315: Flame Fish, the Art of Controlling Fire

“......”

There were also some demons present, all brought by Demon Lord Ying Prefecture and Yan Qingcheng, including three at Profound Phase Realm Peak, who stepped back, indicating they would not participate in this matter.

Yan Junlin swept his gaze over the demon race present and nodded lightly, “Fellow Daoist is right. Today, humans, demons, and the demon race are all gathered here. There are still too many people. It is very necessary to clear out a batch of the demon race at this moment.”

Whether it was necessary or not was actually irrelevant.

The demon race was indeed annoying. Clearing out a batch of them here in advance would save them from gaining good fortune, improving their cultivation, and ultimately becoming trouble.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “For such a small matter, I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist to take action.”

“......”

Yan Junlin was somewhat speechless. He had only spoken casually to agree with him.

“Cough cough! The path ahead is fraught with unknown dangers. If anyone has any conflicts, they can resolve them later. The top priority is to follow in the footsteps of those powerhouses, which will also make us much safer.”

An old man at Profound Phase Realm Peak from Hengyuan Sect lightly coughed, acting as a mediator. This bone boat was not small and could accommodate everyone present.

Those present were from the human, demon, and demon races. Among the human faction, the Profound Phase Realm Peak cultivators were only the four from their Four Great Sects.

As for Yu Xiu and others, they had left the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range earlier and made no further movements, presumably seeking opportunities elsewhere.

In contrast, the demon race still had six Profound Phase Realm Peak cultivators. If a fight truly broke out, they would definitely suffer heavy losses, and it would allow the demons to take advantage.

Yan Junlin nodded and said, “This elder also has a point.”

“Heh heh! Coward!”

Yan Ruyi glanced at Yan Junlin, her words carrying a hint of mockery.

Just now he said he would take action, but in the blink of an eye, he changed his mind. It was utterly ridiculous. Wasn't it just killing a group of demons? What was so difficult about it?

“......”

Yan Junlin’s mouth twitched, speechless.

“You all just wait. We’ll make you pay later.”

The demon race members glared at Xie Weilou and Yan Junlin. These two made them very displeased, and they would definitely make them pay the price later.

There were also demons nearby, and they indeed couldn't let these demons take advantage.

Boom!

Xie Weilou extended his hand and slapped down.

The demon race members present, whether at Dao Repository Realm or Profound Phase Realm Peak, instantly turned to dust, leaving only their demon cores.

“......”

Yan Junlin and the others, seeing this, their pupils constricted, immediately retreated, looking at Xie Weilou with eyes full of dread.

He had only spoken casually and naturally wouldn't truly take action, but he hadn't expected this person to actually act without the slightest hesitation.

With one slap, six Profound Phase Realm Peak demon race members were directly annihilated, sending shivers down their spines.

This was a ruthless person!

“So terrifying......”

The elders of the Four Great Sects stared at Xie Weilou with horrified expressions. To be able to annihilate Profound Phase Realm Peak cultivators with a raised hand—was this a hidden Dragon Transformation Realm expert?

The demons also stared at Xie Weilou with wary expressions. Why did it feel like this human fellow was even more ruthless and ferocious than them, the demons and the demon race?

Xie Weilou waved his hand, collecting the demon cores. He said calmly, “The demon race is cruel and cunning. Keeping them would surely cause trouble later. It is necessary to cut off the root now.”

“......”

Everyone remained silent, but inwardly, they scoffed, 'The demon race is cruel? I think you are even more cruel.'

However, the death of a group of demons was nothing. Anyway, they all disliked each other.

If truly good things appeared, they would definitely fight later. It was naturally best that Xie Weilou had resolved a batch now.

Yan Junlin said with a serious tone, “Fellow Daoist Fan is right! Such hateful demons, even if you hadn’t acted, I would have dealt with them.”

Everyone: “......”

This demon race brat was also a shameless person!

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang flew onto the flying boat, “Fellow Daoists, don’t just stand there!”

