Chapter 414: Chapter 208: Summon Them All! Beat Them Up First

"Elder Chen, someone is outside asking for you. He claims to be Feng Wuji."

A Martial Alliance disciple ran swiftly to Chen Xuan’s residence and spoke respectfully.

He couldn’t help but feel awed by the bloody, demonic words in the sky and found himself irresistibly sneaking glances, trying to see them more clearly.

"Feng Wuji?"

A glint appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes.

’Has there been a development on that matter?’

"Alright, bring him in!"

Chen Xuan ordered.

After dismissing the disciple, Chen Xuan immediately took out his communication Jade Pendant and began to contact Chu Shanhe.

"Alliance Leader, Feng Wuji is here."

He sent the message.

Chu Shanhe’s heart tightened, and he quickly shot out from his place of seclusion.

「Meanwhile.」

Led by the disciple, Feng Wuji walked step by step toward Chen Xuan’s residence, his expression shifting constantly.

The more he saw, the more incredible it seemed.

’Chen Xuan killed over a hundred Outer Saints?’

’And forced a group of experts from the Dark World to flee?’

’This is too bizarre.’

’What kind of growth rate does this kid have?’

But on second thought, he was secretly pleased.

’Excellent!’

’With Chen Xuan possessing such strength, it’s even better for me.’

’That matter is now a sure thing.’

A faint smile appeared on Feng Wuji’s face. Before long, he arrived at Chen Xuan’s courtyard.

"Heh, Younger Brother Chu, you’re here as well?"

Feng Wuji chuckled.

"Brother Feng, could it be that there’s a development on our last matter?"

Chu Shanhe couldn’t help but smile as he looked at Feng Wuji.

Chen Xuan also looked at him with curiosity.

"Indeed."

Feng Wuji smiled. He wore yellow scholarly robes and possessed an extraordinary air. To an outsider, he looked like a teacher; no one who didn’t know him would ever guess that he was the legendary second-ranked master on the Sky Ranking.

"I’ve already made all the arrangements regarding the exotic flame. Now is the time to retrieve it. Originally, I still had a tiny bit of worry."

"But now, even that last shred of worry has completely vanished. Young Hero Chen, your strength is unprecedented and unparalleled—truly admirable. With your power alone, you awed the entire Dark Crossing, killed over a hundred Outer Saints, and forced three Dharma Realm experts to turn and flee. Such a battle record is truly unheard of, before or since."

He said with deep feeling.

"It wasn’t over a hundred Outer Saints."

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly. "Those are just rumors. In truth, I only killed seventy-something. The rest were pinned on me by others."

"..."

Feng Wuji forced a smile.

’Listen to him. Is he even human?’

’Only killed seventy-something?’

’What’s the difference between seventy-something and over a hundred?’

This only proved one thing.

Chen Xuan’s strength had once again surpassed all expectations, reaching an unbelievable level.

"Young Hero Chen, why don’t we go retrieve the exotic flame right now?"

Feng Wuji said with a smile.

"We could, but first, I’d like to ask about the details of this exotic flame and where exactly we’re retrieving it from."

Chen Xuan said.

"That’s right, Brother Feng. Are you still trying to hide things at this point?"

Chu Shanhe, at his side, immediately added, "To be frank, if you don’t give us a clear explanation today, there’s no way I’m letting Chen Xuan go with you."

This Feng Wuji’s origins were extremely deep and shrouded in mystery.

Even with Chu Shanhe’s current power, he couldn’t figure out exactly how strong the man was, or what his background was.

He only knew that Feng Wuji and his master often ventured deep into the darkness.

His master, in particular, had been missing for over a hundred years.

In any case, this master-disciple duo was highly unusual.

"Fine, I can tell you."

Feng Wuji nodded lightly. "Even if you hadn’t asked, I was going to tell you. But after I do, you can’t go spreading it around."

"Of course. You underestimate me,"

Chu Shanhe said.

Chen Xuan nodded as well.

Feng Wuji smiled faintly. "The exotic flame is called the [Unwarranted Heart Fire]. It burns from within the heart and is incredibly bizarre. No matter how powerful an expert you are, as soon as a ripple appears in your heart, this flame will instantly burn from your heart into your soul, incinerating your body and spirit completely, leaving not a single trace.

"What’s even more bizarre is that if this [Heart Fire] is used correctly, it can be used to control others. If you can plant a Heart Fire seed in someone, they will be completely at your mercy. Any secrets in their heart will be impossible to hide; they will spill everything under your questioning. In terms of function, it’s even more formidable than my [Crushing Wind]."

"Oh?"

A glint appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes.

’Unwarranted Heart Fire?’

’It certainly sounds impressive!’

’It burns from within, impossible to defend against?’

"Then where is it?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Qianling City!"

Feng Wuji replied.

"So it’s located in the darkness!"

Chu Shanhe’s tone grew heavy. His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Feng Wuji. "Feng Wuji, speak. What is your true identity?"

"Fine."

Feng Wuji showed a helpless expression. "I am the City Lord of Qianling City, responsible for managing this entire shallow layer of darkness, and for guarding this world of light from the corrosion of darkness!"

Chu Shanhe looked startled. "You’re responsible for managing this entire layer? And guarding this world of light?"

"Correct!"

Feng Wuji nodded calmly.

GASP!

Chu Shanhe sucked in a cold breath.

’No wonder...’

’No wonder this master and disciple were so mysterious.’

’No wonder, even after I entered the Dharma Realm, I could only rank third on the Sky Ranking?’

’This Feng Wuji’s true strength is likely far greater than it appears on the surface.’

"Then are the Northern Barbarians also under your protection?"

Chu Shanhe asked.

"Yes."

Feng Wuji nodded lightly. "Actually, with my strength, I can’t guard such a large area. My master was the main one holding the line. It’s just that he went into the deep darkness these past few years, so the burden has fallen to me.

"Fortunately, there haven’t been any major incidents in the last hundred-plus years. The occasional small fry who popped up were all pushed back by me. Of course, I am only responsible for things in the darkness. No matter how fiercely you all fight in the mortal world, I won’t interfere. I can only guarantee that the various powers from the darkness will never take a single step into the mortal world."
