The Flameheart Palace was located in the southern part of the mainland, tens of thousands of miles away from the northern Cloud Horizon Sect where the snow roared. Originally, it was a region of tension between the north and south, a place where enemies clashed like water and fire.
However, the place where the Demon Lord Yan Qianli was recuperating and cultivating could not be known by the righteous sects. In theory, Qiu Wuji should have no idea where he was.
If the disciples of the Cloud Horizon Sect were to find out that their sect leader knew the enemyâs location and pretended not to know, and that she went to play there, one couldnât help but wonder if there would be a rebellion within the sect.
Everyone had painstakingly gathered information about the formidable enemy Yan Qianli for a year, what was the pointâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even the great Creator God, when designing the map, had never considered that the relationships would be like this now. So, he had been cursing himself as an idiot all the way here, wondering why he had written this place to be so far away.
Not only was it far away, but the environment was also extremely harsh and heavily fortified.
From a great distance, he felt the surging heat waves, and even in the sky, his soul had the feeling of being roasted, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He couldnât help but wonder where Du Lianfeng had found the courage to drill beneath the volcano back then. Did he think it was an illusion and therefore had no fearâ¦
Not only was the environment bad, but now more and more members of the demonic sects were gathering in the vicinity, forming a gathering place for demonic cults, which naturally became a deadly place that ordinary people couldnât enter. With Yan Qianliâs increasingly swift recovery, various protective formations were added to this area, and a new Fire Prison Sect had risen and been restored.
Qiu Wuji could see through formations as if they were nothing and could enter and exit at will, just like how the divine consciousness from thousands of miles away had found Yan Qianli directly. However, she couldnât easily enter with her disciple as a burden, so she had to put away her flying sword and land on the outskirts.
Soon, a group of Yan Qianliâs disciples, dressed in flame robes, surrounded her with sinister grins. âWhere did this righteous sect sword immortal come from?â
Qiu Wuji gazed at the sky in silence.
Chu Ge was annoyed and said, âI have some business with your Sect Master, please relay the message.â
Damn, in the past, when the Little Flame was weak, there wasnât so much trouble. It seemed that people grew more distant when they became successful, right?
âA righteous sect sword immortal looking for our Sect Master? Do you think weâd believe that?â The group of flame-robed individuals all laughed. âIf you really knew where our Sect Master is, you would have already reported to Qiu Wuji and come knocking on our door. Who are you two kids trying to fool here?â
Chu Ge: ââ¦â
Qiu Wuji: ââ¦â
âOh, this woman looks quite goodâ¦â Someone chuckled, âI suspect youâre spies from the Cloud Horizon Sect, trying to test the reality of this place. Capture them for me!â
With a loud âbang,â Chu Ge kicked one of them in the face. âYouâre all a bunch of useless underlings⦠You wonât take me there, huh? Fine, Iâll find my own way in!â
Qiu Wuji rolled her eyes and watched as Chu Ge fought against the group, chasing them all the way into the depths of the volcano.
Not bad, this was a form of cultivation tooâaccumulating combat experience and observing the methods of the demonic cultivators in this world.
Although it was a bit different from the adventures of the martial world she had imagined⦠well, who asked him to be different from ordinary people?
Thatâs right, if youâre going to find a man, why not find the Creator God? Being different from others was part of the fun! Creator Godâs adventures are so simple and unpretentious.
âYoung ones, how dare you act wildly here!â A demonic cultivator descended from the sky, and his blazing demonic palm struck.
Golden Core!
Chu Ge kicked away the disciple next to him, patted his sword sheath, and a lone swan flew through the sky, leaving a trail of ice and frost.
Beautiful and magnificent sword energy, carrying a deadly intent.
âClang!â Fire and frost clashed together, canceling each other out, and the bone-chilling sword energy continued forward. In a confrontation with the enemyâs artifact, the flying sword circled back, accompanied by the astonished voice of the opponent. âThis sword technique⦠Why does it have a hint of the Cloud Horizon Sect?â
Figures crowded around, more and more demonic disciples gathering around. In the distance, countless powerhouses were alerted.
âCloud Horizon Sectâs flying sword?â
âBut Iâve never seen this sword techniqueâ¦â
âIt really does resemble the Cloud Horizon Sect⦠Iâve fought them for over a thousand years, so Iâm quite familiar. But the Cloud Horizon Sect definitely doesnât have this sword technique, and they donât cultivate ice techniques⦠Itâs quite strangeâ¦â
âIn any case, itâs not their turn to act recklessly here. Capture them for me!â
As they conversed while watching the battle, with a âsnap,â the Golden Core cultivator who had tried to stop Chu Ge was slapped in the face and spat out blood before retreating.
