Even though the Ming Kingdom was ruled by the Everlasting Academy, there were still several forces of various sizes. The Raging Fire Sect was the most powerful force in the Ming Kingdom apart from the Everlasting Academy.
The Raging Fire Sect was located at the western border of the Ming Kingdom, in the middle of a vast desert. The scorching sun shone down and hot air rose into the air. At first glance, it was as if one was standing in a raging fire.
Even though the Raging Fire Sect was located in a harsh terrain, it was actually not. The desert contained a strange energy. Cultivating here could bring unexpected results. This was also the reason why the Raging Fire Sect was built here.
Inside the Raging Fire Sect, there was a spacious area where the elders of the sect held lectures. Even though today was not the day of the lectures, there were still nearly a thousand disciples gathered here.
They were pointing and discussing. Everything revolved around the man in the Everlasting Academy's Taoist robe, who was suspended in the air at the center of the square.
This person was none other than Xing Jue. Right now, Xing Jue's daoist robe was already in tatters, and his body was covered in wounds. There were bloody whip marks, burn marks from scalding objects, and even various blade marks.
His entire body was covered in cuts and bruises and his face was ruined. However, Xing Jue was still breathing. Though he could not open his eyes, he could faintly hear the discussions around him.
"What's going on? Judging from his robe, he seems to be a disciple of the Everlasting Academy. Isn't the elder afraid of the Everlasting Academy's revenge by beating up a disciple of the Everlasting Academy like this? "
"There's something you don't know. Although the Limitless Institute is powerful in the Ming Kingdom, our Raging Fire Sect is not weak either. I heard that this disciple of the Limitless Institute stole an elder's treasure and refused to return it. The reason why the elder did this was to show off his power and let everyone know that even if it's a disciple of the Limitless Institute, if he dares to disrespect the Raging Fire Sect, he will have to pay a painful price!"
"Looks like this kid really did something infuriating. To be able to steal the treasure from the Elder, he is not a simple person. He deserves to end up like this!"
"Actually, I don't think what you said is the main point. The main point is that the Raging Fire Sect has already disregarded the Everlasting Academy's authority. It is obvious that the Raging Fire Sect is now strong enough to challenge the Everlasting Academy."
"That's right. When we were eliminated by the Everlasting Academy and came to the Raging Fire Sect, we felt quite wronged. Now that I think about it, it was a blessing in disguise."
"That's right, the Raging Flame Sect isn't any weaker than the Everlasting Institute. Since the Everlasting Institute is too arrogant and strict in accepting disciples, more and more talented disciples join the Raging Flame Sect."
"Currently, the Raging Flame Gate is already showing signs of surpassing the Limitless Academy. Perhaps very soon, the Ming Country will change owners, and it will be our Raging Flame Gate that has the final say."
"Yes, yes, yes, I think so too. From the fact that the elder dared to expose the disciples of the Everlasting Academy to the public, we can see that the Raging Fire Sect is not afraid of the Everlasting Academy at all!"
The disciples of the Raging Inferno Sect looked at the executioner, who was on his last breath, and discussed among themselves. They had actually found a balance point. They even felt that the Raging Inferno Sect no longer cared about the Everlasting Academy and would soon become the ruler of the Ming Nation.
The Fire Sect's disciples looked at the dying Xing Jue and discussed among themselves. They had actually found a balance point. They even felt that the Raging Fire Sect did not care about the Everlasting Academy and would soon become the ruler of the Kingdom of Ming.
"First Elder, the Sect Leader is still in seclusion. It would be bad if the Wuji Institute found out about this and came to attack us!" One of the old men who was over fifty years old said in a worried tone.
"What are you afraid of? The Raging Fire Sect is thousands of miles away from the Everlasting Academy. How could this matter reach the Everlasting Academy's ears?"
"Furthermore, the Everlasting Academy's disciples don't even have communication talismans to contact the Elders. Many disciples from the Outer Academy die outside every year, but the Everlasting Academy doesn't care about it at all."
"Today, exposing the Everlasting Academy's disciple to the public will increase our disciples' trust and loyalty. This will have a very good effect on the future development of the Raging Fire Sect." The white-haired Elder did not care about it. Instead, he was complacent.
