Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 201 Holy Fire Order

On that day, Huang Sixi and Huang Rong were invited by the Shi siblings to enter the Sacred Fire Hall of Guangmingding.

Huang Sixi and Huang Rong will stay here for the next three days until the 'Old Man in the Mountain' of the Persian Ming Cult arrives.

The Shi siblings had been forced into a desperate situation by the 'old man in the mountains'. They had originally planned to accept their fate, but then they met Huang Sixi, who agreed to stand up for them and help them resist the powerful enemy.

They didn't know whether Huang Sixi could defeat the 'Old Man in the Mountain' and the masters of the Persian Ming Cult, but judging from the current situation, Huang Sixi was their only lifeline and they had to hold on to him no matter what.

After arriving at the Sacred Fire Hall, Huang Sixi and Huang Rong were invited to take a seat. Sister Shi rolled up her sleeves, brought the kettle, and personally made tea for the two of them.

The elder sister of the Shi family was named Xinrou and her younger brother was named Xinjian.

Huang Rong saw that Shi Xinrou's movements in pouring tea were not very experienced, and probably she had never done such rough work before, so she asked, "Your house is so big, is it just you and your sister who live here?"

"Now it's just Jian'er and I!"

Shi Xinrou sighed softly, "A few days ago, dozens of my fellow disciples were angry that the 'old man in the mountain' forced me to get married, so they started fighting with the masters of the Persian Mingjiao. In the end, they didn't win, and they were all chased out of Guangmingding."

In fact, most of the fellow disciples were afraid of the assassination methods of the "Old Man in the Mountain" and worried about being assassinated, so they took the initiative to flee from Guangmingding. Those followers who were loyal to the Central Plains Mingjiao had followed Master Shi and died in the war with Khwarezm.

However, these were all private internal affairs of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains and could not be disclosed to outsiders, so Shi Xinrou simply brushed them off as a defeat.

Huang Rong thought to herself, those fellow disciples were just driven away, not killed, why couldn't they return to Guangmingding? Perhaps those fellow disciples fled privately, or were blocked by the Persian Mingjiao and could not return!
She asked Shi Xinrou: "Did those evil Persian Mingjiao thieves blockade Guangmingding?"

"Ok!"

Shi Xinrou nodded, but she looked surprised: "When I saw Mr. Huang and Miss Huang just now, I was still wondering, the assassins of the Persian Mingjiao are lurking at the foot of the mountain, surrounding the Bright Summit tightly, how did you get up the mountain? If it weren't for your Central Plains appearance, I would have mistaken you for the Persian Mingjiao!"

"No, no, don't call yourself little sister!"

Huang Rong quickly shook her hand: "You are so tall, you should be older than me!"

Huang Sixi, who was listening, couldn't help but laugh. So age can be determined by height?

Shi Xinrou called herself the younger sister just to be humble, not because she thought Huang Rong was old.

She was shy by nature, and when she heard Huang Rong correcting her, she felt that she had said something wrong.

She hurriedly explained, "I have been studying the Four Books and Five Classics with my father since I was young, but I have never been out of Kunlun Mountain. The rules of the Central Plains are all learned from books. If there is any inadequacy in the hospitality, I hope Mr. Huang and Miss Huang will forgive me!"

Huang Rong smiled when she saw how polite she was. "You are well-read. Although you look a bit like a Western woman, your words and actions are no different from those of a Central Plains girl. I was just joking. You don't have to take it to heart."

Shi Xinrou said: "I never consider myself a person from the Western Regions."

Her mother came from the Western Regions, but died early. Apart from being able to speak some Persian, she knew nothing about the other situations in the Western Regions, and she had no interest in them.

She glanced at Huang Sixi and Huang Rong, and asked, "How did you climb up to Guangmingding just now?"

Huang Rong pointed at the divine eagle in the hall and said, "Look, it was this eagle that carried us up here. We have been flying in the sky and didn't pay attention to the terrain at the foot of the mountain."

She and Huang Sixi were indeed only concerned with looking at the many buildings on Guangmingding, and they did not look closely to see if there was an ambush at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, the Divine Eagle was standing in the middle of the hall. Shi Xinrou's younger brother was very curious about the Divine Eagle. He looked around the Divine Eagle, but he saw that the Divine Eagle was taller than an ordinary person and looked extremely ferocious. He didn't dare to get too close to it. He just stared with his eyes wide open and admired the Divine Eagle.

Shi Xinrou had never seen such a majestic eagle-bird and found it quite interesting, but she was more anxious about her own situation.

She waved her hand towards her brother and said, "Jian'er, don't disturb Brother Diao's rest anymore. Go get our token!"

"Ai!"

Her brother then ran into the side door of the hall.

After a while, her brother came back with a few gray-black rulers.

Huang Sixi's eyes swept across the ruler and lit up: "Is this the Ming Cult Holy Fire Order?"

Shi Xinrou secretly praised Huang Sixi for his broad knowledge. She actually had a hunch that Huang Sixi's sudden visit to Guangmingding was probably for some kind of legacy from the Ming Cult in the Central Plains.

