The Eternal Suprem - Chapter 215
Chapter 215: You Kill One of My People, I Destroy Your Whole Family!
Thousands of miles up, a dozen warriors stood in the air, looking down silently.
They were divided into two groups. The three men at the front were Zhu Jin, Xin Pi, and Ao Dijia while the rest behind them were the experts sent by the various aristocratic families of Firecrow Empire. Their cultivation base was much weaker than the three men in front, so they dared not to come forward.
They had been following behind Xingyang Huo, wanting to see the ending. Even when the Supreme Palace was wiped out, they watched from afar without doing anything. Xingyang Huo knew he had been followed by this group of people, and although he was angry, there was nothing he could do.
Zhu Jin crossed his arms over his chest as he stroked his chin and frowned while saying, “There’s indeed something strange about this city of Yanwu. What do you think is the array inside that little pagoda? I can’t believe it can resist Xingyang Huo’s Bluelotus Earth Fire and block our divine senses. It’s extraordinary!”
Xin Pi was suspicious too. He squinted at the pagoda, but he could not see through it. “Did the City Lord of Yanwu really wipe out the Xingyang family?” he said doubtfully. “This is absurd! Even the imperial family of Tianshui doesn’t have this kind of strength. But the pagoda…”
The pill pagoda was only four to five meters tall and about a dozen meters in circumference. It was built to hide the Divine Realm Tablet, so its appearance was ugly and had no sense of aesthetics.
No one would have expected that there was a space mystic artifact inside. After all, this kind of thing was so rare that even the imperial family of the Firecrow Empire had never seen one before. Therefore, everyone thought the pagoda was supported by an array.
With an uncertain look on his face, Ao Dijia said softly, “I wonder what is the maximum range this array can defend. The pagoda is really ugly, but there must be something very important inside. Otherwise, it would not be protected by an array like this. From what I can tell, this array is comparable to those small mountain protection arrays.”
His words immediately set the others thinking. If this array could be enlarged, its value was immeasurable. Xingyang Huo’s Bluelotus Earth Fire was almost as strong as an attack of a genuine Martial Emperor, and yet it could not destroy the pagoda’s array.
If they could have the array as their courtyard protection array, then the defense of their whole families would be strengthened. And when they were struck by calamities similar to that of the Xingyang family, they would not be wiped out in an instant.
At the thought of that, the eyes of those experts from various aristocratic families lit up, and they stared unblinkingly down below, waiting for the result.
Although Xingyang Huo’s eyes were closed, he was extremely shocked inside. The Bluelotus Earth Fire had been refined by him, and like a warrior’s mystic weapon, they were already spiritually connected. At that moment, he clearly sensed that under the burning of his Earth Fire, the pagoda was not damaged at all.
“If I had this array, my family would not have been wiped out!” Xingyang Huo ground his teeth in hatred. “I must get my hands on this array!” He looked up and glanced at the sky, his face gloomy. “Sooner or later, I’ll play each of these bast*rds to death!”
He produced an incantation seal and threw it into the blazing Earth Fire. The flames soared, and their color grew brighter.
Suddenly, a dark cloud swept over the sky, blocking the sunlight a little.
“Who goes there?”
Startled, Xingyang Huo looked up, and his divine sense exploded out. He saw a little Bluewolf chariot, and then a beam of light fell out of it.
A strange young face appeared in front of him. The young man’s eyes gleamed like stars, and his body exuded a fierce killing intent that made even Xingyang Huo, a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster, shiver!
Thousands of miles up, Zhu Jin’s pupils constricted abruptly as he cried out, “It’s him!”
Ao Dijia and Xin Pi were startled while Zhu Jin said incredulously, “It’s this young man! Is he really from Yanwu?” After that, he murmured to himself, “What a cunning young man. He brought all our eyes to the Supreme Palace, who was unlucky enough to be inexplicably wiped out!”
Ao Dijia flexed his neck, his eyes flickering as he said, “I wonder if this Supreme Palace has anything to do with those major sects in the North. I’m worried that this is going to have a huge impact and give northerners an excuse to cross the region, and then we will be in great trouble!”
Xin Pi wore an indifferent face, and no one could tell his current mood. He just said coldly, “The source of this incident is this young man, and it is Xingyang Huo who destroyed the Supreme Palace. What does it have anything to do with Firecrow Empire?”
His attitude was clear. If something serious really happened, they would just push the responsibility onto these two people.
The Martial Grandmasters of the various aristocratic families were looking down in surprise as well. Among them were two elders of the Zhou family—Zhou Chu and Zhou Xing—and they were shocked and suspicious.
Yanwu had been under the watch of the Zhou family, and according to the recent investigation, the Cauldron of Five Elements auctioned by the Myriad Treasures Store was most lightly robbed by Yanwu. But, they found it hard to believe the finding. Even though the Myriad Treasures Store was rumored to be behind Yanwu, it was impossible for them to offend the Zhou family for a mere Cauldron of Five Elements.
