Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Baili Yufeng Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Baili Yufeng The Northern Boundary Abyss.
A figure appeared abruptly, standing proudly in the void.
A fierce and terrifying aura emanated from the mysterious man, having reached the level of the Eightfold Tianji Realm.
âIs the Wu Fire truly in the Northern Boundary Abyss?â The man frowned slightly, a hint of doubt arising in his heart.
With a flip of his palm, a mysterious black stone appeared in his hand.
âSuch a vast Northern Boundary Abyss, where shall I start searching?â The manâs expression was somewhat complaining.
He slowly closed his eyes, trying to sense any distinctive aura, hoping he could detect a trace.
Soon, the man gave up; he could not sense any aura throughout the entire Northern Boundary Abyss, not even that of humans.
âSame as always, canât sense a thing.â The man shook his head helplessly.
âIf you search like that, you could spend another ten thousand years and still not find the Wu Fire,â just when the man was feeling exasperated, a voice suddenly broke the silence.
âKid, youâve been following me for so long, simply because youâre after the Wu Fire. Did you really think I hadnât noticed?â The man frowned and coldly shouted, his gaze sweeping towards the source of the voice.
There, a young man appeared out of nowhere.
âSo itâs you, the great young master Baili Yufeng of the Baili Clan.â The man let out a cold, slightly arrogant chuckle, a proud smile hooking at the corner of his mouth.
Baili Yufeng, the great young master of the Baili Clan, hailed as a once-in-a-millennium cultivation genius of his family.
Baili Yufeng was clad in a black brocade robe, tall and thin with handsome features, exuding an aristocratic temperament.
And he was also the brother of Baili Tianying from the Tianyan Academy!
âIt seems the Evil Tribe has quite a lot of information,â Baili Yufeng said with a slight smile, showing no trace of fear even though his cultivation was not as high as the man from the Evil Tribe.
The man was the powerful member of the Evil Tribe, Pang Xuhuai.
âIs young master Baili also searching for the Wu Fire?â Pang Xuhuai pretended to be astonished, then slapped his own head, saying, âLook at my memory, I had almost forgotten that young master Baili is an Alchemist. Itâs normal for you to seek the Wu Fire.â
âSince weâre both looking for the Wu Fire, how about we cooperate? Once we find the Wu Fire, we can each rely on our own abilities to seize it,â Baili Yufeng said indifferently.
Pang Xuhuai spread his hands and said, âIf young master Baili wants the Wu Fire, Iâll let you have it. I canât be bothered to waste time in this godforsaken place. I bid you farewell.â
With that, Pang Xuhuai truly vanished in a flash.
Baili Yufeng coldly sneered, without the slightest intention of stopping him.
The next second, Baili Yufeng suddenly waved his hand, and a terrifyingly powerful energy swept toward a spot in the void.
âNot good!â In the shadows, a manâs expression changed drastically.
âBoom!â
âBuzz!â
With a wave of his hand, the void cracked and collapsed, the intense vibrations engulfing the entire Northern Boundary Abyss, creating an earth-shattering event.
Such formidable strength was truly frightening.
âThat was close. He truly deserves to be the Baili Clanâs number one genius to have seen through my Shadowless Decision!â In the shadows, Pang Xuhuai frowned and muttered to himself, his face extremely grim, a hint of wariness flashing through his eyes.
Clearly hidden in the shadows, he had intended to let Baili Yufeng find the Wu Fire before he would make his move, but he couldnât deceive Baili Yufeng.
For Pang Xuhuai, an Eightfold Tianji Realm powerhouse, to feel wary, it showed how formidable Baili Yufengâs strength really was.
âEither cooperate, get lost, or I kill you. Choose one,â Baili Yufeng said coldly.
Pang Xuhuai, vanishing in a flash, reappeared, and said with a sneer, âTo actually see through my Shadowless Decision, you truly live up to your name as the Baili Clanâs number one talent.â
âBuzz, buzz!â
As his words fell, terrifying energy from the Eightfold Tianji Realm was crazily unleashed, a dazzling cyan light instantly enveloping the entire Northern Boundary Abyss. The void shuddered violently and collapsed, exuding an extremely fearsome aura.
