King of Creation-Chapter 760 - 750: Heart Refining Fire Prison

Amidst the clouds stood a vague and shadowy figure. That faint figure frowned, and even before the massive cloud Qi engulfed it, its body started to blur out of thin air. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Roar!

The moment the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten pounced, it only hit a remnant shadow, as the figure vanished into thin air!

In the low air, seeing this scene through the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Ye Zhen exclaimed, "An Establishment Realm King?"

If Ye Zhen wasn’t mistaken, the disappearing figure seemed to use the legendary Secret Teleportation Technique, which typically only Establishment Realm Kings were qualified to cultivate.

Like during the several previous divine worship ceremonies, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect suddenly appearing before the statue also used the Secret Teleportation Technique.

In other words, an Establishment Realm King had just witnessed the entire event!

"Who could it be?" Ye Zhen’s brows furrowed tightly.

Firstly, there aren’t many Establishment Realm Kings. In the entire vicinity of Qinglan Martial City, there definitely wouldn’t be more than twenty, and ninety percent of them belong to the Five Great Forces!

However, most Establishment Realm Kings are in secluded cultivation, such as the two known Supreme Elders of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. Therefore, the person appearing here is likely someone active within the Five Great Forces!

Yet, the strange part is that this Establishment Realm King avoided Ye Zhen and did not meet with him. Logically, if an Establishment Realm King from the other four forces saw this scene, they would have come out to deal with Ye Zhen instead of avoiding him.

At this thought, Ye Zhen began to ponder the identity of the Establishment Realm King who had just disappeared.

The next instant, Ye Zhen soared skyward, flying towards the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.

Just upon arriving at the entrance of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Ye Zhen saw Zuo Xiong excitedly approaching from afar.

"Brother, how did you manage to do that? I just received information that Gan Rusong is dead, an Establishment Realm King, just like that, dead!

Moreover, the other accompanying elders of the Profound Moon Sect are all dead, except for that old scoundrel Fangg Lifeng who escaped. Truly a pity, the most detestable person is surely Fangg Lifeng," Zuo Xiong sighed.

"Fangg Lifeng?" A gleam flashed in Ye Zhen’s eyes, "Don’t worry, Brother Zuo, that old scoundrel Fangg Lifeng won’t live much longer!"

Upon hearing this, a peculiar expression appeared in Zuo Xiong’s eyes. He wanted to say something but stopped, eventually changing the topic.

"By the way, Brother, I found out what you asked me to investigate!" Zuo Xiong said.

"Spill it quickly!"

"Master Fengh has been imprisoned in the sect’s Heart Refining Fire Prison!" Zuo Xiong said.

Ye Zhen’s face instantly changed, "What? The Heart Refining Fire Prison? How could she be locked in that place?"

The Heart Refining Fire Prison is where the Sun and Moon Divine Sect punishes and detains those who committed serious offenses. Normally, it holds very few people throughout the year, only those who have betrayed the sect or leaked sect secrets are confined there.

The Heart Refining Fire Prison is constantly spewing ground flames, the space within is perpetually burning, and every wisp of air carries terrifying heat. Even more terrifying, there is an extremely intricate Illusion Array beneath the ground.

It enhances the martial artist’s perception of the flame’s temperature, putting them in a severely dehydrated state. Yet, under the array’s control, the confined martial artist can see a spinning jar of clear water in front of them, always just out of reach. The mental and physical torment is utterly excruciating.

"Brother, I don’t know. I only just learned about this through Nian Xinghe. Allegedly..." At this point, Zuo Xiong gave Ye Zhen a glance.

"Allegedly what?" Ye Zhen pursued.

"Allegedly, Master Fengh was insolent, defying the Leader with disrespectful words, and was directly confined to the Heart Refining Fire Prison by the Leader, and it has been over ten days now!" Zuo Xiong said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen was stunned, "What, over ten days!"

Almost as the words were spoken, Ye Zhen’s figure vanished in front of Zuo Xiong, leaving him looking utterly bewildered.

Soon after Ye Zhen’s disappearance, Nian Xinghe appeared behind the tightly-lipped Zuo Xiong, "Perhaps, only he can save Qingyue!"

Zuo Xiong’s eyes were filled with worry, "Xinghe, do you think Ye Zhen’s actions might anger the Leader and bring disaster upon himself? By telling him this, am I leading him to harm?"

"I don’t know!"

"But I know, if Qingyue continues to endure in the Heart Refining Fire Prison, she will die....." Instantly, Nian Xinghe’s previously wavering gaze turned resolute, "Who knows, Ye Zhen might end up thanking us....." The words were filled with indescribable bitterness!

...

Although the Heart Refining Fire Prison is not the most heavily guarded place in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, its defense is certainly not lax.

Located beneath the northwest corner of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, there are guards all along the way, making it a forbidden land for ordinary people.

However, for Ye Zhen, now bearing the title of Deputy Hall Master, approaching the Heart Refining Fire Prison posed no issue, but entering it was difficult.

The Heart Refining Fire Prison holds the major offenders of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, requiring the Leader’s personal decree for entry.

Ye Zhen originally thought of appealing to Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, but something he suspected discouraged him from doing so.

Regardless of anything else, the priority was to rescue Fengh Qingyue; everything else could be dealt with gradually. Ye Zhen was sure that with the head of Gan Rusong he just threw out, Jian Qianxiong wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

Even Jian Qianxiong, regardless of being a fool, wouldn’t dare to provoke Ye Zhen, who might have an immensely powerful Establishment Realm King backing him.

