Chapter 433: Crimson Flame Fire Flood Dragon Sect

Zhao Zheng continued speaking in his unhurried manner:

"While the Flame-Averting Pill isn't a medicinal pill that can enhance internal technique cultivation, it's quite difficult to refine, making it something of a rarity."

"Those above us gave each of us two pills. Now I'm giving each of you one more, so everyone will be able to stay on Fire Flood Dragon Island for forty-five days."

"If you encounter a more ferocious high-temperature area, taking two pills together, or even three at once, will grant you true flame-averting ability for a short time - fire cannot touch you!"

"The advantages here, I don't need to elaborate for everyone to understand."

Hua Zhuo and the others certainly understood the advantages. Having an extra Flame-Averting Pill was equivalent to having more room for error.

If they encountered some unexpected situation on Fire Flood Dragon Island, one extra pill could mean one extra chance at survival!

"You can take them simultaneously? Based on how he describes it, that probably grants flame immunity?"

Yang Ling's mind stirred. This made him even more confident in his regional advantage.

When it came to flame immunity, he believed he was absolutely at the forefront.

"Fourth Prince, as the saying goes, one does not accept rewards without merit. Today, when Princess Zhao called us over, I assumed it was merely for casual conversation."

"Now it seems the Fourth Prince has some arrangements in mind?"

The speaker was none other than the strongest Upper Sixth-Rank from the Divine Sect on this trip.

Yang Ling opened his status panel and took a look.

Character: Qin Kunlun

Class: Martial Artist

Strength: 150

Agility: 149

Spirit: 75

Martial Arts: Divine Path Heart Sutra (Skilled)

Giant Spirit Mountain-Shaking Art (Second-Rate, Skilled)

Divine Thought Palm (Transcendent)

Flowing Light Body Art (Transcendent)

Faction: Divine Sect

"This one's combat power is a cut above Jie Shu and Hua Zhuo. He's cultivated two Second-Rate internal techniques simultaneously, both reaching the Skilled realm."

Yang Ling had already met Jie Shu and Hua Zhuo by now. Only the Extreme Flame Sword Manor side remained uncon tacted.

However, among the Upper Sixth-Rank experts heading to Fire Flood Dragon Island this time, this Qin Kunlun before him would certainly rank in the top three.

Among the Natives of the Divine Realm, perhaps only Zhao Zheng could solidly suppress him.

After all, that one cultivated only First-Rate internal techniques and First-Class martial arts techniques.

Zhao Zheng nodded with a smile:

"Correct. I plan to venture to a dangerous location this time and need some helpers. The Flame-Averting Pills are merely the preliminary benefits.

Once the matter is accomplished, there will be even more generous rewards."

Li Ruhai's eyes flickered. The first thought that came to his mind was the Fire Spirit Pearl.

He believed the Fourth Prince might already know where the Fire Spirit Pearl would appear.

Zhao Zheng's words left everyone present with varied thoughts.

Qin Kunlun thought for a moment, then slowly rose with a smile:

"Fourth Prince, our main purpose in going to the island this time is to participate in the Sixth-Rank Top Hundred Battle and exchange sparring with the Sixth-Rank experts from the Rong tribe.

I'm afraid we won't have additional time. My apologies."

Zhao Zheng's expression didn't change as he smiled and nodded:

"Understood."

As Qin Kunlun left, he took Li Ruhai, Tong He, and Dongfang Haojie with him.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingying looked embarrassed:

"Fourth Brother, I..."

"Didn't you already promise Tong He first? Of course you must honor your word. Fourth Brother won't make things difficult for you."

Zhao Zheng said.

Zhao Yingying felt a bit awkward and rose to leave as well.

Yang Ling was somewhat surprised. These fellows rejected the offer without even asking for details?

"That's right. The first-rate sects' understanding of Fire Flood Dragon Island probably isn't inferior to Zhao Zheng's."

"They might also know where the Fire Spirit Pearl will appear. Cooperating with Zhao Zheng would be tantamount to handing over the Fire Spirit Pearl..."

