"I was just joking with you, and you actually took it seriously? Senior Brother Zhao, please get up. How could I possibly let you go? You're definitely going to die here today," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Zhao Yingjie suddenly got up, turned around and ran, trying to escape from here.

But how could he possibly escape?

With a wave of his right hand, Ye Feng unleashed a burst of blazing white flames that caught up with Zhao Yingjie and began to burn him relentlessly.

This blazing white flame is none other than the Swift Heavenly Fire.

The raging flames burned fiercely, turning Zhao Yingjie into a human torch.

At this moment, Zhao Yingjie looked like a human torch, and he was letting out a shrill scream.

But the screams didn't last long; after a moment, all was silent.

Because Zhao Yingjie had been burned to death and even turned to ashes!

After burning Zhao Yingjie to death, Ye Feng once again unleashed a dazzling burst of heavenly fire, turning Wang Hongdong's corpse to ashes as well.

In this way, Zhao Yingjie and Wang Hongdong died without leaving a trace of their faces, and no one who came here would know that Zhao Yingjie died at the hands of Ye Feng.

Suddenly remembering something, Ye Feng strode toward the ashes of Zhao Yingjie's body and began searching through them.

A moment later, a storage ring appeared in Ye Feng's hand.

"Thank goodness it wasn't burned, otherwise it would have been embarrassing," Ye Feng chuckled to himself.

Zhao Yingjie is dead, so the blood essence mark on the storage ring naturally dissipated, and Ye Feng can open and use it directly.

However, after checking everything, Ye Feng couldn't find what he was looking for—the Cold Water Ice Pearl.

The Frostwater Icy Pearl is crucial to the success of this mission; without it, the entire trip would have been in vain.

"Could it be that the Cold Water Ice Pearl isn't on Zhao Yingjie, but on Li Qingyan? It seems we still need to find Li Qingyan."

Ye Feng then entered another grotto in search of Li Qingyan's whereabouts.

At the same time, on Fairy Spirit Island.

Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing both showed a hint of worry on their faces.

"It seems Ye Feng went to the volcano on Changsheng Island with Li Qingyan and Zhao Yingjie. I wonder if this mission is very dangerous," Sun Muqing said.

Sun Muqing had just learned this news from several outer disciples of the Ling Shui Sect. After hearing the news, she immediately returned to her residence and told Jiang Lingxuan.

Jiang Lingxuan shook her head and said, "Mu Qing, don't worry too much. Li Qingyan and Zhao Yingjie are only at the True Yuan Realm, while the other disciples are at the Separation and Union Realm. Since the Ling Shui Sect sent these Separation and Union Realm and True Yuan Realm disciples to Changsheng Island Volcano to carry out the mission, it means that the mission is not very dangerous. With Ye Feng's strength, he will definitely be fine."

"I hope so."

Sun Muqing said with a wry smile.

Although Sun Muqing knew that Jiang Lingxuan's words made a lot of sense, she still couldn't help but worry.

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly came.

The next moment, a beautiful figure rushed in through the window—who else could it be but Qiu Miaozhen?

"Senior sister, you've emerged from seclusion?" Jiang Lingxuan asked.

"Yes, I've finished my quarantine early." Qiu Miaozhen nodded.

Then Qiu Miaozhen asked, "Where is Ye Feng? I heard that Zhao Yingjie has been making things difficult for Ye Feng. Where is he now?"

Sun Muqing then replied, "Last night, the Changsheng Island volcano erupted. Ye Feng, along with Zhao Yingjie, Li Qingyan, and several other disciples, went to the Changsheng Island volcano to carry out a mission."

"What? No, I'll go check it out!"

After saying that, Qiu Miaozhen flew outside without turning her head and shouted, "Miss Jiang and Miss Sun, don't worry, I will definitely bring Ye Feng back safely. If he is missing an arm or a leg, I will apologize to you with a bundle of thorns on my back!"

Inside the Changsheng Island volcano.

The night wind continued its journey through the cave when suddenly a surge of true energy emanated from ahead.

Night Wind's face lit up with joy, and he hurried toward the direction from which the fluctuations of true energy were coming from.

Upon arriving here, Ye Feng saw a female disciple frantically dealing with a giant, fiery red python.

The python's body was bright red and burning with flames, making the surrounding temperature extremely high.

The female disciple's clothes had been burned to shreds by the flames, leaving her almost completely naked!

If it were any other man, he would probably be distracted by now, but Ye Feng had no other thoughts in his mind. He pounced over and punched the giant python hard on its vital spot.

Thump!

The massive python immediately collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then remained still.

"Junior sister, are you alright?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

The female disciple's face was full of gratitude. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized that she was barely clothed and was extremely embarrassed, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

She quickly took out a set of clothes from her storage ring and changed into them before finally saying, "Thank you for saving me. You are... Junior Brother Ye Feng?"

“It’s me,” Night Wind nodded.

"Finally, I've met a fellow disciple! This is wonderful!" the female disciple exclaimed excitedly, her words almost incoherent.

With just a few words, Ye Feng knew the female disciple's name and cultivation level.

She is He Caiwei, an inner disciple of the Lingshui Sect, at the fourth level of the Separation and Union Realm, and has been in the Lingshui Sect for seven years.

"Didn't you meet any other junior sisters or brothers along the way?" Ye Feng asked.

"No."

He Caiwei shook her head and continued, "I searched for a long time but couldn't find Senior Sister Li and the others, nor did I encounter any other fellow disciples. When I got here, I was suddenly attacked by this giant python. Fortunately, you intervened in time, otherwise I might have become this giant python's lunch... or maybe dinner?"

"It's not evening yet," Night Breeze said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, being here has made me lose my sense of time," He Caiwei said with a wry smile.

"You shouldn't be injured, right?" Night Wind asked again.

He Caiwei shook her head and said, "No, it just consumed more true energy, but it didn't have much of an impact on me."

“In that case, let’s travel together and find Senior Sister Li and the others,” Ye Feng said.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

He Caiwei nodded quickly, then followed Ye Feng like a little bird.

He Caiwei seemed to be a woman who didn't like quiet. She would often strike up a conversation with Ye Feng, asking him all sorts of questions.

Ye Feng would answer most of her questions, but he would ignore some overly personal ones.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Junior Brother Ye. You must be at the peak of the Separation and Union Realm now, right?" He Caiwei asked.

"Exactly."

“You look younger than me, but I didn’t expect your cultivation level to be higher than mine. I heard that you were introduced to the sect by Senior Sister Qiu. It seems that you really have the talent and qualifications,” He Caiwei said with a sigh.

"I was just lucky to be noticed by Senior Sister Qiu," Ye Feng said modestly.
