People Who Dared Look Down on Senior Li

Facing Long Ziyin's question, Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei both looked somewhat awkward.

Huo Xuanfei said, "Reporting to Dragon Saintess, in our Fire Kingdom, only one person has cultivated the Eye of Mystic Fire—the Fire Emperor."

"We have only barely cultivated the Eye of Blazing Fire."

Cultivating the Eye of Mystic Fire was simply too difficult.

Apart from requiring exceptional comprehension and aptitude, it also needed the assistance of many fire-attributed treasures.

Mystic Fire Wood and the like were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, and even the entire kingdom could hardly find any.

Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei were both considered geniuses among their clan, yet they had only reached the level of the Eye of Blazing Fire.

"I suppose that makes sense. After all, the ultimate art of a Supreme from an entire generation is not easy to cultivate."

Long Ziyin nodded, but disappointment showed in her beautiful eyes.

"The Eye of Blazing Fire is ultimately much weaker. If only it were a little stronger..."

She murmured to herself.

Huo Mingxuan said, "May I ask, Saintess, could this Secret Realm have something to do with our Fire Kingdom's eye art?"

Long Ziyin nodded and said, "I won't hide it from you two. We have already investigated the matter. This Secret Realm's opening is very likely related to Lihuo Supreme, who once swept across the Southern Domain of Profound Heaven Realm and found few opponents!"

Lihuo Supreme!

Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei were both utterly shocked!

This was actually a Supreme Secret Realm?

No wonder. No wonder even a force like the Dragon Profound Sect had been alarmed this time.

"I understand now. According to legend, our Fire Kingdom's eye art was passed down by Lihuo Supreme. One of our clan's Old Ancestors once followed Lihuo Supreme..."

Huo Mingxuan revealed a secret.

Those who cultivated Lihuo Supreme's eye art would surely have many advantages after entering the Secret Realm.

That was precisely why Long Ziyin had extended an olive branch. Otherwise, how could the dignified Saintess of the Dragon Profound Sect possibly take an interest in them?

He raised his head and said, "Saintess, rest assured. Although we have only cultivated the Eye of Blazing Fire, our clan possesses an item that can greatly enhance eye arts when held."

"Temporarily reaching the realm of the Eye of Mystic Fire is not impossible."

"Where is that item now?" Long Ziyin asked.

A smile appeared on Huo Mingxuan's face as he said, "It is with my Third Sister!"

"And she is currently in the Lihuo Sect!"

Long Ziyin also smiled and said, "Since that is the case, would you two please accompany me to this Secret Realm? There are some areas where Ziyin will need to rely on your Eyes of Blazing Fire. In return, I can also bring you two many benefits."

Upon hearing this, both of them were overjoyed!

They had yearned for the chance to establish a connection with the Saintess of a Supreme-level force!

"We will certainly do our best!"

Huo Mingxuan spoke excitedly!

"Let's go to the Lihuo Sect to retrieve the item first!"

The Divine Dragon Boat was extremely fast.

Before long, they had already appeared outside the Lihuo Sect.

"Dragon Profound Sect Saintess Long Ziyin, Fire Kingdom's Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei, have arrived at the Lihuo Sect!"

A shout shook the mountain wilderness!

Everyone in the Lihuo Sect was stunned.

"The Dragon Profound Sect... Why has such a top-tier sect come here?"

Yu Qishui and the others were all astonished!

"The Dragon Profound Sect... It seems this Secret Realm's level is even higher than I imagined!"

Fire Ling'er's expression grew solemn. Then, when she thought of the two people accompanying Long Ziyin, her face darkened.

"Let's go out and take a look. No matter what force has come, I believe everything must already be within Senior Li's calculations!"

Everyone immediately went outside.

The Divine Dragon Boat had already stopped directly at the mountain gate.

Long Ziyin, Huo Mingxuan, and Huo Xuanfei stepped down.

"Nascent Soul Fifth Layer? As expected of the Saintess of the Dragon Profound Sect!"

Yu Qishui glanced at her, and his face was already filled with shock!

Long Ziyin looked no more than twenty years old, right?

Was this the foundation of a Supreme-level force?

"Lihuo Sect Sect Master Wei Yushan greets Dragon Saintess, First Prince, and Second Princess!"

Wei Yushan bowed slightly to the group.

Long Ziyin merely looked indifferently at Fire Ling'er and said, "Is this the Third Princess of the Fire Kingdom?"

She had noticed Fire Ling'er's eyes.

For some reason, when she faced Fire Ling'er's eyes, she felt a little dazzled.

It was as if two blazing flames were burning there!

They were far stronger than Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei's.

Could it be because of that treasure? Her heart immediately relaxed. It seemed that treasure truly was effective!

"That's right."

Fire Ling'er nodded.

Huo Mingxuan walked forward and sneered. "Third Sister, I won't waste words with you. Hand over the Mysterious Fire Ring!"

