Chapter 225: Chapter 222: PursuitThe members of Wildfire Sect rushed over, and the first to arrive were none other than Di Huang, the Sect Leader of Wildfire Sect, and those two great internal Elders, Li Tong and Ouyang Lie. "The spot where the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire descended is right here," Ouyang Lie said, pointing at the hole in front of him. "Really? How come I can’t feel even a trace of the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire’s aura?" Di Huang’s face appeared somewhat somber; this was the first time in hundreds of years that the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire had escaped from the Fire Refining Tower. If they lost the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, it would truly be a heavy blow for their Wildfire Sect. At this moment, inside that black hole, Ye Xuan, Mu Yan, and the Flood Dragon were all inside, clearly discussing their strategy. Ye Xuan wasn’t afraid of clashing with the people from Wildfire Sect to the death, but the problem was that he couldn’t reveal his identity directly. Once recognized by the people of Wildfire Sect, he would likely be unable to stay in the Tiannan Region any longer. Although he would leave the Tiannan Region soon, he didn’t want to leave in such a manner. "I have a way." Mu Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and then she flipped over her jade hand, taking out three ghost masks, "Put these on." Ye Xuan was also stunned for a moment, then quickly understood Mu Yan’s intention and without saying a word, took two masks from her, put on one, and handed the other to the Flood Dragon. "What’s the purpose of wearing this thing?" The Flood Dragon held the ghost mask in his hand, somewhat puzzled and confused, but since he knew the situation was urgent, he put it on as well. "Let’s go!" Ye Xuan signaled to the two, then took the lead and swept out of the hole, followed closely by the Flood Dragon and Mu Yan. Upon exiting the hole, the three of them faced the members of Wildfire Sect who had already dismounted their flying Demon Beasts, their gazes meeting. "Hm?" When Di Huang, Ouyang Lie, and the others saw Ye Xuan and his companions wearing ghost masks emerging from below the hole, they were also taken aback, then frowned, "It’s indeed you, the fiends of the Black Demon Sect." "So what if it is?" Ye Xuan secretly smiled; wearing the mask of the Black Demon Sect was indeed intimidating, then he slightly altered his voice, speaking confidently. "Demon, hand over the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire quickly, or I’ll make sure you die without a burial site!" Ouyang Lie’s eyes flashed with a cold and deadly intention. "Alright, I’ll give it back to you right now." Ye Xuan smiled, then flipped his palm, and a deep red flame rose in his palm. With a flick of his hand, it flew straight towards Ouyang Lie. Seeing that Ye Xuan really handed over the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, Mu Yan also became somewhat nervous, but just as she was about to say something, Ye Xuan shook his head, and she had no choice but to hold back. "You know your place, demon." Seeing the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire flying towards him, Ouyang Lie was initially startled, then a smile crept onto his face as he reached out for the fire. The fireball flew in a straight line and quickly reached Ouyang Lie. However, just as Ouyang Lie was about to capture the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, Ye Xuan’s lips curled up into a strange smile, then he slightly opened his mouth and let out a sudden roar. "Explode!" As soon as the word "explode" left his mouth, the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire in front of Ouyang Lie burst open suddenly, like gunpowder exploding, and its violent blaze instantly engulfed Ouyang Lie’s figure. "Elder Ouyang!" With the unexpected explosion of the fireball, Di Huang and Li Tong were also shocked. The explosion just now was no trivial matter; they looked closely and saw that Ouyang Lie reappeared at the site of the explosion. However, Ouyang Lie now looked extremely disheveled, his clothing tattered, bleeding from his mouth and nose, his body scorched black, resembling a fire worker, with not a trace of the dignity of a Wildfire Sect Elder. Pfft! Seeing Ouyang Lie’s appearance, Mu Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Witnessing this embarrasing state with her own eyes, she couldn’t imagine that the usually high and mighty Ouyang Lie could have such a humiliating moment. Back at the Blood Swamp, Ouyang Lie had almost taken her life; now, seeing him made such a mess by Ye Xuan was indeed a substantial form of retribution for her. Even the other Wildfire Sect disciples who had followed could not help but laugh secretly at the sight of Ouyang Lie. Ouyang Lie wasn’t exactly well-regarded within the Sect, often putting on airs in front of the disciples, and now seeing him make a fool of himself brought secret pleasure to many of them. "You beast... you’re seeking death!" Ouyang Lie trembled with fury; never since he had become an internal Elder of the Wildfire Sect had he suffered such a great humiliation, deceived so thoroughly. Just as he was about to fight Ye Xuan to the death, Di Huang stepped forward, blocking Ouyang Lie, and looked at Ye Xuan with a solemn expression, disbelief in his voice, "You’ve already refined the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire?" "As you can see, yes, the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire has become the possession of our sacred church." Ye Xuan stretched out both hands at the same time, and two flames ignited in the palms of his hands, controlled at will. "Indeed." A chill surfaced simultaneously in the eyes of Di Huang, Li Tong, and the