Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 393 Fiery Immortal
Wei Henian also saw Li Yunjing. Their eyes met across the distance, and they both saw deep hostility in each other's eyes.

But now is not the time to turn against each other.

The Supreme Elder and the three other elders are all here; it's not Li Yunjing and Wei Henian's turn to bicker.

Moreover, at this moment, led by the Supreme Elder, everyone arrived above the market and launched an attack on the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce"!

A big shot from the Shenxiao Dao Sect has arrived!
Everyone in the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" was trembling with fear!
Ao Lie's expression changed!
There was no turning back now. The vice president of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" led his men out of the chamber, stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Senior, this is a misunderstanding. My men were ignorant of the rules and had a conflict with your sect's disciples. I have come today to apologize!"

"Little beast!"

The Supreme Elder's eyes were sharp as he stared at Ao Lie, seeing through its true form at a glance. He sneered, "Apologize? If I hadn't come, I might have let you go if you apologized! Now, you've forced me to come out of seclusion. How can I vent my anger if I don't kill a few people!"

"Which Supreme Elder is this, with such a volatile temper?"

Even Li Yunjing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He stole a glance at the Supreme Elder, only to see that the old man had snow-white hair, a cold and stern face, and an aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Li Yunjing wanted to ask Elder Wu Cheng, but he was afraid that this important figure would overhear him.

Therefore, they could only suppress their curiosity and obediently stay aside, waiting for the big shot to take charge of this event.

"Senior, spare your life!"

Upon hearing the Supreme Elder's words, Ao Lie's face turned deathly pale. He knelt down with a thud and pleaded, "Senior, spare my life! I truly know I was wrong. Please give me a chance!"

The Supreme Elder snorted coldly, unmoved: "Hmph, if only you had known this would happen! You committed all sorts of evil deeds in the East Sea, thinking no one could stop you? Today I will show you that the majesty of my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' is inviolable!"

After saying that, the Supreme Elder raised his hand and waved it, and a beam of fire shot towards Ao Lie.

"don't want……"

Ao Lie was terrified and tried to dodge, but found that his body was bound by an invisible force and he could not move.

With a loud bang, the flames struck Ao Lie, unleashing a burst of intense light. Ao Lie screamed in agony and instantly transformed into his true form!

A fire dragon, a full thirty-three feet long, manifested itself in the marketplace.

Countless cracks appeared on its body. If it weren't for the fact that it was also a fire elemental, it would have burned Ao Lie to ashes in one go!
Such a horrific scene terrified the cultivators from all sides in the market.

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, two prodigies from the East China Sea, stood obediently behind Li Yunjing, trembling with fear!
Even if they have powerful connections, they are still afraid of the big shot, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

This person's style of doing things is completely different from that of the Five Elements True Man!
It's so cruel!
Despite Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing's tough stance, they were just putting on a show.

Between the two sides, it's like a stick trying to fight a wolf; both sides are afraid!
The Flying Cloud Sect, the Holy Sound Sect, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce have a good relationship, so it's impossible for them to completely break ties with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce for Li Yunjing's sake.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Ao Lie did not take Elder Wu Cheng's words seriously.

In Ao Lie's view, the Five Elements Immortal had just left the East Sea not long ago, so even if he had received a notification, it was impossible for him to come over.

Otherwise, wouldn't this important person have no shame?
In fact, just as Ao Lie predicted, it was impossible for the Five Elements Master to travel to the East Sea a second time!
Even if the Five Elements True Man doesn't come, the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" is not without people.

Just then, Master Liehuo emerged from seclusion.

The sect leader, Ming Lingchuan, told the Fiery Immortal about this matter.

The title of "Master of Blazing Fire" is not only due to his fire-attribute techniques, but also because of his fiery temper!

This Supreme Elder of the Shenxiao Dao Sect was a vanguard in his youth!
It was renowned throughout the entire "Southern Continent".

