After emerging from the Flame Ruins God King's Palace, the Fire Saint called Lu Qingshan to sit down beside a mountain path.
Their identity tokens now all contain an additional task.
The task level is Class A.
For the Eternal True God, this is already a very high-level task, and of course, the reward for the task is also extremely generous: ten million contribution points.
Ten million contribution points equals ten million Cosmic Sand. Even if Lu Qingshan and Fire Saint split it equally, it would still amount to five million Cosmic Sand.
For the Chaos Great Sage, this was a considerable fortune; only the God King Sect, with its deep pockets, could afford to provide it.
Of course, such a high reward also indicates that this task is not simple. For most Eternal True God, it is a hellish difficulty, with an extremely high probability of death.
"I just gathered some information, and the situation in Scarlet Fire Chaos Prefecture is more serious than I imagined—"
The Fire Saint frowned, his previous carefree demeanor gone.
He continued.
"It seems that the Netherworld Sect is determined to take over the Scarlet Fire Chaos Prefecture. They have dispatched many elite troops there, and many border cities of the Scarlet Fire Chaos Prefecture have already fallen. Currently, the defensive forces are mainly concentrated in Lihuo City, a main city near the border. However, according to the information I have received, even Lihuo City is in a bad situation. They can only huddle in the city and rely on formations for protection. If Lihuo City falls, then the Scarlet Fire Chaos Prefecture will have no power to resist."
Lu Qingshan and Fire Saint's mission was to provide support. Their Flame Ruins Sect had descended upon the Scarlet Fire Chaos Prefecture, which had been invaded by the Netherworld Sect and was in grave danger.
Soon, Lu Qingshan and Fire Saint were the reinforcements sent by the Flame Ruins Sect.
In the Origin Continent, the Chaos Saint was already the ruler of a province, and he rarely fought unless it involved life or death.
After all, there are very few Chaos Great Sage. Even God King respect Chaos Great Sage. Even if they lose their territory, as long as they join the forces of other God King, they can still receive rewards from the Chaos Prefecture.
Therefore, in ordinary wars, the Eternal True God are the main force. Chaos Great Sage will not participate in the battles between Eternal True God, otherwise it would be breaking the rules, which would be condemned and damage their reputation. Therefore, powerful Eternal True God are highly valued even by the rulers of a country, and they will be granted national titles.
For example, the Duan Donghe back then. Wu----
The Eternal True God is so insignificant in the eyes of the God King, yet the God King values him so highly that he personally bestows upon him a royal surname. This is because the powerful Eternal True God can play an irreplaceable role in many areas.
"It's alright, everything will be resolved once we get there."
Lu Qingshan spoke calmly.
He also checked the news from the Scarlet Fire Chaos Prefecture. Although it might not be as accurate as the information from the Fire Saint, he knew that this war was a battlefield for the Eternal True God, and the Chaos Great Sage would not participate. As long as the Chaos Great Sage did not take action, there was naturally nothing to worry about.
His strength is now vastly different from what it was when he first Origin Continent; it's incomparable to what it was when he first came here.
Not only did he create a sword technique that Eternal True God Limit, but his divine body also grew from tens of millions of kilometers to more than 20 billion kilometers, far exceeding the limit of 3.6 billion kilometers of the Infinite Divine Body at the Eternal True God stage.
Moreover, Lu Qingshan also possesses the Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure, the Wings of Time and Space, and the Chaos Golden Wings. His will has also been elevated to the Peak Eternal True God stage. It can be said that he now has no weaknesses at the Eternal True God stage.
" Xue You, you're too confident. It's not that simple—our Flame Ruins Sect is God King Sect, and so is the Netherworld Sect. The Netherworld Sect has many powerful Eternal True God, and its personal disciples are far superior to the Netherworld Sect's Qu Guang. If the Netherworld Sect sends a personal disciple, we'll be in serious trouble."
"Aren't you also a direct disciple? What are you afraid of?"
Lu Qingshan smiled.
Fire Saint scratched his head and said, "You know perfectly well that I got this position as a direct disciple through connections. I was accepted as a disciple by my teacher back in the Universe Ocean. If it were within the sect, my strength would be slightly inferior to that of a direct disciple, only a tiny bit Qu Guang than Qu Guang. Besides, I've been a direct disciple for so long, and I haven't even participated in the direct disciple assessment yet. And here I am, taking the assessment with you—"
Lu Qingshan glanced at Fire Saint with some surprise, not expecting this guy to have some self-awareness.
It seems that those who can become Eternal True God are not simple.
Don't worry, I've got everything covered.
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
"Good."
