Chapter 15: The Arrival of the Strong
Li Fan personally issued a dismissal order.
To everyone including Yu Qishui, their faces trembled with shock.
Fire Spirit’s expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said,
“Fire Spirit was wrong!”
"Please, Senior, forgive me!”
She knelt on the ground!
Cold sweat streamed down.
To anger an Immortal, what a sin it was!
Even Yu Qishui and the others knelt down and paid their respects, saying,
“Senior, we were wrong, we should not have brought her here!”His heart raced with urgency; who would have thought that Fire Spirit could be so disrespectful!
How dare she be so brash in front of Senior Li? Wasn’t this courting death?
Seeing everyone’s strong reaction, Li Fan felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Enough, there’s no need for such formality.”
He shook his head.
"We will leave immediately and not disturb Senior Li’s meditation!”
Yu Qishui quickly stood up and spoke, understanding that the best option right now was to disappear immediately.
The group hurriedly left.
As if sensing Li Fan’s anger, the small white cat that was enjoying its meal stopped and turned back to look at him.
"Are you full?”
Li Fan smiled slightly, gently stroked the small white cat’s head, and then, using a handkerchief, wiped its mouth.
Casually, he tossed the remaining half-bowl of food into the trash can.
"Meow meow…”
Bai Xiaoqing stared at the trash can, her large eyes filled with reluctance, Meow, this kitty hasn’t eaten its fill, okay!!
…
After they left the small courtyard.
"Princess, you were truly impulsive!”
Yu Qishui couldn’t help but speak up.
Now, having displeased Senior Li, was truly a grave mistake.
Fire Spirit’s face was also full of disappointment.
She looked back and her eyes were filled with endless yearning, yet she let out a wry laugh and said,
“Fire Spirit was just dreaming…”
How could such an opportunity be so easily obtained?
To elevate the Bright Fire Eyes to the Profound Fire Eyes was already a monumental gift.
She was indeed too greedy!
She thought, ashamed.
Mu Qianning saw this and couldn’t bear it, comforting her,
“Princess, Senior Li is actually a very kind person, everything is about fate, maybe it’s just not the right time yet.”
Fire Spirit said,
“Thank you, Qianning.”
At this moment, she suddenly felt envious of Mu Qianning.
At least, Mu Qianning had the opportunity to visit Senior Li often, right?
…
After leaving the mountain village, the group boarded the Yu Kong Flying Ship and returned to the Lihuo Sect.
"Now it seems that Senior Li had foreseen the coming of the Evil God, and moreover, he very likely was waiting for the Evil God all along!”
Fire Spirit spoke up.
Yu Qishui and others all nodded.
"Actually, there’s something I haven’t told everyone; the reason why the Evil God chose to descend in the Southern Fire Country is because an extremely important Secret Realm is about to emerge within the Cangli Mountain Range!”
Now, Fire Spirit no longer kept any secrets, saying,
“That Secret Realm is very likely to be connected to the mysteries of the Immortal Path. By then, I’m afraid the likes of Supremes, Evil Gods and others will take great interest.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Qishui and the others were even more shocked.
"No wonder… the small village where Senior Li resides is exactly at the entrance of the Cangli Mountain Range. All of this is within Senior Li’s control!”
Wei Yushan exclaimed.
"This is a great opportunity, a Secret Realm that even the Supreme Evil God values. There must be an abundance of chances inside.”
"You all can make preparations to take part when the time comes. You’re bound to gain a lot.”
Fire Spirit advised.
If it wasn’t for the Lihuo Sect, she would not have met Li Fan, and the Profound Fire Eyes would not have been cultivated.
Therefore, she also held a sense of gratitude towards the Lihuo Sect.
"Indeed, since all of this is within Senior Li’s control, then our Lihuo Sect should give it our all!”
Yu Qishui spoke up!
…
Meanwhile.
The events happening in the Southern Fire Country continued to ferment!
A beast tide occurred in the Cangli Mountain Range, drawing the attention of many.
"There must be a treasure emerging within the Cangli Mountain Range!”
"Legend has it that within the Cangli Mountain Range, countless secret realms are hidden…”
"Numerous Supremes once ventured into these realms, all in search of the mysteries of the Immortal Path…”
So the world buzzed with rumors.
