Chapter 361: Fire Spirit Beast
Master Xuanyuan and the other elders immediately understood Heavenly Gates Sect’s intentions. They were using the death of Zhang Xiong and the others as an excuse to force Spirit Radiance Sect to transfer one-tenth of their Spirit Stones.
The Heavenly Gates Sect was really despicable. If they wanted to fight and kill, Spirit Radiance Sect was not afraid of them. However, earth fire only existed in Heavenly Gates Sect’s territory. They were basically forcing Spirit Radiance Sect to give up their share of Spirit Stones.
One-tenth of their Spirit Stones was not a small amount. Most importantly, it was a long-term effective share. It could not be calculated with numbers! They were truly sinister!
No matter what, Heavenly Gates Sect was not at a loss! If Spirit Radiance Sect handed over Yun Chujiu and the others, then their reputation would plummet. The disciples would have no sense of belonging to such a sect. If they did not hand over the four people, then they could only give up their share of Spirit Stones. Otherwise, Spirit Radiance Sect would encounter huge obstacles in refining pills and weapons.
Although Master Xuanyuan was anxious in his heart, his expression was calm. “Master Dugu, everyone has come from afar. It’s better rest at the guest house first. It won’t be too late for us to discuss this even after discussing what had happened!”
Du Guyi was full of confidence. He sneered arrogantly and left with the people of Heavenly Gates Sect.
Master Xuanyuan comforted Yun Chuwu and the other two and gestured for them to leave first. However, he kept Yun Chujiu behind.
“Everyone, what do you think?” Master Xuanyuan looked at everyone.
“The Heavenly Gates Sect is really going too far! Naturally, we can’t hand them over. These four children are clearly victims. Moreover, those bastards deserved to die. Even if Little Jiu killed them, it would still be a good kill!”
“That’s right, we definitely can’t hand them over! The Heavenly Gates Sect has been planning this for a long time. Even if there isn’t such a thing, they will find other excuses to blackmail us! This earth fire being controlled by people was bound to be a drawback sooner or later!”
“Without earth fire, refining pills would still fine, but refining weapons would come to a halt! If we were to buy spirit weapons, it would be too expensive. Secondly, there would also be hidden dangers if we bought from outsiders!”
“But a tenth of the Spirit Stone share is really a huge loss. The Heavenly Gates Sect has a huge appetite! Moreover, with this, it’s inevitable that they will repeat their old tricks in the future. They will gradually erode our Spirit Stone share. Without the support of the Spirit Stones, Spirit Radiance Sect will be in danger!”
…
Yun Chujiu raised her claws and asked weakly, “Everyone, can I ask, what exactly is earth fire? Why does only Heavenly Gates Sect have it? Can’t we use something else to replace it?”
“There’s a strange beast called the Fire Spirit Beast in Qingxuan Continent. The Fire Spirit Beast feeds on ores, and after it digests the ores, it will burn on its own. Over time, it will form an endless stream of earth fire!” Master Xuanyuan explained.
Yun Chujiu rubbed her chin and blinked her eyes. “You mean to say that the earth fire is the burning Fire Spirit Beast’s dregs?”
The corners of everyone’s eyes twitched. Why did they feel that the earth fire was so wretched after Yun Chujiu’s explanation?!
Master Xuanyuan coughed dryly. “You can think of it that way too!”
“Then why don’t we just catch a Fire Spirit Beast?! Why do we have to suffer the wrath of Heavenly Gates Sect?” Yun Chujiu asked in confusion.
“Firstly, these beasts are extremely rare, and secondly, they are extremely difficult to catch. It’s not only us. The other factions have also sent out large numbers of people to search for them, but they have all returned empty-handed. For thousands of years, only the Heavenly Gates Sect managed to catch one by chance!”
“Why don’t we steal the one from the Heavenly Gates Sect!” Yun Chujiu said slyly.
Everyone was speechless.
