Chapter 3447 — Arriving at Fire Flame Mountain

Yu Yi had been teased and needled by Shen Yushu the whole way, but he accepted it. Who had told him to play the villain in front of Shen Yushu before? Being teased now was only natural. Leaving aside the fact that Shen Yushu was a young lady of the Yu family, even with Wei Zhao sitting right there, he wouldn't dare act out of turn!

At last, the desert ahead gave way to a place that looked like a mountain stronghold. A gate appeared before them, blocking their path! Of course, they could have gone around it, but instinctively Wei Zhao felt that this was their destination!

"Is this Fire Flame Mountain?" Wei Zhao compared the map Yu Yi had given him and asked.

"It should be." Yu Yi had never actually been there himself; it was just that in this direction, this was the only place that could possibly be their destination.

While everyone was still puzzling over it, two men in fiery red robes suddenly appeared in front of Wei Zhao's car and shouted at him and the others, "This is private land! If you're explorers, turn back. We don't take explorers here, and it's very dangerous!"

Wei Zhao rolled down the window, glanced at the two men, and asked, "Is this Fire Flame Mountain?"

The two men were slightly taken aback. Hearing the words "Fire Flame Mountain" come out of Wei Zhao's mouth, they immediately grew wary. "Who are you? What's your purpose here?"

With that, the two of them simultaneously revealed their early Heaven Rank strength. In their eyes, since Wei Zhao knew of this place, he might well be a cultivator too; they were displaying their power to intimidate him.

After all, early Heaven Rank was no weak existence, even by the standards of ancient times.

Putting away his phone, Wei Zhao nodded to Yu Yi and said, "Let's go, shall we set off now? Did you drive here?"

"Uh... no..." Yu Yi looked a little embarrassed. He was a cultivator, and when it came to travel he rarely drove; he walked, keeping to the old martial-arts ways.

"Then I'll drive." Wei Zhao didn't say much more. The three of them left the courtyard and got into the Grand Cherokee. Fire Flame Mountain lay deep in the Hakunamata Desert, so Wei Zhao had a rough idea of the direction.

"Sorry to trouble you, Young Hero Lin!" Yu Yi nodded and conscientiously sat in the back, leaving the passenger seat to Shen Yushu.

The car headed all the way toward the Hakunamata Desert. Wei Zhao had driven this road back and forth many times and knew it well, but this time there was a touch of sorrow to it.

In the car, Shen Yushu looked here and there as before, curious about everything, but Wei Zhao could still see that trace of loss in her eyes.

Even though she didn't show it, Wei Zhao could sense it. He didn't call her out on it, though; instead he joked and laughed with her the whole way, chatting about all sorts of interesting things, including what had happened with the Song family earlier and the business of the Second Young Master of the Five Luminaries Sect being killed.

"Haha, that Old Ancestor Xuanchen of the Five Luminaries Sect must be furious! Most of his disciples were crippled or killed by you. He really had bad luck, going against Brother Arrow Brand!" Shen Yushu laughed heartily, then said with a touch of mockery, "I don't know why those hidden Yu family people are so afraid of this Five Luminaries Sect. What a bunch of cowards!"

Yu Yi, sitting in the back, felt rather awkward hearing this. He thought to himself: You have Wei Zhao backing you up, so of course you're not afraid! But we are! The Five Luminaries Sect can't do anything to Wei Zhao, but wiping out the Yu family would be child's play to them.

Besides, no one had known back then that Wei Zhao would grow into someone this powerful. The first time he'd heard of Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao had been a mere Mystic Rank expert, and in the blink of an eye he stood at the very peak of the entire cultivation world. Who could explain such a transformation?

"All right, Xiao Shu. Some things have to be faced eventually. You can't go your whole life without seeing the parents who gave you life, can you?" Wei Zhao said with a bitter smile. "And when that time comes, I'm afraid Xiao Ning won't be happy either, will she?"

"Ugh, fine. Then I'll listen to Brother Arrow Brand. Whatever Brother Arrow Brand says, that's what we'll do!" Shen Yushu nodded.

Chatting and laughing all the way, the three of them finally entered the Hakunamata Desert. Fire Flame Mountain, however, lay in a completely different direction from the Poli tribe—the desert was vast, and the two were poles apart.

The desert was already hot to begin with, but as the car drove on, the weather grew hotter and hotter. They must be getting close to Fire Flame Mountain.

Wei Zhao and Shen Yushu were fine, but Yu Yi was drenched in sweat! He had once been the strongest among them, yet now he couldn't very well complain; he could only endure it silently, though by the end the heat nearly made him faint dead away.

Then Wei Zhao turned on the car's air conditioning, and Shen Yushu laughed herself silly.

"Young Hero Lin, why didn't you turn on the air conditioning sooner..." Yu Yi, feeling a little better, said somewhat gloomily.

"Who told you not to say anything? We thought you weren't hot. I only turned it on just now when I saw you were about to keel over," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Xiao Shu and I were fine. Not having the AC on didn't bother us."

"Yeah, yeah, we were perfectly comfortable," Shen Yushu nodded and said.
