Demon Fire Emerges

"Double Moon Same Sky, Nine Stars One Body, the Heaven and Earth Tide, and Demon Fire Descends to World."

Two crescent moons, one above the other, quietly appeared. At the same instant, nine brilliant stars slowly moved, finally merging into a straight line...

A strange energy fluctuation arose between heaven and earth, and endless Energy Mist spread out, with the faint sound of tides seeming to echo in one's ears.

As Xiao Han gazed at the magnificent scene on the distant horizon, a flash of amazement crossed his eyes. Even though he had already learned about the strange phenomena that occurred when the Purification Lotus Demon Fire was reborn from ancient books, he still could not maintain his inner peace.

"The demonic flame has appeared; I should go out and take a look."

Xiao Han twisted his seemingly rusty body, a surge of excitement welling up in his heart. As he spoke, his palm erupted with Dou Qi, and a beam of energy several meters in diameter burst forth above Langya Pavilion.

Before long, the group of people who were prepared appeared in front of Xiao Han.

"What, are you setting off now to fight for the Purification Lotus Demon Fire?" Yi Huang's elegant face rarely showed such intense anticipation, clearly indicating her great curiosity about the legendary Purification Lotus Demon Fire, which was said to be able to Purify All Things.

Xiao Han nodded, then turned to the two silent ancestors and said, "I suppose the ancestors are not unfamiliar with that Purification Lotus Demon Fire."

"Han has already informed us of our target this time. We'll leave Xiao Yan to our ancestors to take care of."

Both of them nodded solemnly. A thousand years ago, when the Purification Lotus Demon Fire was born, they had witnessed its terrifying strength. If the Xiao Clan hadn't been in a crisis of Bloodline Exhaustion at that time, they would have also witnessed its splendor. Now, however, they had the opportunity.

"And what about you?" Yi Huang Xiao Han with her beautiful eyes, her gaze unblinking, and asked suspiciously, "Don't tell me you don't want to go and see."

The competition for the Purification Lotus Demon Fire is destined to be fierce, with powerful figures from various Ancient Sects and Ancient Races sending their strongest warriors. Such a spectacular scene is extremely rare and holds immense appeal for Xiao Han.

Xiao Han looked up towards the northwest, his gaze seemingly piercing through space to see the powerful figure in the Endless Void.

"My battlefield isn't in the Demon Fire Space!"

He then smiled gently, "Don't worry, I'll be there to support you."

The Purification Lotus Demon Fire is, after all, one of the top three Exotic Fire. Even though stronger individuals cannot compete for it due to the rules, there are still quite a few people watching the Purification Lotus Demon Fire to make sure it doesn't cause any trouble.

"Let's set off now!" Xiao Han said. "This time, Langya Pavilion only needs to send a few of us."

"Hmm." The others silently agreed. Quality over quantity is the key to victory Purification Lotus Demon Fire is terrifying, and no matter how many ordinary people there are, they will only provide the enemy with more Fire Slave.

"I'll go ahead and meet those guys." As soon as Xiao Han finished speaking, he left behind a slowly dissipating afterimage.

Then...

"Our ancestors, let's go too," Yi Huang said with a smile.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

"Stop!"

There were many figures flashing past in the vast world at this time, causing bursts of wind. However, Xiao Han didn't care at all about these so-called strong men who didn't even have Dou Sheng cultivation. The only figures in the sky that really caught his attention were some figures in the sky.

The journey of a thousand miles may seem long, but for Xiao Han, it is merely a distance that can be traversed in a few thoughts.

"Buzz!"

With a soft sound, Xiao Han's figure slowly emerged from a Hidden Space above the Demon Fire Space.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Han felt many probing gazes directed at him, but he was already used to it.

Looking around and noticing several familiar figures, Xiao Han couldn't help but flash a "warm" smile. "Elder Gu Dao, how have we been?"

