Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

boom!

The Wanhuo Sect's protective formation shattered in an instant.

It wasn't that the attack was too powerful, but rather that Xia Mangqing's mastery of formations was too high. While destroying that palm of ten thousand fires, he also used the power of lightning punishment to directly strike the weakness of this formation.

puff!puff!

The old man in the fiery robe and the alluring woman were covered in blood, most of their bodies charred black, and they were seriously injured.

Those sect leaders at the Realm of Severing Myself were also in bad shape, their bodies tattered and covered in charred spots, though not as severely.

As for the one at the very front, who was at the Escape One Realm, blood was also spilling from the corner of his mouth, and one of his arms was cracked and charred, clearly carbonized.

Fortunately, they stood at the forefront; otherwise, the casualties within the Wanhuo Sect would have been extremely heavy, with a large number of lives lost and many precious lands and sacred sites destroyed.

"Our sect's protective formation is rarely seen even among those below the Supreme level, ranking among the pinnacle. This person broke it in a moment; his mastery of formations is truly extraordinary!"

This Dunyi was filled with fear. If any being could become a supreme being through array formations, it would probably be someone like Xia Mangqing, whose attainments were too profound, making him a grandmaster-level existence.

However, he was certain that this person had not yet become a supreme being; otherwise, the Myriad Fires Sect would probably have been destroyed and would not have survived.

"Fellow Daoist, my Myriad Flames Sect has submitted. Please withdraw your supernatural powers, and let us negotiate."

Upon realizing this, he quickly spoke up.

If the fight continues, even if the Myriad Fires Sect manages to turn the tables on Xia Mangqing, it will inevitably pay a heavy price and is destined to decline.

Not to mention, even if he used the Wanhuo Sect's strongest trump card, he wasn't confident he could kill Xia Mangqing. The opponent's array formation skills were too high; he could form an array in the void. Even the strongest trump card might not be able to stop him. And if he escaped, there would be endless troubles.

Rather than that, it's better to admit defeat.

"Negotiation? You murdered my disciple, how do you expect to negotiate?"

Xia Mangqing's eyes flickered. He sensed a terrifying aura resurfacing deep within the Ten Thousand Fires Sect. It was not a living being, but it carried an astonishing pressure. Even he felt threatened.

The old man at the Escape One Realm felt a little relieved, realizing that Xia Mangqing was also wary of their Ten Thousand Fires Sect's strongest trump card; otherwise, there would have been no room for easing up, and he would have displayed his strongest killing intent.

"I am willing to offer you rare and precious treasures."

The old man at the Escape One Realm said that natural treasures are all external things. As long as the lineage is not damaged and the foundation remains, they will be able to earn it back sooner or later.

"Rare and precious materials? Not enough. I also need my disciple to comprehend the 'Myriad Fires Heavenly Technique'."

Xia Mangqing said decisively.

The "Ten Thousand Fires Heavenly Skill" of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect is an ancient heavenly skill. Legend has it that it was created by a supreme expert under the Great Crimson Heavenly Lord. Later, by chance, it was obtained by the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, and he eventually used it to establish the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, which had been powerful and dominant in the Yantian Continent for hundreds of thousands of years.

"How about... perhaps we could change the terms?"

The elder in the Escape One Realm hesitated and said, "The Myriad Fire Heavenly Technique is the foundation of the Myriad Fire Sect. If it is learned by outsiders, not to mention the issue of face, if it is widely circulated, they will suffer great losses."

"Then let's fight."

Xia Mangqing's gaze was like lightning, and the void began to distort.

If he weren't wary of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect's trump card, would he have given them a chance to negotiate?

But it's impossible to get him to compromise. At worst, he'll fight. If he really can't win, he'll retreat back to the wilderness in an instant.

However, doing so would cause considerable trouble for the Golden Crow's primordial spirit.

"...Okay! We agree!"

The elder at the Escape One Realm remained silent for only a brief moment before speaking again. He could tell that Xia Mangqing was not joking, but truly dared to start a war.

He didn't know where Xia Mangqing's confidence came from, but he knew that if Xia Mangqing couldn't be killed, the Ten Thousand Fires Sect would be in grave danger.

"A wise choice."

Xia Mangqing said calmly, and with a flick of his sleeve, he threw out a piece of bone. It contained the rare and precious materials he wanted, all of which were rare items and divine medicines useful for the cultivation of the Golden Crow Primordial Spirit.

