This should be some kind of peculiar demonic fire. Linlong immediately recognized the origin of this strange flame.
Although this kind of demonic fire was also transformed from a spiritual fire, it had been nurtured by a demonic cultivator. This kind of nurturing caused it to be contaminated with countless amounts of demonic qi, and this kind of demonic qi clearly gave it a kind of devouring ability.
Of course, not everything could be devoured. It could only devour the demonic aura of a demonic cultivator.
At this moment, Linlong finally understood why Old Monster Xuan Yan was so concerned about Zhang Yuhan in the ruins. It was likely that he wanted Yang Qi to absorb the demonic aura in Zhang Yuhan's body so that the demonic fire could grow stronger and stronger.
While Linlong was pondering over the demonic fire, Yang Qi was already stabbing towards him with the rune sealing sword in his hand.
The surging demonic aura on the sword also revealed its malevolence at this moment.
This scene shocked Zhang Yuhan. She didn't expect that the Spiritual Fire could contain so much demonic aura, and the demonic aura actually made her feel a sense of fear.
The black flames surged over like a tide, but at this moment, Linlong still stood fearlessly in front of his opponent.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Yang Qi's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a sinister smile. He suddenly let out a loud roar, and the sword that was stabbing over suddenly turned into six rays of sword aura.
And these sword auras completely enveloped Linlong in the center.
"Ignorant guy, I'll let you have a taste of this young master's demonic sword aura!"
Yang Qi's incomparably arrogant voice resounded in the surging demonic aura.
At this moment, Linlong smiled strangely, and then the pale white flames on the sword in his hand suddenly burned intensely. This kind of burning suddenly caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.
At this moment, a thin layer of ice also formed on the surrounding branches and weeds.
Even Zhang Yuhan, who had the physique of a martial artist, was shivering from the cold.
At the same time, Linlong also swung his sword. The sword light also flourished at this moment, and its aura was several times stronger than before.
He had already completely activated the energy within the rune sealing sword.
In an instant, the black and pale sword auras collided.
In the next moment, what made Yang Qi despair was that the black Sword Qi was unable to withstand the impact of the pale-white Sword Qi. Not only that, the black Demonic Qi was so weak that it could not even withstand a single blow. Wherever the pale-white flames passed, the black Demonic Qi would be devoured.
While Yang Qi was in despair, a sword light streaked across the darkness in front of him and directly slashed at his body.
With a face full of fear, he hurriedly dodged backwards. However, the Sword Qi was so powerful that it was impossible for him to dodge it easily.
After a flash of light, his right arm was chopped off and fell to the ground.
"Ah …"
With a blood-curdling scream, he covered his bleeding wound and retreated a few steps before stopping.
"How can your Sword Qi … be so powerful …" Yang Qi said in an extremely unwilling tone.
"It's very simple. It's because the Spiritual Fire is the bane of your Demonic Qi. Furthermore, my Ice Spiritual Fire and even the Power Spiritual Fire are not something that you can block," Linlong said as he walked towards Yang Qi.
He had just activated the Spiritual Fire source, and in addition to that, he had been accumulating power for a long time. How could Yang Qi's Demonic Flame Sword Qi be able to withstand such an attack?
"Is that so?" Yang Qi still did not dare to believe it.
"Of course." As he spoke, Linlong was already only ten feet away from Yang Qi.
As if sensing the murderous intent from Linlong, Yang Qi hurriedly said, "Linlong, you cannot … kill me …"
"Why?"
"Because I am from the Purple Sun Sect, and the most outstanding … one of the ten great geniuses. If you kill me, the Purple Sun Sect will definitely not let you off … Furthermore, old monster Xuan Yan is my … father …" Yang Qi said with great difficulty.
"Oh." At this moment, Linlong finally understood why old monster Xuan Yan would ask the weak Yang Qi to wait outside.