others. What had exploded on Ouyang Lie’s body was just a strand of the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, while its main body was in the grasp of Ye Xuan—he hadn’t expected that the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire had truly been refined by Ye Xuan. "Damn it. Who exactly are you?" A hidden anger welled up in his heart. Di Huang couldn’t fathom how the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, something even he could not contain, was actually refined by the Demon in front of him. Who was this person? Could it be that the Bright and Dark Ming King himself had come in person? "Who am I?" As Ye Xuan’s thoughts churned, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Since you asked, might as well tell you, I am one of the next generation of the Four Great Ming Kings of the sacred church, the Heaven-Extinguishing Ming King." "These two beside me are my right-hand men. How about that, are you surprised how I could refine the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire? Perhaps for you, the Sect Leader of the Wildfire Sect, this is quite a difficult task, but for me, it’s a piece of cake." Thinking that his real identity must not be exposed, Ye Xuan decided to blurt out a fake one instead. After all, the real Heaven-Extinguishing Ming King had long been gone, and the people from the Wildfire Sect definitely had no clue. As for the Black Demon Sect, all the major sects had always had limited understanding. Mu Yan, standing beside him, couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xuan as she listened to his wild concoction; it seemed he might be overdoing the act a little. "It’s impossible! How can the Heaven-Extinguishing Ming King of the Black Demon Sect be just a Second Grade Martial Sect?" Li Tong’s face displayed disbelief as he shouted. "I already said I was newly appointed, whether you believe it is up to you." Ye Xuan smiled coldly, "This king has no time to play with you. Since the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire is in my hands, today’s business ends here, farewell may be forever." With that, Ye Xuan made a gesture as if he wanted to leave. "Thinking of leaving? It’s not that easy! No matter who you claim to be, the Heaven-Extinguishing Ming King, you won’t leave easily today!" The Molten Lava Earth Core Fire was the lifeline of the Wildfire Sect, of course Di Huang and the others wouldn’t just watch as Ye Xuan took it away. No matter what, they had to snatch it back, and if they could kill Ye Xuan, the one who had refined it, then they could successfully reclaim the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure dashed out like lightning. At the same time, Ouyang Lie, Li Tong, and even the Elders of the Wildfire Sect and Fang Ziyue, the True Disciples, all charged out, attacking the trio led by Ye Xuan. The moment Di Huang and the others charged out, Mu Yan made her move first, raising her hands, between which the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl emerged, emitting a sound that resembled the wailing of ghosts and gods. "The Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl!" Di Huang and the others’ faces changed abruptly, and they hastened to slow down. In their line of sight, faces of ghosts wafted out of the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, descending in a dense swarm towards the members of the Wildfire Sect. Except for the three, Di Huang and the others, everyone was ensnared by the faces released by the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, forced to halt their advance and battle with the ghostly faces. "Kill them!" Murderous intent intensified in Di Huang’s eyes, and after shouting, he burst forth explosively. Behind him, surging crimson True Qi quickly formed a vast sea of fire that spanned a hundred yards. As he charged, the sea of fire swept out with ferocity, scorching the air into a vacuum in its wake. The Burning Sky Martial Scripture, in the hands of Di Huang, the Sect Leader of the Wildfire Sect, undoubtedly displayed the most formidable power. Faced with Di Huang’s ferocious charge, Ye Xuan had wanted to test which was stronger between the Burning Sky Martial Scripture and the Nine Heavens Thunder Scripture, but on second thought, Di Huang was a formidable force, and showing any sign of weakness in a confrontation would be bad. Swoosh! The Flood Dragon took action first, a glacial blue light concentrating at the front of his fist before he ferociously struck out, the fist’s energy transforming into a dragon, freezing a straight line in the void facing Di Huang. Boom! Ice and fire collided, creating a tremendous disturbance in the air. Di Huang’s offensive was hindered, and his face showed a slight change as he realized the Flood Dragon was not simple. At that moment, Ouyang Lie and Li Tong both turned their attacks towards Ye Xuan and Mu Yan. As Mu Yan was controlling the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, she clearly had no leeway to fight. Ye Xuan’s figure flashed, positioning himself in front of Mu Yan and directly facing Ouyang Lie and Li Tong, two of the Wildfire Sect’s Inner Sect Elders. "Seeking death!" Seeing Ye Xuan block their path, Ouyang Lie and the other were pleased. If they could kill Ye Xuan, everything would be resolved. "Great Wild Inferno Blade!" Li Tong wielded a crimson treasure blade, and as he swung it, it released a desolate aura. The blade light seemed to descend from the heavens, expanding to a massive forty to fifty yards and slashing down with force. "Meteor Bursting Fist!" On the other side, Ouyang Lie let out a furious punch. With his launch, it was as though countless burning meteors were being hurled out, emitting a highly unstable aura as if upon contact with anything, they would explode violently, shattering everything.
