Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City

Chapter 1376 - 1374: You Can Still Laugh When There's No Way Out?!

After Emperor Jade's reminder, Lin Fan finally remembered that he had a place to avoid flames on him.

He quickly took out Mystic Iron Mountain and placed it in the corner of the cell.

Whoosh!

Lin Fan's figure flickered and he directly entered Mystic Iron Mountain.

Just at the moment his figure disappeared.

Bang!

The entire cell was instantly engulfed by Netherworld Ghost Fire, and all the bugs turned to ashes!

"Huff... huff... that was close!" Lin Fan landed, patting out the flames on the corner of his clothes. "What a good piece of clothing, alas, it's ruined again."

Luckily, he dodged quickly, otherwise, he would have been buried in a sea of fire.

Netherworld Ghost Fire isn't an ordinary flame, it can devour soul and Divine Sense!

Once burned by Netherworld Ghost Fire, it's not only about the pain of the flesh but also the torment of the soul and Divine Sense, which is even more terrifying than ordinary flames, and the death even more tragic!

Lin Fan had only heard of it before, this was his first time seeing it.

Thinking of the terrifying death, he couldn't help but shiver, his hair standing on end.

Moreover.

Not only was there Netherworld Ghost Fire, but before the fire, there was the sound of Hundred Ghosts' Whispers.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, shutting off his hearing, otherwise, Hundred Ghosts' Whispers would disturb the mind, dragging one into an endless abyss, never to escape.

These two deadly moves, one before and one after, seemed perfectly coordinated.

Hundred Ghosts' Whispers would make Lin Fan lose Consciousness and the ability to resist, and Netherworld Ghost Fire would ensure Lin Fan has no place for burial, with Divine Sense destroyed!

"So vicious!"

Lin Fan cursed fiercely, his eye twitching.

"Who on earth is so vicious, using such deadly moves on me, not giving me a chance to get out alive, wanting to kill me in the cell."

Emperor Jade whispered, "Could it be Lan Zhengqing? You embarrassed him, so he holds a grudge against you, and wants you dead."

Lin Fan shook his head decisively, denying, "It shouldn't be him. Anyway, this is ultimately the Fire Clan's territory, how could a Water Clan noble dare to kill someone in the Fire Clan? I don't think he dares. Even if he doesn't care about Zhu Sui, he must consider the face of the High Priest, Gong Wenya. So I guess it's not him."

"Then who else could it be? You've just entered the Five Elements Realm, haven't even met anyone, and someone holds such a great hatred against you..." Emperor Jade was speaking when he suddenly stopped. "Could it be?!"

"That's right."

Lin Fan nodded, guessing that Emperor Jade and he had thought of the same person.

He indeed hadn't been in the Five Elements Realm for long, but he did provoke one person.

"Gong Wenya?!" Emperor Jade was dumbfounded, incredulous.

"What's so surprising, do you think he couldn't do such a thing?" Lin Fan laughed, wearing an expression of calm.

"But didn't he promise not to pursue it? And he said it in front of everyone."

"Emperor Jade, you're really naive. If someone like Gong Wenya's words can be trusted, pigs would climb trees!"

Lin Fan pursed his lips. The outer cell had been burned clean, and he himself had narrowly escaped the sea of fire, but he seemed unfazed, still able to laugh.

Such a mindset is indeed admirable!

Emperor Jade didn't understand how Lin Fan had such a big heart; frankly, already cornered, yet staying so optimistic, was quite uncommon.

"Lin Fan!"

The voice of the Divine Phoenix echoed in the sky, and a black shadow burst from the clouds, rapidly flying towards Lin Fan like a bolt of lightning.

A single breath!

It came directly to Lin Fan, crashing into his embrace.

Lin Fan was almost knocked over, but he still smiled as he tightly hugged the Divine Phoenix in his arms.

Every time entering Mystic Iron Mountain, he could feel the enthusiasm of the Divine Phoenix.

This feeling was like returning home after work, someone you love and who loves you is waiting, a sense of indescribable warmth filling your heart.

However.

After just a few seconds of hugging.

The Divine Phoenix's sharp eyes quickly noticed the charred corner of Lin Fan's clothes, and she pushed away, shocked, asking, "Lin Fan, what happened here? Why are your clothes damaged?"

Lin Fan hadn't expected such a small detail would be noticed by the Divine Phoenix; it seemed she really had all her focus on him.

But he didn't want the Divine Phoenix to worry. After all, the outside world was perilous. If she knew, she would definitely be on edge for him.

The previous issue with Dongmen Buju already had her worried for a long time.

So.

Lin Fan decided not to tell the Divine Phoenix, planning to leave after the Netherworld Ghost Fire outside had extinguished.

"It's nothing, just a damaged piece of clothing, nothing major." He smiled, putting on an air of nonchalance.

But this expression couldn't fool the Divine Phoenix.

She furrowed her brows, quiet for a few seconds, examining the burnt corner closely.

Lin Fan tried several times to pull the clothes from the Divine Phoenix's hands but failed.

He also didn't dare to be too blatant, or it would just make it obvious he was hiding something.

Netherworld Ghost Fire isn't like ordinary flames; it carries extremely strong Spiritual Power. Even when extinguished, residue remains.

The Divine Phoenix gently caressed the burnt area, then sniffed it.

The next second!

She looked up in shock, staring at Lin Fan with wide eyes.

"Netherworld Ghost Fire?!"

Lin Fan was stunned, not expecting the Divine Phoenix to deduce Netherworld Ghost Fire just from such minor clues.

It seemed there was no hiding it.

If he kept it hidden, the Divine Phoenix would get angry.

He scratched his head, admitting, "You're right, it's Netherworld Ghost Fire. Didn't expect you'd figure it out from such a tiny hint."

Lin Fan tried to lighten the mood with a smile, hoping the Divine Phoenix would relax.

But the Divine Phoenix couldn't relax. Knowing the power of Netherworld Ghost Fire, she remained uneasy.

She furrowed her willowy brows, her face somber.

"What happened, how could there be Netherworld Ghost Fire? Lin Fan, tell me honestly, what happened exactly."

"Well... it's nothing serious, just a small issue I can quickly resolve. Really, no need to worry..."

"Speak! What exactly happened?"

The Divine Phoenix's sudden yell was like thunder.

Tears glistened in her eyes, knowing Netherworld Ghost Fire was trickier than anything faced before, far from the "small issue" Lin Fan implied.

Lin Fan shrank his head, looking like a henpecked husband. He knew that if he didn't tell the truth, death by fire would be the least of his worries.

Because the Divine Phoenix was definitely someone who would act.

Left with no choice, he pursed his lips, reluctantly detailing what just transpired.

"Now the cell outside is likely devoured by Netherworld Ghost Fire. I had no place to hide, so I came to Mystic Iron Mountain. But don't worry, I'll go out when the fire dies down, no risk to my life, I swear."

"So, you didn't come to Mystic Iron Mountain because you missed me."

The Divine Phoenix's soft, haunting voice made Lin Fan's hair stand on end, a chill sweeping over him, freezing him stiff.

"Ah..."

He never thought the Divine Phoenix would be this angry, truly amazing!
