Mo Fan's thoughts were simple: he would return to the Fiery Sorceress straight away, and ask her to guide him and the soldiers out of the Fire Cloud Woods.
After interacting with the Fire Sorceress for a few days, Mo Fan was confident that she would not reject his simple request. Not only was she kind, she was basically very approachable if he did not mention about the Fire Calamity Fruit.
Nanyu had brought around ten people here to search for the Fire Calamity Fruit, and there were only five left, not a great start at all.
Mo Fan managed to find his way back to the Starry Tree. In other words, he also brought Nanyu and her squad to the Fire Calamity Fruit. However, Mo Fan wanted the military to know that, as long as the Fiery Sorceress was still here protecting the Fire Calamity Fruit, there was no chance they could get their hands on it, as it was pretty much committing suicide trying to do so.

”What is this place...” Nanyu was still unwilling to lower her guard when she saw the little slope.
On the slope, the Starry Tree stood alone at the highest place in the valley, with the stars and sun keeping it company.
Not a single Fire Cloud Tree could be spotted across the spacious area, nor was there any creature nearby. The slightly bent trunk of the Starry Tree almost covered the space on the slope, and its dense branches were within the reach of a hand.
”I'll make this clear; don't think about doing anything stupid, regardless of what you see. She lives here, and as long as you're not hostile toward her, she's very willing to lend anyone in need a hand. I'll ask her to bring us out,” Mo Fan reminded Nanyu and her crew.
The other soldiers were extremely obedient, probably because they were utterly terrified by the Three-headed Demon Python. They fully obeyed Mo Fan's words.
”I'll go ahead and greet her. Don't worry, she won't...”
Mo Fan was just about to calm the squad down when a shocking fireball erupted on the Starry Tree.
The fireball was like a blazing sun hanging on top of the tree, burning the surroundings in a fiery red flame. Its fiery tongues could almost reach the ground.
The temperature rose rapidly. The heat was unbearable to begin with, yet it felt like the fireball was going to roast the humans dry.
Nanyu was shocked, and quickly went into a defensive stance. She glared at Mo Fan furiously, as she assumed that Mo Fan had purposely baited them here to harm them.
As Nanyu was about to interrogate Mo Fan, a fiery creature burst out from the fireball.
She stood on the fireball, her figure engulfed in flames. Her outline resembled a woman's shape, glamorous and dignified.
The fireball under her feet made her temperament colder and unapproachable; none of the Magicians dared to resist her after seeing her appearance!
The flames spurted out in waves. The red fire rings spread forward in an arc, until they reached into the distance and formed astonishing flame clouds!
Raising their heads, the furious, scorching flames almost set the entire sky aflame, like the terrifying scene of an apocalypse!
”Asshole, you dared set us up!” Nanyu felt herself suffocating due to the pressure of the fiery aura. She endured the suppression and roared furiously.
”I would've left you guys in the woods if I was trying to harm you...don't panic, I'll ask what happened. Someone else must have infuriated her. Damn it, which idiot did that, they almost killed us!” cursed Mo Fan.
The Fiery Sorceress was extremely furious.
