Peerless War God

Zhou Kuang cursed, his expression extremely displeased.    

Yan Can scratched his head, not daring to refute. He looked towards Fairy Ice Phoenix.    

Fairy Ice Phoenix nodded lightly, acknowledging Yan Can’s method.    

However, she still had to say some words. It was better to say it first.    

“Third Elder Yan, we’ve already agreed before. We’ll deal with the Flame Beasts, and the matter of obtaining the Undying Flame Crystals will depend on your Heavenly Fire Dao Sect taking the lead.”    

Fairy Ice Phoenix narrowed her eyes and said lightly. She raised this matter up again as a reminder to the other party.    

Yan Can’s face sank, and he nodded in agreement. “Yes, I know about this matter. Since we’ve already agreed, how could my Heavenly Fire Dao Sect go back on our words? It’s just that we’ll have to trouble the two of you to assist us.”    

“Mm, that’s fine.” Fairy Ice Phoenix smiled.    

“This matter is easy to talk about. Now, it’s your Heavenly Fire Dao Sect’s turn to lead the charge. Don’t shrink back before the battle, and let others look down on you.”    

Zhou Kuang said abruptly.    

Yan Can laughed dryly and didn’t say anything.    

He naturally knew that the Undying Flame Crystals would be extremely dangerous and possibly cause great casualties if they entered the lava lake to retrieve them. However, facing the temptation of the Undying Flame Crystals, he felt that taking the risk was worth it.    

As the old saying went, riches come from danger. If one didn’t risk it, how could one be willing to give up?    

However, at this moment, he wasn’t worried about this.    

He glanced at Fairy of the Ice Phoenix and said, “This matter is settled. But there’s something that makes me feel uneasy, and I’m unable to make a decision.”    

The Ice Phoenix’s brows raised when she heard this, and she discerned the meaning behind his words, causing her eyes to flash.    

“Third Elder Yan, you’re talking about these rogue cultivators?”    

Earlier, in the core area of the Earthflame Absolute Valley, the battle between the experts of the two great sects and the world shocking Flame Beasts had caused a great commotion, and it had drawn over even more rogue cultivators.    

In merely a short moment of time, close to 20 rogue cultivators had gathered here, and they were staring at this place with covetous eyes.    

If he was slightly careless, then he would definitely take the opportunity to make a move.    

This was exactly what Yan Can was worried about, and it caused him to be extremely infuriated.    

There were truly too many rogue cultivators. Even though a single or two rogue cultivators possessed extremely ordinary strengths and were extremely limited in the threat they posed to the cultivators of the two great sects, it was impossible for them to resist the large number of rogue cultivators.    

Even he had to carefully weigh the situation and act prudently.    

Yan Can nodded. “Yes. There are too many rogue cultivators. If any mishap occurs when we barge into the lava lake and obtain the Undying Flame Crystals, then these people will probably take advantage of the situation and launch a sneak attack. At that time, the situation will be extremely dangerous, and it’s practically a situation of certain death.”    

As Yan Can spoke, he had a bitter expression and was at a loss for what to do, and he was extremely worried.    

Zhou Kuang cursed when he heard this. “Oh, you’re worried about this. We can just kill these people or drive them away.”    

“Er…” Yan Can was stunned for a moment, and he was speechless for a long time.    

The Ice Phoenix Fairy rolled her eyes, and she glanced at him with a strange gaze before shaking her head and sighing repeatedly.    

This attitude made Zhou Kuang extremely anxious, and he scratched his head with a dumbfounded expression.    

“You two, what kind of attitude is this? If you have something to say, then just say it. Could it be that I said something wrong?”    

Zhou Kuang shouted loudly.    

The Ice Phoenix Fairy had a speechless expression as she said, “There are close to twenty rogue cultivators here, and the strongest amongst them possesses a cultivation at the Fourth Calamity of Immortality. With the combat strength of our two sects here, it’s utterly impossible for us to forcefully kill them.”    

