Chapter 848 Heaven Flame Ritual (2/2)

It wasn’t a small matter to ask 99 Heavenly Sun stage experts to activate the Heavenly Sun Flame with all their strength. Afterwards, in order to compensate them, the Heavenly Spirit Sect would no doubt have to use up huge resources. In order to make up for these losses, generally, according to the rules, the host had a fixed 40% share of the Heavenly Sun Flame.

“Grand elder Chi Jing indeed attaches a lot of importance to Wind Pavilion.”

Chi Jing smiled. “They can be regarded as my people, so I have to fight for some benefits for them. I hope that in the future I can cultivate strong talents.”

Xuan Kun said, “Even if it is a free fight, the Fire Pavilion is far stronger than the Wind Pavilion, so in the end, it will just be a waste of effort.”

“How do you know if you don’t try?”

“You really insist?”

Chi Jing smiled and said nothing.

Xuan Kun went silent for a moment, then nodded. “Fine, grand elder Chi Jing. In this year’s Heaven Flame Ritual, it will depend on one’s own ability.”

Seeing that sect master Xuan Kun had compromised, Chi Jing also smiled.

Sect master Xuan Kun glanced at Zhou Yuan on the side and then said to Chi Jing with a ruminative smile, “Grand elder Chi Jing seems to think unusually highly of the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master.”

In the depths of his eyes there seemed to be a little teasing, and he said in a strange tone of voice, “If supreme sovereign Cang Yuan saw this, he might be very happy.”

With that, he flung his robe and disappeared with Xi Guang.

Zhou Yuan and Chi Jing looked at each other because sect master Xuan Kun’s words seemed to carry an ambiguous meaning.

“What did he misunderstand us as?” Zhou Yuan gave an embarra.s.sed smile.

Veins bulging, Chi Jing gritted her teeth and hissed, “Shameless old thing!”

But sect master Xuan Kun was indeed extremely sharp to have noticed that Zhou Yuan and Chi Jing had some sort of relations.h.i.+p. But he never would have thought or dared to think that the two would be senior sister and junior brother, so in the end, after many speculations, he felt that Chi Jing might have fallen for Zhou Yuan.

This wasn’t surprising since that, given Chi Jing’s status and ident.i.ty, she could keep any handsome male companion she wanted. However, he couldn’t understand what part of Zhou Yuan was worthy of Chi Jing’s attention.

He also hoped that this was the case because if Chi Jing’s taste was that bad, it could be good news to the Heavenly Spirit Sect. After all, given Chi Jing’s appearance, there were many existences in the Hunyuan Heaven who made sect master Xuan Kun fearful and who had feelings for her.

“He didn’t even confirm whether I really had someone in my hands who could be used as evidence.” Zhou Yuan quickly changed the topic when he sensed a dangerous look in Chi Jing’s eyes.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. What’s important now is that he’s already compromised,” Chi Jing said snappily.

Zhou Yuan nodded thoughtfully and immediately smiled: “In truth, I do have someone in my hands, but I have wounded his Spirit and he is no different from dead. Even if he searched his Spirit, he wouldn’t find anything.”

Chi Jing clicked her tongue “Your guts…” “But fortunately you’re here. Otherwise it would have been hard to squeeze any benefit out of that old cunning thing.”

“So that Heaven Flame Ritual?” Zhou Yuan asked curiously.

He didn’t know much about the Heaven Flame Ritual other than it being a major cultivation benefit for young heaven prides in the Tianyuan Region. It happened once a year and was considered a grand event.

“In the past, unless it was my turn to preside over the Heaven Flame Ritual, the share that the Wind Pavilion would receive was simply very little. You also know that the Wind Pavilion is very weak.”

Chi Jing glanced at Zhou Yuan and remarked, “Although you are progressing very quickly, if you want to compete with Lu Xiao for the chief pavilion master position, you are still lacking, so the Heaven Flame Ritual is a great opportunity for you.”

Zhou Yuan nodded and didn’t find Chi Jing’s bluntless difficult to take. After all, it was indeed the truth, and he had never underestimated Lu Xiao.

“Learn more about the Heaven Flame Ritual in the next few days. Make good use of the opportunity you exchanged your life for.” Chi Jing smiled and then vanished with a wave of her hand.

Zhou Yuan nodded. Strictly speaking, sect master Xuan Kun had only compromised to stop them from removing Xi Guang from the position of elder of the Elder Committee, and Xi Guang was being punished because he had tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhou Yuan. Therefore, it was true that it was an opportunity Zhou Yuan had exchanged his life for.

“In that case…

“I have to eat more from the Heaven Flame Ritual so I don’t lose out….”
