Jianmu City was the enemy's territory. Xia Qingyuan and the others were at a disadvantage here.
That was why Xi Chan dared to be so forceful and wanted to keep them here.
However, even though the other Renhuang Realms could not do as they pleased in Crimson Dragon City, the enemy did not dare to touch them.
Xia Qingyuan did not back down at all. She said forcefully, "Many people on Heavenly Fire Avenue saw it with their own eyes. The Flames of the Way were given to us by an old man. If you are so forceful, then go find that old man. If he asks for the Flames of the Way, return them to him immediately. As for you, the Flames of the Way did not come from you. Do you think that's possible? "
If they had talked nicely with them before they arrived, and if the Flames of the Way were indeed theirs, perhaps they would have considered returning them, but they would not have given them away just like that.
However, these people attacked them as soon as they arrived and were extremely forceful.
It was impossible for them to take the Flames of the Way back.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. Neither of them took a step back.
Xi Chan and Xia Qingyuan were extremely forceful as well.
At that moment, another group of people came over. They had powerful auras and wore crimson dragon robes. They were the cultivators of the Crimson Dragon Army. They were the ones who were responsible for maintaining order in Jianmu City.
Jianmu City was a city within a city. It belonged to Crimson Dragon City, and the Crimson Dragon Army was the absolute law in Crimson Dragon City.
The battle that had broken out here had drawn them here.
"Commander Mu." Xi Chan bowed slightly to the leader. She obviously knew him. The Crimson Dragon Army of Jianmu City had been stationed here for many years. There were nine deputy commanders and two commanders. Commander Mu was one of the two commanders, and he was in charge of the upper regions of Jianmu City.
"What's going on?" Commander Mu asked as he looked at the two sides.
A figure flashed over and reported to him what had happened.
After learning who Ye Futian and the others were, Commander Mu took a look at him. He had heard that Yu Sheng of Qianye City had entered the Regional Palace with a domineering attitude. In the future, Yu Sheng might become one of the commanders of Crimson Dragon City.
In short, he would most likely join the Crimson Dragon Army in the future.
"Xi Chan, how can the Xi clan prove that the Flames of the Way are yours?" Commander Mu looked at Xi Chan and asked, "And how did the Xi clan get their hands on them?"
"Commander Mu, this Dao Fire really does belong to the Xi Clan." At this moment, a silhouette appeared in the sky. The flame aura in the void rumbled and flowed towards one direction. Suddenly, a figure as dazzling as the sun appeared in the void.
It was as if he was carrying the sun on his back. Just by standing there, he was dazzling.
It was the Saint Lord of Nine Sun of the Xi clan. However, it was likely that this was only a manifestation of his will and not his true self.
Commander Mu looked at the illusory figure that materialized and said, "Jiuyang, the Xi clan has never produced a Renhuang. Since this is Renhuang Flames of the Way, it must have been obtained from somewhere else. From what I know, I don't think anyone would trade for Flames of the Way so easily."
It was obvious that Commander Mu had guessed the origin of the Dao fire.
The Saint Lord of Jiuyang frowned.
Commander Mu then looked at Xia Qingyuan and said, "The Xi clan claims that the Flames of the Way belong to them. Are you willing to return them?"
"No," Xia Qingyuan said decisively.
"Alright." Commander Mu nodded.
"One side wants it, and the other doesn't. Since that's the case, the Xi clan is free to take it, but don't cause too much of a ruckus on the World Tree. Also, if you get into a fight with them over the Flames of the Way, the Crimson Dragon Army will not interfere in matters between the two parties. You can do as you please."
Crimson Dragon City had its own rules, and no one was allowed to kill at will. In truth, Crimson Dragon City was the safest city in Crimson Dragon Realm, and it was also the only place with its own set of rules. The rules were set by the Crimson Dragon Emperor, and everyone had to abide by them.
If someone broke the rules, the Red Dragon Army would naturally capture that person, but now, the Red Dragon Army had personally come forward to mediate. Since both sides refused to compromise, then they would let them do as they pleased.
The Saint Lord of Jiuyang looked down at the people below. His gaze landed on Xia Qingyuan and said, "If a conflict really breaks out, it will not benefit either side. What will it take for you to be willing to return the Flames of the Way?"
The Flames of the Way were very important to them. They were not just the flames left behind by Renhuang.
If that was all, he wouldn't have come out personally.
"Since you want to use your power to oppress us, it's naturally impossible for us to return the Dao Flames." Xia Qingyuan looked at the Saint Lord of Jiuyang coldly. It might have been difficult to deal with top figures without any forces, but since they were from top clans, they would not dare to touch her.
"Trying to intimidate others?" The Saint Lord of Jiuyang looked at Xia Qingyuan and said, "Xi Chan."
"I'm here." Xi Chan looked up at the Saint Lord of Jiuyang.
"Since Princess Xia thinks that we are using our power to oppress others, you and she are on the same level. Let's have a match." The Saint Lord of Jiuyang said, "Princess Xia, if Xi Chan wins, you will return the Flames of the Way. If you win, the Xi clan will no longer ask for the Flames of the Way, and Xi Chan will apologize for her recklessness. What do you say?"
If it were not for the fact that Xia Qingyuan and the others were from Emperor Xia's Realm, the Saint Lord of Jiuyang would not have been so polite and taken them away right away.
