The night was as dark as ink, pressing heavily upon Shenhuo Mountain Villa.
The howling wind swept over the eaves, emitting a wailing shriek; pale lightning tore through the sky, followed by a thunderclap that seemed to shatter the heavens, as if it were the prelude to a conspiracy and betrayal.
Jin Renfeng stood in the shadows of the corridor, the rain kept out by an invisible force. His face was expressionless, only his eyes were filled with an almost frenzied heat.
A boy dressed as a medicine boy, shivering, trotted over. It was Lu, who had been preparing and delivering medicine for Dongfang Guyue for a long time.
"Big...Senior Brother." Xiao Lu's voice was obsequious and trembled almost imperceptibly. Rain soaked his bangs, making him appear even more humble. "As you instructed, the medicine...has been given to the Master of the Manor."
Jin Renfeng's lips slowly curled into a cruel yet satisfied smile.
Xiao Lu is a typical opportunist. Seeing that Dongfang Guyue was terminally ill, he did not hesitate to side with Jin Renfeng, whom he believed was about to take control of Shenhuo Mountain Manor.
The so-called "medicine" was actually a highly poisonous substance that Jin Renfeng had carefully sought out. It could accelerate the depletion of a person's vital energy, causing them to become exhausted and deathly ill, but outwardly appearing as if they were seriously ill, making it difficult to detect.
Jin Renfeng's voice was low and cold. He looked up at the raging thunderstorm outside the window, his smile appearing incredibly ferocious and arrogant in the pale flashes of lightning.
"How arrogant! This thunder... is loud enough! Powerful enough! It'll drown out the screams that are about to come! Hahahaha!"
Unable to contain his elation, he burst into laughter, his laughter carrying a penetrating force amidst the rolling thunder, filled with the triumph and savagery of his impending victory.
Startled by the laughter, Xiao Lu shuddered and quickly forced an even more fawning smile, bowing as he stepped forward.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Congratulations, Senior Brother! The position of Manor Lord is within your grasp! I will rely entirely on your guidance from now on, Senior Brother. I only ask that you remember how loyal I am..."
He spoke at length about his loyalty, describing the bright future that Jin Renfeng would have after taking over Shenhuoshan Manor, and doing his utmost to flatter him.
Jin Renfeng's laughter stopped abruptly.
He slowly turned his head, looking down at the obsequious medicine boy before him, his eyes devoid of any warmth, filled only with utter contempt and cruelty.
"Promote me?" Jin Renfeng's voice was light and airy, yet it carried a deadly chill. "You're right, I am about to become the true 'God of Fire,' the only supreme being of Shenhuo Mountain Manor!"
He took a step forward, closing in on Xiao Lu.
"And the true god of fire..."
Jin Renfeng suddenly raised his right hand, and the pure crimson-gold Yang Flame in his palm instantly burst into flames, illuminating Xiao Lu's terrified and distorted face in a ghastly golden light:
"We will not tolerate any stain on this world, nor will we tolerate anyone who knows about these stains!"
"Do not--!!!"
Xiao Lu's scream was barely out of his mouth before it was completely engulfed by the raging flames.
The pure Yang Flame was so domineering that it left not even a trace of ash. That despicable opportunist, along with all his flattery and delusions, vanished in an instant, leaving only a burnt smell, which was quickly dispersed by the wind and rain.
Jin Renfeng withdrew his hand, his face expressionless, as if he had merely brushed away a speck of dust.
The flames in his eyes were hotter and more frenzied than the pure Yang Flame in his palm.
"Master...it's time to set off!"
He let out a low roar, and without the slightest hesitation, carrying the stench of blood and boundless ambition, he strode toward Dongfang Guyue's residence.
Pushing open the heavy door, a strong smell of medicine mixed with a hint of decay hit me.
On the bed, Dongfang Guyue was emaciated, her breath weak, her face as pale as paper, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
This is precisely a sign that the "medicine" is taking effect.
Jin Renfeng walked to the bedside and looked at his mentor, who had once been a powerful figure in the Dao Alliance and treated him like his own son. There was no pity in his eyes, only endless greed and the ecstatic joy of about to reach the top.
Jin Renfeng's voice carried a morbid excitement, standing out clearly amidst the rumbling thunder:
"You see, you are no longer up to the task. This vast Divine Volcano Manor, and this world-renowned Pure Yang Flame, must ultimately be handed over to your disciple to avoid disgrace!"
He leaned down, close to Dongfang Guyue's ear, his voice like a viper's hiss, filled with a ferocious pleasure:
"Go with peace of mind! Your disciple will make Shenhuo Mountain Manor flourish under my leadership and become the undisputed leader of the Dao Alliance! As for Junior Sister Huaizhu and Junior Sister Qinlan, hehe, your disciple will definitely take good care of them!"
"Since you're going to die anyway..."
Jin Renfeng's eyes flashed with a fierce light. His right hand was held together like a knife, with strange blood-red runes swirling around the fingertips. This was the blood-changing secret technique of the Leech Clan that he had tricked from Cui Yuyu.
"Why not give your disciple one last push? Give me all the essence and blood you possess that allows you to control the pure Yang Flame! Only within me can this power unleash its most dazzling brilliance!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Renfeng suddenly placed his hand on Dongfang Guyue's chest!
The body of "Dongfang Guyue" on the bed convulsed violently. Streams of crimson-gold essence blood containing powerful spiritual energy were forcibly stripped and extracted, and rushed into his body through Jin Renfeng's arm!