The elder of the Cheng family, Cheng He, was astonished as well. With a strange look in his eyes, he glanced at Zhou Chu and Zhou Xing. The three of them exchanged a look, and they were all astonished and felt it hard to believe. How could a mere Yanwu offend two major aristocratic families at the same time? Had it not been for what happened to the Xingyang family being too strange, which struck fear into all aristocratic families and prevented them from doing anything rashly, the Cheng family would have sent someone to destroy Yanwu. Now, it seemed that things were indeed not as simple as they imagined.
“Who are you, boy?” Xingyang Huo asked in a deep voice. His face looked ferocious in the flickering light of the flames.
Li Yi, who was almost roasted through, looked up in pain, and then he immediately jumped to his feet as if he were struck by a bolt of lightning. “Li Yunxiao! My…my lord! He is Li Yunxiao! The City Lord of Yanwu, Li Yunxiao!”
Up in the sky, Zhu Jin’s heart twitched violently, and his face grew solemn. Although he had suspected this when he saw Yunxiao show up, he was still shocked to hear Li Yi confirm it. The others felt the same.
Yunxiao fell into the flames with a cold face. The roaring Bluelotus Earth Fire seemed unable to hurt him, and was even showing signs of retreat. An icy cold voice came out of his mouth, “Who are you?”
Xingyang Huo was shocked. His Bluelotus Earth Fire was a strange fire of the heaven and earth, extremely brutal and powerful, and even a Martial Emperor dared not take it head-on. It was in order to refine this fire seed that he neglected his cultivation base. Otherwise, he would have stepped into the Seven Constellations realm. However, after refining the fire, even a one-star Martial Emperor would not dare to fight him. But, this boy was just a one-star Martial Lord, so how could he resist his strange fire?
Yunxiao’s body sizzled and burned in the Bluelotus Earth Fire, but he was unharmed. A flaming cloud flashed between his eyebrows, vivid and lifelike. Meanwhile, the flames around him moved away from him as if they had met something extremely frightful, forming a layer of vacuum.
“My lord, he’s the one who destroyed the Xingyang family and framed the Supreme Palace!” Li Yi gnashed his teeth and roared. ‘It was all Li Yunxiao’s fault! He not only caused me to lose my wealth and glory, my arm, and all the treasures that should be mine, but even made me suffer here! I wish I could bite him to death!’
When Li Yi saw a vacuum zone appear around Yunxiao, he thought it was Xingyang Huo’s deliberate action, for fear of burning Yunxiao to death and not getting the answer. So, he hurriedly said, “My lord, this boy is very cunning! Kill him now to avenge everyone!”
Even the others in the sky thought that Xingyang Huo had deliberately created a vacuum zone so as to not kill Yunxiao directly.
“Do I need you to teach me what to do? Get out of my sight!”
Xingyang Huo snapped angrily and glared at Li Yi. A stream of fire immediately transformed into a fist, smashing toward Li Yi.
“Extreme cold energy!”
Li Yi was scared out of his wits, and he hastily rotated his energy to the maximum speed.
Boom!
Under the impact of the flaming fist, all his extreme cold energy defense was shattered in an instant, and he was knocked back with flames burning all over, rolling and tumbling for a few streets before coming to a stop.
Luckily, he did not die.
He was in such great pain that he rolled and struggled violently on the ground. But, the Bluelotus Earth Fire was not that easy to extinguish. He hurriedly rotated his extreme cold energy, and surprisingly, he managed to control the flames, causing it to weaken slowly.
The extreme cold energy was modified from the Beiming Dark Energy, the ultimate cultivation technique of the Beiming Dark Palace, who was a super sect in the North. So, it was very powerful. Although Bluelotus Earth Fire was not easy to be extinguished, under the washing of the energy, it began to weaken. However, Li Yi was almost burnt to coke.
Xingyang Huo was extremely shocked. His Bluelotus Earth Fire was not forced away by some power, but fleeing with fear! He had refined the fire for many years, and they were already spiritually connected, so he could sense the fear in the flames. It was like when a commoner saw a lofty sovereign and dared not to resist!
That startled him and made him gasp. It was the first time that such a situation had occurred, so he asked cautiously, “I’m Xingyang Huo. Did you destroy my family?”
The people above felt strange, wondering why Xingyang Huo suddenly became so accommodating. When he was at the Supreme Palace, he did not say anything before he attacked and slaughtered everyone. But then, they thought he must have calmed down due to extreme anger. Only heaven knew what kind of storm would come next.
“So, you are an old dog from the Xingyang family. I can’t believe there is one still alive!”
A cold light burst out of Yunxiao’s eyes, and the flaming cloud between his eyebrows almost jumped out of him. The surrounding flames seemed to be affected by that as they moved backward again, almost returning to where Xingyang Huo was.
In the face of the Phoenix True Flame, all other flames would have to retreat!
Xingyang Huo was startled, but he flew into a rage at the same time. “It’s you! What animosity do you and the Xingyang family have? Why did you do this to my family?”
“You kill one of my people, I destroy your whole family!”
His words astounded all the experts in the sky!