Of course, if that were the case, Xia Qingyuan and the others would not have dared to be so forceful, and he would probably have been forced to hand them over.
Hearing what the Saint Lord of Jiuyang said, Xia Qingyuan raised her head and looked at him. Ye Futian then said, "Let me do it."
Since the Saint Leader of Jiuyang had made such a suggestion, they had no objections.
Xia Qingyuan looked at him, then at Xi Chan, and said, "This is none of your business."
As she said that, she looked up at the Saint Lord of Jiuyang and said, "Very well."
As soon as she said that, everyone became somewhat excited, especially those who frequented Jianmu City.
They had all heard of Xi Chan's talent and strength. She was the number one of the younger generation of the Xi clan, and she had trained the Flames of Jiuyang to an extremely powerful level.
Xia Qingyuan, on the other hand, was a princess from Emperor Xia's Realm. They wondered how a princess from a Renhuang Realm would compare to a genius from the Crimson Dragon Realm.
It seemed that there would be a good show to watch.
The two women rose into the air. Xi Chan's entire body was wreathed in flames, making her look like a goddess of the sun. Her body floated in the air as the scorching sun shone down from above. Nine suns appeared behind Xi Chan. The nine suns rotated in a cycle, and an extremely violent flame burst out from behind her. Just the rays of the sun that shot out were enough to burn everything in their path. They contained the power of the great path of destruction.
The terrifying rays of the sun shot straight at Xia Qingyuan, and they were truly capable of burning people to death.
Divine light shone from Xia Qingyuan's body. Wisps of dazzling catastrophe sword will filled the air, turning into the light of catastrophe swords. They also turned into sword will and shot out, colliding with the rays of the sun. An ear-piercing sound was heard.
Xi Chan naturally did not think that she would be able to defeat Xia Qingyuan with just this. She floated in the air, and the nine suns rotated around her. Suns kept appearing in the sky, and there seemed to be no end to them. In the blink of an eye, many suns appeared in the sky, enveloping Xia Qingyuan within.
Each sun contained extremely fierce flames. Those were the Flames of Jiuyang. Those of the direct bloodline of her clan had all cultivated the flames of the Way, but they were of different planes.
While the Flames of Jiuyang that she had cultivated were only at the Proving Holiness level, they were still of the ultimate level, and their destructive power was extremely strong.
The suns around Xia Qingyuan rotated, and the rays of the sun shone down, intending to burn people to death. Xi Chan's beautiful eyes seemed to have been branded with the suns. She raised her hands, and the flames of the sun curled around her palms.
She wanted to see just how powerful the princess of a Renhuang Realm was.
"Burn." Xi Chan spat out a single word and unleashed a saint-level spell. In an instant, the suns shot beams of flames at the same time, burning the air as they shot towards Xia Qingyuan. Rumbling sounds were heard in the sky, and it was hard to imagine just how violent the flames of the sun were.
Ye Futian looked up at the battlefield from below, feeling rather shocked. Xi Chan was more powerful than he had imagined.
She was a top-notch fire-type clan in the Crimson Dragon Realm, and her use and control of the power of flames could be said to have reached the pinnacle.
Divine light shone from Xia Qingyuan's body, and countless lotuses appeared around her. These lotuses shielded her body as they opened and closed in the air. The beams of flames shot towards her and hit the petals of the lotuses. Violent rumbles were heard, but they were unable to melt or destroy them.
One after another, the suns shot beams of even more intense flames. The flames instantly burned the air, completely burying Xia Qingyuan within. Xi Chan waved her hands, and suddenly, the suns in the air merged together, turning into a huge sun that buried Xia Qingyuan's body within it.
In an instant, the space became extremely hot, and everything was about to be melted and destroyed. Xia Qingyuan was buried in the sun along with the lotuses.
At that moment, dazzling sword aura burst from the lotuses, especially the one in the middle. Terrifying catastrophe swords pierced through the sun and shot outwards. The sword aura grew in number and strength, destroying everything in its path.
In a short moment, the boundless sword aura tore countless cracks in the sun. With a loud rumble, the sun exploded and the petals of the lotus opened and closed. A peerless figure stood within it. It was Xia Qingyuan.
Xia Qingyuan stood in a lotus, and countless lotuses bloomed in the air. The catastrophe swords contained extremely terrifying explosive power, and more and more of them appeared. In a short moment, they covered the sky and the sun, all pointed at Xi Chan.
"Go." Xia Qingyuan pointed at Xi Chan. Endless catastrophe swords of the great path shot out at the same time towards Xi Chan.
Xi Chan stepped forward, and an incredibly violent aura burst from her body. It was as if a sun had appeared around her. She was enveloped in the sun, and everything around her was scorched red. When the catastrophe swords tore through the air and pierced into the solar storm, they melted and disappeared. It was as if they had been reduced to ashes.
Even the swords were about to be melted.
Xi Chan continued to move forward, taking a step towards Xia Qingyuan. The flames of the sun melted everything in the world, and the catastrophe swords were destroyed by the Flames of Jiuyang.
Xia Qingyuan frowned. Endless catastrophe swords flowed forward, but they were destroyed as soon as they blasted into the screen of light from the sun.
That was the first time she had encountered such a powerful fellow cultivator of the art of fire.
Furthermore, Xi Chan seemed to want to fight in close combat!
