The Dark Moon Clan Was Right!

At this Heavenly Fire High Person's tears were streaming down his face...

Is this the legendary Vast Heaven Sect?

You call this "a little bit of knowledge"?

If you call this a little knowledge, then what am I, the Heavenly Fire High Person?

I've never even heard of Blue Demon Shadow Fire that you're talking about...

Now, faced with Elder He's sudden demand for him to speak without warning, Heavenly Fire High Person is visibly teary-eyed...

You all think too highly of me, Heavenly Fire High Person...

If this were in any other place, among a group of people who didn't know any better, with Heavenly Fire High Person's many years of experience, it wouldn't be impossible for him to spout nonsense.

But Heavenly Fire High Person said that in other places, if you make a careless remark and are wrong, at most you'll lose face. But in the Vast Heaven Sect, if you make a careless remark and are wrong, you could lose your life...

This concerns Chu Xinghe's safety; what am I supposed to say?

He said he was willing to give it a try?

If Chu Xinghe went in, let alone die inside, even if he was injured inside, just see if Mystic God Gu Mingchao could come out and crush me, Heavenly Fire High Person, to death...

Similarly, if there's danger preventing them from going, then the other major powers won't let them off the hook either.

So, Heavenly Fire High Person is saying, "This is so damn difficult... Nothing I say will work right now..."

"Elder He is mocking this old man, Tianhuo... To be honest, I have never heard of this Blue Demon Shadow Fire before... so how could I dare to speak nonsense?"

Heavenly Fire High Person doesn't care about losing face; after all, no matter how much he loses face today, at least he won't lose his life.

When they heard Heavenly Fire High Person say that he had never heard of Blue Demon Shadow Fire, the Great Sage and Elder He looked puzzled.

Elder He thought, "This shouldn't be... Heavenly Fire High Person, aren't you known as the number one fire-type expert on the Blazing Sun Continent...? How could you not know about Blue Demon Shadow Fire?"

The Great Sage also agreed with Elder He, saying, "He's right... Even I, Great Sage who only has a slight understanding of fire, and Elder He, know a little about this Blue Demon Shadow Fire. Heavenly Fire High Person, you're too kind... Are you afraid of saying something wrong, so you're embarrassed to say it?"

Faced with the silent Heavenly Fire High Person, the Great Sage said, "Since the Heavenly Fire High Person is unwilling to speak, then I will make a fool of myself."

The Great Sage then stated that in his entire life, he had only studied flames for less than a thousand years... Regarding the various types of flames, the Great Sage said that he only had a superficial understanding, so if there was anything inappropriate in what he said, he asked the Heavenly Fire High Person to correct him.

Heavenly Fire High Person: "..."

Although the Great Sage had seen the Blue Demon Shadow Fire a few times, he had never personally experienced its power.

There is actually a balance of power between different types of flames; generally speaking, a powerful flame can suppress a flame of a lower power.

The best way to find out if the Holy One's Bright Gold Divine Fire can suppress the Blue Demon Shadow Fire is to test it out personally.

First, have someone burned to death by the Bright Gold Divine Fire... then have them burned to death by the Blue Demon Shadow Fire... wouldn't it be obvious which one is more powerful?

"Does Heavenly Fire High Person find my words reasonable?"

Heavenly Fire High Person: "???"

Heavenly Fire High Person was completely dumbfounded... Was this even a question of whether it made sense or not?

What kind of Great Sage are you...? What you just said wasn't even human language, you know?

Even the Heavenly Fire High Person had to admit that the method the Great Sage used to test flames was damnably simple and brutal.

But regardless of whether it's simple or crude, this method is absolutely flawless in its effectiveness.

The problem is... how can someone who has been burned to death by the Bright Gold Divine Fire then be burned to death by the Blue Demon Shadow Fire?

Isn't this requirement a bit too high?

But Heavenly Fire High Person soon realized that while he didn't know if other sects could use this simple and crude testing method, the Vast Heaven Sect really did have it.

Soon... the Grand Elder instructed Shen Chun, who had appeared out of nowhere, to immediately gather all the Dark Moon Clan.

A moment later, a group of the Vast Heaven Sect disciples and several Dark Moon Clan carried in a pile of mangled corpses.

An Lan looked embarrassed and said... Well, Holy One... Please don't be in such a hurry... We were having a little friendly fight here, and we got the message right when we were in the middle of it. I was afraid of delaying the important matters on the Holy One's side, so I didn't wait for them to resurrect and came over immediately with their corpses.

Holy One, do not worry, I will put the pressure on them right away, and they will be alive soon.

With the help of a group of the Vast Heaven Sect disciples and An Lan, who frantically pieced things together... a portion of the Dark Moon Clan came back to life and immediately greeted the Holy One.

But some of them did not survive.

An Lan scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Um... Senior Brother An Lan... Is it possible that this head belongs to An Xin, and the body to An Mo... We put it together incorrectly?" Covered in blood, Shen Chun spoke while wielding a knife and chopping off the head that had just been put back together to start over.

The situation was somewhat out of control... After all, not every family can remain relatively calm when facing the Dark Moon Clan like the people of the Vast Heaven Sect.

So here we are, the Grand Elder instructs his disciples to serve fruit, snacks and tea to the bigwigs of various factions.

