The disciples of the Divine Fire Manor barely managed to control the divine fire bestowed upon them by their master, and they hurled it at Feixiao, as if they could already see her being burned to ashes by the divine fire.

However, this also exhausted their divine fire, so they had to ask their master to lend them more.

Not having the bloodline of the Dongfang Spirit Race is definitely inconvenient...

This is also one of the reasons why the disciples of the Divine Fire Manor are not as good as those of other Dao Alliance forces.

Although it is one of the strongest forces alongside the Wangquan family, there are only three true members of the Eastern Clan in the Divine Fire Manor. The others are not members of the Spirit Clan and can only borrow the divine fire.

"Oh."

Seeing the confidence in the eyes of the disciples of the Divine Fire Manor, Feixiao couldn't help but chuckle.

They are too young and inexperienced.

Facing the miniature divine fire that hurtled towards him, Feixiao neither dodged nor evaded, but instead approached and grabbed it... to refine it...

Finally, the divine fire transformed into a small flame and appeared in Feixiao's hand.

Chapter 17 The Old Master of the Manor, Dongfang Guyue.

"The Pure Yang Flame Demon Extermination Divine Fire is similar to a strange fire..."

Feixiao played with the small flame in his hand. This Pure Yang Flame had an extraordinary origin, no less than some of the strange flames from the previous world.

She did want to compare it with a different kind of fire, but unfortunately, all those different kinds of fire were inside Yun Li's body.

Only by completing the system tasks and clearing two or three more worlds can she truly obtain everything from Yun Li.

Although she doesn't have any strange fire here, she has already come into contact with various powerful strange fires in the previous world, and is also very skilled in controlling the Pure Yang Flame.

Even though she doesn't have the blood of the Dongfang Spirit Race...

After playing with the small, Pure Yang Flame for a while, Feixiao squeezed it tightly and extinguished it.

This is just a fragment of the flame separated from the Dongfang Guyue. Once it's used up, it's gone. It's not the complete source of divine fire, so naturally it has no value for collection.

No need to keep it...

"The divine fire has been taken away, oh no..."

Why? Because a demon can come into contact with divine fire and even control it.

The Demon Extermination Divine Fire they barely managed to control together not only failed to eliminate the fox demon before them, but was also easily refined and controlled by her.

I think I might not be fully awake...

How could a demon possibly touch the divine fire, let alone control it? It's impossible that the fox demon in front of us also has the bloodline of the manor lord and the others, and is also Dongfang Spirit Race, right?

"Shall we continue?"

Feixiao glanced at the people in front of him and beckoned to them with his finger.

However, upon hearing this, the disciples of the Divine Fire Manor instinctively retreated. Even the Demon Extermination Divine Fire couldn't deal with the fox demon before them, so how could they have the courage to continue attacking?

"It seems that no one dares to make a move."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Feixiao's eyes; as expected, there wasn't a single one worth looking at.

Among the younger generation of the Divine Fire Manor, only Jin Renfeng and Dongfang Huaizhu are truly outstanding.

Jin Renfeng was a treacherous and ungrateful man who had been killed by his own master, and no one remembered his existence anymore.

Dongfang Huaizhu hasn't appeared yet, so she's probably not in this villa.

Ignoring the people around him, Feixiao prepared to continue deeper into the Divine Fire Manor. The old manor lord did not appear at this time, either because he was not there or because he was probably bedridden.

In that case, she probably came for nothing today.

"Cough cough..."

Just as Feixiao was about to venture deeper into the manor, a cough sounded, followed by an elderly man with white hair emerging, supported by a maid.

"Huh..."

Feixiao stopped and looked at the old man who slowly walked out in front of him. This was most likely the manor lord of the Divine Fire Manor, Dongfang Guyue.

Feixiao guessed that Dongfang was probably not young, but he didn't expect him to be so old, which made him a little disappointed.

A hero grows old!

He was originally a grandmaster who dominated the world for decades, but human lifespan is limited.

