After

the Sky-Burning Evil Flame went to Jiang Chen’s Holy Sea, its

terrifying evil flames immediately went along his eight pulses and his

nine holy pulses, and then spread to his whole body. Jiang Chen’s body

temperature gradually rose, and it seemed like he would start burning at

any second. He couldn’t afford to care about Jiang Yan, Jiang Moliang,

or the others who were rus.h.i.+ng over. He landed on the mountain ridge

beneath him, which was still burning.

Even though the Sky-Burning

Evil Flame submitted to him, its might was no small matter. The reason

why Jiang Yan had managed to become its vessel was that his body was

special. But even though this was the case, he could only use its Third

Transformation’s power. It was fortunate that Jiang Chen’s Dragon and

Phoenix bodies were both related to fire, thus he wasn’t burned to ashes

by it immediately.

As expected of an evil flame. Jiang Chen

recalled how his father controlled the evil fire with ease, and even its

Tenth Transformation was a cinch for him. Only now did he realize how

amazing it was. Now, the Sky-Burning Evil Flame quieted after it spoke

to him just one time. Jiang Chen had to depend upon himself to control

the Sky-Burning Evil Flame.

“The Jiang family must have surely

used a sealing technique to restrict the evil fire, and it’s the reason

why Jiang Yan lost control of it after using the Third Transformation,”

Jiang Chen said inwardly. He planned to use the same tactic. Controlling

it step by step was the only correct path while dealing with a flame

with energy great enough to destroy the world. Jiang Chen placed his

hands before his chest and started quickly weaving hand signs.

Jiang

Moliang had come over, and she furrowed her brows as she looked at

Jiang Chen. All of a sudden, she thought about her own family member and

looked for him everywhere, but in the end, she only found Jiang Yan’s

corpse.

The tall and upright Jiang Yan had already turned into a

dried corpse, and his armor was now sliding off of him. After she

carefully observed him, she discovered that he hadn’t been killed by

someone; it was just that his vitality had been s.n.a.t.c.hed by the

Sky-Burning Evil Flame when it left.

The Family Master will surely

regret it now. An Alien Flame wasn’t worth just 2,000,000,000, and even

100,000,000,000 wasn’t enough to cover it. The Jiang family had planned

to get another apex genius by cultivating the evil flame inside Jiang

Yan’s body. If Jiang Yan had managed to get control over the Sky-Burning

Evil Flame in the future, his fighting prowess would have been

extremely great.

However,

Jiang Yan had died while Jiang Chen got the Sky-Burning Evil Flame. All

of the Jiang family’s members would be pained by such a loss, even

Jiang Moliang.

Lan pointed at Jiang Chen’s location as she shouted, “Look over there!”

When the other people looked, they witnessed the fiery evil flame soaring into the sky.

“This place is dangerous!” Jiang Moliang took Jiang Yan’s corpse before she left with the other three women.

“Sister

Moliang, will the young master be all right?” Lan couldn’t set her mind

at ease, and she still couldn’t be of any help to him.

“It will

depend on his luck.” She really didn’t know whether it would be

considered a violation of the Blood Oath if Jiang Chen was killed by the

Alien Flame, but like Lan, Jiang Moliang was also incapable of

containing what was happening. She transmitted this news back to her

family in a transmission mode used only for emergencies. Jiang Moliang

knew clearly that such news would cause a great sensation in the Jiang

family if it reached them.

“He collected the Alien Flame,” Tang s.h.i.+ya said suddenly.

They

witnessed the Sky-Burning Evil Flame shrinking down, while the burning

mountain and forest’s flame were also absorbed into that area. In the

twinkling of an eye, the flames disappeared and left behind just a

charred land with rising smoke.

Jiang Chen, who had already changed into a new set of clothes, flew into the sky before rus.h.i.+ng toward them.

“His power rose further on.” Tang s.h.i.+ya felt sad as she thought about this.

Jiang

Moliang went over to him and asked, “How did you manage to s.n.a.t.c.h the

Sky-Burning Evil Flame?” This was what she couldn’t understand. It

wasn’t like the Jiang family hadn’t considered extracting the Alien

Flame from Jiang Yan’s body, but they hadn’t managed to do so. Yet Jiang

Chen had managed to s.n.a.t.c.h the Alien Flame when it went out of control.

