350. Chapter 350: Arriving at the Yan Family

Ten days later, a small boat landed in front of Emperor Flame City. The group of high-rank Gu cultivators who got off the boat immediately attracted the attention of all the Gu cultivators in front of the city gate.

"Eighty-one Spirit Sea Realm Gu cultivators, eight Gu Kings, including two Gu King peaks. With such a terrifying lineup, what is their intention in coming to Emperor Flame City?"

"This group of people is clearly coming with bad intentions. With so many experts, it's enough to flatten any family in the city. Something big is probably going to happen soon."

The crowd of Gu cultivators at the city gate discussed spiritedly, each showing a solemn expression, and from time to time, Gu cultivators ran back to notify their respective families.

Yan Family.

"What exactly happened? Why was a Level One Martial Law Order issued? This is a martial law order that can only be issued if the clan is facing the danger of extermination."

A burly man walked into the conference room with a gloomy face. At this time, the conference room was already full of people, among whom four old men releasing the aura of Gu Kings were sitting in the very middle position, their expressions full of solemnity.

"Clan Head, a large group of experts just walked in from outside the city. There are eight Gu Kings, including two Gu King peaks."

One of the old men releasing the aura of a mid-stage Gu King said with concern.

"Just this? Even if a lot of Gu Kings walk in from outside the city, it doesn't necessarily mean they are looking for us, right? Perhaps they are looking for someone else, or perhaps they are just passing by, all are possible."

Yan Tiexin walked over, although he spoke lightly, his expression couldn't help but become nervous.

"Clan Head, the leader is Master Sun. Master Sun is a very famous alchemist in the Huiyue Empire. You should be very familiar with him." The old man said solemnly.

Hearing this, Yan Tiexin finally focused his gaze, frowned deeply, and quickly walked to the head seat and sat down.

He wasn't stupid. If the leader was someone else, then perhaps the target wasn't the Yan Family.

If the leader was a very famous alchemist, then he had to be nervous.

Because he had a type of Heavenly Fire, and Heavenly Fire was a presence that easily attracted the covetousness of alchemists.

At this time, an alchemist walked into Emperor Flame City with a large group of experts; the target was eight out of ten the Sunset Divine Flame in his hands.

Yan Tiexin's face slowly turned iron-blue, and he pondered: "Don't hold any fluke mentality. This group of people is definitely coming for us."

"Our Yan Clan's ancestors died in that accident, and now our clan's strength is simply not enough to cope with so many experts. This disaster, our clan is in danger."

"Ask for help from the other families in the city? Since it has come to this, we can only ask others for help."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "The other four major families in the city won't care about us."

"Our Yan Family is the number one clan in Emperor Flame City, occupying most of the resources in the city. They wish for our clan to be destroyed so they can divide our clan's territory."

"Asking them to send people to support us is simply impossible."

"I guess they will only send some low-realm Gu cultivators; not a single Gu King will come."

Yan Tiexin rubbed his aching head and sighed: "How could I not know what you said? But even if there is only one in ten thousand hope, I want to try."

"Send people to go. It's better than doing nothing."

"By the way, notify the law enforcement of the Yan Ting Empire about this matter with a communication talisman. These people are killing in the city of the Yan Ting Empire, which has already provoked the majesty of the empire. Law enforcement will definitely not ignore it."

"I know that distant water cannot quench near thirst, and law enforcement definitely cannot arrive immediately, but it is a glimmer of hope after all."

Yan Tiexin closed his eyes powerlessly, his fingers tapping on the table constantly, as if he was struggling to think of a way to break the situation.

Just at this moment, a hearty laugh came from outside the door: "Hehe! Clan Head Yan, long time no see. We came uninvited; you won't mind, right?"

Hearing this voice, Yan Tiexin's fingers tapping on the table stopped, and his eyes opened instantly.

Upon seeing the face of the person walking in, his heart sank.

"Wind King, Thunder King, I didn't expect the ones coming would be you two."

"Master Sun actually managed to invite you two."

Seeing the two Gu King peaks walking into the conference room, Yan Tiexin's mood was heavy.

Wind King and Thunder King were not ordinary Gu King peaks; they were both extremely top-tier existences among Gu King peaks and had a huge reputation throughout the Central Earth.

In the Gu World, basically everyone with a nickname was an invincible existence among their peers. Wind King excelled in using wind, and Thunder King excelled in using thunder; both were very thorny existences.

If someone else had come today, he might have been able to maneuver, but if it were these two, then there would be big trouble today, Yan Tiexin sighed inwardly.

"Master Sun, in order to obtain the Heavenly Fire, you truly went to great lengths. You actually even invited Wind King and Thunder King. You must have spent a lot to invite these two."

Yan Tiexin still sat in his original seat without moving, and at this time, he looked at the goat-bearded old man who had just walked into the conference room.

Master Sun stroked his goat beard and smiled: "It seems Clan Head Yan has already guessed our intentions."

"Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush."

"I inadvertently heard some days ago that your clan found the Sunset Divine Flame in a certain place."

"You also know that Heavenly Fire only exerts its greatest effect in the hands of an alchemist. Every type of Heavenly Fire has a fatal attraction to an alchemist."

"I have been searching for it for a long time, until my hair and temples are gray."

"I wonder if Clan Head Yan can part with it and let this Sunset Divine Flame to me?"

"I naturally won't take it for free. I am willing to take out a three-hundred-year longevity pill to trade with you. I wonder what you think?"

Hearing this, many Gu cultivators in the room gasped, revealing burning gazes.

That was a longevity pill that could increase longevity by three hundred years; who wasn't envious? As long as it was a normal person, they couldn't resist the temptation of increasing longevity.

They didn't expect Master Sun to actually intend to trade the Heavenly Fire with Yan Tiexin using a three-hundred-year longevity pill.

