The night grew deeper and deeper.

However, the ancient giant city of Wuchuan Wasteland City was becoming more and more lively, bustling with people!

Especially in the city center, it had reached the point of being "overcrowded."

Everyone knew that the demigod level alchemist Jiangg Ning had descended upon Wuchuan Wasteland City!

Apart from Jiangg Ning's world-famous identity as a Divine Refiner, there was also her world-famous absolute beauty.

Countless people wanted to catch a glimpse of her beauty, to witness her elegance during alchemy!

"Boss, I've already investigated. This Wuchuan Wasteland City indeed has a Space Transmission Array, and it's even a cross-domain Transmission Array. It was connected to the Sand Wasteland Ancient City in the Heavenly Tower Desert countless ages ago, and we can activate the Space Transmission Array to go directly there!"

Huo Yu, who had left not long ago, returned to report to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng nodded and said, "That's good!"

If they could go directly to the Sand Wasteland Ancient City from Wuchuan Wasteland City, it would indeed save a lot of journey and time.

Then, Huo Yu added, "But boss, tonight, that Space Transmission Array has already been blocked."

"Then we'll set off tomorrow," said Shi Feng.

Upon hearing that the Divine Refiner was coming to Wuchuan Wasteland City, Shi Feng was not anxious to leave and wished to have a meeting.

Then, Shi Feng turned his gaze to Huo Yu, secretly thinking: It might be necessary to utilize his identity at some point.

"Hmm? Is this demon looking at me? Staring at me without speaking, what is he plotting?" At this moment, Huo Yu also noticed Shi Feng's gaze and secretly said in his heart, as a foreboding sensation quietly arose within him.

Being looked at like this by this "demon," Huo Yu always felt that something bad was about to happen to him.

The two of them stood on a square in the central area of Wuchuan Wasteland City, which had also become "overcrowded."

On the square, it was filled with the noisy sounds of the crowd.

"Jiangg Ning! The goddess of my heart, tonight, I want to express my love to her! My love for her is true!"

"Tch! With Jiangg Ning's status, how could she fancy you? Stop dreaming, brother!"

"Hmph? Do you look down on me? Well, I won't hide any longer. Actually, my ancestor was a True God! In recent days, my father punished me to kneel before my ancestor's spirit tablet to reflect, and unexpectedly, I received my ancestor's inheritance! Hmph hmph, you belittle me today, but someday, you will look up at me with admiration!"

...

"Actually, you guys don't know, but three years ago, I had a brief encounter with Jiangg Ning. Back then, I knew she was the woman I loved most in this life! For her, I can give up everything, including all the women in my family!"

...

"You people are simply like toads wanting to eat swan meat, dreaming foolishly! Jiangg Ning is mine! Jiangg Ning is mine! Jiangg Ning is mine! Important things must be said three times!"

...

"The moment I think of meeting Jiangg Ning, I suddenly feel inspired to compose a poem with my talent: What is love in this world, in this life, only Jiangg Ning do I love!"

...

"Jiangg Ning, Divine Refinement Master! Tonight, I want to witness her divine alchemy style!"

...

"I swear tonight, in this life, I will marry no one but the goddess Jiangg Ning!"

...

"Strategy guide! Selling "The Guide to Win Jiangg Ning's Heart" penned by the world's greatest love saint, don't miss it, passersby! Take this opportunity, and Jiangg Ning is yours! And she will be yours forever!"

...

To the noisy words surrounding him, Shi Feng was simply too lazy to listen, slowly closing his eyes to concentrate, excluding all those noisy sounds from his ears.

In a moment, the world became just himself, and for him, it became a silent, soundless place.

Looking at Shi Feng, who was closing his eyes in concentration, Huo Yu didn't concern himself with this "demon," and raised his head to look at the starry night sky.

He had heard that soon, the young girl from the Jiangg family would descend from this night sky.

Thinking of Jiangg Ning, Huo Yu also recalled some events from many years ago.

Just a few years ago, the ancient Jiangg family had a genius Alchemy Master, who with one step entered the demigod level, which sent shockwaves through the entire Wilderness Continent.

At that time, there were only seven Divine Refinement Masters in the world, and Jiangg Ning from the Jiangg family became the eighth one. The Jiangg family became extraordinarily prominent.

Thus, all forces started stirring, including their Flame Sacred Land.

What they wanted was, naturally, to form an alliance with the Jiangg family! And the person the Flame Sacred Land wanted to ally with the Jiangg family was, of course, the Flame Sacred Land's first genius, him, Flame Saint Son, Huo Yu!

That time, Huo Yu, along with an elder of the Flame Sacred Land, brought countless gifts to the Jiangg family.

Upon arriving at the Jiangg family, there were already hundreds of people in front of the mountain gate!

These people all came from various great forces, brought by elders along with geniuses within their forces, intending to propose marriage with the Jiangg family, but they were all refused at the door!

Even he, Flame Saint Son, and that elder from Flame Sacred Land were no exceptions.

Not long after, an elder from the Jiangg family came out and conveyed Jiangg Ning's original words:

"Only when one of these geniuses becomes the number one talent of the Wilderness Continent, come to the Jiangg family and find me, Jiangg Ning!"

...

"Only when one of these geniuses becomes the number one talent of the Wilderness Continent, come to the Jiangg family and find me, Jiangg Ning!"

This sentence still frequently echoed in Huo Yu's ears after so many years.

Now, all these years later, it seems no one of their generation has dared to claim to be the first genius of the Wilderness Continent!

Jiangg Ning from the Jiangg family, after all these years, seems to still not have been betrothed to someone. Is it just because that person hasn't appeared yet?

"Jiangg family, Jiangg Ning!" A cold smile suddenly appeared on Huo Yu's face as he faced the night sky.

At this moment, Huo Yu felt greatly different from his usual self; perhaps this was his true self!

But now under the control of this "demon," he had no choice but to show that kind of appearance.

He had no choice but to bow his head to him.

He had no choice but to give in to him.

He could not defy his words! It was like pretending to be a minion beside him!

"Alas!" Each time he thought about these things, Huo Yu couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.

Following this "demon," although he had gained a lot during this time, without him, he wouldn't have stepped into the realm of the four-star Half God so quickly, nor obtained an Ancient Character representing the Fiery Flame Law.

But the most important freedom, he lost!

Who doesn't wish to be free and carefree? And he, Huo Yu, was originally destined to become the Sacred Lord of Flame Sacred Land, high above, commanding billions of living beings, yet the result...

The result is that he has to obey that "demon's" orders, not daring to defy! If he defied, he would suffer a fate worse than death, subjected to inhumane torture!

"Huo Yu, oh Huo Yu, if you continue like this, your fate might be like this forever!" Still gazing at the night sky, Huo Yu murmured softly to himself.
