Lin Yitang said without hesitation, "Okay, let's go to these places: Crimson Flame Cave, Frost Valley, and Thunder Platform, right?"

Seeing that Lin Yitang was tempted, Senior Brother Si quickly advised, "These places are extremely dangerous, and only experts dare to go there. Although they are indeed rich in resources, you are just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If you go there rashly, you will probably suffer a great loss!"

Lin Yitang pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I want to go to these places. If there's no danger at all, how can I achieve the effect of training? Those ordinary caves, everything that could be looted has already been taken by predecessors. What could they possibly leave me?"

She stared intently at Senior Brother Si, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Now, take me to the Crimson Flame Cave immediately!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Yitang, Senior Brother Si had no choice but to say, "Alright, I'll take you there. But I'm telling you the truth, the Crimson Flame Cave is extremely dangerous, and you could lose your life if you're not careful."

Lin Yitang said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. But you, don't get any funny ideas. Although I'm only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, killing you would be a piece of cake for me."

Then she made Senior Brother Si swear that he would not betray her halfway. Senior Brother Si's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth, having no choice but to swear as Lin Yitang demanded.

He then became extremely dejected, as if he had aged more than ten years.

He'd been doing this kind of work for decades, and this was the first time he'd encountered something like this. He felt both frustrated and resentful. He'd originally planned to ambush him while he was leading the way, but this new disciple was too observant and didn't give him a chance at all.

The vow had invoked divine intervention, and Lin Yitang nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Very good, we can set off now."

She recalled Senior Brother Si's words and silently recalled the map of the cultivation world in her mind.

She remembered that there were indeed three places marked in this area: Crimson Flame Cave, Frost Valley, and Thunder Platform. However, whether these places were really as famous and rich as Senior Brother Si had said was unknown.

Maybe the only thing that's true is that it's dangerous.

After all, the cultivation world is teeming with hidden talents and powerful figures. Entering an ancient inheritance site like this would be difficult without sufficient strength and opportunity. Moreover, even if the inheritance truly exists, she might not be able to obtain it.

Even so, she still wanted to see for herself; if she encountered any life-threatening danger, she still had her secret weapon.

She instructed her senior brother Si to take her to the Crimson Flame Cave right now.

After Senior Brother Si agreed, he led Lin Yitang in a direction outside the city.

The road twists and turns, with people deliberately choosing secluded paths. Although these paths are difficult to navigate, they are well-hidden and can help avoid many dangers.

As Lin Yitang walked, she observed the route, comparing it with the map in her mind to confirm that Senior Brother Si was leading her in the right direction. Moreover, with a local guiding the way, their progress was much faster, and they avoided a lot of trouble.

The path that Senior Brother Ru Si led her along, though a bit roundabout, avoided most of the demon beasts' territories. She could sense that the spiritual energy fluctuations along this path were much weaker, clearly indicating that demon beasts rarely appeared.

In this way, the journey that would normally take disciples a long time to complete was only half the time they took. Furthermore, she set off early, and according to the schedule, she could reach her destination before dark.

After walking for about half an hour, Senior Brother Si suddenly stopped, his face changed drastically, and his expression as he looked ahead was filled with fear: "Oh no, the Skyfire Canyon is ahead, I dare not go in."

Lin Yitang frowned and asked, "Why don't you dare to go in?"

Senior Brother Si swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "The Heavenly Fire Canyon is the only way to the Crimson Flame Cave, but it is infested with a large number of fire-type demonic beasts and is extremely dangerous. With my strength, I dare not venture in."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cautiously suggested, "Why don't you go in alone, Senior Sister, and I'll wait for you outside? We can leave together when you come out."

Lin Yitang observed Senior Brother Si's timid and hesitant demeanor, secretly harboring suspicions.

She said calmly, "Since you're so afraid, then stay outside. But if you dare to take this opportunity to escape and break your oath, you know the consequences."

Senior Brother Si nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely not run away. I will wait for you to come out here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang ignored Senior Brother Si and strode into the Heavenly Fire Canyon.

She discovered that this seemingly ordinary forest was actually fraught with danger. A scorching smell filled the air, and burn marks were visible everywhere on the ground.

After Lin Yitang entered, Senior Brother Si revealed a strange smile.

He thought to himself, "As expected of a newly emerged disciple, she's so easy to fool. This silly woman actually thinks these places are some famous training grounds." In reality, he was just pointing them out randomly.

It turns out that the locations Brother Si mentioned were all dangerous places with little reward, places even dogs wouldn't go. Or places with an extremely high probability of death.

The reason he tricked Lin Yitang into coming here was to take the opportunity to kill her.

If Lin Yitang dies in these dangerous places, he can be free of it; once a person dies, the vow ceases to exist.

If there's even a one in ten thousand chance she survives and questions him about why she didn't have the opportunity, he can say it's because she didn't find the right place, didn't use the right method, or was just unlucky, etc.

Since they're new disciples, they're easy to fool no matter what.

"Fire-type demonic beasts roam freely in this Heavenly Fire Canyon. A cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage would be courting death if they went in. This trip of hers is probably a one-way trip." Senior Brother Si smiled sinisterly.

In reality, his claim that this place was famous was a lie to Lin Yitang. The Crimson Flame Cave was practically deserted, largely due to the presence of fire-type demonic beasts.

Because these fire-type demonic beasts are generally at least Tier 2, those in the early Foundation Establishment stage dare not come here, and those above the early Foundation Establishment stage look down on this place. Therefore, no one has cleared out the demonic beasts for years, and no one wants to come to this place for training. It's simply not worth the risk!

A fool like Lin Yitang, who knows nothing and just barges in, is probably one in ten years.

Watching Lin Yitang's figure disappear into the Skyfire Canyon, he felt secretly pleased, a disdainful smile appearing on his face, and a cruel curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The disciples who came before had all been burned to ashes by the flames of the Crimson Flame Cave, and Lin Yitang was no exception.

She deserved it! Who told her not to obediently let him sell her off? She had to court death. If she had listened, she might have lived longer.

He calculated Lin Yitang's strength and estimated that she wouldn't be able to survive long in the Crimson Flame Cave. He secretly decided to wait and see how long she could hold out. If she didn't emerge in three days, he would leave immediately. After all, staying in that hellish place for three days was simply impossible.

Thinking of Lin Yitang's impending demise in the flames, Senior Brother Si couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"Hmph, just wait and see. The flames of this Crimson Flame Cave will show you what despair is!" Senior Brother Si thought smugly, completely unaware that an unusual fluctuation was faintly emanating from the depths of the Heavenly Fire Canyon.
