Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Ao Rong, Whose Mind is Completely Destroyed

"What did you say?"

Lu Chen’s body shook, and he heavily slapped Ao Rong’s lower abdomen.

This palm was infused with Spiritual Power, but unlike before.

The slap nearly forced Ao Rong’s internal organs to come spilling out!

"It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me..."

Ao Rong hastened to speak, fearing that he’d make Lu Chen angry and have to endure the endless pain as before.

Lu Chen had repeatedly wounded him, burned him, and then healed him over a dozen times.

He had long since lost the will to live.

Ao Rong would rather beg for death!

"If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be? Otherwise, how did you snatch the Ice Spirit Pearl from her hands!"

Lu Chen was furious, nearly shattering his back teeth from clenching them so hard, his eyes bulging with rage yet still clinging to the last thread of reason!

At least, Qin Yaotiao was still alive!

"It was the woman with the Wood Spirit Power!"

Ao Rong said hastily, "They originally entered this place together, almost ruining our plans. We wanted to stop them but didn’t expect the woman with the Wood Spiritual Root to suddenly regain consciousness and knocked the other unconscious!"

"After that, the woman with the Wood Spiritual Root stood there in a daze for a long time, as if she had remembered something, and then she left with the woman you’re looking for!"

"The Ice Spirit Pearl was left behind by them, I just picked it up!"

Desiring a swift death, Ao Rong blurted everything out in one breath before he began to gasp heavily, calming his own breathing.

He needed Lu Chen to calm down.

He needed to calm down as well!

"Gone?"

Lu Chen’s emotions eased somewhat as he inquired, "Where did they go?"

"I don’t know, they flew off in that direction."

Ao Rong could only turn his head and awkwardly point his mouth in one direction.

Lu Chen looked in that direction, but his view extended endlessly, just as when he had first arrived in the wasteland.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze.

Li Yanran had lost her memory.

However, she should be inherently kind and quite clever, unlikely to cause wanton trouble as long as Ji Pavilion wasn’t endangered.

"Yaotiao should be safe."

After pondering for a while, Lu Chen finally sighed with relief.

However, this place was a forbidden area within the Haotian Secret Realm, with danger lurking everywhere.

Not to mention the beasts he had encountered; if it weren’t for using Ao Rong and the others, plus having the Ice Spirit Pearl, he feared he might have also perished here.

He shifted his gaze back to Ao Rong, then beckoned with his right hand, and the Heavenly Inquiry Spear without any wind automatically flew into his hand.

"What’s this Ice-Strange Fire you mentioned earlier?"

Ao Rong, determined to die, knew there was no turning back the moment he decided to speak.

Whether one secret or two, it made no difference!

He was going to die anyway!

"Ice-Strange Fire is a mysterious type of Spiritual Fire that is very rare and suits those of us with an Ice Spiritual Root to cultivate."

It sounded similar to other Spiritual Fires.

But Lu Chen’s Ice-Strange Fire was derived from Earth Fire that had been controlled and refined by the power of Wen Tian.

It was different from Ice-Strange Fire that naturally formed and grew on its own...

There must be some differences, right?

"Does this Ice-Strange Fire, with its extremely low temperature, work the same as Spiritual Fire?"

Lu Chen asked the question he was most curious about.

"The same, except Ice-Strange Fire emits the power of ice and flame. It can be used on rare materials, or in alchemy, or in Artifact Refining. It’s all fire, just manifested differently,"

Lu Chen began to understand, but to know how it really functioned, he would have to try it himself. Unfortunately, he had no opportunity at the moment.

As he thought this, he heard Ao Rong say, "However, pills refined with Ice-Strange Fire will have certain icy properties, and the same goes for Magic Artifacts."

"Icy properties?"

These two words weren’t unfamiliar, but put together like that, Lu Chen had never heard of them.

The closest thing undoubtedly was Ao Yu’s mysterious innate nature.

"It’s like," Ao Yu thought for a moment, then said, "if you reforge the ice fan again with Ice-Strange Fire, when you later use it with Ice Spiritual Power to command ice-related spells, the power will be stronger!"

Now, Lu Chen finally understood.

But he wouldn’t easily trust anyone’s words; he had to try it out for himself.

Lu Chen gave a slight nod, then coldly said, "One last question, if your answer satisfies me, I will let you die painlessly!"

Ao Rong suddenly became somewhat agitated, "I shall tell all I know, not holding back anything! Whether it’s one question or ten, it’s all the same to me!"

"Good."

Lu Chen thrust the Heavenly Inquiry Spear forward, but instead of piercing Ao Rong’s body, it propped up his back, helping him sit up from the ground.

"Tell me everything about how you came to this place, from beginning to end!"

This question took Ao Yu by surprise. After a moment of shock, he counter-questioned, "Won’t you ask me where the treasure is?"

"Treasure?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Just answer my question."
