The Fire Witch furrowed her brows and stared at Ling Feng: "Why? I don’t mean to go against you; I just want to spar with you!"

Ling Feng chuckled bitterly: "Senior Fire Witch, it’s not that I don’t want to spar with you. After all, it’s beneficial for both of us, but my current situation doesn’t allow it!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and continued: "I need to pass the Life and Death Shura Field trial, and take care of my friends, so..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

A knowing flash crossed the Fire Witch’s eyes: "I understand, so you mean once you can leave here, then you can fight me?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment, then nodded: "You could interpret it that way, Senior!"

The Fire Witch said solemnly: "Good, Ling Feng, remember your words. If you go back on your word, I won’t let you off easy!"

Saying this, the Fire Witch turned and left, leaving Ling Feng somewhat annoyed. Although the Fire Witch is a Half-step Immortality powerhouse, her tone seemed overly harsh!

"Well, you’re a Half-step Immortality powerhouse, and also a woman. Okay, being a woman makes you right!" Ling Feng shook his head.

The Fire Witch didn’t use her power against Ling Feng, even though she could achieve what she wanted this way. Yet, for some reason, she felt uneasy and thought acting that way would lead to future regrets!

"Ling Feng, such an unfamiliar name!" The Fire Witch mused, "but I sense something unprecedented from him. This person can be befriended, not antagonized. So let’s let him owe me a favor!"

Ling Feng stayed beside the four Hall Masters. After more than half a day, they finally regained some strength, enough to defend themselves.

"Ling Feng, I truly didn’t expect your power to have risen so significantly!" The Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace looked at Ling Feng and said, full of emotion: "You received the Painter’s heritage, right?"

Ling Feng smiled: "That’s correct, I indeed gained the Painter’s heritage. Senior Sky Fire, how did you encounter General Zhenwei?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace sighed and explained the whole situation to Ling Feng. After hearing it, Ling Feng frowned, realizing significant changes were going to happen in the Ancient Ruins—something that might not be a secret among the higher-ups in some Super Dimensions!

Otherwise, General Zhenwei wouldn’t have sought representatives for the Divine Realm before obtaining the Chaos Supreme Treasure. Clearly, establishing a Divine Realm representative in the Ancient Ruins was far more important than acquiring the Chaos Supreme Treasure in their views.

From the news of the Chaos Supreme Treasure revealing itself to General Zhenwei’s blatant actions, Ling Feng keenly realized that the Ancient Ruins might be on the brink of destruction, meaning his time was running short.

"Ling Feng, actually, regarding the Ancient Ruins, the Sect Master had noticed something previously!" This time, the Tianshu Palace Master spoke up: "Our White Star Organization has been researching this matter for a long time, but unfortunately, we haven’t found a solution yet!"

Ling Feng sighed and consoled them: "There will always be a way; as long as we don’t give up, hope will surely come!"

The four Hall Masters exchanged glances and said in unison with wry smiles: "I guess that’s all we can hope for now."

"By the way, Ling Feng, we heard a voice in this Life and Death Shura Field before, saying it wanted to kill one of the experts here. That person wouldn’t be you, would it?" asked the Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace.

During the time Ling Feng was taking care of them, beams of light appeared on him several times, making them inevitably think this way.

Ling Feng didn’t hide anything and nodded: "That’s right, it’s me!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace was shocked: "It’s you? What should we do then? Are you really going to kill everyone except yourself?"

The other three wore grave expressions. If the voice was truthful, Ling Feng should be at odds with the four Hall Masters.

Ling Feng chuckled and said: "Don’t worry, it’s fine! Some rules don’t apply to me!"

The four Hall Masters looked at each other, not understanding what Ling Feng meant. But seeing his confident expression, they relaxed, as their trust in Ling Feng had risen to an unprecedented level after the recent events.

Ling Feng’s confidence stemmed from the Thousand Dragon Disk!

The Thousand Dragon Disk is a Dragon Clan treasure. Although Ling Feng is its master, he still hasn’t unlocked all its secrets nor determined its rank.

What Ling Feng knows is that the Thousand Dragon Disk has bestowed him substantial power recently, and he’s found it seems to harbor an aura capable of opposing the Chaotic Octagonal Linglong Tower.

This revelation shocked Ling Feng. Could the Thousand Dragon Disk also be a Chaos Supreme Treasure? Otherwise, how could it give him a feeling of being able to counter the Chaotic Octagonal Linglong Tower?

During the time the four Hall Masters regained their strength, Ling Feng once again sensed the Thousand Dragon Disk’s presence, finding it seemed to have granted him more access, allowing him to harness more of its power.

And so, when Ling Feng and the group set off again, he was startled to find that in the half-day’s time, no one had come to trouble him.

Could the battle with General Zhenwei have instilled fear in others? Otherwise, why haven’t they attacked me? Ling Feng pondered.

However, a short distance ahead, Ling Feng smelled a metallic scent, feeling a chill and rushing forward to investigate. There he found two figures lying on the ground, their bodies charred and surrounded by a thick Power of Fire Element.

"Killed! Two Later Stage Azure Sky Realm experts, murdered?" Ling Feng squinted at the scene, as an absurd thought crossed his mind: "Could it be the Fire Witch who killed them? It looks like her doing, but why would she kill these people?"

"Could it be for me?" This bizarre idea floated in Ling Feng’s mind, but he quickly shook it off. That’s impossible!

Yet subsequent events forced Ling Feng to reconsider.

In Ling Feng’s vicinity, he found no less than ten bodies, all killed by the Power of Fire Element. The only one capable of this was the Fire Witch.
