"Zhu Feng, how's the progress?" Hong Qiang was also overjoyed to see Zhu Feng, and his tone was extremely warm and enthusiastic, as if he had seen his own child.

  "Is this enough, senior?" Chu Feng said as he took out a piece of sealed ice from his Qiankun bag.

  This piece of Ice Seal is only the size of a palm, but it's exactly what Hong Qiang needs. Of course, if this amount isn't enough, Chu Feng still has some, after all, he currently possesses an amount equivalent to what an entire Ice Seal Village would have.

  "That's enough, it's already sufficient."

  "I really didn't expect you to succeed so quickly, did you cheat? Didn't you encounter any danger?"

  However, for the results shown by Chu Feng, Hong Qiang was very satisfied, and he didn't even think that Chu Feng could get Bing Xue Ice so quickly.

  But amidst the joy, he was also very concerned about Chu Feng, fearing that Chu Feng would encounter difficulties in obtaining this seal of cold ice.

  "The story behind this is a bit complicated, but it's not stolen. The village chief of Yin Feng Ancient Village gave it to me as a gift, so you can use it with peace of mind. We used our hearts and did what was right." Chu Feng said.

  "Is it a gift?" Upon hearing this, Hong Qiang was even more surprised, and then nodded his head in great approval, saying: "You little guy, you truly exceed my imagination."

  "That ancient village of Yin Feng holds the Frost of Yin Feng as their most precious treasure, something that can't be exchanged even with one's life, let alone other treasures."

  "And you, young man, have actually received such a large piece of Ice Seal, it's truly unbelievable." Hong Qiang said this with not only praise but also deep admiration.

  He knew that even if he were to do it himself, he wouldn't be able to achieve the same results as Chu Feng. At most, he could only use his own methods to steal Yin Feng's Frost Crystal in Yin Feng Village, and there was no way he would be given it.

  "Hong Qiang, senior, this deep-sea red pearl hasn't been used yet, I'll return it to you." Chu Feng took out the deep-sea red pearl.

  Originally, Hong Qiang had let Chu Feng steal into the Ice Seal and leave this deep-sea red pearl behind to compensate for the losses of the Ice Seal Village.

  However, Chu Feng didn't need this Deep Sea Red Pearl now, so it naturally should be returned to its rightful owner.

  "Alas, you've been working so hard all along, I'll give this to you as compensation."

  "Don't decline, you must accept it, otherwise I won't give you the lotus seeds." Hong Qiang said with a playful tone, but his intention was not to withhold the lotus seeds from Chu Feng, rather he just wanted Chu Feng to keep the deep-sea red pearl.

  "This...alright, Chu Feng thanks Senior for the kind intention." Since Hong Quan had said it to this extent, Chu Feng truly had nothing good to say, and could only put away the Deep Sea Red Pearl.

  "Senior, when are we going to deal with that Blazing Iron Lotus? Chu Feng was eager to settle the Blazing Iron Lotus, obtain the lotus seeds and then head to the Jieyun Union."

  "Are you in a hurry?" Hong Qiang asked with a smile.

  "There is indeed." Chu Feng nodded.

  "Haha, I know why you're in such a hurry," Hong Qiang said.

  "Did Senior know?" Chu Feng was somewhat surprised, thinking that perhaps Hong Qiang knew about the Eastern Emperor Clan leading a large army to the Jie Shi Alliance.

  "Is it because of this?" Hong Qiang said as he pulled out an invitation letter.

  The invitation letter was issued by Qingmu Mountain, and on it were written four big characters: Nine Postures Hunting.

  "Luoye Zhulin also received an invitation from Jiuxing, and Hong Qiang is going, right?" Chu Feng was somewhat surprised that Luoye Zhulin had also been invited.

  But for Chu Feng, this was a good thing. After all, Hong Qiang was on his side, and if anything happened in Qingwu Mountain, Hong Qiang would definitely help him, so Chu Feng was very concerned about whether or not Hong Qiang would go.

