After the Sky-Burning Evil Flame went to Jiang Chenâs Holy Sea, its terrifying evil flames immediately went along his eight pulses and his nine holy pulses, and then spread to his whole body. Jiang Chenâs body temperature gradually rose, and it seemed like he would start burning at any second. He couldnât afford to care about Jiang Yan, Jiang Moliang, or the others who were rushing over. He landed on the mountain ridge beneath him, which was still burning.
Even though the Sky-Burning Evil Flame submitted to him, its might was no small matter. The reason why Jiang Yan had managed to become its vessel was that his body was special. But even though this was the case, he could only use its Third Transformationâs power. It was fortunate that Jiang Chenâs Dragon and Phoenix bodies were both related to fire, thus he wasnât burned to ashes by it immediately.
As expected of an evil flame. Jiang Chen recalled how his father controlled the evil fire with ease, and even its Tenth Transformation was a cinch for him. Only now did he realize how amazing it was. Now, the Sky-Burning Evil Flame quieted after it spoke to him just one time. Jiang Chen had to depend upon himself to control the Sky-Burning Evil Flame.
âThe Jiang family must have surely used a sealing technique to restrict the evil fire, and itâs the reason why Jiang Yan lost control of it after using the Third Transformation,â Jiang Chen said inwardly. He planned to use the same tactic. Controlling it step by step was the only correct path while dealing with a flame with energy great enough to destroy the world. Jiang Chen placed his hands before his chest and started quickly weaving hand signs.
Jiang Moliang had come over, and she furrowed her brows as she looked at Jiang Chen. All of a sudden, she thought about her own family member and looked for him everywhere, but in the end, she only found Jiang Yanâs corpse.
The tall and upright Jiang Yan had already turned into a dried corpse, and his armor was now sliding off of him. After she carefully observed him, she discovered that he hadnât been killed by someone; it was just that his vitality had been snatched by the Sky-Burning Evil Flame when it left.
The Family Master will surely regret it now. An Alien Flame wasnât worth just 2,000,000,000, and even 100,000,000,000 wasnât enough to cover it. The Jiang family had planned to get another apex genius by cultivating the evil flame inside Jiang Yanâs body. If Jiang Yan had managed to get control over the Sky-Burning Evil Flame in the future, his fighting prowess would have been extremely great.
However, Jiang Yan had died while Jiang Chen got the Sky-Burning Evil Flame. All of the Jiang familyâs members would be pained by such a loss, even Jiang Moliang.
Lan pointed at Jiang Chenâs location as she shouted, âLook over there!â
When the other people looked, they witnessed the fiery evil flame soaring into the sky.
âThis place is dangerous!â Jiang Moliang took Jiang Yanâs corpse before she left with the other three women.
âSister Moliang, will the young master be all right?â Lan couldnât set her mind at ease, and she still couldnât be of any help to him.
âIt will depend on his luck.â She really didnât know whether it would be considered a violation of the Blood Oath if Jiang Chen was killed by the Alien Flame, but like Lan, Jiang Moliang was also incapable of containing what was happening. She transmitted this news back to her family in a transmission mode used only for emergencies. Jiang Moliang knew clearly that such news would cause a great sensation in the Jiang family if it reached them.
âHe collected the Alien Flame,â Tang Shiya said suddenly.
They witnessed the Sky-Burning Evil Flame shrinking down, while the burning mountain and forestâs flame were also absorbed into that area. In the twinkling of an eye, the flames disappeared and left behind just a charred land with rising smoke.
Jiang Chen, who had already changed into a new set of clothes, flew into the sky before rushing toward them.
âHis power rose further on.â Tang Shiya felt sad as she thought about this.
Jiang Moliang went over to him and asked, âHow did you manage to snatch the Sky-Burning Evil Flame?â This was what she couldnât understand. It wasnât like the Jiang family hadnât considered extracting the Alien Flame from Jiang Yanâs body, but they hadnât managed to do so. Yet Jiang Chen had managed to snatch the Alien Flame when it went out of control. How many secrets does this person hide? Jiang Moliang couldnât help but wonder.
