1454 The Lord of the Divine Chef Temple (2/2)

”However… That jade pendant had saved you. Otherwise, I don't think you can survive that hopeless situation,” the woman said faintly.

Bu Fang could not see her expression because her face was hidden under the mask. The only thing he could see was her eyes, which were filled with mysteries like chaos.

”Why?” he asked suspiciously.

”That jade pendant is a token belonging to Mu Hongzi, which is also the token of the Lord of the Divine Chef Temple. Do you understand now?” The woman gave Bu Fang a sideways glance. ”I hate Mu Hongzi, but that's my business. As the Lord of the Temple, I have to show him some respect, so I saved you…” she said.

”Can you tell me where Mu Hongzi is?”

'Here it is,' Bu Fang thought to himself. Perhaps this was the woman's real purpose of saving him—she wanted to know where Mu Hongzi was.

Bu Fang had thought that Mu Hongzi was a real border emissary of the divine dynasty. Now, it seemed that the original emissary might have been dumped somewhere by him, and he was just an impersonator. Otherwise, with the hatred he had attracted, how could he walk out of the capital safely?

”If I tell you where he is, are you going to find him and kill him?” Bu Fang asked curiously.

The woman looked at him and shook her head.

There was a look of regret on Bu Fang's face. Mu Hongzi had set him up, and he was very unhappy about it. He thought the woman was going to kill that fellow…

”Never mind. You don't have to tell me, and I don't want to know either. That stinking man… He's free to go wherever he likes… But understand that I didn't save you for nothing. Even though I did it to show some respect for Mu Hongzi, if you wish to live, you have to fight for yourself…” the woman said.

That gave Bu Fang pause. The next moment, the woman's hand rested on his shoulder once again. He heard a humming sound as the void around them transformed. In just a flash, he was brought to the site where the seals of the ancient Heavengod's inheritance were located.

”The Law of Space?” Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath and glanced shockingly at the woman.

”Do you see that seal? If you want to live, break the second seal. If you fail, you die,” the woman said. ”Since you can't break it, I'll kill you for Mu Hongzi's sake.”

Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth and thought there was something wrong with the remark.

After saying that, the woman stopped talking. She just stared quietly at Bu Fang, giving him invisible pressure.

Bu Fang furrowed his brows. He could sense that the woman was not joking.

The second seal of the inheritance was the tests of the Wok Tossing Style of Affliction. He had passed the first test, but the tests after that were tougher.

The current situation, however, did not give him any other choice. He had to pass the tests. If he succeeded, the woman would let him live. If he failed… she would kill him for Mu Hongzi's sake.

So… What was the use of this Mu Hongzi?!

Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and walked toward the seal, his Vermilion Robe fluttering.

The Divine Chefs around the inheritance were shocked when they saw him. Some were very excited, wondering if he was here to completely break the second seal.

The woman leaned against the railing and looked at Bu Fang from a distance, facing the seal. Her eyes gleamed with a serious look as she watched.

The next moment, Bu Fang's spirit was drawn into the inheritance's seal. With a rumble, a stove and a black wok with countless stardust in it appeared before him again. His face became grim. He grabbed the black wok, and as his divine sense boiled, he began to toss it.

Every time the black wok hit the stove, it would give out a violent rumble. Meanwhile, a counter appeared over the seal, and its number kept jumping, attracting everyone's attention.

The crowd thought Bu Fang was just challenging himself, but in fact, the result of this test would determine his life and death.
