Chapter 108: I Want the Ten Thousand Year Fire Lotus!

  "Hum! Dare to hit our young master, you're really getting impatient with your lives. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way quickly, otherwise, you'll be in trouble!" A middle-aged man from the Zhu family team shouted, relying on his powerful connections.

  "Are you talking to me?" Feng Zhan's dark red phoenix eyes narrowed, his tone unpleasant as he deliberately released his own pressure.

  "Ah! This... is a Spirit God?" The people of the Zhu family were shocked, each face filled with terror. Although the Zhu family was numerous and powerful, they were nothing in front of a Spirit God.

  "That red-clothed man is a Spirit God?" Not far away, Ming Huan, who was watching the commotion, muttered to himself in surprise, but at the same time, he also had some doubts. Isn't this place only allowed for those below Spirit Venerable to enter? Why would there be a Spirit God?

  At this time, Feng Zhan's words sounded again.

  "Did you see me as a spirit god with that eye of yours?" Feng Zhan asked somewhat discontentedly.

  "Huh, if you're not a spirit, then what are you?" A member of the Zhu family plucked up their courage and asked cautiously.

  "You don't deserve to know. All you need to know is that until my master has had enough fun, no one is allowed to save this pig head." Feng Zhanba said with an air of absolute authority.

  "What's the use of having divine strength? Even if you do, what can you do? There are so many of us in the Zhu family, and you're just one person. You're not a match for us at all." A young man with little experience among the Zhu family members suddenly spoke out loudly.

  "Zhū Néng, shut up!" The man's words had just fallen when a sixty-year-old old man scolded before Feng Zhan could open his mouth.

  "Sir, I'm really sorry. The child doesn't understand things, please don't mind him." The old man said to Feng Zhan with a smile all over his face and great respect.

  "I wouldn't bother with a naive little kid, but whether others would bother, I don't know." Feng Zhan's beautiful face wore an enchanting smile, hinting at something.

  "Feng Zhan, come back!" Ling Ruo Xue softly called out.

  Upon hearing Leng Ruoxue's words, Feng Zhan obediently retreated back to her side and asked in a low voice: "Master, why didn't we kill the Zhu family? They're really getting on my nerves."

  "Do you want to be someone else's gun? " Leng Ruoxue glanced at the Ming family members who were watching with some excitement, and asked calmly. Hum! Using her would come at a cost.

  "Hmm, no need to think about it, my intention is to annihilate them all and send these people to hell together." Feng Zhan said in a very evil tone, anyway, in his eyes, except for the master and those around him, everyone else was a killable person.

  "It's not the time yet, there are still two more levels to go." Ling Ruo Xue reminded, if the treasure of the last level was really to her liking and these people insisted on competing with her for it, then they shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.

  "Xu'er, I'll be right back." The little fox, who had been extremely quiet and still in Xue's arms, suddenly spoke up, then transformed into a silver light and dashed out.

  A silver-colored weasel rushed to Zhu Feng's side, who was already in a miserable state. Its eyes released a cold glint, and it revealed its sharp claws. "Slap!" One of its paws slapped onto an important part below Zhu Feng's abdomen...

  That damned pig head, dare to bully Snow's mastermind, hum! Can't let you go! Xiaodiao said with hatred in her heart.

  "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Zhu Feng's miserable cries, one louder than the last, even after he fainted from pain, Xiaotiao slapped him awake again with a paw...

  The ball that thought it was fun also flew over, a pair of tender little paws jumped vigorously on Zhu Feng's body...

  "Elder, what shall we do?" a member of the Zhu family asked in a low voice.

  "What can be done? Can you defeat that man in red?" The old man, known as the elder, said with a practical tone, but his heart couldn't help but sigh, alas! This time the young master is probably finished!

  Everyone in the Ming family present was originally watching with a playful attitude, but after seeing the end, they also felt terrified. What kind of beast is this? It specifically attacks the important parts of people's homes, does it want men to die? Alas, Zhu Feng is really too pitiful!

  Leng Ruo Xue and others were also covered in black lines, staring blankly...

  The silver fox cub had enough, so it released a water-based spiritual power to clean its small paws, then jumped back into Leng Ruo Xue's arms and snuggled lightly, the entire movement was smooth and natural, like flowing clouds and water.

  "Sister!" Ball Ball had played enough and flew back to Leng Ruo Xue's side, but the bloodstains on its pink paws made it feel uneasy...

  Looked at her own dirty little paws, Ball Ball's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Leng Ruo Xue: "Sister, my paws are dirty, waaah..."