Strength determines value, value determines status.

This confidence, Ye Zhen still has it!

"Hmm? The guards here have fainted?"

As he approached the first gate of the Heartfire Prison, ready to Earth Escape inside, Ye Zhen was shocked to find that the four Spirit Transformation Realm martial artists guarding the first gate were all unconscious on the ground, and the gate was wide open.

"Is someone breaking into the prison or?"

With a thought, Ye Zhen drifted into the passage of the Heartfire Prison like a wisp of smoke. After advancing just over a mile, he saw another four Spirit Transformation Realm martial artists knocked out, along with two Soul Sea Realm martial artists stationed there.

All the martial artists who were knocked out had a deep finger mark on the back of their heads, likely from being knocked unconscious by a single finger strike.

"To knock out six people in an instant, the intruder must be at least at the fourth or fifth stage of the Vein Forging Realm, with extremely fast body skill! And the fact that this person reached the Heartfire Prison before attacking, without triggering the Divine Sect’s alarm, suggests that the intruder might be someone from within the sect!"

Realizing this, Ye Zhen’s expression changed, and he silently exclaimed something was wrong, quickly rushing towards the interior of the Heartfire Prison.

Upon entering the interior of the Heartfire Prison, a searing heat assaulted him, making him feel as if he had entered a mountain of flames, forcing Ye Zhen to immediately deploy the Purple Jade Battle Armor to defend against the intense heat.

What surprised Ye Zhen even more was that his Purple Jade Battle Armor began to tremble under the invasion of the searing heat.

He had just entered and already felt this way. How much suffering would Fengh Qingyue have endured, being confined for over ten days?

Ye Zhen’s figure shot forward again, but just a hundred meters out, he was startled by a scream of anguish.

"Water... give me water... water..."

Inside a cell sealed with a formation that glowed with fiery light, a martial artist, entirely charred black and nothing but skin and bones, desperately reached towards the cell bars as if trying to grab something, but could not reach it, letting out eerie wails like that of a ghost.

The ghostly appearance gave Ye Zhen quite a scare. After carefully identifying for a moment, he was relieved to find it was not Fengh Qingyue.

As he delved deeper, Ye Zhen found only five imprisoned martial artists inside the Heartfire Prison, all charred black, but none were Fengh Qingyue.

In just a few moments, Ye Zhen approached the deepest part of the Heartfire Prison when suddenly, a voice made Ye Zhen’s eyes turn icy cold!

"Little strumpet, you never thought you’d have this day, did you?"

"Today, even if you scream till your throat breaks, no one will come to save you!"

"I never thought, Old Ghost Jian would appear to punish you, yet secretly was this fond of you, confining you in the Heartfire Prison but then giving you a piece of Ten-thousand-year Cold Jade, so you wouldn’t be susceptible to the searing heat!"

"Little strumpet, today, prepare to go underground and meet your wretched mother!"

The sharp, cursing voice in the depths of the Heartfire Prison grew more and more unpleasant with each sentence; Ye Zhen recognized it as Yua Hanjing’s voice.

"Yua Hanjing? Hmph!" A cold light flashed in Ye Zhen’s eyes. However, he didn’t immediately act, instead suppressing his presence and quietly listened further.

With the Ten-thousand-year Cold Jade protecting Fengh Qingyue, the Heartfire Prison was nothing but a decoration.

In this situation, Ye Zhen couldn’t understand what Jian Qianxiong intended. Why imprison Fengh Qingyue, yet also give her a protective treasure?

Ye Zhen cautiously extended his Divine Sense, seeing that hundreds of meters away, Fengh Qingyue was confined in a fire cell with restrictions, while Yua Hanjing stood there, hands on hips, hurling insults wantonly!

"Do not insult my mother!"

Mentioning her mother, Fengh Qingyue’s expression became instantly agitated.

"What can you do if I mention her? Your mother Fengh Yi was a harlot, a big harlot, a dead harlot. I cursed her, and what can you do?"

"Today, not only will I curse that harlot of a mother of yours, but I will also kill you!" Yua Hanjing’s voice became incredibly sharp.

Unexpectedly, Fengh Qingyue’s agitated expression suddenly calmed down, "After so many years, you still act like a shrew; no wonder..."

Fengh Qingyue shook her head regretfully, "As for your intent to kill me, dream on!"

"Destroying the restriction in front of my cell will cause a significant spiritual power wave, likely attracting the Divine Sect’s attention. Do you dare?" Fengh Qingyue said disdainfully.

Yua Hanjing’s face showed a hint of smugness, "I forgot to tell you, today the Profound Moon Sect combined with the Four Great Forces to force a takeover; who cares about here?"

Fengh Qingyue’s face showed a hint of surprise, then calmed down again, "Then come on, today is the day we end our grievances and the day I avenge my mother. Who kills whom, isn’t certain yet!"

Listening to Fengh Qingyue, a smile suddenly spread on Yua Hanjing’s lips—a terrifying, crazy smile that turned into a wild, arrogant laughter in an instant.

"Act, keep acting! Other than the pretense you learned from that harlot Fengh Yi, you didn’t learn any other skills well!"

"Hmph, still acting with me. Didn’t you drink the clean water brought by the guards at noon today? If you drank it, haven’t you noticed that your whole body is limp and your Spiritual Power is moving slowly?"

Hearing this, Fengh Qingyue’s face drastically changed, "Did you poison it?" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to visit Qidian.com to give recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
