Chapter 4889 Huo Lingers Plan

Within the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, Huo Linger was holding one of the ancient phoenix true feathers. At this moment, flames rose on top of it, and it was vaguely possible to see a phoenix flying within each flame.

Huo Linger, what are you doing? asked Long Chen.

Big Brother Long Chen! Im awakening its spirit and using the Sun Flame to commune with it. It has already submitted to me. Now Im giving it some benefits so that itll be fully loyal to me, explained Huo Linger.

Youre getting smarter. You even know the power of kindness, praised Long Chen as he rubbed Huo Lingers head.

As a result, the phoenix figure inside the flames spat out a wave of fire at him.

Hey! Huo Linger raised her hand, sucking in the flames so that they didnt hurt Long Chen. Thats my big brother! If you dare to be rude to my big brother, Ill destroy you right now!

Hearing this, the phoenix figure became calm. However, its gaze still wasnt very friendly. Perhaps it had a grudge against Long Chen because he had ripped it off of the Thousand Phoenix Feather Dress.

It was now absorbing the Fusang Trees flames to strengthen itself, its aura growing increasingly powerful. The feathers light was s.h.i.+ning brighter, like it was a phoenix being reborn.

The original masters of these true feathers had perished, but their wills remained. As long as their true feathers lasted, their wills would not disperse.

Before this, these feathers were nourished on the Thousand Phoenix Feather Dress. However, the Flame Divine Hall never managed to fully satisfy their hunger. After all, the flame energy they provided was split into a thousand portions, which was only enough to maintain the feathers divinity. Strengthening them was impossible, as Huo Qianwu couldnt feed them that much.

However, in the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, there were three thousand Fusang Trees creating an oceans worth of Sun Flame. Finally, these feathers had an inexhaustible feast before them.

Why arent you subduing the other two as well? asked Long Chen.

Huo Linger smiled. Those two are very prideful and refuse to submit. But this fellow is smarter. Im going to raise it as my core flame feather. Later on, Ill use it to subdue the other two. That will make it easier. Once all three of them are completely under my command, Big Brother Long Chen, you should release them.

Release them? Long Chen c.o.c.ked his head at her.

Hehe, thats right, release them. Ill make it seem as if they managed to escape on their own. Then theyll return to the Thousand Phoenix Feather Dress, and the three of them will incite a rebellion among the other nine hundred and ninety-seven ancient phoenix true feathers, Huo Linger giggled, a crafty light in her eyes.

Haha, you really are a little minx. Youre getting smarter. However, are you not afraid of them not returning? asked Long Chen.

Not at all. In truth, theyre very pitiful. Huo Qianwu cant even fill their stomachs. As a result, they cant release their full power. We have what they need right here, so why would they refuse? The main problem is that the ancient phoenix race is very prideful. They wont submit so easily. However, Im sure that in front of this enticing bait, theyll make the smartest decision for themselves. Hehe, and it wont just be the Thousand Phoenix Feather Dress. I believe the Blaze Dragon Bone Whip will make that choice as well, replied Huo Linger, her smile like that of a beautiful little fox. Long Chen hadnt expected her intelligence to grow so high.

However, Long Chen did feel like this was a bit dangerous as Huo Qianwu had absolute control over the Thousand Phoenix Feather Dress. It wouldnt be so easy for it to defect. Even so, he didnt say anything further about his worries. He viewed Huo Linger and Lei Linger as his little sisters. If they wanted to do something, he let them. Although those three feathers were precious, he didnt mind losing them if things didnt turn out as planned.

Long Chen focused on his recovery. While the Scarlet Dragon Battle Armor he summoned by igniting his blood was shockingly powerful, it also placed a large burden on him.

Long Chen spent three full days to fully recover, yet he believed that Huo Qianwu was definitely no better off. Even with her Doyen power aiding her, her recovery speed wouldnt be faster than his.

Long Chens wounds healed slowly due to the Doyen power ravaging his body, which made it more difficult for the primal chaos s.p.a.ces energy to heal him. However, the power of his dragon blood also contained some wild laws. Huo Qianwu would need to first expel them before she could start to heal.

The previous battle had shown Long Chen just how terrifying Heavenly Chosens were, and it also made him realize who his true opponent was. Long Chen believed that Huo Qianwu still had some trump cards up her sleeves, but he wasnt afraid of them. In the end, a powerful trump card needed to be held by a true expert; otherwise, it would be worthless.

Still, this battle gave Long Chen a sense of alarm. If Huo Qianwu had possessed more combat experience, it really would have been a bitter fight.

By the time Long Chen recovered, Huo Linger had finished refining the three feathers, her spiritual seal placed on them. This spiritual seal was not a slave seal and was more like a contractual seal. Moreover, since Huo Linger was not human, her seal was almost impossible for others to sense.

When Long Chen released the three feathers, they immediately tore through the void but put on an extremely weak appearance. Seeing them acting properly, Long Chen knew that they had been fully won over by Huo Lingers enticement.

He was unsure whether the three feathers would manage to incite a rebellion within the Thousand Phoenix Feather Dress. He could only wait until the next time he encountered Huo Qianwu.

Long Chen took out a piece of paper with a rather sloppy map drawn on it. This was given to him by Mo Nian. There was a marker on the map, and according to Mo Nian, it indicated the location of a great hidden secret.

I wonder what hes up to right now... Well, I should get to work. If he ends up with all the treasure while Im empty-handed, hell definitely laugh at me.

Long Chen looked at the surroundings before summoning his lightning wings and shooting off like a bolt of lightning. He focused entirely on speed, not concealing himself. His divine sense recklessly scanned the surroundings as he traveled.

After an hour of flying, he sensed some fluctuations. Then, he heard a powerful roar, and a surge of powerful devil qi gushed out.

A group of people had managed to reach this place by following a secret treasure map. Due to the presence of devil creatures guarding this location, they were approaching stealthily.

However, Long Chens appearance instantly disturbed a devil creature, causing these people to flee for their lives. Any one of these devil creatures would be more than enough to wipe them out.

Its him! d.a.m.n, how is he here?! Startled cries rang out. They were amongst the first group to get through the barrier. Having been burned half dead, they had to recover first before they could treasure hunt. However, as soon as they recovered, they ran into Long Chen again, so they cursed their bad luck.

Just as they fled, a black saber fell from the sky, cutting a mountain in two, and when Long Chens figure flashed by, the roaring devil creature fell silent.

Did he just...?

Those people quickly ran back and saw blood splatters covering the land, with no devil creatures in sight.

He...

Those people stared in disbelief. Had they watched Long Chen and Huo Qianwus battle until the end, they wouldnt have been so shocked.

Without decreasing his speed, Long Chen killed the devil creature and threw the corpse on the primal chaos s.p.a.ces soil where it would slowly devour the corpse.

After that, Long Chen continued onward, slaying any devil creatures he encountered on his way. However, he chose to go around the territory of Heaven Saint devil creatures, not because he was afraid but because he was rus.h.i.+ng for time.

After several days of flying, Long Chen saw that the mountains faded away, replaced by an endless prairie.

Ive arrived.

Long Chen eyed this flat plain of gra.s.s. For some reason, his nerves instantly tensed.

It seems that this place really isnt simple!
