Yan Wuji’s voice was calm yet terrifying, “I’ve only seen this kind of cross-level combat power in ancient scriptures. This power is found in the descendants of ancient chaos divine beasts, or in some lost supreme inheritances of Daoist sects.”
He took several steps, each step leaving burnt footprints on the ground.
“The Heavenly Palace was destroyed, Yan Lie was killed, and Yan Wu returned with a severed arm. The Fire God lineage had not suffered such humiliation for hundreds of thousands of years.”
He stopped and turned around, his golden-red eyes sweeping across the kneeling crowd in the hall. “Who is willing to go to the Fallen God Desert and catch this kid?”
The hall was dead silent.
Nobody dared to speak. It wasn’t because they were afraid of a rank eight True God, but because they sensed something different in Yan Wuji’s tone.
The palace master did not ask for opinions; he called out names.
“Fire Breaker”.
Yan Wuji’s gaze fell on a middle-aged man.
The man knelt at the edge of the elders’ chairs. He was as tall and firm as an iron tower, with a square face and sharpness honed through countless battles.
He was the Grand Elder of the Fire God Palace, a peak level three Gold Immortal, and his cultivation was only second to Yan Wuji himself in the lineage of the Fire God of the Eighteen Heavens. He led the Fire Dragon Guards, the most elite guards of the Fire God Palace.
“Your subordinate is here.” Yan Po raised his head, his gaze steady.
“Bring the third squad of the Fire Dragon Army, along with the Fire Tiger and Fire Leopard Elders, and head to the Fallen God Desert to look for David.”
Yan Wuji’s voice left no room for rebuttal, “I want to see him dead or alive. If there’s a chance to capture him alive, bring him back. I want to personally extract his Chaos Power and see where it comes from.”
“Your subordinates obey.” Yan Po kowtowed and accepted the order.
Yan Hu and Yan Bao stepped out of the elders’ seats and knelt behind Yan Po.
Yan Hu was thin and sturdy, with a fierce and savage glint in his eyes. He was the law elder of the Yan Shen Palace, famous for his cruel methods.
On the other hand, Yan Bao seemed calmer. He had fair skin, no beard, and eyes full of gloom. He was the intelligence elder of the Fire God Palace and knew the terrain and distribution of spatial cracks throughout the Fallen God Desert like he knew the palm of his own hand.
These three were at the peak of the third rank of the Golden Immortal Realm, and together with the thirty elite disciples of the Fire Dragon Guard Team 3, each of them had a cultivation level of at least the first rank of the Golden Immortal Realm.
With such a line-up, it would be more than enough to face not only a Level Eight True Immortal Realm youth, but also a Level Four Golden Immortal Realm expert.
“Remember.”
Yan Wuji sat back on his throne, flames covering him again. “The Desert of the Fallen God is not an ordinary place. The space cracks there awaken ancient remnant souls, and the killing intent and grudges that still linger there influence the mind. Don’t cause unnecessary trouble. Find that person and bring them back. If you encounter members of the Daoist sect”
He paused for a moment, a cold glint flashing from his golden red eyes amidst the flames. “Kill without mercy.”
“Yes!”
The three men accepted the order and withdrew.
The main hall fell silent again, only the faint sound of the holy lamp being lit could be heard.
Yan Wuji sat amidst the flames, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the throne, producing a soft thud.
What he didn’t tell Yan Po was that he sensed a trace of aura on the fleeing envoy that was not of the Fire God’s bloodline.
The aura was very faint, like a spy who was deliberately hiding, and disappeared as soon as he stepped into the main hall of the Fire God Palace.
Someone was monitoring the Fire God Palace’s every move.
Moreover, that person’s cultivation level was not lower than him.
“Void Merchant Guild? Or a Daoist sect? Or perhaps people from the Hall of Light?”
Yan Wuji muttered to himself, his golden-red eyes flickering within the flames, “Whoever it is, if they want to snatch food from my mouth, they better think twice about their teeth.”
Meanwhile, in Tianlan City, the location of the Void Merchant Guild on Eighteenth Heaven.
Tianlan City hung tens of thousands of feet above the northernmost part of Eighteenth Heaven. The entire city is composed of dozens of floating islands connected by iron chains and teleportation arrays, forming a sky city that stretches for hundreds of miles.
On the floating island located right in the center and highest point of the city, stood a tower that was completely black in color.
The tower has nine floors, each inlaid with tens of thousands of spatial crystals that refract a rainbow spectrum of colors in sunlight.
The spatial crystal was not just a decoration, but also the foundation on which the Void Merchant Guild on Eighteenth Heaven stood. The crystals anchored all spatial nodes within a radius of tens of thousands of miles to the tower, and anyone’s spatial movements within this range could not escape the tower’s surveillance.
This was the Void Pavilion, the headquarters of the Void Merchant Guild on Eighteenth Heaven.
Wu Yuan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the ninth floor of the Void Pavilion, holding a cup of Enlightenment Tea brewed with ancient spiritual spring water. The fragrant aroma of the tea condensed into a blurry image in front of him.
The scene depicted dark red sand and scattered bones in the Fallen God Desert, with spatial powers twisting and fluctuating within the image, occasionally flashing with streaks of purple light.