Upon learning that someone in the East Sea was bullying the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", True Man Liehuo, along with two elders and Wei Henian, directly descended to "Yingtian Prefecture" through a teleportation array. From "Yingtian Prefecture", they used the supernatural power of "Qiankun Xiao Nuoyi" to quickly travel to "Shenxiao Island".

"Not bad! The quality is good! It's a pity to kill it!"

At this moment, True Man Liehuo examined Ao Lie's true form, nodded slightly, and seemed very satisfied.

At this moment, many people from the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" rushed up to help, unleashing a barrage of spells and various magical treasures that bombarded True Man Liehuo.

However, those supernatural powers and magical treasures turned into liquid and fell down as soon as they entered the hundred-zhang range of the Fiery True Man.

No matter what kind of magical artifact or spiritual weapon it was, it all turned into liquid under the fiery aura of the Fiery Immortal!
"Vice President Ao, let's go!"

The other members of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" shouted in unison.

Ao Lie suddenly realized what was happening and jumped up, fleeing towards the edge of the island under the cover of the others.

"An interesting little crawler!"

Seeing this, Master Liehuo's face darkened, a hint of amusement in his expression: "Run! I've already placed a restriction within you. Even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't escape my grasp!"

There was one more thing Master Liehuo didn't say: Ao Lie was now a peak expert at the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm, and he also possessed the body of a dragon, sharing the same attributes as Master Liehuo.

He was already prepared to let Ao Lie go for now, and wait for this little beast to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. At that time, he would capture this dragon, refine it, extract its essence, and extend his lifespan again!
As for the other members of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce", they were not so lucky.

The elders and disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" took action and engaged in battle with the experts of the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce".

For a moment, magical lights flashed and shouts of killing shook the sky.

Li Yunjing also took out his "Five Dragon Wheels" and unleashed the Five Elements Divine Power, blasting it towards a master from the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce".

When the Foundation Establishment expert saw Li Yunjing attacking, he brandished his broadsword in an attempt to resist, but he was no match for him. With just one strike, he was reduced to ashes by Li Yunjing.

"That little rascal is getting better and better!"

Wei Henian watched Li Yunjing kill the enemy and felt extremely jealous.

He snorted and joined the fight, looking for an opportunity to show off.

As for Master Liehuo, he no longer made a move, but stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, his cold gaze sweeping over the entire scene.

His gaze lingered on Li Yunjing for a moment, and he nodded secretly, thinking, "This guy is capable!"

No wonder his old friends praised him repeatedly!
With the arrival of two Golden Core Realm elders from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" gradually fell into a disadvantageous position and was wiped out in no time.

All the resources of the entire "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" have been confiscated!
The news that Ao Lie ordered members of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" on "March Island" to ambush and kill more than a dozen disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was also officially disclosed by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

At this moment, the cultivators from all sides on "Shenxiao Island" finally learned what had happened.

Immediately, various opinions arose.

After the great war ended and peace was restored, a group of untrained monks gathered in the bustling market, discussing something animatedly.

One of the middle-aged rogue cultivators, dressed in a gray robe and with a full beard, was excited and waved his arms, saying, "This 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' is too audacious! They actually dare to attack the disciples of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' on their territory. Aren't they courting death?"

A slender, shrewd young rogue cultivator chimed in, "Indeed, although the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' is not powerful in the East Sea, it is a hegemon-level existence in the entire Southern Heaven Continent. The 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' is simply provoking a tyrant."

"Now look how the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' will handle this matter! The 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' has just gained another important figure at the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"I've heard that the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' also has Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but I wonder if they dare to fight against the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

"Heh heh! They wouldn't dare! No matter how powerful merchants are, they can't compare to sects that are constantly at war!"

That makes sense!

……

Meanwhile, in a luxurious pavilion on "Shenxiao Island," several shop owners were also secretly discussing the matter.

