Chapter 317

Ultimately, Divine Fire Manor currently lacks a worthy successor. None of his disciples have yet met his standards.

As for his two daughters, one was too young, and the other... let alone letting her inherit the Divine Fire Manor, he was more worried about the secrets of the Dongfang Spirit Race women being exposed.

He would find it even harder to accept if his two daughters were targeted by those with ulterior motives.

If only we could find a qualified son-in-law who could protect Huaizhu and the others and inherit the Divine Fire Manor.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Dongfang Guyue raised the Divine Fire Pure Yang Flame in his hand and directly transformed it into a fire-breathing divine bird that appeared in the sky.

"Girl, be careful! This is the divine fire you are about to witness."

Dongfang Guyue called out to Feixiao, then directly controlled the Flame Bird to pounce on her.

Although he was old and frail, his control over the divine fire was still enough to make the Demon Emperor awe!

"Good timing."

"Fearless! Undeterred!"

Facing the fiery divine bird before him, Feixiao also had a large number of azure whirlwinds around him, and his aura even directly overwhelmed the Pure Yang Flame.

In that instant, Feixiao grabbed the double-edged axe and leaped into the air, slashing directly at the divine bird formed from the Pure Yang Flame before him.

"Overestimating himself... he's just a young demon after all."

Seeing that Feixiao not only didn't dodge, but instead took the initiative to meet his Pure Yang Flame, Dongfang Guyue shook his head.

Those demon emperors who come into contact with the Pure Yang Flame will be severely burned the moment they touch it, and the flame will never be extinguished.

To deal with Pure Yang Flame, the only way is to rely on other methods...

"...Well!!"

His thought had just begun when Dongfang Guyue's eyes widened, staring ahead in disbelief.

The Pure Yang Flame bird, formed from Pure Yang Flame, was actually cleaved in two by the fox demon wielding a double-edged axe.

How could that be?

Pure Yang Flame cannot be split open by anything!

Dongfang Guyue was startled, but he did not stop. He continued to manipulate the Pure Yang Flame into a giant fire lotus.

The fiery lotus bloomed beneath Feixiao, then began to merge, completely enveloping Feixiao...

"Master is mighty!!"

"Hahaha, look how arrogant this fox demon is, but now it's been extinguished by Master's divine fire."

"Master truly lives up to his reputation as one of the strongest in the Dao Alliance. His control over the divine fire is awe-inspiring! He is practically a god of fire reborn."

Seeing Feixiao enveloped in Pure Yang Flame, the disciples of the Divine Fire Manor immediately began to flatter their master.

But at this moment, Dongfang Guyue himself was not happy at all. Looking at the huge fire lotus in front of him, he felt a sense of unease.

Chapter 18: Either wait to die slowly, or listen to me.

"... Could it be that there really is someone in this world who can ignore Pure Yang Flame?"

Ignoring the voices of the surrounding disciples, Dongfang Guyue stared intently at the fire lotus formed from Pure Yang Flame above.

Even as the Pure Yang Flame burned larger and larger, his unease only intensified.

But he couldn't understand what kind of monster in this world could break through the burning of the Pure Yang Flame, not even the Demon Emperor...

Since the Feixiao before them had no Dongfang Spirit Race bloodline and no familiar spiritual blood aura, only two possibilities remained.

One reason is that she killed members of the Eastern Clan and used the heart's blood of the Dongfang Spirit Race to make herself immune to the burning divine fire.

Even so, it is impossible to be completely immune to Pure Yang Flame, and it also makes the Divine Fire unstable.

That leaves another possibility...

That is, the most secretive and also the most powerful existence in this world, overseas... Aolai Country.

In fact, the Demon Extermination Divine Fire of the Dongfang Spirit Race was not obtained by them, but was passed down by the Third Young Core Flame of Third Young Master of Aolai Country.

Originally, the Eastern Clan was supposed to use the Pure Yang Flame to protect the human race from external enemies, but the Dongfang Spirit Race was arrogant and thought that even if they protected the human race, they would not receive any reward.

Even some Eastern people believe that the protective barrier within the Third Young Master of Aolai Country will eventually be destroyed, and the world will perish as a result.

So they decided to live in seclusion, creating another space— the Dongfang Secret Realm —and living a life cut off from the world, unaffected by future Outside the Circle disasters...

Unfortunately, some things cannot be hidden away and remain unscathed.

"Not good!"

"Everyone, get out of here immediately and find somewhere to hide!"

Suddenly, Dongfang Guyue's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, hurriedly shouting to the disciples around him.

The surrounding disciples were still confused. Hadn't their master already subdued the fox demon? Why was he still so nervous?

However, most of the disciples obediently left the area immediately.

At that moment, the Pure Yang Flame Lotus above began to twist and contort, finally unable to withstand the pressure and exploded, sending countless sparks flying in all directions.

The Pure Yang Flame sparks could ignite anything, and when they landed on the surrounding buildings and stone and wood, they immediately burst into flames.

Feixiao, who had been swallowed by the Pure Yang Flame, reappeared in the sky unharmed.

Even the Pure Yang Flame, which should have been wielded only by the Dongfang Spirit Race, was burning gently in her palm, showing no intention of harming her.

Compared to Dongfang Guyue, Feixiao, who was holding the Pure Yang Flame, looked more like a high and mighty fire god.

"It's not the real Samadhi True Fire after all..."

Feixiao raised the Pure Yang Flame in her palm, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes. She had been devoured and burned by the Pure Yang Flame before, and she was prepared to be burned into some kind of fiery eyes, just like Sun Wukong.

However, although this Pure Yang Flame is similar to the Samadhi True Fire, under the control of Dongfang Guyue, its power far surpasses the divine fire previously controlled by Jin Renfeng and others.