How many secrets does this person hide? Jiang Moliang couldn’t help but

wonder.

“You won’t believe it, even if I tell you.” Jiang Chen

just beat around the bush, even though he really didn’t lie. If he

informed them that the Alien Flame submitted to him by itself after he

announced his status, they would just take him for a madman.

Now

that he thought of it again, the flame spirit quieted completely after

it said, “Greetings, Your Highness.” Regardless of how Jiang Chen called

it, it wouldn’t respond. It was as if the flame spirit had disappeared

completely. He even started suspecting he had misheard it. However, the

Sky-Burning Evil Flame really had obeyed his order and entered his body.

Jiang

Chen surmised that most of the flame spirit had disappeared along with

the elapsing of such a long time, and it just used its last power to

transmit those words to him. Jiang Chen was oblivious as to why it ended

up falling into the Three Middle Realms, and he was also oblivious to

his father’s current situation. However, since his father lost the

Sky-Burning Evil Flame, his power would deteriorate greatly, and it

wouldn’t manage to get back to its peak state again.

Jiang

Chen couldn’t help but become slightly pessimistic due to such

circ.u.mstances. The Over Cloud Palace, which existed 500 years ago, had

probably already disappeared. However, Jiang Chen could still faintly

feel that something was awaiting him in the Sacred Zone, and he needed

to go solve all of those mysteries.

At this moment, a group of

black-armored guards, as well as several powerful aurae, approached them

from the direction of Beiliang City. “You should all go back to

Beiliang City without us,” Jiang Moliang said to Lan and the other

women. It wasn’t appropriate for outsiders to witness what would occur

afterward, as they might kill all the witnesses.

Tang s.h.i.+ya and Yu

Ling didn’t hesitate and quickly flew away. This was especially the

case for Yu Ling, as she was afraid that Jiang Chen would cause trouble

for her. As for Lan, she wasn’t willing to leave, and it was only when

Jiang Chen and Jiang Moliang glared at her with their stern gazes that

she finally left.

“You asked him all along to spare me, but you

never asked me to spare him,” Jiang Chen stated when he felt Jiang

Moliang’s reproachful gaze.

Jiang Moliang sneered coldly as she replied, “That’s right, isn’t? This isn’t related to you at all.”

Jiang

Chen quieted and didn’t say anything more. He turned his attention to

the Jiang family’s troops, who were coming over. The black-armored

guards were Beiliang City’s guards. Jiang Chen knew most of them, and it

was also the case for the two Celestial Venerables.

However, the

leaders of this group weren’t the two Celestial Venerables but three

gray-haired old men at the Celestial Venerable Realm. They all wore a

solemn look, didn’t utter a single word, and just went to receive Jiang

Yan’s corpse.

After they verified that the Sky-Burning Evil Flame

in Jiang Yan’s body had disappeared, they cast their gazes upon Jiang

Chen. “Young Master Feng, please hand over the Sky-Burning Evil Flame.”

Sure enough, they made that request. It seemed reasonable and fair to

them.

“If I release the Sky-Burning Evil Flame in my body, will your Jiang family be capable of subduing it?” Jiang Chen asked.

“It’s none of your business.” The three people didn’t want to argue over it.

“What

if I refuse?” Jiang Chen spoke coldly. He didn’t feel like he had

s.n.a.t.c.hed the Sky-Burning Evil Flame from the Jiang family, but that he

had just taken back his own family’s possession. However, he couldn’t

state such an opinion.

“The Jiang family agreed to provide you

with all its resources, but that doesn’t include letting you kill our

Jiang family’s disciple and steal his Alien Flame.” The three Celestial

Venerables restrained themselves. If there wasn’t a Blood Oath between

them, they would have killed such a person many times.

“What if I

refuse?” Jiang Chen didn’t argue with them and expressed his decision.

The sky descended into silence while a bone-chilling killing intent

permeated it.

“We will then capture you and take back the Alien

Flame. Moreover, we will probably take other objects from you as well.

Is such an outcome to your satisfaction?”