Fire Saint knew that Xue You was stronger than him, so he nodded and said, "Then this time, you'll be in charge of providing support to Scarlet Fire Chaos Prefecture. However, no matter what, don't underestimate your opponents. Even if the mission fails, there will be other opportunities. Your own safety is the most important thing."
want."
"I know."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"When shall we depart?" Fire Saint asked.
"There's no time to lose; let's leave tomorrow."
"Alright, let's get there as soon as possible. If we go too late, the situation there might be even worse."
The next day, Lu Qingshan and Fire Saint boarded a flaming flying boat and left the Flame Ruins Sect, heading towards the Scarlet Fire Chaos Prefecture. The flying boat streaked across the dark red sky, leaving a trail of red Flowing Light, and moved at an extremely fast speed.
The Fire Saint has already made contact with Lihuo City and is currently analyzing the situation there.
Lu Qingshan stood on the deck, gazing at the ever-changing world in the distance, and slowly closed his eyes.
His consciousness was completely immersed in his understanding of the Destruction Origin.
He has already analyzed part of the content of the first of the Ghost Annihilation Eighteen Blades and created the strongest secret technique to date. The first sword Slash Annihilation is very powerful, as it can transform the user into an aura of destruction, and with one strike, all things Return to the Ruins.
However, since it was a newly created secret technique, Lu Qingshan rarely used it. If he were to fight against an Eternal True God like Qu Guang, he would naturally be powerless.
There's nothing to worry about; a single strike is enough to kill. But if facing a top-tier Eternal True God like a direct disciple of the Flame Ruins Sect, one needs to be even more skilled. In battles between true powerhouses, a slight difference can lead to a world of difference.
Unable to actually practice, Lu Qingshan could only mentally rehearse the move, striving for its ultimate perfection.
Several days later, the Flame Airship arrived at Lihuo City.
This is a huge city standing on the wasteland, much larger than Lanhuang City and very similar in size to Nanyun City. However, it is very desolate at the moment. The city gates are closed and the city walls are obviously damaged. The mechanical legion guarding the city walls is on high alert, and the atmosphere is very tense and oppressive.
"Arrive."
The Fire Saint retracted his flying boat and landed outside the city gate.
On the city walls of Lihuo City, the Lihuo City Lord, accompanied by several core experts, is currently welcoming them.
Upon seeing the two arrive, they did not immediately activate the formation, but instead asked, "Are you the true disciples of Fire Saint and Xue You?"
"It's us!"
The Fire Saint retrieved his identity token.
Lu Qingshan also took out his identity token.
The Flame Ruins Sect's identity token is unique and a symbol of identity. If someone is not the holder of the token, they cannot activate it. If someone can activate the token, it naturally means that it is not an imposter.
"Welcome, two true disciples. Open the formation."
After verifying their identities, the Lihuo City Lord dared not delay and immediately deactivated the formation. Lu Qingshan and Fire Saint exchanged a glance and flew into the city.
After they entered, the formation immediately reactivated, and multicolored light completely enveloped the entire city.
On the city wall, Lu Qingshan and Fire Saint also saw the crowd that had come to greet them.
The one at the very front, whose aura was somewhat weak, was the city Eternal True God of Lihuo City. He was also an inner disciple of the Flame Ruins Sect and was at the Eternal True God Tenth Stage realm.
Beside him were several other Eternal True God, all bearing the insignia of the Flame Ruins Sect disciples.
There are over a hundred Eternal True God remaining in Lihuo City. The arrival of Lu Qingshan and the Fire Saint is still a secret for now, and the others are unaware of it.
These hundreds of Eternal True God Eternal True God include some who were originally from Lihuo City, and others who retreated from other fallen cities. Moreover, they all have deep ties with the Flame Ruins Sect. If it weren't for their duties or for their own interests, they would have left long ago. Why would they remain in Lihuo City?
"Lord Qin Chuan, are you injured?"
Fire Saint glanced at the Lihuo City Lord.
"I was accidentally injured, which would have been quite troublesome, but with the arrival of these two true disciples, my troubles are nothing."
"What's going on? Qin Chuan, you were one of the best inner disciples in your sect. Did the Netherworld Sect send a personal disciple as well? Otherwise, how could you have gotten injured?"
The Fire Saint frowned slightly.
The Lihuo City Lord shook his head and said, " The Netherworld Sect has the advantage, so naturally they didn't send any personal disciples. However, the Netherworld Sect has an Eternal True God named Demonic Hand Divine Lord, who is extremely powerful and possesses an extremely powerful Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure. Relying on that Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure, his strength is ridiculously high. Last time, when I fought him, I was caught off guard and was hit by his Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure, so I was injured."
The Lihuo City Lord took out a Memory Stone.
It contains footage of that war.
