Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

"It still has to be our Fist Peak."

One of the disciples of Quanfeng sighed with pride.

They had long disliked Kong Jian for openly attacking Chu Xinghe. Now that the Fist Peak Master had attacked without hesitation, it was truly satisfying.

"Look, our Peak Master Xingfeng has gone in too."

A disciple of Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise, his face revealing a smug sense of superiority.

"I've long heard that Peak Master Xingfeng and Peak Master Quanfeng are known for their short tempers in our Haoran Immortal Sect, and are called the Two Temperamental Elders. Now that I've met them... their reputation is well-deserved."

"It's really great, but why do I feel like the sky is falling?"

"I think so too, it's too dangerous."

"Don't worry, they should know what's going on and won't really fight to the death. The Mahayana Realm is too strong; if they fight to the death, it will be absolutely devastating, and the entire Dao Peak will be sunk."

"That's true. Although Kong Jian lowered himself to attack Junior Brother Xinghe, he is still a top-tier expert. Even the sect leader can't kill him; at most, he can only beat him up to vent his anger."

"That's right. A strongman like him can be killed by anyone who doesn't want to die. And if he uses our lives as a threat, our peak master will definitely have to stop."

"I reckon Kong Jian figured this out, which is why he killed Junior Brother Xinghe right in front of us. He was gambling... that even if he killed Junior Brother Xinghe, the Haoran Immortal Sect wouldn't risk the lives of all its disciples to start a war with the Taixu Sword Sect."

"So, let's just watch the show."

As they expected, after several days of fighting, Kong Jian, the peak master of Quan Feng, and the peak master of Xing Feng withdrew from the space.

"Old dog Kongjian, you really have no shame. First, you lowered yourself to attack the juniors of our sect, and now you're threatening our disciples' lives to force us to stop. Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the Taixu Sword Sect?"

Peak Master Ouyang Feng sneered, causing an uproar throughout the hall. They hadn't expected Kong Jian to actually use their lives to threaten the sect's higher-ups; he truly disregarded all shame.

After this battle, Kongjian and Taixu Sword Sect will likely become a laughing stock in the Northern Wilderness.

Kong Jian's face was ashen, leaving no room for argument.

The higher-ups of the Taixu Sword Sect also felt humiliated and none of them dared to offer any excuses. Taiyi and Dugu Wentian were even more so.

The original intention of this trip was to dampen the morale of the Haoran Immortal Sect, but unexpectedly, it backfired and instead boosted the morale of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

Not only that, even the Holy Maiden Nangong Chi is at risk of her Dao Heart shattering. Even more critically, the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation is about to fall into Chang Wen's hands!

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Taixu Sword Sect.

Although we don't know how Chang Wen managed to do it, the fact has already happened, so we can only discuss the matter objectively.

"Sect Master, we obtained that strange fire with tremendous effort. It is a rare and precious thing, and we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes."

As the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation drew ever closer to Chang Wen, they could no longer remain calm.

The Sacred Flame of Reincarnation is a sacred artifact comparable to an Emperor-level weapon, and it is also the most prized treasure of the Taixu Sword Sect. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of it being lost, they will do everything in their power to prevent it.

"Lin Baoding and the others are already on high alert against me, so it's impossible for me to make a move now."

Kong Jian looked towards the barrier space, observed the situation, and then spoke in a deep voice, "However, you don't need to worry. The Strange Fire is a sacred object of heaven and earth, with extremely strong and yang energy. Not just anyone can absorb it into their body. In addition, Chi'er has already refined half of it. As long as she controls it with all her might, she will definitely not let it fall into the hands of that junior."

After these words, the Taixu Sword Sect members felt somewhat relieved and continued to observe the situation on the field.

During the days that Kong Jian fought with Ouyang Feng and the peak master of Quan Feng, the energy of the sea of ​​fire within the barrier was reduced by more than half again.

The figures of Chang Wen and the other two became increasingly clear.

He sat cross-legged in front of Chu Xinghe, closing his eyes and circulating his internal energy. Above his head was a massive vortex hundreds of feet high.

What drew the most attention, however, was the Seed of the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation... which was slowly breaking free from Nangong Chi's control and resolutely moving toward Chang Wen.

This surprised everyone. Did Chang Wen intend to absorb the Holy Flame Seed as well? Wasn't he afraid of being burned to death?

That's completely illogical.

However, this hasn't happened yet; it's just speculation and not actually true. After a moment's thought, they looked at the remaining two.

First, there was Nangongchi, who was in a standoff with Chang Wen.

She also sat cross-legged in the void, five hundred feet away from Chang Wen. A red light, the size of a fist, emanated from her chest.

The red light source is connected to the Holy Flame Seed, with an energy bar that appears and disappears between them.

She seemed to be trying her best to control the Holy Flame Seed back into her body, but Chang Wen's suction was too strong, completely ignoring her pull and dragging the Holy Flame Seed towards himself.

A tug-of-war is underway between the two sides, with Chang Wen currently holding a clear advantage. If Nangong Chi doesn't take action, the outcome is predictable.

"As expected of the senior brother, he is truly extraordinary."

Chu Xinghe disregarded his image and crouched behind Chang Wen, avoiding the terrifying heat emanating from the Holy Flame Seed, feeling apologetic.

Some people may wonder, where does the apology come from?

Of course, it was he who caused Chang Wen to expose his identity.

If it weren't for him, Chang Wen could have kept a low profile and never had to appear in the public eye.

As a reborn being, he understood all too well the powerful's obsession with hiding their true nature—it was ingrained in their very bones. Now that Chang Wen's identity had been exposed because of him, his future actions would inevitably be restricted.

He felt very guilty whenever he thought about it.

"We need to find a way to make it up to our senior brother."

"As a peerless expert, my senior brother surely possesses everything I have. He certainly wouldn't even consider ordinary items, so what can I give him?"

After pondering for a long time without success, he decided to think about it later and then focused on watching Chang Wen's exercise.

"I must say, my senior brother is quite skilled. In my estimation, he is at least at the Mahayana level, even more so than I was before my rebirth."

Chu Xinghe's eyes were full of admiration, and he became a little fanboy.

Although Chang Wen is currently displaying strength at the Nascent Soul stage, he still firmly believes that Chang Wen is hiding his true strength.

How can you be so confident?

Of course, it's because I trust my own judgment.

When Chang Wen rushed over to save him, the flames here were enough to severely injure even a peak-level cultivator.

Chang Wen not only blocked the fire wave but also absorbed it all, so his cultivation level must be more than the Nascent Soul Realm. He must have been hiding his strength.

Can also understand.

After all, with great power comes great responsibility. Chang Wen probably wants to live a secluded life on Haoran Peak, avoiding worldly strife.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chang Wen and couldn't help but sigh, "My senior brother is really good at acting. He can even act out the improvement of his cultivation level so realistically. I really admire him."

When Chang Wen first entered, his aura was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage. After absorbing the fire wave, he has now reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"That makes sense, that makes perfect sense. No wonder he's the senior brother, even his cunning is so meticulous."

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe admired Chang Wen even more.
