Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Afterthe Sky-Burning Evil Flame went to Jiang Chen’s Holy Sea, itsterrifying evil flames immediately went along his eight pulses and hisnine holy pulses, and then spread to his whole body. Jiang Chen’s bodytemperature gradually rose, and it seemed like he would start burning atany second. He couldn’t afford to care about Jiang Yan, Jiang Moliang,or the others who were rus.h.i.+ng over. He landed on the mountain ridgebeneath him, which was still burning.
Even though the Sky-BurningEvil Flame submitted to him, its might was no small matter. The reasonwhy Jiang Yan had managed to become its vessel was that his body wasspecial. But even though this was the case, he could only use its ThirdTransformation’s power. It was fortunate that Jiang Chen’s Dragon andPhoenix bodies were both related to fire, thus he wasn’t burned to ashesby it immediately.
As expected of an evil flame. Jiang Chenrecalled how his father controlled the evil fire with ease, and even itsTenth Transformation was a cinch for him. Only now did he realize howamazing it was. Now, the Sky-Burning Evil Flame quieted after it spoketo him just one time. Jiang Chen had to depend upon himself to controlthe Sky-Burning Evil Flame.
“The Jiang family must have surelyused a sealing technique to restrict the evil fire, and it’s the reasonwhy Jiang Yan lost control of it after using the Third Transformation,”Jiang Chen said inwardly. He planned to use the same tactic. Controllingit step by step was the only correct path while dealing with a flamewith energy great enough to destroy the world. Jiang Chen placed hishands before his chest and started quickly weaving hand signs.
JiangMoliang had come over, and she furrowed her brows as she looked atJiang Chen. All of a sudden, she thought about her own family member andlooked for him everywhere, but in the end, she only found Jiang Yan’scorpse.
The tall and upright Jiang Yan had already turned into adried corpse, and his armor was now sliding off of him. After shecarefully observed him, she discovered that he hadn’t been killed bysomeone; it was just that his vitality had been s.n.a.t.c.hed by theSky-Burning Evil Flame when it left.
The Family Master will surelyregret it now. An Alien Flame wasn’t worth just 2,000,000,000, and even100,000,000,000 wasn’t enough to cover it. The Jiang family had plannedto get another apex genius by cultivating the evil flame inside JiangYan’s body. If Jiang Yan had managed to get control over the Sky-BurningEvil Flame in the future, his fighting prowess would have beenextremely great.
However,Jiang Yan had died while Jiang Chen got the Sky-Burning Evil Flame. Allof the Jiang family’s members would be pained by such a loss, evenJiang Moliang.
Lan pointed at Jiang Chen’s location as she shouted, “Look over there!”
When the other people looked, they witnessed the fiery evil flame soaring into the sky.
“This place is dangerous!” Jiang Moliang took Jiang Yan’s corpse before she left with the other three women.
“SisterMoliang, will the young master be all right?” Lan couldn’t set her mindat ease, and she still couldn’t be of any help to him.
“It willdepend on his luck.” She really didn’t know whether it would beconsidered a violation of the Blood Oath if Jiang Chen was killed by theAlien Flame, but like Lan, Jiang Moliang was also incapable ofcontaining what was happening. She transmitted this news back to herfamily in a transmission mode used only for emergencies. Jiang Moliangknew clearly that such news would cause a great sensation in the Jiangfamily if it reached them.
“He collected the Alien Flame,” Tang s.h.i.+ya said suddenly.
Theywitnessed the Sky-Burning Evil Flame shrinking down, while the burningmountain and forest’s flame were also absorbed into that area. In thetwinkling of an eye, the flames disappeared and left behind just acharred land with rising smoke.
Jiang Chen, who had already changed into a new set of clothes, flew into the sky before rus.h.i.+ng toward them.
“His power rose further on.” Tang s.h.i.+ya felt sad as she thought about this.
JiangMoliang went over to him and asked, “How did you manage to s.n.a.t.c.h theSky-Burning Evil Flame?” This was what she couldn’t understand. Itwasn’t like the Jiang family hadn’t considered extracting the AlienFlame from Jiang Yan’s body, but they hadn’t managed to do so. Yet JiangChen had managed to s.n.a.t.c.h the Alien Flame when it went out of control.How many secrets does this person hide? Jiang Moliang couldn’t help butwonder.