Cultivating the "Thousand Body Sacred Scripture" consumes too many resources, so robbery is also a good method. He hadn't planned to do this before, but since the Myriad Fire Sect had come knocking on his door this time, he wouldn't be polite.

The old man at the Escape One Realm looked at the densely packed ancient characters with a relatively calm expression. He could barely accept these rare and precious materials, but what he found more difficult to accept was that under these circumstances, he still had to give the other party the "Ten Thousand Fires Heavenly Technique" to comprehend.

"I'll be ready in a bit."

The old man at the Escape One Realm sighed helplessly. The Myriad Fire Sect was ultimately no match for those ancient lineages, otherwise, how could it have come to this?

"Fine, let's remember this lesson."

He sighed inwardly, wondering who would have thought that his own holy son's casual killing of someone would cause such a commotion.

"Fellow Daoist, I wonder if my sect's Holy Son and First Generation could spare their lives?" the elder at the Escape One Realm spoke again.

He could sense that Wan Huo Shengzi and Yan Cang were still alive. Perhaps they had used some trump cards to save their lives, or perhaps it was the other party's disciple who did it on purpose, wanting to extort money from them again.

But no matter what, such a huge price has already been paid, so paying a little more to save the lives of two geniuses is not unacceptable.

"What else can you offer?"

Xia Mangqing countered that the Golden Crow Primordial Spirit hadn't killed the two Wan Huo Saints yet, waiting for a result from his side, but of course he wouldn't mind getting some extra treasures if there was a chance.

The old man at the Escape One Realm remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"Would you like a sunstone?"

Xia Mangqing's eyes flickered slightly: "Sunstone? I didn't expect you to have such a divine material."

The Sunstone is a fallen sun, condensed into a crystal core the size of a fist. It contains unimaginable energy and is an extremely precious divine material that can be used to cultivate the "Thousand Body Sacred Scripture".

Although one piece is far from enough, Xia Mangqing did not intend to cultivate with a single rare material, so it can serve as a supplement.

The old man at the Escape Realm smiled bitterly, "What good is possessing it? I still have to give it up now."

Immediately afterwards, he heard Xia Mangqing say:

"Very well, I'll spare their lives, but only this once. If they fall into my disciple's hands again, they will surely die."

Thank you.

The old man, who had reached the Escape One Realm, said through gritted teeth.

They were the ones who suffered the most losses, yet they still had to thank Xia Mangqing, which was really annoying.

However, circumstances were beyond his control, and he dared not gamble. Compared to these external things, the preservation of the Daoist tradition was more important.

……

The Yuanhuo Desert is located near the Pure Yang Fire.

Xia Mangqing's Golden Crow Primordial Spirit now unleashed a treasure seal, a divine-level magic weapon, to rival the pagoda unleashed by the Myriad Fire Saint Son.

"The great power within the church has not yet arrived; what exactly has happened?"

Yan Cang was filled with fear and unease. He had sent messages for so long, and the powerful figures in the sect should have arrived long ago, but now there was no news at all.

"Could it be that a powerful figure behind him has intervened?"

The Holy Son of Ten Thousand Fires looked extremely grim. If that were the case, it wouldn't just be a contest between a few Venerables.

Just then, Xia Mangqing's Golden Crow Primordial Spirit's eyes flickered, and he took a step forward. A trapping array densely covered the void, and a cold voice entered the ears of Wanhuo Saint Son and Yan Cang:

"The powerful figure of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect has already compromised, exchanging rare and precious materials for your lives. But since you dared to ambush and kill me, I must teach you a lesson."

Wanhuo Saint and Yan Cang were overjoyed. Although it sounded like the Wanhuo Sect had suffered a loss in the battle, their survival was already a pleasant surprise.

"Hand over all your treasures and valuables; do not resist!"

Xia Mangqing's voice came again. Wan Huo Shengzi and Yan Cang were silent for a moment, but they still gritted their teeth and handed over all the treasures and materials on their bodies. However, Xia Mangqing also saw that Wan Huo Shengzi showed a moment of relief on his face.

These ancient oddballs must have had many treasures, but they may not have carried them all with them. It's easy to see that he was relieved that his most valuable possessions had not been taken away.

Xia Mangqing didn't care. With a flick of his sleeve, he took away the many treasures. But just as Wan Huo Shengzi and Yan Cang breathed a sigh of relief, a light flashed between Xia Mangqing's brows. He used his mental power to invade Wan Huo Shengzi and Yan Cang's sea of ​​consciousness in an instant!
