"Kill,” Heavenly Fire Venerable’s face was furious.
His gaze was like a sword, directly charging at Xu Zimei.
The aura around him was like a storm, the sea of fire ignited on his body.
He charged at Xu Zimei at the cost of self-immolation.
The intense Heavenly Fire continuously roared.
"Ants will always be ants,” Xu Zimei said calmly.
"Even if you burn your Essence Blood, you’re just a slightly bigger ant.”
Looking at the Heavenly Fire Venerable charging towards him, Xu Zimei smacked with his right hand.
The entire void shook with “bang, bang, bang” sounds.
And Heavenly Fire Venerable’s body sank directly into the ground.The flames on him gradually dissipated, and he looked on the verge of death.
Xu Zimei turned his gaze to the Two Elders of Kongtong.
At this moment, all the Elders of the royal mansion had fled inside, naturally the Two Elders of Kongtong did not dare to be complacent.
The two exchanged a glance, “Escape,” reaching a consensus.
The two split up and fled in different directions.
But how could Xu Zimei let them have their way, the Blade Qi in his hand was overwhelming.
When Tyrant Shadow’s Blade Intent descended, two heads fell to the ground, eyes still open in death.
After a while, the headless bodies fell.
Xu Zimei took a deep breath, the Traceless Compass behind him rotating, as he stepped into the royal mansion.
This time, no one dared to stop him.
He walked in with the crowd at a leisurely pace.
Today, no matter where the Tyrant Blade is hidden, Xu Zimei must find it.
……
Meanwhile, inside the Chaos Palace not far away.
The emissary returned with anger, holding a decree.
He went directly to see the Ancestor of Fire.
He exaggerated as he recounted the events involving Xu Zimei.
Then, he said resentfully, “Hall Master, this is a challenge to your authority.
I believe we should immediately send someone to suppress it.”
The Ancestor of Fire stood in his courtyard.
In front of him, Flame Feather Flowers were blooming.
The petals were bright red, each flower resembling a burning flame.
From afar, it looked like a sea of fire, a crimson expanse.
The Ancestor of Fire, also the Hall Master, was right there before the flowers.
First, he inquired about the fragrance, somewhat lost in admiration.
"Hall Master, I think,” the emissary thought he hadn’t been clear and was about to repeat himself.
But he was interrupted directly.
"I know, you may leave,” the Ancestor of Fire waved his hand.
The emissary was stunned, the furious reaction he imagined from the Fire Tribe did not occur.
It was the first time in thousands of years that someone dared to reject the Ancestor of Fire’s decree.
"Hall Master,” the emissary still knelt on the ground.
He said, “If we don’t suppress Xu Zimei today, where is the prestige of our Chaos Palace.”
"Suppression, will you go suppress him?” the Ancestor of Fire asked in return.
"I…,” the emissary was left speechless.
"The Three Elders of the Holy Flame have not taken action yet.
Why the rush?” the Ancestor of Fire asked calmly.
The implication was, naturally, akin to “The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.”
The Holy Flame elders’ home is untouched, why are we anxious?
"But…,” the emissary was still reluctant, thinking of Xu Zimei’s attitude.
"You may leave,” the Ancestor of Fire continued to wave him away.
It seemed that the matter stopped there.
The emissary helplessly withdrew from the courtyard.
The Ancestor of Fire spoke no more, his gaze was calmly directed at the distant firmament.
That was the direction of the royal mansion.
"The Chaos Fire Realm, unchanged for a thousand years, could use some storms,” he murmured to himself.
As the words fell, suddenly, a silhouette appeared from the void beside him.
This figure was wrapped in layers of white bandages.
His appearance was particularly abrupt.
However, the Ancestor of Fire was already accustomed to such occurrences.
"Anything you need?”
"Why don’t you help the royal mansion?” the bandage-wrapped man asked.
"I did help.
The decree was given, but unfortunately, the person refused to comply,” the Ancestor of Fire shook his head and said.
"How is that helping,” the bandaged man retorted discontentedly.
"You should send people to arrest him.”
The Ancestor of Fire smiled without speaking, just calmly appreciating the flowers in front of him.
"You want the royal mansion to be destroyed!” the bandaged man instantly realized.
"I never said that,” the Ancestor of Fire shook his head.
"Why?” the bandaged man asked gravely.
"I want to know the reason.
The royal mansion is the home of the Three Elders of the Holy Flame, what exactly are you planning.”
"The existence of the royal mansion is merely symbolic.
If they minded their behavior, naturally there’s no issue, I would grant them the honor they deserve.”
The Ancestor of Fire said carelessly, “Sadly, the offspring of the Three Elders have grown increasingly foolish.
They have already attempted to surpass Chaos Palace.
Such a thing is absolutely impossible.”
"So even if he annihilates the royal mansion, it serves your purpose,” the bandaged man responded.
"Sort of, it’s the royal mansion’s own doing,” the Ancestor of Fire laughed.
"You destroy the royal mansion, but that man is also an uncontrollable factor,” the bandaged man continued.
"He has no regard for Chaos Palace either.”
"Why should I control him?” the Ancestor of Fire asked.
"That man’s world won’t be limited to the Chaos Fire Realm.
Eventually, he will leave, posing no threat to us.”
"You think he alone can destroy the royal mansion!”
The bandaged man snorted coldly, “The Three Elders are not dead yet.”
"It is time they were,” the Ancestor of Fire murmured.
And he said no more.
……
Inside the royal mansion, the space was vast.
They occupied almost the most prosperous area.
Rocky hills, pavilions, flowing corridors.
Buildings rose from the ground like dragons in the sky, like tigers descending mountains.
Rare flowers and grasses were planted along the way.
But when Xu Zimei and his entourage entered, the entire royal mansion was on high alert.
Wang Xi was killed.
Now many were summoning the ancestors.
Before the ancestors emerged, they were like headless ants.
The Traceless Compass above Xu Zimei’s head kept rotating.
"The Tyrant Blade hasn’t moved?”
This puzzled Xu Zimei a bit.
He originally thought the other party would keep hiding or escape.
However, the feedback from Traceless showed that the other party had hardly moved.
"Let’s go have a look,” Xu Zimei said.
Under his lead, the crowd marched mightily towards the interior of the royal mansion.
Passing through several halls, eventually, they stopped before a densely vegetated Forbidden Land.
This was the Forbidden Ground of the royal mansion.
When they arrived there, the people of the royal mansion finally could not bear it anymore, all blocking the way to the Forbidden Land.
They would not allow Xu Zimei to enter.
"This is the resting place of the Three Elders, you cannot enter.”
An Elder stepped out to say.
Xu Zimei ignored him, instead squinting his eyes slightly.
Because according to the Traceless’s indication, the Tyrant Blade was hidden inside.
This puzzled him.
How could the Tyrant Blade, an outsider, enter the Forbidden Land?
The people of the royal mansion couldn’t be so brainless, could they?
He was silent for a moment, then finally said, “Let’s go in.”