As he was thinking this, Hua Zhuo's group also declined the matter after some deliberation.

Only Yang Ling and Xu Qingnian, the two Sixth-Rank experts, remained in the cabin.

Xu Qingnian felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and said sheepishly:

"Fourth Prince, I'll do whatever you say."

"Qingnian, take these five Flame-Averting Pills first."

Zhao Zheng handed five Flame-Averting Pills to Xu Qingnian.

Xu Qingnian was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected that Qin Kunlun and the others' refusal would actually benefit him instead.

Zhao Zheng then also gave Yang Ling five Flame-Averting Pills.

Yang Ling was overjoyed inside.

Seven pills in total. Now his margin for error after landing on the island was even higher.

"We're all our own people here, so I won't mince words. Your father has already told you about my matter?"

Zhao Zheng changed his form of address, his tone gaining a hint of authority befitting a superior.

Xu Qingnian didn't hesitate, clasping his fists in salute:

"This subordinate pays respects to Prince Pingrong!"

Yang Ling glanced at Xu Qingnian. So this fellow had already known Zhao Zheng had obtained the title of Prince Pingrong.

Connecting this with what Zhao Zheng had said earlier, he suspected that Xu Wenjun might have a rather deep relationship with Zhao Zheng.

"This trip to Fire Flood Dragon Island, I am determined to obtain the Fire Spirit Pearl above."

"But many people will guess what I intend to do and will inevitably try to obstruct me."

"Yingying has always had a good relationship with me since childhood, but after all, she is the daughter of Prince Pinglan, and Prince Pinglan has a close connection with the Divine Sect."

"The fact that she refused this time despite knowing I am already Prince Pingrong was not her wish."

Zhao Zheng's expression turned somewhat serious.

Yang Ling's expression shifted. He read a certain implication from these words.

It wasn't just the four first-rate sects that had their own calculations.

The three rulers of the Princely Capitals might also have their own purposes.

If one added the Rong tribe and the possibly existing overseas sects...

This trip to Fire Flood Dragon Island would be even more chaotic than he had imagined.

"Now, let me share my plan."

Zhao Zheng smiled. "Many people don't know this, but there actually exists a sect ruin on Fire Flood Dragon Island."

Xu Qingnian was slightly startled. There had once been a sect on Fire Flood Dragon Island?

Yang Ling was also somewhat taken aback. He had always thought Fire Flood Dragon Island was a place like Water Qilin Cave - a land overrun by mystical beasts with no human presence.

"To reach that sect ruin, one must pass through areas of blazing fire. Without taking several Flame-Averting Pills simultaneously, it's simply unreachable."

"Along the way, you'll also encounter numerous mystical beasts of considerable strength. Sixth-Rank ones are common, and Fifth-Rank mystical beasts might even appear!"

"But this sect - there's a high probability it was once ranked among the first-rate!"

A sharp gleam flashed in Zhao Zheng's eyes:

"You all know how terrifying the foundations of a first-rate sect are. If we can truly reach that place, forget the Fire Spirit Pearl - even Top-Tier Internal Techniques and First-Class Martial Arts Techniques could be within our grasp."

"Hiss -"

Xu Qingnian gasped sharply, his heart pounding uncontrollably with excitement.

Standing beside Xu Wuji, Zhang Wei's breathing also grew rapid upon hearing these words.

The thought that he didn't even qualify to set foot on the island made him feel suffocated and deeply pained.

Yang Ling instinctively asked, "Prince, what is the name of this sect?"

"Crimson Flame Fire Flood Dragon Sect."

Zhao Zheng said slowly.

Crimson Flame Fire Flood Dragon Sect?

Everyone present instinctively repeated the name a few times in their minds.

"There are many routes to the Crimson Flame Fire Flood Dragon Sect, but most are dead ends. Taking those paths means facing almost certain death."

"I know one route where the danger is somewhat lower, but we'll still encounter at least three or more Fifth-Rank mystical beasts."

"So we'll need to work together to successfully reach the Crimson Flame Fire Flood Dragon Sect."

Zhao Zheng said.
