Blazing Heaven Flame Palace That Wanted to Take Flight

Ying Xuanji immediately noticed the unusual nature of the Jade Slip at her waist.

A look of astonishment crossed her beautiful face. This red light was the highest level of intercontinental communication, and only the two hall masters and deputy hall masters in the Ziwei Hall were qualified to use it.

The handwriting appearing on the Jade Slip was that of her father Ying Potian.

Is someone trying to contact me?

Ying Xuanji frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.

I've only been in the Western Continent for two days, so it's unlikely I'm here to urge her to speed things up. What could be the reason?

Could it be that something unexpected happened to Fellow Daoist Ye...?

Ying Xuanji's heart stirred slightly, and then she raised her hand to answer the message.

"Star Lord Yingxing."

His father's familiar stern voice then came through. "I heard you are in the Western Continent assisting Elder Ye in contacting the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace. I imagine the process won't be too smooth."

"Therefore, I personally wrote a letter of recommendation, hoping it may be of some help to your trip."

"Furthermore, due to Elder Ye's personal reasons, the Five Continents War ended much faster than expected."

"He traveled from the royal city to your city in the Western Continent this morning. The letter is on him; you can deliver it to the higher-ups of the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace on his behalf."

His words, tinged with a sense of instruction, came to an end.

Holding the Communication Jade Slip, Ying Xuanji was momentarily stunned, "..."

The recommendation letter from the current Palace Master of the Ziwei Hall is indeed very weighty. After all, he is the strongest True Lord in the Divine Continent. Even Jiang Minghuang of the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace should give him some face.

But Fellow Daoist Ye is about to travel all the way from Central Continent?

"I just messed things up here..." Ying Xuanji's face was pale as she looked at the strange letter on the table and the charred arm lying in the center of the treasure mine on the ground.

A long-lost sense of crisis inevitably welled up in my heart.

In just two days, she not only failed to establish a good relationship with the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace, but also incurred their enmity by losing an elder's severed arm.

No wonder the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes!

The person involved already felt that they were about to be fired.

Ying Xuanji clenched her pale hands tightly, quickly stood up, and prepared to head to the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace again.

She wanted to see if she could improve the relationship between the two before Ye Li arrived.

Even if it means starting over, that would at least show that she won't hold the other person back as an assistant.

As for what the Flame Palace disciple said earlier... Ying Xuanji chose to ignore it for the time being.

As the Seventh Star Lord of the Ziwei Hall and the second youngest True Person of Divine Connection in the Supreme Pure Divine Continent, she was quite confident that she could extricate herself even if the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace really attacked her.

It's just that the price was rather high.

Time is of the essence!

Ying Xuanji quickly gathered up the letters on the table, but before she could collect the precious ore on the ground, the courtyard gate in the distance was pushed open again.

She immediately glanced to the side, then froze on the spot.

Am I too late?

Dressed in Baiyi, Ye Li casually glanced over the gleaming 60,000 jin of spirit ore in the courtyard. When he saw the charred severed arm, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He withdrew his gaze, quickly passed through the main pavilion, and finally stopped not far in front of Ying Xuanji.

Ye Li took out a well-sealed letter from his pocket and handed it to Ying Xuanji: "It's a letter from your father. He asked me to give it to you."

Since advancing to the True Monarch of Creation Realm, Ye Li's biggest feeling has been the absurdly large gap between his Magic Power and true qi.

It's like upgrading from a slingshot to a cannon, from wood chips to fine steel.

Consequently, his many techniques powered by true qi were also greatly enhanced.

For example, the initial level of [Golden Firmament Rainbow Transformation].

Even without any extra Malice Points to upgrade it, Ye Li's current speed is dozens of times faster than when he was at the peak of the Divine Connection Realm.

Long-distance raids, such as those from the Central Continent Royal City to the fiery county of the Western Continent.

Even with the suppression of the ancestral star's Laws, teleporting at full speed would only take a short two hours.

"... Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Ying Xuanji took the letter, and although she tried her best to calm the shock rising in her heart, her voice still trembled slightly. "It's not too late, you've come just in time."

In fact, the other side arrived far too quickly!

She was so overwhelmed that she didn't know how to explain the current situation to the other person.

