Chapter 343: Evil Thoughts Invite Evil Responses

The seventh day of the first lunar month in the 25th year of Yongxing was the most thrilling day the people of the capital had ever spent. The five great sacred lands shook simultaneously, and above the firmament, the five great divine trees flashed at the same time, with sword energy crisscrossing above them.

This scene was even more shocking than the explosion at the Artifact Refining Workshop some time ago.

For a time, the hearts of the people in the capital were unsettled.

The consequence of the previous Artifact Refining Workshop explosion was that everyone felt insecure; but this time, the simultaneous flashing of the five great divine trees incited the most pious yearning and desire, including among ordinary people.

Even though a day had passed, the people in the capital were still discussing the magnificent scene of the five great divine trees appearing together yesterday, all looking toward the outside of the Nancheng, guessing what had happened there.

"Look, what is that?"

The cultivators gathered in the Nancheng suddenly pointed at the sky and shouted loudly.

In the southern sky, a ball of red flame appeared. The flame streaked across the firmament like a meteor, galloping toward the capital.

"Oh my~"

Amidst the shocking exclamations of the crowd, behind the red flame, a behemoth condensed from bloodline power appeared.

It was a majestic white eagle.

In an instant, the red flame arrived above the Nancheng, and the white eagle also flew in, its two sharp claws fiercely grabbing toward the red flame, in a posture of swearing to tear the red flame to pieces.

From far away, everyone felt the chill on the eagle's claws that would tear everything apart.

"Whoosh~"

White light suddenly appeared, and the brilliant glow made everyone unable to open their eyes. Even the five Xuanyuan Generals following closely behind the white eagle subconsciously looked away, not daring to look directly.

Accompanied by the white light was an unbearable high temperature that could burn the sky and boil the sea.

"Ah~"

The shrill scream resounded through the sky.

The five Xuanyuan Generals watched in shock as the white sword light, carrying the power to burn and destroy all things, pierced through the white eagle, splitting it in two. Immediately after, the white eagle, split in two, ignited with white flames.

By the time Wei Zhenjie and the other Spirit Platform stage cultivators, who were a step behind, arrived, the red flame had long since disappeared, and the white eagle had been completely swallowed by the white flames. Even if someone wanted to rescue it, they wouldn't know where to start.

The white flames quickly disappeared, completely taking away the white eagle condensed from bloodline power.

"Duke of Liang!"

A Spirit Platform stage cultivator was shocked, flew to the ground rapidly, and walked quickly toward the Duke of Liang, who was lying on the ground motionless.

Except for the five Xuanyuan Generals, others, including Wei Zhenjie, followed, flying to the ground to investigate the situation.

The Duke of Liang's eyes were tightly closed, his face as pale as paper, and his features distorted. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still heaving, everyone would have thought he had passed away.

Looking at the Duke of Liang's miserable appearance, everyone was horrified.

The Duke of Liang and Hua Changxi at most fought from a distance, how could he be so severely injured?!

Fear surged in Chu Tianxun's eyes. After taking a deep breath, he sighed: "Hua Changxi, this junior, is too ruthless... The blood in the Duke of Liang's body has almost been burned away."

With all his blood gone, if the Duke of Liang weren't a Spirit Platform stage cultivator, he would have lost his life long ago!

Everyone present heard this and gasped.

Chu Tianxun continued to sigh: "The Yin family's bloodline inheritance divine ability, I'm afraid the Duke of Liang won't be able to continue to use it in the future."

This point also horrified him.

Great Sun Divine Flame...

Hua Changxi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, could actually control the Great Sun Divine Flame!

This was completely beyond his imagination.

"Hiss~"

Hearing that Hua Changxi had actually burned and severed the Duke of Liang's bloodline inheritance divine ability, many Spirit Platform cultivators were so shocked they couldn't maintain their composure.

Chu Tianxun continued: "Cultivators have three powers in one: spiritual power, soul power, and bloodline power. With the blood burned away and the bloodline power severed, even if he takes heaven-defying treasures to restore blood supply and circulation, the Duke of Liang's physical body won't be strong in the future."

"The Duke of Liang... I'm afraid he can no longer withstand the test of heavenly thunder."

In other words, the Duke of Liang was stuck at the Spirit Platform stage.

As soon as these words came out, it really scared some Spirit Platform cultivators into a shiver.

The Duke of Ying, who was on good terms with the Duke of Liang, had a face as gloomy as water, gritting his teeth and saying: "Hua Changxi is too ruthless. She has directly severed the Duke of Liang's path of cultivation!"

