Chapter 397 Who Dared to Use Force in the Royal City?

Before Xu Han and the others could figure out what Master Wei meant, another ray of light suddenly lit up in the sky.

Then, the dot of light continued to enlarge in the eyes of the crowd. Something was rushing over at an astonishing speed from an unknown place thousands of kilometers away.

The dot of light gradually enlarged, as if it was a flame.

In the blink of an eye, as the flames approached, the crowd discovered that it was clearly a figure wrapped in flames.

This was the Immortal Dharma Form of the Scarlet Firmament Sect's headmaster!

When the crowd realized this, the Dharma Form landed in front of them at an incomprehensible speed.

The silhouette wrapped in the flames was hard to see, but it could not help but give birth to a dignified expression of treasure, wanting to worship him with all his might. The might of an immortal could be seen from this.

The Dharma Form did not stop for a moment on Xu Han and the others' bodies. Instead, it looked straight at Master Wei, who was standing in front of the crowd.

"Looks like I underestimated you." As the Dharma Master said this, a faint smile appeared on his face that was wrapped in flames.

Hearing this, Master Wei chuckled. There was not the slightest bit of peculiarity on his face, "Lord Sect Leader, why do you still need to make it clear? We are still in a hurry and cannot afford to delay."

"Nothing else." At that time, the Dharma Master took out an item from his bosom and weighed it slightly in his hand. It was the Fire Cloud Token that he had used to fight for Yan Zhan and Xue Ning earlier. "This sovereign will go back and think about it. Since this Fire Cloud Token is in your hands, then your ancestor must have some connection with our Crimson Firmament Sect. It is better to return this token to you."

These words were naturally good words, but neither the tone of the Sect Leader's words nor the movements in his hands had the slightest intention of returning them. Instead, his eyes shone brightly as he looked at Master Wei with a fierce glint.

However, Master Wei did not seem to have any feelings for all of this. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

With that, the old man trembled as he walked forward, reaching out his hand to receive the item from the Headmaster's Dharma Master.

The Dharma Form's eyes instantly turned cold, and a faint killing intent began to seep out of his body.

"What? Didn't you say you wanted to give it to me?" However, Master Wei still didn't seem to have felt such a change. He looked at the Dharma Form with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Are you pretending to be foolish with me?" The Dharma Master lowered his voice and said in a gloomy tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the flames surrounding his body instantly grew brighter, and a violent aura surged out, enveloping Master Wei's body.

"Foolish? Didn't you say that you wanted to return this Fire Cloud Token to this old man?" Master Wei asked with narrowed eyes.

"Humph!" The Dharma Master snorted. His tone wasn't loud, but it contained the might of thunder, shocking people. Xu Han and the others were still able to maintain their normal state, while the faces of the weaker cultivators like Zhen Yue were all pale.

However, everything did not end like this. As the cold snort fell, the poisonous snake behind Fa Xiang, who had been burning with white flames, suddenly stretched out its head and spat out the messenger before the old man. It stopped only half an inch from his neck, and its eyes were scarlet as it stared at the old man.

"Speak! Where is the Golden Crow True Fire in the Fire Cloud Token!?" At this moment, the voice of the Immortal Adept suddenly rang out.

The so-called "Tubo Dagger Meet" had obviously lost his interest in going down with Master Wei .

At that moment, the might of an immortal was revealed on his body. Countless poisonous snakes with flames all over their bodies surged out from behind him and roared at each other.

The fine snow under the dome could not touch his body at all. Within a few kilometers, a hundred feet away from the ground, the fine snow melted one after another, turning into white smoke and rising again. The hazy water vapor enveloped the entire world, but beneath the water vapor was scorched earth, not a single blade of grass growing on the ground.

Even so, Master Wei's face still didn't show any signs of panic. He stroked his beard, which wasn't thick on his chin, and looked at the Immortal Dharma Form. "Why didn't I remember this rule in your Crimson Firmament Sect's ancestral teachings? How could the Golden Crow True Fire still have a reason to return?"

Naturally, there was a lot of information about these words, but the Immortal had abandoned most of them. Only one thing that he heard was that the old man in front of him knew where the Golden Crow True Fire was.

"Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The Fa Xiang said coldly. At that moment, the poisonous bathed-fire snake sitting in front of the old man let out a hoarse cry and charged straight towards the old man's face.

The poisonous snake looked only half an inch thick, but the power it contained was clearly not something an ordinary person could resist.

Its speed was extremely fast. It was like a bolt of lightning that lit up its sharp fangs. It was about to tear the old man's blood vessels apart.

However, Master Wei slowly stretched out his hand at that time. His index finger and ring finger stood up, the other three fingers were close together, and between those two fingers was an unknown copper coin.

The poisonous fangs that the poisonous snake had bitten had actually collided with the copper coin impartially.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, the poisonous snake's body stopped as if it had been cast a body fixation spell.

In the next moment, a wisp of pitch-black color appeared above the viper's head, and then it spread out. Very quickly, it was soaked in the viper's body. The flames around its body extinguished, and its body shattered at that time. It was like a withered branch that had been burned by the flames, turning into ashes and scattering all over the ground.

"The sect that Wu Xiaohe passed down, I don't want to bully the strong and take advantage of the weak, do I?" Master Wei's voice rang out at that moment. His narrowed eyes were filled with anger.

This was something that Xu Han had never seen before in the old man's eyes.

The Immortal's expression changed. Of course, it wasn't because of the old man's reprimand, but because of the powerful divine ability that the old man had displayed just now.

Xie Min Yu had been in charge of the Crimson Firmament Sect for more than two hundred years. His outsider, who had lived for nearly three hundred years, naturally looked like an immortal with a cultivation that could reach the heavens. However, he knew that this third heavenly tribulation was imminent, and he wasn't too confident that he could survive this tribulation.

The appearance of the old man, or the appearance of the Fire Cloud Token in the old man's hand, gave him a sliver of hope.

It was rumored that the Fire Cloud Token contained his ancestor, Wu Xiaohe's Innate True Fire, the so-called Golden Crow True Fire. If he could refine such a miraculous object, then his chances of winning against the third Heavenly Tribulation would be at least 50% higher.

The longer he lived, the more he cherished his life. Xie Min Yu didn't want to let go of this opportunity, so after returning to the sect, he was impatient to refine the things in the token. However, he was surprised to discover that the Golden Crow True Fire in the token had long disappeared.

This feeling of hope and hopelessness was certainly not good.

As a result, he had forgotten all about the ancestral teachings and sect rules. He led these disciples to Master Wei and the others and wanted to obtain the Golden Crow True Fire in order to survive the third Heavenly Tribulation.

Fortunately, he had enough time to intercept Master Wei and the others before they entered the Royal City. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to make a move even if he was given more courage by Xie Min Yu when he entered the jurisdiction of the Dragon Hidden Temple under the feet of the Son of Heaven.

And now, even if he felt that this old man was extraordinary, he still didn't intend to let him go.

Because he didn't have much time to waste anymore.

Thinking of this, the killing intent in Xie Min Yu's eyes became even more intense. He let out a muffled snort and the Dharma Form instantly began to expand like an inflated airbag. In an instant, it turned into a size of 30 feet.

Then, his hand suddenly stretched out, and his huge palm directly attacked Master Wei. The venomous snakes behind him that were burning with Spiritual Flames wrapped around his arm, and they similarly charged towards Master Wei with a hissing sound of his palm.

This seemingly ordinary palm strike rushed towards the crowd like a mountain. At that time, Xu Han and the others had no choice but to circulate their True Essence to defend themselves. Only then would they be safe and sound.

However, Master Wei did not move in the face of this mighty blow.

"Sigh, it looks like I have to teach you a lesson."

He let out a sigh in a voice that only he could hear clearly, and then a divine light shone in his eyes.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly rippled like a tidal wave, and then an earthen wall rose on the flat ground, blocking between him and the whistling palm of his hand.

The scorching flames touched the earth wall. The earth wall was instantly charred black, and in the blink of an eye, there were signs of collapse. However, this did not cause any fear to Master Wei. With a slight flick of his hand, a copper coin flew out through the cracked crack in the earth wall. After meeting the white flames, the copper coin instantly melted and turned into golden liquid.

