Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 267 Burning Heaven Sect

Upon learning that the Spirit Root might still exist in the world, Qinchuan was in no hurry.

Because he learned from Chi Shan that the Hellfire Flame Stone was not brought with him this time.

The crowd majestically returned to Tianqing City through the air.

After returning to Tianqing City, Li Zhi and Chen Baidao took Gongshan Wu back to the royal palace first. Chi Shan seemed to have other matters as well and went with Li Zhi to the palace.

Qinchuan and the others went straight to the Exquisite Pavilion.

Finding another branch of the Gongshan Family in the vast crowd was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Yet, it was best to entrust such a task to Yu Qilin.

After instructing Yu Qilin to search for the Gongshan descendants, Qinchuan ordered Ye Xuanji and Zhou Xi to stay at the Exquisite Pavilion. Besides searching for the Gongshan Family’s descendants, they could also use the influence of the Exquisite Pavilion to look for the rest of the Spiritual Medicine he needed.

After leaving the Exquisite Pavilion, Qinchuan saw Chi Shan, who had concealed his Qi, coming from the direction of the royal palace.

"What trouble has that youngster Chi Hai gotten into now?"

Even though he was facing a Supreme Saint, Qinchuan remained calm and composed, saying this out of the blue without avoiding including Yu Qilin who was beside him.

Chi Shan’s face showed surprise. While others did not understand, he did.

Chi Hai, the son of the founding ancestor Chi Tian of the Burning Heaven Sect, had lived for a hundred thousand years and had even reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm. He could be considered the living history of the Burning Heaven Sect.

Indeed, in recent times, Ancestor Chi Hai encountered some trouble, but it was a closely guarded secret within the sect, known only by the Sect Leader and a few Great Elders. Yet now, Qinchuan had laid it bare with one comment.

Chi Shan glanced at Yu Qilin beside him, but seeing his puzzled face, it was clear that Qinchuan had not learned of this news from the Exquisite Pavilion.

Seeming to discern Chi Shan’s perplexity, Qinchuan shifted the topic and continued.

"Since the Burning Heaven Sect is aware of my identity, I would assume you wouldn’t neglect the task when my people come for the Hellfire Flame Stone. Originally, I thought you came to Northern Desolate City to deliver it personally, but you didn’t bring the Hellfire Flame Stone with you."

Qinchuan paused before continuing, "There are only two reasons for you to come empty-handed: one, there was some issue with the Hellfire Flame Stone and you can’t hand it over. But the place where the Hellfire Flame Stone is stored is protected by a supreme seal, even a Great Emperor cannot break it, so nothing should go wrong. Second, your sole purpose of coming here was for me. However, you are not Chi Tian himself and don’t fully understand my real identity. Although you have a portion of the memory, just that alone wouldn’t warrant making the long trip. Unless, it was instructed by your ancestor. It definitely wasn’t Chi Tian, so it must have been Chi Hai.

"Furthermore, there’s a whiff of the Soul Calming Lamp on you. It’s a Supreme Treasure of the Tianyuan Imperial Family, a Supreme Dao Artifact. Even as the Sect Leader of the Burning Heaven Sect, you wouldn’t be able to borrow it casually. It must have cost a great deal for the Burning Heaven Sect to persuade the Imperial Family to willingly lend you the Soul Calming Lamp. Nobody else but your ancestor would go through such effort to claim a treasure from the Imperial Family. Thus, it’s not hard to deduce that the youngster Chi Hai is in trouble."

Chi Shan stared at Qinchuan in astonishment; every word he had said was accurate.

He had not said a word, merely inviting Qinchuan to visit the Burning Heaven Sect together, yet Qinchuan had seen through everything. He not only knew that his visit was by the instruction of his ancestor but was also aware of the troubles the Elder Chi Hai had encountered.

Seeing Chi Shan’s expression, Yu Qilin also knew that Qinchuan’s guess was correct. Looking at Qinchuan with admiration, he respected the meticulousness of Qinchuan’s Dao Heart, comparable to the Heavenly Dao.

