86: Good friend Huo Ying Er
A few days later.
In the Chains of Command, Qin Jiang took Fire Qinger and Qin Lianer towards the Fire Clan.
Originally, he wanted to bring Liu Shuwan along.
However, she immediately went into seclusion, preparing to completely merge with her Sword Heart and break through to the Great Emperor Realm.
After some hesitation, Ye Linger and the other women also chose to stay home and Cultivate. Their talents were inherently not as good as Qin Jiang's, and if they didn't Cultivate diligently, they would eventually be left behind.
Just like this, Qin Jiang only brought Fire Qinger.
As for Qin Lianer, it was because Qin Jiang wanted to see if Qin Lianer could encounter a Son of Destiny in a new place. If she could, perhaps Qin Lianer could serve as a radar for finding Sons of Destiny in the future.
The Fire Clan's location was relatively remote.
Although they were not an Ancient Clan, due to their Alchemy skills, the Fire Clan's status was still very high. Many Ancient Clans had to seek pills from the Fire Clan.
It was precisely because of this that the Fire Clan's experts had countless connections and extensive networks. Therefore, even powerful Ancient Clans were unwilling to provoke the Fire Clan.
However, the Qin Family was not within this scope.
Along the way, Fire Qinger also recounted how she was harmed back then.
Back then, she was the Holy Maiden of the Fire Clan.
Within the Fire Clan, there was a Legacy Flame. As long as the Holy Maiden accepted the flame's Legacy, she would be able to control the entire Fire Clan, and it was the kind where her word was law.
However, precisely when she was undergoing the Legacy, the Fire Clan's prospective Saint Sword Sect Holy Son directly led people to surround the Legacy ground and kill the experts guarding her Legacy.
And Fire Qinger, due to being disturbed, suffered a backlash from the Legacy Flame.
Under the opponent's encirclement, she used the power of the Legacy Flame to forcefully break out. Unfortunately, her injuries were too severe, and she simply couldn't withstand the Legacy Flame.
Finally, out of desperation, she could only abandon the flame and escape the Fire Clan.
But in the end, she still couldn't hold on.
She burned her bridges, directly destroyed her body, and used a spirit-attaching stone she had stumbled upon to make a ring, hiding her soul within it. Only then did she escape the pursuit.
After wandering for several hundred years.
The ring fell into Xiao Fan's hands, and later, it was taken by Qin Jiang, until now...
"That prospective Saint Sword Sect Holy Son back then was called Fire Lie?"
Qin Jiang asked.
Fire Qinger nodded, showing little emotion. Now, having seen much with Qin Jiang, she didn't take it to heart at all.
Qin Jiang took out a scroll with Fire Lie's information on it:
"He is now the Clan Leader of the Fire Clan. The Fire Clan's Legacy Flame from back then has already been refined by him.
However, this Legacy Flame is indeed extraordinary. In just three hundred years, with the help of the Legacy Flame's power, his Realm has gone from the peak of the Guiyi Realm to the Nine Tribulation Supreme.
The current Fire Lie can be said to be the strongest expert in the Fire Clan."
"The Legacy Flame is the Fire Clan Clan Leader's token, and before each generation's Clan Leader perishes, all their power is injected into the Legacy Flame.
In a short period, it can Cultivate the inheritor to the Supreme Realm.
Back then, Fire Lie's Realm was weaker than mine, but looking at it now, the power in the Legacy Flame should have been refined by him."
Fire Qinger explained.
She was currently only in the Early Stage of the Sage Realm, with no improvement in three hundred years.
Qin Jiang looked at the information, smiled slightly, and pulled Fire Qinger into his embrace:
"I will help you reclaim all of this."
"Mm~"
Fire Qinger melted into Qin Jiang's embrace and nodded softly.
...
Several days later.
Qin Jiang arrived at the Fire Domain.
"This Fire Domain has such a high temperature."
Qin Jiang sighed.
Fire Qinger looked through the void towards the vast Fire Domain, a hint of emotion appearing in her beautiful eyes.
Three hundred years had passed. She hadn't expected that she would actually return.
"The entire area beneath the Fire Domain is a sea of magma, which is why the temperature is so high.
It is also because of this that the Fire Domain gathers over ninety percent of the fire-attribute Cultivators on the entire continent. The Fire Domain is a paradise for fire-attribute Cultivators.
And our Fire Clan is nominally the leader of the Fire Domain."
"Nominally?"
Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Fire Qinger gave a bitter smile:
"In the Fire Domain, there are many forces that are not weaker than the Fire Clan. If it weren't for our Fire Clan's Alchemy skills, these forces would have long since united and overthrown the Fire Clan."
Hearing this, Qin Jiang took out another scroll, tossed it to Fire Qinger, and said:
"Since a thousand years ago, the various forces in the Fire Domain have already begun researching the path of Alchemy. They even constantly go to the Fire Clan to learn under various pretexts.
Now, their Alchemy skills are not weak at all.
If one day, these forces' Alchemy skills can reach eighty percent of the Fire Clan's, they will definitely no longer obey the Fire Clan's control. In fact, there are already signs of this now."
Fire Qinger opened the scroll, which recorded the situation of the Fire Clan.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Although she had a grudge against Fire Lie, she still had feelings for the Fire Clan.
Before the sadness had dissipated, she looked towards Qin Jiang.
She had Qin Jiang!
With Qin Jiang here, what was there to fear from the various forces in the Fire Domain?
You are strong? My Husband is Qin Jiang! You are learning Alchemy? My Husband is Qin Jiang!
When it comes to Husbands, are you scared or not?!
Thinking of this, the sadness in Fire Qinger's heart immediately dissipated, and she directly threw away the scroll:
"With Husband here, I'm not afraid of them."
She nestled into Qin Jiang's embrace and smiled gently.
Hearing Fire Qinger call him Husband, Qin Jiang grinned. A girl's soft voice was indeed pleasant to hear.
After traveling through the Fire Domain for half a day.
Only then did they arrive at the Fire Clan's location.
"Hmm?
Is there a joyous occasion in the Fire Clan?"
Looking through the void, Qin Jiang saw the Fire Clan. Big red lanterns were hung everywhere, colorful banners fluttered, and people came and went within the Fire Clan, all with joyful expressions.
Fire Qinger looked over, also feeling a bit curious.
This scene looked like someone was getting married.
But such a large scale...
Could it be that the one getting married was the Fire Clan Clan Leader, Fire Lie?
Just then, a sound of gongs and drums rang out. Following the sound, an eight-bearer sedan chair arrived at the Fire Clan amidst cheerful noise.
Fire Qinger's delicate brows furrowed. She vaguely felt a trace of familiarity in the aura from the sedan chair.
Amidst the noise, a middle-aged man walked towards the sedan chair. At the same time, the old woman in front of the sedan chair lifted the sedan curtain and extended her arm.
The bride in the sedan chair placed her jade-like hand on the old woman's arm and slowly walked out under the old woman's guidance.
A gentle breeze blew, slightly lifting the red veil and revealing half of a pretty face.
"Ying'er!"
In the void, Fire Qinger's beautiful eyes widened. The next moment, she looked at Qin Jiang and immediately said:
"Qin Jiang, she is my best friend!"
Qin Jiang: "..."
Her best friend was marrying her enemy?
Qin Jiang's expression was strange. Fire Qinger's purpose in coming here was probably to introduce her best friend to him.
Now, she was actually intercepted?
Could this be tolerated?
"Qin Jiang, help Ying'er. She must have been threatened. Back then, the person she hated the most was Fire Lie. It's absolutely impossible for her to marry him!"
Fire Qinger hugged Qin Jiang's arm.
