Sweeping Through While Laying Cards on the Table

"Senior, you..."

Xiao Li was taken aback, and then felt a strange power spreading from his chest, instantly filling his entire body.

A similar force gathered in the surrounding air, merging into his flesh and bones, causing his muscles and skin to tense and relax suddenly, resulting in a slight change. His strength surged, and his aura suddenly improved!

"Did you hear what my senior brother said? Quickly submit! We've only been here for an hour, and we've already subdued many sects. You..." Feng Zhantian's junior brother immediately jumped out, swaggering Feng Zhantian.

Within the Zhou Rao Continent, there is a lack of genuine human connection between people. Only when powerful forces are used to intimidate others, instilling fear and dread, can cultivators experience the emotional connection between people. This is the most intoxicating aspect, satisfying the needs of the State of Mind and relieving the frustrations of cultivation. Therefore, many people will follow this trend.

However, before he could finish speaking and before his thoughts could even form, he was interrupted by a loud explosion!

The sound came suddenly, and as soon as it appeared, it caused the surrounding airflow to churn, as if being fanned by a giant fan. The turbulent waves spread out, forming a gale that scattered in all directions!

The speaker was taken aback, and looked in the direction of the sound and the wind, only to see Xiao Li shining with light!

"You... you seem to be the disciple who led the Three Sages Dao this time, right? What's your name again, Xiao..." The man was quite knowledgeable and had a good memory. Although he didn't cultivate his inner strength and his mind wasn't clear enough to remember everything he saw, he was still better than ordinary people. He had only heard of him once and he already had an impression of him.

"Xiao Li!"

Feng Zhantian uttered a name, then smiled calmly, "You seem to be trying to rebel against me? Discretion is the better part of valor. We're both trapped here today, so it's only fair..."

Whoosh!

Before he could finish speaking, a beam of light shot out from Xiao Li's body; it was a flame condensed to its maximum intensity. It scorched the air itself, and at incredible speed, it reached Feng Zhantian in the blink of an eye!

However, facing this beam of light, Feng Zhantian merely gave a faint sneer and shook his head slightly, seemingly unconcerned. Immediately afterward, two objects flew out from his body, from which voices emanated.

"This time it's my turn to make the difference!"

"No! You were the one who took care of things last time, it's my turn this time!"

The voice was childlike, like a child's, but as soon as it came out, everyone behind Feng Zhantian felt reassured. Ziyun and the others, however, had a sudden change in expression, recalling some rumors.

"A magical Law Treasure?"

To everyone's astonishment, the beam of light arrived as expected, passing effortlessly through the two figures and striking Feng Zhantian. His smile froze on his face, his eyes widening in disbelief, followed by a roar, "Impossible! This is impossible!"

Before he could finish speaking, the man burst into flames with a "bang," the heat emanating from him revealing an unimaginable aura of danger. The few people gathered around him instinctively moved away, exposing Feng Zhantian to the sky.

Amidst a series of wails, Feng Zhantian fell from the sky, crashing into the grass. The flowers and plants, ignited by the flames, also burst into flames, spreading medicinal properties and incense Votive Thoughts. The fire quickly spread!

A faint fragrance of medicine wafted from the flames, spreading outwards and reaching everyone's noses. It jolted them back to their senses.

Then, they all widened their eyes and looked at Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, you..." Ziyun's lips parted, her face also showing surprise.

Little did they know, Xiao Li, who was the center of attention, was equally shocked. However, a power he had never seen before calmed his mind, allowing him to conceal his surprise. Even so, he was still deeply disturbed.

"A single beam of light was fired, yet it could ignore the magical Law Treasure, and even caused False Core, who had condensed his Feng Zhantian, to be engulfed in flames and fall to the ground in an instant, his fate unknown!"

Qiu Yan's voice rang in his mind at just the right moment, bringing Xiao Li back to his senses. "Don't be stunned. I can't rely on you for too long, otherwise it will affect your recovery and your physique. If you don't want to be controlled by others on this plain, you'd better seize this moment, stabilize the situation, and take the lead!"

"Dominance!" This thought flashed through Xiao Li's mind, making him suddenly realize what was most important right now.

"If it truly remains within the Broken Lotus Valley, isolated from the outside world, a relatively closed space, then we absolutely cannot allow people from other sects to act recklessly, after all, this place..."

His gaze shifted, sweeping across the grass out of the corner of his eye. Then, he focused his mind, channeling the strange power within him. An external will slowly interfered with his mind, igniting a fighting spirit within him and giving rise to a feeling of omnipotence!

Boom!

Flames erupted on his body but did not scorch the grass. With a sudden wave of his hand, the flames that had enveloped Feng Zhantian flew back and condensed in Xiao Li's hand. He looked up.

The crowd that had come with the Feng Zhantian was enveloped by this gaze, and immediately erupted into chaos, disregarding everything else and scattering in all directions!

Bang!

