The meteor fell so quickly that it landed firmly on the ground in the blink of an eye. Soon after, the dazzling light dissipated, revealing two figures.
If He Yiming was still here, he would definitely discover that one of the two figures was a very familiar figure.
Hao Dong, the old man who was known as the number one alchemist in the Grand Divine Wind Palace, was currently looking around with bright eyes. At this moment, he no longer had a gentle smile on his face. Instead, there was an extremely solemn expression on his face. In particular, he frowned slightly after carefully examining the ground around him.
"Senior Brother Hao, are you able to tell who exactly did this?"
The other person was also an old man, but he seemed to be younger than Hao Dong in terms of appearance. Furthermore, he was so handsome that Hao Dong could not be compared to him.
Hao Dong shook his head slightly and said, "Junior brother Xu, I can't tell. What about you?"
Junior brother Xu pondered for a while before he finally shook his head and said, "Those who can condense the power of fire to such an extent can be counted on one hand, even among our generation. However, I really can't figure out why they're here, and why they're trying to show off. "
Hao Dong raised his head again and looked around for a while before he said, "Perhaps they're not trying to show off."
Junior brother Xu was slightly startled and asked, "Senior brother Hao, in your opinion, why is this person doing this?"
Hao Dong walked slowly. His pace seemed slow, but it only took a moment for him to walk across the scorched ground once. When he finally stopped, he happened to be standing at the spot where He Yiming released the Nine Dragons Cauldron for the second time.
"Junior brother Xu, if I'm not wrong, this person stood here and released the power of fire twice in a row." Hao Dong said with a solemn expression, "This person did not move and did not borrow the power of Heaven and Earth. He was able to create such a terrifying destructive force with just his own strength. It's truly shocking."
Junior Brother Xu's expression changed slightly. He was silent for a while before he finally said, "That's right. Senior Brother, you're right. The power of fire that this person displayed was indeed from the inside out. It wasn't compressed and exploded by absorbing the power of fire in the world."
Hao Dong chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Xu, the reason I was able to see through it was because I cultivate the energy of fire."
Junior Brother Xu nodded and said, "Since this person did not purposely attract the power of Heaven and Earth and purely relied on his own strength to release the power of fire … I understand now. He's studying martial arts."
Hao Dong nodded and said, "That's right. This seems to be the only explanation. Moreover, I can be sure that this person has definitely grasped a brand new martial skill. Perhaps this person suddenly entered a state of enlightenment when he arrived here. Once he thought it through, he couldn't help but release such a powerful fire attribute battle skill twice in a row. "
He Yiming would definitely be surprised by the old man's wisdom and experience if he were here and heard this comment.
Although Hao Dong did not witness it with his own eyes, his deduction was not far from the truth.
That said, no matter how clever the elder was, he could not have guessed that the person who released the forceful power of fire was not a supreme powerhouse of the same rank as him, but He Yiming, who had not even become a Venerable One.
A hint of envy flashed across Junior Brother Xu's face.
Regardless of who it was, they reacted almost the same way after hearing the word 'enlightenment'.
After a brief moment, Junior Brother Xu asked, "Senior Brother Hao, how do you plan to deal with this? Do you want to report this to the sect leader?"
Hao Dong hesitated for a while before he answered, "Sir Sect Leader told me before he went into isolated cultivation that I can ask him to come out if something big happens. However, in my opinion, this person is only a passerby and isn't provoking us on purpose. "
Junior Brother Xu looked like he agreed with him. "This person left on his own before we arrived. It's clear that he doesn't want to meet us. If he's here to provoke us, he won't be hiding. "
At the spur of the moment, the 2 of them seemed to have noticed something at the same time, and they looked in the direction of the Spirit Wind Palace.
After a brief moment, figures flashed as Gao Weiliang and Du Wenbin, who were the Venerable Ones on duty, hurried over.
The fire power that was triggered by the Nine Dragons Furnace was too massive. The Venerable Ones were 50 kilometers away, but they could still sense the enormous essential Qi changes here.
Even the 2 top-notch figures on the highest level of the tower were alarmed and had personally come to check, thus the 2 Venerable Ones on duty dared not be negligent at all.
Even so, in comparison, running on the ground could not be compared with flying in the sky. Hao Dong and Junior Brother Xu were afraid of the mysterious powerhouse that released the power of fire, so they held back when they flew. Even so, they were still slightly faster than the 2 Venerable Ones on duty.
Gao Weiliang and Du Wenbin bowed at the same time and greeted, "Greetings, senior brothers."