  Leng Ruo Xue shook her head slightly in exasperation, released a water ball technique to help Ball Ball clean its paws, and then coaxed: "Okay, it's already clean."

  "Sister, Ball likes sister so much." Ball flew onto Leng Ruo Xue's shoulder, its chubby little body lightly rubbing against her stunning face, with a somewhat spoiled tone.

  "Sister also likes Ballball!" Leng Ruoxue said, stroking Ballball's soft fur.

  "Hehe!" Ball laughed happily.

  "Welcome, everyone, to the fourth level of the Desert Labyrinth. The task for this level is to wipe out all the monsters here, and I need to remind you that in this level, no matter what grudges you may have had with each other, you must work together, otherwise, it will be impossible to complete this level."

  "Silver Wings, come back!" said Leng Ruoxue with great kindness before Zhu Feng's last gasp.

  "Yes, master." The silver wolves finally gave a fierce slap with their paws and retreated back to Leng Ruo Xue's side. Silver Wing gently lifted its front paws and kicked Zhu Feng, who was covered in claw marks and bloodstains, his clothes already reduced to tattered rags, back into the midst of the Zhu family members.

  Young Master!

  Young Master!

  The elder of the Zhu family hastily took out a pill and stuffed it into Zhu Feng's mouth, his face full of resentment. He hummed, "A knife on the head of lust!" He had told Master Zhu so many times, but he never listened. Now he was taught a lesson! However, what made him even angrier was that there were scores to settle that couldn't be avenged!

  "Grandpa, everyone pay attention to safety." Leng Ruo Xue ignored the hateful gazes of the Zhu family and turned her head to remind him.

  "Uh-huh, Xue'er, you be careful too, I'm afraid the Zhu family might make a sneak attack." Leng Qingtian reminded.

  "For now they don't dare, otherwise no one can pass this level, but the next level is hard to say." Cold Snow analyzed.

  "Shasha! Shasha!" Just then, a "shasha" sound came while Leng Ruxue and the others were speaking in hushed tones.

  Then, countless insects emerged from the ground, including ants, scorpions and centipedes. Each insect was as big as a millstone, and the leading ones were several times larger than ordinary insects.

  "Damn it, bugs again!" Leng Ruoxue said with some annoyance, having already cursed the Spirit of the Secret Realm to death in her heart. Can't that Spirit of the Secret Realm come up with anything else besides these disgusting things?

  "Miss Leng, it seems we have no choice but to cooperate." Ming Huan said loudly as he looked at Leng Ruoxue.

  "Hmm, this level requires everyone to work together, so, people from the Zhu family, don't drag us down!" Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of sarcasm, glancing at the elder from the Zhu family.

  "We of the Zhu family will never drag our feet! Hmph! Let's see who comes out on top!" The elder of the Zhu family retorted, somewhat irritated.

  "I hope so." Leng Ruoxue said with a careless smile.

  "Get to it!" Looking at the ferocious and disgusting insect staring at them, Leng Ruoxue gave a direct order.

  As soon as Leng Ruo Xue's voice fell, the Ming family members also moved in unison. With the coordination of the two teams, the number of insects decreased by nearly a third.

  "Grandfather, I found that the insects in this pass seem to be easy to defeat, but there are just too many of them." Leng Ruo Xue transmitted a message to Leng Qing Tian during the interval of releasing her skills.

  "Hmm, Grandfather has also discovered it." Leng Qingtian replied, his spiritual technique continuously being cast, and a large group of insects immediately died.

  "Do the people of the Zhu family enjoy watching a commotion so much?" Cold Snow's beautiful eyes glanced at the Zhu family members who were still standing on the side, her face full of disdain.

  "Heh heh, Miss Leng, the Zhu family has always been like this, don't expect anything from them." Ming Huan said, adding fuel to the fire.

  "Oh, I see!" Ling Ruo Xue's face was filled with realization.

  "Dead girl, we are not such people." Old man Zhu angrily roared.

  "What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and take action, or else a woman will make fools of us!" Old Master Zhu shouted loudly to the people around him.

  "Oh!" The Zhu family seemed to have reacted at this moment, and they hurriedly used their spiritual techniques to kill the insects.

  In the secret room, colorful and varied spiritual techniques danced in the air, wherever they went, countless insects were killed or injured...

  About half an hour later, all the insects were killed, but that mechanical voice did not appear.

  "Xu'er, something's off?" Leng Ruo Han couldn't help but say, logically speaking, after killing all the insects, that voice should have appeared! But...

  "It should be that our task is not yet completed, everyone raise your vigilance!" Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said.