An elderly man dressed in a white Taoist robe, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The Shenxiao Taoist Sect's high-profile handling of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce this time is probably not just about the lives of those dozen or so disciples; there may be deeper considerations behind it."

"Hehe! Ao Lie is too arrogant!"

Another middle-aged man dressed in black with a cold expression laughed and said, "I don't know if he's lost his mind or what, but he openly murdered more than a dozen disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect. How could the Shenxiao Dao Sect possibly ignore it?"

"Hopefully this matter won't affect us!"

"It seems we need to keep a low profile for a while, and the encirclement of 'Star Moon Trading Company' should also come to an end!"

Several other shop owners also spoke up.

Clearly, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce's plan to blockade the Xingyue Trading Company was meticulous, but unfortunately, due to the mistakes made on the Sanyue Island side, it all fell apart!
They were truly natives of the East Sea, underestimating the power of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"!
They assumed that Li Linzi, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage 2 cultivator, could be easily killed by three cultivators of the same level.

The result was completely unexpected! ...

Amidst the undercurrents of various forces, some rivals of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce secretly rejoiced at the absence of a formidable opponent in this turmoil.

For example, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion on Shenxiao Island was overjoyed when he learned of the destruction of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. He said to his confidants, "The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce used to rely on its wealth and power to steal a lot of our business. Now that they've fallen, our Treasure Pavilion has a chance."

A few days later, some forces on the island began to divide up the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" shares, and the prices of "Star Moon Trading Company" returned to their original levels.

Wei Henian watched with resentment as "Star Moon Trading Company" grew bigger and bigger.

However, this was half of Li Yunjing's territory, and Li Yunjing's cultivation had already broken through to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the same level as his own, which made him even more hesitant to act rashly.

"Li Yunjing, you wait! I came to the East Sea because I discovered a treasure map and am going to unlock a treasure. Once I have the treasure, the day I successfully form my core will be your doom!"

Wei Henian clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his teeth grinding together, and the muscles on his face contorting slightly with anger.

Looking at the "Star Moon Trading Company" in the distance, Wei Henian vented his anger before his face calmed down.

"How exactly did Li Yunjing cultivate? How could he have progressed so quickly? What secrets does he hold? Perhaps killing Li Yunjing could reveal a huge secret from him!"

"But how do we kill him?"

"In a one-on-one fight, I'm afraid I'm no match for him!"

"Looking for someone? Who? We definitely wouldn't dare look for the 'Ten Thousand Laws Association'!"

"As for the sect itself, there's no one I can trust!"

"Do we have to ask the 'Yuanyang Dao Sect' for help?"

Wei Henian pondered to himself, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness at the thought of Ji Qiaoqiao, that bitch.

Ever since he became a Daoist partner with Ji Qiaoqiao of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect", this slut has been sucking his blood every day, getting so many benefits from him.
As a result, he couldn't get anything from that woman except her body!
Wei Henian was so badly humiliated that he was practically vomiting blood.

He thought he had hooked up with a rich heiress from the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" and would have plenty of resources to use in the future. But it turned out he was seduced by a gold digger, and Wei Henian was so disappointed that he almost jumped into the sea.

Wei Henian had always longed to become a core figure of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and gain unparalleled glory and power, but the appearance of Li Yunjing made his dream seem unattainable.

That bitch Ji Qiaoqiao shattered his dream once again.

Now, Wei Henian no longer dares to think about the position of the supreme sect leader. He only wants to form his core as soon as possible, and that will satisfy him.

This time, having obtained information about the East China Sea treasure map, Wei Henian didn't tell Ji Qiaoqiao, wanting to keep all the benefits to himself and hide them away.

Now, Wei Henian hesitated.

Inform Ji Qiaoqiao to ask her Daoist partner to arrange some experts to deal with Li Yunjing, or choose to go find the treasure alone. After succeeding, she can master her divine skills and then take revenge.
"What if I could orchestrate a scenario where the people of the 'Yuanyang Dao Sect' and Li Yunjing both suffer heavy losses and perish together?"

