"No, the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change is the highest secret technique of our Burning Flame Valley, we must be cautious about this matter."
Tang Zhen shook his head, rejecting the Second Elder's suggestion.
"Alright then."
Seeing Tang Zhen so insistent, the Second Elder cupped his hands and his figure immediately disappeared from the spot.
"Brat Lin, do you have the confidence to pass Burning Flame Valley's test?"
On the other side, as they walked along the path back to the guest quarters, Tian Huo Zun Zhe suddenly asked.
"Elder Yao, don't you know me by now? Unless Burning Flame Valley completely throws away their dignity, with my strength, I'll definitely pass."
Lin Feng smiled confidently as he replied.
"That's true."
Tian Huo Zun Zhe nodded, then chuckled, "With your fighting power, unless Burning Flame Valley really sets its mind on making sure you fail to get the complete Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, basically no one can stop you."
After speaking, his thoughts drifted toward Burning Flame Valley's inherited Heavenly Flame—the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
After a brief pause, he teased, "How about this, brat, why don't you just marry into Burning Flame Valley? I see Tang Zhen's daughter is quite a beauty. This way, not only do you get a beautiful wife, but you might even end up with the twelfth-ranked flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking for free. You know that Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is ranked two spots higher than my Fallen Heart Flame was."
"Whoosh!"
Before Lin Feng could even respond, the delicate figure beside him—Xiao Yixian—suddenly released a dense purple-brown mist.
Her pitch-black eyes instantly turned purple-brown, and she coldly locked her gaze on Tian Huo Zun Zhe. Threads of killing intent quietly spread throughout the surrounding world.
"Heh, heh… I was just joking, only trying to lighten the mood, that's all, lighten the mood…"
Seeing her expression, Tian Huo Zun Zhe instantly broke into a cold sweat the size of soybeans down his back, forcing out an awkward laugh.
"You two husband and wife talk slowly, I suddenly remembered I haven't cultivated today. I'll be going back to my room first."
With that, he quickly slipped away, fleeing as if some terrifying enemy was chasing him.
"Xian'er, don't bother with that old man, let's go."
Seeing the murderous intent radiating from Xiao Yixian, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward, gently taking her soft hand.
Hearing him, Xiao Yixian withdrew her aura, but her beautiful eyes still eyed him suspiciously as she said, "You're not… thinking what that old man said, are you?"
As she spoke, her other delicate hand clenched tightly, clearly ready to kill him instantly if he dared say yes.
"Hehe, how could I? I have absolutely no interest in Tang Huo'er. Let's go."
As he spoke, Lin Feng pulled her along toward their guest room.
"I'm telling you, Tang Zhen is an extremely shrewd man. His daughter Tang Huo'er will definitely be the same. If you bring her home, you'll never have a peaceful day."
Xiao Yixian was still a little uneasy, so she kept filling Lin Feng's ears with the idea that Tang Zhen was a scheming old fox, and Tang Huo'er, being his daughter, would naturally be the same. As for Lin Feng, he could only nod in agreement again and again.
After all, at this moment, if he dared to say even one good thing about Tang Huo'er, Xiao Yixian would absolutely blow up. And then, he really wouldn't have a peaceful life. Of course, in his heart, he had indeed considered the idea for a moment earlier.
But after some thought, he gave it up. Because even if he did marry Tang Huo'er, Tang Zhen would never remove the blood soul imprint from the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
Without erasing that imprint, there would be no way to forcefully strip out the Heavenly Flame and let him absorb it.
After all, once the Heavenly Flame was forcefully stripped away, Tang Zhen's strength would at least be reduced by half. And after that, if he wanted to rise again, it would be nearly impossible.
In Tang Zhen's eyes, Burning Flame Valley paying such a terrible price just to let his cultivation technique rise a single grade—any reasonable person would never agree to such a thing.
Most likely, Tang Zhen would rather hand over a Heaven Class fire attribute cultivation technique for him to practice than agree to forcefully strip away his Heavenly Flame.
After all, in the eyes of someone who didn't know that the Flame Mantra was connected to the inheritance of the Tuo She Ancient God, only a fool would strip away their own Heavenly Flame just to raise a technique to possibly heaven rank.
As for telling Tang Zhen and the others about the connection between the Flame Mantra and the Ancient Emperor's inheritance?
Heh, Lin Feng didn't dare to take such a huge risk. After all, he didn't know whether Tang Zhen, upon learning the truth, would become blinded by greed.
He might directly seize his cultivation technique, then forcefully strip away the many Heavenly Flames inside him.
Afterward, he could have his daughter Tang Huo'er switch to cultivating the Flame Mantra. She could then absorb the many Heavenly Flames and the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame that had been stolen from him and later claim the Ancient Emperor's inheritance for herself.
As for him, Xiao Yixian, and Tian Huo Zun Zhe, the three of them. They might simply be left here forever by Ancestor Huo Yun, a one-star Dou Sheng.
Although that Ancestor Huo Yun was injured and could not exert the full power of a Dou Sheng, when it came to dealing with the three of them, even an injured Dou Sheng…
One slap would still be more than enough to completely end them, who only had the strength of Dou Zun. And in the face of the temptation of becoming an Emperor, Lin Feng felt that the chance of this happening was very high.
After all, on this Dou Qi Continent, no Dou Di had appeared in tens of thousands of years.
In this era where Dou Shengs reigned at the peak, whoever could break through the shackles and become a Dou Di, would not only benefit their descendants for tens of thousands of years but would also become the true ruler of this continent.
With such temptation, there was nothing Burning Flame Valley might not do. Therefore, Lin Feng still had to be extremely careful with this matter.
"Forget it, later on, I'll bring Zi Yan to find the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit in the ruins of the Saint Zhao Hua, then take that opportunity to request the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to make a trip to Burning Flame Valley and trade for the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame."
Lin Feng furrowed his brows, muttering in his heart.
Although he had done the Ancient Void Dragon Clan a favor before, they had also let Zi Yan bring him a Yin-Yang Twin Flame and the Void Sky Suppressing Seal, which was comparable to Heaven Class.
If he shamelessly asked them right now to go to Burning Flame Valley for the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, it would most likely cause the impression of him within the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to take a huge hit, affecting his future plans.
Therefore, he could only wait until later to repay the Ancient Void Dragons with another great favor. Then he could strike while the iron was hot and request the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to take a trip to Burning Flame Valley.
He believed that by then, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan would be very willing.
A few days later, under the guidance of a Burning Flame Valley maid, Lin Feng once again arrived outside that grand and imposing great hall.
After the maid's announcement, he smoothly entered the hall. However, at this moment, the atmosphere inside the hall was rather oppressive.
All around the great hall, there were quite a few fully armed Burning Flame Valley disciples. This made the atmosphere inside the great hall even heavier and more solemn.
