On a high tower.
Two figures stood leaning against the railing, gazing at the enormous carcass of the Green Eagle paraded through the city streets, each with an unpleasant expression.
These were precisely Jin Ling and Shenhuo.
Suddenly, Jin Ling slamd the railing fiercely.
"Previously, I only thought his qi power was extraordinary and his foundation deep. Now it seems, I still underestimated him. Such thods to suppress and kill beings of the sa order are by no ans ordinary!"
He considered himself one of the outstanding among Nascent Soul True Masters, yet found it hard to defeat a peer in a short ti.
Not to ntion causing the opponent’s divine soul destruction, with not even the nascent soul escaping.
Taking a deep breath, Jin Ling said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Shenhuo, did you manage to discern the thod he used?"
"It should be that bizarre fla, instantaneously refining Old Ghost Mo Tian’s artifact on the battle platform,"
True Master Shenhuo replied, although there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Jin Ling frowned and directly expressed that doubt: "What strange fire can instantly refine Mount Sky Cliff, and even cause a formidable double-attribute frost and wind demon emperor like the Shuang Yin to be unable to resist?"
True Master Shenhuo couldn’t help but bitterly smile.
He was considered a master of fire control himself.
Not only did he specialize in fire attribute techniques, but he had also refined a Fourth Order Strange Fire within him, which earned him the title of ’Shenhuo.’
Yet compared to Luo Chen’s achievents, the honor of being called ’True Master Shenhuo’ seed more befitting of the latter.
"It is said that in the Yu Ding Realm there were many strange fires, though not high in order, but of great variety. Luo Chen hails from the Yu Ding Realm, and perhaps refined a certain fla, nurturing it to an extrely formidable degree."
"In my view, his fire appears white and cold, with a strong corrosive effect on magic items, perhaps specially refined using so heretic devil technique."
"To counter such a fla, one might use water to counteract it, or suppress it with righteous and honorable vast energy, the best being the power of thunder that overrides all evil."
Jin Ling instinctively shook his head upon hearing this response.
Water counters fire, yet they restrain each other, unless it’s an exceptionally powerful water attribute precious item, it wouldn’t suppress Luo Chen’s fire.
And righteous and honorable power?
Luo Chen’s whole body of qi power was without a trace of evil, and purer than anyone else’s, can vast energy truly target him?
The power of thunder...
This force is not sothing ordinary people can wield.
Even cultivators with thunder attribute spirit roots dare not attempt to incorporate the power of thunder into their bodies.
"Ultimately, we let him grow too powerful!"
Jin Ling sighed, turning to leave.
True Master Shenhuo followed and asked in distress: "Senior Brother Shenyuan instructed us to keep an eye on him, and capture him in secret if the opportunity arises. Now that the opponent is so formidable, where is the opportunity? Senior Brother Jin Ling, what should we do?"
"What should we do?" Jin Ling paused slightly, a flash of hostility appearing on his face, "This matter, let Senior Brother Shenyuan handle himself!"
When he said this, there was a tone of resentnt in his words.
True Master Shenhuo saw his back as he continued walking away and couldn’t understand where this resentnt ca from.
Senior Brother Shenyuan had always treated them exceedingly well, seeming more like a ntor than a senior brother for many years.
Which is why everyone in the Five Elents Divine Sect held him in such high esteem.
But recently, Senior Brother Jin Ling’s attitude toward Senior Brother Shenyuan grew increasingly cold and even sowhat distant.
What went wrong?
...
"The crisis in West City has been resolved."
In a peculiar space, Tian Douzi slowly opened his eyes.
Above him was the Circulation Star Battle, radiantly splendid.
Beneath him, water babbled, the black Ming Shui flowed tranquilly, like a reflecting mirror.
He sat cross-legged therein, looking at the man stepping into the space.
Lingtian City Lord raised an eyebrow, "So soon?"
Tian Douzi nodded slightly, "It was sowhat unexpected, but there was a demon emperor who quickly perished over there, leading to the demon beasts’ army losing morale and eventually retreating in panic."
"Who was the slayer?"
"It should have been Alchemy Sect Luo Chen," Tian Douzi said slowly.
A speculative tone, but the aning in his words was full of certainty.
"Him, huh..." Lingtian City Lord pondered, rubbing his chin.
Tian Douzi curiously asked: "Why do you appear unsurprised upon hearing it was soone from the Alchemy Sect? Do you truly believe in his capabilities?"
Lingtian City Lord laughed freely, "It’s not that I trust him blindly, it’s just that his remarkable achievents leave no room for underestimation. Such outstanding results now are quite expected."
"Oh?" Tian Douzi showed interest, "I didn’t know an Alchemy Concoction Grandmaster adept at Pill Refinent has achieved such glorious feats in combat fighting?"
But evidently, Lingtian City Lord didn’t want to dwell on the matter.
He withdrew his smile, face growing solemn.
"Originally, I thought if this battle lingered a bit longer, making the city cultivators suffer more, then if I clarified the stakes, they would willingly take the initiative to attack. But now with the hurried conclusion, it’s difficult to bring up that plan."
The plan was known to Tian Douzi.
He helplessly said: "Actually, there’s no need for too painful losses, everyone is reasonable, just speak directly. If you feel the pressure is insufficient, then lead the team yourself, they would respect your presence."
"Lead the team personally?" Lingtian City Lord furrowed his brows.
"Yes, once you take charge, who would dare refuse? Moreover, with guarding Lingtian Pass now, there isn’t even a fly that can enter, so what do you have to worry about?"
Tian Douzi stated.
Lingtian City Lord fell into contemplation.
Suddenly.
"Could it be, Eastern Wasteland cultivators are expected to step onto this battlefield of blood and flesh, while your esteed Dark Abyss Sect cultivators sincerely refuse to even slightly be tainted?"
