"Submit to me or be devoured!" Ling Xiao said faintly to the lonely Xiao Huo.
This kind of Worldly Flame had long since gained sentience after countless years. Therefore, Ling Xiao knew that Xiaohuo would definitely be able to understand what he meant.
Xiao Huo was still struggling to support the blue flame as it devoured its energy bit by bit.
If it did not choose to compromise, it knew that it would be finished first.
"If you submit, I'll shake you three times. Otherwise … you can just wait to disappear!" Ling Xiao said again.
That brown serene flame actually swayed agilely three times. It looked extremely cute, like a fire elf.
"Very good, fly over here." Ling Xiao stretched out a finger, and on it was the spatial ring that the Obsidian Cauldron had transformed into.
In the first level of the Obsidian Cauldron, there was a space the size of a city. Ling Xiao planned to store the Brown Serene Flame here first, so that he could use it in the future.
In order to survive, the Brown Serene Flame naturally listened to Ling Xiao's words. It flew directly to the Obsidian Cauldron, and a suction force sucked it in.
Ling Xiao looked inside and marked out an area for the Brown Serene Flame to survive. Otherwise, it would burn everything inside, and that would be troublesome.
Looking at the Brown Serene Flame that had calmed down, Ling Xiao was finally relieved.
He did not expect that Danchen Dao, who had been famous for hundreds of years, would end up helping him after failing to snatch his Heavenly Flame, allowing him to obtain the Brown Serene Flame.
It had to be said that Ling Xiao's luck was really not something that ordinary people could compare to.
As Ling Xiao stored the Brown Serene Flame, the high heat in the mountain gradually disappeared.
In the near future, that place would be renewed with vitality.
Looking at the auction house that was already being built, Ling Xiao sighed inwardly, "It's time to go back."
The auction house here had a professional architect sent by the Tang Family and a certain amount of helpers provided by the Nangong Family. The embryonic form of the auction house was already at hand.
At this time, Ling Xiao seemed to have finished his business in the Southern Region. He had to rush back to the Guji Tribe and tell them the news here so that they could move their tribe back to the old site. At the same time, he planned to refine the Vitality Pill to prolong the life of the priestess.
Cai Xia Yue felt Ling Xiao's thoughts of leaving. She was passionate and unrestrained all night, as if she wanted to squeeze Ling Xiao dry before she was willing to stop.
Early the next morning, Ling Xiao changed into his new clothes. He looked very handsome and extraordinary.
Cai Xia Yue hugged Ling Xiao from behind in an intoxicated manner and said, "When will I be able to stay by your side all the time?
I don't want to be away from you.
The effect of the Love Knot Flower made Cai Xiayue give all of her body and mind to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao turned around and stared at Cai Xia Yue's flawless face. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, it won't take long. But it's very dangerous to follow me. Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. What do I have to be afraid of? I know that my husband will protect me," Cai Xiayue replied with certainty.
An Earth Sovereign Stage expert being protected by a King Stage expert. If word of this got out, people would probably laugh their teeth off.
However, Cai Xiayue was not joking.
She was able to reach the Sovereign Stage so quickly because of Ling Xiao, and she also knew Ling Xiao's ability. She knew that as long as he was around, she would never be bullied by others.
Looking at the cute and helpless beauty in his arms, Ling Xiao hugged her tightly, a sense of satisfaction welling up in his heart.
If he stayed in Gu City for the rest of his life, perhaps he could bring all the women he liked over and enjoy the happiness of having multiple wives.
But he was not the kind of man who was content with the status quo. His dedication to martial arts was not something that others could understand. He had longed for the holy land of martial arts for a long time. If he did not go there, how could he be worthy of his dignified body?
"Believe me, I will be back soon. When I come back, we will be together forever," Ling Xiao promised very seriously.
He did not know that when he left this time, another woman had paid a long time to wait for him.
Ling Xiao explained all the things that should be explained to Cai Xiayue and Poison Scorpion. He took Cruel Leopard and Xin Li on their return journey.
As for Sun Xiaonan, he entrusted Cai Xiayue to teach her. The cousins could only separate for the time being.
After a long and arduous journey, Ling Xiao and the other two actually returned to the edge of the Southern Wilderness.
At this time, a shocking news had spread in the Southern Wilderness.
Gu City was rebuilt, the Gu Clan returned soon, and the Emperor's son-in-law was in charge of Gu City.
This news was like a plague. In just one month, all the cities in the Southern Region, big and small, knew about it.
They were all puzzled. Had the once powerful Gu Clan returned?
They knew that perhaps the Southern Region was going to change.
When they arrived at Nantian City again, it was still so lively.
Ling Xiao had no time to stay. He came to the entrance of the Transmission Array and returned directly to the Thousand Beast City.
Back in the Thousand Beast City, Ling Xiao wanted to visit the Lyu Mansion, but when he left here, the Lyu sisters' resentful eyes, he had to give up the idea.
Ling Xiao glanced in the direction of the Lyu Mansion, and then entered the Transmission Array to return to Purple Heaven City.
The transmission entrance of the Purple Heaven Sect was in the Purple Maple Valley, and the exit of the Transmission Array was outside the Purple Heaven City.
It was just that Ling Xiao didn't know it before.
It had been nearly half a year since he went to the Secret Realm of the Heaven Suppressing Sect to participate in the Sect Pledge Assembly.
Ling Xiao couldn't wait to go back to see his master and his woman.
The two deacons of the Purple Heaven Sect, who were guarding the Transmission Array, suddenly saw the movement of the Transmission Array and immediately asked nervously: "Who is it?"
Ling Xiao was a little puzzled. Why were people so nervous when they came back from the Transmission Array?