Yan Junlin and the others also did not hesitate, quickly boarding the flying boat.

Xie Weilou looked at everyone and smiled, “Fellow Daoists, the demon race has been dealt with by me. Next, I’ll trouble you all to control this bone boat.”

The Profound Manifestation Realm cultivator from Tai Xuan Sect was a white-haired old man in a grey robe, named Sword Yuanzi. He looked at the other Three Sects and said in a deep voice, “Three Fellow Daoists, I will control this bone boat. If we encounter any killing intent later, please all take action.”

“Fellow Daoist Sword Yuanzi, rest assured. You can just control the bone boat, and we will handle the rest.”

The three elders from Hengyuan Sect, Miaozhen Sect, and Danhe Valley nodded lightly.

“Prepare to set sail.”

The white-haired old man twisted his hand seals, injecting a stream of power into the bone boat.

Buzz!

The bone boat vibrated, instantly rushing forward along the Blazing River.

Everyone on the bone boat brought out their treasures to guard against unexpected situations.

Boom!

The bone boat sped through the Blazing River at an extremely high speed, with lava splashing up on both sides.

After half an incense stick’s time.

The flying boat had traveled ten thousand meters in the Blazing River. The surrounding temperature suddenly increased, the Blazing River vibrated continuously, lava splashed, and thick smoke billowed.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, from within the Blazing River, roars echoed. Thousands of scarlet flame fish burst out of the lava, frantically flying towards the bone boat.

These scarlet flame fish were not strong in aura, all being at Territory Expansion Realm or Dao Repository Realm, with no Mystic Form cultivators. However, their sheer numbers made them a nuisance.

“......”

Everyone stared at these scarlet flame fish, their eyes showing surprise.

They had previously seen some things attacking Li Guanxuan and the others’ bone boat, which should have been these scarlet flame fish, but those scarlet flame fish were clearly much more terrifying.

But when it came to them, these scarlet flame fish were much weaker. Why was this?

Could it be that the powerful scarlet flame fish had all been dealt with by powerhouses like Li Guanxuan?

“Sword Yuanzi, you continue to control the flying boat. I will handle these scarlet flame fish.”

The elder from Danhe Valley was an old man in a red robe, named Dan Chenzi.

He stepped forward, forming hand seals. Thousands of scarlet flame fish were controlled by a strange power, their pressure receding, instantly transforming into a giant ball of flame.

Forcibly controlling fire—this was a fire control technique. For an alchemist, being in this place was like entering a natural treasure ground. Many attacks related to fire could be easily resisted.

Buzz!

Dan Chenzi brought out a purple-gold alchemy furnace. The furnace enlarged, and these flames were swallowed by the furnace.

The elder from Miaozhen Sect was a beautiful woman, named Immortal Furong. She looked at Dan Chenzi and chuckled, “Fellow Daoist Dan Chenzi’s fire control technique is truly profound.”

Dan Chenzi smiled and said, “Our Danhe Valley lives by alchemy, so fire control is essential. Being in this kind of area is very beneficial to me. These scarlet flame fish contain a peculiar power. Now that they are in the alchemy furnace, perhaps some useful fire essence can be refined from them later.”

Xie Weilou observed Dan Chenzi and asked with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Dan’s fire control technique is quite extraordinary. May I ask what grade alchemist Fellow Daoist is?”

Dan Chenzi saw Xie Weilou communicating with him and was not offended. He cupped his fists and said, “This old man is a Fifth-Grade Alchemist.”

The entire Danhe Valley had two Fifth-Grade Alchemists and one Sixth-Grade Alchemist. He was one of the Fifth-Grade Alchemists, and his Senior Brother, the Valley Master of Danhe Valley, was the other Fifth-Grade Alchemist.

As for the Sixth-Grade Alchemist, he was Danhe Old Ancestor, who rarely took action. Unless a major figure requested it, the Old Ancestor generally would not appear.
