46: The Martial Saint Arrives
Above the rift, those who hadn't entered yet were stunned.
"The Earth Flame disappeared?"
"It was taken by an unknown entity?"
Considering the sudden disappearance of the phenomenon just now, it seemed very possible!
"What a pity, I originally wanted to see a Dragon fight Tiger, but it ended just like that?"
Someone expressed regret.
The Lei Xiao Sect Old Ancestor also sighed, looking at the two Chu Family Elders, only to find they had disappeared at some point.
"Let's go, back!"
The strength of whoever could take the strange flame under those circumstances was beyond their imagination.
To survive in this world, if one doesn't have a clear understanding of themselves, the outcome will only be tragic.
However, just as everyone was about to leave, an incredibly powerful Aura descended, appearing above everyone like a divine mountain.
In an instant, everyone was frozen in place as if under a petrification spell, unable to move.
Everyone looked up, and their expressions immediately changed in horror.
A figure appeared in the sky, dressed in black, with Holy Light radiating from his body, making him impervious to all techniques.
"What kind of powerful expert is this? His Aura is even more terrifying than the Martial Venerables of the Beast Taming Sect? Could it be a Martial Saint has descended?"
Everyone was shocked.
Could this be the Beast Taming Sect Martial Saint?
However, when they saw the symbol on his clothes, they realized he was not the Beast Taming Sect Martial Saint.
Because the Beast Taming Sect's attire has a Spirit Beast pattern, while the newcomer had a white skull!
Especially at the center of his brows, there was an imprint like a white flame.
"What force does this expert belong to?"
Everyone was puzzled.
There shouldn't be such an existence in the Qian Domain!
But the several Beast Taming Sect Martial Venerables who were raging in the great rift all changed their expressions upon sensing this terrifying Aura.
"It's the Saint Emissary!"
The three dared not stay where they were for a moment, immediately flying high into the sky and coming before that figure, cupping their fists and bowing, "Beast Taming Sect greets the Saint Emissary!"
"Where is the Earth Flame?"
The other party spoke, getting straight to the point, showing no intention of greeting the three Beast Taming Sect Martial Venerables.
"Reporting to the Saint Emissary, the strange flame was stolen by an unknown powerful expert!"
One of them said trembling.
"What? Stolen?"
"What are you doing?"
Huo Tu coldly snorted, his sharp and gloomy gaze fixed on the three, immediately causing them to kneel before him in terror!
This scene directly shattered everyone's worldview below.
The Martial Venerable experts of the eight-star Beast Taming Sect actually knelt before him? And this person wasn't even their Beast Taming Sect Old Ancestor?
This...
Why on earth?
Shouldn't an eight-star Sect be high and mighty, looking down on everything?
However, that wasn't all.
The moment the three figures knelt, a figure arrived from afar, traversing space.
He also exuded an Aura no less inferior to the previous Saint-Grade expert.
"Another Martial Saint?"
The newcomer was an old man with white hair, and his attire was imprinted with a Spirit Beast pattern.
"This is the Beast Taming Sect Martial Saint Ancestor!"
Someone's eyes widened, but the next scene directly made everyone present drop their jaws.
"Beast Taming Sect Old Ancestor Du Laiyuan greets Saint Emissary!"
"I apologize for not being able to greet you from afar upon your emergence, Saint Emissary!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a dignified Martial Saint expert actually knelt on one knee in terror before that figure.
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone knew that a Martial Saint was an invincible existence.
Why would he still kneel to others?
"Reporting to the Saint Emissary, a Saint-Grade or higher expert appeared and stole the strange flame without us noticing!"
The three Beast Taming Sect Martial Venerables quickly explained.
"A Saint-Grade expert?"
"Heh heh! I'd like to see who dares to touch the treasure this Saint fancies!"
Huo Tu sneered.
Don't let him find out, otherwise, even a Martial Saint would have to obediently hand it over, or face a dead end!
The white flame at the center of his brows began to flicker, and his Divine Thought erupted, spreading in all directions.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, "Found it!"
With that, his figure instantly vanished, while the Beast Taming Sect Old Ancestor and the three Martial Venerable Elders followed behind him like lapdogs.
...
In an inn in Cangyun City, not far from the great rift, Long Yuan and the Chu Family members were staying there.
"So, how do you plan to distribute this strange flame?" Long Yuan asked, holding the Green Lotus Core Flame in his hand as he looked at them.
"Chu Yan has a Saint Body and is also an Alchemist, so this strange flame should be given to him!" Chu Hongtu said.
"No, it's better for the Family to keep this strange flame!"
"You've seen the power of the strange flame; keeping it in the Family can be used as a trump card and also make the Family safer!"
"Although I am an Alchemist, I don't know how long it will be before I can return from this trip, and I probably won't be able to help the Family much in the short term. It's better to leave it for other Alchemists in the Family to use!"
"It can cultivate more talents for the Family!"
Chu Yan shook his head firmly.
Chu Hongtu said, "We know what you're going to do!"
"But that matter will definitely be very dangerous. If you don't have powerful means to protect yourself, this trip might be more ominous than auspicious, so you should keep this Earth Flame. It might serve as a life-saving measure at a critical moment!"
They had all met Chu Yan's mother.
Putting everything else aside, just her appearance and Aura alone indicated she couldn't be from an ordinary Family.
Chu Yan wanting to find his mother would likely involve some twists and turns, or even danger!
Moreover, Chu Yan was a Saint Body, the hope for their Chu Family's rise!
"No, it's better for the Family to keep it..."
Both sides were declining, both wanting to leave the Earth Flame with the other!
Long Yuan's ears were about to burst from listening, so he directly interrupted them, "Alright, alright, isn't it just an Earth Flame?"
"Look at you, arguing until your faces are red, as if it's some ultimate treasure!"
"How about this, the Earth Flame will stay with the Family!"
"As for Chu Yan... since this trip of yours is dangerous, I'll give you this Heaven Flame!"
After speaking, Long Yuan extended his right hand, and a purple flame instantly appeared.
"Violet Heavenly Flame?"
Old Yao suddenly exclaimed in shock, his Soul body shooting out from the ring on Chu Yan's finger, looking at the purple flame in disbelief!
"Who's there?"
Chu Hongtu and the others all erupted with terrifying Auras, pressing down on Old Yao like a giant wave.
"Elders, wait, this is my Revered Master!"
At the critical moment, Chu Yan directly stood in front of Old Yao.
"Your... your Revered Master?"
Then Chu Yan briefly explained the situation.
Chu Hongtu and the others suddenly understood, and they all cupped their fists towards Old Yao.
After all, he was considered to be cultivating talent for their Chu Family!
But Old Yao waved his hand, his gaze fixed intently on the Violet Heavenly Flame in Long Yuan's hand.
He never expected to see the legendary Heaven Flame here!
"Old Yao, is this the Heaven Flame?"
Chu Yan also looked at the extraordinarily dazzling purple flame.
He could feel his Saint Body was exceptionally excited, even more excited than when he saw the Green Lotus Core Flame before!
Moreover, this object gave him a sense of danger far more terrifying than the previous Green Lotus Core Flame!
As if just touching it would cause him to melt!
"There's no mistake, this is the Violet Heavenly Flame, ranked third on the Heaven Flame List!" Old Yao confirmed.
