The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

At the smooth, mirror-like stone gate, not a blade of grass grows.

The surrounding trees grow in a jagged, uneven manner.

After Bai Yuan rescued Hong Shan, he asked, "How did you end up here? I went to the cave to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Also, how did you end up with two humans?"

Bai Yuan was dressed in white, his clothes spotless, like a handsome young master from the mortal world.

Hongshan glared at her brother, "And you still dare to talk! You were captured when you left, and I was also captured by that person when I went to the capital. I only recently returned to the Pinglian Mountains. Was it really you who returned to the cave that day? Did you reveal the location of the cave to Lianyao?"

"We'll talk about it later! Your two human friends are in trouble, let's go rescue them."

Bai Yuan avoided answering and made an excuse to leave.

“Come back. You don’t need to worry about their strength. Even Lianyao is afraid of Cuiyin. Not just anyone can hurt her!” Hongshan grabbed Baiyuan’s ear and looked in the direction where Han Yueshi and Lianyao were. “You didn’t reveal anything, did you?”

"How could that be! I'm not stupid. That person thought he had me under control, but he doesn't know that our lineage is different from others. Our Flying Illusion Fox clan's greatest strength lies in illusion creation. That person is too arrogant, thinking he has me under control, but actually—"

"Brother, we'll talk about it later! This time we really have to go help."

Hongshan interrupted Bai Yuan, grabbed his sleeve, and rushed to Han Cuiyin and Luo Jingqian's side.

The fireball, which had been darting around in the forest, somehow ended up beside the two of them.

"Cuiyin, it seems we have no choice but to fight now!" Luo Jingqian shielded Han Cuiyin behind him. "These people are hostile, there's no need to hold back. If we can't defeat them, you hide in the Longevity Diagram, and we'll enter the Stone Gate."

“We might not necessarily lose!” Han Cuiyin stroked the little yellow ball. “These people probably don’t know that not everyone can withstand the True Fire of the Sun.”

Not all strange flames can be possessed simply by obtaining them.

In an instant, the two communicated telepathically and decided on a strategy.

The true fire of the sun lingered around the two of them, and the moment it drew near, Han Cuiyin felt a warm sensation throughout her soul.

Now that things have come to this, she is determined to obtain the True Fire of the Sun, as it is the most compatible strange fire for her.

Those who had been chasing the sun's true fire gradually approached the two of them.

“Sister Cuiyin, it seems this strange fire has taken a liking to you! If you subdue it, just give me a wisp, and I promise not to harm you. What do you say?” Han Yueshi glanced at the others, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Han Cuiyin ignored him; this man's sinister intentions were simply to get those people to join forces against her.

This person can't let go of the grudges from the previous generation, so don't blame her for disregarding family ties this time.

Luo Jingqian pulled Han Cuiyin behind him again, blocking her firmly.

The true fire of the sun then moved backward.

The fiery intensity in their eyes was enough to instill fear in anyone who saw them.

"These hypocrites! They always act like upright gentlemen, but when it comes to benefits, they run faster than dogs!" Hongshan cursed inwardly, pulling Bai Yuan along as they jumped into the encirclement without hesitation.

"Heh~ You really are in cahoots!" Lianyao recognized the original bald-tailed fox at a glance.

Not only did the fox not lose its life force, but it also activated the sealed demonic power within its body, further advancing its cultivation.

This fox has a secret!

Lian Yao kept his eyes fixed on the fox siblings, while he didn't care about Han Cuiyin.

It doesn't matter if she gets the True Fire of the Sun; in this world, it's difficult to unleash the true power of the True Fire of the Sun, so it poses no threat to him.

But the secrets of these two foxes are even more intriguing, as are the treasures they possess, which might allow him to break through the spatial constraints and return to the Realm of Immortality.

Thinking of this, Lianyao took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly moved a few steps to the left.

Han Yueshi kept a close eye on his movements; she moved whenever he moved.

This man is knowledgeable and experienced; following him is definitely the right thing to do.

Lianyao ignored Han Yueshi and let her follow.

Everyone was eyeing the Sunfire that they had surrounded.

Han Cuiyin was already prepared; as soon as these people made a move, the wooden fish would purify them immediately.

These people aren't so clean.

"Hurry up, let's work together to take down the True Fire of the Sun and then divide it again!" Mo Changdao said lazily and took the lead.

With him taking the lead, the others did not hesitate.

On the contrary, Xu Tianyun stepped back considerably.

"Ancestor, why don't we retreat instead of going up?" The Third Prince was also very envious of the True Fire of the Sun.

This True Fire of the Sun seems more precious than those elixirs. If I could obtain it and return to the capital, my mother would surely be pleased.

"Don't even think about getting the True Fire of the Sun! This fire is extremely dangerous. Legend has it that only those who have accumulated great merit can obtain it, otherwise they will be burned to ashes."

Xu Tianyun offered some words of advice from the side.

He won't exert any effort to seize the True Fire of the Sun.

He has done good deeds in his life, and sometimes he has unintentionally done evil. If he were all alone, he would naturally fight for it.

Now that he has a wife and children, he doesn't need to risk his life for these material possessions anymore.

The third prince, who had initially been eager to try, had now lost all interest in competing.

Even the patriarch isn't going; if he goes, he'll just be cannon fodder.

"Ancestor, shall we turn back the way we came?"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out anytime soon! This space is sealed off. Perhaps we can only leave when the True Fire of the Sun finds a master."

Xu Tianyun looked up at the sky and sighed, "Let's hide first and stay out of trouble to save our lives."

The third prince had no choice but to give up and obediently follow Xu Tianyun to find a secluded place to stay.

Lin Chang and Lu Yong only glanced at their backs and said nothing.

As for what they are really thinking, only they themselves know.

As Mo Changdao made the first move, the rest of the group followed suit.

With these people working together, Luo Jingqian's folding fan opened and closed, allowing him to attack from both near and far with ease.

Han Cuiyin and the fox siblings did not have a chance to make a move for the time being.

"Lord Jingyun, you'd better step aside! Otherwise, once we get out, we'll definitely report this to the Emperor. How dare you possess the True Fire of the Sun? It naturally belongs to the Emperor. Everything on the territory of the Great Ye Dynasty belongs to the Emperor!"

Lin Chang spoke first, trying to intimidate others with his power.

Unfortunately, Luo Jingqian completely ignored him and became even more ruthless.

Lu Yong and Han Yueshi were the first to be kicked away by him.

The two were kicked away, and coincidentally, the direction they were sent flying was right at the stone gate.

Lin Chang reacted quickly and wasn't kicked to the other side.

"This person is really..." Han Cuiyin already knew the reason and smiled.

"This person is incredibly powerful!" Bai Yuan and Hong Shan stood back-to-back, fending off the enemy together. "He single-handedly held off so many experts; I wonder what his cultivation level is. He's even more powerful than my parents were back then!"

Just then, a cloud of black mist appeared three inches away from Luo Jingqian, and thousands of black dots surrounded Han Cuiyin.

The true fire of the sun instantly rushed towards the two of them.
