Chapter Sixteen: Strange Flames

  "Hurry! Hurry and leave! The Fire Demon Palace must have discovered us, all of you elders follow me and rush out!"

  Jian Wu Xie's face changed greatly, the treasure had not been obtained, but his tracks had already been exposed. At this moment, the San Xiao Sword Sect was only seven elders and one sect master, how could they match up in the Fire Demon Palace's lair? Without hesitation, Jian Wu Xie led the way in a frantic retreat!

  "Whoosh!"

  Body shape changes, like light and electricity, Sword Without Evil's hand seal moves, triggering the array flags. In an instant, the Eight Gates Locking Heaven Great Array disperses, eight small flags shoot out from eight directions and return to Sword Without Evil's hands!

  "Whoosh..."

  At the same time, Xia Qi felt his shoulder being grabbed by Jian Wu Xie again, and his body was lifted into the air like a shadow, following Jian Wu Xie and several elders as they rushed out of Huoyan Mountain!

  "Haha... Fellow Taoist of the San Xiao Sword Sect, since you've come to my Huo Mo Palace, why not stay and discuss a thing or two with me?"

  Jian Wu Xie's speed was not slow, a series of reactions like lightning, in an instant, he retrieved the array flag and his body soared into the air, about to leave, but this was after all the old nest of Huo Mo Palace!

  Several figures rose into the air, and before they could leave, a majestic and awe-inspiring voice, like a great bell, rang out in the ears of the crowd. The people only felt their internal energy surging, and their bodies slightly paused!

  In this brief moment of hesitation, the opportunity has slipped away!

  A large number of figures appeared around Jian Wuxie, especially the eight figures in front, with an overbearing aura that made Xia Qi feel like he couldn't breathe. This was clearly the pressure of a Yuan Ying period cultivator!

  Eight Trigrams Infant, dozens of Golden Elixirs, sword without evil, suspended in mid-air, face color a momentary ugly!

  "The sword is innocent!"

  Both sides stopped in their tracks, separated by hundreds of meters. The Palace Master Tianchou of Huomangong gazed at the faces of Xue Wuxia and his group, his pupils shrinking as he let out a low growl!

  "The dignified leader of the Three Xuan Sword Sect, instead of sitting in the Three Xuan Sword Sect, sneaked into my Huo Mo Palace and did some thieving things. Good job, Jian Wu Xie!" Ren Tian Qiu was slightly surprised when he saw Jian Wu Xie, but quickly calmed down and opened his mouth with a mocking expression.

  "I, Jian Wu Xie, have come to Flame Mountain today not with the intention of harming your Huo Mo Palace, but rather because our sect's elder, Hui Yin, has reached a critical point in his cultivation due to his fire-attribute spiritual root. Today, he entered Flame Mountain to attempt a breakthrough! Since we've been discovered, my San Xiao Sword Sect is willing to offer compensation!"

  The Tian Dao sect's treasure is a huge deal, if the news gets out, the entire cultivation world will probably swarm in. Jian Wu Xie can only come up with a lame excuse to stall for time, hoping to leave safely, and then when the situation in the Huo Mo Palace's unexplored Flame Array is unclear, he'll mobilize the San Xiao Sword Sect to annihilate the Huo Mo Palace!

  "Hmph! Swordless, you don't need to make excuses either. The Flame Array, the palace master had already discovered it years ago. You and I both know about this array, so there's no need for you to find an excuse to cover it up!" Ren Tianqiu coldly snorted and said indifferently.

  The tone is calm, but the killing intent is revealed!

  The treasure of the Tian Dao sect, related to the prosperity of a sect, as the master of a faction, Jian Wu Xie and Ren Qiu Tian both understand, neither of whom wants to give up, nor do they want to spread the secret out, Ren Tian Qiu has now moved his heart to kill Jian Wu Xie!

  "Whoosh!"

