Golden Crow Flame
The Guo Household is one of the top ten powers in the Demon Domain, and their strongest ability is fire control.
He had some grudges with the most powerful person in the Guo Household back then, and only after the other party admitted his mistake did he give the Guo Household a way out.
Not long after Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei left the Demon Willow Academy, they stood on a cloud, looking down at the Guo Household below.
The Guo Household's territory was vast, and at its very center stood a mountain range, its fiery red color blazing like flames.
The entire mountain range appears to have been forged from solidified magma, with ridges as sharp as blades and surfaces covered in layers of red crystals that refract a dazzling golden-red light under the sunlight.
Twisted heat waves constantly rose from the mountain's surface, making the entire mountain look like a raging inferno from afar, even distorting the air itself from the heat.
In the depression at the center of the mountain range, magma was like a boiling pool of blood, churning with dark red lava, and occasionally spewing out pillars of fire several meters high, which exploded into streams of fire in mid-air.
Even more astonishingly, a fiery red flame could be faintly seen swirling atop the mountain, sometimes transforming into a golden crow with outstretched wings, and sometimes swimming like a crimson dragon, radiating a terrifying pressure.
That was the "Golden Crow Flame," the foremost of the Five Elements Divergent Flame, which the Guo Household had worshipped for generations!
Even from thousands of feet above, one can still feel the intense heat that can incinerate everything.
The entire mountain range looked exactly like the Flaming Mountain from the TV series Lu Qing'an had watched in his previous life.
The two figures flashed and landed in a grand hall of the Guo Household in the blink of an eye.
There was no one around the main hall.
He calmly stated, "If all the high-ranking members fail to arrive within ten breaths, the Guo Household will cease to exist in the Demon Domain."
The sound waves rolled outwards.
The next moment.
All the Great Emperor Realm experts in the Guo Household who were in seclusion suddenly opened their eyes wide.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, they all shuddered violently.
That sound is!!!
Swish swish swish swish swish!
One after another, figures flew and landed in front of the main hall at extremely fast speed.
When they looked inside, Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei were sitting together, holding hands, waiting quietly.
The leader was an elderly man with waist-length white hair, dressed in a fiery red outfit. The moment his deep eyes saw Lu Qing'an, his pupils contracted to pinpoints.
Broken!!!
It's that god of death!!!
"Heh heh, old man, it's been years. Your cultivation aura has grown quite a bit stronger." Lu Qing'an looked at the red-robed elder at the head of the group and smiled.
Guo Yan's face twitched violently upon hearing Lu Qing'an's words, but he had no choice but to quickly put on a fawning, almost humble smile and jog forward.
"Even the strongest isn't as strong as one of your little fingers!! Eternal Night Demon Emperor, what brings you to our Guo Household?"
He feels like crying right now.
Who dared to provoke this killing machine?!
When Lu Qing'an became active again in the Demon Domain, Lu Qing'an, who was in seclusion, heard the news and immediately stopped his seclusion. He gathered all the high-ranking members and talented juniors and gave them a stern warning, telling them to keep a low profile as much as possible in the near future.
Whenever you encounter a handsome man, or even a seemingly unremarkable man—basically, any man—you absolutely must not offend him, no matter what he looks like!
Just bear with it!
But how long has it been?! How did this god of death arrive?!
Could it be that some junior member disobeyed him and truly offended this god of death?!
At that moment, his heart was pounding wildly.
My lifespan is less than 30,000 years left, can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?
"If you younger generation had your awareness, I wouldn't have come here. What a pity." Lu Qing'an didn't waste any words. His purpose in coming here was very simple.
It wasn't simply because Guo Yanbin had offended his daughter. It was a fight between juniors, and his daughter had won. He didn't care about such a trivial matter.
But the Guo Household has something he wants!
Sure enough, his adopted daughter, Sun Minzi, obtained the power of the Fire God’s Contract, which requires the Five Elements Fire.
Guo Yan felt like dying.
I knew it was the younger generation who caused the trouble!!!
The sky is falling!!!
Guo Yan stared intently at the group of people behind him, wondering who was so foolish as to have provoked this killing god. He gritted his teeth, and with two thuds, he knelt down on the ground decisively.
"No matter which junior it is, it's my fault for neglecting their upbringing!! Tell me! What do you want me to do? I'll do whatever you say!!"
Whoever it is!
Admit your mistake right away!
He risked everything for the sake of his entire Lineage. Wow!
Lu Qing'an blinked as he watched the old man kneel down so readily.
They're not playing by my rules!
"Why aren't you kneeling down right now?!"
The next moment, Guo Yan turned around quickly and glared at the group of junior Great Emperor Realm cultivators who were stunned in place behind him.
I'm your ancestor! I've already knelt down, and you won't? Are you just going to laugh at me?!
Moreover, kneeling down might give the Lineage a chance to survive!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Everyone present realized what was happening, lowered their heads, and knelt down.
Lu Qing'an pursed his lips.
Why are there no people with backbone here?
You've all knelt down, how can I continue to swindle you out of your Divergent Flame?
If Guo Yan knew what Lu Qing'an was thinking, he would roll his eyes to the top of his head.
Anyone who has any backbone in front of you is long dead!
Last time when he faced Lu Qing'an, there was a man next to him who had backbone and Qi Ingestion to admit defeat. He only said one harsh word before his head rolled to the ground!
"You don't even know who offended me, what good will kneeling do?" Lu Qing'an said coldly.
"Tell me! I'll definitely punish him severely!!" Guo Yan said with a mournful face.
"Aren't these two geniuses from your Guo Household?"
Lu Qing'an ejected a Demonic Qi, which entered Guo Yan's forehead.
Guo Yan saw Guo Zhipeng and Guo Yanbin in the video and felt like dying.
So the trouble started at the academy!
Wasn't the instruction to tell these two young men to be more discreet and to treat men of similar age, regardless of their level of cultivation, with respect?
This guy is so disobedient!!!
"Yes... yes..." Guo Yan really wanted to cry.
Could they be dead?
Hey!
These two lads are geniuses that the Guo Household might only see once in a million years!
"If they have offended you, then do whatever you want with them! Our Guo Household has no such unfilial sons and grandsons!!!" Guo Yan said through gritted teeth.
"They didn't offend me, they just disgusted my daughter," Lu Qing'an said calmly.
Guo Yan: "..."
Damn it! That was a miscalculation!!!
You have a daughter?!
He really wanted to cry.
Who would have thought you had a daughter?!
"You should know my temper well. I'm a man with a strong desire to kill, but you know, we have some kind of friendship, so after thinking about it, I decided not to kill them." Lu Qing'an smiled at Guo Yan, as if to say that they were good friends.
Guo Yan: "..."
There's still a bond between us...
Because we have a relationship, you let me stand up when I knelt down!
He only dared to grumble to himself.
Having lived to this age and survived in the Demon Domain for so many years, he naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Qing'an's words immediately.
The reason Lu Qing'an didn't kill Guo Yanbin and Guo Zhipeng is probably because it wasn't a matter of absolute certainty. Besides, it seems Lu Qing'an wants something from them.
He immediately figured out the answer.
The most important treasure of the Guo Household is that Divergent Flame...
"I, I... I'll give you the Golden Crow Flame, maybe that will calm you down a bit?" Guo Yan really wanted to cry, and said pitifully.
"Isn't that inappropriate?" Lu Qing'an smiled.
Seeing Lu Qing'an smile, Guo Yan knew he had guessed correctly and quickly said, "What's wrong with that! That's wonderful!!!"