Wei Zhenjie heard this and laughed: "So, according to the Duke of Ying, Hua Changxi should have stood there motionless, waiting for the Duke of Liang to kill her?"

Duke of Ying: "..."

Wei Zhenjie restrained his smile and looked at the Spirit Platform stage cultivators present: "Good thoughts invite good responses, evil thoughts invite evil responses. From the moment you have evil thoughts, you must be prepared to be swallowed by evil responses."

"Everyone, you should pay more attention to cultivating your body and mind. Only with discipline in body and mind can you reach the Great Dao."

These words were clearly directed at someone, and the Spirit Platform stage cultivators present chose to remain silent.

Wei Zhenjie stopped looking at them and looked up at the five Xuanyuan Generals in mid-air.

Sensing Wei Zhenjie's gaze, the five Xuanyuan Generals moved their eyes away from the bright sun above the firmament. Just when Hua Changxi slashed that sword, they didn't know if it was their illusion, but they found that the Sun Star seemed to flicker.

The sword in Hua Changxi's hand is not simple, it can actually trigger the Sun Star!

And there is Hua Changxi's fire control ability, which is truly amazing. The full power of the Great Sun Divine Flame was directed at the Duke of Liang, and apart from letting the people of the Nancheng experience a baptism of high temperature, it did not damage anything else.

Lu Zhenting and Wei Zhenjie looked at each other and understood his meaning, immediately saying loudly: "Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to fight in Xuanyuan City. Violators will be captured by the Xuanyuan Army themselves and have their cultivation abolished!"

After speaking, the five looked toward the east of the capital, then turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the same time, in the Medical Department on the east side of the capital, the red flame that tore through the sky fell from the sky and landed directly on the Alchemy Tripod Altar plaza.

In an instant, the temperature of the Medical Department was raised by a large margin.

Everyone in the Medical Department was drawn out by this movement.

In the old courtyard of the plaza, Gu Xing, thinking that danger was coming, summoned his Divine Wood Staff and rushed out, but stopped in his tracks after seeing the ball of flame.

The Sacred Guard also rushed to the plaza at the first opportunity but didn't dare to get too close.

There was no other reason; the extreme Yang power in the flame was too terrifying. They were all soul bodies without physical bodies and couldn't withstand the power of the flame.

On Alchemy Origin Peak, Ye Lingxuan and her group also quickly took out their weapons and flew into mid-air, looking at the Alchemy Tripod Altar plaza with caution.

People on Divine Grain Peak, Qingyao Peak, and Profound Yellow Peak were the same.

"That is..."

Below the Alchemy Tripod Altar, the red flame gradually weakened, revealing the figure wrapped in the flame.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the person who caused the Medical Department to shake was actually Hua Changxi.

At this moment, Hua Changxi was kneeling on one knee on the ground with her head down, one hand propping up her knee, and the other hand propping up the Floating Light Sword burning with the Great Sun Divine Flame.

"Drip~"

"Drip~"

"Drip~"

Fresh blood flowed from Hua Changxi's mouth and dripped onto the ground. At the same time, her back was also constantly oozing scarlet blood.

On her back, there was a hideous wound with flesh and blood rolled up, spanning her entire back.

When counterattacking the Spirit Platform cultivator who had triggered his bloodline divine ability to kill her, her speed was still not fast enough, and she still took a hit head-on.

Up to this moment, Hua Changxi still had lingering fears and could still feel the tearing force from the eagle's claws.

If it weren't for her strong physical body, she was afraid she would have been torn in two!

After the surging blood energy in her body calmed down, Hua Changxi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and slowly stood up.

As soon as she stood up, she noticed the gazes shooting from all directions.

Hua Changxi scanned around and turned her attention to the Floating Light Sword in her hand.

Because she wasn't sure if she could repel the Spirit Platform cultivator behind her with one strike, she didn't withdraw the Great Sun Divine Flame when she escaped.

Now that she was back at the Alchemy Saint Hall, the five great sacred lands were in the same camp. She thought that the Spirit Platform cultivator wouldn't dare to really run to the Alchemy Saint Hall to kill her, and Wei Zhenjie probably wouldn't sit idly by.

The next moment, everyone saw the white flame lingering on the long sword in Hua Changxi's hand change suddenly, turning into seven flames of different colors, which then sank into Hua Changxi's body one after another.

After withdrawing the strange flames, Hua Changxi looked at the bloodstains on the ground, waved her hand, and a wisp of flame fell, and the bloodstains instantly vanished. Then, under everyone's gaze, whether probing or solemn, she drove her spiritual cloud and flew onto Alchemy Origin Peak. ===== CHAPTER 344 =====