  Just as everyone was puzzled, countless insects emerged from the ground again, and both their numbers and strength were at least twice that of the previous batch.

  "Let's get started!" Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat helplessly, and initiated the attack first.

  "Hey, girl! How long do we have to fight?" Old Man Chou couldn't help but ask. His old arms and legs hadn't been exercised like this in a long time... Ugh, he was really tired!

  "Beat it until that sound appears." Lan Ruoxue said calmly, if there were no outsiders here, she would have released all her beasts.

  "Alas! Fighting is also a physically demanding job!" The old man sighed.

  An hour later, after everyone's concerted efforts, all the insects were eliminated again, but that voice still didn't appear.

  "What the hell does this mean!" a member of the Zhu family couldn't help but curse.

  "Xue Er, haven't you finished the task yet?" Leng Qing Tian's face was full of puzzlement. This broken task is really troublesome, fortunately they have Dan medicine in hand, their spiritual power recovered quickly, otherwise, going on like this, they would be exhausted to death.

  "Grandpa, don't worry, it will be done." Lan Ruoxue comforted.

  After a while, countless insects surged up from the ground again. This time, compared to the previous ones, their strength and numbers had doubled.

  Leng Ruo Xue gazed at the dense, crawling insects, her heart seething with anger. Hum! Spirit of the Secret Realm, this had better be the last time, otherwise, she would have to destroy this place.

  "Everyone get to work!" Leng Ruoxue said coldly.

  Leng Ruo Xue's words had not yet finished, when everyone couldn't wait to start killing the insects. Hands rose and knives fell, spiritual energy flew about, and each insect died in an instant. Moreover, every single person struck with extreme ferocity, it was clear that they were all venting their pent-up anger on those unfortunate insects.

  After a while, when all the insects were exterminated again, that mechanical voice finally appeared.

  "Congratulations, you have passed the fourth level test. Each of you can get 5000 points now. You can go to the next level now. Hehe, although there are still two transmission gates, but you don't need to make a choice anymore, because no matter which one you choose, the destination is the same, haha!" The mechanical voice said, and it burst into crazy laughter.

  "Since that's the case, let's go!" Leng Ruoxue suppressed her anger and glanced at everyone present before saying to the person beside her.

  "Let's go!" Leng Qingtian and others nodded, and stepped into the transmission gate together.

  After the light flashed and disappeared, Leng Ruo Xue and others had already been transported to the last level of the Desert Labyrinth.

  Leng Ruoxue raised her eyes to scan the environment in front of her, this secret room should be the largest one in the entire maze. In the corner of the secret room, there were also two golden teleportation gates, and two teams were already waiting inside.

  The people of the two teams were stunned when they saw Leng Ruxue and others, but soon recovered and nodded to them in a friendly manner.

  Leng Ruo Xue and others arrived here, Ming Huan and Zhu's team also followed.

  "I'm delighted that all of you have arrived safely at the final stage of the Desert Labyrinth. This final stage is the most difficult part of the entire labyrinth. Moreover, among your five teams, only three teams will be able to leave the labyrinth unscathed." The mechanical voice exclaimed excitedly.

  "What's going on? Only three teams can leave safely?" Ming Huan asked with some confusion.

  "There are only three teams that can survive and get out." The mechanical voice explained.

  "Then those who can't get out will have to die here?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with a slight frown.

  "Yes, the other two teams must die. However, who lives and who dies is up to you to decide." The mechanical voice sounded somewhat evasive.

  "Your meaning is, let us five teams kill each other?" asked Leng Ruoxue coldly.

  "Yes, haha! That's the rule of the maze, who let there be only three rewards for the final level!" The mechanical voice laughed irresponsibly.

  "What if it's the last one, and only one team is left alive?" Old Master Zhu suddenly asked.

  "Of course, all those rewards will go to the living team!" The mechanical voice said matter-of-factly.

  "Let's talk about the reward first!" said Leng Ruoxue, which was what she cared most about.

  "Haha! Alright, the first place among you can get two sacred artifacts that increase attack and defense each."

  "Second place can get two divine beasts and don't need to tame them, they can contract directly."

  "Third place can obtain the Eternal Lotus." The mechanical voice explained.

  There's actually a ten-thousand-year-old Fire Lotus, this is great! It seems that the Spirit Fruit of the Secret Realm didn't deceive her after all, it really is what she wanted most. But, she only needed a thousand years', will ten thousand years' be okay?

  As a Dan Master, she was well aware that the higher the grade and age of the medicinal materials, the better the quality of the refined Dan medicine would be. However, extremely high-quality Dan medicine wasn't necessarily what she needed, because whether it was Dan medicine or spiritual fruit, they had to match her own level in order to be consumed safely. Therefore, she was worried that the Wan Nian Huo Lian-refined Dan medicine might not be effective on the demon.