He held himself high, arrogant and overbearing!

Fire Ling'er's face darkened as she said, "This is my mother's relic. You have no right to demand it from me!"

"Your mother?"

Huo Xuanfei stepped forward and sneered. "Wasn't your mother a member of the Fire Kingdom? Now that she's dead, this item should belong to the entire Fire Kingdom Royal Family!"

"What right do you have to claim it for yourself?"

An even greater fury shot from Fire Ling'er's eyes as she said, "My mother fought to protect the Fire Emperor, only to be ambushed by people sent by your Empress Mother. How dare you still come here to demand it?"

Her heart was filled with hatred!

Ten years ago, the Wind Kingdom had launched a sneak attack on the Fire Emperor while he was breaking through to the Mahayana Realm.

At that time, Fire Ling'er's mother, a secondary consort of the royal family, had burned her life away to protect the Fire Emperor.

Just as she had finally held on until the Fire Emperor broke through and the enemy withdrew, she was ambushed by people sent by the Fire Kingdom's Empress—Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei's mother—and her last sliver of vitality was severed.

In the face of all this, the Fire Emperor had merely killed the attackers and given Fire Ling'er's mother a lavish burial, refusing to pursue the true mastermind...

After all these years, she had never forgotten such a deep hatred!

Hatred had always been the driving force behind her advance.

Huo Mingxuan immediately became displeased and said, "What happened back then is already in the past. Bringing up old matters again—are you dissatisfied with Father Emperor?"

"Now, I am seeking blessings for the Fire Kingdom Royal Family. Whether you are willing or not, you must hand it over!"

He pressed her relentlessly!

Fire Ling'er bit her lower lip tightly, her fists clenched so hard that her nails nearly sank into her flesh!

"We only intend to borrow it for a time. I hope you will part with it," Long Ziyin said calmly at this moment.

A faint, indistinct aura gradually seeped from her body.

Oppression!

Fire Ling'er's heart sank completely.

Could she not even protect her mother's relic?

"You're going too far! Sister Ling'er doesn't want to give it to you. Are you actually planning to snatch it?"

At this moment, Mu Qianning could not help speaking up.

"How audacious! A mere ant dares to speak before our sect's Saintess?"

An Old Ancestor behind Long Ziyin's expression darkened, and an aura burst forth with a roar!

"Qian Ning, be careful!"

Yu Qishui's expression changed. He took one step to stand before Mu Qianning, but the terrifying aura instantly made him spit out a mouthful of blood!

Void Integration!

This was an attack from the Void Integration Stage!

"Grandmaster!"

Mu Qianning's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly supported Yu Qishui.

"You!"

Wei Yushan's eyes blazed with fury, and he clenched his fists!

This was bullying taken too far!

"Did I tell you to act?" Long Ziyin frowned.

The Old Ancestor's expression changed slightly at once. "Apologies, Saintess. I only wished to mete out a small punishment."

Long Ziyin said, "Forget it."

"You're being so reckless and arrogant. Do you truly think you're the strongest?!"

Wei Yushan spoke furiously.

Long Ziyin merely said indifferently, "I know you have someone behind you, but so what? Sorry, the so-called experts behind you are truly beneath the notice of our Dragon Profound Sect."

"The experts in your eyes are nothing but ants to us."

This was an innate sense of superiority!

Born into a Supreme-level force, what kind of expert had she not encountered?

They had already investigated the matter. There was indeed someone behind the Lihuo Sect, but at most, it was a Venerable in the Body Integration Realm. But so what?

That was nowhere near enough!

Wei Yushan was practically angered into laughter.

In this world, were there actually people who dared to look down on Senior Li so openly?

If he had not been worried that revealing Senior Li's existence would alert the enemy and ruin Senior Li's grand plan, he truly wanted to say it aloud and see whether these people would still dare to be so arrogant!

Fire Ling'er's face had also gone deathly pale.

She understood completely. The situation was no longer in her hands.

Behind Huo Mingxuan and the others now stood the Dragon Profound Sect.

"Hand it over, or wait for yourself and these ants from the Lihuo Sect to be destroyed together!"

Huo Mingxuan was blunt, a cruel smile on his face!

Fire Ling'er remained silent. Silent for a long while, she finally extended her hand.

A fiery-red ring appeared in her palm.

"Heh, wouldn't it have been better to take it out sooner?"

Huo Xuanfei sneered as she stepped forward and snatched the Mysterious Fire Ring.

The hatred-filled look in Fire Ling'er's eyes suddenly made her feel dazzled. She then added, "Don't look at me as though your hatred is endless. My Empress Mother killed your mother—what can you do about it?"

"She was merely a lowborn servant. Did she really think she was a princess?"

Having said that, she turned to Long Ziyin and smiled. "Saintess, we have obtained the item."

Long Ziyin's bearing was cold and aloof. She said indifferently, "Good. Let's go."

The group then boarded the Divine Dragon Boat and flew away!
