Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461: Ye Qiubai’s Plan (3/4)

Watching Ye Qiubai, brandishing the Yuncang Sword surrounded by black-gray flames, the flames endlessly shot out like serpents around his body.

Step by step, he slowly approached Commander Yang.

A fierce smile on Commander Yang’s face froze instantaneously and then transformed into disbelief, his pupils filled with horror!

"This... how is this possible..." It seemed that upon seeing Ye Qiubai still alive and without any injuries, Commander Yang’s lingering breath suddenly left him.

His voice became incredibly low and weak.

In the distance, although Commanders Ren and Lin had not fallen, they were still affected and watched this scene in horror.

However, Commander Ren quickly understood.

It must be because of Ye Qiu’s Flame Origin power.

Previously, having entered deep into the volcanic lava, and having endured for a "time" without taking the Divine Fire Pill... if not for going down to bring him up, he probably could’ve endured even longer.

Thinking this made it seem rather normal.

Commander Lin’s face turned somewhat pale, his left leg clearly suffering agitatedly from fire poison, obviously having been affected by the green flame light.

But now, Commander Lin seemed to have no time to attend to his own injuries, instead staring incredulously at Ye Qiubai, "Is this... the Flame Origin? How could he possibly have reached that level?!"

Origin power.

Within the entire Chaos Realm, Ancestral Realm experts simply couldn’t grasp it! Even Demigod and Divine Realm’s mighty experts rarely comprehended it.

When Commander Lin saw that Ye Qiubai’s Sword Dao contained a trace of origin power, he was already very surprised.

But who knew... that the opponent had completely mastered origin power in the flame technique...

Was this person even human?

Watching Ye Qiubai approaching, Commander Yang, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, lifted his head and looked towards Ye Qiubai, his voice trembling, "You... who exactly are you? From where have you come?"

Ye Qiubai looked down at Commander Yang and said, "What use is there in knowing?"

Commander Yang was briefly taken aback, just about to say something, when he saw Ye Qiubai’s blade fall.

Four flashes of silver light simultaneously passed around Commander Yang’s limbs.

Sword qi surged!

Crack crack...

In that moment, all the bones in his hands and legs shattered! The meridians also broke...

Now, even if natural treasures could heal him, it would take decades and the constant nurturing with extremely precious medicinal pills to recover...

Despite the intense pain, Commander Yang was now utterly weakened and could only emit a low, painful groan.

Ye Qiubai put away his sword and looked towards Commander Ren.

Commander Lin, unknown when, had already disappeared from the spot.

At this time, Commander Ren walked up to Ye Qiubai, shaking his head, "I’m sorry, although my strength can suppress Commander Lin, I still couldn’t prevent him from escaping."

At their realm, killing an opponent of the same level was already very difficult.

Unless one possessed combat ability beyond their realm, it was tough to hold the opponent.

Ye Qiubai shook his head, "Are the Divine Fire Stones enough?"

Commander Ren nodded.

"Then let’s go back."

After speaking, he took the lead and flew towards the volcanic lineage of the black fire.

Commander Ren glanced one last time at Commander Yang lying groaning on the ground and the twenty or so disciples of both lineages, all of whom had lost their ability to fight, even healing would take years.

There was no longer any threat to them.

Thinking this, he sheathed his sword and followed Ye Qiubai.

However, during their interaction in this period, Commander Ren knew Ye Qiubai was a decisive and ruthless person.

Yet he didn’t eliminate Commander Yang and the others...

Commander Ren shook his head, choosing not to ask.

He must have had his own thoughts and plans.

In any case, for them, as long as it did not affect the ascent of the Shenxuan Fire Tree, that was enough.

After a period of time had passed.

A curvaceous woman arrived where Commander Yang was.

Seeing the terrible scene around her and hearing the moans of dozens of people.

The woman slightly frowned, then looking at Commander Yang who was on the ground, gritting his teeth and recuperating his immortal aura, she asked, "What happened?"

Commander Yang looked at the woman, grinding his teeth, and repeated the events that had transpired.

After hearing this, the woman did not mock or ridicule but said with a solemn face, "It seems this climb of the Shenxuan Fire Tree will encounter some trouble."

Commander Yang roared angrily, "What trouble? No matter what, they’re just at the Intermediate Stage of the Ancestral Realm! When the time comes, can’t the commanders of the Xuan Fire lineage join forces and kill him together?"

Commander Huang, however, sneered and said, "Kill? Do you think other branches won’t make a move against us?"

"Besides, with that kind of intellect, do you think he will voluntarily fall into our trap?"

Intellect?

Commander Yang was slightly stunned.

"Are you blinded by hatred?" Commander Huang’s delicate face showed no courtesy when she looked at Commander Yang, revealing scorn as she scolded, "He is not from our Shenxuan Island; he just came here to train and joined the Black Fire lineage, also aiming for the Shenxuan Fire Tree."

"And the Shenxuan Fire Tree is our Shenxuan Fire Sect’s sect-defining treasure. If an outsider gains an opportunity from it, what kind of scenario do you think that would create?"

Commander Yang was stunned, calming down gradually after hearing this, and upon reflecting on Commander Huang’s words, he showed a realization.

Seeing this, Commander Huang understood that Commander Yang had realized, and with a cold snort, she said, "That’s right, even if he joined the Black Fire lineage as a guest elder, for the Shenxuan Fire Sect, he’s still an outsider."

"And the opportunity from the Shenxuan Fire Tree, no matter who obtains it, must be reported to the sect leader who is currently in seclusion."

"If he obtains the opportunity from the Shenxuan Fire Tree and has killed too many of our sect members, do you think the sect leader will agree to let him take the opportunity away?"

Yes.

Outsiders are, after all, outsiders.

And this one had killed members of their sect.

Even if it wasn’t Ye Qiu’s fault, as the leader of a sect, if he let Ye Qiu take away the opportunity, wouldn’t it cause dissatisfaction among all the members of the sect?

"Do you think he didn’t dare to kill you, or he didn’t have the strength to kill you?" Commander Huang scoffed coldly, "He merely spared you like a dog’s life for the sake of the opportunity."

"To think so far ahead, and also to be able to keep calm and spare an opponent, do you think he’s a simple character?"

Sometimes, killing one person is easy, but to restrain oneself from killing when one can is true wisdom.

Commander Yang said with an ugly expression, "So we just let it go?"

Commander Huang shook her head, using her immortal aura to lift Commander Yang and the others, and while leaving, she said, "When we return, I will inform the other eight branches of this matter."

"At least let the other branches know, this is not just an issue for the Azure Fire branch..."

Binding them into a temporary community of interests, that was the safest approach.
