In Blackfire City, Hei Xuan and Chu Kuangren formally met Yu Yan, one of the Eight Great Heresies.
Yet the moment Yu Yan saw Chu Kuangren, he struck. Overbearing black flames roared forth with unparalleled might, locking onto Chu Kuangren atop the dragon's head!
Chu Kuangren remained impassive. He formed a Sword Finger, the power of Dao laws surging at his fingertips.
He unleashed a sword strike, and the power of three thousand Dao laws howled forth.
Dao laws and black fire collided, and both sides were driven back.
Yu Yan gave Chu Kuangren a deeply surprised look.
Meanwhile, Hei Xuan roared, "Yu Yan, what are you doing?!"
"Hei Xuan, don't worry. I'll kill this man and set you free!" Yu Yan looked utterly loyal and righteous.
But Hei Xuan cursed him out. "Free, my ass! Do you know who he is? He's the Lord's trusted aide, and he holds the King Token. How dare you act so recklessly!"
Hearing this, Yu Yan grew even more surprised. "What? He's the holder of the King Token?"
He withdrew his black fire, walked up to Chu Kuangren, and cupped his hands. "The flood really has swept into the Dragon King's own temple. My fault, entirely my fault. I've offended you, brother."
At that, Chu Kuangren gave an indifferent smile. "Did you truly not know my identity?"
"I truly didn't. I saw you sitting on Hei Xuan's head, brother, and thought he was being coerced by you. In my anxiety, I struck."
Yu Yan spoke as though concern for his brother alone had made him so impulsive.
"Oh, is that so?"
Chu Kuangren smiled and asked nothing more.
"What's with all the talk? Yu Yan, we've traveled so far, and you're not even going to entertain us properly?" Hei Xuan sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
