Chapter 1372: Vermilion Bird Great Saint, why not slay you
"The Holy Court?" The woman furrowed her brows slightly.
With a cold snort, she said, "No wonder they dared to act this way, turns out they found a new backer."
"But don't worry, the passage leading to the Blazing Flame Realm must be in the hands of our Sun Palace.
We will spare no cost.
Even if the Holy Court intervenes, it doesn't matter if we become enemies."
"That's fine then," Xu Zimei said with a smile as he stood up.
"Considering the time, it should be soon.
Let's go, let's meet the people of the Heavenly Fire family."
The three of them stayed in this inn, which wasn't hard for the Heavenly Fire family to investigate.
Moreover, their identities weren't really a secret.
Sage Zixia had rescued the woman.
The Heavenly Fire family wasn't worried either.
Because the Five Elements Lotus had been closed, no one could leave from the Lotus Pond Secluded Path.
The group walked out of the inn.
The woman seemed to sense something, her gaze directed towards the direction of the Heavenly Fire family.
She witnessed an overwhelming aura that seemed to carry the firmament, walking step by step toward this world.
As he arrived, a river of spiritual energy hung upside down on the firmament, directly suppressing this area.
"This is one of the ancestors of the Heavenly Fire family, the Vermilion Bird Great Saint," the woman said.
"I heard he once acquired the Vermilion Bird's bloodline.
So, he's naturally connected to fire, be cautious."
"What do you think?" Xu Zimei asked Sage Zixia.
"He's just an Eternal Realm Great Saint, watch me cut him down," Sage Zixia replied arrogantly.
His Holy King realm was already mostly stable.
Slashing an Eternal being wasn't too challenging for him.
In the Great Saint realm, even a small realm difference was worlds apart.
"Where is the Blazing Flame Grand Envoy?" the Vermilion Bird Great Saint asked as he arrived, looking towards the inn.
His eyes spewed powerful flames.
This voice spread throughout the Lotus Pond Secluded Path.
Sleeping residents were woken.
People buzzed with discussion, but it was destined to be a sleepless night.
Everyone observed the commotion in the direction of the inn.
A ray of rosy light shot into the sky, illuminating the darkness of the deep night.
The rosy light bathed the earth, bringing light.
Majestic holy power stood in opposition to the Vermilion Bird Great Saint.
"Which fellow Daoist has arrived, please come out."
Feeling the imposing manner emanating from the other party.
The Vermilion Bird Great Saint asked solemnly.
Sage Zixia stepped into the air, smiling lightly, "Tonight, I break into your Heavenly Fire family, you better be prepared to die."
"I was wondering who it was, the Holy Court couldn't find you, didn't expect you to walk into the trap yourself," the Vermilion Bird Great Saint snorted coldly.
"If you submit now, I can speak well of you with the Holy Court.
Otherwise, suffer the consequences."
"I heard your Heavenly Fire family came from the Sun Palace.
Since when did you become the Holy Court's lapdogs," Sage Zixia retorted sharply.
"A wise bird chooses the tree it nests in, the Sun Palace is too small a tree.
Can't accommodate our Heavenly Fire family," replied the Vermilion Bird Great Saint.
"Water flows to a higher place, isn't that a common occurrence.
Nothing to be said about it."
"In that case, let's see what you can do," Sage Zixia replied.
The purple mist on his body turned into a purple sun.
In this darkness, it was quite striking, countless rays of purple mist spread out.
As Sage Zixia stepped into the air, a colorful path unfolded beneath his feet.
His power vast like a sea.
As fierce as a purgatory.
The Vermilion Bird Great Saint was unwilling to show weakness, the Vermilion Bird's fire burned incessantly.
This flame incinerated the Eight Desolates, setting the entire firmament ablaze.
The Vermilion Bird Great Saint appeared as if he had walked out of a sea of fire.
......
"Let's go, we will go to the Heavenly Fire family," Xu Zimei said.
Bright Moon Fairy and the woman closely followed.
As for the battle between Sage Zixia and the others, they paid no more attention.
The Heavenly Fire family was already on high alert.
On either side of the door, it was no longer the two guards from before.
But two elderly men as ancient as fossils.
These two elders stood motionless, only the immense aura emanated from their bodies.
"The Heavenly Fire Two Elders," the woman of the Blazing Flame Grand Envoy appeared visibly uneasy.
Because among those who besieged her before, were these two.
"I will only hold Huo Tianxiong responsible for his decision.
When the Sun Palace seeks blame, none of you can escape," the woman said to the Heavenly Fire Two Elders.
"If you turn from darkness to light now, I won't implicate the Heavenly Fire family.
Don't follow Huo Tianxiong alone and ruin the entire Heavenly Fire family."
"Grand Envoy, we know what our Heavenly Fire family has done over the years.
We've long since had no retreat," the Heavenly Fire Two Elders shook their heads.
They said, "Before, when the Blazing Flame Grand Envoy came, we could bribe and delay matters.
But you're impervious, insistent on tearing things apart.
Since it's come to this, there's no turning back."
"Bright Moon, you hold off these two, I'll take her inside," Xu Zimei said.
This woman could reach the Sun Palace, naturally, Xu Zimei wanted to ensure her safety.
Even though he wasn't afraid of the Heavenly Fire family.
He couldn't guarantee the Holy Court wouldn't act. Facing two colossal entities simultaneously would be quite troublesome.
It's better to draw the Sun Palace into the fray.
The murkier the water, the more advantageous it would be for him.
"Don't worry," Bright Moon Fairy nodded.
Although these two elders were strong, if the goal was only to hold them off, Bright Moon Fairy could manage.
......
The long moon hung in the sky, the moon was like ice.
Bright Moon Fairy ascended into the air, freezing the entire world beneath her feet.
The Cold Ice City enveloped the area, and she was already fighting the two elders.
Xu Zimei and the woman from the Blazing Flame Grand Envoy exchanged a glance and slowly walked into the Heavenly Fire family.
The Heavenly Fire family was vast.
A single glance saw countless palatial halls and pavilions standing like high-rise buildings.
Even though it was late at night.
Through the Heavenly Fire family, fireballs still danced in the air, lighting up the entire family.
But at this moment, the Heavenly Fire family seemed exceptionally deathly silent.
As if not a single soul was present.
"You know the location of that passage, right," Xu Zimei asked.
"Of course, when I came from the Blazing Flame Realm, I came through that passage," the woman nodded.
"They must have set up a Heavenly Net Earthly Trap waiting for us there.
Just the two of us, are you sure you want to go?"
"Are you scared?" Xu Zimei smiled.
"It's not being scared, but meaningless battles aren't worthwhile," the woman shook her head.
"Follow me, I'll ensure you get the message into the passage," Xu Zimei said.
"However, if the Sun Palace doesn't dare to come, today might be troublesome for us."
"Don't worry, they will definitely come," the woman replied confidently.
The two headed towards the direction of the passage.
After walking for over ten minutes, a killing aura began to emanate around them.
Xu Zimei suddenly stopped his steps.
"What's wrong?" the woman asked.
"Ahead is a Formation," Xu Zimei replied.
"Stay close to me, don't wander around."
