16 Chapter 16 The Person Who Dares to Underestimate Senior Li_1

Facing the question from Long Ziying, both Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei felt somewhat embarrassed.

Huo Xuanfei said, "To report to the Dragon Virgin, within our Fire Country, the only person who has cultivated the Profound Fire Eyes is the Fire Emperor."

"We have barely managed to cultivate the Bright Fire Eyes."

The cultivation of the Profound Fire Eyes is too difficult.

Aside from needing exceptional comprehension and aptitude, it also requires a lot of fire-attributed treasures to assist.

Such as Xuanhuo Wood and the like, they are extremely rare, nearly impossible for an entire country to find.

Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei, also considered geniuses in their clan, could only manage to cultivate the Bright Fire Eyes.

"I suppose it is so, after all, the secret technique of a Supreme Monarch is not easy to cultivate."

Long Ziying nodded, but there was a hint of disappointment in her beautiful eyes.

"Ultimately the Bright Fire Eyes are much weaker, if only they could be stronger, that would be ideal…"

She murmured to herself.

Huo Mingxuan asked, "May I inquire, Venerable, does the Secret Realm this time have any connection with the Eye Technique of our Fire Country?"

Long Ziying nodded and said, "Without wanting to disappoint the two of you, we have already ascertained that the opening of this Secret Realm is very likely related to the Supreme Monarch Lihuo, who once dominated the Southern Territory of Xuan Tian Realm without meeting any rival!"

Supreme Monarch Lihuo!

Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei were both greatly astonished!

This was actually a Supreme Monarch's Secret Realm??

No wonder, no wonder this time even a force like the Dragon Profound Sect was alarmed.

"I understand now. Our Eye Technique of the Fire Country, according to legend, was handed down by the Supreme Monarch Lihuo. One of our clan elders once followed beside the Supreme Monarch Lihuo…"

Huo Mingxuan revealed a grave secret.

Cultivating the Eye Technique of the Supreme Monarch Lihuo would definitely provide numerous conveniences within the Secret Realm.

This was the reason Long Ziying extended an olive branch. Otherwise, why would the Dragon Virgin of the mighty Dragon Profound Sect take any interest in them?

Lifting his head, he said, "Please rest assured, Venerable. Although we possess only the Bright Fire Eyes, our clan has an item that can greatly enhance our Eye Technique!"

"Temporarily reaching the realm of the Profound Fire Eyes is not impossible."

"Where is that item now?" Long Ziying asked.

Huo Mingxuan revealed a slight smile and said, "It's with my Third Sister!"

"And she is currently at the Lihuo Sect!"

Long Ziying also revealed a smile, saying, "Since that's the case, how about the two of you accompany me to the Secret Realm this time? There are some areas where I need to rely on your Bright Fire Eyes, and in turn, I can bring many benefits to both of you."

Upon hearing this, both of them were overjoyed!

To be able to forge a connection with the Venerable of a Supreme Level force was more than they could ask for!

"We will certainly do our utmost!"

Huo Mingxuan spoke eagerly!

"Now, let's go retrieve the item from the Lihuo Sect first!"

...

The Divine Dragon Boat was incredibly fast.

In no time at all, they had already appeared on the outskirts of the Lihuo Sect.

"Dragon Profound Sect's Dragon Virgin Long Ziying, Fire Country's Huo Mingxuan, Huo Xuanfei, have arrived at the Lihuo Sect!"

A thundering voice shook the wilderness!

Within the Lihuo Sect, everyone was shocked.

"Dragon Profound Sect... What has brought such a top-tier sect here?"

Yu Qishui and others were surprised!

"Dragon Profound Sect... It seems this Secret Realm is of a higher level than I had imagined!"

Fire Spirit was solemn, and thinking of the two who accompanied Long Ziying, her expression darkened!

"Let's go, let's take a look outside. Whatever the force, I believe it must all be within Senior Li's calculations!"

The crowd then made their way outside.

The Divine Dragon Boat had already stopped at the gate of the sect.

Long Ziying, along with Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei, had already disembarked.

"Nascent Soul Fifth Stage? Truly worthy of being the Dragon Virgin of the Dragon Profound Sect!"

Yu Qishui took one glance and was deeply shocked!

This Long Ziying, she appeared to be only about twenty years old, right?

Is this the depth of a Supreme Level force?

"Lihuo Sect's Sect Master Wei Yushan, greets the Dragon Virgin, and extends his respects to the Great Prince and the Second Princess!"

Wei Yushan gave a slight bow to the group.

Long Ziying, however, looked indifferently at Fire Spirit and asked, "Is this the Third Princess of the Fire Country?"

She had noticed Fire Spirit's eyes.

For some reason, she felt somewhat dazzled when facing Fire Spirit's eyes.

It was as though there were two vigorous flames!

Much stronger than Huo Mingxuan and the others.

Was it because of that treasure? She suddenly felt more at ease; it seemed the item was indeed useful!

"Indeed."

