Meanwhile, David was in his inn room, meditating and making final preparations for his journey to the Red Flame Canyon.
The next day at Chenshi (7-9am), outside the south gate of Chiyan City.
David and the Red Cloud Demon Lord arrived at the meeting point on time.
More than twenty people had gathered here, including ten recruited guards and more than ten Earth Fire Pavilion disciples and administrators.
In front of the group, three majestic carriages were parked, each pulled by a four-headed Crimson Flame Beast.
The Crimson Flame Beast was a third level spirit beast that resembled a fine horse but was completely crimson with flames burning on its four hooves. It has extremely high endurance and is suitable for long journeys in the Realm of Fire.
At 1:15 am, a white-haired and young-faced old man, wearing a dark red robe, walked out of the city gates surrounded by his disciples.
The old man had a friendly face, but a sharp glint appeared in his eyes as he opened and closed them. His aura was as deep as the ocean, and he was clearly at the peak of the eighth rank of the Heavenly God Realm!
He held a red jade scepter in his hand, with a fiery red gemstone the size of a fist embedded in the top, emitting a hot yet gentle aura.
“Greetings, Elder Yanxin!” The members of the Earth Fire Pavilion bowed in unison.
The recruited guards also bowed quickly.
This was Elder Yanxin, one of the three great alchemy masters of the Fire Earth Pavilion.
“Go ahead, everyone, no need for formalities.”
Elder Yanxin said in a gentle voice, “I thank you for your protection on this trip to the Red Flame Valley to collect this Fire Spirit Grass.”
“Before we leave, there are a few things I would like to convey: Deep within the Crimson Flame Gorge there is a Fire Dragon, which is fierce in nature and has strength equivalent to a ninth level Heavenly God.”
“Our goal is to quickly collect enough Fire Spirit Grass and retreat before the Fire Dragon notices. Therefore, speed and safety are extremely important in this mission, and we must avoid direct confrontation with the Fire Dragon as much as possible. Do you all understand?”
“Understand!” everyone answered.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Elder Yanxin got into the middle carriage.
The convoy drove smoothly along the wide official road outside Red Flame City. The Red Flame Beast, with its four hooves treading on fire, pulled the chariots at quite a high speed.
The guards followed on horseback or flew along the sides of the convoy, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
David and the Red Cloud Demon Lord chose to fly, as this would provide a wider view and allow them to respond to any unexpected situations.
As David flew, he quietly felt the unique fire attribute spiritual energy of the Fire Realm. His reverse chaotic immortal power circulated within him, adapting and absorbing this intense yet pure energy.
After traveling for about half an hour, the convoy entered a reddish brown hilly area.
The temperature here felt higher, and there was a faint smell of sulfur in the air.
Just then, the carved wooden window on one side of the front carriage, which had been closed, creaked open slowly.
A very beautiful face peeked out from behind the car window.
She was a girl who looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, with snow-white skin, beautiful features, and a pair of eyes that were bright and fiery like burning flames.
She wore an exquisitely styled hair bun, decorated with a red jade hairpin, and a flowing fiery red fairy dress with a lifelike golden crow pattern embroidered on the bottom.
Even though she was still young, her beauty was already very stunning, especially the natural elegance and vitality between her eyebrows, which made her unforgettable.
The girl’s gaze swept over the group curiously, finally settling on David, who was flying in the air.
Their eyes met.
David saw it too.
Those fiery eyes were filled with unconcealed curiosity and inquiry, as if they had discovered an interesting new toy.
David was a little surprised, then nodded politely and looked away.
However, this eye contact attracted the attention of many people around them.