  Ren Tianqiu's words fell, and four figures appeared behind him. In the distance, dozens of golden elixir cultivators reappeared, forming a massive array that surrounded Swordless Ye and his group!

  These are the monks previously stationed on the periphery of Flame Mountain, who have now completely surrounded us. The Fire Demon Palace has gained an absolute advantage!

  "Ren Tianchou! Do you want to provoke a war between the two factions? As one of the three major sects of Qin State, even if you severely injured us today, your Huo Mo Palace won't have it easy either. Are you going to let others take advantage of this?" Jian Wuxie's face turned extremely ugly, at this moment, the San Xiao Sword Sect had no advantage whatsoever, wanting to retreat unscathed was like a fool's dream!

  "This secret, both you and I know. Do you think it's better for me to pay a great price to kill you all to eliminate future troubles, or is it more worthwhile for me to collude with the Three Xiao Sword Sect?" Ren Tianqiu smiled slightly, his eyes full of mockery!

  Behind him, more than a hundred Golden Core cultivators quickly formed a combined attack formation. With this, several Golden Core cultivators joined forces to launch a single attack, which was enough to threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator!

  "Kill!"

  Jian Wu Xie let out a loud roar, his killing intent surging like a tidal wave. Holding Xia Qi, he dodged Ren Tian Chou and charged towards a weak point, wanting to break through the encirclement before the Golden Dan period cultivators could form a united attack!

  At this moment, in order to survive, one must fight out a bloody path!

  The treasure of Tiandao Sect, a sect that dominated the Xianxia realm and unified the five continents, left behind treasures that could make several sects leap to the top-tier sect overnight!

  Ren Tianchou was very clear that no matter how great the cost today, annihilating the San Xiao Sword Sect's group of people would be worth it, as long as he could seize the treasure. Today's losses were not even worth mentioning!

  Similarly, Jian Wu Xie was also very clear about it, so at the first moment, he had already made his choice!

  "Clang!"

  A purple sword suddenly appeared in Jian Wu's hand, emitting a dazzling purple light that was both dreamy and enchanting! As the sword left its scabbard, the clear ringing sound had already caused the faces of many Golden Elixir cultivators to change!

  A loud roar, a purple sword, transformed into a purple dragon, looking up at the sky and howling, like a real dragon descending, rushing towards a Yuan Ying period cultivator who was blocking in front of him, extremely barbaric!

  "Think you can leave? Think again!"

  The Yuan Ying period elder of the Huo Mo Palace let out a loud roar, facing the majestic and seemingly real divine dragon without fear. In his hand was a small lantern with raging flames on top, which he used to charge at the divine dragon!

  "Boom......!"

  Undoubtedly, Jian Wu Xie went all out, how could Huo Mo Palace's idle elder possibly stop him?

  All of a sudden, there was a loud rumble, and the heavens shook. The rapidly expanding lighthouse was fiercely struck by the purple divine dragon, causing it to continuously retreat. The raging flames on top of it splashed out in all directions, like a dazzling fireworks display!

  "Whoosh!"

  The dragon opened the way, Jian Wu Xie and several elders followed closely behind, charging out fiercely, with an unstoppable momentum!

  "The sword is innocent!"

  Just at this moment, Ren Qiantian suddenly made his move!

  His figure flashed through the void, leaving a mark in the air. When the elder of Huo Mo Palace blocked him slightly, he had already appeared above Jian Wuxie and his group!

  A sudden burst of flames appeared in Ren Tian's hands!

  Flames flickered in a pale blue hue, like the blooming of a lily flower, and were directly supported by Ren Tianqiu's hand. What was strange was that the flames seemed to have no temperature at all, being held in Ren Tianqiu's hand, and with a sudden change following Ren Tianqiu's loud shout, transformed into a pale blue long sword, grasped firmly in his hand, without making any sound, as if piercing through space, and swiftly striking towards Xiang Wuxie!

  "Wishing you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and also hoping for some collections..."