  After all, if Hong Qiang can go, then Chu Feng also has an extra trump card.

  "I like being carefree and don't bother with such things, nor do I care about the opinions of those major powers towards me. Anyway, my brother is one of a kind, has no worries, and isn't afraid of their hostility towards me."

  "In fact, after subduing this fierce Iron Lotus, I was preparing to leave the Falling Leaves Bamboo Forest."

  "But this time, the Ninth Hunting Moon is being held at Qingmu Mountain, so I'll go just once. Not for anything else, but to help you little brat boost your morale."

  Hong Qiang said it in a subtle way, but he also revealed his intention. He is going to participate in this nine-style hunting game, and the purpose is to help Chu Feng.

  "Thank you, senior. You are really kind to me," Chu Feng said with a smile.

  "Don't mention it, you've come all the way from the Eastern Sea Domain, alone and without any support. I should be taking care of you more."

  "So rest assured, as long as it's within my capabilities and beneficial to you, I'll definitely do it." Hong Qiang said with a smile.

  "My senior is so good to me, I'm really unable to repay him, but if I have the ability in the future, I will definitely repay my senior." These words of Chu Feng were heartfelt.

  "Haha, I believe you, kid. You're trustworthy."

  "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. We'll deal with the Blazing Iron Lotus now." Hong Qiang took over the Seal of Frost and Ice, and headed towards the place where the Blazing Iron Lotus was sealed, while Chu Feng followed closely behind him.

  "Chu Feng, just wait here for me. Later on, I need to unseal the Blazing Lotus Flower, and it's inevitable that a great battle will ensue. I'm afraid you might get implicated." After arriving at the location where the crystal coffin was placed, Hong Qiang stopped Chu Feng in his tracks.

  "Alright, I'll wait for you here then." Chu Feng nodded without insisting.

  "Ah, the Flame Iron Lotus is tough to deal with, but I now have the Seal of Frosty Ice in hand, so I still have some confidence."

  "But, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just fear one in ten thousand. You calculate the time well, if I haven't come out after an hour, you quickly leave, not just leave here, but also leave Luoye Bamboo Forest, go as far as you can, and never come back."

  "If I can't defeat the Flame Iron Lotus within an hour, then I will definitely be the one to lose. The Flame Iron Lotus has been sealed for so long and its evil energy is extremely strong. If it's allowed to escape, it will surely go on a killing spree, and wherever it passes, all living things will be destroyed, not even a blade of grass will survive."

  "The junior understands." Chu Feng nodded again, but also recognized the severity of the situation. Indeed, as he had expected, even with the Ice Seal in hand, Hong Qiang did not have a 100% guarantee to subdue the fierce Flame Iron Lotus.

  Hong Qiang, this is risking one's own life for a chance, a chance to get a treasure.

  But this is also human nature. After all, wealth and honor are hard to come by, and if you want to become a superior person, but don't even have the courage to do so, then it's impossible.

  After this was settled, Hong Qiang left and entered the place where the sealed Lianhua of Blazing Flames was. For Chu Feng's safety, he specially set up a defensive formation along the way.

  That defensive barrier was not to prevent Chu Feng from entering, but to prevent the fierce flame iron lotus from escaping. He was afraid of accidents, so he set up these barriers. These barriers could gain some time for Chu Feng to escape when an accident occurred.

  After Hong Qiang left, Chu Feng didn't idle around either. He took out another piece of Sealing Frost from the乾坤袋, which was twice as large as the one Hong Qiang had taken away, about two palms in size.

  Chu Feng took out the Seal of Cold Ice and placed it on the ground, then used his boundary power to draw a boundary array with the Seal of Cold Ice as the center.

  This is a sealing array, called Sealing Sword, which is specially used to seal the Flame Iron Lotus, this heavenly and earthly wonder.

  This Seal of the Sword is extremely mysterious, perhaps even Hong Qiang doesn't know such an array, and such an array, naturally isn't something Chu Feng himself obtained, but rather something he obtained from the Nine Spirits Divine Diagram.
