Chapter 729: Chapter 658: Counterattacking the Heavenly Fire Sect_4

This in turn led to a small number of cultivators who were also highly concentrated.

As long as Gu Jinlai just needed to go to the place where the Heavenly Fire Sect’s Spiritual Veins were located and crush the Heavenly Fire Sect, even if there were a few fish that slipped through the net elsewhere, the Heavenly Fire Sect would be considered completely destroyed.

...

The Heavenly Fire Sect.

As the dominators of the Flame River Dao, they always regarded Flame River Dao as their own backyard.

Although they were under pressure from the Lord of the Northern Domain, and other overlord forces nearby might covet Flame River Dao, their control and suppression of the sects within Flame River Dao were relentless.

There were rumors within Creation Gate that the reason for its split decades ago was due to the Heavenly Fire Sect fanning the flames behind the scenes. In fact...

This was simply the truth.

It was just that Creation Gate did not dare to completely fall out with the Heavenly Fire Sect, so they spread the news in the form of rumors, hoping to stir up other forces in Flame River Dao with the dread of shared misfortune.

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.

At this time, inside the Heavenly Fire Sect, Sect Master Yu Hanshan hurried to the mountain where Daoist Zi Yan, the Supreme Elder, was in reclusive cultivation.

Upon seeing the Sect Master, who was like a son-in-law to the Zi Family, the Supreme Elder slightly lowered his eyes, "You’ve come in such haste—has the Grotto Heaven outside Creation Gate finally been forged, or are Yunxiao Sect, Wind and Rain Tower, and these other powers causing trouble again, criticizing our Heavenly Fire Sect for targeting Creation Gate?"

"No, we’ve received news about Jiang Yufeng, the Innate Sacred Supreme Elder from Creation Gate."

Yu Hanshan spoke anxiously as he handed over a piece of intelligence, showing a look of shock and uncertainty. "According to the latest intelligence from our dark sons, Jiang Yufeng’s strength... may be far more than just a Top Heavenly Immortal as said by the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect."

"Hmm?"

Daoist Zi Yan took the intelligence from Yu Hanshan, and his expression changed abruptly, "The Red Flame Canyon!? I remember Daoist Xuan Jian stationed himself in the Red Flame Canyon!? Jiang Yufeng actually managed to break through his siege? And according to the intelligence, Master Wanxiang and Red Star Daoist were also there, and Master Wanxiang even used the Power of Earth Heaven Dao!? He broke through that as well?"

His gaze immediately fell on Yu Hanshan, "Didn’t you go to investigate Jiang Yufeng’s true strength?"

"I indeed learned from many sources about the details of the battle where Daoist Xuan Jian struck from afar to snipe Jiang Yufeng. Based on the situation at that time, Jiang Yufeng seemed to be even less than a Top Heavenly Immortal, at most possessing the strength of a High-level Heavenly Immortal. That time, if he hadn’t run fast, he would probably have fallen to Daoist Xuan Jian’s sword already, it’s just... "

Yu Hanshan’s expression turned unpleasant, "Maybe... he wasn’t ready to go all out against the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect back then to avoid provoking their full hostility, so he might have hidden his true power... "

Daoist Zi Yan’s expression went through a series of changes.

"According to the intelligence, Daoist Xuan Jian had already moved his Grotto Heaven to the Red Flame Canyon long ago, in other words, what Gu Jinlai faced was Daoist Xuan Jian at his strongest, plus Master Wanxiang was also on site... and even used the Power of Earth Heaven... Even if Gu Jinlai didn’t directly clash with them but merely broke through, to achieve this is way beyond what can be measured by the strength of a Top Heavenly Immortal."

After a brief estimation, Daoist Zi Yan quickly came to a startling conclusion.

"He must have at least the strength of a Daoist Master Level!"

"A Daoist Master!?"

Yu Hanshan felt a profound shock, "According to our investigation, Gu Jinlai took the path of an Innate Sacred, with the strength of a Daoist Master Level Innate Sacred..."

The two of them simultaneously realized that they were in big trouble.

"Didn’t Master Wanxiang say that we, the Heavenly Fire Sect, just have to deal with Creation Gate, and he would personally handle Gu Jinlai? But now, he let him escape right when we were about to go to full-scale war with Creation Gate. Send a message to Master Wanxiang immediately."

Daoist Zi Yan said sternly, "He must give our Heavenly Fire Sect an explanation."

"I’m sending a message to the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect right now."

Yu Hanshan declared.

But before he could make any move, an overwhelming and majestic aura, like a Great Sun sweeping across the Sky Dome, carrying scorching and blazing pressure, headed straight for the Heavenly Fire Sect.
