Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 211: The Ghost Didn’t Harm Me in the Slightest(Bonus)

Chapter 211 - 211: The Ghost Didn’t Harm Me in the Slightest(Bonus)

Lu Jun shook his head and looked at the vast, majestic White Sand River ahead, endless and crossing through the Scorching Plains. He no longer thought about the Ancient Capital Abyss.

He would eventually go to the Ancient Capital, whether it was for the large-scale war to further awaken the White Tiger Pendant or for that certain item.

At this moment, Zhao Yulin turned his head, his gaze sweeping past Lu Jun in front of him. His expression remained calm, without any fluctuations.

He ignored the nearby siblings and said to everyone, "What do we do now?"

The group looked at one another. The Ghost Widow said in a raspy voice, "Zhao Yulin, no need to rush. Based on my calculations, the next wave of Heavenly Tribulation Fire is about to begin."

"After the heavenly fire passes, the demons of Dunhuang Scorching Plains will be wiped out, and the Shawang River will be suppressed. At that time, the land will be filled with heavenly treasures without any monsters obstructing us."

"And the Calamity Fire Fruit will mature during this time. We can easily obtain it."

Hearing this, Zhao Yulin and the others were overjoyed. He reminded, "Thankfully, Jiang Feng, you've lived in the Scorching Plains and know more than any major force's hunter. This gives us an edge."

"Everyone must keep this secret strictly. Not a word must leak to a third party. Anyone who dares to reveal it kill without mercy!"

At those words, everyone snapped to attention and nodded quickly. Someone nearby even nodded wildly.

"Naughty," Lu Mei glared at the 'third party'—her brother her eyes playful and charming.

What was clearly a tense and thrilling stalking operation had somehow been turned into a comedy act by Lu Jun.

Of course, if she imagined things from Zhao Yulin's perspective, it instantly turned into a horror movie.

Lu Mei imagined for a moment if she were alone at home, showering, sleeping, and resting, while being secretly observed by some invisible person the whole time...

Suddenly, her entire body shuddered. A chill ran through her heart. She clung tightly to Lu Jun's arm, holding it even more firmly.

Lu Jun watched helplessly as his face was smothered by snowy peaks and buried in the valley, nearly suffocating.

"What kind of disgusting magic is this," Lu Mei complained and said fiercely, "Hmph, if you dare use this magic at home without my permission, I'll beat you to death."

He seemed to understand something and reassured her, "Don't worry, sis. Psychic-type mages at Intermediate Level, Level Four are extremely rare. Besides, my magic is likely influenced by Ding Yumin's talent and the Mind Palace."

"In reality, it's not that perverted. If someone has mental strength above the third realm, discovering me is basically guaranteed."

Rumble rumble rumble!

The group stood by the Shawang River. Before long, the heavens and earth suddenly roared and trembled.

The sky was filled with clouds like fish scales, boiling and churning. The firmament collapsed like crimson tidal waves stacked upon one another, layer after layer, crashing down.

Seeing this, Lu Jun and the others gasped. Even from such a distance, they could clearly sense its vast and terrifying might.

The Ghost Woman seemed to remember something. Her hideous, burned face twisted beneath white cloth wrappings. She growled with deep hatred, "The Heavenly Tribulation Fire is here!"

The northern corner of the Scorching Plains continued to rumble. The ground split with countless cracks, and hundreds of streams of magma surged across the land. Sky-covering flames roared.

From a bird's eye view, centered around a towering ancient tree, rings of flame ripples spread outward like a mighty lotus of fire blooming across the vast plains.

For a moment, everyone in Dunhuang City took notice: "What's happening in the northern Scorching Plains? Go check it out!"

The Heavenly Tribulation Fire came quickly and left just as fast.

Lu Jun looked at the wide White Sand River ahead, repeatedly battered by towering fire waves.

There were even streams of magma pouring into the gravel, producing sizzling sounds as thick, black smoke billowed into the sky.

When it calmed down, the White Sand River had turned into a Red Sand River, with scorching heat rising.

Most of the White Sand Demon Soldiers had fallen into slumber. Those who failed to dodge in time turned into ashes. The northern Scorching Plains became flat and barren.

"Excellent." Zhao Yulin's eyes sparkled. "With no demons in our way, we move immediately."

Over a dozen Intermediate Mages were invigorated. They crossed the Shawang River and rushed toward their destination.

Along the way, Zhao Yulin picked up over a dozen Fire Elemental Seed Fragments.

He even found a genuine Fire Element Soul Seed Earthfire, deep crimson in color and shaped like a lotus, its destructive power greatly enhanced in magma regions.

