Furnace Fire Out of Control

"The Limitless Sect has dispatched such a powerful spaceship. Is there something important that requires their attention?" An Yin asked.

Song Wen said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You sisters should stay on the island and focus on your cultivation."

"Yes!" An Yin replied.

After dismissing An Yin, Song Wen returned to his cave abode and retrieved a Jade Slip.

The Jade Slip contained a nautical chart of the area surrounding Limitless Island.

As the Law Power was injected, a phantom image of a sea appeared before Song Wen's eyes.

The islands surrounding Limitless Island are divided into three levels: 'Heaven', 'Earth', and 'Human'.

Celestial-level islands are rare, and only Golden Core cultivators can reside there.

The nautical chart marks eighteen celestial-level islands that have been occupied.

The closest island to Extreme Yin Island is only about four thousand miles away.

This island is called Green Mountain Island, located south of Extreme Yin Island, and Yun Cang left in the direction of the south.

Song Wen put away the Jade Slip, and without disturbing An Tong and the other two women, quietly left the cave abode.

He flew high in the sky, using the clouds to conceal his figure.

In less than 45 minutes, he arrived near Green Mountain Island.

When he arrived, he happened to see the Star Raft Divine Ark leaving Green Mountain Island and heading southwest.

Song Wen took out the nautical chart and discovered that the nearest Tianji island in the southwest was six thousand miles away.

He continued to follow.

Song Wen discovered that, just as he had guessed, things were as he had suspected.

Yun Cang only accelerates the Star Raft Divine Ark at full speed when approaching the island of the Outer Sect Elder. At other times, the speed of the Star Raft Divine Ark is only equivalent to that of Late Golden Core Stage cultivator.

In addition, Song Wen also discovered that Yun Cang only asked most of the outer sect Golden Core elders simple questions.

If the other party has sufficient alibi, or their cultivation level is low, Yun Cang will not suspect too much. He will leave a Divine Sense imprint and then leave.

Song Wen guessed that Yun Cang was deliberately stirring up trouble. If someone had something to hide, they might deliberately erase the mark and choose to escape.

Yun Cang will then be able to use this to find the real culprit.

Song Wen followed Yun Cang to the sixth island, which was called Yi Hong Island and was more than 30,000 li away from Extreme Yin Island.

Meanwhile, Yun Cang's Star Raft Divine Ark was hovering above Yi Hong Island.

Not far ahead of the Star Raft Divine Ark, stood a cultivator at the Late Golden Core Stage.

This person is none other than Yi Hong Yi Hong Island.

Yi Hong is a weapon refiner, extremely skilled at crafting corpse-related magical Law Treasure, especially the corpse- Corpse-Nurturing Coffin most commonly used by corpse cultivators.

On Yi Hong Island, there is a huge weapon-refining workshop.

The entire island was constantly permeated with a dense aura of corpses and yin fire.

Perhaps believing that Yi Hong's abilities made him a suspect, Yun Cang's interrogation of Yi Hong was noticeably more severe and thorough than that of the previous interrogators.

"Yi Hong, you say you haven't left Yi Hong Island recently, but can anyone testify for you?" Yun Cang questioned.

Yi Hong said, "There are four Foundation Establishment cultivators and seven Qi Refinement cultivators on the island, and they can all testify for me."

Yun Cang wore a disdainful smile.

"They are all your disciples and servants; how could they easily betray you? I think you should come with me to Limitless Island for a thorough investigation by the sect. Only then can you truly clear your name."

Yi Hong said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to accompany you to the sect, Palace Master, but I'm currently refining a mid-grade magic Law Treasure and simply can't get away for the time being. I beg Palace Master Yun to grant me some more time. Once the Law Treasure is completed, I will definitely go to the sect personally to accept your inspection."

As they were speaking, a Storage Bag flew out into the air and headed towards the Star Raft Divine Ark.

Yun Cang narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and sent a gust of wind back to the Storage Bag.

"Yi Hong, don't try that on me. It seems you haven't grasped the current situation. I'm not discussing this with you, I'm giving you an order. I command you to drop everything and immediately come with me to the sect. If you disobey, don't blame me Yun Cang, for being ruthless."

