Chapter 4023 Hard To Destroy
The old man shouted and chased after them, but just when he had caught up to them, Fire Phoenix turned around suddenly and opened its mouth. A burst of blazing flames spurted out of its mouth instantly and attacked the old man. The old man was forced to retreat, and when he started to chase after them again, he saw that the bird and person had already disappeared into the distance in the sky. They were so far away that they seemed like they were about to disappear from his sight in the next moment. “You won’t be able to escape!”
....
The breath on the old man surged and his whole body shot out like an arrow in an instant chasing after them into the distance. “Sect Master!”
Several Elders couldn’t help but shout out when they saw this. However, the figure disappeared into the distance in a blink of an eye. Upon seeing this, one of the middle-aged men frowned and said: “Feng Jiu said that the Relic should be hidden inside the Sect Master’s crutch?”
“How did she know that?” Another person said in surprise: “We didn’t even know where Sect Master hid the Relic.”
“From the looks of things, it seems that the Relic is indeed hidden inside the crutch. Otherwise, Sect Master wouldn’t be so anxious, and…” The Elder who spoke paused and hesitated to continue. “And what?” the person next to him asked. The old man looked at them and said: “Didn’t you notice that there was something wrong with Sect Master? We don’t cultivate devilry techniques, but Sect Master’s spirit energy earlier seemed to carry a hint of demonic energy and his eyes were also red, which is not normal.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was deep in thought and didn’t speak. How did they miss it? It wasn’t only just then that there was something with their Sect Master. He had been very easily irritable recently and exuded a sinister breath. They had all noticed this but daren’t say anything. After a long silence, one of them finally said: “Do you think that the Sect Master can take the thigh back from Feng Jiu?”
“It’s hard to say.”
The middle-aged man said: “Feng Jiu’s strength is not as the rumours say and hasn’t reached the Divine King stage, so it seems that the decline in her strength after that battle years ago was true. If her natal contract beast hadn’t saved her earlier, she would have died at the hands of our Sect Master.”
“Ai!” One of them sighed softly and frowned, shaking his head. “What’s the matter? Why are you sighing?” A few others asked, looking at the man who was sighing. The man looked at them and said: “Perhaps you don’t know this. I heard that Feng Jiu is the destined Phoenix Star, she has a blessed body. Even if she faces death, she will still narrowly escape death. However, anyone who opposes her will not have a good end. Today, she didn’t die here, I can’t help but worry about the future of our Sect!”
Everyone fell silent when they heard this. They looked at their burning Sect below and saw that the flames were not extinguished even though they were doused with sand, and their faces became solemn.
“The fire keeps reigniting. If this continues, I’m afraid the entire Sect will be burned to the ground.”
The middle-aged man took a look and said: “This fire is the Fire of Heaven. Other than Feng Jiu herself, very few people will be able to put the fire out. All we can do at the moment is prevent the fire from spreading and isolating all the areas that are on fire. Once the fire has finished burning the things, it will naturally be extinguished. “Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and help! Otherwise the fire will spread and get bigger.” The Elder said, and he was the first one who jumped down and rushed towards the one of the places on fire. With a wave of his hand, airflow formed an airblade and cut open the ground vigorously.
