In the face of Lu Xuan's questioning gaze, Nangong Lie didn't hide anything and told him everything. After all, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. In order to withstand Ma Yuan's self-destruction, he had already revealed his true strength.
It was precisely because Nangong Lie had a way to hide his strength that Nangong Lie assumed that Lu Xuan also had a way to hide his strength. Nangong Lie firmly believed in this.
Hearing Nangong Lie's explanation, Lu Xuan revealed an indisputable smile. Of course, he couldn't deny that he didn't hide his strength. However, in Nangong Lie's eyes, his smile seemed a little mysterious.
"I didn't expect Brother Nangong to be so powerful. It seems like the Nangong Family has been hiding their strength all this time?" Lu Xuan asked.
Nangong Lie smiled faintly. "Being in a dangerous situation, of course we have to be careful. At least in the eyes of the Sikong Family, the Nangong Family isn't much of a threat. Naturally, they won't be in a hurry to deal with us."
Lu Xuan nodded and praised in his heart. The Nangong Family was indeed thoughtful and prepared for this. Nangong Lie was only the third master of the Nangong Family, but he already had the strength of the Eighth Stage of the Grand Void Realm. It was likely that the strongest expert in the Nangong Family had already reached the Ninth or Tenth Stage of the Grand Void Realm and was only a step away from the Transcendence Realm.
If the Jiuhua Alliance could ally with the Nangong Family, they would have such a powerful ally. The Jiuhua Alliance's leader, Ye Wuheng, would definitely be very happy.
At this moment, Nangong Lie looked at Lu Xuan and laughed again. "Although I have hidden my strength, I only hid it by two stages. Brother Lu, you are even worse than me. You actually pretended to be a disciple of the Origin Realm and almost fooled me. I guess you have been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger these days. Even Dong Ruyi was defeated by you."
Lu Xuan smiled, "I didn't pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. But let's not talk about this for now. There are some people here that brother Nangong needs to deal with."
The two of them turned their gazes to the disciples of the Ma family and the Fang family at the same time. Fang Siyuan and Ma Yuan had died one after the other, so the disciples were all trembling in fear. They wanted to run, but they did not have the guts to. Faced with Nangong Lie and Lu Xuan, who were each stronger than the last, they could only hope that Nangong Lie would spare their lives on account that they were all from the Sacred Hall of Eight Directions.
"Third Master, Third Master, Nangong Huai and I are best friends. I hope that Third Master will give A 'Huai face and spare my life. I'll definitely follow the Nangong Clan's lead in the future," said a Fang Clan disciple with a trembling voice.
"Lord San, Nangong Yunxi and I fell in love at first sight, and we're planning to get married. From now on, I'll be a member of the Nangong Clan. Lord San might not trust others, but you must trust me!"
"San …"
The disciples of the Fang and Ma clans spoke up one after another. They hurriedly tried to befriend the Nangong family. At that moment, it seemed like all of them were related to the Nangong family, and they were all closer than the last.
Nangong Lie remained unmoved by their attempts to befriend the Nangong family. Most of these people's relationships with the Nangong family were not real. Some had intentionally befriended the clansmen of the Nangong family in order to find out the truth about the Nangong family, while others had taken the initiative to befriend the Nangong family in order to find out what the Sikong family was thinking.
Perhaps some of them were purely friends, but Nangong Lie would definitely not spare any of them because of such a small matter. Once he failed, the price he would have to pay would be the lives of all the clansmen of the Nangong family!
Nangong Lie's cold gaze swept past the crowd, and they immediately fell silent. They waited nervously for Nangong Lie's verdict. However, at that moment, Nangong Lie raised his right hand. Boundless fire origin energy condensed. He had already used his actions to express his choice.
"Run!"
"Everyone, run!"
"Scatter and leave!"
… …
Seeing that Nangong Lie did not hesitate to kill them, the group of disciples instantly panicked. They roared and scattered in all directions. No one was willing to sit there and wait for death.