Gu Dao's expression stiffened. If he had a choice, he would absolutely not want to see this guy hanging around in front of him.

However, since things had come to this point, Gu Dao had no choice but to put on a friendly smile and greet him, "Ice Saint, it's been a long time."

Xiao Han turned his gaze to the other three, one of whom was a figure shrouded in a black robe, who was undoubtedly the Soul Clan Member who had committed countless despicable acts.

Xiao Han ignored it expressionlessly; otherwise, he feared he might have been unable to resist killing the other person.

There was also a bewitching woman with flame patterns on her forehead. Noticing Xiao Han's gaze, she gave him a charming smile. Xiao Han was momentarily stunned, but quickly broke free.

"So that's how it is, the Fire Spirit Fairy?" Xiao Han understood. The only Flame Tribe who could make him lose his senses was the Fire Spirit Fairy had cultivated the Charm Technique.

Fire Spirit Fairy was slightly surprised to find that Xiao Han had easily broken free from her Charm Technique, but Xiao Han didn't care.

"This is..." Xiao Han looked at the last person, an ordinary old man wearing a linen robe, his face covered with wrinkles, his eyes narrowed to slits, making it impossible to tell whether he was awake or asleep.

Although the old man exuded an unremarkable aura, he posed a far greater threat to Xiao Han than anyone else. Those who couldn't reach his level were probably on par with Jiang Yu.

"The Ice Saint?" Just then, the old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming as he carefully examined Xiao Han. "An outstanding junior. It seems I have a worthy successor."

"Huh?" Several question marks popped up above Xiao Han's head. Someone has a successor? Is he related to this old man?

"This is Old Man Tianyun." Suddenly, Gu Dao's explanation reached Xiao Han's ears.

"Old Man Tianyun was a famous Rogue Cultivator Expert in Central Plains thousands of years ago. In terms of seniority, even the Clan Leader had to show him the respect due to a junior."

"At the same time..." Gu Dao paused for a moment, then continued, "He is also the upholder of the agreement between Central Plains and our Ancient Races."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han was stunned. He had thought that the so-called agreement was the result of mutual restraint between Ancient Races, but he never expected that there would actually be a powerful figure in the Central Plains who could have an equal dialogue with the Ancient Races.

Perhaps it was thanks to Old Man Tianyun's protection that the Ancient Races did not act too recklessly in the Central Plains.

Xiao Han couldn't help but feel a deep respect for this old man. The old man's strength was enough to allow him to live a carefree life, yet he had guarded Central Plains for thousands of years without fail, which was truly admirable.

However, he also had some mixed feelings. If this person knew his true identity, perhaps he wouldn't think this way.

At the same time, Xiao Han also felt a little regretful. According to his observation, Old Man Tianyun is now nearing the end of his life and has at most a few decades left. In a few more years, he may not even have the ability to fight anymore.

In a flash, Xiao Han stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This junior greets Senior Tianyun."

Old Man Tianyun nodded calmly, "Once the matter of the Purification Lotus Demon Fire is settled, I have something to say to you."

"Then I will trouble you to give me your guidance, senior."

Just then, the Demon Fire Space changed again, and the void trembled.

"Peng~"

Suddenly, as the space contracted again, a milky white halo burst forth from it, and the terrifying heat instantly turned the already broken mountain range into a thousand miles of scorched earth, presenting a milky white desert before everyone's eyes.

"That beast is up to his old tricks again."

Upon seeing this, Gu Dao frowned deeply. The power of the Purification Lotus Demon Fire had clearly been restored. At its peak, even Gu Dao, Seven-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage expert, found it quite troublesome.

The scorching heat distorted the space around them, even affecting the hiding place of Xiao Han and the others.

"This is really troublesome." Xiao Han frowned. This kind of environment was the place he, an ice-attribute cultivator, hated the most.

"Oh?" Xiao Han's expression suddenly turned slightly serious, and he said with great interest:

"The person has arrived."
