Chapter 205 Swallowing the Vermillion Fruit
Chen Guan had just picked up the red fruit when he looked up and saw Xiu Jieming, whose body had returned to normal, looking at him. He forced a smile and said, "Commander Xiu, how about I give you the Heavenly Fairy Peony?"

Xiu Jieming shifted his gaze from Chen Guan's face to the alchemy furnace that was as tall as a mountain. The golden light inside was flowing, and it seemed as if immortal energy was rising.

"With so many people in the world, living a few more lives doesn't mean much." After Xiu Jieming finished speaking, he climbed onto the white tiger, turned around and walked down the mountain.

Chen Guan was slightly surprised. He looked at Brother Kouzi, and each of them summoned the Night-Showing Lion Horse. They jumped on the horses and followed Xiu Jieming down the mountain.

The fog was thick and the clouds were deep when they went up the mountain, but it was much easier when they went down. The fog became thinner as they went down, but they did not see Xiu Yingmei and others who came up with them.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, they heard a fierce roar from a bull, and then saw a bronze bull with broken horns running wildly from the foot of the mountain.

"It didn't die after falling from such a high cliff?" Chen Guan thought to himself.

The bronze bull saw Chen Guan and the others, but ignored them. With red eyes and a twisted head, it rushed all the way to the top of the mountain.

"Don't go... the white deer has already escaped..." Chen Guan shouted twice, but the bronze bull seemed not to hear him. It rushed into the clouds and flew towards the top of the mountain.

"You have such a stubborn temper." Brother Button shook his head and laughed.

The three continued to walk down the mountain, and soon they returned to the Guqingniu Temple. They saw that the people who had just gone up the mountain with them were already at the foot of the mountain.

When Xiu Yingmei saw Xiu Jieming and Chen Guan coming back together, she was surprised and happy, but also a little bit unbelievable.

She kept praying in her heart that Chen Guan would not meet Xiu Jieming, for fear that Chen Guan would be killed by Xiu Jieming.

But now they came back together, it seemed that they met, but for some reason Xiu Jieming did not attack Chen Guan.

Xiu Jieming asked about the situation of several other people. They all got separated after going up the mountain and each had different situations.

Some people walked down the mountain, while others walked in the clouds for a while and saw a Taoist temple. They found some things in the temple, so everyone gained something.

Xiu Jieming led the team directly away from Cuiyun Mountain. After returning to the base, they packed up their things and were ready to leave.

"Are you okay?" Xiu Yingmei found an opportunity to talk to Chen Guan alone, her heart full of doubts.

Xiu Jieming did not say what he encountered on the mountain, and after returning, he did not mention killing Chen Guan again.

Xiu Yingmei asked Xiu Jieming what to do with Chen Guan. Xiu Jieming simply said, "He's just a small-time Chen Guan. He's insignificant. Whether he's dead or alive is irrelevant. It's not worth worrying about. Let him fend for himself."

Xiu Yingmei was shocked, because Xiu Jieming didn't say that before.

However, Xiu Yingmei was very happy about this and did not dare to ask any more questions, for fear that Xiu Jieming would change his mind again.

But she was very curious and wanted to know what happened on Cuiyun Mountain, which made Xiu Jieming want to let Chen Guan go.

"I'm fine, thanks to Commander Xiu, otherwise I would have been in real danger this time." Chen Guan briefly recounted the battle between Xiu Jieming and the Holy Horned White Deer.

Xiu Yingmei was stunned after hearing this. After Chen Guan finished speaking, she said in disbelief, "Impossible? Big Brother saved you from Bai Lu?"

This kind of thing is like a fairy tale to Xiu Yingmei. How could Xiu Jieming save Chen Guan? He didn't even have time to kill Chen Guan.

"I can't believe it either, but it's true." Chen Guan was still a little confused.

Xiu Jieming not only didn't come to kill him, but actually saved him. He also didn't take the Celestial Peony from Chen Guan, likely tacitly allowing Chen Guan to return it. Meanwhile, inside the camp, Wen Yutao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In a quiet place, he produced a sound-transmitting jade talisman and said to it, "Mission accomplished. We're returning now. Xiu Jieming didn't attack Chen Guan, nor did he obtain the Golden Elixir."

Afterwards, he recounted the details of the trip to Cuiyun Mountain. After sending the message, Wen Yutao finally felt relieved.

He originally thought that with his own abilities, nothing would go wrong, but he didn't expect to get lost in the last section of the road. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when he returned.

Xiu Jieming's team was ready to go, and Chen Guan and Button Brother were waiting to see them off.

Seeing that the team had already passed by, Xiu Jieming stopped his mount, but did not look back. He just said lightly: "I am waiting for your challenge. The winner will be the protagonist."

After saying that, Xiu Jieming led the team away.

Others didn't know what Xiu Jieming's inexplicable words meant, nor did they know who he was talking to.

Chen Guan and Button Brother knew very well in their hearts that Xiu Jieming was talking to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan looked strange. "So he heard what I said. Did he take it seriously? Is that why he didn't attack me?"

Although I feel that this matter is a bit magical, it is still a result that exceeds expectations.

One less enemy is always a good thing. At least now Xiu Jieming has no intention of taking his life.

However, if Xiu Jieming really attacks Chen Guan, it is not certain who will die in the end.

Chen Guan already had a plan in mind, but it was not put to use.

However, Chen Guan himself was not 100% sure that his plan would succeed, and this result was the best.

Chen Guan did not go to Mudan Mountain to return Tianxian Peony, but took Tianxian Peony back to the reserve team.

Hundreds of thousands of little flower demons are in my hands. This is no joke. I have to earn the money back first before I can return the Heavenly Fairy Peony.

Brother Button also returned to his regiment. With this experience, he acquired two unique secret skills. His future achievements will not be too low. If he really gets enlightened, he may achieve great things.

Whether he is a dragon or a worm depends on his own ability.

Chen Guan returned to the reserve team, completed his mission, and earned a lot of points.

He was not in the mood to care about these things now. After returning to his dormitory, he took out the red fruit and compared it with the other red fruits.

At first glance, they do look very similar, but if you look closely, you can see that this red fruit is indeed different from the other red fruits, and is very similar to the one Yanzhi ate.

"It's you." Chen Guan had no better choice but to gamble his luck with this red fruit.

After witnessing the battle between Xiu Jieming and the Holy Horned White Deer, Chen Guan knew that it was extremely difficult for him to kill the Secret God now, and there was almost no hope.

Instead of continuing to waste time, it is better to take a gamble with the Zhu Fruit. Since Yanzhi can become a secret god with the help of the Zhu Fruit, then I should not be too bad either.

The moment he put the red fruit into his mouth, the originally hard red fruit melted immediately. After it flowed into his stomach, Chen Guan suddenly felt a burning sensation in his stomach.
