Chapter 261: Fire [End of this Volume]

"Master." After Liang Yue stepped down from the stage, he walked straight to Wang Rulin and said, "I am lucky to have accomplished my mission."

Wang Rulin laughed and said, "This is not beyond my expectation at all. Although your cultivation level is very low when you first enter the sect, as long as you are willing to listen to my teachings patiently, it will be easy for you to participate in the battle to seize the city in a year."

"That's enough." Deng Yunzi beside him said, "You are lucky to have met a disciple with extraordinary talent. What does it have to do with you?"

"Why didn't you find someone else with such a talented apprentice? Why did you choose to be my disciple?" Wang Rulin snorted, "Isn't it because of my reputation?"

"If my apprentice hadn't introduced him, where would you find him?" Deng Yunzi said unhappily.

You're just lucky to have met a disciple with extraordinary talent, and you're still pretending.

At the same time, he glanced at Wen Yifan, feeling somewhat regretful. Why did his own disciple introduce such a talented person to Wang Rulin? It was really a waste of talent.

Wen Yifan was also helpless about this.

At the beginning, Liang Yue was just a small guard with the second level of cultivation. I met him by chance and thought he was quite talented and had a good sense of justice, so I wanted to make him a registered disciple of Xuanmen.

Apart from Wang Rulin, which other lineage would accept disciples so casually?

Who knew that Liang Yue's later development would be so amazing? His growth rate is unique even in the entire Xuanmen.

The two masters were bickering. Liang Yue sat in the back row, next to Wen Yifan. The two of them were quite harmonious. Wen Yifan said softly, "Congratulations."

"Without Senior Sister Wen, I wouldn't be where I am today. I have to thank you very much." Liang Yue said with a smile.

"You are real gold, and you will shine wherever you go." Wen Yifan said lightly.

The battles continued in rounds, and the final contestants participating in the battle to capture the city advanced one by one.

Lin Fenghe encountered his first tough battle since the selection. He fought with his opponent for a long time and only managed to get through by relying on the Five Elements Escape Technique.

At this point everyone has seen clearly that his archery skills are only convenient for long-range attacks. In fact, his real specialty is the Five Elements Escape Technique. He is worthy of being the young master of Bagua City.

Qi Yingwu still won easily, without showing any powerful magical powers from beginning to end, and it seemed that he won very casually.

The young master of the Whale Clan, Wu Handing, also defeated his opponent. It was also a tough battle. Both sides were seriously injured and were immediately sent for treatment.

Yan Shenbing from the military attacked fiercely and almost killed his opponent with one blow. The opponent was so frightened that his will collapsed and he immediately admitted defeat.

The remaining two were Buddhist contestants, Monk Yuansheng from the Northern School and Chen Xuanjiu from the Southern School. The two did not encounter each other and each defeated his opponent to obtain the qualification to participate in the battle to capture the city.

At this point, there are a total of eight people who have been selected to participate in the battle to capture the city. They only have to wait for the last round of competition to be over, and then the ninth person will be selected to complete the team.

However, not all of these nine people can participate. They will then go through several months of closed-door training, and the best seven candidates will be selected as the main force, and the remaining two will serve as substitutes.

The reason for setting up a backup is probably because we are afraid that Wang Rulin's situation will happen again. At that time, it will be quite hasty to find people temporarily, and it is not certain that Sword King Sun will be able to save the situation this time.

The last remaining round of duel is between Wen Yifan from Xuanmen and Liu Deng'er from Longhutang.

Both of them are famous beauties in the world and are extremely popular. Many people came just to see them, but unexpectedly they stayed until the end.

Even though Liu Deng'er was a disciple of the national teacher and had superb skills, her opponent was Wen Yifan, the current number one genius in Kyushu, so no one thought she could win.

Liu Deng'er herself seemed to have let it go. If she was lucky enough to meet a weaker opponent, she might still have a chance to get a spot. But as her opponents were drawn one by one, only she and Wen Yifan were left, which meant she had lost hope.