“Er, then what about driving them away? That should do it, right?” Zhou Kuang spread out both his hands.    

The Ice Phoenix Fairy puckered her lips and didn’t say anything.    

Yan Can pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “It’s impossible.”    

“Why?”    

“Because they have legs, and they can run.”    

“…” Zhou Kuang.    

Zhou Kuang went completely mad when he saw this, and he cursed. “Since this is impossible, then isn’t it impossible as well? Could it be that we’re just going to sit idly by and watch?”    

He finally understood now. It was too difficult for him to use his brain.    

He shouldn’t have thought too much about it, and he just had to make a move.    

At this moment, the Ice Phoenix Fairy spoke up and said, “There’s actually no way to solve this matter.”    

“Oh?” Yan Can’s eyes lit up, and he became impatient.    

“Good disciple, you have a complete method?” Zhou Kuang said excitedly.    

Fairy of Ice Phoenix nodded and said, “It’s actually very simple. Since we can’t sit idly by and do nothing to these itinerant cultivators, we should take the initiative to take a step back. Only by taking a step back can the sea and the sky become vast and the sky become clear.”    

“Take a step back? What do you mean?” Yan Can asked in puzzlement.    

“Let them enter the lava lake to retrieve the Imperishable Flame Crystals,” Fairy of Ice Phoenix said in surprise.    

“What? How can we do that? The Flame Beasts were defeated after we suffered great casualties. Letting this group of itinerant cultivators take advantage of us for nothing. No, absolutely not.”    

Zhou Kuang immediately jumped up and down when he heard that and shouted in objection.    

On the other hand, Yan Can seemed to be very cautious. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, “Good plan. This way, we can share some of the pressure on us.”    

“…” Zhou Kuang was stunned.    

This time, he was quite angry. He stared at Yan Can and scolded, “Old man, you are deliberately going against me, aren’t you?”    

Yan Can smiled lightly and waved his hands repeatedly. “No, I just feel that Fairy’s plan is, of course, good and worth a try.”    

Zhou Kuang’s anger lessened a little when he heard that, but he was also very puzzled in his heart.    

“Good disciple, is this really feasible?”    

“It should be feasible. With so many itinerant cultivators, it is too threatening to stay outside. On the other hand, if we enter the lava lake together, the threat will be even smaller. One, we can share some of the danger for us. Two, with the strength of the itinerant cultivators, they won’t be united. Even if we can get the Imperishable Flame Crystals successfully, it will only be a few and not too many.”    

"As for three, even if these itinerant cultivators obtain the Flame Crystals, will they really be able to leave?"    

Fairy of the Ice Phoenix said gloomily.    

Zhou Kuang and Yan Can exchanged glances when they heard this, and both of them felt a wave of terror that shot straight to their foreheads.    

At this moment, there was only a single thought in their hearts.    

This move was truly ruthless and sinister.    

Zhou Kuang gasped. "Hiss, women are truly crafty. Fortunately, my relationship with my Martial Nephew isn't bad, so don't offend her in the future. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if I were to be dealt with like this."    

Yan Can laughed loudly. "Good, good stratagem. This old man admires it. We'll go and do our own things according to what Fairy says."    

The Ice Phoenix chuckled lightly. "This matter still needs Third Elder Yan to make a move, and only then will it have more prestige."    

Yan Can was stunned when he heard this. "You, you little girl, your stratagem is truly profound."    

He naturally knew that this stratagem of Fairy of the Ice Phoenix was sinister and overbearing. If word of it were to spread after this, it would be bad for her reputation, and it would surely draw curses from all over the world.    

But as the dignified Third Elder of the Heavenly Flame Sect, how could he care about this? Thus, he agreed to it.    

"Alright, I'll go."    

The Ice Phoenix bowed and chuckled lightly. "Thank you, Third Elder Yan."    

"En."    

Yan Can turned around and left.