Such a trade was absolutely full of sincerity.

Although the value of Heavenly Fire was definitely higher than a three-hundred-year longevity pill, if most people were to choose between the two, they would choose the three-hundred-year longevity, not the Heavenly Fire.

After all, the mortality rate of swallowing Heavenly Fire was extremely high, and even if the Heavenly Fire was in hand, it couldn't be used, which was far less practical than a three-hundred-year longevity pill.

Hearing that Master Sun had a three-hundred-year longevity pill, the eight Gu Kings he brought also revealed a trace of greed.

Only Yan Tiexin remained calm when he heard about this three-hundred-year longevity pill, and said calmly: "I wonder how you found out that I obtained the Sunset Divine Flame."

Yan Tiexin swept his gaze toward the Yan Clan high-level officials in the conference room, and the cold light in his eyes flashed and disappeared.

"Haven't you already guessed it? Why do you need to ask me?"

Sensing Yan Tiexin's gaze, Master Sun smiled slightly, and then said again: "How I know that Clan Head Yan has the Sunset Divine Flame is not important. I wonder if Clan Head Yan is considering it now? Are you willing to make this trade with me?"

Everyone in the room looked at the Clan Head, waiting for his answer.

After Yan Tiexin was silent for a long time, he raised his head and looked at him: "The conditions you offered are indeed very tempting and very sincere. If I say I'm not moved, that would be absolute self-deception."

"However, the Sunset Divine Flame has a great effect on me, so I cannot trade with you no matter what."

"So please return."

Hearing what Yan Tiexin said, many people were somewhat stunned. They really didn't expect Yan Tiexin to refuse.

Although Master Sun didn't say any threatening words and his tone was very polite, the situation now was already very obvious. If Yan Tiexin didn't agree to the trade, then this battle would definitely be fought.

Master Sun took out a three-hundred-year longevity pill, which already gave enough face. The Yan Family could have avoided this crisis without losing the clan's dignity. They really couldn't understand why Yan Tiexin would refuse.

Even the Yan Clan group showed expressions of confusion.

Just at this moment, Yan Tiexin suddenly released the aura of a Gu King peak, making the group of Gu cultivators behind Master Sun change their faces, all secretly saying that Yan Tiexin wasn't a late-stage Gu King? When did he break through to a Gu King peak?

At this time, Master Sun's heart sank. Yan Tiexin had actually broken through to a Gu King peak. Then with the blessing of Heavenly Fire, he wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

However, he predicted the enemy generously. The Gu King peaks he found were the famous Wind King and Thunder King. Even if Yan Tiexin broke through to a Gu King peak, the winning percentage of this battle was still very high.

Was this the confidence Yan Tiexin dared to refuse him? Master Sun wondered inwardly.

"Can you tell me the reason why you must keep the Heavenly Fire? This thing can only increase some combat power for you; it has no more effect on you, right?" Master Sun pondered for a moment and asked in confusion.

If it wasn't a last resort, he really didn't want to rob by force.

He was a famous alchemist master, very cherishing of his own feathers. If it wasn't a last resort, he really didn't want to end up with the evil name of a robber.

Furthermore, this was in the territory of the Yan Ting Empire. Killing in the city of the Yan Ting Empire was openly provoking the laws of a country, which would inevitably lead to no small amount of trouble.

"Sorry! No! Please return!"

Yan Tiexin shook his head, his tone very tough.

Master Sun's face turned ugly, and he slowly clenched his fists. This was forcing him.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense.

Just at this moment, Long Xuan soul-transmitted: "Master Sun, this person is not the real Yan Tiexin; this is just a foreign avatar of his."

"If I'm not mistaken, he intends to fight this battle, then fake his death to escape. The fact that he has Heavenly Fire will never attract other people's covetousness again."

"He really has a good plan. However, his heart is truly ruthless. He did this, which will inevitably cause many people in the clan to die, and it's not impossible for them to be beaten to the point of being crippled."

"He is using the lives of all the clansmen to exchange for his own interests. He is truly a selfish person."

Long Xuan withdrew his gaze toward Yan Tiexin. He was the ancestor of playing with avatars. Under the Heavenly Mechanism Eye, no avatar could hide from his eyes.

Yan Tiexin's avatar could deceive everyone present, but it couldn't deceive him alone.

After seeing through that this Yan Clan head was an avatar, Long Xuan immediately guessed his plan. He wanted to sacrifice the lives of a large number of clansmen to protect his Heavenly Fire. He was a ruthless person.

Hearing Long Xuan's soul transmission, Master Sun was shocked inwardly, and his gaze looked at him vaguely.

At this time, he finally realized, and finally knew why Yan Tiexin's attitude was so tough.

It was just that the fact that this Yan Tiexin was an avatar wasn't even seen by Wind King and Thunder King. This small Spirit Sea Realm Gu cultivator saw it? It was truly hard for him to believe.

But since it had come to this, Master Sun was too lazy to ask him carefully how he discovered it, and immediately soul-transmitted to ask: "Then can you see where his main body is?"

Long Xuan naturally knew where Yan Tiexin's main body was. Wherever someone's progress was the same as this foreign avatar, then this person was undoubtedly his main body.

At this time, this main body was hiding in some secret room underground.

But he wouldn't just point out Yan Tiexin's location like this. It was enough for him to hint this much.

Continuing to hint would only expose more of his mind-boggling abilities, which wasn't a good thing for him.

So Long Xuan said: "I don't have perspective vision, how would I know where his main body is."

"However, we arrived too suddenly. Yan Tiexin's main body definitely didn't have time to escape. At this time, he must be hiding in some hidden place in the clan."

"We just need to search patiently and we will definitely find him." (End of chapter)
