Wanbao Lady

Chapter 285 Strange Fire

As the swift grass was chewed into pieces and entered the stomach, the red light on Yuan's left chest gradually faded, and the skin and flesh that had been burned black began to grow granulations again.

"Cough cough cough."

Yuan Zuo took a few deep breaths, feeling the coolness gradually rising in his internal organs, and then he felt like he was alive again.

"Okay, okay, it's okay." Doctor Tu said with a smile.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

Wu Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately afterwards he was filled with deep doubts.

This disciple of Yudu Mountain named Qu Chong was obviously a wood-type alchemy practitioner, so why did he suddenly burst out with powerful fire abilities in the end?

As a result, his speed, strength and other abilities have been greatly improved, which is really puzzling.

Could it be that he has been hiding his incompetence all along?

Moreover, because he had used his own magic power to come into contact with the remaining power of the strange fire, he felt it the most deeply among the people present, except Yuan Zuo.

The aura above... always feels a little strange... seems a little ominous...

He secretly glanced at the Lord of Jade Crossing, only to see him looking his alchemy disciple up and down, and finally relaxed when he saw that he was not seriously injured.

As if she sensed his secret gaze, the lady turned and looked at him. There was nothing in her eyes, but she made him feel a sense of pressure.

This forced him to swallow his doubts temporarily.

Although the people from the Palace of Brightness had also investigated Yuan Zuo's injuries and guessed that they were caused by the strange fire, the energy of the strange fire was completely enveloped by Wu Jiang's magic power and not a trace of breath was leaked out, so they did not find anything unusual.

He was just very angry about Qu Chong using fire to injure people.

"You, kid, hid your trump card until the end, and attacked my disciple when he was relaxed... Humph, you really have a deep mind! You almost killed my disciple!"

Li Chong turned to look at Chong Fan, and said with a fake smile: "I've often heard that the queen is a person of high moral character. Is this how you educate your disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Chong immediately stood up and said angrily: "He was the first to insult my sect! I was so angry... I didn't mean to hurt his life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people and monsters of Yudut Mountain immediately glared at Yuan Zuo.

But he saw his own queen took two steps forward and looked at the elder of Guangming Palace, "Your Excellency is wrong. There is no set rules for cultivators to fight. Just stop when you are satisfied. It depends on both ability and strategy. How can there be a deep mind?"

She continued, "Besides, the young man has a strong temper. If I hadn't deliberately provoked him, how could an alchemy disciple like me have the strength to turn the situation around? Even if I was not careful for a moment, I would have used precious medicine to remedy the situation as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Chong coldly, "On the other hand, your disciple knew that my alchemist was not good at fighting, so it would have been fine if he had just kicked him off the stage, but he had to play a trick on him and then provoked him with words. Is this what a righteous cultivator would do? Could it be that this is the result of your 'education'?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Chong was so angry that his face trembled.

"you!"

As the middleman, Wu Jiang was overwhelmed. Just as he was about to try to persuade them, he suddenly heard Guangming Palace Master Yu Yao shout angrily, directly stopping Li Chong.

"That's enough! Losing is losing, aren't you ashamed?"

Although I don't know what the strange fire on the alchemist's body is, but when I think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable for an alchemist to carry some strange fire on his body so that he can make pills at any time.

It was already embarrassing enough that his favorite disciple lost to an alchemist who was not good at fighting. Now Elder Li was still holding on to this matter, attracting the attention of the whole audience, which made him even more furious.

Besides, who is the Lord of Jade Crossing? He is a ruthless person who can absorb the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder and refine it into a treasure!

Anyway, the disciple has been saved by the precious medicine. Instead of offending such a person, it is better to turn hostility into friendship.

Yu Yao looked at Li Chong coldly, snorted, and turned to bow to Chong Fan, saying embarrassedly: "Just now, Elder Li was so eager to be his disciple that he lost his composure for a moment. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Since the other party has given him an excuse, Chong Fan is not the kind of person who would insist on holding on to the matter.

She nodded slightly, "It is human nature to be concerned and confused. Since your disciple and my alchemy disciple are both fine, let's leave it at that!"

"That's how it should be."

Seeing this scene, Yuan Zuo, who was almost burned half of his life by the energy of the strange fire, was very unwilling in his heart, but he couldn't say much. He could only go back and recuperate with the help of others.

The matter has been exposed.

It also made Wu Jiang breathe a sigh of relief.

As for the ominous aura on the strange fire, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed wrong.

Why would a dignified Yudu Mountain have such a strange fire? And why would it give such a strange fire to its disciples?

Forget it, I'll just go and tell the sect leader later!

-

In the viewing seats of Lingxu Temple.

"Brother, what do you think?"

"What else can I see? That kid from Guangming Palace overestimates his own abilities and insists on provoking others. When an honest man gets angry, I can't stand it!"

"I mean the strange fire!"

"Oh, that fire, no big deal! Isn't it reasonable for an alchemist to carry some fire with him?"

"... Never mind. Anyway, I just feel it's a bit weird and I can't explain it to you clearly."

Ask, it’s intuition!

The female cultivator from Lingxu Temple who was speaking turned and looked to the right unconsciously, only to be surprised to see that her junior fellow apprentice who had been keeping his eyes closed and looking calm and composed had actually opened his eyes.

"Brother, look, my little brother has opened his eyes!"

Hearing this, the rest of the people in Lingxu Temple turned their heads to look, "How could he open his eyes? Wasn't he still closed?"

"But I clearly saw him open his eyes just now!" the female cultivator said angrily.

But then she thought, maybe the junior brother just felt the same as she did, and felt something unusual, so he became interested?

Although only a little.

-

A few hours later.

While the others were talking loudly, the people from Yudu Mountain quietly returned to the small courtyard on the cliff.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Qu Chong slid down to his knees and admitted his mistake.

"My lady, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

Chongfan was both angry and amused. He used his magic power to grab the man and said, "Oh? What did you do wrong?"

Qu Chong lowered his head silently, looking ashamed. "I failed to control my anger and let the power escape. I almost killed someone and caused you trouble..."

The more he spoke, the more guilty he felt, and his head almost dropped to the ground.

"So why are you angry?"

Qu Chong didn't even think twice and answered immediately: "Because he insulted the mountain gate!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people and monsters in the courtyard all clenched their fists, their eyes filled with anger.

The same thought came to my mind: It’s cooked well!

But the empress was not angry at all. Instead, she said slowly, "You are angry because of the reputation of the mountain sect. What's wrong with that? Even humans cannot suppress their anger all the time. Moreover, you are born as the descendant of a human and a Shura. How can I be so harsh on you?"

She sighed softly, "You've done well enough. There's no need to be so hard on yourself."

As she spoke, she gently pointed at Qu Chong's forehead, and a bit of ice-blue light merged into it.

He laughed and said, "If this happens again next time, don't burn him with fire, let him have a taste of the cold of ice!"

"Pfft."

I don't know who laughed out loud first, but suddenly, bursts of muffled laughter were heard in the courtyard.
