Chapter 352: Yang Chen's Mission

Yun Lintian nodded his head. "I know. It's a Fire Devil, right? Previously, you had been infected by its Devil Fire. After I got rid of it, it showed itself in a spirit form resembled a devil creature."

Yang Chen slowly nodded his head. "When I entered the Devil Flame Bridge, there was a long bridge filled with intense fire in front of me. I heard everyone say that no one had ever reached the other side of the bridge before, but I actually did it with ease. Those fires couldn't harm me in the slightest."

"When I reached the end of the bridge, there was a vacant space with seven flame pillars surrounding a black creature. This creature looked like a vivid fire and was somehow suppressed by the seven flame pillars. It later tried to trick me into releasing it by using a powerful mental power."

"I was caught off guard and almost did what it wanted, but the protection that Master left in me was triggered, allowed me to get out of that place."

Yun Lintian leaned back slightly and asked. "So you don't know much about it?"

Yang Chen nodded his head. "I can't remember anything. It was as if that devil had erased my memory."

"Well, if this devil could do that, you wouldn't remember who you are by now. Also, it didn't seem to know the outside situation at all. Which means it couldn't read your memory. My guess is that it uses some sort of illusion spell on you from the moment you arrive at the end of the bridge. Everything you had seen might not be real." Yun Lintian expressed his thoughts.

Yang Chen rubbed his temples, trying hard to recall the situation, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Don't think about it for now. You should focus on recuperating first. We will figure it out later." Yun Lintian said. "By the way, what did Senior Yan tell you? He shouldn't let you go there blindly, right?"

Yang Chen glanced at Cai Xuwen and hesitated. He didn't know whether he should say it here.

Cai Xuwen noticed this and tacitly left the room. She didn't forget to erect the isolation barrier before leaving.

Seeing this, Yang Chen felt guilty slightly. His current identity was the Starry Hall's student. Yet, he couldn't completely trust his senior sister and even treated her as an outsider.

Yun Lintian naturally saw through his thought. He said. "Being cautious is good. You did nothing wrong here. Sister Cai should understand it."

Yang Chen nodded his head slightly. He took a deep breath and said. "Master told me that he left something for me in the Devil Flame Bridge. It is something that can prove my identity as his successor. I would inevitably visit the Blazing Sun Palace and fight for the palace master's position in the future. This thing would play a crucial role."

"I see." Yun Lintian immediately understood. "But this is not something urgent. You can afford to wait, no?"

Yang Chen shook his head. "No, Brother Yun. Master told me that the current Blazing Sun Palace Master is about to reach his lifespan. He will naturally choose a new successor soon. It should be five years from now on."

"Really?" Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. If that was the case, Yang Chen indeed needed to hasten his progress.

"Five years again. What a coincidence." Yun Lintian muttered to himself. Five years later, Weilan Tianjun would completely recover and came to ask for the debt on Lin Zixuan, and now this. He didn't have time to relax at all.

After a short silence, Yun Lintian said. "Well, I'll help you get it after returning from the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm."

Yang Chen was hesitating briefly. "But it's too risky. I don't want Brother Yun to get involved in this."

"Now you know it's risky?" Yun Lintian mocked jokingly. He waved his hand dismissively. "You don't have to say anything further. I'm just curious about this devil. I must see it by myself."

Yang Chen opened his mouth, but no word came out in the end. At the same time, he was grateful in his heart and vowed he would definitely repay Yun Lintian's kindness in the future.

"Since you are fine now, I will leave first. If you are uncomfortable somewhere, you can contact me directly." Yun Lintian stood up and prepared to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something and handed the jade bottle to Yang Chen. "This is Fire Spirit pill. Your soul has been injured by that Devil Fire. This will help your soul recover faster."

"Fire Spirit pill!" Yang Chen was stunned. He, of course, knew how precious the Fire Spirit pill was.

Seeing Yang Chen was about to refuse, Yun Lintian threw the jade bottle on Yang Chen's lap and said jokingly. "Take it. I have a lot of them. You can repay me when you become the Blazing Sun Palace Master. I won't be polite by then."

Yang Chen grabbed the jade bottle and responded with a firm attitude. "Definitely."

Yun Lintian waved his hand and left the room directly with Linlin. The moment he came out, he saw Cai Xuwen, Bai Qingyi, Qin Yiran, Qin Yuyan, and Lan Shuiying standing there, as if they were waiting for him for a long time.

Looking at them, Yun Lintian greeted. "It's been a while, huh?" 

"Brother Yun, I miss you~" Bai Qingyi smiled charmingly and trotted toward Yun Lintian, causing the latter to step back involuntarily.

"I know, but you don't have to come here, right?" Yun Lintian hurriedly raised his hand to stop Bai Qingyi.

Bai Qingyi paused his track and pursed his mouth aggrievedly. "Haven't seen each other for a week, and we become strangers now. How sad." 

The corner of Yun Lintian's mouth twitched. He chose to ignore Bai Qingyi and turned to Qin Yiran. "What are you guys doing here?"

Lan Shuiying spoke first. "You don't know? You have become famous all over the academy right now. Wang Jue has announced that you didn't dare to fight him and called you a coward. Everyone started saying you're overrated now."