"Linlong, as long as you … let me go, I will definitely repay you. My father will do the same …" Seeing Linlong's reply, Yang Qi's eyes instantly lit up. He thought that Linlong was going to let him go.
But before he even finished speaking, Linlong's palm had already struck over. Yang Qi, whose face was greatly alarmed, hurriedly waved his palm to block, but how could he, who was heavily injured, block such an attack from Linlong? He was sent flying dozens of feet away by Linlong and fiercely fell onto the ground.
"Ahh, why are all these people so full of themselves? I, Linlong, am a person who has even killed Martial Lords. Why would I let you go because of this?" Linlong shook his head and sighed, then strode towards Yang Qi.
Yang Qi was not dead yet. The rise and fall of his chest showed that he still had a breath. Of course, that was Linlong's intention, or else the palm just now would have taken his life.
The reason why Linlong did that was naturally because of the Spiritual Fire in Yang Qi's body. Although the Spiritual Fire already became Demonic Fire because of the demonic cultivators, it could still be taken away.
However, Linlong did not plan to consume the Demonic Fire himself because the Demonic Fire was already tainted by demonic aura. It did not meet his requirements at all.
Naturally, consuming it was not a problem, but he did not want to destroy his future path of martial cultivation because of such a flaw.
Linlong did not strip the Demonic Fire in Yang Qi's body on the spot. Instead, he moved him to a hidden place, then started to cast the Stripping Technique.
After spending quite a bit of time, Linlong finally stripped Yang Qi's Demonic Fire. However, he did not absorb it into his body like before. Instead, he used a Restriction to seal it, then gave it to Zhang Yuhan who was on the side.
Seeing the method Linlong used to strip the Spiritual Fire, Zhang Yuhan was already dumbfounded. At that moment, seeing Linlong actually give it to her, naturally, she was even more shocked.
"Sir Lin, this is?" She said in astonishment.
"It's not worth it for me to consume this Demonic Fire myself, so I plan to give it to you," Linlong said.
"But, this Demonic Fire is also useless to me," Zhang Yuhan said curiously.
"It's useful. Try using that demonic weapon to absorb it," Linlong said.
He had used his Spiritual Force to check Zhang Yuhan's demonic weapon and knew that it was not ordinary. It could definitely absorb this Demonic Fire. Of course, if the Demonic Fire was still controlled by Yang Qi, it would be impossible to absorb it. However, it was completely different now.
"This … I'll try." Zhang Yuhan's eyes suddenly lit up.
She had originally felt that this demonic weapon had other magical uses, but she could not find them. Now that she heard Linlong's words, she immediately felt enlightened.
After thanking him, Zhang Yuhan quickly took the Demonic Fire and studied it.
She was thinking about improving her strength now, so she naturally did not reject Linlong's good intentions.
This Demonic Fire could be absorbed by Zhang Yuhan's demonic weapon, but unfortunately, because it had been refined by Yang Qi before, the external Spiritual Fire Source had already disappeared. Therefore, it could not heal the injuries that Zhang Yuhan had suffered from cultivating demonic techniques.
Otherwise, she would not have to follow Linlong to find the Spiritual Fire.
As Zhang Yuhan used the demonic weapon to absorb the Demonic Fire, Linlong checked the spoils of war he got from Yang Qi's body.
Naturally, the one that interested him the most was the Azure Wings that could allow martial artists below the late-stage Martial Lord realm to fly.
After taking the Azure Wing Linlong, he seriously examined the symbols on the two wings.
Normally speaking, in order to control such a Rune-Sealed Flying Device, there must be special Rune Terminology. Linlong did not find any special Rune Terminology on Yang Qi's body.
However, to him, who was once a Rune Master in his previous life and had great improvements in Rune Studies recently, it was not a difficult matter. After a while, he deciphered the Rune Terminology to control the Azure Wings from the symbols on the Azure Wings.
