Xiao Yun only looked around 16-years-old to the newly arrived youths. As such he was, at most, an Innate realm cultivator, someone who they could bully at will. They walked over with a mocking smile.

“Boy, this Fire Spirit Gra.s.s is something that our brother wants, so hurry up and hand it over.” One of the youths gave an arrogant smile as he coldly looked at Xiao Yun and spoke condescendingly.

“G.o.ddamit, these little brats want to steal this Lord’s things?” Before Xiao Yun could get angry, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow roared out, “Lil Yun, go slaughter them for me. Fudge, I can’t believe this Lord has fallen so low to endure such a thing!”

Xiao Yun remained calm and did not get angry. He raised an eyebrow and calmly looked at the 4 youths as he said, “There are no grievances between us, so leave before I get angry. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not holding back.” Xiao Yun did not want to make trouble for himself, so he did not immediately attack.

However, who would have thought that Xiao Yun trying to be courteous would completely infuriated the youths?

“Who do you think you are to be so arrogant? Not hold back? What do you mean not hold back?”

“Brat, cut the nonsense. If you don’t hand over the Fire Spirit Gra.s.s, your elder’s going to attack.” 2 of the youths opposite Xiao Yun glared at him coldly as their gazes darkened. A powerful aura swept out from them as they prepared to attack.

This caused Xiao Yun to frown. It looked like he had to speak with his fists!

“Hand it over.” One of the youths stepped forwards, his hand forming a claw as he rushed towards Xiao Yun.

This youth was at the late stage of the Innate realm, and powerful ripples could be seen around the youth’s fingers, causing the air to be torn. He had evidently used a powerful claw-hand skill to try to take down Xiao Yun.

Since the other person was acting so domineering, Xiao Yun’s gaze became cold as he spoke in an icy tone, “You’re seeking death.” After speaking, a powerful wave of spirit energy burst forth.

The youth’s eyes went blank, and an expression of fear appeared on his face as he stopped moving.

Swis.h.!.+

A sword light flashed – Xiao Yun had pulled out a soft sword from around his waist and slashed towards the other youth.

Chi!

A cold light glinted, and the youth’s hand was cut off.

“Arghh!!”

A pitiful cry sounded out, and the youth’s entire face twisted. His eyes bulged as he looked towards his severed hand. Blood poured out unendingly, and anyone who saw this scene felt a chill within their hearts. The other youths couldn’t help but deeply breathe in a breath of cold air.

“What’s going on?” The youths all revealed an expression of deep shock. Just then, that youth’s sword had been too fast, to the point that they could not see anything.

“This is a lesson for you. Don’t try to steal others’ things as you want,” Xiao Yun said as he calmly looked at that youth.

One of the other youths said darkly, “Very good, you’re quite brave to dare to harm even someone from our Qiu family. Looks like you’re tired of living. Our family members are all nearby; you’d best surrender.”

The other youths also prepared to fight.

“Qiu family’s people?” Xiao Yun frowned, “So you’re all this arrogant.”

That youth said, “Scared? My Qiu family is one of the 4 largest families in the Moonwind Kingdom. Hurry up and kneel and beg for mercy.” This youth’s words were arrogant, but he did not dare to rashly attack. Just then, Xiao Yun’s incredibly fast attack had struck fear into his heart.

Xiao Yun said coldly, “One of the 4 largest families? Do you have an elder at the Heaven Origin Sect?”

One of the youths replied, “That’s right. And that’s not all. Every time the Heaven Origin Sect chooses disciples, it’s our Qiu family’s people. Now, there are tens, if not over a hundred of us in the Heaven Origin Sect. Hmph, and you dared to attack my brother. Hurry up and kneel.”

“Are you related to Qiu Yu Chen?” Xiao Yun asked with narrowed eyes.

One of the youths said in surprise, “Yu Chen? That’s right, he’s my cousin. What about him?”

The other youths also looked quite confused, with some wariness in their eyes. For some reason, they felt quite fearful towards this youth.

Xiao Yun smiled as he spoke slowly, “I killed him.”

“What? You killed brother Yu Chen?” The youths’ expressions became serious as they asked, “Could you be Violet Cloud County’s Xiao Yun?”

“That’s right.” Xiao Yun gave a smile that chilled their hearts.

One of the Qiu family’s youths coldly shouted, “Very good, you killed Yu Chen but still dared to appear here – you’re simply seeking death!

“Since you’re from the Qiu family, you can go die.” Xiao Yun’s eyes gleamed as he sent forth a boundless wave of spirit energy.

Buzz!

The 4 Qiu family’s youths felt their souls tremble as the spirit energy entered their minds.

Swis.h.!.+

Xiao Yun readied his sword as he rushed at these people.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

In just an instant, the 4 people were killed. These mere Innate realm cultivators could not withstand a single attack from Xiao Yun. Violet flames flashed as the 4 people were immediately incinerated.

After disposing of the youths, Xiao Yun took out a cloth and wiped the blood off his soft sword, then wrapped it around him as a belt again. This soft sword was quite convenient to carry around.