âYou wonât believe it, even if I tell you.â Jiang Chen just beat around the bush, even though he really didnât lie. If he informed them that the Alien Flame submitted to him by itself after he announced his status, they would just take him for a madman.
Now that he thought of it again, the flame spirit quieted completely after it said, âGreetings, Your Highness.â Regardless of how Jiang Chen called it, it wouldnât respond. It was as if the flame spirit had disappeared completely. He even started suspecting he had misheard it. However, the Sky-Burning Evil Flame really had obeyed his order and entered his body.
Jiang Chen surmised that most of the flame spirit had disappeared along with the elapsing of such a long time, and it just used its last power to transmit those words to him. Jiang Chen was oblivious as to why it ended up falling into the Three Middle Realms, and he was also oblivious to his fatherâs current situation. However, since his father lost the Sky-Burning Evil Flame, his power would deteriorate greatly, and it wouldnât manage to get back to its peak state again.
Jiang Chen couldnât help but become slightly pessimistic due to such circumstances. The Over Cloud Palace, which existed 500 years ago, had probably already disappeared. However, Jiang Chen could still faintly feel that something was awaiting him in the Sacred Zone, and he needed to go solve all of those mysteries.
At this moment, a group of black-armored guards, as well as several powerful aurae, approached them from the direction of Beiliang City. âYou should all go back to Beiliang City without us,â Jiang Moliang said to Lan and the other women. It wasnât appropriate for outsiders to witness what would occur afterward, as they might kill all the witnesses.
Tang Shiya and Yu Ling didnât hesitate and quickly flew away. This was especially the case for Yu Ling, as she was afraid that Jiang Chen would cause trouble for her. As for Lan, she wasnât willing to leave, and it was only when Jiang Chen and Jiang Moliang glared at her with their stern gazes that she finally left.
âYou asked him all along to spare me, but you never asked me to spare him,â Jiang Chen stated when he felt Jiang Moliangâs reproachful gaze.
Jiang Moliang sneered coldly as she replied, âThatâs right, isnât? This isnât related to you at all.â
Jiang Chen quieted and didnât say anything more. He turned his attention to the Jiang familyâs troops, who were coming over. The black-armored guards were Beiliang Cityâs guards. Jiang Chen knew most of them, and it was also the case for the two Celestial Venerables.
However, the leaders of this group werenât the two Celestial Venerables but three gray-haired old men at the Celestial Venerable Realm. They all wore a solemn look, didnât utter a single word, and just went to receive Jiang Yanâs corpse.
After they verified that the Sky-Burning Evil Flame in Jiang Yanâs body had disappeared, they cast their gazes upon Jiang Chen. âYoung Master Feng, please hand over the Sky-Burning Evil Flame.â Sure enough, they made that request. It seemed reasonable and fair to them.
âIf I release the Sky-Burning Evil Flame in my body, will your Jiang family be capable of subduing it?â Jiang Chen asked.
âItâs none of your business.â The three people didnât want to argue over it.
âWhat if I refuse?â Jiang Chen spoke coldly. He didnât feel like he had snatched the Sky-Burning Evil Flame from the Jiang family, but that he had just taken back his own familyâs possession. However, he couldnât state such an opinion.
âThe Jiang family agreed to provide you with all its resources, but that doesnât include letting you kill our Jiang familyâs disciple and steal his Alien Flame.â The three Celestial Venerables restrained themselves. If there wasnât a Blood Oath between them, they would have killed such a person many times.
âWhat if I refuse?â Jiang Chen didnât argue with them and expressed his decision. The sky descended into silence while a bone-chilling killing intent permeated it.
âWe will then capture you and take back the Alien Flame. Moreover, we will probably take other objects from you as well. Is such an outcome to your satisfaction?â