Ling Xiao didn't want to talk much, and an elder token appeared in his hand.
When the two Spirit Masters saw the token, their expressions changed slightly. They took a closer look at Ling Xiao, and one of them exclaimed: "You … you are Elder Ling?"
Ling Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, I am Ling Xiao. Deacons, seeing that you are so nervous, do few people use this Transmission Array?"
To be honest, this was the first time Ling Xiao had used the Transmission Array to return to Purple Heaven City from elsewhere, so he didn't know what was going on and asked curiously.
One of the Spirit Masters said: "Elder Ling, you … you should go back to the sect and have a look, the sect is a bit messy now."
"The sect is a bit messy?" Ling Xiao was shocked and his heart was in his throat.
"Mu …" Elder Mu and the Sect Master had some conflicts, causing everyone to be in a state of panic. "The other Spirit Master replied with a stutter.
Ling Xiao frowned. He really wanted to return to the sect immediately, but listening to the words of the two deacons, it seemed that things had not developed too badly. He first brought Savage Leopard and Xin Li back to the courtyard he had bought before to settle down.
Then, he impatiently flew into the sect.
… ….
Before Ling Xiao returned to the Purple Sky Sect, something unexpected happened here.
The people from the Seventh Grade Sect, the Heavy Sword Sect, actually came to the Purple Sky Sect to propose marriage, and the target of the proposal was the daughter of the Purple Sky Sect's Sect Master, Yun Mengqi.
This matter came very suddenly and also very strange.
This caught the Purple Sky Sect off guard.
Originally, in the secret realm, the people of the Heavy Sword Sect had already formed a grudge with the new generation of the Purple Sky Sect.
However, all the disciples of the Heavy Sword Sect who participated in the Sect Oath Assembly died inside, and the outside world did not know about this.
However, the Heavy Sword Sect had broken through to the Purple Sky Sect to form a marriage alliance, which was indeed puzzling.
Everyone thought that the Purple Sky Sect would definitely not agree to this marriage alliance.
After all, everyone in the younger generation hated the Heavy Sword Sect to the bone.
However, the result was unexpected. The Purple Sky Sect's Sect Master Yun Xiong actually agreed to the Heavy Sword Sect's request, and sent Yun Mengqi to the Heavy Sword Sect to hold a wedding within three months.
When this news came out, everyone was in an uproar. No one thought that Yun Xiong would actually agree to this marriage alliance.
However, the elites of the younger generation were unable to accept this result. They still remembered how Luo Meiying died, and they also remembered who was left in the secret realm indefinitely.
All of this was done by the Heavy Sword Sect.
They swore that one day, they would wash the Heavy Sword Sect in blood, but now the Sect Master had agreed to a marriage alliance with them, which almost made them go crazy.
On this matter, most of the higher ups of the Purple Sky Sect had reached a consensus, but Mu Qifeng sang a different tune, while the Jade Spring Pavilion maintained their silence.
Everyone knew that the one who stayed in the secret realm forever was Mu Huai's precious disciple.
Mu Huai wanted to kill his way to the Heavy Sword Sect to seek justice for his disciple, but he knew that he wanted to but was powerless. He could only endure it in his heart. He knew that it would be very difficult for him to vent the resentment in his heart in this lifetime.
However, the sect actually agreed to a marriage alliance with the Heavy Sword Sect. Mu Huai absolutely could not tolerate it.
Therefore, Mu Huai resolutely slapped the board with Sect Master Yun Xiong and shouted, "If the sect really has a marriage alliance with the Heavy Sword Sect, then their Mu Qifeng will leave the sect!"
The Purple Sky Sect had nine great peaks, and they had always been extremely united and harmonious, but now that such a sudden conflict had occurred, it made people feel as if a mountain storm was coming.
Mu Huai's resolute attitude shocked everyone, but Yun Xiong said that it was for the future development of the sect. With a seventh rank sect as backup, the Purple Sky Sect might have a chance to rise to a higher level in the future, and they should not mix their personal interests in front of everyone's interests.
Unfortunately, Mu Huai was stubborn, and the entire Mu Qifeng also supported Mu Huai's decision.
For a time, there was a situation of internal turmoil within the sect.
However, the majority of the peaks leaned towards Sect Master Yun Xiong's decision.
After all, a marriage alliance with a seventh rank sect would greatly improve the prestige of the Purple Sky Sect, and it would allow the Purple Sky Sect's status to be even more consolidated. In the future, perhaps it would be able to rise by one or two ranks in the ranking competition, so presumably, it wouldn't be a problem.
In this marriage alliance, the Heavy Sword Sect's partner was their Young Sect Master, Luo Batian.
Luo Batian was a genius of the Heavy Sword Sect, and he'd just turned 30, yet he already possessed the strength of a high stage King Rank expert.
In the vast northwest, he was absolutely an extraordinary genius.
It was said that he was the closed door disciple of the Heavenly Exalt of the Heavy Sword Sect, and his combat strength was extraordinary.
It was no wonder that Yun Xiong would agree to this marriage alliance.
If the partner was an insignificant disciple of the Heavy Sword Sect, then presumably he wouldn't make such a decision.
Everyone wanted to know exactly what Yun Mengqi, as the person involved, was thinking.
In the end, the answer was announced, and Yun Mengqi agreed to this marriage alliance.
After this news was announced, the entire Purple Sky Sect was in an uproar.
Could it be that even Yun Mengqi couldn't avoid it?
Did she want to marry into a seventh rank sect and become the future Sect Master's wife?
Perhaps she only wanted to cultivate in a better place?
Or perhaps she was fascinated and admired Luo Batian's valiant strength?
Perhaps only she knew the answer to this!