A look of resentment flashed in Yi Hong's eyes, but looking at the Star Raft Divine Ark above his head, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction.

"I, Yi, will obey the Palace Master's orders. I hope Palace Master Yun will wait a moment while I shut down the refining furnace to prevent the spiritual fire from leaking out of control and burning down the refining room."

"You're wise to be pragmatic. Send the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from your island to the sect together."

"Yes!" Yi Hong replied.

He turned and flew towards the weapon-refining workshop on the island.

Yun Cang kept a close eye on Yi Hong's every move. If the other party made the slightest move, he would activate the Star-Splitting Void Formation to ensure that he would die without a burial place.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from the weapon-refining room.

Immediately afterwards, a pale white yin-attribute spiritual fire suddenly shot into the sky.

The spiritual fire spread rapidly, frantically devouring everything around it, and the entire weapon-refining room was instantly enveloped in flames.

Yi Hong's expression changed, and he quickly accelerated, rushing towards the island below.

At the same time, he made a series of hand Hand Seals, trying to control the rampaging spiritual fire.

Under Yi Hong's control, the fire was quickly brought under control.

A pale white Spirit Flame rose into the air and landed in Yi Hong's hand.

However, although the out-of-control spiritual fire only lasted for a short while, most of the weapon-refining room was destroyed.

Apart from two Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator whose bodies were burned black, everyone else in the Alchemy Chamber had been reduced to ashes by the Spirit Flame.

The two survivors, though they escaped unharmed, were seriously injured and were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

The entire Alchemy Chamber was in a mess, with wisps of smoke still rising from the ruins, and the towering weapon-refining furnace had fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Yi Hong's face turned extremely gloomy.

"What's going on? Why did the Shattered Star Bonefire in the refining furnace suddenly go berserk?" Yi Hong questioned the two surviving Foundation Establishment cultivators sharply.

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, who was in slightly better condition, endured the excruciating pain and replied.

"Reporting to Master, we don't know what happened either. At the time, we weren't in the room where the forging furnace was located, but in the room next door. We only heard the forging furnace suddenly overturn, and the Shattered Star Bonefire poured out instantly."

"Why would the refining furnace collapse for no reason?" Yi Hong gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.

"This disciple does not know either!"

The man seemed very afraid of his master, Yi Hong, and answered in a trembling voice.

"Hmph! Useless trash, you know nothing. What use are you to us?"

Perhaps out of anger, Yi Hong raised his hand and flicked his finger, sending out a burst of Law Power that instantly pierced through the skulls of the two men.

Seeing this scene, Yun Cang in the sky narrowed his eyes slightly and questioned in a cold tone.

"Yi Hong, what do you mean by this? Why did you kill everyone on your island? Are you worried they might reveal something, and are you deliberately destroying evidence?"

Yi Hong turned around and glared angrily at Yun Cang.

His Alchemy Chamber was destroyed, and his losses were considerable.

If Yun Cang hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted his weapon-forging process, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Therefore, Yi Hong harbored considerable resentment towards Yun Cang.

"Palace Master Yun, what evidence am I destroying?"

"Your disciples probably know something that could be detrimental to you. To Gai Zhen, you orchestrated this whole farce, deliberately letting the spiritual fire go out of control so you could kill them and silence them," Yun Cang said.

Yi Hong's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged.

"Yun Cang, although you are the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, you cannot speak recklessly."

"Whether it is or not, the Demon Lord and the Devil Master will decide. Yi Hong, surrender and come with me to the sect."

Yun Cang seemed convinced that he was involved in the deaths of Yi Hong, Pang Heng, and the others.

At the bow of the Star Raft Divine Ark, there is a hole with a diameter of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

A strong spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from the cave entrance, with strange runes flashing within, and a powerful pressure emanating from it.

Yi Hong sensed the terrifying energy emanating from the cave entrance, and a deep sense of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

His anger gradually dissipated.

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out from the ruins of the Alchemy Chamber.

The man was dressed in tattered clothes, his body charred black, and he looked extremely disheveled. He was clearly a survivor of the raging fire.
