In the night sky, a golden rainbow flew over from the west side of the city like lightning.
Whoosh!
The sky above Qing Luan City seemed to be torn in half by the golden rainbow.
Suddenly, the golden rainbow stopped in front of Ma Jianjiang. Strands of dazzling golden light intertwined and turned into a tall and sturdy old man.
The old man wore the loose robe of the Tongtian Trading Company. The company's unique seven-colored staircase was embroidered on his chest.
"Ma Jianjiang! Did the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist' really appear in Qing Luan City? " His eyes were as big as copper bells, shining with a golden brilliance. His voice was like a bell, "You know very well that some things can't be said carelessly!"
"Greetings, Lord Jin!"
The deacon of the company cupped his hands in greeting, then pointed at Yu Yuan and introduced, "He is Yu Yuan, Yu Yuan of Anyue City!"
"The god of plague of Anyue City?" The golden-eyed old man was stunned.
Yu Yuan was slightly embarrassed and nodded with a wry smile.
"Yu Yuan, this is the person in charge of our company in Qing Luan City, Lord Jin Xiaolie." Ma Jianjiang also introduced the old man's identity to Yu Yuan, "Although Lord Jin is the person in charge of Qing Luan City, he rarely interferes. Most of the time, he will only use force to solve problems when the company is in trouble. "
"I don't know much about things like business, spirit materials and pills." Jin Xiaolie said casually, "I only know how to fight and kill."
The moment the golden rainbow flew over, Yu Yuan deduced that the old man called Jin Xiaolie should be at the late stage of the Soul Wander Realm.
The Chen Family of Qing Luan Empire would also set their own rules. They would not allow overly powerful forces to stay in the city for long periods of time.
The Soul Wander Realm was the limit of the Chen Family's tolerance.
Jin Xiaolie cultivated in Qing Luan City with his late stage Soul Wander Realm cultivation, looking for an opportunity to break through the realm and condense the Sun Spirit. Every time the company encountered a problem, he would be responsible for solving it.
For example, right now.
"Is it really the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist'?" Jin Xiaolie shouted.
It was because the moment he arrived, his soul remembrance had already spread out, noticing that in the various regions of the city, Chen Family's people were leading Green Luan Empire's soldiers to burn corpses.
Not only that, but they also killed cultivators and clan members who had inhaled the purple smoke on the spot.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Liu Ying, who had locked onto Yu Yuan with her Meteor Eyes, also used the high speed of the artifact to fly to the branch of the Chamber of Commerce together with Yu Yuan and Jin Xiaolie.
"Yu Yuan, is it really the 'Burning Soul Underworld Mist' that caused the chaos in Azure Luan City?"
Liu Ying cried out in alarm the moment the lightning descended. As she spoke, her lips trembled slightly, showing that she was extremely terrified in her heart.
That was the Burning Soul Nether Mist!
"It can't be wrong." Yu Yuan nodded heavily.
"The cultivators of the Primal Yang Sect, the Spirit Void Sect, the Lightning Sect, and the Frigid Yin Sect, the survivors of the Heavenly Evil Sect, the Juling School, and some juniors of the Devil's Palace have gathered together and charged out of the city." Liu Ying's small, white hand pointed lightly in the direction of the southern part of the city. "The elders of the other sects can't stop the Chen Family's people."
"Is it because they learned that the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist' has already spread through Azure Luan City?" Yu Yuan asked.
"Yes." Liu Ying nodded. "After they learned that it was the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist,' they panicked. In their eyes, the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist' is even more terrifying and dangerous than the 'Dark Abyss Dust Mist' outside the city. They'd rather face the demons, ghouls, and visitors from outer realms than die to the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist.' "
"What should we do, Lord Jin?" Ma Jianjiang asked.
The cultivators in Azure Luan City were divided into two factions. One faction wanted to defend the city, while the other faction had already chosen to risk their lives and leave the city because of the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist'.
As he asked these questions, more members of the Chamber of Commerce arrived from different parts of the city.
"The 'Burning Soul Nether Mist'!"
Jin Xiaolie pulled at his hair and frowned. He couldn't make up his mind immediately.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
WHOOSH! Suddenly, wisps of fiendish aura were attracted by the Fiendish Demon Cauldron and floated over from the distant Cloud Lake Street, where the seven lower sect Dao arenas were located.