It had been three days since Xing Jue had saved Lin Shishi. After two days of torture and interrogation, Xing Jue had not said a word. Furthermore, he had searched Xing Jue's body but could not find anything that could hide Lin Shishi. Especially the ring on Xing Jue's index finger, which was even more tattered.
That day, after personally seeing Lin Shishi swallow the enormous immortal herb seed into her stomach, the current elder was almost certain that Xing Jue also possessed that strange ability.
After all, Xing Jue could even create a clone. Therefore, the Elder was prepared to cut open Xing Jue's intestines and dig Lin Shishi out from Xing Jue's body.
"How dare the Raging Fire Sect!"
However, right at this moment, a thunderous roar that resounded through the heavens and earth suddenly rolled over from the east.
This sound attracted the attention of everyone in the Raging Fire Sect. When everyone looked to the east, they could not help but be shocked.
In the east, a large patch of purple light appeared and was rapidly approaching. In an instant, countless rays of purple light fell into the Raging Fire Sect like a storm.
At this moment, the entire Raging Fire Sect was silent. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of the wind in the desert and the sound of people swallowing their saliva.
The arrogant and bragging disciples of the Raging Fire Sect were terrified. They were completely terrified.
Because when they looked at the hundreds of figures standing in the air, they could not help but be afraid. They were the Elders and disciples of the Everlasting Academy, the number one power in the Ming Kingdom.
The aura they emitted was so strong that it almost suffocated the disciples of the Raging Fire Sect. None of them were in the realm of Asura. The weakest were in the realm of Asura Martial Masters.
If it was just one, it would be fine. However, when over a hundred Asura Martial Masters gathered together, their aura could be imagined. To the Raging Fire Sect, which only had a dozen or so Asura Martial Masters, it was an existence that they could not fight against.
Besides, the two elders in the lead were like bottomless pits. No one could see through their strength. Even the Raging Fire Sect's First Elder was the same.
This time, the Everlasting Academy sent out a hundred outstanding disciples from the Central Academy and over twenty elders from the Elder's Hall. Such a powerful formation was enough to sweep through the entire Ming Kingdom.
Besides, the leaders of this formation were famous throughout the entire Ming Kingdom. They were Elder Ouyang and Elder Zhongli of the Everlasting Academy's Four Great Elders.
"Xing Jue, where's Shishi?"
After Elder Ouyang appeared, he did not care about the reactions of the people from the Raging Fire Sect. Instead, he directly arrived in front of Xing Jue, removed the Spirit Formation chains that bound him, and asked with a face full of nervousness.
The reason why they appeared here was because they received Lin Shishi's call for help. One had to know that Lin Shishi was the headmaster's daughter. Yet, Xing Jue was heavily injured and Lin Shishi was nowhere to be seen. How could Elder Ouyang not be nervous?
Not only him, the other elders behind him also had faces full of nervousness. As elders of the Everlasting Academy, they were not even able to protect the headmaster's daughter. In the future, when the headmaster comes out of seclusion, he will definitely punish them heavily.
Hearing Elder Ouyang's voice, Xing Jue struggled to open his eyes. When he saw that the person in front of him was indeed Elder Ouyang, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of Xing Jue's mouth.
* buzz *
Quickly after, Xing Jue used all of his remaining power and merged it into the Soul-devouring. With a flash of light, Lin Shishi's figure appeared.
"Xing Jue! Xing Jue! "
When Lin Shishi appeared and saw Xing Jue lying in Elder Ouyang's arms, her tears fell like rain.
She quickly snatched Xing Jue from Elder Ouyang's hands and took out a purple elixir with a faint glow. She placed it in Xing Jue's mouth and began to carefully treat Xing Jue's injuries.
Looking at Lin Shishi, whose body was unharmed, then looking at her tortured body that was covered in cuts and bruises, even her face had been disfigured, Elder Ouyang's deep eyes finally released a boundless killing intent that he had been enduring for a long time.
Because, based on his shrewd and ruthless experience, he already knew that it was Xing Jue who had risked his life to protect Lin Shishi. Not to mention that Elder Ouyang looked extremely favorably upon Xing Jue, merely Xing Jue's spirit of risking his life to protect Lin Shishi caused him to be extremely moved.
