Chapter 989: Chapter 781: Crossing the Flame Bridge (Part 2)
“Speaking of which, does Teng Jinghua not fear the consequences from the Yin Yang Sect for offending them during the Fierce Moon Selection?”
“He’s no fool. In my view, there’s only one reason—Qingming Palace’s experts must be nearby…or rather, present in the arena!”
Even the spectators could come to such a conclusion, so naturally Cao Yuanzheng and the others on the northern high platform wouldn’t miss this point.
Cao Yuanzheng’s gaze swept across the arena and suddenly discovered something, finally resting on Su Yuan and his companion to the south.
“Palace Master of Qingming Palace, since you’ve graced Fire Cloud City with your presence, there’s no need to be so secretive!” Cao Yuanzheng’s voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire arena.
His words caused a huge commotion, and the crowd exploded with chatter!
“Qingming Palace Master? Who could it be?”
“Is he really here to watch the battle?”
Everyone quickly followed Cao Yuanzheng’s gaze towards the southern high platform.
But the southern high platform only had some second or third-rate force experts, even they were utterly confused.
However, when everyone in the crowd is looking in one direction and only a few are not, those few become conspicuous.
All of a sudden, everyone’s gaze involuntarily fell on the youth and young girl with silver hair, filled with suspicion.
Su Yuan chuckled softly, “I’ve been here all along, yet Alliance Leader Cao didn’t notice at all, so how could there be talk of concealment?”
Cao Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes, looking at Su Yuan, a gleam of coldness flashed in his gaze.
Zhou Yi’s expression turned icy, and he sneered, “What a sharp tongue!”
Lin Yong and the drinking Wei Qingyun curiously studied this new star who unified the coast and founded Qingming Palace.
Cao Yuan stood up and stepped towards the edge of the high platform.
Accompanied by a surge of burning star power fluctuation, fierce blue flames began to whirl around him.
With his final step, the fierce blue flames underfoot rose up and swept forward, forming a Fiery Flame Bridge spanning the arena from south to north in moments!
The blue flames seemed made of liuli, beautiful yet subtly distorting the surrounding space.
The Lower Three Levels couldn’t quite see, but the Upper Three-level experts gazed at the Fiery Flame Bridge and felt their scalps tingle!
Even the Burning Sun experts on high platforms to the east, west, and south were shocked, secretly estimating whether they could withstand the terrifying blue flames on the bridge! Updates are released by novel·fire.net
Cao Yuanzheng said loudly, “Palace Master Su unified the coast, we admire it. Since you’re here, why not move over here for a chat? With Palace Master Su’s esteemed status, sitting among spectators, wouldn’t outsiders say my Fire God Alliance lacks hospitality?”
Qiu Rong, Zhou Yi, Lin Yong, and others all turned to look at Su Yuan.
From all directions, the entire Fire Cloud Arena audience also looked over!
Undoubtedly, this was a veritable banquet of intrigue!
A terrifying Fiery Flame Bridge and Chongyang Realm experts from the four major sects of the Central Alliance gathering together…
The audience watched Su Yuan intently, unsure how he would handle the situation.
Seeing Su Yuan unresponsive, Cao Yuanzheng pressed further, “Is it that my place is too humble or does Palace Master Su look down on us?”
“Alliance Leader Cao jokes.” Su Yuan chuckled lightly and stood up, “Since you insist so graciously, how could I dare refuse?”
Su Yuan stepped out, walking in the void towards the Fiery Flame Bridge, while Luo Bingtong quietly followed behind.
Glancing at the blue flame bridge beneath their feet, Su Yuan was expressionless and effortlessly stepped onto it.
“What’s going on, why isn’t he burning?” The surrounding spectators were extremely surprised.
Lin Yong frowned in concentration, “What’s this ability?”
Zhou Yi’s eyes flickered with water and fire, “He has an invisible energy field around him that blocks the flames.”
“Really, he can easily block Alliance Leader Cao’s flames without even a hint of energy fluctuation.”
Cao Yuanzheng raised an eyebrow, “Seems like a Rule System ability!”
In a moment, Su Yuan had already traversed half the distance across the bridge with Luo Bingtong.
Zhou Yi coldly said, “Alliance Leader Cao, there’s no need for courtesy, let’s test this Qingming Palace Master’s skills!”
Cao Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes, focusing his mind, and suddenly the quietly intense blue flame bridge surged, rising over ten feet high in an instant, engulfing Su Yuan!
With the unexpected turn of events, the surrounding crowd was shocked.
“That’s Alliance Leader Cao’s flame; a sudden attack can’t even be resisted by Burning Sun level!”
The Burning Sun experts from other factions on the eastern, western, and southern high platforms were slightly tense, but not too surprised.
Qingming Palace’s existence had already severely threatened Fire God Alliance’s dominion over the Western Desert.
Moreover, according to some secret reports, the Fire God Alliance seemed to have quietly started to prepare against Qingming Palace.
But unexpectedly, Qingming Palace’s mysterious palace master came on his own initiative!
No matter how you look at it, it seemed a bit overconfident…
“Hmm?” Suddenly someone noticed something and exclaimed, “There’s black flame there!”
The massive blue flame bridge was now faintly tinged with black.
In the next moment, accompanied by intense fluctuations, a dominant, eerie jet-black flame erupted from within, instantly dispersing all the surrounding blue flames!
At the center of the black flames stood Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong, completely unharmed!
“Hmm?!” Cao Yuanzheng showed surprise.
Cold light flickered in Su Yuan’s eyes, and with a thought, the Undying Evil Fire tore through the Fiery Flame Bridge, consuming it and reaching Cao Yuanzheng in mere moments!
Cao Yuanzheng’s expression grew tense, quickly raising his hands as nine azure Flame Dragons charged forth, swirling around him to form the Nine Dragon Flame Sun Cover!
Yet the flaming cover formed by the nine Flame Dragons began to collapse from the relentless erosion and burning of the Undying Evil Fire, threatening to engulf and consume Cao Yuanzheng!
Qiu Rong, Zhou Yi, and others’ expressions changed, not expecting the flames to be so fierce that even Cao Yuanzheng struggled!
The two immediately stood to step forward and assist, but just then, the wandering dragon fierce flame surrounding Cao Yuanzheng shifted from blue to purple, with Chongyang Realm star power’s full force finally dispersing the black evil fire!
The Undying Evil Fire didn’t continue to resist but quickly retracted like a receding black tide.
As the black evil flames dissipated, Su Yuan carried Luo Bingtong with a step onto the northern high platform.
“Alliance Leader Cao’s hospitality is truly blazing hot…”
Su Yuan slowly raised his head, gazing at the Chongyang Realm experts from various sects of the Central Alliance before him.
“Qingming Palace’s Su Yuan!”
Qiu Rong, Lin Yong, Zhou Yi, and Wei Qingyun all looked gravely at the silver-haired young man ahead.
Cao Yuanzheng slightly lowered his gaze, catching a glimpse of his right sleeve of upmarket spirit silk… half of it was burned away!
