532 Demonic Sky (1/2)
Pei Fengwu was not interested in Gong Zhangyan. Gong Zhangyan had grown even more stubborn and still could not let go, even after so many years had passed.
With Gong Zhangyan's personality, if he had been called to be the mission team leader, there would have been an obvious bias towards Pei Fengwu. Moreover, this lad did not have any principles about treating Pei Fengwu fairly. It could be said that he was able to do anything. If Gong Zhangyan were to be the mission team leader, not only would Jin Ying be uneasy, Jun Wulei would as well.
”I don't have an opinion.” Pei Fengwu nodded her head and was the first to express her agreement. Internally, she knew that at such a time, Jun Wulei was most suited to become the team leader. Her only motive for coming forth to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension this time was the spiritual fire. She did not want such things to affect this big affair.
”I don't have any opinions either.” Jin Ying nodded her head. Only with Jun Wulei as the team leader would she be at ease.
”Initially, you don't have any right to fight with me. But, the situation is unusual now. I am not a person with unreasonable demands. So, I will just let you have the position.” Gong Zhangyan glanced over at Jun Wulei. Considering his usual insanity, the fact that he was speaking so calmly now could only mean that he did not even care about Jun Wulei.
However, Pei Fengwu and Jin Ying were not surprised. Although Gong Zhangyan was crazy, he had the ability to get away with it. A year ago, Gong Zhangyan had been an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm. Back then, the rest of them were only at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing realm. They were always a step behind him.
”Since that is so, from now on, I will take on the role as the team leader. I will have the right to decide on anything major.” Jun Wulei raised his brows. He did not care about Gong Zhangyan's crazy ways either. After all, everyone knew just how crazy he was. There was no point in going against him.
”A spiritual fire has appeared in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension,” Jun Wulei said. ”Although we have rushed over immediately after receiving the news, we are still quite a bit slower than the ancient martial art practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Now, we have to immediately rush over to the Tan Zi Beast Lair. If we are too late, I am afraid something will happen.” His expression was solemn. Looking at it from the perspective of time, they did not have any advantage. If they arrived too late, it was very likely that they would have missed the chance to obtain the spiritual fire.
”You are overthinking this. Not everyone can handle the spiritual fire. Even with the four of us joining forces, we cannot be fully confident of doing so. How would a group of native people in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension even have such abilities?” Gong Zhangyan smiled coldly. Not only was power needed in handling the spiritual fire, but technique was also required. In a small inner world like the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, people who could handle the spiritual fire would probably be so few that they could be counted on one hand.
”Don't underestimate this Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. There are always some unthinkable profundities whenever an inner world is formed and there are always people who are better than you think. Who would know if there are some hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this place?” Pei Fengwu knitted her brows slightly. She was not one who talked a lot. However, a mindset like Gong Zhangyan's would likely lower their chances of obtaining the spiritual fire. The spiritual fire was an important affair and they could not afford for anything to go wrong. Nobody should be underestimated, much less in an inner world.
”Pei Fengwu makes a lot of sense. We will have to be cautious.” The moment Pei Fengwu spoke, Gong Zhangyan immediately smiled instead and nodded his head in agreement. All of his arrogance had been wiped out completely in an instant.
Jun Wulei rolled his eyes. It was fortunate that they had Pei Fengwu around so that she was able to tame this crazy man.
”Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry on our way. If we delay things any longer, not just the spiritual fire would be affected, even the cows would have come home.” Jin Ying let out a humph. ”I will say the ugly things first. There is only one spiritual fire. In the end, who it will belong to depends completely on our own capabilities. Once it belongs to someone, fighting for it is no longer allowed. If anyone breaks this agreement, don't blame me for not holding myself back.”
She looked coldly at Gong Zhangyan and Pei Fengwu. She was not worried about Jun Wulei at all. Instead, she was worried that when Gong Zhangyan and Pei Fengwu were placed together, it would be a very huge threat to her. A crazy man like Gong Zhangyan was willing to do anything for Pei Fengwu. It was tough to guarantee that the two of them would not collaborate in stealing the spiritual fire.
There was only one spiritual fire so only one person could have it. That meant that amongst the four of them, only one person would end up having the spiritual fire. If it was not for the fact that they were too weak alone, making it difficult for them to obtain the spiritual fire from the natives of Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, it was impossible that they would even collaborate. In fact, the collaboration was nothing but an expedient measure.
Before the four of them had set out for Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, they had already come up with an agreement. They would form a small team and defend themselves against all outside forces. When they obtained the spiritual fire, they would rely on themselves and each demonstrate their own skills. The person who finally obtained the spiritual fire could compensate the other three people in other ways.
However, each and every one of the four were determined to obtain the spiritual fire. Nothing seemed to be able to compare to the spiritual fire and everyone clearly knew of that fact.
Based on rumors, the spiritual fire could allow one to become immortal. The fact that they could morph completely into an Immortal Cultivator had to be fake but it was not entirely so. Without a doubt, the spiritual fire could greatly increase the chances of an ancient martial art practitioner becoming immortal in the Creation Pagoda. That was because a long time ago, there was a person who possessed the spiritual fire that was able to successfully become immortal. Much of the reason for success was the spiritual fire.
Perhaps the normal ancient martial art practitioners did not know, but they all did; ancient martial art practitioners of their level would have the final goal of becoming immortal. Hence, nobody was willing to give up this chance.