The fact that they had gone to such lengths to facilitate this connection made Ying Xuanji feel utterly ashamed.

"That's fine."

Unfortunately, after settling into a chair, Ye Li still asked the same question, "What's the situation with the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace?"

For the first time ever, his tone carried a hint of nervousness.

Thinking of Ye Li's usual calm and composed demeanor, Ying Xuanji's heart pounded faster and faster, and she even felt a kind of suffocating discomfort.

It's over.

It seems that what Palace Master Jiang possesses is truly important to Fellow Daoist Ye...

Ying Xuanji slowly sat back in her chair. At this moment, she deeply regretted not going all in yesterday. If she had added the remaining 20,000 jin of Essence of Departing Fire, perhaps that Divine Phoenix True Monarch would have changed his mind.

But there's no going back in life.

She could only close her eyes and reply with a deep breath, "The situation isn't good."

"Fellow Daoist Ye should also know that the Western Continent was forcibly breached by the True Lord Tengshe resided in the Hidden Dragon Abyss in its early years. Not only was the local prefectural magistrate killed on the spot, but even a Divine Connection Realm True Person who rushed to the aid of the Western Continent's border had his Dharma Body torn apart by that Demon Lord."

"That Divine Connection Realm True Person is none other than Jiang Minghuang's biological younger sister, and their relationship..."

"I know all that," Ye Li said, raising his hand to interrupt her.

"Lord Star Lord, if possible, Trouble start by describing the recent situation."

He had already read about this somewhat tragic history of the Western Continent in the materials compiled by Chu Qiming.

There's really no need to taste it again.

It's understandable that Jiang Minghuang would hold a grudge against the Western Continent Heavenly Supervision Department and that True Lord Tengshe... but this is a matter between her and the Western Continent government.

What does this have to do with me?

He had come to Trouble for True Lord Tengshe.

Therefore, all forces within the Divine Continent must cooperate with his actions, including even the Palace Master of the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace.

If anyone is unwilling to cooperate, Ye Li won't bother explaining those trivial principles.

"Shall we start with the most recent ones...?"

Upon hearing the other party's request, Ying Xuanji couldn't help but grit her teeth. "No problem!"

She took a deep breath, finally steeled herself, and continued directly:

"In short, because of what happened back then, Palace Master Jiang made it clear long ago that she would not see anyone from the Heavenly Supervision Department, the Demon Suppression Department, or the Ziwei Hall, without exception."

"I originally planned to exchange 80,000 jin of the Essence of Departing Fire for the opportunity to meet, and an elder of the Flame Palace agreed to the deal."

"But the situation changed again this morning."

She turned to look at the charred, severed arm on the ground and said, "This severed arm... comes from the Flame Palace Elder who agreed to the deal with me."

"In addition, that Palace Master Jiang also returned the 60,000 Essence of Departing Fire that I sent over yesterday."

At this point, Ying Xuanji's tone became somewhat bitter.

Is that all?

After listening quietly, Ye Li did not choose to react on the spot. Instead, he frowned slightly and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"... To be honest, there's one more thing."

Having opened her mouth, Ying Xuanji became bolder in her speech, even displaying a somewhat reckless attitude. "That Palace Master Jiang forbids me from stepping into the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace again, and this morning she sent a letter to me and the Western Continent Director of the Celestial Observatory."

Although she knew that saying this would only make the other person feel resentful, Ying Xuanji still felt that being honest was more appropriate than deceiving or hiding anything.

Perhaps this will make Fellow Daoist Ye back down...

Ying Xuanji glanced at Ye Li, only to find the White-robed Youth's eyes growing brighter. "Where's the letter? Let me see it."

She opened her mouth, wondering if she had said something wrong in her haste.

But in the end, he handed the envelope, which he could feel burning hot even through the seal, directly to the other party.

Splash--

Ye Li quickly unfolded the envelope, and then his brows relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Pack up."

Under Ying Xuanji's astonished gaze.

The Baiyi Star Lord stood up abruptly, his indifferent voice carrying an undeniable authority, which made the former's Dao Heart tremble:

"Today we will storm the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace."

Ying Xuanji: "Nice to meet you. I am the Seventh Star Lord of the Ziwei Hall."