In this world, no matter how high one's cultivation level, lifespan is basically only a few decades, which is incomparable to the long lifespan of the Demon Race.

Feixiao felt embarrassed to even try his hand at the divine fire of such an old man.

"Master?!"

"Master, why did you come out?"

"This fox demon is going too far! Please, do us justice!"

"Yes, she injured my fellow disciples without a word and looked down on my Divine Fire Manor, causing my Divine Fire Manor to lose face."

Upon seeing the old man appear, the disciples of the mountain manor who were terrified of Feixiao suddenly found their pillar of support and hurriedly went to his side, loudly denouncing Feixiao's crimes.

Most people didn't even realize that their master was no longer the once-powerful and influential Dong Fang Alliance Leader in the martial arts world.

He's old, and his health isn't what it used to be...

She even needs someone to help her walk.

However, due to Dongfang Guyue's long-standing reputation and their years of worship and admiration for their master, most people subconsciously ignored this point.

In the hearts of many disciples, Dongfang Guyue still possesses a powerful force that even demon kings and demon emperors fear.

While the others kept asking Dongfang Guyue to make decisions for them, one of the disciples approached Dongfang Guyue and said something that shocked Dongfang Guyue as well.

"Master, this fox demon is using some kind of method, it's completely unafraid of the Demon Extermination Divine Fire..."

"Aren't you afraid of the Demon Extermination Divine Fire?"

Dongfang Guyue was startled and looked at Feixiao in front of her.

Even after years of dominating the world, he had never seen a monster that was unafraid of divine fire.

Unless she also possesses the spiritual blood of the Eastern race, or has been refined with the blood of the Dongfang Spirit Race, he cannot ignore it, no matter what the reason.

However, judging from his physical condition, the strength he can currently unleash is less than half of his peak strength...

He told the maid beside him to release him, and at the same time told the surrounding disciples to be quiet. He took a step forward towards Feixiao and showed his best condition.

"I have no enmity with the Tushan Fox Clan. Today, young lady, you have barged into my Divine Fire Manor and injured my disciple... I wonder what your intentions are?"

"If you can't give me an explanation, this matter won't end well..."

In his youth Dongfang Guyue was a powerful figure who commanded respect from all directions. He was also on good terms with Wang Quan Shouzhuo, the head of the Wang Quan family, and was renowned for his reputation. Even now that he is older, he still exudes a strong sense of pressure.

He stood there, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.

That's enough to instill fear in many people, whether human or demon...

For many years, no monster has dared to approach the Divine Fire Manor, precisely because of his intimidating presence.

"What explanation? You should be thanking me for teaching those unfilial disciples a lesson..."

"Besides, I've already shown them mercy. Otherwise, do you think they'd still be standing here unharmed?"

The Dongfang Guyue, is quite strong, but he is bad at judging people.

He regarded Jin Renfeng as his pride, but he was completely unaware of Jin Renfeng's wolfish ambitions until Jin Renfeng made his move.

Unfortunately, it was too late by then...

A grandmaster, in the end, died at the hands of his own disciple, who drained his blood and even murdered his two daughters, who then became his targets.

As for the other disciples of the Divine Fire Manor, few of them were qualified either.

After Jin Renfeng betrayed his master and took control of the Divine Fire Manor, most of the people who had joined Jin Renfeng turned against his master's daughter.

How tragic, how lamentable!

I helped him deal with Jin Renfeng and teach those disciples a lesson, he should be thanking me, but he's blaming me instead.

"How dare you!"

Dongfang Guyue was unaware of these things. Upon hearing Feixiao's words, she felt that Feixiao was insulting her for her lack of effective teaching.

Although he is old, his strength is not as great as before.

However, an old lion is still not someone that ordinary people can mess with. In the original story, even though he was bedridden for a long time, he would not have been so easily defeated by Jin Renfeng if he had not been unwarranted to be wary of him.

So even though he was reluctant to act due to his health, since they had already broken into the manor, he naturally couldn't remain inactive...

