The boss of the underworld is a wife-loving maniac

As we went deeper into the desert, the sand on the ground turned red, like red-hot iron, making a sizzling sound, and from time to time, flames appeared out of nowhere, catching us off guard.

The flame was so powerful that even Old Man Ye had to use his spiritual energy to protect himself from being burned.

"What kind of war was this? After so long, there is still such a terrifying amount of fire energy left."

Old Man Ye couldn't believe all this. He was now a Chaos Body at the peak of the Saint Realm, and this residual flame could actually burn him. He suspected that this might be the place where a great battle between Emperor Realm powerhouses took place.

"I don't know either. We are getting closer and closer to the traces of the sacred fire. Once we trace it back to the source, we will know."

Lin Chen was surrounded by Old Man Ye's immortal aura, and said lightly that he could already feel a very powerful fire energy in the distance, which should be the deepest part of the desert, and the answer was there.

"Let's hurry up, I really don't want to stay here anymore."

Old Man Ye wiped the sweat off his forehead and wanted to fan himself with a fan, but the fan started to burn as soon as he took it out.

He quickly threw the fan on the ground and watched it burn to ashes, feeling very reluctant.

"I quite like that fan. It feels really good to fan myself."

"It's just a fan sold on the street. I'll buy you one when I get back."

Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that Old Man Ye would be so reluctant to give up a fan. It was really beyond his expectation. With their identities and strengths, shouldn't they have as many fans as they want?

However, Old Man Ye sighed with some sadness, put his hands behind his back and sighed.

"I'm used to it along the way. I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to a different one."

"You are the only one who has too many things to do. Hurry up and leave."

Lin Chen's face turned dark and he quickened his pace. When Old Man Ye saw that Lin Chen had left, he didn't dare to be sad anymore and hurriedly caught up.

Time flies, and the journey is neither fast nor slow. Another month passed, and Lin Chen finally arrived at the edge of a big pit.

"We're probably getting there."

He looked at the huge pit that was tens of thousands of miles in radius and said to Old Man Ye beside him.

"Great, let's go and see what treasures are inside and see if they are worth our efforts these days."

Old Man Ye said excitedly as he walked towards the bottom of the pit.

Seeing this, Lin Chen did not stop him and followed him. After these days of travel, he was indeed a little impatient.

Tens of thousands of miles away is but a blink of an eye for the strong. The figures of Old Man Ye and Lin Chen kept flashing. Every time they disappeared, they would appear thousands of miles away.

Lin Chen could already vaguely see a golden-red light blooming in the distance. The old man Ye in front of him rose again and flew towards the golden-red light.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom!"

Flames suddenly erupted from the ground, forming nine pillars of fire that appeared not far in front of Old Man Ye. The scorching breath they emitted distorted the void, and contained an extremely terrifying power of laws.

"Grass!"

Old Man Ye cried out in surprise. He quickly stopped in mid-air and did not crash headfirst into the pillars of fire. Lin Chen, who was following behind him, also stopped and looked at the nine pillars of fire that were rising into the sky with a serious expression.

Although these flames are not divine fire, they contain extremely powerful and scorching temperatures, which are even more terrifying than divine fire.

"What's going on, kid, do you have any idea?"

Old Man Ye took a few steps back, looking at the giant pillar of fire several feet away, and patted his chest with lingering fear. Although he was very strong, if he was contaminated by this fire, he would probably have difficult-to-heal wounds on his body, and he didn't want that to happen.

"It's the mechanism that guards the treasure."

Lin Chen said calmly. He had regained his composure now. He approached the pillar of fire and tried to study its secrets, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Not only did he gain nothing, but the pillar of fire also burst out with an even hotter temperature, shattering the void. The power of the void was burned out before it could even emerge.

"Is this really a trap? Why do I feel like it's trying to force us to leave?"

Old Man Ye was even more afraid. He took a few steps back carefully to prevent the flames from touching him. He looked like a coward.

Lin Chen also took a few steps back. He frowned as he looked at the pillar of fire and decided that if the pillar of fire expanded again, they would leave without looking back. Nothing was more important than life.

"Rumble..."

The nine pillars of fire made a sound like a volcanic eruption, and the ground was shaking, as if countless cracks would appear in the next second. It was very shocking, and Lin Chen immediately planned to leave.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt the mark on his body move. It was the mark of the oath between him and Jiutun. Jiutun did things for him, and a trace of Jiutun's breath was left on his body.

"Om..."

A grey aura emerged from Lin Chen's body. If one sensed it carefully, this aura was exactly the same as the aura on Jiutun's body. The two were of the same origin and were the aura of Taotie.

The gray aura slowly moved towards the nine fire pillars. The moment it touched the nine fire pillars, the gray aura trembled slightly, and the nine fire pillars slowly dimmed, and flames no longer spewed out of the ground.

"This, is this the end?"

Old Man Ye widened his eyes and looked at Lin Chen in disbelief. He thought he had already thought Lin Chen was very powerful, but he didn't expect that Lin Chen was even more resourceful than he thought.

Lin Chen ignored the shocked Old Man Ye and looked at the gray aura floating in the air, letting it return to his body before speaking.

"It seems that this is an opportunity left by the Taotie who opened up the secret realm. I have the aura of Jiutun, so the pillar of fire disappeared."

"But since it's a Taotie, why does it guard the opportunity with fire instead of other attacks? As far as I know, Taotie can't control fire, right?"

Old Man Ye looked bewildered. From ancient times to the present, only the ancient beasts Dragon Bird and Golden Crow could control such flames. Isn't Taotie one of them?

"Why do you keep asking why? Why don't you just go and take a look?"

Lin Chen glanced at Old Man Ye indifferently, thinking that this guy was really annoying. He didn't bother him here instead of checking. It was really annoying.

He then turned into a long rainbow and headed towards the golden-red light in the distance. This time there was no obstacle. He easily came to the golden-red light and was able to see clearly what was wrapped in the light.

"What is this, a jade pendant?"

Old Man Ye who came later looked at Lin Chen holding a golden-red jade pendant in his hand and asked in confusion, "It's not some rare treasure, nor is it any martial arts technique, it's just a jade pendant?"

"The jade pendant is incomplete. I guess the scattered parts are somewhere else in the secret realm."

Lin Chen looked at the jade pendant in his hand. It seemed to be carved with a bird. However, because the jade pendant was incomplete, he could not tell what it was.

Old Man Ye came forward, looked at the flame carved on the jade pendant, and said uncertainly.

"It feels a bit like the Golden Crow. Could it be the Golden Crow?"

"The secret realm of Taotie, with a broken jade pendant engraved with the Golden Crow, this doesn't seem right no matter how you think about it."

Lin Chen murmured to himself. Before he could say anything, Old Man Ye had already denied it. He scratched his head and smiled.

"I'm just guessing. It does look a bit like the Golden Crow, but this is the secret realm of the Taotie. How could the opportunity be left by the Golden Crow? It's really a fantasy."

"Arabian Nights?"

Lin Chen looked at the warm jade pendant in his hand, thoughtfully.
