"However, she is merely a female disciple who fought for power. How could I take her life?"
Lu Fan shook his head. "My purpose in coming to Tianhuo Pavilion this time was the Green Lotus Sacred Fire. Unfortunately, after so many days, there has been no progress."
"Don't be discouraged. As long as an opportunity arises, you can seize the Green Lotus Sacred Fire."
Old Man Hong Meng chuckled. "But speaking of which, Tianhuo Pavilion is heavily guarded. Obtaining the Green Lotus Sacred Fire is naturally not that easy."
"I naturally understand that!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his brow furrowing. The situation had not turned out as he had wished.
After all, if he hadn't come, Ling'er would have been an elder in the alchemy room under normal circumstances and wouldn't have had to fight with him, ending up mentally unstable and becoming a cripple.
Lu Fan had been staying in the alchemy room for the past few days, not venturing out. He was waiting for another opportunity. He heard that in a few days, there would be a selection competition among the disciples of Tianhuo Pavilion. Everyone would go to watch, and many elders would be present. This would give him a chance to sneak into the third heaven.
Lu Fan would not miss such an opportunity. After all, he knew very well that if he missed this chance, it would not be so easy to find a better one next time.
A few days later, on the plaza of the second heaven in Tianhuo Pavilion, many elders stood, their gazes fixed on the plaza, which was already crowded.
According to the rules of Tianhuo Pavilion, on this day, disciples from the first heaven could enter the second heaven to observe the duels of inner disciples. This made many outer disciples from the first heaven extremely happy.
They had never entered the second heaven before, and generally, those who could enter the second heaven were not ordinary people. Now that they had the opportunity to enter the second heaven, they were overjoyed.
At least the spiritual energy in the second heaven was much denser than in the first heaven, and it was necessary to improve one's strength here.
Lin Zhe arrived at the second heaven and looked around, his expression somewhat solemn, appearing dejected.
"After this geological survey, Senior Brother Lin Zhe can become an inner disciple. Why is he so preoccupied today?"
A disciple spoke, showing surprise.
"No!" Lin Zhe quickly shook his head.
In fact, he had been worried that something would happen today. He knew that there was still a hidden expert within Tianhuo Pavilion, and today was a perfect opportunity. If he wanted to steal something, he could do it with ease.
After searching carefully, he did not see Lu Fan. Lin Zhe knew that Lu Fan must have gone to do something else, but he dared not make a sound. Lu Fan's strength was formidable, and he could not afford to offend him. Now, all he could do was pretend that he knew nothing.
At this very moment, within the third heaven, Lu Fan observed carefully for a while before heading towards the innermost part of the mountain. He had already confirmed the location of the Green Lotus Sacred Fire and would not delay any further.
Now, the third heaven was empty, with not even an elder appearing. This was a golden opportunity.
Upon reaching the deepest part of the third heaven, Lu Fan saw a mountain cave. He could clearly feel a powerful flame force within the cave, and all the flames in Tianhuo Pavilion emanated from here.
"Is this the hiding place of the Green Lotus Sacred Fire?"
Lu Fan showed a slight hint of joy. "However, the flame power of the entire Tianhuo Pavilion is emitted through the Green Lotus Sacred Fire. If I absorb the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, won't the entire Tianhuo Pavilion fall into a state of paralysis?"
"That's right. Tianhuo Pavilion is called Tianhuo Pavilion precisely because they control the Green Lotus Sacred Fire. If you can absorb the sacred fire, the flame power of the entire Tianhuo Pavilion will instantly dissipate." Old Man Hong Meng said directly. "But it doesn't matter. It's not a big deal after all. The fact that no one has been able to absorb this Green Lotus Sacred Fire until now is enough to show that no one in Tianhuo Pavilion can absorb it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Lu Fan no longer hesitated. He stepped forward directly, heading towards the deepest part of the mountain cave, his expression becoming more solemn.
After a while, Lu Fan reached the bottom of the mountain cave. He saw a giant flame beast appear before him, resembling a phoenix. It emanated powerful flames, and its green flames were extremely dazzling.
"Is this the Green Lotus Sacred Fire?" Lu Fan muttered, feeling a bit of shock.
The Green Lotus Sacred Fire had a more powerful aura than the White Lotus Sacred Fire, and it seemed that absorbing it was not an easy task.
Roar...
At that very moment, the Green Lotus Sacred Fire let out a roar, carrying a monstrous aura, and surged towards Lu Fan. However, it was bound by two iron chains, unable to move at all. It could only emit an incredibly powerful heat, but this heat was of no use in Lu Fan's eyes.
After all, Lu Fan controlled the White Lotus Sacred Fire. The White Lotus Sacred Fire was only ranked one place lower than the Green Lotus Sacred Fire. How could a mere flame power harm Lu Fan?
Lu Fan's palm flashed with a white flame, which then grew larger and larger, finally engulfing the Green Lotus Sacred Fire. It was so simple and brutal, and utterly merciless.
"The White Lotus Sacred Fire devours the Green Lotus Sacred Fire. I wonder what sacred fire you will obtain!" Old Man Hong Meng said with a smile. "You're the only one who knows how to play."
Lu Fan touched his nose, appearing quite relaxed. The Green Lotus Sacred Fire was suppressed by the iron chains and had no power to resist. Coupled with the powerful aura of the White Lotus Sacred Fire, it could suppress the Green Lotus Sacred Fire in an instant.
At that very moment, the Green Lotus Sacred Fire transformed into a flame and was directly devoured by the White Lotus Sacred Fire. Lu Fan was overjoyed and quickly took the White Lotus Sacred Fire into his hand.
At that very moment, the entire Tianhuo Pavilion instantly lost its warmth, as if all its flame energy had disappeared.
"What's going on?"
The elders in the second heaven exclaimed, their hearts filled with shock. Under normal circumstances, the temperature in Tianhuo Pavilion could not disappear in an instant. However, there was one possibility: the Green Lotus Sacred Fire had been stolen.
"Not good, the Green Lotus Sacred Fire in the third heaven has been stolen!"
A startled cry rang out, and everyone soared into the sky, heading towards the third heaven. The Green Lotus Sacred Fire was the symbol of Tianhuo Pavilion. If something really happened, how could they face the ancestors of Tianhuo Pavilion?
"You brat, you're too daring!" Old Man Hong Meng rolled his eyes. "You swallowed it directly into your body without refining it. If it backfires, you'll be in trouble."
