"What are we going to do? It has such a large Flame Spirit Lotus on its head, are we going to disturb the King of Hell's grave?"
"Yeah, this Flame Spirit Blood Lotus looks so ferocious, who would dare touch it..."
The cultivators were not fools.
No one wanted to confront such a colossal beast.
Ning Yan, the patriarch of the Ning family, looked at the elders and patriarchs of several major families and said, "The evolved thousand-year-old Flame Spirit Blood Lotus is difficult to deal with. It won't be easy to defeat it. We must discuss a plan!"
"Especially since the Flame Spirit Lotus is on its head, we must deal with the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus to get the Flame Spirit Lotus!"
"We should split up, surround it from all sides, and then order the younger generation to seize the Flame Spirit Lotus!"
Under these special circumstances, even families with existing grudges temporarily put aside their differences and decided to cooperate.
The elite troops led by Bai Li Ye also needed to take the lead in such a situation.
However, due to their noble status, any mishap was unacceptable.
Therefore, after deliberation among the patriarchs and elders, Bai Li Ye was placed in the middle.
Although Bai Li Ye was a prince, this was his first time encountering such a scene, and he did not wish to compete at this moment, so he tacitly agreed to the final plan of the families.
"Tong Tong, when the time comes, this Flame Spirit Lotus must belong to our Feng family!"
As Feng Guang Yao was about to head to the front with other high-ranking family members, he pulled Feng Tong Tong aside amidst the chaos and whispered, "You must be careful of Ning Ting, the eldest son of the Ning family, and Jiang Man Man of the Jiang family."
Feng Tong Tong nodded obediently and responded with feigned seriousness.
Then, Feng Guang Yao respectfully said to Immortal Xu, "Immortal Xu, I will trouble you to help me restrain the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus later."
Immortal Xu nodded generously. When his gaze fell upon the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus, he looked wary and felt uneasy.
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus before them had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for humans.
However, the highest cultivation among them was only at the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Meanwhile, Feng Tong Tong saw that the strong cultivators from the major families were engaging the beast tide and restraining the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
She curled her red lips, and countless dark lights flickered in her eyes.
She eagerly pulled Feng Ning He, saying, "Eldest sister, with father and the elders restraining the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus, let's go and get the Flame Spirit Lotus on its head!"
Feng Ning He lowered her gaze, looked at Feng Tong Tong's hand, and allowed herself to be pulled along.
After all, she was quite curious how Feng Tong Tong would still try to scheme against her in such a chaotic scene.
The family elders charged forward first, restraining the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
The elite troops led by Bai Li Ye fought their way through the beast tide.
The younger generation rushed towards the Flame Spirit Lotus on the head of the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
Along the way, Feng Tong Tong's eyes darted around, and then she let go of Feng Ning He's hand.
A powerful spiritual energy shot from her palm and slammed into the woman beside her, attempting to push her towards the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
Feng Ning He's spiritual power was weak, and getting close to the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus would only make her cannon fodder.
Even if Immortal Xu, a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage, could not save her in time.
However, Feng Tong Tong's palm did not send Feng Ning He flying; instead, her own body slammed heavily into the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
Everyone was alerted by the commotion in the distance, and no one noticed Feng Tong Tong's actions.
This collision made Feng Tong Tong's internal organs ache.
Before she could react, the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus grunted and raised its large claw, striking fiercely at Feng Tong Tong!
To the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus, this reckless cultivator had conveniently come to play near its foot.
It was determined to teach this lowly cultivator a lesson!
"Ah!"
Feng Tong Tong finally realized her predicament and screamed. She quickly got up and fled in a panic.
Her speed was fast, but the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus was even faster!
Swish, swish!
She felt a gust of wind brush past her ear as the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus's large claw swept down, severing her beautiful hair!
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus wasn't satisfied and spat fire from its mouth.
Flames surged towards Feng Tong Tong's hair.
"Father! Save me! My hair!"
Feng Tong Tong roared hysterically and quickly used her spiritual power to extinguish the flames.
The fire was extinguished, but her hair...
Her scream successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Feng Guang Yao suddenly strode towards Feng Tong Tong!
Having narrowly escaped death, Feng Tong Tong collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
"Feng Tong Tong! What are you doing! Look at you now, how can you face anyone?"
Feng Guang Yao suppressed the raging fire in his chest and glared furiously at Feng Tong Tong.
Feng Tong Tong then remembered something and frantically reached up to her head.
As she touched it, she felt nothing but emptiness.
Her beautiful hair had been completely burned off!
Feng Ning He covered her mouth in surprise, but her tone was filled with unconcealed schadenfreude, "Third sister, why are you bald? Are you planning to become a nun?"
At this moment, Feng Tong Tong was disheveled, her pride and joy, her beautiful hair, had been burned away, leaving her with a bald head.
"Ah! Feng Ning He, it's all your fault!"
Without her hair, Feng Tong Tong flew into a rage and charged at Feng Ning He like a madwoman, "You made me lose my hair, and you won't keep yours either!"
At this moment, she was like a beast with fangs and claws, completely devoid of the demeanor of a young lady from a noble family, her bald head gleaming in the sunlight.
"Enough!"
Bai Li Ye, who was in the crowd, was the first to step forward to 'save the damsel in distress.'
He grabbed the frantic Feng Tong Tong, "You're already like this, why aren't you hiding? Do you want everyone to know that the third young lady of the Feng family has become bald?"
Even worse, Feng Tong Tong was his fiancée.
Did this embarrassing waste want to ruin his reputation as well!
Sensing Bai Li Ye's anger, Feng Tong Tong finally calmed down and looked around.
The younger disciples of other families, who were also entangled with the demonic beasts and fighting against the beast tide, were shocked and surprised. They wanted to laugh but couldn't due to the current situation.
Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she felt utterly humiliated.
Bai Li Ye did not forget to approach Feng Ning He to claim credit, "Ning He, I know your spiritual power is weak, and you are definitely no match for Tong Tong. Don't be afraid with me here."
Feng Ning He frowned, "Your Highness, our relationship is not yet intimate enough for you to call me by my name."
The more she appeared cold and unapproachable, the more Bai Li Ye was captivated.
Bai Li Ye, without regard for Feng Tong Tong standing beside him, said softly, "Alright, alright, I'll do as you say. I know you have some misunderstandings about me from the past, and I can explain it slowly."
Feng Tong Tong was even more furious, wishing she could curse him out, but thinking of her bald head, she could only grit her teeth and hide.
The younger disciples from other families saw this scene and felt miserable.
What kind of situation was this?
They still had the leisure to be jealous, compete for affection, and talk about love?
However, it was not entirely Bai Li Ye's fault for not feeling any tension.
For this trip to the secret realm, his priority was to gain experience, and obtaining the Flame Spirit Lotus was secondary.
After all, as a prince, as long as he participated in this secret realm, even if he didn't obtain the Flame Spirit Lotus in the end, the family that did would have to hand over half of it to him.
Originally, Bai Li Ye had intended to make a grand appearance in this secret realm.
But now that the Flame Spirit Lotus had mutated and reached the Nascent Soul realm, it was a level he could not easily deal with. Even if he didn't get it in the end, it wouldn't be shameful.
This was why Bai Li Ye was so unhurried.
