”

Ronghua smiled at Murong Zhe and said, “No. As soon as I leave, all the camouflage there will disappear, and there will be no place for you to hide.”

Murong Zhe said, “You can teach us how to use it. Now Mo has recovered half of his spiritual power. I am still a soul body, and you don’t have any excess spiritual power, so we just go out and find death?”

Ronghua was angry and kept a poker face, but Murong Zhe did not see it. He continued, “What kind of person is it that needs to go today? Mo has not recovered….”

“All right!” Xia Pumo took Murong Zhe’s hand to stop him from speaking.

Because Ronghua sat with her back to them, they did not see that the fire of nothingness in Ronghua’s hand had begun to burn.

They didn’t feel it, but the flame bird below did. The fire of nothingness was not far from it, and now it was trembling when flying. It was afraid that Ronghua would be angry with it. Although it didn’t know what kind of flame it was, it was not ordinary.

Fortunately, Ronghua held down the anger in time and put up the fire. It was not joking that whoever caught it would die or be maimed.

“To find a vital person, if we find her, what we are going to do will be easier,” Ronghua said.

Xia Pumo agreed, “Well, our overall strength is too weak now, so finding this person may be helpful to us. Don’t you think, Zhe?”

Murong Zhe looked at Ronghua’s back with the eyes that could not be seen through.

“Zhe!” Xia Pumo tugged at Murong Zhe’s sleeve and shouted, “Zhe, what’s the matter with you?”

Murong Zhe said, “Nothing, just a little unhappy.”

Ronghua looked sideways at them, and she smiled where they could not see.

Suddenly an arrow flew from below. When the flame bird noticed it, it immediately flapped its wings to avoid the deadly arrow.

They were almost shaken off before they had time to react. Murong Zhe was shaken to the edge and almost fell off, but fortunately, Xia Pumo caught him in time.

Ronghua looked down and only saw a group of men in white robes with bows and arrows looking at them. No, perhaps they were looking at the flame bird they were sitting on.

The flame birds were so rare that they barely could be seen at all, and it was only by chance that they saw one and used it as the mount. Unexpectedly, it was also liked by others, and they were almost killed.

Xia Pumo also saw these people. “Ronghua,” he asked with his eyes, “what should we do?”

Ronghua was not very familiar with the following group of people, but Xia Pumo was.

Jianglian family, started with bird-training, was good at training any bird-monsters as fighting beasts. But hadn’t they stopped catching birds for a long time?

It was estimated that all the birds in their family had been given to the next generation or died, so there were no extra high-order birds, and they had no choice but to come out to catch them! However, they even calculated Ronghua, and they were not likely to come to a good end…

Ronghua looked at the people below with cold eyes, and the chill in her eyes was obvious. “Jianglian family, you are too bold. How dare you hurt my things!”

Ronghua controlled the flame bird to continue flying upward. “Since that is the case, I will give you an unforgettable memory!” Ronghua said.

Looking at the smile on Ronghua’s face, Xia Pumo hugged Murong Zhe tightly and said, “Zhe, hold me tight. Ronghua is going to butcher again.”

Someone had intercepted Ronghua and him and intended to kill them before, and no one alive at last.

The flame bird kept flying up. When the people below saw it, they shouted, “Come on, the flame bird is running away. Catch it.”

“Stop it! This flame bird has more than fourth-order of cultivation, and it can be trained as a contractual monster.”

“Come on, fire-rain arrows.”

A rugged fellow kicked up the fire-rain arrow in his quiver, with a bow half his height held in his hand. He put the fire-rain arrow on the bow and drew it. The muscles in his hands were bursting, and his eyes were wide with anger. He stared at the flame bird, which was flying upward.

“Be careful, and don’t hurt it.”

As soon as the words were finished, the arrow roared away. Ronghua also felt the danger behind her, and the corner of her mouth raised, pulling the flame bird’s head to make a sharp turn and rushing towards the arrow.

The people below took a look and said, “Is that bird looking for death?”

But on closer inspection, one sharp-eyed man saw something and cried, “Uncle, there are people on that bird.”

“What?”

Unexpectedly, the fourth-order flame bird had its owner. It had been said in the family rules that the birds with owners must not be caught. Otherwise, they would be expelled from the family.

At this time, they were terrified. How could they catch it? Besides, they shot an arrow at it just now. What should they do now?

The woman next was Jianglian Xuan. She had never thought of this change and had expected that the family would catch a bird for her this time, and she was excited about it. One second before, she still thought that the flame bird was so fierce that she would gain face to take it out. But the next second, she found that it had an owner and her dream was shattered.

But how could she be reconciled like this! A sudden thought occurred to her, and she leaned close to the old man and said, “Uncle, you can catch the bird.”

Hearing this, the old man got angry. “Nonsense! This flame bird has an owner, how can we catch it? We can only catch the bird without an owner. Do you want to be expelled from the family?”

The old man was Jianglian Shan, the second patriarch of the Jianglian family. When he heard Jianglian Xuan said that, he was dissatisfied.

Jianglian Xuan continued, “If the bird’s owner dies, isn’t it ownerless?”

Jianglian Shan didn’t expect she could say such words. “You want to kill her?” he asked.

Jianglian Xuan shook her head and said, “No, it’s not us that killed her; it was she who killed herself.”

If he couldn’t understand what Jianglian Xuan meant, he wouldn’t have been in this position for so long. Moreover, this Jianglian Xuan was not easy to get along with.

After pondering for a while, he said, “Okay!”

On hearing it, Jilanglian Xuan knew her words worked.

After a snap of Ronghua fingers, the fire of nothingness fell from her fingertips and went straight toward the fire-rain arrow. When the flame met the arrow, it immediately wrapped it and melted it.

The man below who shot the arrow was frightened by the situation. “Your Lord, that arrow….”

As soon as he said it, everyone looked up, only to see the fire-rain arrow was melting.

Jianglian Shan felt a little strange, “Is the fire of the flame bird so fierce?”

They were a little frightened.

At the sight of such a fierce bird, Jianglian Xuan shouted, “What are you doing? Catch it quickly.”

Jianglian Shan came to himself and deployed immediately.

Ronghua looked at them busy working there and felt that she didn’t want to deal with them.

“Clowns,” Ronghua said.

Xia Pumo also saw the great power of Ronghua’s fire and tried to speak, but he was stopped by Murong Zhe. He whispered, “Ronghua will not stop until they are solved.”

Xia Pumo said, “Then let her continue like this?”

Murong Zhe took a look at Ronghua’s side face and said, “She knows when to stop. Maybe she just wants to teach them a lesson.”

Ronghua looked at the men below and thought they were doing something very defensive. Instead, they shot thousands of arrows.

“Courting death!” Ronghua thought.
