However, they understood that their ability to enter the seventh layer this time was due to the protection of the Divine Emperor Cauldron.
Otherwise, for them, who were at the Spirit Emperor realm, entering the seventh layer of the fire domain would have been a pipe dream.
Within the sixth layer of the fire domain, Qing Long and the others stopped, gazing at the seventh layer of the fire domain with a touch of emotion in their hearts.
"Big Brother, this seventh layer of the fire domain is not a place for ordinary people!"
Zhu Que spoke, "If we enter rashly, our lives will surely be in danger!"
"How could I not know!"
Qing Long frowned, "But the situation has reached this point, and I don't know what to do!"
"Big Brother, we are the King's Divine Guards, and we are not under the jurisdiction of the Young Master!"
Xuan Wu stated, "Why don't we go back and report this matter to the King!"
"They are father and son after all, and we are merely guards!"
Qing Long said frankly, "To be enemies with the Young Master will lead to no good end. You must remember what I say!"
Xuan Wu's expression shifted, and he nodded slightly. Qing Long's words were all reasonable, and he truly had no grounds to refute them.
Not long after, Qing Long and the others left the sixth layer of the fire domain.
Upon seeing their figures, Bai Hu frowned, "Where are they?"
"Young Master, we are incompetent and allowed them to escape into the fire domain!"
Qing Long cupped his fists, "The flames in the seventh layer of the fire domain are extremely terrifying, and your subordinate could not enter!"
"Hmph, truly a bunch of trash!"
Bai Hu snorted coldly, his eyes filled with ice, "As the Four Great Divine Guards, to be so incompetent, if my father emperor knew, he would not be lenient!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Please forgive us, Young Master!" Qing Long quickly cupped his fists.
"Since it is your dereliction of duty that allowed them to enter the fire domain, you shall guard this place!"
Bai Hu stated, "Wait until they appear again, then take action against them!"
"But I still need to report back to the King!" Qing Long frowned.
"I will handle it!" Bai Hu waved his hand. Qing Long wanted to say more, but Bai Hu turned and left.
As Bai Hu departed, Qing Long and the others stood stunned, feeling helpless.
"Big Brother, do we really have to guard this place?" Zhu Que was somewhat unwilling.
"It seems we have no choice but to do so now!" Qing Long said with a bitter smile, "As long as they don't come out, we cannot leave!"
"As the Four Great Divine Guards, to be ordered around by the Young Master!"
Xuan Wu cupped his fists, "It's truly meaningless!"
"Do not speak carelessly. The King has shown us great kindness, and these words must not reach his ears!" Qing Long reminded.
"Although the King saved us back then, we have also been loyal to him for so many years!" Zhu Que said frankly, "Big Brother, have you ever considered leaving the Eighth Prince's Mansion from now on!"
"The King has shown us great kindness, how can we leave!"
Qing Long shook his head, his gaze becoming solemn, "From now on, do not speak such words!"
Zhu Que was somewhat helpless and said no more, but this thought was in his heart.
After several months, the power of the flames within the entire fire domain remained strong. Qing Long and the others guarded their positions, feeling somewhat bored.
"It's been a month, and there's been no movement in the fire domain. Could they have escaped!" Zhu Que exclaimed in surprise.
"With us guarding here, they don't have the ability to do so!"
Qing Long shook his head, confident about this.
However, just then, a strong gust of wind surged, and the flames within the entire fire domain instantly became turbulent, spreading outwards with boundless ripples. Even more terrifyingly, amidst the vast expanse of flames, there were faintly discernible strange fire seeds.
Qing Long and the others stepped towards the outer perimeter to avoid being harmed, unaware that a figure had infiltrated the fire domain.
Within the seventh layer of the fire domain, the white-haired old man gazed at the divine cauldron before him, a slight touch of emotion in his heart, "It's actually the Divine Emperor Cauldron. This kid truly has great fortune!"
Not long after, the white-haired old man secretly left the fire domain with the Divine Emperor Cauldron.
"Big Brother, did you see a figure just now?"
Zhu Que asked curiously.
Qing Long shook his head, "Perhaps you saw an illusion. There was no figure!"
Zhu Que paused, then gave an awkward smile, "Perhaps so!"
Not long after, within the Sword Furnace, Chen Banxian's figure stopped, and he then tossed out the Divine Emperor Cauldron.
"You kid, you should come out!"
Lu Fan, who was inside the Divine Emperor Cauldron, was somewhat surprised. He, who had been in seclusion, instantly extended his divine sense and found that they were not in the fire domain.
A moment later, Lu Fan retracted the Divine Emperor Cauldron, and everyone else also appeared in the Sword Furnace.
"So it was a senior who made the move!"
Lu Fan said with a hint of gratitude, cupping his fists.
"You kid, I asked you to deliver a brocade pouch, and you got trapped in the fire domain!"
Chen Banxian glared, "You made me wait a whole month. If I hadn't received the news, I wouldn't know how long I'd be waiting foolishly!"
"Senior was waiting for me?" Lu Fan asked in surprise, "Why?"
"How did Shen Xian Gu react last time when I asked you to deliver something?" Chen Banxian asked excitedly.
"They didn't react much!"
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, his expression indifferent.
Chen Banxian frowned, "No reaction at all? That shouldn't be the case!"
"You old man, if you have feelings for someone, you should be bolder!"
Lu Fan said frankly, "Only then will there be a chance! Otherwise, are you still waiting for the girl to make the first move!"
Chen Banxian was slightly stunned, "You're right, very right!"
"When she saw the brocade pouch, she seemed to have changed completely. It seemed to have affected her state of mind, and she directly went into seclusion!"
Lu Fan stated, "In other words, she has feelings for you, and very deep ones at that!"
Chen Banxian was thrilled. This was perhaps the answer he most wanted to hear.
Duan Tianya and the others successively emerged from the Divine Emperor Cauldron. When Duan Tianya saw Chen Banxian, his body trembled violently.
"Divine Dragon Hall Master!"
As soon as he spoke, the elders also knelt down, not daring to show any disrespect. Even Duan Tianya knelt on the ground with reverence.
"Divine Dragon Hall Master?"
Lu Fan glanced at Chen Banxian, "Old man, it seems you have quite a reputation! Even the Heavenly Fire Pavilion Master knows your name!"
Duan Tianya stood stunned, his heart filled with shock. He could never have imagined that Lu Fan could speak to the Divine Dragon Hall Master in such a manner.
One must know that within the entire White Dragon Dynasty, the Divine Dragon Hall was the greatest power, and even the White Dragon Dynasty had to be wary of it.
The reason for this was that the Divine Dragon Hall Master was no ordinary person. It was even rumored that the Divine Dragon Hall Master had already reached the Saint realm.
"So annoying, I have been living in seclusion in the Sword Furnace for many years, and I am no longer the Hall Master!"
Chen Banxian complained, "I just want to live a normal life, why won't you let me!"
Everyone present exchanged glances, naturally not expecting Chen Banxian to speak in such a manner.
"It is our fault. We beg for your forgiveness, senior!" Duan Tianya and the others cupped their fists, not daring to show any disrespect.
"You may rise! This old man is just speaking casually!" Lu Fan smiled faintly.