After the newly born fiendish aura entered the Fiendish Demon Cauldron, its aura became pure and quickly condensed into mindless, chaotic fiendish spirits.
The Cauldron Soul suddenly became excited.
It immediately told Yu Yuan that although the souls of the cultivators who died because of the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist' were ignited as fuel, during the process of their souls burning, their attachment to the world, their resentment, anger, and coldness towards their enemies in this life madly surged and expanded!
All of this was extremely important to the fiendish aura.
"Condensing fiendish aura requires all kinds of negative emotions. It doesn't rely on the power of the soul." The Cauldron Soul became excited. "The more fiendish aura it gathers, the more fiendish spirits it condenses. Only then will the power of the cauldron increase significantly! Only then will it have a chance to return to its peak state! "
"You're saying that the negative emotions of the people who died because of the 'Burning Soul Nether Mist' exploded and gave birth to fiendish aura?" Yu Yuan asked curiously.
"That's right! Master, if it won't cause you any trouble, I'd like to gather the fiendish aura in the city by myself. "The Cauldron Soul made a request to Yu Yuan.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Yuan nodded. "Be careful."
"Okay!"
Suddenly, the Fiendish Demon Cauldron shrank and condensed into a black dot of light the size of a grain of rice. It left the branch of the merchant guild and swayed on its own to gather the newly born fiendish aura.
Yu Yuan maintained a mental connection with the Cauldron Soul.
He could vaguely sense that there was indeed a lot of fiendish aura floating out from various areas of the city and flowing towards the Fiendish Demon Cauldron.
The person in charge of the merchant guild, Jin Xiaolie, saw the Fiendish Demon Cauldron's movements, but didn't say anything to stop it.
Jin Xiaolie had also heard that this precious treasure from the Fiendish Demon Sect could refine and condense fiendish aura.
Then, it would transform the fiendish aura into fiendish spirits and eventually fiendish devils. It would be arranged into a mighty Fiendish Demon Formation, intimidating all fiendish devils and causing even heavenly devils to tremble in fear.
Jin Xiaolie was thinking about whether or not he should lead the members of the merchant guild out of the city as soon as possible.
"Yu Yuan, should we … leave the city?" Liu Ying whispered.
In the towering pavilion of the merchant guild, Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the situation. He also secretly maintained a connection with the Fiendish Demon Cauldron, sensing the emergence and distribution of the fiendish aura.
He saw that after the Chen Clan and the Blue Phoenix Empire had set out, they had used cruel and bloody methods to immediately kill those who had been afflicted with the Burning Soul Nether Mist.
It didn't matter what status they had in the empire, or whether they were sect disciples or not!
The Chen Clan was using the simplest and most violent method to pacify the situation — slaughter.
From the looks of it, the Chen Clan and the Blue Phoenix Empire had a high chance of stabilizing the spread of the Burning Soul Nether Mist.
"No need to rush. I have a feeling that the Chen Clan and the Blue Phoenix Empire will successfully resolve the problem caused by the Burning Soul Nether Mist." Yu Yuan shook his head. "Let's wait for a while. When the Chen Clan and the Blue Phoenix Empire can no longer control the situation, and when the Burning Soul Nether Mist seeps into the souls of Yin Spirit experts, it won't be too late to make a decision then."
Liu Ying nodded. "Alright!"
"Let's do as this brat says." Jin Xiaolie, who wasn't good at decision-making, hurriedly warned Ma Jianjiang after Yu Yuan finished speaking. He told him not to be impatient, not to be in a hurry to give orders, and not to leave the city.
"Sigh, the God of Plagues is truly the God of Plagues." Jin Xiaolie suddenly sighed. "The moment you entered the city, we should've prepared in advance. The merchant guild's evaluation of you is not wrong at all. Wherever you appear, that place will be filled with chaos and death. "
"This …"
Yu Yuan thought carefully and couldn't help but bitterly smile. He really couldn't refute this.
Four hours later, the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling suddenly came from the southern part of Blue Phoenix City.
Through the green light screen of the Heavenly Luan Ascension Formation, one could see that there was a dazzling divine radiance and lightning in the sky south of the city. It even penetrated through the dark lightning and dust. The sky was so bright that it was frightening.
"The battle has begun!"
