"I am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect! The Liehuo Sect and the Ten Thousand Sword Sect are both sects of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country; we are allies. Yet, you assist an enemy nation and capture an ally; doesn’t this breach our rules?"

When Chu Feng heard that these people wanted to hand him over to Panlong Heavenly Emperor, he was greatly alarmed.

If there is anyone in the world who most wants to kill Chu Feng, it would definitely be the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

"Nonsense rules! Wherever it is, strength decides everything. What does capturing a single disciple from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect even mean?"

"Do you really think that the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country will stand up for you? Or do you believe that the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, for the sake of one disciple, will sever ties with my Liehuo Sect?"

The Liehuo Sect Master had considered everything before making a move.

"Let me tell you, at that time, our sect will publicly claim that you violated the rules of the Liehuo Sect, and that’s why we captured you. As for handing you over to Panlong Heavenly Emperor, that’s an even more righteous reason."

Despicable!

Shameless!

Chu Feng couldn’t help but curse inwardly. He had calculated everything but never expected to be captured by an ally on the territory of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country.

For now, all he could do was wait.

He hoped that Han Dong would soon inform the higher-ups of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect about everything that had happened here.

"Liehuo Sect Master, Chi Tianjing, all of you listen! If you release me now, nothing will happen. If you persist in this disgraceful betrayal for your own gain, I can assure you, you will pay a price you cannot bear. It could even lead to the destruction of the Liehuo Sect."

After steadying his spirit, Chu Feng began to negotiate sternly.

He hoped that the other party would turn back from the edge of the cliff and change their ways.

"Haha... How arrogant! I would like to see who can destroy my Liehuo Sect. Just a peak Sword Saint like you poses no threat to my Liehuo Sect."

"First, escort him back to the Liehuo Sect, and lock him up in the Fiery Flame Cave, let him suffer a bit!"

The Liehuo Sect Master laughed furiously, thinking Chu Feng was insanely arrogant, and merely talking big here.

He did not take Chu Feng’s threats to heart at all.

Chi Tianjing had kicked Chu Feng a few times earlier, which surely felt very satisfying and relieving.

But now, he only found his feet unbearably itchy, as if countless mosquitoes had bitten him.

Instinctively, Chi Tianjing stomped his legs hard, trying to alleviate the unbearable itch.

The result was, the more he stomped, the itchier it got.

Chu Feng was already being escorted by two Supreme Elders of the Liehuo Sect, heading towards the Sect of the Liehuo Sect.

This place was Crimson Fire City, very close to the Liehuo Sect’s territory.

Before leaving, Chu Feng gave a cold smirk as he glanced at Chi Tianjing, who was stomping around there.

"Dare to kick your Elder Chu, you’ll get what’s coming to you." The itching powder of Chu Feng was famously effective and painfully refreshing.

Guaranteed that within ten days to half a month, it would cause death by poisoning.

And in extreme pain and itching.

All the more satisfying than any other torture in the world.

Soon, Chu Feng was escorted into the Inner City of the Liehuo Sect, where the Inner Sect Disciples were active.

The management system was similar to that of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

The Liehuo Sect was also divided into Outer City and Inner City, with slightly more disciples than the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

The number of Supreme Elders was roughly the same.

As for which sect was stronger, it had never truly been tested.

In recent years, due to the perpetual war between Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country and Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, the relationships with Divine Baihu Kingdom and Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom have been equally tense.

In fact, all four Heavenly Countries hope to swallow each other.

Then, to unify the Divine Martial Continent and become the supreme Ten Thousand Ancient Heavenly Emperor.

Chu Feng was brought to a tremendously hot cave.

Inside the cave, fiercely burning flames and waves of heat assaulted the face.

"Eh, why do I feel some fluctuations from the Nine Yang Strange Fire?" Chu Feng thought to himself. Upon careful sensation, he indeed found the Nine Yang Strange Fire becoming more active.

Could there be Strange Fire in this Fiery Flame Cave?

These people may or may not be aware that Chu Feng possesses the Strange Fire.

Because Chu Feng’s Nine Yang Strange Fire was never deliberately exposed. Only a few people know that he possesses the Strange Fire.

Others merely harbor suspicions and guesses; they dare not confirm it.

The Liehuo Sect Master, worried that Chu Feng might be rescued or escape, securing him in the Fiery Flame Cave would naturally be foolproof.

After all, the Heavenly Silkworm Net on Chu Feng cannot be always in place.

Because activating a magical treasure constantly consumes mana.

The dignified Liehuo Sect Master, busy with myriad responsibilities, certainly cannot afford to waste time on the prisoner Chu Feng.

"Throw him in there, directly into the innermost fire prison! Without my sect’s permission, no one is allowed to let him out!"

"Leave two Supreme Elders rotating to guard outside the cave, in case a master from Ten Thousand Sword Sect comes to rescue. In five or six days at most, Panlong Heavenly Emperor will send someone to take him away. By then, the hundred thousand Spirit Stones will be in hand,"

instructed the Liehuo Sect Master to several Supreme Elders.

"Rest assured, Sect Master, no mistake will occur! However, we’ve sealed this kid’s Sword Qi, and locking him in the fire prison, I fear he might not withstand it and could be burned alive!" A Supreme Elder expressed his concern.

Alive he is valuable; dead, Panlong Heavenly Emperor might have regrets.

After all, they all knew that Panlong Heavenly Emperor was willing to pay such a high price to capture Chu Feng because he is the reincarnation of the Eternal Life Pill Master.

As long as Chu Feng lives, Panlong Heavenly Emperor will find it difficult to sleep peacefully.

"Locking him in the innermost fire prison will definitely be fine. The frightful flames are only outside the prison; inside it’s rather safe," assured the Liehuo Sect Master after glancing at Chu Feng. "Moreover, this lad is no ordinary person but the reincarnation of the Eternal Life Pill Master. He’s very skilled in controlling flames."

The Supreme Elders thus did not say anything more.

They directly pushed Chu Feng into the innermost fire prison of the Fiery Flame Cave.

"Kid, just stay quietly here. Best not to think about escaping, no one has ever escaped from the fire prison. If you really try, there’s only one outcome, and that is being burned alive by the flames inside the cave,"

the Liehuo Sect Master executed a move, and the Heavenly Silkworm Net whooshed into a streak of white light, flying back into the hands of the Liehuo Sect Master.

Then, it disappeared from sight.

It must have been taken back by the Liehuo Sect Master for nurturing within his body.

Magical treasures have one major characteristic, which is that they can be kept inside the body for nurturing. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After locking Chu Feng into the fire prison, the Liehuo Sect Master and Supreme Elders left one by one. The entire fire prison became quiet, only the roaring sound of fiercely burning flames remained.

Chu Feng surveyed the environment of the fire prison. He saw that this fire prison was no different from ordinary prison cells.

Except that outside the prison, there were terrifying flames.

Throughout the whole Fiery Flame Cave, high temperature and fierce flames pervaded; under the conditions where Sword Qi was sealed, no ordinary person could possibly escape.

Just by stepping half a step out of the fire prison, one would immediately be burned alive.