  "Xu'er, the Millennium Fire Lotus can be used." The silver little fox said in a low and urgent tone, and his heart was excited beyond measure. He couldn't believe that there would actually be a Millennium Fire Lotus here, it was really great, he finally didn't have to stay in this fox's body anymore.

  "Are you sure?" Leng Ruoxue couldn't help but ask, because the elixir refined from thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old medicinal materials had different effects. If Yao Jiao ate it, wouldn't she die from bursting her body due to being unable to withstand the medicine's power? This wasn't the result she wanted!

  "Hmm!" The silver fox nodded vigorously, a thousand-year-old fire lotus was the minimum requirement, and ten thousand years would be even better. However, a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus wasn't that easy to find, so having a thousand-year-old one would have to do.

  "Well, then I must get the Millennium Fire Lotus." Cold as Snow said with a determined tone.

  "Ah, Lian! The third-place reward is the Eternal Flame Lotus. Does that mean we have to get third place?" Old Man Gou said with a helpless expression. With their abilities, getting first place wouldn't be a problem, but this girl insisted on getting third place - wasn't that making things difficult for them? However, the rewards for first and second place were indeed useless to them, while the reward for third place was only suitable for Dan Shifu; anyone else would just be displaying it.

  "Third place is the best, of course." Lan Ruoxue said lightly, if not necessary, she didn't want to kill indiscriminately, so those people had better know their limits and not compete with her, otherwise, she would make them regret coming into this world. Humph! To save the demon, even if her hands were stained with blood, what's wrong with that?!

  "Leng Xiaojie, how about we join forces?" Ming Huan suddenly transmitted a message to Leng Ruoxue.

  The team where Leng Ruoxue is, may have the least number of people, but Ming Huan absolutely dare not underestimate them. Just in the fourth level, their strong and ruthless performance has deeply shocked him!

  Now, among the five teams present, the first two teams to arrive have clearly reached some kind of agreement. The Zhu family also has the idea of monopolizing all the rewards, so they must find an ally for themselves. Only in this way will their chances of survival increase. Among the few teams present, only Leng Ruo Xue's team is the most suitable for them, which is why he took the initiative to propose an alliance.

  "Alright, but I want the Eternal Lotus." Leng Ruoxue stated her demand directly.

  "No problem." Ming Huan replied very readily. Although the Millennium Fire Lotus was precious, it was not practical for them at all. What he was more interested in were sacred artifacts or divine beasts.

  "Haha, now you can start fighting." The mechanical voice spoke again after a brief silence.

  The five teams present did not make the first move, but instead observed each other.

  "Leng Xiaojie, which one shall we start with?" Ming Huan asked through a voice transmission.

  "Of course, it's the Zhu family." Leng Ruoxue said lightly. The question that the elder of the Zhu family asked earlier probably irritated the other two teams. Although this might also be what they were thinking in their hearts, at such a sensitive moment, whoever brought it up first would become the thorn in everyone's eyes.

  "Good." Ming Huan agreed, the Zhu family was their greatest rival, and if they could get rid of them, it would be the most beneficial for them.

  "We'll wait and see for now," said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Mm." Ming Huan responded with a sound, and immediately led his own team to retreat several steps back, standing in the corner.

  At this time, in the center of the secret room, only the first two teams that arrived and the Zhu family members were left.

  The captains of the two teams exchanged a brief glance at each other after looking at Cold Snow and Ming Huan, who were frozen in the corner, before simultaneously launching an attack on Zhu's family...

  The reason why they attacked the Zhu family first, apart from the previous problem, is mainly because the number of people in the Zhu family was the largest among the five teams, and their strength was also strong. Therefore, they all believed that the Zhu family was their greatest enemy. As for Leng Ruoxue and Ming Huan, they didn't even take them seriously.

  "You dare to attack us, the Zhu family!" The old man of the Zhu family roared furiously, he had originally wanted to use someone else's knife to kill, but he never thought that his own team would become the first target of attack.

  Three teams quickly got entangled together, while Leng Ruo Xue and Ming Huan sat on the ground, watching the battle from a distance.

  "Leng miss, those two teams are very strong!" Ming Huan said while watching and transmitting sound.

  "Hmm, the Zhu family isn't weak either!" Leng Ruoxue replied. The two teams combined had over thirty people, with nearly twenty of them being Spirit Masters. On the surface, they seemed to have the upper hand for now, but no one dared to guarantee that the Zhu family didn't have any trump cards. After all, the fact that the Zhu family was able to bring in so many people already spoke volumes.

