Chapter 662 - Spreading Dark Fires (2/2)

Lonemoon turned to the gleeful Shu Yi and could not stop himself from saying something to ruin her mood. He stepped forward and said, “Why not let Supremacy Yi Qing come and take a look?” He was only a Foundation Establishment disciple now. Of course he could not do anything to help. All he could do was push the responsibility to Chef.

Shu Yuan stared blankly at him for a couple of seconds before he finally recalled Yi Qing. His expression seemed to harden. “That’s right. Supremacy will have a way!” He heaved a sigh of relief, but it was obvious he was still worried. After all, this was deviant fire they were talking about.

The demonic cultivator disappeared without a trace in the forest. Chef returned soon after. The moment he arrived back in the city, he was dragged to the injured disciples by an eager Shu Yuan. “Uncle-Master Yi Qing, please come and take a look at my disciples. They can’t hang on much longer!”

Yi Qing paused. He turned to Lonemoon instinctively. Lonemoon mouthed two words, “Dark fire!”

Yi Qing immediately understood. He entered the house and saw that there were more than ten people whose bodies were covered in huge patches of black. It was almost as if something inside their bodies was attacking them. They looked to be in severe pain.

“Uncle-Master Yi Qing, they’re being attacked by deviant-” Shu Yuan began to explain.

Yi Qing flicked his wrist and caused a bright red flame to appear in his hands. He surrounded the people in the house with it. There was a loud crash and a white flame seemed to explode from each of the disciples’ bodies. Then, the white flame dissipated.

Yi Qing clenched his fist and caused the fire to be extinguished inside the house. It was almost as if it had not even appeared. Everybody in the house remained unhurt – not even a single strand of hair was charred as a result of Yi QIng’s fire. The only difference was that their faces seemed to be flushed.

Shu Yuan stepped forward to feel one of the disciples’ pulses and found that the deviant flame had completely disappeared from inside his body. “Uncle… Uncle-Master!” Shu Yuan was in a daze. What was that fire about? How could it extinguish the icy deep fire? “Uncle-Master, you have your own deviant fire?”

Yi Qing pursed his lips and nodded curtly. “Mm.” What deviant fire? His was the True Phoenix Fire.

“That’s great! Thank you for your help, Uncle-Master!” Shu Yuan heaved a huge sigh of relief. He was relaxed not only because his disciples had hope now but because Uncle-Master Yi Qing’s deviant fire could subdue the formidable Icy Deep Fire from the Fiendish Cultivator, Zhong Yi. This meant that their Gui Yi Sect no longer had to worry about being frowned upon by the other sects now.

Everyone was visibly relieved. Yet, Shu Yi’s expression seemed to darken.

“What’s the matter? How come he can deal with the deviant fire?”

[The heat in that man’s body is almost completely gone. Perhaps it is because those flames in the disciples’ body encountered an even stronger source of heat.]

“An even stronger source! You mean to say that his deviant fire is even stronger?” She did not even get to collect the remnant flames before he extinguished all of it immediately.

[You can say that.]

Shu Yi’s face turned green. The opportunity had been right before her, and now it was gone. Yet, there was nothing at all that she could do about it.

“I wonder if Uncle-Master managed to track Zhong Yi down outside the city?” Shu Yuan asked, recalling the urgent matters they had on hand.

“I did not!” Yi Qing shook his head. “He’s no longer in that forest.” All that he left behind was some deviant flames.

“I don’t know what the fiendish cultivator is after.” He suddenly turned up near Gui Yi Sect and even killed one of the Nascent Soul elders. Now, he was even gone without a trace.

Shu Yuan frowned and began to worry once again. He had no choice but to hasten the disciples’ healing process, so that they could return to Gui Yi Sect as soon as possible. After all, only the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core disciples remained. If anything were to happen to them, they would definitely not be able to hold the fort.