With a deafening roar and a burst of air, Xiao Li his spot. The ground where he had been standing rippled violently, like waves on water, with the soil and grass undulating like ocean waves, forcing Ziyun and the two Three Sages Sect to retreat hastily in shock!

Call!

The wind was like a knife, stabbing sharply, causing the three to close their eyes. But when they opened them again, the first thing they saw was a series of figures falling from the sky!

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the twenty-odd people who had come with Feng Zhantian had fallen. The rest originally wanted to escape, but as soon as the sword light moved and before they could even finish forming the hand seals, Xiao Li rushed over, his body generating air currents and flames. The fire spread out, sealing off the four directions and cutting off their path.

Flames filled the sky, and behind Xiao Li, a distorted and shifting light and shadow materialized.

He wore a robe, his hair was like fire, his hands Hand Seals, his four arms were outstretched, he was imposing and commanding, and his palms moved in Eight Directions.

"What is that?" Ziyun's heart stirred as she looked at the blurry light and shadow, but when she focused her attention again, the flames had already dispersed, the light and shadow were gone, and the remaining people had all fallen, their bodies ablaze with flames. They rolled and struggled in the grass, some even using water Technique Method, but to no avail. The fire not only did not subside, but instead spread among the flowers and grass.

As these plants burned, they emitted strange phenomena. In addition to the medicinal power being activated, they also contained the People's Wishes. These wishes were enveloped and captured by the Divine Sense mixed in with the flames, and a trace of them was extracted. The next moment, the Divine Sense shrank slightly, making Qiu Yan's mind gradually clear.

The next moment, the flames on Xiao Li's body surged again, and he lunged to the side!

There hangs a seal and a ring there.

The two objects swayed precariously, emanating a strange aura. Upon seeing Xiao Li rushing towards them, they cried out in alarm and flew away in different directions.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With two whooshing sounds, the seal and the ring flew over the heads of Ziyun and the others, causing their hair to flutter, and in the blink of an eye they became black dots on the horizon!

"This..." Before the three could even sigh, Xiao Li transformed into a fireball and roared after them. Their hair, which had been fluttering in the wind, dried instantly, and Xiao Li reached the horizon.

At the horizon, a series of flames burst forth, appearing from afar like a pearl necklace emerging one after another.

Rumble!

The muffled thunderous sound returned after a few breaths, but Xiao Li had already returned riding on flames, holding an object in each hand—a seal and a ring!

The surfaces of the two objects were covered with a layer of silvery luster, remaining motionless and silent, like inanimate objects.

Ziyun and the other two stared wide-eyed, silently watching Xiao Li land.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

All around, the fire Sea of Fire, engulfing incredibly precious flowers and plants, comparable to rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The howling heat finally roused Ziyun from her reverie. Looking at the approaching flames, she cried out to Xiao Li, "Junior Brother Xiao! Although we don't know what happened, if the fire isn't controlled..."

Halfway through his sentence, the surrounding flames suddenly gathered, dragging across the ground like a carpet, converging at Xiao Li's feet and continuously engulfing his body.

In the blink of an eye, all the Heavenly Fire were absorbed, and Xiao Li was completely transformed into a human torch, with astonishing heat. Even several feet away, Ziyun could still feel the burning sensation on her skin, which was extremely rare for a cultivator like her who Seven Souls Manifestation, demonstrating just how high the temperature was.

Retreating hastily to escape the heat's reach, Ziyun was still shaken, but she felt worried and doubtful about Xiao Li was deep in the center of the flames.

"Without a doubt, this power far surpasses the Third Realm. What earth-shattering secret is Junior Brother Xiao hiding?"

To her surprise, the heat suddenly dissipated, and the flames that had Xiao Li's entire body slowly receded, revealing his body again, with no damage to his clothes or flesh.

The flames finally condensed into a single spark on his chest and vanished. With the flames gone, Xiao Li's face turned pale, and he staggered, clearly very weak.

However, neither Ziyun nor the two disciples of the Three Sages Sect would harbor any strange thoughts because of this, as the chaotic battle just now had truly terrified them.

Looking around, one could see figures lying on the ground, all barely breathing. The surrounding grass was bare, exposing the soil.

After calming his breathing slightly, Xiao Li recalled what had happened, looking at the two Law Treasure he held in his hands with a sense of nostalgia and a touch of reluctance.

"Is this the power of a powerful cultivator?"

On the other side, Divine Sense emanated from the soil—

"Although there was quite a commotion, you've managed to bring the situation under control. Now, have the cultivator you've chosen wake up the others and bring them over."

Qiu Yan replied, "Now that things have come to this, don't try to deceive me with sweet words. Just state your purpose directly. Otherwise, you won't be able to let it go so easily just because you used these medicinal powers and fragrances to erode my Divine Sense!"

"Hmm?" The Divine Sense was surprised upon hearing this. It remained silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't expect you to have discovered it. So that's how it is. Just now, you used divine power to spread the fire with this cultivator. It was a deliberate act to secretly investigate the true nature of the People's Wishes."

"Same to you."
