The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 998: Huo Huang

Chapter 998: Huo Huang

As soon as Su Jingzhen made this promise, the hearts of the Divine Dan Sect members were once again stirred.

Their eyes shone with excitement.

None of them doubted the sincerity of Su Jingzhen's words.

Even though the promise had yet to be fulfilled, all the fifty-plus members of the Divine Dan Sect without exception clenched their fists and bowed to Su Jingzhen in advance, expressing their gratitude.

At this moment, Ning Yao pouted at Su Jingzhen and said, "Teacher, we've followed you all the way from the Elven Forest to here, and you haven't given us any rewards yet."

In the current situation, perhaps only Ning Yao, Su Jingzhen's former disciple, dared to speak so directly.

Su Jingzhen instinctively reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Of course, everyone will get something. After the Divine Shepherd Realm expedition, I'll give each of you a unique opportunity that best suits you!"

Su Jingzhen's tone was full of confidence.

As long as Little Green could successfully merge with the Star River Ancient Tree, the rewards he could obtain from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss would become even more abundant.

Giving Ning Yao and the others some benefits would be no problem at all.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the group approached the fiery mountain.

At this point, the air itself seemed to warp and distort under the intense heat.

Many in the group had already activated their defenses to withstand the relentless waves of heat.

"This seems to be the entrance to the Fire Element Secret Realm. Why is it so scorching hot? I feel like I can barely move forward. It seems like I'm holding everyone back."

Shangguan Tiantong, who stood behind Su Jingzhen, let out a bitter laugh.

Among the group, his cultivation level and overall combat strength were undoubtedly the weakest, and he was the first to struggle under the heat.

Beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead, and even though he had taken out a couple of defensive treasures, he was still having a hard time.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen waved his hand, and a strand of Flesh and Blood Fire enveloped Shangguan Tiantong, shielding him from the invasive heat.

Su Jingzhen's Flesh and Blood Fire was now considered to be one of the highest level flames in the cultivation world.

Ordinary heat waves were instantly absorbed upon contact, posing no threat to those it protected.

The group continued to move forward. Although they were extremely vigilant, they did not encounter any ambushes along the way.

Aside from Shangguan Tiantong, the others were able to handle the heat waves in the air with ease.

Eventually, they reached the top of the volcano that was constantly spewing magma. There, they finally saw other cultivators.

On the summit, there was a group of about forty people, all of them dressed in similar red clothes that were bright and intense like flames.

At the forefront was a tall figure with striking red hair wearing a red dress.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, with a small flame mark on her forehead - a fiery and passionate beauty.

Seeing this group, Su Jingzhen and the others became serious.

They could clearly sense that every one of these forty individuals had a cultivation level of at least late-stage Spirit Immortal, and more than fifteen of them had reached the Mystic Immortal Realm.

Their overall strength surpassed that of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect.

Under normal circumstances, if the Divine Dan Sect were to clash with such a group, they would be utterly crushed.

However, as Su Jingzhen and the others remained on guard, they didn't sense any hostility from the group in front of them.

"Junior Brother Su, look at the emblems on their chests. This group must be from Fire God Mountain, a powerful force in the Emperor's Realm!

Their ranking in the Emperor Realm is significantly higher than that of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect."

Shangguan Tiantong spoke gravely to Su Jingzhen, sharing what little he knew about Fire God Mountain.

As soon as his words fell, Shengana, Jian Ling, and others stepped forward, standing by Su Jingzhen's side.

Jian Ling's sword was already drawn, ready for battle at any moment.

"Young master, I don't sense any hostility from them. Perhaps they're not here to fight," Shengana cautiously transmitted her thoughts to Su Jingzhen.

At the same time, Bai Suzhen, who had been resting on Su Jingzhen's shoulder, gently closed her eyes.

She seemed to have sensed the situation as well, realizing that she might not have a role to play this time.

While the Divine Dan Sect was speculating, the woman leading the Fire God Mountain group smiled beautifully and took a few steps toward Su Jingzhen and his team.

"You must be the Divine Dan Sect members who just came from the Wood Element Secret Realm.

To annihilate the entire team of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect, the Divine Dan Sect has truly opened the eyes of us Emperor Realm cultivators."

She paused for a moment before continuing with a smile, "By the way, let me introduce myself. I'm Huo Huang from Emperor Realm Fire God Mountain, and I'm the leader of this expedition."

As she spoke, Huo Huang's tone was modest, but her gaze remained fixed on Su Jingzhen as if she were extremely interested in him.

Su Jingzhen and the others frowned again.

Something unusual was definitely going on.

Logically, since Fire God Mountain was also a fire-based force, their friendly demeanor was suspicious.

Su Jingzhen found it hard to believe that there wasn't some ulterior motive.

"Miss Huo Huang, I prefer to speak directly. If there's something on your mind, please don't hesitate to say it," Su Jingzhen said after a moment of thought.

Between two unrelated teams, and even potential competitors, it was better to be straightforward.

Huo Huang was taken aback for a moment, seemingly surprised by Su Jingzhen's directness. But then she relaxed, her smile growing even brighter.

"Hahaha, to be honest, I like your directness, Fellow Daoist Su. I was just wondering how to bring this up with you."

As she spoke, Huo Huang's demeanor shifted again, becoming more open and bold, exuding a sense of unrestrained energy.

This sudden change took Su Jingzhen and the others by surprise.

Before they could ask further, Huo Huang looked at Su Jingzhen with anticipation and asked directly, "Before we get to the main topic, could you show me the flame you control?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the forty or so members of Fire God Mountain all looked at Su Jingzhen with eager anticipation.

Su Jingzhen was momentarily stunned, but he didn't hesitate.

He nodded and instantly conjured a crimson gold flame in his hand, taking on the appearance of the Luminous Crimson Gold Flame.

"Is that the Luminous Crimson Gold Flame?"

"No, if it were just the Luminous Crimson Gold Flame, it wouldn't have such a powerful and sacred aura.

It must be something else disguised as the Luminous Crimson Gold Flame. Its core is definitely not that simple."

"It's incredibly powerful. Even though it's just a wisp, I can already sense the terror within its core. This is one of the most terrifying flames I've ever seen."

"..."

As Su Jingzhen manifested the Flesh and Blood Flame, the disciples of Fire God Mountain sensed it and were visibly shocked.

After taking a deep breath, Huo Huang's smile became even brighter.
