In the silent luxury room, not long after Yuan Tiexin finished speaking, the door burst open. A group of people strode in, led by a half-elf man whose entire body flickered faintly with emerald-green sparks.
The moment this half-elf man appeared, the fire elements throughout the room seemed to have answered his summons and completely submitted to him. The temperature in the room steadily rose, as if everywhere within it was part of the half-elf's domain of fire.
"Chi Lian, why are you here?" Yuan Tiexin asked in surprise as he looked at the half-elf man.
Not many people in the entire Heavenly Secrets Pavilion knew the name Chi Lian. Those who did were all from the older generation, because although the man named Chi Lian looked to be only thirty or forty years old, he had actually long since passed fifty. Several years ago, he had already stepped away from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's public affairs and begun operating behind the scenes.
Before his retirement, Chi Lian had been an absolute monster in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, capable of competing with the monster commander of Illusory Myth's ace legion. Now that he was no longer occupied with guild affairs and could devote himself fully to improving his own strength, even Yuan Tiexin, who was quite close to Chi Lian, could not guess just how powerful Chi Lian had become.
However, what Chi Lian was most renowned for in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was not his personal strength.
The Blazing Fire Legion!
This was a legion of experts personally cultivated by Chi Lian, and one of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's ace legions. Although it had few members—only two hundred—every one of them was a genius Chi Lian had carefully selected from among the newcomers recruited by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
