Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss - Chapter 262
Chapter 262: Earth Fire
In a cavern residence of Xuantian Sect.
Yun Yiyi and a few disciples lowered their heads as they listened to Bai Zhijing’s reprimand.
There were still some problems with the new disciples entering the inner sect assessment.
“As pro-disciples, you are in charge of the order of this assessment. Yet, you let a bunch of disciples cause trouble successfully. How can you not suppress them? I fully doubt your abilities.”
Bai Zhijing pointed at a group of disciples dressed in green robes and said angrily.
None of the disciples below dared to respond.
“All of you are simply a disgrace to our Xuantian Sect!”
Bai Zhijing said in frustration.
“Elder Bai, it’s not our fault. Who knew that they would have such an intense reaction to the beasts!”
Senior Brother Jiang said.
All kinds of obstacles were waiting for the disciples in the assessment.
Twenty years ago, in the new disciples’ assessment like the inner sect assessment, one of the obstacles was to kill the beasts.
Back then, when the group of disciples saw the beasts, they either fled, resisted or waited for death.
In short, a large portion of them would withdraw when they saw the beasts.
In this year’s assessment, for some reason, many disciples went crazy after seeing the beasts, and even their pro-disciples were unable to stop them.
“Strong reaction? But they are also new disciples. Each of their cultivation is only below the Spirit Manipulation Realm. And all of you are Perfected Person warriors.”
No matter what, they had never heard that Perfected Person warriors could not restrain Spirit Manipulation Realm warriors.
Angry!
She kept feeling that the disciples of the Xuantian Sect were getting worse and worse with each generation.
If they went on like this, how could they fight?
“Elder, I think there is a problem with the disciples going crazy. Could someone be plotting against us?”
Another disciple with five golden stripes in green said.
“This matter will be investigated by the elders. You guys should reflect on yourselves first.”
Bai Zhijing said and left.
She left a group of disciples to look at each other.
“Those are our junior brothers and sisters. We can’t use force to restrain them when they go crazy.”
“I can’t do anything to them either.”
“Shhh, keep your voice down. Yun Yiyi is here. It’s not good for you to talk about Elder Bai like that, right?”
“There are definitely bad people causing trouble in the sect!”
“Now that you mention it, I think so too. The last time the sect revealed that the grand ancestor was still alive, when I went out to travel, the entire world learned about it. This news spread too quickly.”
… …
Yun Yiyi carefully listened to the conversations of her senior brothers.
She very much recognized that there were bad people in the sect.
This bad person was probably not only among the disciples but also among the elders.
It was said that back then, there was a pro-disciple who betrayed the sect when he was competing for the position of sect master. It could be seen how deeply some people hid.
“The traitors of the sect have hidden very deeply. If even the elders couldn’t find them, then what should we do?”
The group of disciples frowned.
There must be spies in the sect, and the elders knew it.
The elders must have been searching in secret for many years.
There was nothing they could do if they couldn’t find them.
“I wonder if the grand ancestor is here? If he is, he will definitely find the traitor!”
“Why?”
“Legend has it that a powerful warrior at the Semi-god Realm possesses powerful divine consciousness and can kill people with just a thought. Isn’t it a small problem to find a few bad guys?”
“But how can we meet the grand ancestor?”
“Humph! What we can think of, you think the elders never thought of it? It should be the elders meeting the grand ancestor. I’m afraid that the grand ancestor has been in closed-door cultivation all the time. It is not something that anyone can meet the grand ancestor just because he wants to.”
A green-clothed senior brother with five golden stripes in the center said.
The other senior brothers agreed with him.
Even Yun Yiyi nodded in agreement.
It was true that the grand ancestor was not easy to meet. Her master and the sect leader had searched many times but could not find him. The only person in the sect who was related to him was Li Jiao.
She tried to get information from Li Jiao many times but failed.
However, she could occasionally receive the grand ancestor’s voice transmission.
Speaking of which, after so many years, why did the grand ancestor stop looking for her?
“Yun Yiyi!”
At this moment, a familiar voice popped out in Yun Yiyi’s mind?
“Am I hallucinating? What comes to mind?”
“I have an Earth Fire here. Find a place to arrange it.”
The voice sounded again in the center of her consciousness.
