Chapter 1489: The Secluded Master!

"Ah……"

Liu Ying's whole body was covered by the power of spiritual fire, from head to toe the spiritual fire burned, she jumped up and down like a monkey, her face full of disbelief, "What kind of spiritual fire is this!!"

Not only her body, but even her inner world was invaded!

She is a Dao Sovereign Realm cultivator, how can she not even block the spiritual fire of the Dao Void Realm?

Everyone was stunned.

This Ji Yue is also a ruthless person!

Just raising his hand, he wanted to put Liu Ying to death!

Above the Void, Elder Sun Qianfeng furrowed his brows slightly, "Both Ji Yue and Liu Ying have fiery temperaments; they are not easy to deal with."

But what the Valley Master and his son like most is this kind of fierceness.

They greatly enjoy the process of taming a fierce woman.

"Ji Yue, Liu Ying, there is a place of punishment awaiting you later; the more you resist, the more excited the Valley Master and his son become."

Sun Qianfeng felt moved in his heart; he had seen too many women become the Valley Master and his son's playthings.

"Save the princess!"

Several Dao Protectors originally rushed to kill Ji Fuyao, but hearing Liu Ying's miserable scream, they immediately retreated, their faces turning extremely ferocious, "Damn it!"

But it was already too late.

That spiritual fire was too powerful; it directly refined Liu Ying's body, turning her directly into ashes.

Directly exterminated!

Several Dao Protectors gazed at the pile of warm ashes before them, killing intent on their faces reaching its peak, they shouted hoarsely, "Princess!"

Everyone was stunned.

Even Sun Qianfeng couldn't help but stand up.

"Liu Ying is dead!"

This happened in the span of a breath.

Several Dao Protectors immediately turned and charged at Ji Fuyao, shouting in shrill voices, "I will kill you! You have ruined the hope of the Great Xuan Empire's rise!"

Ji Fuyao wore a Huo Se Chang Qun, her exquisite face showing no ripple.

At that moment, above the void, a cold voice sounded.

"Who do you want dead?"

Lu Xuan activated that ancient sword talisman; in an instant, several sword qi shot downward.

"Hiss—"

Several Great Xuan Empire's Dao Protectors were directly pinned to the spot by sword qi.

A blood hole appeared in their chests.

Blood spurted out!

In the snap of a finger, they were instantly killed!

Seeing this, the spectators who had been watching immediately retreated, not seeing who had made the move.

This feeling is the most terrifying!

Ji Yue's Dao Protectors are so arrogant, daring to kill people at will in the territory of Fire Cloud Valley!

Suddenly, above the void, on the great cloud vessel of the Great Xuan Empire, another dozen or so elders with deep auras appeared, wearing eunuch robes; the leading man made an orchid finger gesture, furious beyond restraint, letting out an effeminate roar.

"You charlatan pretending to be a god! Get out and fight us!"

On him emanated the aura of a Nine-Star Dao Sovereign Realm, deep as an abyss, vast as the sea; though male-bodied, he lacked male organs, his body exuding a yin-cold chill.

"Hiss!"

A sword qi shot up into the sky at extreme speed; this old eunuch tried to dodge but could not react in time.

In an instant, the sword qi pierced his brow.

His corpse plummeted straight down from the sky!

Everyone was utterly shocked.

"Excellency, aren't you bullying people too much?" The voices of the other Dao Protectors already showed some retreat.

Lu Xuan did not answer.

Still, several sword qi shot forth.

"Hiss—"

Above the Great Xuan Empire, wherever the sword qi reached, a corpse fell down!

In just a few breaths, atop that ancient cloud vessel, the Great Xuan Empire was utterly destroyed, with no one left alive.

Know that this sword talisman can slay a Five-Star Dao Actual Realm; a mere High-Star Dao Sovereign Realm can be slaughtered with ease.

However, the sword rhythm within the talisman diminishes with each use.

