Chapter 247: Soul Wind: Why Does the Ancient Clan Not Snatch the Demon Fire?

"Let us attack together..."

Gu Fei smiled, glanced at the few people, and then mobilized a large amount of Dou Qi, pouring it into the great array being cast by Hun Miesheng.

Seeing this, the Dou Sheng powerhouses from the other five Ancient Races also increased their infusion of Dou Qi.

"You want to seal me? Dream on!"

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame began to fight back frantically.

This turn of events made the expressions of the seven people, including Hun Miesheng and Gu Fei, look very ugly.

"Everyone, let's fight it to the end!"

Hun Miesheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a ferocious look surging onto his otherwise ordinary face; he bit the tip of his tongue, sprayed out a mouthful of Essence Blood, and then shot it into the beam of light.

"Sss— sss— sss!"

As the seven people began to risk their lives, the light within the beam suddenly grew intense.

The massive body of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame actually began to shrink rapidly under the energy of the array.

"Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Array, seal!"

Seeing this, Hun Miesheng was overjoyed; his hand seals changed rapidly, followed by a sharp shout.

In a brief moment, the black array transformed into a black cylinder about a zhang in size; within the cylinder, a cluster of milky-white flames slowly rose, and an extremely terrifying temperature quietly spread outward.

"It succeeded..."

Seeing this scene, Huo Yao and the others breathed a sigh of relief; at least there was no longer a danger to their lives.

And as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was sealed by the array, a brief silence appeared in the sky.

"Hehe, this cooperation was truly pleasant. The Demon Fire has finally been sealed, which can be considered as sparing the living beings of the Central Plains from catastrophe. Many thanks!"

After adjusting his breath, Hun Miesheng laughed aloud and cupped his hands toward Gu Fei and the others.

"This guy... is he about to start snatching the Demon Fire!"

Gu Fei already knew Hun Miesheng's intention.

Although he still had remaining strength at this moment, he pretended to be severely drained of vitality.

Furthermore, he sent a voice transmission to Gu Nanhai, who was watching from afar, signaling him not to go and snatch the Demon Fire later, but to just watch the show from the sidelines.

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanhai felt puzzled, but he still trusted Gu Fei's judgment.

"Haha, many thanks to everyone today. My Soul Clan will remember this favor from you all!"

On Hun Miesheng's side, as Gu Fei had expected, he soon took action and reached toward the black light beam in the sky.

Under that huge suction force, the black light beam began to move rapidly toward Hun Miesheng.

"Bastard!"

"The Soul Clan really had other plans!"

This scene startled the others, who then hurriedly regained their senses, and shouts of anger immediately resounded through the sky.

"Hmph, wanting to take away the Demon Fire, it is not that easy!"

Elder Huo Yao of the Yan Clan and the Elder from the Lei Clan who possessed the cultivation of a Four-Star Dou Sheng, at this moment, suppressed the surging blood in their bodies and joined forces to strike a palm toward the black light beam.

Under their combined attack, the direction of the black light beam was forcibly diverted.

"You bastards!"

Seeing this, Hun Miesheng was furious.

However, at this time, he did not directly attack the two of them, but instead sent a voice transmission to Hun Feng and another member of the Soul Clan.

"Are you two not going to snatch the Demon Fire yet?"

"Move!"

Hearing these words, Hun Feng and the other person immediately reacted and reached toward the light beam.

These two, in this region, were considered top-tier powerhouses aside from the Ancient Clan; other forces, such as Burning Flame Valley and Pill Tower, could not find powerhouses capable of contending with them. "That is the Demon Fire Origin, hurry and snatch it!"

At this moment, almost everyone on the sea area had reacted, and one after another, fiery red gazes were cast toward the black light beam that was constantly dancing in the sky.

Because inside it was the sealed origin power of the Demon Fire; whoever could obtain it would undoubtedly see their strength skyrocket instantly!

"Whoosh!"

Countless people frantically executed their movement techniques and began to reach toward the black light beam.

"Elder Nanhai of the Ancient Clan has not moved to snatch it; could there be a trap in this matter?"

Huo Zhi and Huo Xuan, seeing that Gu Nanhai, the most powerful contender, was standing still, felt suspicious in their hearts.

"Perhaps, in Elder Nanhai's eyes, the Demon Fire is not as important as the safety of that Miss Xun Er!" Huo Zhi's eyes were filled with emotion.

In her view, Xun Er was a huge burden for coming this time; otherwise, with two Four-Star Dou Sheng from the Ancient Clan, they would definitely be the biggest winners in this snatching of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

"Elder Nanhai, you don't need to worry about me anymore, go and snatch the Demon Fire..."

Xun Er saw Gu Nanhai standing still.

She also subconsciously assumed that Gu Nanhai was worried about her safety and dared not take action.

Thinking of Gu Fei's confident attitude toward the Demon Fire earlier, Xun Er did not want Gu Fei to be disappointed.

If the Demon Fire were lost because Gu Nanhai was protecting her, she would feel very guilty.

"Miss Xun Er, the Young Clan Leader just instructed that this Demon Fire must not be snatched!"

Gu Nanhai explained.

"Must not be snatched?"

Hearing this explanation, Xun Er again subconsciously assumed that it was Gu Fei who had instructed Gu Nanhai to ensure her safety, and that was why...

"The Young Clan Leader must have his reasons for doing this; we had better not act recklessly!"

Gu Nanhai continued.

On the other side, a Central Plains expert who had gotten closer had already snatched the black pillar of light.

"Haha, I have obtained the Demon Fire Origin!" This person laughed extremely excitedly.

However, the moment his laughter rang out, nearly ten fierce fist winds slammed ruthlessly into his body without the slightest courtesy.

"Bang!"

Under such dense attacks, this expert with the strength of an Advanced Half-Saint died without even being able to let out a single miserable shriek.

"Get lost!"

Two people from the Soul Clan rushed over; with their strength, the others were simply no match for them.

That Hun Feng, although only at the Two-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage, possessed combat power comparable to an ordinary Three-Star Dou Sheng; with just a few casual moves, over a dozen experts around him were killed.

"Hehe, the Demon Fire Origin shall be my Soul Clan's..."

Hun Feng grabbed the black pillar of light, and a look of wild joy could not help but appear on his face; he had not expected that snatching the Demon Fire Origin this time would be so smooth.

So what if the Ancient Clan brought two Four-Star Dou Sheng? In the end, it was still his Soul Clan that profited.

"Dammit, we cannot let the Demon Fire fall into the hands of the Soul Clan!"

At this moment, those few Four-Star Dou Sheng in the distance who had been contending with the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame were all extremely furious, yet they could not take action for the time being.

Having just defeated the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, most of them were somewhat weak and needed to recover.

"Young Master Gu Fei, doesn't your clan still have Gu Nanhai? Why doesn't he take action to snatch it?"

Huo Yao looked at Gu Fei in surprise.

As his voice fell, the Dou Sheng experts from the other clans were also somewhat curious; Gu Nanhai had not participated in the struggle just now, and his state was currently the best among them. If he were to take action with his Four-Star Dou Sheng cultivation, how could he give Hun Feng a chance? "Hehe, the rumors from the outside world that Young Master Gu Fei and Miss Xun Er are at odds are truly just rumors. That you could give up the Demon Fire Origin to ensure the safety of Miss Xun Er is admirable!"

Hun Miesheng's words were polite on the surface, but they were filled with mockery; if it were him, he would rather sacrifice Hun Feng to secure the Demon Fire.