However, Nangong Lie's strength was at the eighth level of the Great Void Realm. Facing a group of Origin Realm disciples, his attack was like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. A huge ball of flame condensed in the sky and suddenly blasted down. Fireballs shot out in all directions, aiming at the escaping disciples. Some of them ran with all their might, but they could not outrun the fireballs. Some of them turned around to block, but they did not have the strength to do so.
In less than two breaths' time, over a dozen corpses were scattered all over the place, without any signs of life. Nangong Lie didn't even have to deal with the aftermath. All of them were killed by the flames, which was normal in this land of flames.
Lu Xuan secretly nodded in his heart. He somewhat admired Nangong Lie's decisiveness in killing. However, it was also the right choice. A martial artist must have the courage to kill, not the desire to kill. When it was time to kill, one must not be lenient. Previously, because he did not kill Zheng Qiwei decisively, he almost died in the hands of Dong Ruyi.
At this moment, a rumbling sound was heard, as if many huge creatures were advancing in this direction. Nangong Lie could not help but change his expression slightly. In this Land of Fire, only the Flame Demons could make such a sound. Furthermore, it was definitely not just one Flame Demon, but a large group of Flame Demons!
He had fought with the Flame Demons for a long time, so he had a deep understanding of these creatures. Although they seemed very clumsy, their bodies were extremely tough. If they were surrounded and attacked by countless Flame Demons, even he would have a headache.
"Brother Lu, it seems that we have to fight side by side." Nangong Lie said in a deep voice.
Lu Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Nangong, there is no need to panic."
Hearing this, Nangong Lie's eyes were filled with bewilderment. He did not know what Lu Xuan meant.
But very soon, he understood. Under Nangong Lie's cautious gaze, the Flame Demons appeared one after another. These Flame Demons did not attack, but stood not far in front of Lu Xuan.
"Huo Li, can you take these toys and leave this place?" Lu Xuan asked through his mind. He had naturally asked Huo Li to gather these Fire Demons.
"Hmm … I can't. Their energy mainly comes from the Flame Energy here. Once they leave, it will not take long for their energy to be exhausted and they will collapse." Huo Li said after thinking for a while.
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. This was a pity. If he could lead such a large group of Flame Demons, what would he have to fear in this sealed land?
"Then let them collapse on their own. We cannot waste so many Flame Crystals." Lu Xuan said.
"No problem." Huo Li agreed readily. These Flame Demons were created by him to see the outside world. Now that he had broken free, there was no need for them to exist. Since Lu Xuan liked the Flame Crystals among the Flame Demons, he would give them to Lu Xuan.
Under Nangong Lie's shocked gaze, the Flame Demons suddenly collapsed on their own. The lava stones that formed their bodies scattered in all directions, leaving behind batches of Flame Crystals.
"This …" Nangong Lie was almost speechless. Although Lu Xuan did not do anything, he was sure that all of this was caused by Lu Xuan.
How terrifying was Lu Xuan's strength? Could it be that these Flame Demons were created by Lu Xuan himself?
"Little Tanuki, go and collect those Flame Crystals." Lu Xuan ordered Little Tanuki on his shoulder.
"Alrighty!" Little Tanuki replied cheerfully. She held a storage ring in her mouth and rushed out. Her speed was extremely fast as she shuttled between the Flame Crystals. Wherever she passed, the Flame Crystals were all collected into her storage ring.
Little Tanuki's speed was extremely fast. She was simply the most suitable person to clean up the battlefield. Soon, all the scattered Flame Crystals were collected by her. She happily handed the storage ring to Lu Xuan. At the same time, she did not forget to say, "Xuan, I feel that I can also eat this. Remember to leave some for me."
Lu Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard that. Could it be that Little Tanuki was also talented in the fire attribute? The Flame Crystals contained an extremely dense fire attribute energy. If he fed them to Little Tanuki, who knows what effect it would have.
Looking at how Lu Xuan had collected so many Flame Crystals in an instant, Nangong Lie couldn't help letting out a bitter smile. "Brother Lu, I really admire you. I have spent a great deal of effort to travel through the lava and kill the Flame Demons to obtain the Flame Crystals. I'm afraid that it's not even a tenth of what you have obtained."