  "Xue Er, after dealing with the Zhu family, they should be coming for us next, right?" Leng Qing Tian said, understanding the situation on the scene.

  "Hmm, let's get ready!" Leng Ruoxue reminded, and shifted her gaze to the three teams.

  In the battle, three teams have suffered losses, with the Zhu family suffering the most. Originally 25 people, now only 5 are left, of which 4 are seriously injured, and only the old master of the Zhu family is still holding on.

  "You scum, I'll make you regret it!" Old Master Zhu glared at his opponent with a heart full of hatred and malice, then chose to go all out.

  As cold as snow, her hands moved swiftly and her eyes were quick. When she felt something was off, she hastily set up a barrier to protect herself and the others.

  Ming Huan saw the elder of the Zhu family self-destruct and quickly took out the defensive sacred artifact, isolating the residual waves of the elder's self-destruction outside.

  Compared to their intact state, the two teams at the center of the explosion were not so lucky. The spiritual masters in both teams were still alive but all seriously injured, while everyone below them, including the four remaining members of the Zhu family, were taken away by the Zhu family elder's self-destruction to meet their maker.

  Leng Ruo Xue and Ming Huan stood up from the ground and walked into the central position of the secret room.

  "Ming Huan, should we thank Zhu Changlao or not?" Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of regret as she glanced at the nearly twenty Spirit Venerables who were still alive but covered in wounds.

  "It's true that we should thank him, but what we should be more thankful for is Zhu Feng. If he hadn't died so early, the Zhu family wouldn't have disappeared so quickly." Ming Huan said with a good mood, the Zhu family's secret weapon was on Zhu Feng's body, if it wasn't for Zhu Feng dying first, the Zhu family wouldn't have been eliminated so quickly.

  "Hmm, that makes sense." Cold-as-Snow nodded in agreement. That pig-headed guy had already been scared stupid when Silver Wolf was fixing him up, and later on, he was the first to be killed by their opponent during battle. Alas! He was a young master who hadn't even gotten the chance to show off properly before kicking the bucket. What a pitiful thing.

  "Do you want to take advantage of others' misfortune?" A middle-aged man couldn't help but ask, looking at Leng Ruoxue and the others.

  "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you." said Leng Ruoxue with a reassuring smile.

  "Ming Huan, these people are handed over to you. Men don't need to care too much about their reputation." Leng Ruo Xue turned her head and said to Ming Huan and the others.

  The middle-aged man had just calmed down after hearing Leng Ruoxue's words, but in the blink of an eye, he heard her say something else and was so angry that he spat up blood.

  Ming Huan and others had a few drops of cold sweat on their foreheads, and they couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in their hearts. Oh, madam! Men also care about their reputation!

  "Take advantage of his illness and take his life, why don't you hurry up and make a move? If they recover, it will be us who die!" reminded Cold Snow.

  "Get moving!" Ming Huan ordered coldly.

  At the sound of Ming Huan's order, all the people of the Ming family took action and sent all the survivors in these two teams to hell... After that, they also actively cleaned up the battlefield.

  "Not bad at all." Cold Snow praised, without having to take action herself, she had already solved three teams, this feeling was truly not bad!

  "Thank you for the compliment." Ming Huan said with a straight face, two beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

  "Young master, the spoils of war have been collected." A subordinate of Myeong Hwan reported.

  "Miss Leng, how about we split this spoils of war equally?" Ming Huan asked very politely.

  "I have no opinion." Lan Xue said calmly, she didn't care about the spoils of war at all, the only thing she cared about was the Ten Thousand Year Fire Lotus.

  "Hey, we now have only two teams left, hurry up and come out!" Ling Ruo Xue shouted into the void.

  "Hmm, Miss Leng..." A few black lines slid across Ming Huan's forehead, his heart secretly admiring how bold and unyielding this Cold Ruo Xue was. She actually told someone to get out, sigh! With her saying that, who would still dare come out? But the reality made him wide-eyed with surprise...

  "Dead girl, what are you shouting about? The outcome is still undecided!" the mechanical voice said with a hint of displeasure.

  "We've already decided, I'm third place, hurry up and give me the Millennium Fire Lotus!" Cold Snow shouted loudly without any politeness.

  "Alright, here it is, catch!" The mechanical voice said with a hint of strangeness.

  "Damn it, I wanted the Millennium Fire Lotus, what is this ghost thing?" Cold Snow stared at the reward that suddenly appeared in her hand, her hair disheveled by the wind!