He silently recited the Rune Terminology and used his Spiritual Force to communicate with the symbols on the Azure Wings. The threads of symbols on the Azure Wings immediately started to flicker. Quickly after, countless symbols started to jump on the threads, and very quickly, two rays of light extended from the Azure Wings, wrapping around Linlong's waist.
After that, the Azure Wings directly fused with Linlong.
With a thought from Linlong, the Azure Wings immediately brought him out of the cave.
Only after flying back and forth in the sky a few times did he return to the cave in satisfaction.
The Flying Device was different from the Rune-Sealed Sword before. He only needed to do it himself and he could charge energy into it. He did not need to find the help of experts in the Martial Lord realm or above.
Precisely because of that, he was not worried in the slightest that the Azure Wings' energy would be used up.
After putting the Azure Wings away, Linlong looked at the other spoils of war.
However, the remaining spoils of war seemed to be only some martial skills, cultivation methods, pellets, and the like. They did not attract his interest.
However, just as he was about to put these things away, his eyes lit up because he discovered that the thing wrapped in a small cloth bag was actually a jade pendant.
Moreover, that jade pendant was extremely similar to the two jade pendants Zhang Yuhan and Zhang Yuqing had.
Linlong immediately picked it up, put it in his hand, and seriously examined it.
After a while, an excited expression immediately appeared on his face. That's right, this jade pendant was one of the three jade pendants.
Truly, one could wear out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it by chance without even looking.
Originally, he thought it would be very difficult to find the jade pendant, but who would have thought it would be so easy to obtain.
After thinking carefully, Linlong understood the reason behind it.
The jade pendant was definitely obtained by Old Monster Xuan Yan. Not only the jade pendant, even the porcelain was previously in his hands.
Old Monster Xuan Yan definitely knew that there were two other jade pendants. When the three jade pendants and the porcelain were put together, they would be able to find the treasured location where the Spiritual Fire was hidden.
Precisely because of that, he sold the porcelain in the auction and put a tracing imprint on it. His goal was to lure out the people who knew the secret of the porcelain.
The facts proved that he did indeed lure out Linlong and Zhang Yuhan, who knew the secret, but Old Monster Xuan Yan, who had prepared for a long time, ultimately failed because of Linlong.
However, Linlong did not expect Old Monster Xuan Yan to put the jade pendant on his son's body. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for him to truly gather the three jade pendants.
It could only be said that his luck was too good. Thinking of this, Linlong faintly smiled and took out the porcelain and the other two jade pendants.
After studying them for a while, the joy on his face became even stronger. This was because he could confirm that these things pointed to another location. In other words, there was one hundred percent the existence of another ruin.
And the ruin that he took out was very likely the treasured location where the Spiritual Fire was hidden.
As for this Huan Yu Palace, after thinking about it, Linlong felt that the original owner of this Huan Yu Palace map should be someone else. This person choosing to sell it at this time was completely a coincidence.
This was because if Old Monster Xuan Yan had the map, he definitely would not have sold it during the auction of the porcelain.
Of course, the owner of this Huan Yu Palace map could be a single person or a force.
As for why this Huan Yu Palace map could fuse with these jade pendants and porcelain, Linlong felt that it should be because the purchased map was copied from another jade pendant.
In other words, this set of items that pointed to the map did not only contain three jade pendants, but four.
The map formed by the fourth jade pendant, Zhang Yuhan and her sister's jade pendants, and the porcelain just happened to point to this Huan Yu Palace. As for the combination of Yang Qi's jade pendant, Zhang Yuhan and her sister's jade pendants, and the porcelain, it pointed to this unknown location that had yet to be determined.
They did not just point to one place, but to two places.
This would explain everything that had happened.
Even though this was only a guess, Linlong felt that it was most likely the case.
Just as Linlong was about to completely analyze the map, an astonishing change happened to Zhang Yuhan, who was beside him. Her body, which was originally quiet, suddenly exploded with an unprecedentedly powerful demonic aura.
This kind of power even caused the Spiritual Fire in Linlong's body to directly produce an instinctive reaction.