From countless major sects, Yu Kong Flying Ships soared out one after another!
Clearly, this was an opportunity not to be missed.
Everyone was going to join this competition!
Even the news reached beyond the Fire Country, with many powerful forces outside heading towards the Southern Territory of the Fire Nation!
…
Someplace in the sky.
A massive Yu Kong Flying Ship was swiftly advancing towards the south.
On the flying ship, a large flag embroidered with a red lotus fluttered in the wind.
The Royal Family of the Fire Nation!
Eight elders stood guard behind a man and a woman on the ship.
The woman had a distinguished air about her, and the man had an extraordinary martial presence.
"Big brother, our younger sister has already arrived in the south, aren’t you afraid she’ll come across some fortuitous encounter?”
The woman spoke with a smile in her eyes; within them, a hint of teasing could be discerned.
She was none other than Empress Xuan, the Second Princess of the Fire Nation.
And the man was none other than Huo Mingxuan, the legitimate eldest son of the current Fire Nation.
Upon hearing this, Huo Mingxuan said coldly,
“The secret realm that has emerged this time could very well be the site of a Supreme of the Fire Dao from a past generation. Besides me, no one else is qualified to approach it!”
He was utterly confident!
The flying ship pressed on at high speed.
"Hm? What’s that over there? Divine radiance filling the sky?”
Suddenly, ahead in the sky, a long streak of rosy light appeared. Above the light, there seemed to be a Divine Dragon soaring!
"The Divine Dragon Boat of the Dragon Profound Sect!”
Empress Xuan exclaimed with surprise.
The Dragon Profound Sect was a Supreme Level power in the Southern Territory of the Xuan Tian Realm!
Its sect was founded by the Dragon Profound Supreme a thousand years ago, and to this day, it still has experts of the Body Integration Realm at its helm, its power far exceeding that of Transcendent Powers.
As they drew nearer, they saw clearly that the vessel speeding like a streak of light was, in fact, a mystical conveyance, exuding an extraordinary might.
The people on the Divine Dragon Boat also seemed to notice them, and as they drew closer, the Boat slowed to a halt.
"May I ask if you are friends from the Fire Nation?”
An elder appeared on the prow of the Divine Dragon Boat and asked.
Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan, both not daring to upstage their hosts, immediately approached and said,
“Huo Mingxuan and the Second Princess, Empress Xuan, of the Fire Nation are here. Greetings to the senior of the Dragon Profound Sect!”
Huo Mingxuan said aloud.
"May I invite you aboard for a conversation?”
The elder of the Dragon Profound Sect asked.
Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan glanced at each other.
They then stepped off the Yu Kong Flying Ship and leaped onto the opposite Divine Dragon Boat.
Upon entering the Divine Dragon Boat, their eyes beheld eight elders, flanking a woman on both sides.
The woman was sitting on the deck of the Divine Dragon Boat with a veil over her face, dressed in a white gown that highlighted her graceful figure; however, her entire demeanor was quite cold.
In her hands, she held a Jade Sword.
"This is our Dragon Profound Sect’s Saintess, Long Ziying,” said the elder who had called the two onto the boat.
At this, Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan were both visibly shaken!
The Saintess of the Dragon Profound Sect!
She was definitely a genuine personage of exceptional talent!
Huo Mingxuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
With such a figure willing to be acquainted, how could he worry about ascending the throne of the Fire Nation?
"Crown Prince Huo Mingxuan of the Fire Nation, at your service, Saintess Ziying!”
He immediately spoke up, a passionate gleam in his eyes.
However, Long Ziying simply said indifferently,
“There’s no need for such courtesy.”
"You two must be heading to the Cangli Mountain Range, right?”
Huo Mingxuan replied,
“Indeed.”
Long Ziying nodded and continued,
“The reason I asked you aboard is that I wish to discuss a potential collaboration with you two.”
Collaboration!
Both were overjoyed; the Saintess of a Supreme Level power was proposing to work with them? This was an opportunity too good to miss!
"Please command us, Saintess. We, the siblings of the Fire Nation, will oblige without hesitation should you need our assistance!”
Huo Mingxuan promptly stated.
Long Ziying, however, glanced at them and asked,
“I wonder to what Realm your eyes have been cultivated? Have they reached the Profound Fire Eyes?”
At once, the expressions of Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan darkened.
