Starting from crossing the Fengshen

"Okay, we've made an agreement."

Chu Yu stepped out from the crowd and said to the female leader, "Okay, everyone put away your weapons, and you take care of their injuries."

"Yes, princess."

The female leader nodded and busied herself with others in treating the arrow wounds of the seven people.

Fortunately, Yin Qi showed mercy and the arrow did not hurt the bone. After the magician's treatment, the wound healed on the spot.

However, it will probably take a few days to fully recover.

Chu Yu had bright eyes and a dignified demeanor. She asked with a reserved smile on her face, "My name is Chu Yu, the third princess of the Chu Kingdom. I don't know what to call you, sir?"

Yin Qi cupped his hands and said, "Yin Qi, a man from the mountains."

Chen Nan also introduced himself: "Chen Nan, also a man from the mountains."

"It turned out to be Master Yin. I have seen that Master Yin is a skilled martial artist with an extraordinary bearing. He does not look like a man from the countryside. But someone is indeed a man from the countryside."

Chu Yu acted like this when facing Yin Qi, but his expression immediately changed when he looked at Chen Nan.

She was smart and recalled what happened before. If it weren't for this man's loud slap, she and Yin Qi could have pretended not to know. But now it has become known to everyone.

Chen Nan said unhappily: "You little girl, you don't understand that I am being modest. I just said Brother Yin..."

"You still said."

Chu Yu interrupted him immediately, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.

"Cough cough."

Yin Qi coughed lightly and said, "Brother Chen, you misunderstood. I only caught a glimpse of a figure in the pool, but I didn't see it clearly. After all, it was so far away, and the water surface would reflect the sunlight, so it was difficult to see clearly."

Chu Yu heard this and raised his voice: "Did you hear it, you damn scum? Yin Qi didn't see it clearly."

Although the words were spoken to Chen Nan, they were actually also spoken to the guards.

"hey-hey!"

Chen Nan naturally understood what Yin Qi meant, but he just wanted to piss off Chu Yu, so he let out an inexplicable smile.

Chu Yu was so angry that his teeth were itching.

If Yin Qi hadn't been right next to her, she would have wanted to kill someone.

Yin Qi changed the subject and said, "Princess Yu, where is the Fiery Immortal Lotus you mentioned? How far is it from here?"

Chu Yu glared at Chen Nan, then retracted his gaze and said, "It's not very far from here. If it were just us, it would take six or seven days to get there by avoiding the powerful monsters, but with you here, we can get there in two days at most."

Yin Qi nodded.

After treating their injuries, everyone set off without stopping.

……

Two days later, everyone arrived at their destination. A volcano appeared in front of them. The crater was surrounded by layers of smoke and flames seemed like they would erupt at any time.

Seeing this, everyone was secretly shocked.

Once the volcano erupts, they are too close and have no chance of escaping.

An apprentice magician hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, is there really a Fiery Lotus in this crater?"

Chu Yu was a little unhappy and snorted, "Of course there is. Can I lie to you? This is what my master's family said. At the beginning, it was not ripe and was not picked. Now if you calculate the date, it will be in the next few days."

A female guard reminded: "Your Highness, I heard that all natural treasures are guarded by spirit beasts. I wonder if this fairy lotus..."

Chu Yu said nonchalantly: "It's okay, my master said, it's just a small snake, even if you can't deal with it, don't you still have Master Yin, right?"

She turned to look at Yin Qi, a pure smile on her face.

Yin Qi chuckled and said, "Princess Yu, the Blazing Fire Lotus is an elixir. How can an ordinary spirit beast protect it? If I am right, the little snake you mentioned is at least a fifth-level demon beast, and may even be in the transformation period of turning into a dragon."

"Fifth level monster!"

Chen Nan and others were shocked and fear flashed in their eyes.

If you think about it carefully, what Yin Qi said makes sense.

If this kind of immortal medicine is planted here, it will definitely attract the surrounding monsters. The one who can stay to guard the Fiery Immortal Lotus will naturally be the strongest among the monsters. A fifth-level monster is entirely possible.

"what!"

Chu Yu was also stunned.

But she didn't want to retreat, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if it's level five, we are not without a way to deal with it. This time I brought the Houyi bow, the treasure of the Chu State. You can use the Houyi bow, and it may be able to kill the little snake."

"Hou Yi's bow!"

Chen Nan exclaimed.

This was the weapon that his father Chen Zhan once used. He never expected to see it again after ten thousand years.

He turned to look at Chu Yu, who was carrying a long package on her back.

I think the one inside is Hou Yi's bow.

Chu Yu ignored Chen Nan, but took off the package on his back, stared at Yin Qi and said, "The Houyi bow is for Brother Yin to use, Brother Yin will not take it for himself, right?"

"what!"

Chen Nan and others were startled and got goose bumps all over their bodies.

Yin Qi laughed and said, "You should call me Master Yin. Yin Qi is fine too. Don't worry, although the Houyi bow is a fairy treasure, it is not enough to make me greedy. And as far as I know, the Houyi bow can only be used once a year. Even if I take it for myself, it will not be of much use. Instead, I will be hunted down by your Chu masters."

"Hehe, I knew you were a good person who kept your promises."

Chu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was not afraid of Yin Qi's power, but she was afraid that Yin Qi had no respect for the State of Chu.

"Give me the Hou Yi bow. You stay here and don't come near. If I start a fight with the enemy, you will be easily affected."

"Yeah, here you go."

I took the package from Chu Yu, and inside was a simple long box.

When he opened the box, he saw a longbow with a dark luster.

Picking up Hou Yi's bow, Yin Qi felt an ancient and heavy feeling, which was no less than that of a lower-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Houyi's bow, according to legend, was made from a spiritual root after the creation of the world. If the seal is completely released, its power will be incredibly great. Later, its spirit was reincarnated as Chen Nan's daughter Yiyi.

"I'm going."

Yin Qi nodded to Chen Nan and Chu Yu, then walked towards the crater.

The closer you get to the crater, the hotter the air becomes.

Soon, Yin Qi arrived at the crater. Bursts of smoke were wafting out of the crater. The air was extremely hot, and the crater was like an oven. At the same time, a rich and fragrant aroma wafted out from the smoke.

"It really is a magical medicine, with such an alluring fragrance."

Yin Qi's eyes lit up.

With a burning gaze, he looked down and saw the Fiery Immortal Lotus taking root on the cliff three feet below the crater.

The whole plant is about half a meter tall and is bright red all over.

There are nine crystal clear red leaves on the stem, and the flower on the top is shaped like a lotus.

But it is a hundred times brighter than the lotus, with fiery red petals that are as vivid and dazzling as jade carvings.

There was a huge cave entrance not far from the Fiery Immortal Lotus. In the cave, two blood-red spots were shining. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two red eyes as big as faces.

As for the snake's head, it was as big as a house and looked ferocious and terrifying.

In an instant, their eyes met.

The giant snake's eyes were red, revealing a cold murderous intent.

It has been waiting here for a thousand years, just for the Fiery Immortal Lotus to mature so that it can swallow it and transform into a real dragon.

Anyone who comes here will be its mortal enemy. (End of this chapter)
