Under Jian Moyun's lead, the disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain were rushing towards the Fire Marrow Vein where Fang Chen was.
"Senior Brother, look!"
Suddenly, a disciple shouted. Jian Moyun jerked his head up and was astonished.
After a short moment of shock, excitement appeared on his face. "Is that … the Fire Marrow Vein?"
The Fire Marrow Vein was the core of the Sect's mission.
Before entering the Magic Sky Fire Domain, although they knew about the Fire Marrow Vein, they didn't know where it was.
Only by killing a certain number of Fire Demons could they enter the Fire Marrow Vein. From there, they could distribute the rights to the Fire Marrow Vein.
But now, Jian Moyun had discovered the Fire Marrow Vein in advance. This meant that they could enter and obtain the Fire Marrow Vein without anyone noticing.
"I didn't expect the Fire Marrow Vein to be here."
Jian Moyun's eyes flickered. "I think the other Sect's disciples are still killing Fire Demons. Since we found the Fire Marrow Vein, we have the upper hand."
Jian Moyun's intention was simple. He wanted to enter the Fire Marrow Vein first and take it for himself.
"Senior Brother, don't you think it's strange?" A disciple asked.
They had followed Fang Chen all the way here and found the Fire Marrow Vein. What did that mean?
"You mean?"
One-armed Jian Qingyun frowned. "Has the Heaven Defying Alliance found the Fire Marrow Vein?
But if that's the case, why would they expose the location of the Fire Marrow Vein? "
Fang Chen had killed the disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain, so they must have found him. This was tantamount to exposing the location of the Fire Marrow Vein. Jian Qingyun couldn't understand.
"Did they set a trap to kill us?" Suddenly, Jian Qingyun was shocked and his eyelids twitched.
He looked at his brother and saw that Jian Moyun was deep in thought.
"I think Senior Brother Jian Qingyun's words make sense. The disciples of the Heaven Defying Alliance must have heard the news when we posted the bounty. With our understanding of the Heaven Defying Alliance, they will definitely do everything they can to take revenge."
A disciple analyzed, "That day, the strength Fang Chen displayed was comparable to the experts in the top 20 of the Sage Emperor Rankings. If he wanted to, none of us would be able to escape, but he let us go …"
Hearing the analysis of his disciples, Jian Moyun's face darkened.
"An ambush?"
His gaze was deep as he looked at the Fire Essence Mine. At the end of the wasteland, there was a mine shrouded in flames. It was very tempting.
"Hmph, with just them?"
Said another disciple disdainfully. In their opinion, Holy Emperor Bing Bing was only ranked fourth on the Holy Emperor Ranking List, while their eldest disciple was ranked third.
In terms of overall strength, Jian Moyun completely suppressed the Frost Holy Emperor.
That was because everyone knew that the top three on the Sacred Emperor Rankings were on a completely different level compared to the bottom three.
"With Eldest Senior Brother's strength, even if they set up a trap, we have nothing to fear."
The other disciples nodded as well. "Since they lured us here to ambush us, there's no need for us to hold back anymore. Let's just kill them and make them stay here forever."
When Jian Qingyun heard that, his eyes darted around as he pondered.
He hated Fang Chen to the bone. If it weren't for Fang Chen, he wouldn't have lost his arm.
The enmity of losing an arm was absolutely irreconcilable.
"Big brother."
After a long moment of silence, Jian Qingyun finally spoke.
"In the Heaven Defying Alliance, only the Frost Saint Emperor is ranked in the top ten of the Saint Emperor Ranking, and his ranking is lower than yours. I think this is a rare opportunity."
In the outside world, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do anything to the disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
However, this was the Magic Sky Fire Region. Moreover, this was the mysterious Fire Essence Mine. Even if he killed them, there would be no evidence.
"If we want to take the initiative and secretly mine the mines, we have to kill them all."
Soon, the disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain reached a consensus and waited for Jian Moyun to agree.
Whoosh!
Jian Moyun took a deep breath and a strange smile appeared on his face.
He raised his head. His eyes were scarlet, and his body was filled with killing intent.
"Fine, I want to see what kind of trap the Frost Saint Emperor has set for me."
In the Fire Essence Mine.
A circular ball of light appeared in the Frost Saint Emperor's palm. This ball of light contained a spatial mark. They were in an independent space like the Magic Sky Fire Region. If they wanted to communicate with the outside world, they could only do so through the spatial mark.
The spatial mark was extremely precious. Even experts skilled in the Dao of Space might not be able to condense it.
Only the Heaven-Defying Alliance could take out such a precious item.
Weng!
The Frost Saint Emperor activated the ball and the spatial mark flashed. "The spatial mark has been activated. If you have anything to say, say it quickly."
Fang Chen nodded and sent a message with his Primordial Spirit. A Soul Dao ripple twisted in the void before it was absorbed by the spatial mark and disappeared.
Kacha!
The spatial mark dissipated and the ball instantly shattered.
The Frost Saint Emperor's body staggered a few times. His face was pale. It was obvious that activating the spatial mark had made him uncomfortable.
"Senior Brother Frost."
Fang Chen asked. The Frost Saint Emperor shook his head. "I'm fine. The news has already spread. When Peak Master Yun Luo receives the news, he will immediately send a message to Palace Master Lei."
