Everyone was stunned when they heard what Chen Xiao said. Could there be such a coincidence?

Chen Xiao then smiled and said, "Besides, we had already agreed to go to the island again. Let me call him now and ask about his situation."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh. This was probably fate.

Chen Xiao immediately called Sun Buzhou.

"Hey, Chen Xiao, what a coincidence. I was just about to call you these few days, but you called me first."

Sun Buzhou said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

Chen Xiao also smiled slightly and said, "Brother Sun, to be honest, I have an urgent matter and want to go to that deserted island you mentioned last time. Are you ready? When can we leave?"

When Sun Buzhou heard this, he laughed heartily, "Haha, I've been ready for a long time, and I'm in Jiaonan City right now. It's just that an old friend saw me and insisted that I stay with him for a few days. Whenever you come over, we can leave at any time."

"Okay, Brother Sun, I'm in Qingcheng now and will leave immediately. I'll be in Jiaonan City later."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your call. We'll talk when we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao immediately prepared to leave.

Li Mu pleaded, "Mr. Chen, please take me with you this time. Don't worry, I will definitely not hold everyone back, and only I know the method to repair the Seven Fiends Blood Banner."

Chen Xiao smiled, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go. Let's go, everyone go together!"

Then, everyone left the airport and headed to the train station.

Qingcheng Airport had no flights to Jiaonan, so everyone could only take the high-speed train.

The high-speed train sped away. The journey from Qingcheng to Jiaonan was only a little over two hours.

Watching the scenery outside the window receding rapidly, Chen Xiao's mood finally wasn't as heavy as before.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was in a good mood, everyone else relaxed as well. After all, it was only natural for Li Mu and Li Qin to be happy that their great revenge was avenged.

However, Chen Xiao's gaze at Li Mu was a little strange.

"Mr. Chen, why are you staring at me like that? You're making me feel uneasy."

Li Mu said with an awkward smile, his eyes darting around.

His evasive eyes only proved his guilt. Chen Xiao said coldly, "Something's not right. You're hiding something from me!"

Li Mu was stunned, then smiled bitterly, "Mr. Chen, I'm impressed. You can see through everything."

"Ah? Brother, Brother Chen, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Li Qin looked blank.

Gu Zhendong didn't speak, but frowned. He didn't know what Li Mu had lied to Chen Xiao about. Could something bad happen?

Then Li Mu said guiltily, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. Actually, I've been hiding something about the island."

Chen Xiao said blankly, "Just tell me what's on the island. I don't need the other nonsense."

"Okay."

Li Mu sighed and slowly said, "On that Icefire Island, there lives a monster. That monster is like a snake but not a snake, like a dragon but not a dragon. It is extremely powerful and can breathe fire. It is the guardian beast of the Scarlet Blood Wood. Hundreds of years ago, my ancestor fought a great battle with it in order to obtain a branch of the Scarlet Blood Wood. Although he was lucky enough to get the branch, he was also injured by the monster and died less than half a month after returning home."

"Back then, my ancestor had the strength of the peak Jindan (Golden Core) stage, but he was still no match for that monster. Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the probability of that monster dying naturally is very small. Moreover, I think its strength has increased a lot."

"I didn't tell Mr. Chen before because I was worried that Chen Xiao would be worried..."

Chen Xiao understood that Li Mu was worried that he would be afraid and wouldn't go to the island. In that case, his family's heirloom, the Seven Fiends Blood Banner, would never have a chance to be repaired.

Chen Xiao saw through Li Mu's little thoughts at a glance, but before he could speak, Li Qin said unhappily to Yang Mu, "Brother, why didn't you say something like this earlier?"

Even his own sister wasn't helping him. Li Mu said with an embarrassed expression, "Actually, I didn't plan to hide it. I wanted to tell you when we got to the island."

The people present were not ordinary people, so they didn't find it difficult to accept monsters that had lived for hundreds of years, but they all knew that the difficulty of this trip had increased again.

At this time, Chen Xiao snorted coldly, "Fortunately, you said it in advance. If you had waited until we got to the island, it would have been too late!"

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Li Mu became nervous when he heard this.

Chen Xiao said lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, what you're talking about should be a Zhujiuyin (Torch Dragon), but it should only be a juvenile. Otherwise, with your ancestor's Yuanying (Nascent Soul) stage strength, it would have been impossible for him to retreat completely after fighting it!"

"It's actually a Zhujiuyin? That's a legendary divine beast!"

Gu Zhendong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Chen Xiao nodded, "It is indeed a legendary divine beast, but divine beasts grow slowly, and their growth cycle is measured in tens of thousands of years. Hundreds of years will not produce a qualitative change for it. However, Zhujiuyin will release a kind of fire poison at all times. If ordinary people approach it, they will die from poisoning even if Zhujiuyin doesn't attack them."

"That's why I said it's fortunate that you said it in advance. If we don't prepare, we will definitely die from poisoning when we meet it!"

There was one thing Chen Xiao didn't say. Not everyone would be poisoned. With Chen Xiao's strength, that fire poison had almost no effect on him, but it was hard to say about the others.

Especially Li Mu, who was the weakest and not much stronger than ordinary people. If someone were to die, he would be the first to die!

Hearing this, Li Mu was even more afraid, "I'm sorry, everyone. Fortunately, Mr. Chen reminded us, otherwise, I would have almost made a big mistake."

"Alright, let's just let it go this time. Pay attention in the future, and don't try to play tricks in front of me."

Chen Xiao said lightly.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, I understand."

Li Mu replied obediently, secretly vowing in his heart that he could never play tricks with Chen Xiao again in the future.

Gu Zhendong then asked, "Chen Xiao, you said we need to prepare. I don't know what we need to prepare to resist this fire poison?"

Chen Xiao said lightly, "A Qingxin Dan (Heart-Clearing Pill) is enough. When we get to Jiaonan, let's buy some medicinal herbs. I'll refine some Qingxin Dan for you."

"Chen Xiao, you can also refine pills?"

Gu Zhendong asked incredulously.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said lightly, "Qingxin Dan is just the most basic pill, refined from Coptis chinensis, talc, licorice, cinnabar, mint, and rhinoceros horn. When we get to Jiaonan, let's first buy these medicinal herbs, and then I can refine the pills!"
