Hellfire Hall.
In the gloomy and dry hall, a cold and gloomy face was reflected under the flickering candlelight.
Not long after, a Hellfire Hall cultivator strode into the hall and knelt on one knee. Cupping his fists, he said, "Master, Uncle Yu and the seven Void Reversion senior brothers have been found. They …"
"They're all dead, right?"
The Master of Hellfire Hall said faintly, as though he was not surprised.
It was already noon. If Uncle Yu and the others were not back yet, it meant that the assassination attempt had failed!
However, he could not figure it out.
According to the information sent by the spies of Hundred Refinement Sect, Nangong Ling's group headed to Wind Cloud City without any Dharma Characteristic experts following them.
How did Uncle Yu fail this time round?
A name appeared in the mind of the Master of Hellfire Hall – Mo Ling.
He frowned.
That was impossible!
According to reliable sources, Mo Ling was only at the Nascent Soul realm and could not threaten Uncle Yu and the others!
"Bring the corpses up,"
The Hall Master of Hellfire Hall calmed himself down and said.
A few Hellfire Hall cultivators carried the eight corpses into the hall and placed them on the ground carefully before retreating slowly.
The Master of Hellfire Hall walked down the platform and arrived beside the eight corpses with a focused gaze.
"His lifespan is depleted?"
The Master of Hellfire Hall frowned.
What happened to cause Uncle Yu's lifespan to be depleted and he died?
This was way too strange of a death!
It could not be that Uncle Yu released some method to deplete his lifespan on his own accord.
The Master of Hellfire Hall swept his gaze and his pupils constricted slightly when he saw the other seven corpses.
The wounds on the seven corpses were simple!
Their glabella was either pierced or their heads were smashed – there were no additional wounds on their bodies!
They died cleanly!
"Hmm?"
The Master of Hellfire Hall sniffed and his expression changed slightly, as though he had discovered something.
"Master, what's wrong?"
The cultivator standing in front was the number one weapon refinement genius of Hellfire Hall, Ming Han who was about to compete with Hundred Refinement Sect for weapon refinement!
"There's remnant demonic qi,"
The Master of Hellfire Hall pondered for a moment. "What a domineering demonic qi!"
Ming Han frowned and asked, "Could Uncle Yu and the others have encountered an accident and were attacked by high-level fiend demons?"
"It's possible."
However, the Hellfire Hall Master soon shook his head. "That's not right! If they were attacked by high-level fiendish demons, those four juniors wouldn't have survived. Why are their corpses missing? "
Right then, a Hellfire Hall disciple sped over from outside and knelt on the ground. He said respectfully, "Hall Master, Hundred Refinement Sect's spies have sent news that Nangong Ling and the other three have returned safely to Hundred Refinement Sect!"
The face of the Hellfire Hall Master darkened as two balls of netherworld flames burned in his eyes with killing intent.
The Hellfire Hall disciple lowered his head and trembled, not daring to speak.
A long time later, the flames in the eyes of the Master of Hellfire Hall gradually subsided as he waved his hand. "You may leave!"
The Hellfire Hall disciples retreated rapidly as though they had been pardoned.
"Master, you don't have to worry."
Ming Han said proudly, "The Thousand Crane Tea Party will be in a month's time. At that time, I'll definitely defeat Yoo Han-yeon and clear the name of Hellfire Hall!"
"Yes."
The Hellfire Hall Master nodded. "As long as you win this weapon refinement battle, there will be super sects that will step in for you!"
"At that time, many factions will add fuel to the fire. In front of everyone, Hundred Refinement Sect's reputation will fall and it will definitely be removed from the four unorthodox groups!"
"Don't worry, master."
Ming Han said confidently, "Yoo Han-yeon won't be able to win!"
The Hellfire Hall Master smiled sinisterly and narrowed his eyes, saying coldly, "Hundred Refinement Sect, let's see how you're going to win this round!"
…
After this experience, Nangong Ling and the other two were completely silent.
The Thousand Crane Tea Party would be in a month's time.
Under Dao Lord Scarlet Star's urging, the three of them entered seclusion.
Su Zimo had some peace as well. Apart from comprehending the Heaven Slaying Sword Art every day, he would attempt to condense an immortal Dao fire and practice the fire-elemental Dharmic arts that Hokkaidōjin imparted to him.
Right now, he had already cultivated a Buddhist Dao fire.
Although the Buddhist Dao fire condensed from the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra was already extraordinary, it was still no match for top-tier Dharmic arts.
If he could condense another Dao fire …
Even if he could condense two Samadhi Dao fires, their power would increase tremendously!
Now that he had returned to the cultivation world, it was not convenient for him to reveal the methods of the demons.
Therefore, it was extremely important for him to master as many fire-elemental Dharmic arts as possible to increase his combat strength!
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
This day, Su Zimo sat cross-legged in his cave abode with his eyes closed. A golden flame floated beside him and spun slowly around him.
His hands were naturally placed on his knees with his palms facing the sky as he conjured hand seals continuously.
Failure!
Reassembly.
Failure again.
Reassembly again!
He had experienced countless failures.
All of a sudden!
There was a snap of his fingers.
A scarlet flame appeared on Su Zimo's fingertip.
Initially, it flickered as though it would be extinguished by a gust of wind!
Before long, the small flame stabilized.
"The immortal Dao fire is done!"
Su Zimo was delighted when he looked at the scarlet flame. He smiled gently and flicked his fingertip gently.
This cluster of crimson flames floated in front of him, circling around his body one after the other with the golden flames.
This move was also a fire-elemental Dharmic art known as the Scarlet Flame Revolving Lantern.
With the two balls of flames revolving around him, he could attack and defend. Any enemy that tried to approach would be burned by the flames!
"Little Granduncle-Master, Little Granduncle-Master, open the door!"
Right then, there was a knock on the door.
With a single thought from Su Zimo, the two balls of flames dissipated into the void. Thereafter, the door of the cave abode opened slowly, as though it was pulled by a pair of invisible hands.
Ru Xuan skipped in.
Following closely behind were Nangong Ling and Yoo Han-yeon.
The three of them did not change much after a month.
However, Yoo Han-yeon looked even more composed, as though she was prepared.
"Little Granduncle-Master, let's go. You're the only one who can stay obediently in the cave abode. The cultivators outside can't wait any longer."
Ru Xuan said, "The Thousand Crane Tea Party is about to begin. Our Hundred Refinement Sect will set off today!"
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart rippled.
This day had finally arrived.
After a hundred years, he could finally see those old friends again.
If nothing went wrong, he would be able to see Ji Chengtian and Leng Rou at the Thousand Crane Tea Party this time round.
The three of them had joined Misty Peak together and experienced too many things.
There was also Xiaoning and Night Spirit.
He wondered how they were doing after a hundred years.
Of course, there was one more person!
A cold glint flashed through Su Zimo's eyes before disappearing quickly.
Di Yin!
All the Nascent Soul paragons of the Middle Continent would gather at the Thousand Crane Tea Party this time round. Su Zimo believed that Di Yin would definitely not miss this event!
If he bumped into Di Yin at the Thousand Crane Tea Party, he would definitely find an opportunity to kill the latter on the spot!
Of course, a hundred years had passed.
He had grown rapidly and his combat strength had increased rapidly.
Di Yin would definitely not remain stagnant either!
Su Zimo was filled with anticipation as he muttered internally, "Di Yin, I believe you won't disappoint me!"