“You won’t believe it, even if I tell you.” Jiang Chenjust beat around the bush, even though he really didn’t lie. If heinformed them that the Alien Flame submitted to him by itself after heannounced his status, they would just take him for a madman.
Nowthat he thought of it again, the flame spirit quieted completely afterit said, “Greetings, Your Highness.” Regardless of how Jiang Chen calledit, it wouldn’t respond. It was as if the flame spirit had disappearedcompletely. He even started suspecting he had misheard it. However, theSky-Burning Evil Flame really had obeyed his order and entered his body.
JiangChen surmised that most of the flame spirit had disappeared along withthe elapsing of such a long time, and it just used its last power totransmit those words to him. Jiang Chen was oblivious as to why it endedup falling into the Three Middle Realms, and he was also oblivious tohis father’s current situation. However, since his father lost theSky-Burning Evil Flame, his power would deteriorate greatly, and itwouldn’t manage to get back to its peak state again.
JiangChen couldn’t help but become slightly pessimistic due to suchcirc.u.mstances. The Over Cloud Palace, which existed 500 years ago, hadprobably already disappeared. However, Jiang Chen could still faintlyfeel that something was awaiting him in the Sacred Zone, and he neededto go solve all of those mysteries.
At this moment, a group ofblack-armored guards, as well as several powerful aurae, approached themfrom the direction of Beiliang City. “You should all go back toBeiliang City without us,” Jiang Moliang said to Lan and the otherwomen. It wasn’t appropriate for outsiders to witness what would occurafterward, as they might kill all the witnesses.
Tang s.h.i.+ya and YuLing didn’t hesitate and quickly flew away. This was especially thecase for Yu Ling, as she was afraid that Jiang Chen would cause troublefor her. As for Lan, she wasn’t willing to leave, and it was only whenJiang Chen and Jiang Moliang glared at her with their stern gazes thatshe finally left.
“You asked him all along to spare me, but younever asked me to spare him,” Jiang Chen stated when he felt JiangMoliang’s reproachful gaze.
Jiang Moliang sneered coldly as she replied, “That’s right, isn’t? This isn’t related to you at all.”
JiangChen quieted and didn’t say anything more. He turned his attention tothe Jiang family’s troops, who were coming over. The black-armoredguards were Beiliang City’s guards. Jiang Chen knew most of them, and itwas also the case for the two Celestial Venerables.
However, theleaders of this group weren’t the two Celestial Venerables but threegray-haired old men at the Celestial Venerable Realm. They all wore asolemn look, didn’t utter a single word, and just went to receive JiangYan’s corpse.
After they verified that the Sky-Burning Evil Flamein Jiang Yan’s body had disappeared, they cast their gazes upon JiangChen. “Young Master Feng, please hand over the Sky-Burning Evil Flame.”Sure enough, they made that request. It seemed reasonable and fair tothem.
“If I release the Sky-Burning Evil Flame in my body, will your Jiang family be capable of subduing it?” Jiang Chen asked.
“It’s none of your business.” The three people didn’t want to argue over it.
“Whatif I refuse?” Jiang Chen spoke coldly. He didn’t feel like he hads.n.a.t.c.hed the Sky-Burning Evil Flame from the Jiang family, but that hehad just taken back his own family’s possession. However, he couldn’tstate such an opinion.
“The Jiang family agreed to provide youwith all its resources, but that doesn’t include letting you kill ourJiang family’s disciple and steal his Alien Flame.” The three CelestialVenerables restrained themselves. If there wasn’t a Blood Oath betweenthem, they would have killed such a person many times.
“What if Irefuse?” Jiang Chen didn’t argue with them and expressed his decision.The sky descended into silence while a bone-chilling killing intentpermeated it.
“We will then capture you and take back the AlienFlame. Moreover, we will probably take other objects from you as well.Is such an outcome to your satisfaction?”
