247: Soul Wind: Why didn’t the ancient tribe seize the demon fire?

“Let’s attack together…”

Gu Fei smiled, glanced at the others, then mobilized a large amount of Dou Qi and poured it into the grand formation Soul Mie Sheng had cast.

The Dou Sheng powerhouses from the other five Ancient Races also increased their Dou Qi infusion upon seeing this.

“You want to Seal me? Impossible!”

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame began to counterattack frantically.

This made the expressions of Soul Mie Sheng and the other six, including Gu Fei, very grim.

“Everyone, let’s fight it to the death!”

Soul Mie Sheng wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a ferocious look appeared on his originally ordinary face. He bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of vital blood spurted out, then shot into the light pillar.

“Chi, chi, chi!”

As the seven began to fight desperately, the light within the pillar suddenly intensified.

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame’s massive body actually began to rapidly shrink under the formation’s energy.

“Sky Net Demon Sealing Array, Seal!”

Seeing this, Soul Mie Sheng was overjoyed. His hand Seals rapidly changed, and finally, he let out a sharp shout.

In a short moment, the black grand formation transformed into a black cylinder about a zhang in height. Inside the cylinder, a milky-white flame slowly ascended, and an extremely terrifying temperature quietly spread out.

“It succeeded…”

Seeing this scene, Huo Yao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, at least their lives were no longer in danger.

And as the Purification Lotus Demon Flame was Sealed by the grand formation, a temporary silence fell over the sky.

“Haha, this collaboration was truly pleasant. The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame has finally been Sealed, which can be considered as averting a catastrophe for the living beings of the Central Plains. Thank you!”

After adjusting his breathing, Soul Mie Sheng laughed loudly and cupped his hands towards Gu Fei and the others.

“This guy… is he going to start snatching the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame now?!”

Gu Fei already knew Soul Mie Sheng’s intention.

Although he still had strength remaining at this moment, he pretended to be greatly depleted of Origin Qi.

Furthermore, he secretly transmitted a message to Elder Nanhai, who was observing from afar, indicating that he should not try to snatch the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame later, but merely watch the show from the sidelines.

“Alright!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Nanhai felt doubtful, but still trusted Gu Fei’s judgment.

“Haha, thank you all today. My Hun Clan will remember this favor!”

As Gu Fei expected, Soul Mie Sheng indeed made his move and quickly reached out towards the black light pillar in the sky.

Under the immense suction force, the black light pillar began to rapidly move towards Soul Mie Sheng.

“Bastard!”

“The Hun Clan really had other plans!”

This scene startled everyone else, who then quickly came to their senses, and shouts of anger immediately resounded through the sky.

“Hmph, it’s not that easy to take away the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame!”

Elder Huo Yao of the Yan Clan and the Four-Star Dou Sheng Elder from the Lei Clan, currently suppressing the surging Qi and blood within their bodies, jointly struck out a powerful palm towards the black light pillar.

Under their combined attack, the direction of the black light pillar was forcibly altered.

“You scoundrels!”

Seeing this, Soul Mie Sheng was furious.

However, at this moment, he did not directly attack the two. Instead, he transmitted a message to Hun Feng and another Hun Clan member.

“You two, aren’t you going to snatch the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame?”

“Move!”

Upon hearing this, Hun Feng and the other person immediately reacted and reached out towards the light pillar.

These two, in this region, were considered top powerhouses apart from the Ancient Clan. Other forces, such as the Burning Flame Valley and the Pill Tower, could not find powerhouses capable of contending with them.

“That’s the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s Origin! Quick, grab it!”

At this moment, almost everyone in the sea area reacted. Immediately, fiery gazes were cast towards the black light pillar constantly flying in the sky.

Because within it was sealed the Origin power of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. If anyone could obtain it, their strength would undoubtedly skyrocket instantly!

“Whoosh!”

Countless people frantically used their movement techniques and began to reach out for the black light pillar.

“Elder Nanhai of the Ancient Clan hasn’t moved to snatch it. Is there a trick to this?”

Huo Zhi and Huo Xuan looked at Elder Nanhai, the most powerful contender, standing still, and suspicion immediately arose in their hearts.

“Perhaps, in Elder Nanhai’s eyes, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame isn’t as important as Young Miss Xun'er’s safety!” Huo Zhi’s eyes showed emotion.

In her opinion, Xun'er’s presence this time was a huge burden; otherwise, with two Four-Star Dou Sheng from the Ancient Clan, they would definitely be the biggest winners in snatching the Purification Lotus Demon Flame this time.

“Elder Nanhai, you don’t need to worry about me for now, go and snatch the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame…”

Xun'er saw Elder Nanhai standing still.

She subconsciously assumed that Elder Nanhai was worried about her safety and thus dared not act.

Remembering Gu Fei’s confident attitude towards the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame earlier, Xun'er didn’t want Gu Fei to be disappointed.

If the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was lost because Elder Nanhai was protecting her, she would feel very guilty.

“Young Miss Xun'er, the Young Clan Leader just instructed that this Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame cannot be snatched!”

Elder Nanhai explained.

“Cannot be snatched?”

Hearing such an explanation, Xun'er again subconsciously assumed that Gu Fei had instructed Elder Nanhai to protect her well, and that was why… “The Young Clan Leader must have his reasons for doing this. We should not act rashly!”

Elder Nanhai continued.

On the other side, a Central Plains powerhouse who was closer had already snatched the black light pillar.

“Haha, I’ve obtained the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s Origin!” This person laughed excitedly.

However, no sooner had his laughter sounded than nearly ten sharp fist winds ruthlessly slammed into him without mercy.

“Bang!”

Under such dense attacks, this powerhouse, who possessed Advanced Half-Saint strength, died without even being able to let out a scream.

“Get lost!”

The two Hun Clan members rushed over. With their strength, the others were no match at all.

Hun Feng, although only a Two-Star Dou Sheng in the Late Stage, his combat power could rival an ordinary Three-Star Dou Sheng. In just a few casual moves, more than a dozen powerhouses around him were killed.

“Hehe, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s Origin belongs to my Hun Clan…”

Hun Feng grabbed the black light pillar, and a look of wild joy involuntarily appeared on his face. He hadn’t expected the snatching of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s Origin to be so smooth this time.

What if the Ancient Clan had two Four-Star Dou Sheng? In the end, his Hun Clan still benefited.

“Damn it, we can’t let the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame fall into the Hun Clan’s hands!”

At this moment, the few Four-Star Dou Sheng who had just fought against the Purification Lotus Demon Flame were all extremely furious, but they couldn’t act for now.

After defeating the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, most of them were somewhat weak and needed to recover.

“Young Master Gu Fei, doesn’t your clan still have Elder Nanhai? Why isn’t he snatching it?”

Huo Yao looked at Gu Fei in surprise.

As his words fell, the Dou Sheng powerhouses from the other clans were also somewhat curious. Elder Nanhai had not participated in the previous battle, and his condition was the best among them. If he, with his Four-Star Dou Sheng cultivation, were to act, how could Hun Feng have a chance?

“Hehe, the rumors outside that Young Master Gu Fei and Young Miss Xun'er are not on good terms are indeed false. It is admirable that you can abandon the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s Origin to ensure Young Miss Xun'er’s safety!”

Soul Mie Sheng’s words were outwardly polite, but filled with mockery. If it were him, he would rather sacrifice Hun Feng than lose the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