Yun Yiyi’s body trembled.
It was true!
It was the grand ancestor, not an illusion.
“What? Earth Fire!”
After recovering, Yun Yiyi was confused.
She didn’t listen to the grand ancestor’s words at all. To be exact, after hearing the grand ancestor’s voice, she became absent-minded.
“Find a place where Earth Fire can be stored.”
“Oh?”
Earth fire.
The grand ancestor got the Earth Fire for the sect?
Earth Fire!
That was something sacred to alchemists.
Not only could it be used to refine high-level pills, but it could also cleanse one’s essence and marrow. In addition, disciples who cultivated the fire element could absorb the essence of the Earth Fire to achieve cultivation.
After the Earth Fire was used, it could also be used as a barrier to test the disciples of the sect.
“Junior Sister Yun, what’s wrong?”
The surrounding disciples were still discussing the matter of the sect’s spies. At this time, Yun Yiyi suddenly said something about the Earth Fire?
Where was the Earth Fire?
“It’s nothing!”
Yun Yiyi covered her face and said.
“Junior sister, I heard you mention the Earth Fire just now. Did you discover the Earth Fire?”
“What’s the use of discovering the Earth Fire? It’s the territory of the Strange Fire Gold-swallowing Beast. How can we snatch it? Nonsense!”
Speaking of the Strange Fire Gold-swallowing Beast, the group of disciples was discouraged again.
This kind of beast that was accompanied by the Earth Fire grew by devouring the strange fire. When it reached adulthood, it would be a Virtual Realm expert.
It lived in the core of the Earth all year round and flowed with the Earth Fire.
When someone tried to steal the Earth Fire, it would sweep up the Earth Fire and escape.
Even a Semi-god Realm expert couldn’t do anything about it.
“Right, the Earth Fire is just my imagination. It would be great if there were one!”
“The Earth Fire can’t differentiate between spies! If our sect had the Heart Fire of the Heaven Fire, we would definitely be able to differentiate between spies.”
“It’s hard to even get the Earth Fire, yet you’re still thinking about the Heart Fire! I would think about the Soul Fire then!”
… …
While the seniors and juniors were discussing, Yun Yiyi quietly slipped out.
Then, she quickly ran towards her master’s carven residence.
In the main hall of the Xuantian Sect.
Wang Qian’an held his communication jade token and fell into deep thought.
The other elders stared at Wang Qian’an for a while, then turned back to look at the elder beside him.
“This strike from the Roc clan of Shangqing Region has stunned almost all the demon clan. The demons that couldn’t unite have now fallen apart.”
The elder with a black beard and purple-blue robe pinched his beard and said.
He was somewhat gloating.
“What’s the Roc clan’s motive for doing this?”
“As long as it’s not aimed at us humans, it doesn’t matter what their purpose is!”
“Speaking of which, this Roc clan is protecting a human genius. No matter how you look at it, it’s a bit awkward.”
“Who would believe this kind of news? Many years ago, the Roc clan and the Dragon clan were fighting to the death over this Li Mu. As long as you’re not a fool, you can see that there’s a problem.”
“What’s the key problem?”
… …
In an underwater crystal palace, several dragons were also thinking about the actions of the Roc clan.
“It’s still the same saying. If you don’t understand, then don’t pay attention to the Roc clan. They can play however they want. Stay cool where we are would be the safest.”
“We are only guessing what the Roc clan wants to do. It’s not like we really need to do anything.”
“Escort the human genius! Hehe… So soon, they have already secretly colluded with the Human clan.”
“Fourth Elder, no matter what, the growth of the Human clan is a great threat to the Dragon clan.”
“We have already hidden at the bottom of the sea and retreated from the rivers on the Continent. Even if the Human clan grows, it will be a headache for the other Demon clan. It has nothing to do with us.”
“It has nothing to do with us, but it is difficult for the Dragon clan to get rid of it.”
“He is just a genius. So what if he becomes a Semi-god Realm warrior?” The fourth Elder said. He paused for a moment and then continued, “If that kid becomes a Semi-god Realm warrior, he will kill the orcs first, and then the Demon clan. The Roc clan will surely raise a stone to smash their own feet.”
“So, we are just going to wait and see how that Li Mu grows up?”