The fruit, snacks, and tea were served, but not a single one was touched...

After all, you've witnessed several people frantically searching for a body, holding heads, arms, and legs, constantly making mistakes and having to cut off parts and reassemble them...

Aside from the members of the Vast Heaven Sect, most people really don't have an appetite for fruit and snacks.

It has to be the Grand Elder... The Grand Elder ate tea and fruit while occasionally giving instructions to Shen Chun.

"Shen Chun... that body clearly isn't An Mo's... those two heels next to your heels should be An Mo's... the calves aren't... cut off the calves first, find An Mo's calves..."

"And An Lan, An Xin's arm over there is wrong. The upper part of An Xin's arm isn't that thick... Cut it off and find another one... You guys chopped it into too many pieces..."

"That intestine wasn't from the An Zhui... I've seen An Zhui's intestines a few times, but none of them were this thick..."

"That liver wasn't from An Kong either... An Kong's liver looks more rounded."

"Those two kidneys are clearly different sizes, how could they be from the same person? Take them out and search again... And that spine, first check who doesn't have a spine, then just put it back in, isn't that enough..."

The entire audience. "..."

After a flurry of activity, all the Dark Moon Clan were finally pieced together...

The resurrected Dark Moon Clan immediately bowed to the Holy One and the Grand Elder.

With the resurrection of many Dark Moon Clan, the scene returned to a sliver of normalcy... but only a sliver...

Elder He didn't waste any words and directly revealed the Great Sage's double-burn plan.

Upon hearing that they were to be burned to death twice, twice in such terrifying flames, the eyes of the Dark Moon Clan nearly exploded...

Damn, this is good news right after I was resurrected?

An Lan was the first to jump out and declare, "Holy One, I, An Lan, am exceptionally resistant to fire. Please burn me first. Moreover, I have some knowledge of fire. During the burning process, I can accurately analyze the degree of pain and lethality brought by the flames!"

To this, An Zhui, "An Lan... you can say anything else and I won't say an An Zhui, but if you're talking about starting a fire, what makes you think you An Zhui to me, An Lan?"

Back in the sealed land, I was the one An Zhui the first person to perform the "burning alive" act for the Holy One!

Furthermore, the An Zhui of burning people alive for entertainment was originally mine; don't you, An Lan, have any shame?

You think you know anything about fire...? You think you know as much about fire as I, An Zhui?

A group of the Dark Moon Clan members nearly came to blows in the reception hall, but thankfully the Great Sage managed to kill An Lan and An Zhui with his left and right hands respectively, finally bringing the situation under control...

On site. "..."

Although the Dark Moon Clan has temporarily fallen silent, the powerful figures from all sides present were moved to tears...

So this is the Dark Moon Clan... I'd heard of the Dark Moon Clan, but until I saw it with my own eyes, I had no idea how terrifying they were.

As An Lan and An Zhui came back to life, Cheng Xiaotian spoke up, "Great Sage, you may not know this... While the method you mentioned earlier was very useful, letting the Dark Moon Clan experience two types of flames is probably a bit impractical..."

"The ruins have restrictions on the cultivation level of those who enter... the highest level is below the Ninth Rank..."

Cheng Xiaotian said with a helpless expression, "After all, look at this group of the Dark Moon Clan, every single one of them has a cultivation level below Martial Emperor?"

Even if the Dark Moon Clan wanted to rush in and experience the thrill of being burned to death, they wouldn't have the right to enter.

But as soon as Cheng Xiaotian said this, An Mo, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly yelled out!

"Haha... It's my turn, An Mo... None of you can get in... Only I, An Mo, am qualified... Hahaha..."

An Mo burst into wild laughter, while the other Dark Moon Clan sighed in despair.

Cheng Xiaotian was also stunned by what An Mo said...

What's with this "An Mo" thing... are you deaf?

Wasn't what I, Cheng Xiaotian, said clear enough?

Those ruins only allow entry to those below the Ninth Rank. Although you, An Mo, are the weakest among the many Dark Moon Clan, even if you are weak, you still have a cultivation level of at least the Middle Ninth Rank... Tell me, how are you going to get in?

Upon hearing Cheng Xiaotian's words, An Mo burst into loud laughter.

An Mo said, "City Lord Cheng, you're being too optimistic... It's true that the ruins are restricted to Ninth Rank, and I An Mo, am indeed Ninth Rank, but who says I can't go in?"

I can simply let my cultivation level drop from the Subordinate Ninth Rank to the Eighth Rank by An Mo myself!

Regarding An Mo's statement, many Dark Moon Clan agreed that An Mo made perfect sense... Is it really that difficult to drop a level by abandoning one's cultivation? Isn't that something anyone can do? Why are you all so surprised?

This is because the rest of us have such high cultivation levels that it's not easy for us to drop too many levels; otherwise, why would An Mo have had the chance to self-destruct?

The audience. "???"

Stunned... Cheng Xiaotian was also stunned... He had crippled his cultivation?

Do you guys even want to listen to what the Dark Moon Clan is saying? The impact of self-destruction on one's cultivation is enormous. Once you lose your cultivation, the time it takes to regain it...

Well... thinking about the word "time," Cheng Xiaotian thought... the Dark Moon Clan was right...