The golden water was extremely vast, far exceeding the signs that a single copper coin could transform into. Then, the golden water covered the earth wall that was about to collapse as if it had intelligence. The earth wall was instantly covered by the golden water and turned into an unbreakable golden stone wall.

"True gold is not afraid of fire." The old man said leisurely.

Such a miraculous method made people gasp in admiration, and it also made Xie Min Yu's expression even colder.

He let out another cold harrumph, and the thirty-meter-tall Dharma Form grew larger by several points, turning into a distance of fifty meters.

At that moment, the venomous snakes wrapped around his hands also rang out and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the golden wall. Following that, the bodies of the venomous snakes split apart one after another, and they actually turned from venomous snakes into thumb-sized ant insects. Afterwards, those ants and insects were densely packed on the golden wall, and they actually began to gnaw on the wall.

Although he couldn't break it in one go, if he bit it down like this, there was a possibility that it would gradually devour him.

Seeing this, Xie Min Yu's expression softened slightly. He said, "The Thousand Miles Levee collapsed into an ant nest."

Master Wei frowned and his grey sackcloth suddenly stirred. At that time, two water dragons the thickness of an adult's arm gushed out from his sleeve and whistled towards the ants.

Under the watering of the water dragon, the insects on the golden wall immediately let out miserable squeaks. Their bodies trembled, and the flames extinguished and turned into ashes as they fell down from the golden wall.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary old man was actually so difficult to deal with. Xie Min Yu's expression immediately became serious.

"Vermillion Bird Five Flames Formation!" With a loud shout, the disciples below him who had already formed a battle formation heard this and moved. Everyone's clothes surged as Spiritual Flames poured out of their bodies into the enormous Dharma Form that Xie Min Yu had formed.

At the same time, the gigantic Dharma Form withdrew its palm that was pressed against the golden wall. He stood in front of the crowd with his head held high, one hand stretched out, and opened his palm in front of his chest. At that time, the venomous snakes behind him, bathed in flames, rushed towards his palms like royal decrees.

Very quickly, the poisonous snakes formed a ball of fire above his palm.

As the poisonous snake and the spiritual flames summoned by the disciples continued to surge in, the fireball grew larger and the temperature became higher and higher.

Even though they were dozens of feet apart, everyone could still feel the terrifying temperature wrapped within the fireball. Even the space around the fireball couldn't withstand the terrifying temperature, causing it to distort.

"There's a way to heaven. No wonder this sovereign is ruthless." It was also as if Xie Min Yu had sensed the terrifying power condensed by this attack. The gloomy expression on his face completely dissipated, and a thick and sinister smile appeared on his face.

However, Master Wei still stood there leisurely, as if he didn't care about the terrifying power contained in this strike.

To Xie Min Yu, who had already ascended to the Immortal Realm for hundreds of years, such a posture was undoubtedly a form of contempt.

He had already thought to himself that once he defeated the old man, he would definitely leave his life behind and put it into the pill furnace of the Crimson Firmament Sect for torture before forcing him to find out where the Golden Crow True Fire was.

Thinking of this, a cold light shone in Xie Min Yu's eyes.

At that moment, he reached out his hand and held it in the air, causing a burning wave of heat to spread out. The curtain cloth around the tea stall seemed to be unable to withstand this terrifying heat wave and began to burn. Xu Han and the others' expressions were even uglier. Obviously, under the might of this immortal, they could not even produce the slightest bit of resistance.

Immortals, especially those who had already experienced two heavenly tribulations and condensed their true bodies, were nothing more than ants in front of him, even experts like Ning Zhumang and Yan Zhan of the Great Evolution Realm.

After this grasp, the ball of fire was formed from the poisonous snakes in his body and the Spiritual Flames summoned by many disciples. At that moment, he suddenly began to twist his wings. A pair of wings stretched out from the ball of fire. Then, there was a tall divine bird's head, tail, and sharp claws.

Heng!

Along with a heaven-shaking cry, a Vermillion Bird that was several inches in size appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Of course, this was only the beginning.

