Chapter 667

"Hmph! That may not be the case!"

"Then where exactly did this Holy Flame escape to? Are there any leads?"

"That, I'm afraid, is unknown. However, after several Heavenly Men spent a long time searching the Tailin Mountain Range and still came up empty-handed, they all left."

"Now, more and more cultivators have gotten wind of it, and quite a few have already headed to the Tailin Mountain Range or nearby to try their luck, hoping to stumble upon some fate and catch sight of this Holy Flame."

"Oh? In that case, I really ought to go take a look."

"With my luck, I just might obtain this flame. Once the Holy Flame is upon me, surely it won't be long before I advance to the Inner Sect, step into the True Inheritance line, become Sect Master, marry a princess, and reach the peak of life—just thinking about it gets me a little excited!"

Hearing this, the light that had dimmed in Jiang Yan's eyes once again brightened.

Since the Holy Flame hadn't fallen into anyone else's hands—

Didn't that mean he still had a chance to obtain it?

The moment he thought that subduing this Holy Flame could raise the grade of the Flame Art and bring a tremendous change to his own strength and foundation, how could he possibly still have any interest in sitting here eating?

So, eager to get there sooner to try his luck, he immediately rose from his seat, tossed a few spirit stones onto the table, left the inn, and after asking directions along the way, headed toward the Tailin Mountain Range.

Now, he had to get there before anyone else claimed the Holy Flame and snatch it first!

After that, he could begin focusing on improving his alchemy.

At this moment, Zhou Lao in the ring, seeing Jiang Yan's unusual excitement, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The Young Master truly has overwhelming fortune.

This whole journey, whatever he lacked just showed up, as if favored by fate—his luck is almost inconceivably powerful!

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a vague premonition in the unseen depths of his heart.

Perhaps this Holy Flame that no one has been able to obtain will fall into the Young Master's hands?

Not long after.

In the Great Qin Dynasty, within the National Advisor's residence.

Yuwen Cheng, disguised as Yuwen Feng, sat cross-legged on the ground.

He pretended to cultivate, carefully concealing his true identity.

For a powerhouse of the Myriad Manifestation Realm, sitting for several months was trivial.

Yet although his body was fine, his heart was filled with unease.

His own father had gone to the Northern Caverns and hadn't returned in many months.

Even though he had immense faith in his father's strength—

At this moment, he still couldn't help but worry, afraid something might have happened to his father.

After all, after such a long time without any news coming back, one really couldn't help but overthink.

Just as Yuwen Cheng's heart was full of worry—

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from outside the door.

Yuwen Cheng quickly gathered his thoughts, his brow furrowing.

To maintain his disguise and avoid exposure, he didn't even dare to extend his spiritual sense, and could only secretly guess who had come.

Then, a respectful voice came: "Greetings, my lord, the National Advisor!"

Yuwen Cheng, imitating his father's tone, said in a low voice: "Didn't I already say? No matter what happens, do not come disturb my closed-door cultivation!"

As the words rang out—

The servant kneeling outside the door was startled, badly frightened!

His expression flustered, he hurriedly explained: "My lord, someone from the Cangwu Merchant Guild has come. That person says there's an important matter they need to discuss with you in person."

"I was about to refuse, but that person possesses the cultivation base of the Sun Wheel Realm—none of us could stop them!"

"To prevent them from forcing their way in and causing needless casualties, I truly had no choice but to come find you......."

Hearing this, Yuwen Cheng was taken aback.

He had not expected the Cangwu Merchant Guild to send someone at such an extremely sensitive time.

He instinctively didn't want to meet them, but behind the Cangwu Merchant Guild stood the Cangwu Jiang Clan, backed by Jiang Daoxuan!

One must know what a terrifying figure that Jiang Daoxuan is.

A suspected great power of the Primordial Spirit Realm—his strength is such that even his own father felt inferior!

With such a terrifying background behind the Cangwu Merchant Guild, within the entire Great Qin, which foolhardy force would dare to slight them?

Unless absolutely necessary, one should always show them the courtesy of three steps' deference!

Thinking of this, Yuwen Cheng instantly understood that today he had no choice but to meet them.

So he took a deep breath and shifted his tone: "In that case, bring that person here........"

At these words—

The servant outside the door instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

He sighed that the National Advisor was indeed a reasonable man and hadn't made things difficult for him.

Immediately after, he hurriedly rose and left the spot.

Not long after.

The servant led a man in a black robe to the front of Yuwen Cheng's room.

Seeing the person delivered, the servant dared not linger and left at once.

Only the black-robed man remained.

He slightly raised his head, looked toward the tightly shut great door ahead, cupped his hands, and said: "I am the garrison commander of Cangwu City, Mo Han. Entrusted by someone, I ask that you make a trip to Cangwu Mountain."

"As for the doubts in your heart, those above can understand, so they specially gave me a letter to hand to you, to clear up your confusion."

Hearing this, the doubts in Yuwen Cheng's heart only grew thicker.

He then said: "Please come in."

The words had barely fallen when Mo Han pushed the door open and entered.

He swiftly took out a letter from within the Purple Mansion space, and using Yuan force to form a palm, sent it before Yuwen Cheng.

Seeing this, Yuwen Cheng frowned, extended his palm, and took the letter in passing.

He opened it to look.

He saw that the words above were not many, even short to an extent beyond imagination!

"The matter of the Northern Cavern is settled; come quickly to Cangwu Mountain to find me!"

Though the words were few, the content they revealed was extremely much.

It was like a thunderbolt striking Yuwen Cheng's heart, booming loudly!

Although there was no signature.

But based on the other's tone, and the specific mention of the Northern Cavern matter.

He could be certain that this letter had been sent by his own father!

Father is at Cangwu Mountain?

Realizing this, Yuwen Cheng suddenly turned his head to look at Mo Han.

Understanding the matter was of great importance and absolutely could not be Ma Hu.

He immediately said: "I can go with you to Cangwu Mountain for a trip, but before that, please wait a moment, allow me to summon one more person."