What he did not know was that Qinchuan had lived nine lives, and with his Innate Pupils, seeing through these little secrets was like picking something out of his pocket.

Qinchuan then said, "Let’s go. Since that youngster Chi Hai has invited me, in recognition of the Burning Heaven Sect’s hundred-thousand-year merit of safeguarding the Flame Stone, I shall make the trip."

Qinchuan’s decision to visit the Burning Heaven Sect was not only because Chi Hai was the son of Chi Tian, whom he had met in the past, but he had another reason.

He also planned to visit the Red Blood Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect. At the Teaching Conference, Qinchuan had forced both sects to bow their heads and offer up the Sword Intent Amber and Innate Water, even declaring that he would personally come to collect them. Naturally, he would not go back on his word.

Since both sects were conveniently near the Burning Heaven Sect, he could take this opportunity to visit them along the way.

If the two sects willingly handed over their treasures, all would be well. But if they intended to play any tricks, Qinchuan would not mind causing these sects to vanish!

...

Qinchuan and Chi Shan flew side by side, setting out from Tianqing City.

The Burning Heaven Sect was located south of Tianqing City, and the two places were hundreds of thousands of miles apart. If Qinchuan had travelled at his initial speed nonstop day and night, it would have taken him ten days. However, with Chi Shan by his side, it took them less than a day to reach the location of the Sect—the Fusang Mountain.

Underneath Fusang Mountain, hot lava flowed all year round. When Wei Wei ascended to heaven, it looked like a giant Fusang tree piercing the clouds, which was how it got its name.

Looking around, red cedars covered the entire mountain, resembling a blazing flame.

Mid-way up the mountain amid the misty rain and fog, a cluster of palaces was situated there, the very place where the Burning Heaven Sect practiced their Cultivation Techniques.

Shadows flickered about the practice grounds as quite a few Burning Heaven Sect disciples were cultivating their techniques.

As the two of them flew in through the air, they instantly drew the gaze of many.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Recognizing the newcomers, the Burning Heaven disciples came forward to pay their respects.

Although Chi Shan was the Sect Leader, he returned each greeting with a nod.

While everyone was exchanging pleasantries, a crisp cry suddenly emanated from the summit of Fusang Mountain. The sound carried far and wide, like an ethereal celestial tune from beyond the ninth heaven.

All present lifted their heads to gaze into the void, wondering what was happening.

Chi Shan’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately called over a disciple and instructed him to take Qinchuan to the main hall, while he himself shot into the sky towards the source of the sound.

"My name is Zhong Yun. May I ask the name of this junior brother?"

The disciple assigned to show Qinchuan the way saw him return with the Sect Leader and approached him with a playful attempt at camaraderie.

Qinchuan fixated on Zhong Yun, sensing something unusual about his True Qi, and activated his Innate Pupils.

After a moment, he had roughly guessed the reason.

Qinchuan gave him a faint glance and said, "I’m not any sort of junior brother of yours."

After speaking, Qinchuan stepped forward and started walking toward the main hall on his own, adding, "This young master knows the way to the Burning Heaven Hall, no need to show me."

"Boom!"

This remark sparked a flurry of commotion among the curious onlookers.

"Who is that kid? Why is he so arrogant?"

One disciple was the first to ask.

"I don’t know, but there’s a saying—don’t slap a smiling face. The way he’s talking to Brother Zhong is quite inappropriate."

The crowd each shook their heads.

Another disciple speculated thoughtfully, "Could he be a direct disciple taken in by the Sect Leader?"

Suddenly someone realized something and said, "Right, if he’s a direct disciple of the Sect Leader, then he’d be our senior brother, of course not a junior brother."

News that the Sect Leader was to take on a disciple had already spread a year ago, but to this day, the position of the Sect Leader’s disciple remained unclaimed.

With that remark, the rest of the disciples looked at Qinchuan with unfriendly eyes.
