"We need to keep up!"
To avoid being discovered, the two of them simply followed from a distance.
Along the way, Feng Ruoqin provided Ye Fei with all the information about the group they had encountered earlier.
"Ye Fei, the man in the black brocade robe you saw earlier is the long-standing rival of my Feng family!"
"Our two families have always had a strained relationship, and both families have achieved success in refining artifacts."
"If they discover me, they will definitely not let me go!"
Currently, Feng Ruoqin only had herself and Ye Fei, while she had carefully counted the other party, there were as many as six people.
Moreover, the elder known as Uncle Liu had a cultivation base that reached the mid-stage of Xuan Yuan First Layer.
The remaining four guards also had considerable cultivation bases, mostly at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.
If the two of them were to confront them head-on, they would likely not fare well.
This was precisely why Feng Ruoqin was so worried.
"Don't worry, we'll act according to the circumstances when the time comes!"
"If there's no other way, then we'll have to choose to give up!"
"Rest assured, I understand that a treasure is not as important as one's own life."
"If you're afraid of being discovered, then disguise yourself!"
Ye Fei suggested.
Feng Ruoqin finally felt a little more at ease.
The two then disguised themselves separately.
It was likely that no one would be able to recognize them now.
"Let's keep following!"
Ye Fei glanced at the team that had lost track and said urgently.
Fortunately, the two of them had a significant advantage in movement techniques, so in less than fifteen minutes, they saw the team again.
As they got closer to the location where the treasure was about to appear, the number of cultivators also increased.
The once peaceful Ten Thousand Flames Valley was also disturbed from its tranquil atmosphere and became lively.
Even the roars of the demonic beasts were much louder than usual.
The two of them encountered many rogue cultivators along the way.
Many invited them to join their teams.
Of course, Ye Fei knew his place; he was clearly the one being brought along, and they were truly interested in the woman whose cultivation was much higher than his.
However, in the end, both of them rejected all invitations and chose to continue on their own.
"Ye Fei, I think it's not far. Look, there are so many people ahead that we can't even find a place to stand!"
Feng Ruoqin's voice had even changed.
"That's right, let's rest here for a while."
They had both traveled almost non-stop that day, so their internal Yuan power had been largely depleted.
Taking this opportunity, they had to rest well and recover their internal Yuan power.
To prepare for the potential battle ahead.
"Look!"
This shout caused Ye Fei and the two who were recovering their Yuan power to look over.
They saw that from a round cave entrance not far away, scarlet flames suddenly erupted!
Boom, boom, boom.
The surging flames directly illuminated the night sky, like the sun in the sky.
"So hot!"
"How could this happen!"
"I can't stand it!"
Many cultivators around couldn't help but cry out.
It was simply too hot!
Even Ye Fei found it difficult to bear now!
However, it was still within an acceptable range.
Moreover, they were still quite a distance from the cave entrance.
"I can't take it anymore. It seems I can't afford this treasure. I don't want to lose my life here!"
"I'd better leave quickly!"
"Me too, me too!"
"We insignificant folks shouldn't go to our deaths!"
The treasure hadn't even come out yet, but the temperature of the flames was already unbearable.
If the Chi Xiao Sword truly came out, would these people still have a chance to live?
Go!
Leave quickly!
This was the only thought in the minds of many cultivators.
Suddenly, the previously crowded area where it was impossible to find a foothold became much emptier.
Although many who valued their lives had already left, people die for wealth, and birds die for food!
This is an eternal truth.
With the great treasure about to emerge, they had to persevere until the end!
It would be a pity to give up halfway.
As time passed, Ye Fei and the two saw that they had endured for an hour.
Their distance had also moved forward slightly.
Compared to the initial number of people, the number had decreased again.
Only less than one-third remained.
"Can you still hold on?"
Although the temperature was high, Ye Fei had tentatively used his Yuan power to guide the fire elements in the air to temper his meridians!
It had to be said that the effect was indeed good!
However, he didn't dare to continue, as it would be troublesome if something went wrong.
"Of course!"
Feng Ruoqin was naturally stubborn and had a very resilient disposition.
Seeing that she wasn't forcing herself, Ye Fei was relieved.
However, after a while, the temperature of the large cave entrance suddenly increased again!
The flames surged upwards once more, transforming into fire dragons that swirled fiercely around the cave entrance.
"Prepare!"
"The treasure is about to come out!"
Ye Fei immediately prepared himself and said seriously.
The team that Ye Fei and the others had encountered earlier was also ready, waiting for the moment the treasure appeared to snatch it into their possession.
As the flames gushing from the large cave entrance grew more intense, with a sharp cry, the cave entrance suddenly erupted with a burst of intense and dazzling light!
The light almost made people's eyes water.
It was too bright!
Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.
When the light receded, a treasure sword, crimson in color and radiating a fierce aura, was suspended in the center of the cave entrance!
"Is this the legendary Chi Xiao Sword?"
"It's too beautiful!"
"If I could obtain this sword, I would be content!"
"What are you dreaming about?"
"It's not your turn!"
"It's better for us to play it safe!"
Discussions reached Ye Fei's ears from the side.
"Let's two continue forward!"
Ye Fei whispered.
Feng Ruoqin had the same intention.
This Chi Xiao Sword was exactly what Ye Fei desired!
No matter what, he was determined to contend for it!
Moreover, the Chi Xiao Sword was clearly encased in a formation, and if this formation couldn't be broken, it would all be in vain.
The most troublesome aspect was that the temperature of the large cave entrance was still too high!
Based on Ye Fei's experience, the temperature of the flames was significantly higher than that of the ten-thousand-meter deep pit where the Thousand-Year Fire Spirit Beast resided.
Even the fire-repelling beads would not last for more than a short period of time.
However, for Ye Fei, this was enough.
Now, he was just waiting for the formation to break the treasure-protecting grand formation, at which point he would take the treasure, the Chi Xiao Sword.
