No different from ordinary earth fire.

For the Liehuo Sect, this will have a profound impact. There’s even the possibility of never recovering from this setback.

"How did this happen?" The Liehuo Sect Master landed in the cave, allowing the flames to engulf him. Faintly visible was a thin layer of Sword Essence protective cover, keeping him safe within its bounds.

Even a powerful warrior at the level of a Supreme Sword God would not dare let the fierce fire burn their flesh.

Moreover, the temperature of the earth fire is higher than that of ordinary firewood.

It can generally reach more than a thousand degrees.

At such high temperatures, even metal would melt, let alone the flesh and blood body of a human.

"Has that Chu Feng really escaped, Sect Master Yang?" Hu Yanhao and the others tensed, as they were entrusted with an important task by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor before their arrival.

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor had high hopes for this matter.

If they messed this up, it would be difficult to explain when they return.

Especially for the two officials from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, they might end up in an unfavorable position.

"That kid is imprisoned in the Fire Prison, and his Sword Qi has been restricted. Even with the power to reach heaven and penetrate earth, there’s no way he can escape. Moreover, our sect has deployed two Supreme Elders to guard the place, ensuring absolute security."

The Liehuo Sect Master steadied his mind, deciding to first complete the transaction, send off the guests from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, and then deal with the sudden change in the flames of the Fiery Flame Cave.

There must have been some incident there.

"Bring out the Chu guy!"

Since the Fiery Flame Cave is a secret cultivation realm of the Liehuo Sect, naturally they would not allow outsiders to enter easily.

Two Supreme Elders quickly brought Chu Feng out.

During this time, Chu Feng did consider escaping. However, the surveillance by the two Supreme Elders of the Liehuo Sect was too strict, and this place was the heartland of the Liehuo Sect, with heavy restrictions and numerous experts.

The difficulty of escaping was too great.

If he failed to escape and was recaptured, trying to flee again would be even more difficult.

Now that his Sword Qi was sealed, he couldn’t perform any skills, making escape even more unlikely.

He could only take one step at a time, waiting for an opportunity to find a way out.

"Good, it really is this kid!" Hu Yanhao recognized Chu Feng as soon as he was brought out, a smile immediately spreading across his face.

Even if Chu Feng turned to ashes, he would recognize him.

"Chu Feng, you’re done for! You could never have dreamed that this day would come, right?" A cruel, cold smile filled with killing intent appeared on Hu Yanhao’s face.

In contrast, the other three people looked towards Chu Feng with much more indifference in their eyes.

People are like this; when they don’t have a direct interest at stake, they wouldn’t harbor a bone-deep hatred.

"Until the final moment arrives, no one can say for sure what will happen next. Perhaps the one who will die is you, it’s not certain!" Even though Chu Feng’s Sword Qi was sealed and he was reduced to a prisoner, he remained resolute, never bending the knee.

He even retorted disdainfully.

"Just because you’re tough-mouthed! Once we get to the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, even if the Panlong Heavenly Emperor executes you, I will still drag your corpse for a whipping! Cut into minced meat, for a little stir-fry to accompany my drinks!" Hu Yanhao’s hatred towards Chu Feng was indeed profound.

He wished he could kill Chu Feng right now.

"The person has been verified and there’s no problem! Cash on one hand, person on the other, then you guys can deal with this kid however you like!" The Liehuo Sect Master said with a sinister smile.

The more Hu Yanhao and the others hated Chu Feng, the more straightforward they were with the spirit stones.

Today, these one hundred thousand spirit stones were as good as theirs.

"Give it to him!" Hu Yanhao could hardly wait to order the middle-aged official beside him.

"One hundred thousand spirit stones are all in this storage ring! Sect Master Yang, are you prepared to receive it right here?" The middle-aged official looked at the ground outside of the Fiery Flame Cave, which wasn’t very clean.

There were even scattered stones and weeds.

A single spirit stone is extremely precious, let alone a hundred thousand.

It’s very easy to lose a small portion if they’re all taken out and piled up here.

"Just pile them up here! Later, our sect will send someone to transport them away!" The Liehuo Sect Master didn’t really care, as the spirit stones were earned effortlessly.

No sooner had he spoken than the middle-aged official activated the storage ring with his Sword Essence.

Whoosh!

Amidst the shining azure light, a huge pile of spirit stones appeared out of thin air, directly forming a small mountain.

A hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones piled up on this open ground, a truly magnificent sight.

Taller than a house.

"Storage ring?" Chu Feng stared intently at the ring on the middle finger of the middle-aged official. He possessed an identical ring.

So, this was the storage ring, capable of holding a vast amount of items.

Unfortunately, I’m currently only at the peak Sword Saint cultivation and have yet to advance to the Sword God Realm, unable to use any magical treasures.

A surge of warm excitement filled Chu Feng’s heart; the storage ring was incredibly practical. It was essentially a portable warehouse that you could carry around.

Whether traveling abroad for experience or transporting valuable items, having a storage ring is very beneficial.

"The Liehuo Sect has sold me to the Azure Dragon Heavenly Country today, and in the future, they must pay a price ten times over!" Chu Feng declared coldly,—his final offer for the Liehuo Sect to repent and seek redemption.

After all, we are all sects from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country.

"Boy, on the brink of death, and you’re still barking at the sun? Let me make it clear to you, the Liehuo Sect won’t have to pay any price. Do you really think that you’re important enough that the Ten Thousand Sword Sect will stand up for you?"

"Or do you think that you have a connection with the Eight Virtuous Princes and he will avenge you? Stop dreaming."

The Liehuo Sect Master’s face was filled with scorn, his tone dripping with mockery and disdain.

In his eyes, Chu Feng was just a minor figure, of very little significance to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect or the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the direction of the Outer Sect.

It was as if the earth shook and the mountains quaked.

The Liehuo Sect Master’s face changed slightly. Truly troublesome times, what had happened now? The magnitude of the strike suggested it was the work of someone at the level of a Supreme Sword God.

Could it be that the Panlong Heavenly Emperor was trying to play tricks?

After getting their hands on the person, did they plan to snatch back these spirit stones?

Thinking this, the Liehuo Sect Master instantly became tense. Without a second thought, he launched a flare.

"Immediately summon all the Supreme Elders, True Disciples, and Elders of the sect to prepare to face the enemy!" The Liehuo Sect might do business with the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, but they refuse to work for free.

Moreover, this was their territory.

"All you sons and grandsons of the Liehuo Sect, listen up—hand over Chu Feng of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect immediately. Otherwise, even if it means fighting to the last man, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect will ensure your annihilation!"

This was the voice of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect Master.

Chu Feng felt a warm surge in his heart, seeing true loyalty in times of adversity.

When one is in a time of glory, people approach you, flatter you, which might be with a motive to curry favor. By winning you over, they gain benefits.

But when you are down and out, if someone is still willing to help you, it’s likely genuine friendship.

"Hand him over immediately, unconditionally! My disciple—is he someone that your Liehuo Sect can afford to offend?"

Another powerful voice rang out, aged but filled with deep anger.

This was the Supreme Lord of the Wanfa Sect.

"My amiable master rarely gets angry, I never expected master would come too!" Chu Feng felt a pang in his heart, his eyes welling with tears. The feeling of being moved came so suddenly.