Lu Qingshan and Fire Saint both read it once.
"Indeed impressive—that Mechanical Flow Treasure is a rare glove-shaped Mechanical Flow Treasure; it must be incredibly valuable."
"Yes, I was lucky to survive that battle. That's why we had to hold Lihuo City and dared not venture out rashly."
Qin Chuan sighed.
He was once an inner disciple of the Flame Ruins Sect. Although he was transferred to the main city as the city lord and lost his inner disciple status, his strength remained, and he was still an absolute elite of the Flame Ruins Sect. However, he was no match for an inner disciple of the Netherworld Sect, so he was naturally in a bad mood.
He continued, "However, if we hold Lihuo City to the death, the Netherworld Sect can't do anything about it unless they bypass Lihuo City and continue to encroach on other places. But if they do that, it's like handing their backs to us. Our Flame Ruins Sect can send powerful experts to support us at any time. For example, the two disciples came today. If they abandon this place, it will definitely be very troublesome."
" The Netherworld Sect has just been waiting idly?"
The Fire Saint frowned and asked.
"Of course they won't just sit idly by," City Lord Qin Chuan said, shaking his head. "Although we sealed off the city in time, the Netherworld Sect had already sent powerful figures to infiltrate Lihuo City beforehand. Those guys are like rats in a gutter, constantly harassing us within the city. Several Eternal True God have fallen at their hands."
What is their purpose?
The Fire Saint asked again.
"Naturally, it's the array node diagram of Lihuo City. If they master the array node diagram of Lihuo City, they will have a chance to break through here. Of course, I also know how important that thing is, so I destroyed all the records in time. When the array was set up, it was the sect's experts who came to set it up, so they naturally couldn't know the original records. Over the years, I have been very careful in maintaining the array, never letting any array master have too much contact with it, so they are destined to waste their efforts."
The city lord of Qin Chuan answered honestly.
Although Lu Qingshan and Fire Saint's arrival was to provide support, it was essentially like an imperial envoy from the sect. After their arrival, he was no longer the primary person in charge, but became the third person in charge.
"Unable to obtain the array node diagram, do they have any other countermeasures?"
The Fire Saint then asked.
"Have!"
Qin Chuan nodded. "After realizing that obtaining the array node diagrams of Li Huo City was a pipe dream, they changed their tactics, assassinating the array masters within Lihuo City. Just a few days ago, Master Yu, the most powerful array master in Lihuo City, was murdered in his own home. They want to kill most of the array masters in Lihuo City, Lihuo City's arrays unattended and unmaintained, thus Lihuo City's defenses vulnerable."
Self-destruction.
He paused, then continued, "After learning of their plot, I invited all the array masters to the city lord's mansion. Currently, apart from Master Yu, all the other array masters are safe."
"You handled it very quickly."
Fire Saint nodded, then glanced at Xue You.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly. The situation in Lihuo City looked bad, but it hadn't reached the worst level he could imagine.
He asked, "Has Master Yu's body been disposed of?"
"Knowing that the two true disciples had arrived, I did not order anyone to deal with them," Qin Chuan replied immediately.
"Take us to see it."
Lu Qingshan said.
A moment later, they arrived at Master Yu's cave. Deep inside the cave, in the place of seclusion, a corpse lay quietly on the ground, its chest pierced by a small hole that precisely penetrated Master Yu's True God Heart.
"One hit kill----"
Master Yu had no other wounds, indicating that his opponent killed him with a single move.
" Master Yu was a formation master hired by our city lord's mansion. He was always the one who maintained the formations in Lihuo City when they had problems. I never expected this..." Qin Chuan sighed. He and Master Yu were very good friends. Now that he saw his old friend had passed away, he was filled with emotion.
"After Master Yu's fall, we searched the city several times to find the traitor, but a powerful Eternal True God is hard to find if he wants to hide. I'm also at a loss and can only wait for him to make another move, which might expose him."
Upon hearing this, Fire Saint glanced at Xue You Xue You, who was still examining the corpse, and asked, "Have you figured anything out?"
"I've figured some things out, at least I have a certain understanding of the murderer's methods. City Lord Qin Chuan, now I need your cooperation to find the spies in this city."
Lu Qingshan turned and glanced at the Lihuo City Lord.
How to cooperate?
In order to avenge his friend, Qin Chuan was naturally willing to cooperate fully.
"Don't tell the other Eternal True God about our arrival for now. Then, temporarily disable the concealment formations of all the caves within the city. I will check them one by one. As long as he is still in Lihuo City, I will naturally be able to find him."
Lu Qingshan spoke calmly.
"Alright, let's act now. If we're too late, the news of your arrival might already be out." The Lihuo City Lord nodded.