Meanwhile, Jin Renfeng's own mixed and filthy blood was brutally replaced, staining the bedding beneath him red.
The process was painful and bizarre, but Jin Renfeng was so excited that he trembled all over.
He felt the vast, pure Eastern spiritual blood, imbued with the true essence of fire, surging and merging within his body, and an unprecedented sense of power filled his limbs and bones!
"Hahaha! It's done! It's finally done!"
Jin Renfeng abruptly withdrew his hand, threw his head back, and laughed wildly, appearing as if he had gone mad.
"Pure Yang Flame! The true demon-slaying divine fire! From this day forward, I, Jin Renfeng, am the true God of Fire! Invincible under heaven!"
He opened his arms, trying to summon that newborn, long-awaited power.
However, at the height of his ecstasy, a sudden change occurred!
The imagined flames that would scorch the heavens and boil the seas did not appear.
An extremely unfamiliar and strange feeling instantly swept over Jin Renfeng's entire body.
The feeling was indescribable, as if the body's structure was twisting, the bones were deforming, and the soul was being stuffed into a completely incompatible container.
Feeling hot all over, yet also carrying a primal sense of stupidity?
"Uh... Hehe..."
Jin Renfeng's laughter got stuck in his throat, turning into a comical and eerie humming sound.
"Hmph—hmph—!"
A clear, distinct squeal, filled with confusion and instinct, burst forth from Jin Renfeng's throat without warning!
The sound was so abrupt and absurd that it instantly froze Jin Renfeng's maniacal laughter and smugness on his face, leaving only utter astonishment and bewilderment.
He stared wide-eyed in horror, completely bewildered by what had happened.
"It feels strange, doesn't it?"
A calm, unwavering voice echoed in the room like a ghost, carrying a hint of cold mockery.
Jin Renfeng was struck dumb and turned around abruptly!
The sight before him terrified him!
On the bed, where is the lonely moon in the east, its light fading and its life extinguished?
Lying there was clearly a fat, robust pig that was fast asleep and hadn't woken up!
The so-called "Eastern spiritual blood" that he had just replaced in his body now tasted fishy, sticky, and filled with a nauseating animalistic stench!
In the shadows of the room, several figures had quietly appeared.
The leader had a detached look in his eyes; it was none other than Qin Chuan, whom he feared greatly!
Standing beside Qin Chuan was Dongfang Guyue, whose face was ashen and whose eyes burned with raging anger and boundless pain!
There's also Dongfang Huaizhu, who's clenching her fists and looks like she wants to tear him to pieces, and Dongfang Qinlan, whose face is flushed red with anger and who's gritting her teeth!
"Master?! Junior Sister?! Qin Chuan?! You...how could you..."
Jin Renfeng screamed, his voice completely distorted by extreme shock and fear. He instinctively stepped back but tripped and fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
He finally realized that everything he had meticulously planned had fallen into Qin Chuan's trap from the very beginning!
He sold his male beauty, went to great lengths, and endured unbearable humiliation to obtain the secret leech technique, only to use it on a pig?! This is a thousand times more humiliating than killing him!
"You beast! You ungrateful beast!"
Dongfang Guyue trembled with rage, pointing at Jin Renfeng, tears streaming down her face, heartbroken and indignant.
"I...I was blind! I actually raised a venomous snake like you! Fellow Daoist Qin, I can no longer bear to look at this wretched creature! Please cleanse my household!"
He turned his head away, as if looking at Jin Renfeng even once would offend his eyes.
Jin Renfeng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
He knew all too well how terrifying Qin Chuan was; if he fell into Qin Chuan's hands, there would be no chance of survival!
"No! You can't kill me!"
Driven by an intense will to survive, Jin Renfeng unleashed a final frenzy, struggling and screaming, his voice shrill and piercing:
"Old Ghost Dongfang! The secret of the Dongfang family! The women of your Dongfang family can pass on their spiritual power to the next generation! This is a tremendous secret that could create a powerful family! I've known it for a long time!"
His eyes gleamed with the final, crazed glint of a gambler:
"Let me go! Otherwise, someone will expose this secret to the world! Then, it won't just be me, Jin Renfeng, coveting your Dongfang family! Countless people will pounce on you like sharks smelling blood! You'll never have peace! Hahaha! Let me go! Otherwise, we'll all..."
Qin Chuan's icy voice interrupted Jin Renfeng's hysterical threats.
What he hates most is being threatened.
Before he finished speaking, and without Qin Chuan making any move, an overwhelming and terrifying suction force suddenly descended!
"what--!"
Jin Renfeng only had time to let out a short scream before he was uncontrollably lifted off the ground and instantly grabbed firmly by an invisible hand, leaving him suspended in mid-air!
That giant hand was composed entirely of pure, ultra-pure crimson-gold flames—Pure Yang Flame!
This Pure Yang Flame is many times more refined and powerful than the one that Jin Renfeng possesses!
"No! Spare me! Senior Qin, spare me! I know I was wrong! I..."
Jin Renfeng completely broke down, tears streaming down his face, and frantically begged for mercy.
Qin Chuan's eyes remained unwavering, only displaying a cold indifference.
He slightly clenched his fingers.
The pure Yang Flame enveloping Jin Renfeng instantly turned from crimson gold to dazzling pure white!
That is the supreme flame, capable of incinerating everything and scorching even the soul!
"Ughh ...
A piercing, inhuman scream echoed throughout the room, even briefly drowning out the thunder outside the window!