In order to turn the tide and regain public attention, Wei Henian decided to take a risk and secretly collude with external forces.

It would be difficult to contend with Li Yunjing on one's own; external forces must be relied upon.

After making up his mind, Wei Henian quietly left the East China Sea.

At this moment, Li Yunjing had no idea that his old rival had once again set his sights on killing him.

The business of "Star Moon Trading Company" is back on track.

Li Yunjing still needs to leave with Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing for a while, as the opening of the second and third stores is imminent.

"Brother Li, I never expected that your 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' would send out another patriarch. You are truly remarkable!"

After the three of them gathered together and discussed their departure for tomorrow, Wen Bin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Hehe! My 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' has quite a few Nascent Soul Realm ancestors."

Li Yunjing gave only this explanation; as for anything more, it was a secret and absolutely could not be told to anyone.

Of course, Li Yunjing didn't know the exact number either.

His source of information was still the information Elder Wu Cheng had given him last time.

“‘Shenxiao Dao Sect’, truly remarkable, worthy of being the number one Dao sect in the Southern Heaven Continent!”

Liao Wanqing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing felt a mix of emotions, and their gazes toward Li Yunjing were filled with envy.

Li Yunjing has a very powerful backer.

Unshakable!

Just then, someone came to the backyard.

"Li Yunjing, the Fiery Ancestor requests your presence!"

The person who came to deliver the message was Xu Xun.

"it is good!"

Li Yunjing's expression hardened, and he responded. Then he told Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing that the three of them would meet the next morning before they parted ways.

The rear hall of Shenxiao Temple.

Master Liehuo looked at Li Yunjing with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "Li Yunjing, you have performed well this time, but the path of cultivation is long and arduous, and you cannot slack off in the slightest."

"Yes! This disciple will follow the teachings of the Ancestor!"

Li Yunjing was a little puzzled. It was the first time he had met this old ancestor, and he didn't know what he wanted to see him about.

"Ok!"

Master Liehuo nodded and asked, "Do you know why I've come to see you?"

"This disciple does not know!"

Li Yunjing shook his head. How could he possibly know what those important people were thinking?
"The situation in the East China Sea is complicated right now. I order you to go to 'Lingyuan Island' to explore the mysterious ruins there. It is said that the ruins contain the legacy left by an ancient powerful being. If you can obtain it, it will not only greatly benefit your own strength, but also add to the foundation of my 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'."

"Master Liehuo said softly."

"Lingyuan Island?"

Li Yunjing was completely bewildered; he had never heard of it before!

Li Yunjing thought for a moment, then solemnly bowed to Master Liehuo and asked, "I dare not disobey the Ancestor's orders, but I know nothing about 'Lingyuan Island.' I wonder if you could enlighten me?"

"hey-hey!"

Master Liehuo chuckled twice, and unexpectedly said, "You brought this trouble upon yourself, don't you know?"

"what?"

Li Yunjing was even more confused. What did he know?
What trouble have I gotten myself into?
"'Tianluo Dao Sect'!"

Master Liehuo warned, "You've killed people from the Tianluo Dao Sect, and you've offended them to the core! In that case, the sect's intention is for you to go to one of the Tianluo Dao Sect's secret realms, go on a killing spree, and plunder its resources!"

"The location of this secret realm is 'Lingyuan Island'!"

"I see!"

After hearing what Master Liehuo said, Li Yunjing suddenly realized what was going on.

“Lingyuan Island is located deep in the East China Sea. I will arrange for you to enter it. The rest, how you change your identity and blend in, is up to you! After the mission is over, I will meet you near Lingyuan Island. Do you dare to come out?”

Master Liehuo used a provocation tactic.

"Ancestor, your provocation won't work on me!"

Li Yunjing chuckled, shook his head, and asked again, "Why me? Can I do it alone?"