“So the Qiu family’s people are here?” After putting the soft sword away, Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes, looking into the distance. If the Qiu family sent experts, things would become problematic for him.

“What are you so afraid of? With this Lord, if the Qiu family sends one, we’ll kill one,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow said arrogantly.

“Just you?” Xiao Yun asked mockingly.

“Haha, the prerequisite is that you help me recover some of my strength,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow smiled.

“Don’t worry, I won’t neglect you.” Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and used the Heaven-Devouring Divine Art to form a vortex to devour the Fire Spirit Gra.s.s, and a stream of pure Fire Essence Qi streamed towards the Heaven-Devouring Tower.

The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow started drooling, and by the time the Essence Qi reached it, it immediately devoured all of it.

“This Fire Spirit Gra.s.s still wasn’t enough. It would have been good if it was 1,000 years old,” The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow continuously sighed, “I wonder just what that Skyfire Inheritor Palace has. Perhaps it birthed a Fire Spirit.”

“Fire Spirit?” Xiao Yun frowned, feeling curious.

The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow said, “It’s a type of spiritual creature – there are many different types. Let’s go now.”

Xiao Yun nodded and ran forwards. Since the Qiu family’s people were here, it was likely that they were here for the Skyfire Inheritor Palace as well. As such, he couldn’t allow them to get there first. On the way, Xiao Yun also slightly changed his appearance.

This was a type of disguise technique that the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow had taught him that worked by changing the positions of one’s bones. Even though it was a slight change, it allowed Xiao Yun to reshape his face, making it impossible to recognise him. Now, his face looked incredibly lean and sharp.

After travelling for a day, the places where Xiao Yun pa.s.sed became hotter and hotter, and he would occasionally find spirit gra.s.ses.

However, there were also more and more people around – most of them were adventurers from large families who were here to bring back medicinal ingredients.

Xiao Yun arrived at a rocky desert, and saw groups of cultivators. At the same time, he also saw fire rus.h.i.+ng to the sky which sent out powerful heatwaves that felt incredibly scorching.

Xiao Yun sent out his spirit energy to see everything around him. There was a deep chasm ahead, and the flames within it rushed to the sky, looking like a sea of flames.

Legend said that flames had fallen form the heavens, the impact creating a chasm of flames. Moreover, because of the impact, the shape of the land around it had been affected as well.

However, looking closely, there seemed to be cultivators from various factions around the fire chasm’s boundary; they seemed to be guarding it.

Xiao Yun had the map of the area and naturally knew that these people were guarding the road leading to the fire chasm.

This was a road created by people long ago. If one went down from the cliff face, descended through the chasm, and pa.s.sed over a bridge of chains, one would be able to reach the Skyfire Inheritor Palace. However, that chasm of fire had completely submerged the Skyfire Inheritor Palace, so everyone was waiting for an opportunity.

Most of the people waiting were from the Moonwind Kingdom’s large families.

There were people from the Qiu family, Yan family, Wu family and Liu family, all of whom were guarding the pa.s.sageway. Apart from them, there were also a few gangs as well. Apart from this chasm, there was no other way to go down.

After reaching this place, Xiao Yun was not in a hurry, and found a fairly remote place nearby. He sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate.

The Fire Essence Qi here was very dense, so it was a rare cultivating paradise for him. However, because there were many people around, he did not reveal his full cultivating speed. Otherwise, with the Heaven-Devouring Divine Art, his cultivating speed would shock the world.

The flames from the chasm rushed to the sky, dying the entire sky red and making the night seem like day.

The next day, a commotion sounded out.

“What happened?” Xiao Yun suddenly opened his eyes and sent out his spirit energy.

“The sea of flames is dying down; the Skyfire Inheritor Palace is about to appear!”

“Such a boundless sea of flames is slowly retreating; could it be that there’s a Core Fire Vein down there?” At the boundary of the fire chasm, various families’ cultivators cried out, revealing expressions of shock.

Xiao Yun also discovered this using his spirit energy. The sea of flames was gradually lowering, and a gigantic palace was starting to be revealed.

“The Inheritor Palace has appeared. Let’s go,” the elders of various families said.

“Yes.” The elders led the people from their families down the fire chasm, leaving some experts to guard the boundary.

The people who went down were almost all True Essence realm cultivators, and very few of them were youths.

Not many people went from each family. They all knew that the Skyfire Inheritor Palace was not to be looked down on – if they sent too many people, they would be sacrificing many people.

The Qiu family’s elder said, “Let’s go.” His body flashed through the air and he slowly floated down the fire chasm instead of walking down the steps. Everyone was shocked.

“That’s elder Qiu Xuan Feng, he’s an Essence Core realm expert.”

“They’ve even sent out an Essence Core realm expert? Looks like the Qiu family is determined to obtain the treasures in that Inheritor Palace!”

“It’s said that a peerless genius has appeared in the Qiu family and has a Fire Spirit Body, allowing him to absorb all Fire Essence Qi in the heavens and earth. He’s come to obtain some fire spiritual items for him from the Skyfire Inheritor Palace.” The people nearby continuously discussed with each other, revealing a shocking secret.