But Shi Xinrou did not ask Huang Sixi's reason for visiting Guangmingding, because she was helpless and urgently needed Huang Sixi's support. No matter why Huang Sixi came, as long as Huang Sixi could repel the "Old Man in the Mountain", she was willing to help Huang Sixi!
She smiled and introduced: "Mr. Huang's guess is correct. These six tokens are the Holy Fire Tokens of the Ming Cult of the Central Plains. They have always been the tokens of the leader of the Ming Cult of the Central Plains. No matter who holds the Holy Fire Token, it is as if the leader is in person. The disciples of our sect must obey his orders!"

"So precious!"

Huang Rong reached out and grasped a token, wondering, "Since it is the leader's token, it should be kept carefully. Miss Shi is so happy to show it off, aren't you afraid of losing it?"

She felt that Shi Xinrou's behavior was too generous and somewhat beyond common sense.

Shi Xinrou had her reasons for taking the order: "There were originally twelve Holy Fire Tokens. When the Persian Ming Cult came to the Central Plains to preach, they only brought these twelve tokens in addition to the doctrine books! Because the Holy Fire Token is made of special materials, it is indestructible and can be used as a magic weapon. Now it has become the treasure of the Central Plains Ming Cult!"

She also picked up a Holy Fire Token and pulled out a dagger from her boots. She then used the Holy Fire Token to lightly hit the dagger. With a "ding!" sound, the dagger broke.

After verifying the power of the Holy Fire Order, Shi Xinrou continued, "When my father went to Khwarezm to fight, he took six Holy Fire Orders with him. After he died in battle, the six Holy Fire Orders fell into the hands of the Persian Ming Cult. Not long ago, they used the Holy Fire Orders to easily defeat the remaining disciples of Guangmingding. No weapon can withstand the heavy blow of the Holy Fire Orders!"

The situation was chaotic at that time. Dozens of her fellow disciples fought fiercely with the Persian Mingjiao members. Their weapons were broken by the Holy Fire Token. When she wanted to return to the secret room to take out the remaining Holy Fire Token to fight the enemy, dozens of her fellow disciples had already retreated and fled from Guangmingding.

Now Huang Sixi and Huang Rong want to stop the Persian Ming Cult and the 'Old Man in the Mountain'. They absolutely cannot do without suitable weapons, so Shi Xinrou took out the Holy Fire Order first to avoid repeating the mistakes of those dozens of fellow disciples.

Huang Rong understood what Shi Xinrou meant after hearing this: "Are you planning to let Fourth Brother use the Holy Fire Order to restrain the Holy Fire Order of the Persian Ming Cult?"

Shi Xinrou said: "That's exactly what I meant!"

After the two women finished speaking, they looked at Huang Sixi at the same time.

But Huang Sixi was holding a token and looking at it intently.

This token is two feet long, made of a very special material, neither gold nor jade, but extremely hard. Although it is black in color, it is transparent throughout. There is a faint flame hidden inside the token, which seems to be flying and flowing, reflecting a strange light, causing the token to change color. Huang Sixi knew that the Holy Fire Token could block the Dragon Slaying Sword, so he pulled out a black iron dagger and shook it towards Shi Xinrou: "I want to verify the power of the Holy Fire Token, what do you think?"

Shi Xinrou smiled softly: "Mr. Huang, please confirm it as you like."

She has great confidence in her own Holy Fire Token, and no matter how powerful the magic weapon in the world is, it cannot harm the Holy Fire Token in the slightest.

There was a strange sound of "click!"

Huang Sixi had already smashed the order on the black iron dagger.

Shi Xinrou took a closer look and found that the black iron dagger was not broken, but only had a small crack at the center of the dagger. She praised: "Mr. Huang, your dagger is not an ordinary weapon!"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "My dagger is made of black iron, but it was broken by the Holy Fire Order. It seems that the quality is still not good enough!"

He was curious, what would be the effect if he used the Dragon Subduing Sword to cut the Holy Fire Order?

He was not in a hurry to verify it because he had not yet thoroughly studied the mysteries of the Holy Fire Token.

Looking at the token again, there were lines of Chinese characters engraved on it. Huang Sixi read through it and asked Shi Xinrou, "Are all the rules and regulations of your Ming Cult engraved on this token?"

Shi Xinrou confirmed: "They are all religious rules, divided into three major rules and five minor rules!"

Huang Sixi asked again: "Are there also religious rules on the other six tokens?"

Shi Xinrou denied it, saying, "These twelve Holy Fire Tokens were all cast by the first generation 'Old Man in the Mountain' Huoshan. When they were sent to the Ming Cult in the Central Plains, six of them were blank and had the rules of the cult inscribed on them by the former leader of the Central Plains!
The other six Holy Fire Tokens originally had text on them, but the text was all in Persian, which the Central Plains believers could not understand, so they gradually stopped paying attention to them. When my father went to war, he took the six Persian tokens with him, and gave the six church rules tokens to me for safekeeping, asking me to use them to govern the remaining disciples in the church!"