Fire Spirit nodded.

Huo Mingxuan stepped forward, sneering, "Third Sister, I'm not going to waste words with you, hand over the Xuanhuo Ring!"

Haughty and domineering!

Fire Spirit's face darkened as she said, "This is an heirloom from our mother; you have no right to demand it from me!"

"Your mother?"

Empress Xuan stepped forward with a cold laugh, "Isn't your mother a citizen of the Fire Nation? After her death, this thing should belong to our entire Royal Family of the Fire Nation!"

"On what grounds do you claim it for yourself?"

In Fire Spirit's eyes, an even stronger wave of anger shot out, "My mother fought to protect the Fire Emperor and fell victim to an assassination plotted by your mother, and yet you have the nerve to ask for it?"

Her heart was filled with hatred!

—Ten years ago, the Wind Nation launched a surprise attack on the Fire Emperor who was breaking through to the Mahayana Realm.

At that time, Fire Spirit's mother, a concubine of the royal family, burned her life to save the Fire Emperor.

Just as she finally managed to hold on until the Fire Emperor's breakthrough and the retreat of the enemies, she was ambushed by someone sent by the Empress of the Fire Nation—mother to Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan—and had her last vestige of life snuffed out.

In the face of all this, the Fire Emperor only killed the assailant and gave Fire Spirit's mother a lavish burial, without pursuing the real mastermind...

For so many years, she had never forgotten such a great hatred!

Hatred had always been her driving force.

Huo Mingxuan immediately became displeased, "The incident from that year is over. By bringing up the past, are you expressing dissatisfaction with the Father Emperor?"

"Now, I am working for the well-being of the Royal Family of the Fire Nation, whether you like it or not, you gotta hand it over!"

Aggressively imposing!

Fire Spirit bit her lower lip hard, her fists clenched tightly, almost embedding into her flesh!

"We're only borrowing it for a moment, please be generous, Miss."

At this moment, Long Ziying also spoke indifferently.

A subtle presence began to emanate from her.

Opression!

Fire Spirit's heart completely sank.

Can't she even keep her mother's memento?

"You are going too far. If Sister Ling'er is unwilling, are you planning to rob her?"

At this point, Mu Qianning couldn't help but speak out.

"How dare you speak out in the presence of our Sect's Saintess, you insignificant ant?"

Behind Long Ziying, an old man's face darkened as a breath of air burst forth!

"Be careful, Qianning!"

Yu Qishui's face changed, he stepped forward to shield Mu Qianning, but the terrifying aura made him spit out a mouthful of blood!

Hollow Void!

This was an attack from the Hollow Void Realm!

"Master Ancestor!"

Mu Qianning's face changed drastically, and she quickly helped Yu Qishui.

"You all!"

Wei Yushan's eyes also filled with rage, clenching his fists!

This was too much bullying!

"Did I tell you to attack?" Long Ziying frowned.

The old man's face changed slightly and said, "Sorry, Saintess, I only intended to administer a small punishment."

Long Ziying said, "Fine."

"Do you really think you are the strongest just because you're so brazen?!"

Wei Yushan spoke angrily.

Long Ziying, however, responded indifferently, "I am aware that you have backers, but what of it? Sorry, the so-called strong ones backing you all up, we at the Dragon Profound Sect, truly do not care."

"The powerhouses in your eyes, to us, are merely ants."

This was an innate sense of superiority!

Born into a Supreme level force, what kind of powerhouses had she not come into contact with?

They had long since investigated, behind the Lihuo Sect there were people, but at most a Venerable from the Body Integration Realm, but so what?

Not worth mentioning!

Wei Yushan was practically about to laugh in anger.

In this world, there could still be people who dare show such disdain for Senior Li?

If he wasn't worried about revealing the existence of Senior Li which might alarm others and spoil Senior Li's grand scheme, he truly wished to reveal the truth and see if these people still had the audacity to be so arrogant!

At that moment, Fire Spirit's face also turned pale.

She completely understood that the situation was beyond her control.

Behind Huo Mingxuan and the rest was now the Dragon Profound Sect.

"Either hand it over or prepare for you and the Lihuo Sect, these insignificant ants, to perish together!"

Huo Mingxuan spoke very directly, his face wearing a cruel smile!

Fire Spirit fell silent, silent, until she finally extended her hand.

A fiery red ring appeared in her hand.

"Heh, if you had handed it over earlier, wouldn't things have been easier?"

Empress Xuan went forward with a cold laugh and snatched the Xuanhuo Ring.

The hate-filled gaze from Fire Spirit suddenly made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. She then added another phrase: "Don't look so full of hatred. My mother killed your mother, so what can you do about it?"

"A lowly bastard born of a concubine, do you really regard yourself as a princess?"

After speaking, she turned to look at Long Ziying with a smile, "Saintess, we have obtained the item."

Long Ziying, with her aloof character, spoke indifferently, "Good, let's go."

The group then stepped onto the Divine Dragon Boat and flew away directly!