Chu Ge was quite pleased; he had just learned the flying sword technique, and it was impressive. âIs this what they call challenging someone whoâs a higher cultivation level? Whoâs next?â
âSwoosh swoosh swoosh!â Countless artifacts emitted dazzling lights, and various powers rained down.
âDamn it!â Chu Ge was dumbfounded.
Could these people at least say something like, âJunior, donât be so arrogant, Iâll capture you.â Why did they just besiege him without dialogues!
Chu Ge started running.
âMaster⦠help!â
Qiu Wuji gently extended a palm.
The air seemed to tear apart, countless sword radiance rose flatly, accurately intercepting every attack. Chu Ge was in the midst of a meteor shower of fire and was surprised to find himself as secure as Mount Tai.
He blinked.
The soft rice is really delicious
Several Nascent Soul Elders were furious and about to take action, but they found that they couldnât move.
Wherever Qiu Wujiâs eyes looked, virtual swords formed into a prison, imprisoning all the demonic cultivators who were far superior in cultivation level to Chu Ge.
âDivine⦠Divine Transformation realm?â People couldnât even imagine that Qiu Wuji had personally arrived here and could only think a terrifying powerhouse came to find trouble.
An elder shouted, âHurry and inform the Lord!â
âListening to you makes it sound like youâre rushing to invite the Buddha.â Chu Ge quipped as he cut through the approaching fire dragon with a sword, lightly stepped to avoid the surging fire lotus on the ground, and âSolo Swordâ rampaged among the demonic disciples, causing the disciples below Golden Core stage to wail.
In this dignified den of demons, this couple had rampaged all the way in, right to the mouth of the volcano.
When Yan Qianliâs divine sense probed the situation and saw it, his face turned black.
What do you two think youâre doing here, treating my place as a place for training? Look at your smug faces, enjoying this, arenât you?
You might as well write a separate training ground for yourself! There is no dignity in the demonic way!
Yan Qianli was so angry that he almost coughed up blood, and blue flames erupted from the volcano, with demonic sound echoing through the heavens and the earth. âOutrageous! Die for me!â
âBoom!â The sword radiance and the blue flames clashed, and the entire area lost its color.
Even the Nascent Soul elders were so irritated by this violent glare that they covered their eyes with tears.
As the smoke cleared, the couple who had been wreaking havoc in the area were no longer visible.
âWhere are they⦠Is the Lord alright?â
From underground came Yan Qianliâs muffled voice, âItâs fine now. Just a couple of ignorant kids. The rest of you guard the surroundings and donât let this happen again.â
Everyone bowed in awe. âThe Lordâs might will one day dominate the earth, break through the Cloud Horizon Sect, and spread flames across the worldâ¦â
Their Lord had indeed fully recovered! This powerful couple couldnât even withstand a single move from the Lord! They deserved it; they probably thought they were sword immortals who had cultivated successfully and come out to exterminate demons, but they didnât know that the Lord was actually here, and they rashly came to die.
âEnough, get on with what youâre doing.â Yan Qianli, who used to love flattery, was a bit ashamed now. âSay a little less of those embarrassing words in the future and step back.â
Everyone was puzzled and withdrew obediently.
The Yan Qianli in their minds, who had once oppressed the world, had now become a small flame, held in the hands of the upright male swordsman of the righteous path. âYouâre doing quite well, arenât you, Qianqian? Iâve never had so many people worship me.â
âDonât call me Qianqian.â The little flame struggled. âYou want people to kneel, donât you? Well, go ahead and write, âThe world kneels before the Heavenly Dao.â After all, you have no shame.â
Chu Ge: âI feel like you have a big issue with me.â
âNonsense.â The little flame snapped, âThis is my lair, and you, as enemies of the demonic path, barge all the way in here. Am I not losing face?â
âIsnât that giving you face? Now they think we were captured by you, not you being exorcised by us. You must be quite prestigious now, right?â
The little flame was momentarily taken aback, scratching its chin. âThatâs true. By the way, what are you here for? Training? Can you please pick a different place next time?â
âNo.â
âMainly, I came to ask you about something⦠Has anyone contacted you recently about resisting the Heavenly Dao or something like that?â
The little flame grinned, âIsnât this a coincidence? He wants me to capture Qiu Wujiâs disciple, and I was thinking about how to put on a show with you. Youâve come here on your ownâ¦â
