Lu Lingxi, Feng Qingxue, and Bai Ze exchanged a glance, then flashed into the portal of light. In the blink of an eye, the light flickered, the scene changed, and they reappeared in the Dark Shadow Valley.

Looking around, everything here was so familiar. Steep cliffs soared into the clouds, thick miasma filled the valley, and occasionally, a few chilling roars of beasts could be heard. Seeing these familiar scenes, they knew that they had indeed left that dangerous paradise.

"Yaoyao, what are your plans for the future?" Feng Qingxue asked.

Lu Lingxi thought for a moment, "Let's find a safe place first so that Bai Ze can heal properly."

Feng Qingxue nodded in agreement, "Mm."

The three found a secluded cave and settled down temporarily. Feng Qingxue set up a barrier to prevent outsiders from disturbing them, while Lu Lingxi took good care of Bai Ze and healed his injuries.

A few days later, Bai Ze's injuries had healed considerably. Seeing that Bai Ze was almost fully recovered, Feng Qingxue asked, "Yaoyao, where are we going next?"

Lu Lingxi pondered for a moment, "I want to go to Sunset Valley."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze frowned slightly. "Luoxia Valley? That's the territory of the Blood Demon Sect, extremely dangerous."

Lu Lingxi was naturally aware of the dangers of Luoxia Valley, but she had other plans in mind. "I know it's dangerous there, but there's a spiritual herb there called 'Crimson Flame Spirit Mushroom,' and I need it!"

Lu Lingxi didn't tell them that she went to find the 'Crimson Flame Lingzhi' to help Nalan Rongzhi refine an antidote. In her spare time, she would look through the medical books left in the Kunlun Ring. It was in these books that she discovered detailed records about the medicinal effects of the 'Crimson Flame Lingzhi' and its place of growth.

For Ling Xiyao, it was all the same as training anyway, so it didn't matter where she went. That's why she decided to go to Luoxia Valley.

Looking at Lu Lingxi's determined eyes, Bai Ze sighed helplessly, "Since you've made up your mind, I'll go with you. More people means more support."

Lu Lingxi felt a warmth in her heart and nodded. After the three of them discussed it, they left the cave and headed towards Luoxia Valley.

Throughout the journey, Feng Qingxue remained highly vigilant, constantly paying attention to her surroundings. Golden flames flickered between her slender fingers, as if ready to erupt at any moment.

As its name suggests, Luoxia Valley is shrouded in a crimson glow year-round, resembling a burning sea of ​​fire from afar. The valley has a complex terrain with jagged rocks, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood, sending chills down one's spine.

"Be careful, there are Blood Demon Sect spies everywhere here," Feng Qingxue warned in a low voice, her voice tinged with seriousness.

Lu Lingxi nodded, slowed her pace, and carefully observed her surroundings. Bai Ze followed closely behind Lu Lingxi, watching everything around him warily.

The three of them walked along the rugged mountain path for about an hour, and finally came to the front of a hidden cave. The entrance to the cave was covered by dense vines, and it would be difficult to find without careful observation.

“The Crimson Flame Ganoderma should be deep inside this cave,” Lu Lingxi said, her tone tinged with excitement.

Feng Qingxue frowned. "Wait, I sense a powerful aura."

She reached out her hand, feeling the energy flowing in the air. "There are probably powerful spirit beasts guarding this cave."

"A spirit beast?" Lu Lingxi's heart tightened, but thinking of the poison on Nalan Rongzhi's body, she gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, I must get the Crimson Flame Spirit Mushroom!"

Knowing Lu Lingxi's determination, Feng Qingxue stopped trying to dissuade her and instead became even more vigilant in observing the surroundings.

The three of them carefully entered the cave. It was pitch black inside, so dark that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces. Feng Qingxue lit a golden flame at her fingertips, illuminating the path ahead.

As the three ventured deeper, the powerful aura grew stronger, filling the air with a suffocating sense of oppression. Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from the depths of the cave, causing the ground to tremble.

"Not good, it's a Blood Demon Wolf!" Feng Qingxue's expression changed as she recognized the spirit beast. The Blood Demon Wolf was a ferocious spirit beast, known for its bloodlust and immense strength. Even though she had obtained the Phoenix inheritance and possessed the aura of a divine beast, she dared not underestimate it.

Before the words were finished, a gigantic blood wolf burst out of the darkness. Its body was engulfed in raging black flames, its eyes were crimson and radiated a bloodthirsty light. It opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and pounced on the three of them.

Feng Qingxue reacted quickly, flashing to block Lu Lingxi and Bai Ze. She formed hand seals, and golden flames blazed on her body, transforming into a giant fire phoenix that clashed fiercely with the Blood Demon Wolf.

Sparks flew everywhere inside the cave, and a deafening roar echoed continuously. The enormous impact sent Lu Lingxi and Bai Ze flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Lingxi clutched her chest and coughed violently, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Bai Ze was in no better shape; his injuries had just begun to heal, and now he had suffered another severe blow, his face turning as pale as paper, his breath coming in gasps.

"Yaoyao, run! I'll hold it off!" Feng Qingxue's voice came from the flames, tinged with anxiety.

Lu Lingxi struggled to stand up, but found herself completely powerless and unable to move. She watched helplessly as Feng Qingxue fought fiercely against the Blood Demon Wolf, her heart filled with worry.

Just then, a chilling, eerie voice, like a ghost, drifted from the depths of the bottomless cave: "Hehehe... Someone actually dares to trespass on my territory! They're really asking for trouble and don't know what's good for them!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure shrouded in black mist emerged slowly from the endless darkness like a ghost. He was tall and his face was obscured, but one could feel the suffocating pressure emanating from him.

What is most eye-catching is the longsword he is holding tightly in his right hand, which is shimmering with an eerie dark green light. The blade faintly exudes a chilling demonic aura, and just one glance is enough to feel the terrifying power and endless killing intent contained within it.