But it's still far from enough...

That's right. Although this Pure Yang Flame is said to be a divine Core Flame created by the Aolai Sanshao using the monkey hair left behind by Monkey the Great and combining it with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is a world-saving fire.

But ultimately, the level of this world is too low, not as good as the Samadhi True Fire of Daoist mythology.

"You... you..."

Watching Feixiao directly refine his Pure Yang Flame, Dongfang Guyue opened her eyes wide and kept calling out "you... you..." but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He was certain that the fox demon in front of him had no bloodline of the Dongfang Spirit Race, but why was she able to refine his divine fire?

This is completely contrary to his common sense.

Could it be that she is truly connected to that person from Aolai Country? Or perhaps something has happened in the Dongfang Secret Realm recently?

He couldn't control what happened in Aolai Country, but he would care if something happened in the Dongfang Secret Realm.

Although Dongfang Guyue chose to leave the clan's secret realm for his own reasons and established the Divine Fire Manor in the outside world, he was regarded as a "traitor" by some members of the Dongfang Spirit Race.

But he is, after all, an Easterner, and his friend is still in the secret realm.

"It's just a fire control technique."

Feixiao casually extinguished the Pure Yang Flame in his hand.

Without the blood of the Eastern Spirit, one cannot refine Pure Yang Flame; that's something others can't do, but not her.

Although the strange fire from the previous world is gone, few people in this world can match her control over flames.

"Now, old master... do you still want to continue?!"

Feixiao didn't rush to make a move. He picked up the double-edged axe with one hand and looked down at the old man in front of him.

She had already witnessed the legendary Pure Yang Flame, and in theory, she had accomplished her goal. However, a new idea came to her mind.

My task is to unify the area within the circle and the Hunt Outside the Circle.

Now that you've already Divine Fire Manor, why not just take over Divine Fire Manor, the strongest force in the Dao Alliance?

Although her first goal should be to first occupy a certain territory and power, and then use that as a starting point to unify the circle.

However, they would not mind taking over Divine Fire Manor first, and then using that to find the Dongfang Secret Realm and subdue the entire Dongfang Secret Realm Dongfang Spirit Race within it.

The healing abilities of the Leech Tribe and the Pure Yang Flame of the Eastern clan are both excellent combat resources, laying a solid foundation for her upcoming formal battles.

Having made the decision, Feixiao naturally had to get the old man in front of him to "voluntarily" become his subordinate.

Even if it's not voluntary, she has other ways to get it to be voluntary.

"... What exactly do you want?"

Dongfang Guyue fell silent, her imposing aura gone.

He had completely lost the pride he once had as the Dong Fang Alliance Leader. He had aged, his health had declined, and he was far from being as strong as he had been in his youth.

He has too many things he can't let go of right now, so naturally he can't fight the fox demon in front of him to the death.

Moreover, even his own divine fire Pure Yang Flame, couldn't do anything to her, so what ability did he have to stop her?

Fortunately, the fox demon in front of them didn't seem to have any intention of killing them all; rather, it had other purposes.

Since that's the case, then there's something to talk about.

This is also the best outcome.

"I want... Divine Fire Manor, and the Dongfang Secret Realm behind you."

Feixiao's figure appeared in front of Dongfang Guyue in a flash, silently sheathing his weapon, and staring at the old man before him as he revealed his purpose and thoughts.

"What!!"

Even Dongfang Guyue, who had experienced all sorts of great storms, was shocked when she heard Feixiao's request.

He wouldn't have reacted so strongly if it were just about the Divine Fire Manor, but the Dongfang Secret Realm...

"You actually knew about the existence of the Dongfang Secret Realm?!"

In this world, only he and a very few others should know of the existence of the Dongfang Secret Realm, especially within the outside world.

The fox demon before them not only knew of its existence, but even boasted that it wanted it.

"That's impossible."

After the initial shock, Dongfang Guyue rejected Feixiao's offer without hesitation.

"Moreover, the Dongfang Secret Realm is not something I can control. I am just someone who has left my clan's territory."

Putting aside the fact that he couldn't possibly sell out his clan's territory, and that he didn't have the right to do so, he had already lost the relevant obligations after leaving the Dongfang Secret Realm.

This is one of the reasons why he never planned to go back, even when he was old.

"You can't say that. Isn't Dongfang Bu your closest friend?"

Dongfang Bu is a top expert of the Dongfang Spirit Race, known as the "Nine Star Fire God," and holds a leadership-like position within the Dongfang Spirit Race.

When Dongfang Guyue left the clan's territory, Dongfang Bu tried to persuade him to stay, but to no avail.

"You even know this? Who exactly are you?"

Dongfang Guyue stared intently at Feixiao, wondering who she was and why she knew so much about the Dongfang Secret Realm and her own affairs.

You should know that he never told any outsiders about these things...

"As I've already said before, the Xianzhou Yaoqing, Feixiao."

"..."

Xianzhou Yaoqing? Never heard of it before.

It's not a fox demon from Tushan either.

That's right, there couldn't possibly be such a powerful being among the Tushan fox demons, not even the former King of Tushan.

"I may have to disappoint you, but I do know Dongfang Bu, though I don't have the power to get him to give up the entire Dongfang Secret Realm."

"He would never do that, and the Eastern tribes would not agree to it either."

Coming to her senses, Dongfang Guyue did not deny her relationship with Dongfang Bu, but even if Dongfang Bu agreed to Feixiao's request, the other members of the Dongfang Spirit Race would not.

As a member of the Eastern Clan, Dongfang Guyue was well aware of the pride in her clan.

The reason why the entire race entered the secret realm was not only to escape the catastrophe that would follow if the circle were broken, but also because the Dongfang Spirit Race no longer considered themselves ordinary humans.