âBaili Young Master wants to kill me, huh? Letâs see what youâve got. Itâs the perfect chance to see if the Baili Clanâs number one talent is just an undeserved reputation,â Pang Xuhuai venomously said, his chilling murderous intent sending shivers down oneâs spine and heart.
Hearing this, Baili Yufeng snorted coldly, âYouâll find out soon enough.â
As his words fell, Baili Yufengâs figure mysteriously vanished, silent and traceless, without causing even the slightest ripple in the air.
âHmph! Donât underestimate me!â Pang Xuhuai snarled, abruptly turning around and executing a sweeping kick.
âWho are you kicking? Iâm behind you!â As Pang Xuhuaiâs sweeping kick was launched, Baili Yufengâs voice had already sounded from behind him.
âWhat?â Pang Xuhuaiâs face suddenly underwent a dramatic change.
âBoom!â
âPuff!â
Baili Yufeng threw a punch that exploded with a boom, and with that one punch, terrifying energy forced Pang Xuhuai to spit up blood.
Fury surged in Pang Xuhuaiâs heart, but when he tried to counterattack, he found his body couldnât move at all.
âThisâŠâ Pang Xuhuai was dumbfounded, a look of shock on his face.
An Eightfold Tianji Realm cultivation is merely this, hmph,â Baili Yufeng said with a slight sneer.
A shock of horror jolted through Pang Xuhuaiâs mind. He never imagined that in facing Baili Yufeng, heâd be so easily defeated.
Suppressing the horror in his heart, Pang Xuhuai quickly said, âImpressive, Young Master Baili. It seems like there are no other options but to cooperate.â
Baili Yufeng gave Pang Xuhuai a glance and said with a mocking smile, âYouâd better not try any tricks, or Iâll kill you!â
âIn front of Young Master Baili, how dare I play tricks?â Pang Xuhuai shrugged and said laughingly, his demeanor entirely untrustworthy.
Baili Yufeng paid him no heed; he wasnât worried about Pang Xuhuai trying any tricks.
While Pang Xuhuaiâs cultivation might be above Baili Yufengâs, there was a significant gap in combat power. Since both had come for the Wu Fire, Pang Xuhuai had no choice but to cooperate.
Even though Pang Xuhuai was a strong member of the Evil Tribe, the Baili Clanâs power was not lesser compared to the Evil Tribe. Even if Baili Yufeng killed Pang Xuhuai, the Evil Tribe would likely downplay the incident.
After exchanging information about the Wu Fire, they began to explore the Northern Boundary Abyss.
âBaili Yufeng is a Sixth Grade Alchemist, better at controlling flames than I am, and his power surpasses mine. Even if we find the Wu Fire, I wouldnât be able to snatch it from him. Cooperating with him is merely helping him search for the Wu Fire, hmph, I will not let you succeed!â Pang Xuhuai brooded as they searched separately.
The Wu Fire is the strongest flame from the Primordial Ancient times, a most coveted treasure. Who wouldnât want to obtain it?
Baili Yufeng wanted the Wu Fire, and so did Pang Xuhuai.
Thus, it was certain that both parties held back some information during their exchange.
âSwoosh!â
At the top of a high cliff extending from a deep mountain, Baili Yufeng appeared in a flash, having already checked several towering peaks, yet without a single clue.
âThe Wu Fire is a primordial flame, touted as the strongest in the world. If it truly resides in the Northern Boundary Abyss, why canât I sense even a whiff of Fire Attribute energy? Thereâs not even a slight change in temperature,â Baili Yufeng mused, puzzled.
Looking at the black rock in his hand, Baili Yufeng muttered, âFinding the Wu Fire is no easy task. The Evil Tribe has searched for many years without a trace. Could someone else have reached it first? Or perhaps itâs sealed!â
The Northern Boundary Abyss showed no signs of life, offering no leads, undoubtedly making the search more difficult.
