Chapter 6846 Help

When Chi Yutong merged with the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze, a blood-colored dragon flame mark appeared on her forehead.

This merger marked the end of the original Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze. The new Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze would have no ties to its previous incarnation, and everything would begin anew.

The Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze split all its power into two seeds—one was a reward for Huo Linger, and the other was a legacy seed left for the Flame God Sect.

“Lord Long Chen, please accept this kowtow!”

Chi Yutong genuinely struggled to find words to thank Long Chen. As she knelt down, Long Chen stopped her by grabbing her. He then extended his hand, revealing a flame seed that caused Chi Yutong’s eyes to widen.

“The Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze Senior already prepared my reward, so that the heir of the Flame God Sect does not owe anyone a debt,” said Long Chen.

The Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze had rewarded Long Chen to avoid a disagreement between him and Chi Yutong. Moreover, it didn’t want the Flame God Sect to know that Long Chen had taken one of the flame seeds.

However, Long Chen did not feel guilty about it. He did not believe this needed to be kept secret, especially given how grateful Chi Yutong was.

Chi Yutong was shocked at first, but she quickly realized the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze’s intention. Now, she felt even more respect for Long Chen’s character.

“You earned that reward. Without you, Lord Brahma would have succeeded in killing our Flame God. Hence, I am still grateful to you. Now… I just have a simple request: please keep this matter a secret,” Chi Yutong implored.

Chi Yutong understood the immense effort the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze had put into this. The person it patiently awaited for many years had to be exceptional. Hence, that flame seed was more than a reward; it fostered a strong bond between him and the Flame God Sect. With such karma established, if the Flame God Sect ever faced trouble in the future, Long Chen certainly wouldn’t just sit and watch.

However, not everyone had that kind of intelligence to see so far. If the Flame God Sect felt resentment toward Long Chen out of greed and wanted to reclaim the flame seed, that would be troublesome.

By showing Chi Yutong the flame seed, Long Chen was testing her. If Chi Yutong expressed a desire for it, Long Chen would give it to her without hesitation. This would grant her two Heavenly Flame seeds. However, it would also sever the good karma that the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze left for them.

The Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze could see through endless time, revealing that it had to wait for someone. This suggested that it could predict the future.

Chi Yutong made Long Chen keep this secret because she understood not everyone was intelligent. After all, who could resist the appeal of a flame seed from the fifth rank Heavenly Flame?

In front of such tempting bait, even smart people would instantly become foolish. Thus, the fact that Long Chen would show Chi Yutong the flame seed was already enough to impress her.

Seeing her sincere gaze, Long Chen nodded. He returned the Heavenly Flame seed to Huo Linger.

Huo Linger had been sulking ever since Long Chen took it. After all, this flame seed was extremely important to her. However, she also understood Long Chen’s temper. She didn’t protest when he took it, but now she shouted excitedly. The actions of the Flame God Sect had truly benefited her.

“Long Chen… I truly don’t know how to express my gratitude. Even though the Flame God granted you your reward, I remain at a loss for words!” Chi Yutong exclaimed.

She still felt as if she were dreaming. Her voice trembled, and the divine rune on her forehead shone intensely.

Although the Flame God Sect once had a great reputation, they had ceased their god path inheritance long ago after the fall of the Flame God. That caused the Flame God Sect’s decline.

In the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, many factions at their level were testing and pressuring them. If an opportunity arose, they would try to swallow the Flame God Sect.

It was very rare for a bloody battle to break out within the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture. But in this world, there was a blade that could kill without bloodshed. They could use various methods to cause destruction from within. Since the Flame God Sect transitioned from a god-path inheritance to an immortal-path inheritance, their cohesion had weakened.

These years had been very painful for them. Fortunately, by the time of Chi Yutong’s era, her shockingly talented cultivation had rekindled the Flame God Sect’s hopes.

This irritated the factions that wanted to devour the Flame God Sect. When Chi Yutong was out hunting devils, they often launched sneak attacks on her sect. Because there was no double manifestation Divine Sovereign overseeing it, the Flame God Sect was mocked and ridiculed wherever they went. They had no choice but to endure it.

Then, Long Chen arrived.

First, he rescued Chi Yunfeng from near-death, then assisted him in condensing a double manifestation, and recently revived the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze. He was practically the savior of the Flame God Sect.

After helping the Flame God Sect so much, Long Chen never showed even a hint of arrogance about his achievements. He didn’t ask for anything and was even willing to return the Heavenly Flame seed that all the major factions would desire.

Chi Yutong had never met anyone like him before.

“Divine Daughter, we are friends. Now that you have the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze, perhaps I’ll be the one asking you for help soon,” said Long Chen.

“Lord Long Chen, just say the word, and I will give up my life for you,” Chi Yutong declared solemnly.

She was deeply touched that Long Chen sought her help. As a prideful warrior, she disliked owing favors. If there was a way to repay him, she wouldn’t hesitate to do so.

“Then let’s not talk so formally. Just like Yuluo, you can just call me Long Chen. That way, we’ll feel a bit closer,” Long Chen said, smiling.

Chi Yutong replied, “Then you can’t call me ‘Divine Daughter’. You can call me Yutong!”

Both of them felt a new sense of trust developing between them. At first, Chi Yutong wanted to befriend Long Chen because her sharp instincts told her he was very powerful and would benefit the Flame God Sect.

This friendship was driven by hidden motives. Although Chi Yutong had boldly challenged City Lord Yunkong and was willing to confront the Deep Earth Sect on his behalf, these acts were ultimately investments in their relationship.

However, when Long Chen presented the Heavenly Flame seed and offered to give it to Chi Yutong, she showed no interest in accepting it. This demonstrated that she was a wise woman deserving of his trust.

By this point, both sides had completed their tests of each other and had become genuine friends. As they returned to the sect’s public area, an icy-faced elder, accompanied by dozens of companions, stepped directly in front of them.

This elder was an acquired Divine Sovereign. He glared at Long Chen fiercely and asked, “Who is this person?! Who gave you permission to bring him into the Flame God Alcove?!”

Chi Yutong’s expression sank. She suddenly grabbed her sword and swung it.

That elder’s head flew into the air, causing everyone in the vicinity to cry out in shock.