As for the rest of the fire-element materials, they were even more abundant mostly auxiliary materials for forging Fire Elemental Magic Tools, cultivating Soul Seeds, or enhancing fire-element cultivation.

This included the corpses of fire-element demons that perished in the Flame Calamity collecting exotic bones and blood was basically pure profit.

However, these weren't the Ghost Widow's objective. She kept urging everyone forward, heading toward the central Flame Mountain.

Lu Jun didn't break away from the team to scavenge magical materials. He simply followed behind Zhao Yulin at a slow pace.

What was that saying? While the neighbors hoard food, I stock up on guns once the Ghost Widow's handled, won't all these fire-element materials be his anyway?

Rumble rumble on the way, the team encountered demons. A large group of Twin-Faced Rock Turtle Demons blocked their path and were hunting down a dusty group of young men and women.

At first, Zhao Yulin wasn't going to intervene, but then he spotted some familiar figures among them his eldest nephew Zhao Manyan and his own daughter Chen Ying.

At the same time, Zhao Manyan spotted them from afar and shouted in delight, "Uncle, help me!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

Zhao Yulin's expression shifted. He quickly stepped forward, his pupils glinting a brown hue. Behind him, layers of earthy-yellow Star Atlas emerged, outlining a powerful constellation.

Advanced Earth Magic: Eye of the Rock Fiend.

In an instant, a cone-shaped force of petrifying energy spread out toward the group of Twin-Faced Turtle Demons. A wide stretch of gray-white brilliance enveloped the area hundreds of meters ahead. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Crack crack crack! A series of petrification sounds rang out as numerous Warrior-Level demons froze in place and crumbled into flying ash.

The remaining Twin-Faced Rock Turtle Demons, with metal-like shells on their backs, were terrified and quickly retreated.

Zhao Manyan wasn't even surprised by the scene—after all, he'd witnessed Mo Fan unleash the Advanced Fire Magic Heavenly Flame Funeral before. He simply praised, "Uncle, you're awesome as always!"

After taking care of the demons, Zhao Yulin approached and frowned. "Zhao Manyan, Chen Ying, what are you doing here?! This place is dangerous."

Zhao Manyan explained, "We got separated from our team when the Flame Calamity hit."

"Forget it." Zhao Yulin didn't bother to pry further. "It'll be hard to get you out of here any time soon. Just stay with my team. We'll look for your friends along the way."

Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou, He Yu, Xin Xia, and Lingling all agreed without objection. They weren't particularly worried about Mo Fan's safety.

Unlike the original story, Mo Fan had already reached the Advanced level in Fire Magic. His elemental control and fire resistance had improved dramatically, making him incredibly powerful—he was practically in his element in the Scorched Wilds.

Before being forced to split up, they had already agreed to regroup at the central Flame Pillar Mountain.

Thus, they smoothly merged into the team.

Lu Jun and his sister, who had been hiding within the group all along, witnessed everything, but they didn't reveal themselves and continued to lay low—like two top-tier lurkers.

Soon, Chen Ying spotted the Ghost Woman, whose entire body was wrapped in white cloth. She exclaimed in shock, "Mother, you're here too?!"

At that, even Lingling and the others were stunned. Zhao Manyan was even more shocked. "That's your mother? Wasn't she a man?!"

Then, with a complex expression, Chen Ying recounted a story from the past—how "Jiang Feng" had used a Wind Element Magic Tool to send Zhao Yulin out to safety but had fallen into the Flame Calamity herself, suffering severe burns.

In the end, she said, "I didn't expect Father would actually bring Mother here during the Flame Calamity to find the Flame Calamity Fruit to heal her body. I guess I misunderstood him."

The Ghost Woman also revealed the truth behind the events of that year—nine truths mixed with one lie, illusions blended with reality—and had purposely acted mentally deranged.

The group's emotions were hard to describe. Eventually, they reached Flame Mountain, which stood beneath the Star Whispering Sky Tree.

The colossal tree stood alone under a night sky full of stars. Its trunk reached so high it seemed to grow into the starry dome above, with dense branches twisting out in all directions.

Looking up from the base, the treetop seemed to be adorned with countless shining stars. The sheer beauty of it made it feel like your very soul was being cleansed by the scene.

Suddenly, a fiery silhouette drifted down from the mountain peak. Its aura was immense, and the pressure it emitted was overwhelming—like a monarch descending.

Everyone was shocked and braced for battle, but the Ghost Woman stopped them. She stepped forward with a smile and said, "Don't worry. She may be a demon, but she's kind-hearted and won't harm humans."