But she still came to the stage with high morale.

Wen Yifan has a supreme immortal body and will never underestimate or despise his enemies. He is definitely the most reassuring player.

Seeing her stand up, cheers came from all directions. Two women, one in white and the other in plain brocade, stood across the stage, facing each other.

……

Just as this much-anticipated showdown was about to begin, a bright fire suddenly lit up in the other side of the sky. Due to the huge size of the fire, it illuminated half of Taihuang Mountain, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"What's going on?" Mu Beidi turned around and asked.

Soon, a palace servant who had gone to investigate the situation came back quickly and shouted, "Your Majesty! A huge fire broke out in the Spirit Blood Hall. All 32 royal family members who were preparing for the sacrifice were engulfed in the sea of ​​fire and have not come out. We don't know whether they are alive or dead!"

"What?" Mu Beidi stood up suddenly.

The ancestral temple is a place where ancestral tablets are enshrined. The ancestors of the Jiang family can be traced back to the ancient Chu Saint period. Many ancestral tablets are in the temple, which is grand in scale.

However, except for the emperor and the prince who bore the blood of the God King, no one was allowed to enter the ancestral temple. If other royal relatives wanted to worship their ancestors, they had to enter the Spirit Blood Hall, where the blood of the God King passed down by the Jiang family was worshipped.

When the emperor entered the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices, the royal family members would also hold sacrifices together in the Lingxue Hall.

The clan members performed sacrifices far more often than the emperor, so they should be very familiar with the sacrificial process, and there would be no problems. If there were any accidents, it must be someone's fault.

The match on the arena was stopped immediately before it even started. The imperial guards remained there to provide support, and many practitioners present followed the emperor to the Lingxue Palace to investigate the situation.

When a large number of people rushed over, they saw that the guards and Qi-refining practitioners were already there to put out the fire, and only a few remnants of the fire were left.

However, the huge Spirit Blood Palace was also burned into ruins.

"How can it burn like this in just a short while?" Mu Beidi frowned and asked, "What kind of fire is this?"

An imperial attendant immediately responded, "Your Majesty, this is the Zhurong Fire from Yunxiang Country!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

When Liang Yue saw the fire, he was extremely suspicious of Liang Fuguo.

Because he first captured the Marquis of Haidong and then drove out the King of Dinggou, he must have provoked the royal family. Liang Yue guessed that the previous assassination attempt on him was probably done by a royal relative. With Liang Fuguo's character, it is impossible for him not to take revenge.

However, when there were crowds of people at the ancestral temple, they burned the royal family members halfway across the mountain. This was too horrifying, and Liang Yue didn't dare to say anything.

But if it is Zhurong Fire, then it may be related to the mysterious mountain and river...

What is going on?

The Xishan Society was involved in many corruption cases involving officials. If Liang Yue said that Liang Fuguo was behind it, he would definitely not believe it.

If it has nothing to do with Liang Fuguo, then why did the Xishan Society suddenly attack the royal family?
Such a huge mystery suddenly arose in my mind.

Not long after, another person who entered the fire scene to check the situation came to report, "Your Majesty, all 32 royal elders who were preparing for the sacrifice in the Spirit Blood Hall were killed, no one was spared!"

"Ah?" The whole audience was shocked.

This was an unprecedented major event in the Yin Dynasty. There were only a few old royal family members. Apart from a change of dynasty, how could there be a chance for so many heavyweight royal relatives to die at once?
If it weren't for the Spirit Blood Temple's sacrifice, it would have been difficult to just gather these people together.

Who on earth is this person who could have committed such a heinous crime?
　Good morning.

　　After thinking about it, I decided to end this volume here, and introduce the formal battle to capture the city and the subsequent main storyline in the next volume. Otherwise, there are too many things, and this volume will be too long to write down.