Huang Sixi looked up at her and said, "Don't you understand Persian?"

Shi Xinrou's fair face flushed red: "I only know how to speak Persian, I don't know how to write Persian!"

Her mother was not a Persian noble, and she herself was not very literate. No one taught her, so she naturally couldn't write.

Huang Sixi knew very well that the six Holy Fire Tokens written in Persian contained the secrets of martial arts, and they were the essence of the lifelong martial arts of Huo Shan, the first generation of the 'Old Man in the Mountain'.

However, the martial arts of the Holy Fire Token are characterized by strangeness and viciousness, suitable for sneak attacks and assassinations. The level of martial arts is not high and is definitely inferior to "The Great Shift of the Universe".

"The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" is the pinnacle of Persian martial arts, and its level is on par with "Nine Yang Divine Art".

As long as Huang Sixi can master the "Great Shift of the Universe", it doesn't matter whether he learns the Holy Fire Token martial arts or not.

As he was thinking this, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he saw light words that only he could see began to appear on the Holy Fire Token in his hand.

Since there were only a few words on a single Holy Fire Order, Huang Sixi read the six orders together:
"The relics of the famous masters: a collection of the lifelong martial arts knowledge of Huo Shan, the 'old man in the mountain'..."

This was the first time that Huang Sixi encountered a discontinuous situation. Only half of the mission for the relics of the famous masters on the Holy Fire Order was displayed, and the remaining half must be on the other six Holy Fire Orders.

But this did not affect Huang Sixi's cheerful mood at all.

He thought to himself: "Huo Shan is the first generation of the old man in the mountain, and he is also the top master of the Persian martial arts. His martial arts attainments must be very high. He once dominated the power of the Persian Mingjiao. He should have mastered the "Great Shift of the Universe". When I inherit Huo Shan's lifelong martial arts, I can probably learn the "Great Shift of the Universe" by instilling it into my body!"

In this way, he no longer needs to look for the original volume of "The Great Shift of the Universe".

However, before inheriting Huoshan's martial arts, he must ensure that the Holy Fire Order is not damaged. When he fights with the 'Old Man in the Mountain', he cannot use the Dragon Sword to fight.

He had to accept Shi Xinrou's advice and use the Holy Fire Order to fight against the Holy Fire Order.

According to Shi Xinrou, in three days the 'old man in the mountain' will lead the followers of the Persian Mingjiao to climb Guangmingding again.

Originally, these people could have directly kidnapped Shi Xinrou, but in order to successfully take over the power of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains, they chose to use intimidation and coercion. They first stationed outside Guangmingding to create pressure on Shi Xinrou, and then let Shi Xinrou voluntarily commit herself, which would make it easier for them to preach to the Central Plains at that time.

Wait until the three-day period is over.

Early in the morning, the 'Old Man in the Mountain' and the Persian Mingjiao followers arrived as scheduled. They seemed impatient. As soon as they stepped into the door of the Holy Fire Hall, they shouted loudly: "The Holy Maiden of the Middle-earth Branch, the Deputy Chief of the Grand Church, and the three envoys Fengyunyue have arrived with the Holy Fire Order. Why don't you kneel down and greet them quickly!"

Shi Xinrou was originally gentle, but now she spoke firmly: "Although the teachings of the Mingjiao in the Middle Earth were passed down from Persia, after hundreds of years, the Mingjiao in the Middle Earth has long been a separate sect and no longer has any subordinate relationship with the Persian Grand Church! You are guests from afar, and I will treat you as a host. If you want to turn the tables, I will not let you do so even if I die!"

Huang Rong felt powerful as she listened to her powerful words, and thought that this mixed-race girl actually had a strong side.

When the Persian Ming Cult members saw Shi Xinrou's reaction, they all frowned, and then looked at Huang Sixi and Huang Rong beside Shi Xinrou, and the giant eagle accompanying them, they were even more shocked.

These days they have been lurking under Bright Summit and assassinated all the Ming Cult disciples from the Central Plains who tried to climb up to Bright Summit. At this moment, there should be no outsiders in the Holy Fire Hall except Shi Xinrou and her brother.

They all wondered where these two people came from. Did they descend from the sky on giant eagles?

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

A middle-aged man with a turban and a full beard walked out from the crowd of Persian Mingjiao.

He has a hooked nose and gloomy eyes, giving people an aggressive and oppressive feeling.

He had his hands behind his back, but suddenly he stretched out his right arm and pointed at Huang Sixi: "What position do you hold in the Ming Cult in the Middle Earth? Now that we are in the Holy Fire Hall, let's follow the old rules and have a fight. The winner stays and the loser leaves!"

"Hi?"

Huang Rong pursed her lips and muttered, "I've never seen such a foolish person. He's actually anxious to get beaten?"

She leaned over to Huang Sixi's side and encouraged him: "Fourth brother, go and teach him a lesson. Brother Diao and I will help you!"

Seeing that the other side had more people and more power, she tightly gripped the dog-beating stick and began to guard against the other side's siege.
