Chapter 374: 【294~295】Flame God Treasure! (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendations)_1
An intangible force directly imprisoned this part of the world, and after Pei Jinye realized he couldn’t leave, he stopped his Flash Escape.
However, he still found that his Karmic Fire could actually erode the power coming from the Big Fire Dragon… albeit a bit slowly.
If they really started fighting, the opponent would not give him this time.
“Well, let’s talk then,” he said.
Pei Jinye stood tall and dignified, raising his hand, and a ten-meter-long table emerged from the ground under his control as he sat down with the posture of a leader.
Though his face seemed calm and composed, his heart was actually in turmoil.
In confronting such a transcendent being, his biggest trump cards at the moment were merely the Female Sword Immortal’s Sword Intent and Death Replay.
The latter he did not want to touch lightly.
The former… Sword Intent was a one-time consumable, which related to whether he would still have the courage to challenge the big shots in the future.
But now it seemed that the Old Dragon didn’t really have the intent to devour anyone.
Pei Jinye could only bet on this possibility.
The Fire Dragon appeared within the shadows, its steaming flames turning the nearby caves a glowing red, as its eerie and enormous Double Pupils stared at Pei Jinye.
It seemed to hesitate whether its actions at this moment were a bit rash.
For some reason, it set aside its concerns and directly pulled Pei Jinye into its Domain.
Pei Jinye looked up and surveyed his surroundings.
He discreetly clutched the only Sword Intent he had left, always on guard against the Old Dragon.
“The Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus you consumed is connected to the Flame God’s Coffin, to be precise, it’s the key to opening the Flame God’s Coffin… I’ve guarded this place for so many years that I’ve forgotten how many, thinking the Flame God’s Coffin would never surface, yet… unfortunately,” the Fire Dragon said.
The aura surrounding the Fire Dragon receded slightly, and Pei Jinye could actually see the passage of time in its Double Pupils.
[Could it be this Old Dragon might transform into a human shape in the future?] Pei Jinye mumbled in his heart, sitting upright and awaiting the Old Dragon’s following words.
“Do you know that once the outside world learns that you’re involved with the Flame God’s Coffin, your death is certain?”
That woman had said the same… Pei Jinye calmly looked back, “It’s your duty to protect it, yet I devoured the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus. In the end, your poor supervision is at fault, and should I die, you won’t fare any better.”
“You sure have a sharp tongue,” the Fire Dragon said with a hint of a chuckle. “Although the Old Dragon is trapped here, your arrival has broken the imprisonment. Those people are not entirely sure they can kill me. When the time comes, what’s to prevent me from hiding? But you, can you hide?”
“You’re not killing me and keeping me here. You don’t just want to tell me that my time is running out, do you?” Pei Jinye retorted.
The Fire Dragon paused, looked at Pei Jinye, and spoke softly, “The matters behind the Flame God’s Coffin are too complicated…”
“The Seven Gods?” Pei Jinye blurted out unexpectedly.
The Fire Dragon looked at him and slowly nodded, “Yes, the legend of the Seven Gods has been around for a long time. I can only say that the Flame God’s Coffin indeed exists, but whether it’s related to the Gods, I’m not sure.”
“Do you also believe there are no gods in this world?” Pei Jinye couldn’t help but ask.
The Fire Dragon stared at Pei Jinye, not speaking immediately.
In its Vision, there was a hint of a red halo at Pei Jinye’s brow—this was a sign of fortune.
Ordinary people couldn’t see it at all.
But this young man in front of it had somehow received such fortune, perhaps favored by some entity.
After a moment of silence, the Fire Dragon finally spoke slowly, “The true God is beyond words, beyond sight, beyond hearing.”
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows.
That was an interesting statement.
“Have you seen one?”
“Does it matter?” the Fire Dragon asked softly.
Pei Jinye laughed, “Just trying to get some understanding, was Dragon brother arranged here by the Federation?”
They spoke with a familiar tone, as if they had known each other for many years.
The Fire Dragon didn’t mind the little details in the address, but just hummed lightly, “If I hadn’t been schemed against back then, I wouldn’t have stooped to this. However, since you’ve already consumed the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus, the oath of that year can be nullified.”
Before Pei Jinye could speak, the Fire Dragon said with a stern voice, “I won’t beat around the bush with you. There’s a chance behind the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus, and I need your help to completely remove my restrictions. By then, we can blame the matter of the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus on that woman.”
Pei Jinye’s gaze flickered.
“I don’t trust you.”
“…”
The Fire Dragon fell silent and after a pause said leisurely, “Do you think I trust you?”
The two, man and dragon, gazed at each other in silence.
Suddenly, a stifled explosion sounded in the air.
“Huh, what a coincidence? You’re here too?”
The white-haired woman seemed somewhat guilty, as if she would have turned and left had she not needed something from the Fire Dragon.
Pei Jinye’s gaze shifted over somberly, “Sister, is the jerky tasty?”
The white-haired woman turned her back, apparently searching for something, then threw out a Jade Stone, “I’m afraid you’ll have to go without Dragon Meat, this fellow is quite ferocious now, I can’t handle him alone in a short time.”
The Fire Dragon listened to their conversation, and its eyes immediately grew more dangerous.
Pei Jinye looked at the Jade Stone, which was crystal clear like a precious gem, uncertain of its significance.
But holding it in his hand, he faintly felt his consumption decreasing.
He couldn’t help but look up.
So she’s a rich lady after all…
“Sister, you’re too kind. Let’s keep in touch when you’re free,” he said.
The moment the white-haired woman’s debt was repaid, her demeanor instantly returned to being high and mighty, “What are you doing here?”
Pei Jinye turned his gaze to the Fire Dragon.
The Fire Dragon answered for him, “I have something to discuss with him.”
“Tsk, one moment you’re fighting to the death, and the next you can sit together and chat amiably, that’s rare indeed,” the white-haired woman scoffed, then looking at Pei Jinye with an insinuating gaze, she said, “The Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus is key to the Flame God’s Coffin; anyone who can Refine it stands to inherit a chance left by the Flame God…”
