After descending Heaven Burning Mountain Range, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan, led by the Fire Swallowing Clan Ancestor, met the Fire Spirit Clan members who had come to invite them.
The leader was an elder of the Fire Spirit Clan, an Upper Earth Sovereign.
Upon seeing Wei Yang and Xiao Yan, he was exceedingly respectful and enthusiastic, opening with all manner of flattering praise.

Though he concealed it well, the keenly perceptive Wei Yang and Xiao Yan still caught traces of worry and unease in his eyes.
This discovery made the two exchange a glance in secret, both thinking, Just as expected.
Their instincts had been right. There really was something wrong with the Fire Spirit Clan. It seemed that this so-called banquet invitation was far from well-intentioned.
However, they did not expose it and simply went along.
No matter what the Fire Spirit Clan was plotting, their clan-protecting flame was precisely what Wei Yang and Xiao Yan wanted. They might as well go with the flow.
They were not afraid of the other side turning hostile; they were afraid they would not.
Since the Fire Spirit Clan had chosen to act without benevolence first, they could not blame them for responding in kind.
Fire Spirit Continent.
When the group arrived, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan received an enthusiastic welcome from the Fire Spirit Clan.
The Fire Spirit Clan Head personally came to greet them, then accompanied and guided them onward. They chatted and laughed along the way until they reached the main banquet hall.
Wei Yang walked with his hands clasped behind his back. He neither accepted nor rejected the Fire Spirit Clan Head's attentiveness, his face carrying a faintly indifferent air.