They addressed the 2 Venerable Ones as senior brothers, but they were excessively respectful and almost treated the 2 Venerable Ones as their masters.
Hao Dong nodded and said, "Junior brothers, you don't have to care about this anymore." He pondered for a while before he added, "But pass down my order — ask the disciples within 500 kilometers to pay attention to see if the same thing happens again within this range."
Gao Weiliang and Junior Brother Xu responded to him without any hesitation.
Hao Dong looked up at the sky and sneered. "If this person was really just passing by, it's fine if it was an unintentional mistake. However, if he releases it again within 500 kilometers, it'll be considered a deliberate provocation. By then, I'll personally make a move to see if this person's fire power is more powerful than I's. "
When he said this, he was filled with firm confidence. Even when he saw the scorched land on the ground, his confidence did not waver at all.
Junior Brother Xu laughed out loud. "Senior Brother, you're still as awe-inspiring as before. If we really meet this person, let me witness it."
The 2 of them looked at each other and smiled, then lights emerged from their bodies at the same time.
As soon as the lights wrapped around them, they instantly turned into 2 shooting stars and soared into the sky, flying toward the Heaven-reaching Pagoda in the Spirit Wind King Palace.
Gao Weiliang and Du Wenbin looked at each other and smiled bitterly because their tempers were still the same as before.
Following that, they looked around them and slowly had ghastly looks on their faces.
Hao Dong could be indifferent to the degree of destruction here, but it did not mean that the other Venerable Ones were qualified to do the same.
After a long time, Gao Weiliang took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Du, what do you think of this person?"
"He's strong." Du Wenbin answered without any hesitation, "His fire power is inferior to Senior Brother Hao's, but it's not much different. He's definitely not someone you can compare to. "
Gao Weiliang nodded and suddenly asked, "If we go against this person, how confident are you in escaping, Junior Brother Du?"
He was not asking about winning, but escaping. It was evident that he had determined that they were far from being a match for this person.
If they really encountered this person, the only thing they could do was not to risk their lives, but to turn around and escape. As for whether they could escape, nobody knew.
Du Wenbin furrowed his eyebrows this time. After a brief moment, he sighed and said, "If we're in this environment, my chances of escaping are slim to none, but it'll be hard to say if we're in a different environment."
Gao Weiliang smiled bitterly and asked, "Who exactly is this person who possesses such a forceful fire power?"
Du Wenbin's gaze scanned the surroundings. Even though he knew that senior brother Hao and the rest had definitely searched the area earlier and came up empty-handed, he still lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother, could it be that someone has come from the southern border?"
Gao Weiliang had a strange look on his face. He cleared his throat and said, "Junior Brother, let's just do as Senior Brother Hao said. We can't interfere with what's happening here."
Du Wenbin's eyes turned cold, and he quickly nodded. "Senior Brother, you're right. It's best that we don't interfere."
The two of them exchanged a knowing look, and immediately turned to leave.
In the following month, with the Grand Divine Wind Palace as the center, all the disciples within a thousand miles, regardless of whether they were inner disciples, outer disciples, or even the imperial family of the Great Shen Dynasty, received invitations or orders.
The scorched land a hundred miles away from the Grand Divine Wind Palace had been visited by countless people.
Subsequently, within this thousand miles, countless people paid attention to it. They wanted to find another piece of scorched land, and more importantly, they wanted to find the mysterious person who created this piece of scorched land.
Although everyone knew that if they really encountered the mysterious person, they would most likely lose their lives. Under the temptation of the reward offered by the Grand Divine Wind Palace, there were still countless people who joined in without hesitation.
However, the final result was a great disappointment to everyone who had put in their best efforts.
After months of searching, there was not even the slightest trace of that person. It was as if that person had disappeared from everyone's sight. If it were not for the huge piece of scorched earth and the great prestige of the Grand Divine Wind Palace that had lasted for hundreds of years, everyone would have suspected that this was an extremely bad joke.
However, no one knew that after knowing that there was no other piece of scorched land nearby, whether it was Hao Dong or Junior Brother Xu, they all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the Grand Divine Wind Palace was not afraid of trouble, they did not want to stir up trouble when the Lord was in seclusion.
Since the person was afraid of the Grand Divine Wind Palace's reputation and left voluntarily, wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?
However, among them, no one had thought that the person who created this piece of scorched land was not any of the big shots that they had imagined, but was merely an outsider who was hiding in the Grand Divine Wind Palace.
While all the outer disciples were doing their best to search, no one was paying attention to the huge city.
This was conceit and confidence. However, it was precisely because of this overconfidence that their vision had deviated … (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