As the cries echoed throughout the world, the figure of the Vermillion Bird grew larger and larger, becoming the size of the true body of the Dharma Form in the blink of an eye.

"Go!" Xie Min Yu shouted.

The divine bird let out another long cry as it flew towards Master Wei.

It was extremely fast, dragging the afterimages of the flames all over the sky. Wherever it passed, space distorted and the ground cracked.

Facing this enormous Vermillion Bird, a wisp of admiration finally appeared on Master Wei 's face.

He stretched out his hand again and held a copper coin in his hand.

The golden wall seemed to feel something. At that time, two vines stretched out from the bottom of the wall, propping up the body of the golden wall. Golden water flowed down from the golden wall, wrapping the two thick vines as if they had grown feet. The two water dragons landed on the left and right sides of the wall, dancing up and down like two arms.

At that moment, a vine appeared above the golden wall. However, it withered in an instant, and fierce flames rose up like the head of this strange creature.

At this moment, the copper coin in Master Wei 's hand was flicked by Master Wei 's finger and landed on the strange creature's chest.

Clang!

Along with a soft sound, it was like a heavy sound from the rotation of a gear.

The bronze coin shone brightly as countless golden lights surged into the creature's limbs and bones. The creature instantly revived.

In the meantime, he took a step forward with his golden feet. The two water dragons stretched out their arms and directly faced the Vermillion Bird that was slaughtering him.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the creature collided with the Vermillion Bird.

The two were locked in a stalemate, and for a time, it seemed that no one was able to take down anyone.

Xie Min Yu never imagined that this strange looking creature, which could even be called funny, would actually be able to instantly attack his Vermillion Bird Divine Bird. In fact, when he saw the expression on Master Wei's face, it didn't seem to have much of a change in expression, as if he was able to do it smoothly.

The confrontation between the two lasted for dozens of breaths. The Vermillion Bird gradually showed signs of exhaustion, while the strange creature slowly moved forward.

Master Wei smiled faintly. Just as the creature was about to take down the battle, his expression suddenly changed, and a burst of coldness suddenly came from his chest. As a result, the creature that he had driven stopped attacking and was suppressed by the Vermillion Bird Divine Bird.

This expert usually had to face off in an instant.

Xie Min Yu was keenly aware of Master Wei 's abnormality.

A cold light flashed in his eyes as he clenched his huge palm tightly. The faces of the disciples who had formed the Vermillion Bird Five Flames Formation turned pale, and golden objects gushed out of their bodies and rushed into the Vermillion Bird Divine Bird's body.

That was the life force within these disciples. Such a move would undoubtedly damage their foundations and reduce their lifespans. However, in order to obtain the Golden Crow True Fire, Xie Min Yu obviously did not care about the consequences.

As the life force surged in, the Vermillion Bird's aura surged, and the flames around it surged a little. Without Master Wei's power, the creatures could no longer withstand the Vermillion Bird's power. Their bodies trembled, and in the end, they shattered.

"Pu!"

At the same time, Master Wei, who was connected to the Heart God, also suffered a backlash. His face turned pale, and he spat out a blood arrow from his mouth, causing his body to retreat abruptly.

"Master Wei!" Seeing this, Xu Han and the others were immediately shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.

However, Xie Min Yu obviously wouldn't let go of this opportunity. The Vermillion Bird, which had won in one strike, continued to charge straight towards the place where everyone was.

Seeing that the terrifying flames were about to devour everyone, Master Wei looked at the Vermillion Bird with a pale face and said, "Take us away!"

As soon as this voice fell, a burst of white light surged from the huge wooden box behind him, enveloping everyone.

The white light was extremely dazzling, causing Lu Houde and the others to lose their sight. After a short period of time, when they recovered, Xu Han and the others had long disappeared.

"Headmaster?" They looked at the gigantic Dharma Form in astonishment and asked with a puzzled expression. "Do you want to chase after him?"

At that moment, a sinister expression appeared on the giant Dharma Form's face. He turned his head to look at the huge city behind him and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Who dares to use force in the Royal City?"