As an elder of the Everlasting Institute, Elder Ouyang's anger had reached its peak. Now that a disciple like this had been abused by the Raging Fire Gate, Elder Ouyang was furious.
* boom *
Suddenly, Elder Ouyang struck out with his palm. Somewhere in the square was smashed into pieces. At the same time, several figures were shot out and fell to the ground. These people were the elders of the Raging Fire Gate.
However, regardless of whether it was the First Elder of the Raging Fire Gate or the Second Elder, their faces were currently completely pale. Large mouthfuls of blood continuously flowed from their mouths. They could not even block a single attack from Elder Ouyang. Some of them even lost all signs of life and were killed by Elder Ouyang.
"phew ~"
Looking at the scene before them, the disciples of the Raging Fire Gate were instantly dumbfounded. As disciples of the Raging Fire Gate, they naturally recognized their elders.
But when they saw with their own eyes these elders that could be called sacred in their eyes being injured by Elder Ouyang with a single palm strike, all their hopes were turned to dust, and they knew that a calamity was imminent.
"I was wondering who it was that could display such power."
However, at that moment, an old man's voice came from the depths of the Raging Fire Gate. "It's Elder Ouyang and Elder Zhongli from the Everlasting Institute!"
Then, a ray of purple light shot out and arrived in the sky. When the disciples of the Raging Fire Gate saw who it was, the fear on their faces instantly lessened. This was because it was the Sect Leader of the Raging Fire Gate.
"Hmph, Sect Leader of the Raging Fire Gate, how dare you kidnap the disciples of the Everlasting Institute and torture them. Do you really think that there's no one in the Everlasting Institute who can stop you?"
When the Sect Leader of the Raging Fire Gate appeared, Elder Ouyang only snorted coldly and then shouted angrily. He didn't give any face at all.
"This …"
When the Sect Leader of the Raging Fire Gate saw Xing Jue who was covered in wounds, he also knew what had happened. He couldn't help but panic.
Although he didn't know who Xing Jue was, he knew that Xing Jue's identity was definitely not simple since he was able to lure Elder Ouyang and Elder Zhongli out. This time, the Raging Fire Gate had probably offended someone they shouldn't have.
"Elder Ouyang, this is my mistake. Once I find out who did it, I will definitely give the Everlasting Institute a satisfactory explanation!" The Sect Leader of the Raging Fire Gate bowed respectfully to Elder Ouyang with an apologetic expression.
Seeing their Sect Leader being so respectful to an elder of the Everlasting Institute and even bowing respectfully, the disciples of the Raging Fire Gate felt the most uncomfortable.
At that moment, they realized that they had been too arrogant before. The Raging Fire Gate had only captured a disciple of the Everlasting Institute and they already thought that the Raging Fire Gate was invincible in the Ming Kingdom. They even thought that they could replace the Everlasting Institute.
But now, they knew that they were wrong. They couldn't be more wrong. In front of the true experts of the Everlasting Institute, the Raging Fire Gate was so insignificant.
Even the strongest Sect Master felt the same way. However, this was still considered good. When they heard Elder Ouyang's reply, they were completely dumbfounded.
"No need!"
"Because there's no need for the Raging Fire Gate to exist anymore."
"Disciples of the Everlasting Institute, listen to my command. Follow me and destroy the Raging Fire Gate. Leave no one alive!"
Elder Ouyang gave the order, and the elders and disciples of the Everlasting Sect rose to their feet.
In an instant, the Raging Fire Gate was engulfed in flames and screams could be heard everywhere. The screams of the disciples of the Raging Fire Gate and the sound of buildings collapsing could be heard everywhere.
After half an hour, when the people of the Everlasting Institute left, the once glorious Raging Fire Gate had turned into a wasteland. Corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river.
However, in the eyes of the Raging Fire Clan's disciples that were still open, the words' died with everlasting regret 'were engraved on them. Because even until their deaths, they still couldn't understand why the Raging Fire Clan would be annihilated just because they captured a branch disciple of the Everlasting Academy!
However, the culprit of this disaster was already dismembered. As the elders of the Raging Fire Gate, they became the focus of the disciples of the Everlasting Institute. The ones who died the most miserably were none other than them.