However, he wasn't sure if Palace Master Lei would come. After all, the fight for the Fire Essence Mine was a rule set by the various Sect. Even the Heaven-Defying Alliance had to abide by the rules.
"Senior Brother Frost, you should go and rest. I think the people from the Sword Saint Mountain will be here soon." Fang Chen said.
As the Frost Saint Emperor rested, Fang Chen took the opportunity to check the situation of the Demon Slayer Array. After everything had stabilized, he sat cross-legged in the control center.
Rustle rustle rustle!
After some time, Fang Chen heard the sound of footsteps.
Following which, a clamor of voices could be heard. With a thought, Fang Chen could feel the changes in the Devil Slaying Formation. Slowly opening his eyes, he discovered that Jian Moyun and the remaining disciples of the Swordssaint Mountain had already entered the Devil Slaying Formation.
"Be careful."
Jian Moyun exhorted. He walked at the front and felt that something was amiss.
"This is …"
All of a sudden, he made a grabbing motion in the air, and a ripple was caught in his hand.
"Array?"
Jian Moyun shouted and threw out a punch. The Demon Slayer Array rippled and shook, but it eventually stabilized.
A powerful force swept through the Demon Slayer Array. Jian Moyun looked coldly at the control center.
"It's you."
Jian Moyun said coldly. His gaze swept across Saint Emperor Frost and the other three. "You want to deal with me, Jian Moyun, with such a formation?"
Soon, Jian Moyun regained his composure and stood with his hands behind his back.
…
Dao Palace, Myriad Dao World.
Palace Master Lei was about to leave the Myriad Dao World after settling the matters of the Dao Palace.
However, right at this moment, the void tore apart and a figure flashed out.
"Daoyun?"
The person was Wang Daoyun, the genius of the Nine Regions Branch. He was also in charge of keeping an eye on Fang Chen's daily life. Palace Master Lei was surprised to see him rushing over.
"Palace Master, Fang Chen has sent back a message," Wang Daoyun said.
Palace Master Lei's face changed instantly.
Fang Chen should be aware of the value of the Spatial Imprint. Back then, he had given them one as a precaution.
He would not use it unless he had no other choice.
Now that the Space Mark had sent back a message, something big must have happened.
"What's the message?" Palace Master Lei asked sharply.
"Peak Master Yun Luo told me that the message from the Space Mark was from Huo Kong." In fact, Wang Daoyun was also confused. What did it mean?
When Palace Master Lei heard the name Huo Kong, he was sure that the message was from Fang Chen.
"I see. You can leave now."
Palace Master Lei waved his hand and asked Wang Daoyun to leave.
"He must have sent back the name Huo Kong because he did not want the other disciples to know about it.
Back then, Huo Kong Saint and Xue Qi Saint were part of the same batch of experts. He should know about the secret of the Perfect Bloodline. I think Fang Chen must have obtained the inheritance of Huo Kong Saint, "Palace Master Lei guessed.
"It's a serious matter. I'd better go there personally."
No matter what it was, the name Huo Kong was enough for Palace Master Lei to make a trip there personally.
…
When Palace Master Lei left the Myriad Dao World, there was also a fierce battle in the Fire Marrow Mine.
Fang Chen had used the power of the Demon Slayer Array to kill all the remaining disciples of Sword Saint Mountain, leaving only Jian Qingyun and Jian Moyun.
"It's your turn now," Fang Chen shrugged.
The Demon Slayer Array could suppress the Origin Energy of the disciples of Sword Saint Mountain, but they could not. Instead, it would increase their strength slightly.
"Damn it."
Jian Moyun's eyes were red and he was furious.
He had attacked several times but was stopped by Sacred Emperor Han Bing, Sacred Emperor Mo Bai, and the other two. He could only watch helplessly as his Junior Brothers were killed.
"You have successfully infuriated me."
Sword Qi burst out from Jian Moyun's body as he tore apart the seal.
"I was going to use this trump card to challenge the top of the Sacred Emperor Leaderboard, but you made me use it in advance. Today, all of you will die."
As he spoke, the aura on Jian Moyun's body had reached its peak.
Sacred Emperor Han Bing cursed inwardly. Jian Moyun's strength had broken through the shackles and reached the level of a Sage.
"Rank 7?"
Sacred Emperor Mo Bai's voice was anxious.
"No, he did not break through his cultivation level. He must have cultivated some kind of secret technique that allowed his strength to break through the shackles in a short period of time.
This kind of secret technique should have a time limit. We can't take it head-on, we just have to drag it out, "Purple Butterfly said.
"Hahaha, it's useless."
Jian Moyun laughed maniacally as his Sword Qi burst out into the sky. Even Jian Qingyun was terrified.
"Demon Slayer Array, slay all evil."
Fang Chen quickly formed seals with his hands and the structure of the Demon Slayer Array changed continuously to suppress the berserk Jian Moyun.
"The four of you, return to your original positions," Fang Chen called out.
Sacred Emperor Han Bing and the other three did not hesitate and returned to their original positions to help Fang Chen control the Demon Slayer Array.
"You repulsive people joined hands to deal with my brother. How can I let you succeed?"