Lu Xuan put away the sword talisman, still concealing his form; this instead made everyone feel as if facing a formidable foe, a sense of creepiness.

Between heaven and earth, fell into deadly silence.

Everyone was stunned.

At first they merely watched for fun, observing the clash between Liu Ying and Ji Yue.

Who would have thought that suddenly so many High-Star Dao Sovereign Realm cultivators would die!

The Great Xuan Empire, this ambitious ancient Dao lineage, was directly overturned by Ji Yue's Dao Protectors!

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, gathering all the scattered storage rings in the air, including that Great Xuan cloud vessel, and they all fell before Ji Fuyao.

"Thank you, Master."

Ji Fuyao collected all the storage rings, her expression as usual.

Sun Qianfeng gave a dry cough, his mind went blank; at that moment, the Grand Elder's voice sounded in his mind, "Sun Qianfeng, you'd better not provoke Ji Yue's Dao Protector. Even I have no confidence surviving against him."

"What?" Sun Qianfeng was somewhat shocked, "What should we do now? Liu Ying is dead; when the young master returns he will surely blame me!"

The Grand Elder sneered, "Ji Yue is not a hundred, even a thousand times better than Liu Ying? On the contrary, you have achieved merit."

Sun Qianfeng understood.

His only way out now is to lure Ji Yue into Fire Cloud Valley and wait for the Valley Master and his father to return.

The Grand Elder indeed had other thoughts, "If the Bai Li Batian father and son move against Ji Yue, seeking to seize her Yin Essence and tame her into an obedient human pet, I wonder whether that Dao Protector will intervene? If the Bai Li father and son die, control of Fire Cloud Valley will fall into my hands."

"However, though that Dao Protector dares to kill persons of the Great Xuan Empire, he may not dare to kill the Valley Master. After all, the Valley Master is a person appointed by the Longevity Sect; killing him would be tantamount to offending the Longevity Sect."

It seems I need to secretly stir up their killing intent.

The Grand Elder keenly perceived that this was a good opportunity for him to rise.

Soon, Sun Qianfeng stepped into the void and extended an invitation to Ji Fuyao, "Ji Yue, since Liu Ying is dead, you can take her place; no examination needed, you may directly join Fire Cloud Valley."

Ji Fuyao bowed slightly.

Sun Qianfeng symbolically glanced at the others, "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone's heads shook wildly.

What objections could they dare to have?

That person lurking in the darkness kills without blinking; who among them would dare to provoke him?

Sun Qianfeng summoned the other elders to conduct the examination, while he brought Ji Fuyao into the interior of Fire Cloud Valley, with Lu Xuan closely following.

Inside Fire Cloud Valley, it is entirely a sea of spiritual fire, divided into five layers.

It is completely structured like a furnace.

The first layer is a cultivation ground for the Dao Void Realm, the second layer is the Low-Star Dao Lord Realm, and so on sequentially; the fifth layer is where the Star Ripple Strange Fire resides, the core of Fire Cloud Valley, accessible only to those of the Dao Substance Realm.

In the boundless sea of fire, numerous Refining Insect Grand Formations are situated.

"Hiss—"

Crimson and five-colored Divine Light constantly intertwined, the rich insect power flowing everywhere; looking around, many ten-transformed insects and nine-transformed insects were continuously being refined.

Lu Xuan activated his Insight Eye to observe; he had to admit these Refining Insect Grand Formations were extremely exquisite.

This is a formation pattern accomplishment of the Dao Fruit Realm!

Lu Xuan recorded all the formation patterns, to be handed over to Fang Yuan later.

Aside from a few minor flaws, these grand formations are nearly perfect, making excellent use of Fire Cloud Valley's heavenly and earthly momentum.

Everything is orderly.

Lu Xuan had Ji Fuyao ask who constructed this grand formation.

Elder Sun Qianfeng's eyes showed reverence as he explained, "Anyone who descends here will be stunned by this grand formation! The Refining Insect Grand Formation here was personally set up by the Youyou Elder!"