"I have long heard of the immense power of the Demon Extermination Divine Fire of the Dongfang Spirit Race. I wonder if the old master could let me witness a divine fire truly refined by the Spirit Clan?"

Noticing Dongfang Guyue's attitude, Feixiao naturally understood his thoughts, but didn't care.

Instead, it revealed his purpose...

"Want to witness my Demon -Demon Extermination Divine Fire? Heh, it's been a long time since I've heard that request."

Hearing the fox demon's words, Dongfang Guyue couldn't help but chuckle. Back when he had just left the Dongfang Secret Realm and was still unknown in the outside world, a confident demon had said something similar to him.

But all those monsters died.

The reputation of the Demon Extermination Divine Fire was built on the deaths of one powerful demon after another. Since then, virtually no demon has dared to say such a thing.

Even the Demon Emperor dared not directly resist his divine fire.

"Since you want to see it, then this old man... cough cough... will grant your wish! I hope you won't regret it..."

Although his body is no longer strong, he can still summon divine fire.

As Dongfang Guyue spoke, a terrifying flame appeared in his hand. This flame was far superior to the divine flames controlled by Jin Renfeng and the disciples of the Divine Fire Manor.

It is the most essential power of Pure Yang Flame...

In the ancient times of this world, people knew how to use fire to drive away wild beasts, and some cultivators even accidentally discovered a divine fire that was specifically designed to kill demons. This divine fire was the ancient Demon Extermination Divine Fire - Pure Yang Flame.

This fire can only be forged using the spiritual blood of the Eastern race.

Not only is it invincible against demons, but Pure Yang Flame can also re-temper Magic Treasure, improving their quality and power, and even adding other abilities.

"This is the true Pure Yang Flame!"

Looking at the divine fire in Dongfang Guyue's hand, Feixiao finally showed a bit of seriousness.

The divine fire before her was just as she had imagined, truly possessing the characteristics and essence of the "Samadhi True Fire" from mythology.

As mentioned before, many of the Magic Treasure and characters in this world are based on the settings of Journey to the West.

The Pure Yang Flame, which the Dongfang Spirit Race refines and summons, is based on the "Samadhi True Fire" from Journey to the Journey to the West.

"Samadhi" is a Buddhist term meaning to calm the mind and stop distracting thoughts; it is a state of spiritual practice. "True fire," on the other hand, emphasizes that it is a real, pure flame.

The Samadhi True Fire is incredibly powerful, capable of burning away all kinds of evil spirits and powerful demons. In mythology, it is often one of the important means by which deities subdue demons and monsters.

Furthermore, it is difficult to extinguish; ordinary water cannot put it out, and it requires specific Magic Treasure or spells to control.

In "Journey to the West", the Samadhi True Fire used by Red Boy was so powerful that even Sun Wukong could not withstand it.

Sun Wukong asked the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to bring rain to extinguish the fire, but they could not put out the Samadhi True Fire. In the end, he had to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to use the nectar in her Jade Bottle to subdue it.

The abilities and characteristics of Pure Yang Flame are almost identical to those of Samadhi True Fire, although it is somewhat inferior in terms of power level...

"Come on! Master Dongfang, there's no need to hold back. Unleash your full power and let me witness the might of the Pure Yang Flame."

Feixiao extended her left hand, and an incredibly heavy double-edged axe appeared out of thin air in her grasp. The girl held the axe upright before her, signaling the old man to make his move...

It wasn't out of respect for the elderly and care for the young, but rather because if he made the first move, Dongfang Guyue wouldn't have a chance to act.

"The young Demon Race these days are truly arrogant!"

"Very well, I haven't made a move in a long time, which has made many people and demons forget how terrifying the Demon Extermination Divine Fire is."

Knowing that his days were numbered and he might not live for more than a few years, he knew that if he didn't act now, he would never have another chance.

While he still had the ability to act, he once again displayed the power of the Demon Extermination Divine Fire, deterring those who harbored ill intentions towards the Divine Fire Manor.

In this way, Divine Fire Manor can have some peace and quiet for a while longer.
