Dandy Pill God

How is this possible?

Precisely because Lan Ye understood the difficulty of Zhu Fei's cultivation breakthrough, she was increasingly shocked, feeling an overwhelming sense of disbelief.

Wait! Suddenly, Lan Ye snapped back to reality, her gaze sharp as she fixed her eyes on Zhu Fei, asking him word for word via sound-transmission: "You still haven't told me, what exactly are you here for? Are you also...?"

Zhu Fei nodded and replied through sound-transmission as well, "Senior Lan Ye, you are correct. I am here purely to rescue my friend Chen Tianxing."

At this point, Zhu Fei really had no reason to hide anything.

Not to mention he had already guessed that Lan Ye's purpose here was likely the same as his — to rescue Chen Tianxing.

Even if his guess was wrong, Zhu Fei considered that with his current strength, he couldn't possibly oppose Lan Ye.

Thus, his demeanor was rather straightforward.

However, Lan Ye's reaction to Zhu Fei's current demeanor showed a hint of admiration despite a slight surprise.

To her, regardless of whether Zhu Fei's actions would ultimately succeed, his bravery and loyalty towards his friend were commendable.

And it was precisely for this reason that Lan Ye's harsh gaze slowly softened towards Zhu Fei, as she nodded gently, saying:

"Indeed, Tianxing truly judged you well. Just for today's actions, I can promise you that if we truly manage to rescue Tianxing, I will no longer strongly oppose your friendship."

Upon hearing Lan Ye's words, Zhu Fei couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

But he didn't dwell too much on the matter. The most urgent task was to find a way to rescue Chen Tianxing.

"May I ask, Senior Lan Ye, do you have any good suggestions on how to rescue Tianxing?"

Zhu Fei's words instantly made Lan Ye's expression turn unpleasant once more.

"Very difficult," she shook her head, saying.

After a pause, Lan Ye continued, "Extremely difficult. The only way to rescue Tianxing is through a frontal assault, but given my strength, there's not much certainty of success."

Although Lan Ye spoke tactfully, Zhu Fei realized that her uncertainty was essentially as good as admitting they had no chance.

This made Zhu Fei's heart sink slightly.

He could not help but ask again, "Senior Lan Ye, is a frontal assault really our only option?"

Lan Ye shook her head, "That old Heavenly Sword Immortal King, since he decided to bring Tianxing here for sacrifice, he wouldn't leave any loopholes."

At this point, Lan Ye suddenly glanced at Zhu Fei again, hesitantly saying: "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Zhu Fei's eyes focused sharply, sensing something from Lan Ye's words, prompting him to ask directly.

"Unless someone is willing to cooperate with me, attacking head-on, while they rescue Tianxing at the platform. However, that person must possess a certain level of Array Dao cultivation; otherwise, they'll never reach the platform."

"Hmm, is that so?" Zhu Fei's eyes flashed with thought before he looked at Lan Ye, saying, "Senior Lan Ye, do you think I might be that person to assist you?"

"You...?"

Lan Ye's eyes revealed a hint of doubt, and she uncertainly said, "Do you know arrays?"

Zhu Fei smiled slightly, saying, "I may not have profound achievements, but I can overcome the external barrier prohibitions here."

"What? You say you can break the external barrier's prohibition?"

Initially, Lan Ye didn't have high hopes for Zhu Fei.

But after hearing Zhu Fei's latter words, she immediately changed her mind without further questioning, nodding directly:

"If that's the case, then you can indeed act as my aid, but this mission is extremely perilous. Failure could lead to death. Knowing this, are you still willing?"

After speaking, Lan Ye looked steadily at Zhu Fei, her eyes scrutinizing.

She wanted to see if Zhu Fei's heart would waver knowing the mortal danger, whether he'd still dare to take the risk with her.

Of course, Lan Ye's actions were evidently unnecessary.

Zhu Fei displayed calmness, his gaze meeting Lan Ye's. His voice, steady yet determined, said: "Naturally, I am willing."

This simple sentence revealed Zhu Fei's inner resolve, causing Lan Ye's gaze to intensify before nodding with satisfaction.

"Good, then the critical task of rescuing Tianxing will depend on you."

With that, Lan Ye removed a white bracelet from her person and handed it to Zhu Fei:

"This is my lower top-grade Defensive Immortal Artifact called the Sealing Heaven Ring. I'll hand it over to you now. In case of any mishaps, you can use it to temporarily fend off enemy attacks."

With that, Lan Ye wiped her mark from within the Sealing Heaven Ring and assisted Zhu Fei in preliminary refining of the Immortal Artifact.

Zhu Fei didn't hesitate; with Lan Ye's help, he quickly grasped its functions.

Unquestionably, a top-grade Immortal Artifact is powerful, even at the lower end of top-grade. Its strength far surpassed his own crafted fire-hand guardian.

After Zhu Fei stored the Sealing Heaven Ring, they discussed action details briefly before proceeding deeper under Lan Ye's lead.

Laying claim as an Immortal King Practitioner, Lan Ye passed unnoticed by the cultivators guarding the area.

An hour later, Zhu Fei and Lan Ye reached a flat square.

Around it were nearly a hundred Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace followers, further surrounded by a powerful Prohibition Barrier.

Any disturbance instantly alerted everyone present.

At the square's end stood a tall sacrificial platform.

On its peak hung a decrepit white-haired woman, limbs bound and surrounded by a myriad of prohibitions.

Her pale face grimaced in torment, body trembling, enduring immense suffering.

The woman was none other than Chen Tianxing, Zhu Fei and Lan Ye's rescue target!
