“Master got the news that fellow Daoist Lonemoon was heading to Yuan Yang City, just in case, he prepared some usable items.” As he went on, he pulled opened the storage bag and brought out a pile of containers and bottles. “These are blood staunching pills, these are awakening pills, these are Qi Condensation pills, these are poison resisting pills…” He shoved everything over, at last he looked around before handing over a very small and exquisite bottle and said mysteriously in a low voice, “This is a ninth-grade nine swirls reviving pill, Master said he only has this one left, as long as the person still has a breath, he can be saved by eating this pill, fellow Daoist do keep it properly.”
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Shen Ying: “…”
Instantly two pairs of suspecting narrowed eyes fixed on to Lonemoon.
Ooh~~~~~
“Shut up!” Lonemoon turned back and glared at the two. “I didn’t do anything at all, alright?”
Hmm~~~~
“Hmm your ass!” What the hell are those gazes like I’m a kept man? “Get rid of those lovey-dovey grins!” Don’t have nonsensical thoughts!
How would he know what was up with Tian Yi that old fogey, suddenly sending so many kinds of pills to him? He was a proper business and had bluffed him according to routine, how could he have expected that Tian Yi really took it for real.
Um… he suddenly felt a little guilty, why was that so.
“Fellow Daoist Lonemoon?” Seeing his extended silence, Chen Lin could not help but call out. His gaze was filled with envy, this was the nine swirls reviving pill, even he hadn’t gotten one from Master! It was evidence of the close relation between Master and this person.
“Th… Thank you Senior Brother!” The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched before he took everything.
“You’re too polite!” Chen Lin quickly waved his hand and said. “Fellow Daoist and my Master are friends, I cannot bear your addressing me as Senior Brother!”
“Heh heh…”
“If you have nothing else for me, I shall take my leave first.” Glancing at the pills in his hands, he reminded again, “Please keep these pills properly.” With that said, he turned and left.
Lonemoon: “…”
“Here!” He stuffed all those pills in his hands to Two-Bucks Zuo beside him.
“Huh?” Zuo Shuming was stunned and frantically caught everything that they didn’t fall to the ground. “Lonemoon, this is…”
“Take them! Put them away.” Lonemoon said. Although these items weren’t of much use to him, to Two-Bucks Zuo, a real Foundation Establishment cultivator, they were really useful. And the pills for all aspects were prepped.
“But…” This was given to you by Supremacy Tian Yi.
“Just take it when I tell you to, why do you have so much to say?” Who’s the weakest here, do you have no damn idea?
“…” Um, why does it seem like Brother Lonemoon’s mood suddenly turned bad and why does he have an illusion that he was being looked down on. After some thought, Zuo Shuming could only quietly put them all into his storage bag, never mind, at most, he’ll keep them on Brother Lonemoon’s behalf, when he needs them, he’ll return them to him!

Perhaps because this matter was really urgent, for the journey that initially would take two hours, they arrived half an hour earlier. From afar, they could see that this entire immortal city was suffused with a gray heretic aura. And shreds of icy cold aura were continuously surging over from the east of the city. There was rarely any vitality around the whole immortal city, it appeared slightly desolate.
Shu Yuan who was leading the team frowned, he alighted ahead of everyone and activated the city defense wards. In the next moment, the array formation in the city flashed brightly, a layer of transparent ward rose up and shielded the entire immortal city in it. That steady flow of icy cold aura was also closed off outside.
By the time everyone alighted, there were already about eight cultivators waiting in the middle of the city.
“Perfected Shu Yuan!” The one right in front was the City Lord, seeing everyone, he was delighted and immediately came forward. When he caught sight of Yi Qing at the side, he paused for a moment. “This is?”
“This is Supremacy Yi Qing.” Shu Yuan introduced.
“Supremacy!” He was shocked and quickly bowed again.
“City Lord Yuan, how is the situation in the city now?” Shu Yuan questioned frantically.
The other party then answered, “Replying to Perfected One, most people injured by the heretic aura are average mortals, there are a total of more than a thousand of them. Some orthodox sect cultivators who accidentally entered the forest have also been infiltrated by the heretic aura, especially a team of cultivators from yesterday. They happened to come from the border cities, as they passed by the forest, they were injured by the deviant fire, I’m afraid they won’t be able to hang on for long.”
“You’re saying that the deviant fire has yet to be extinguished!” Shu Yuan was shocked.
“It hasn’t!” The City Lord also wore a troubled look.
His frown deepened. Yuan Yang City was an immortal city under the charge of Gui Yi Sect, most people doing business in the city were the outer sect disciples of Gui Yi Sect, the people of the city had naturally always been under the protection of Gui Yi Sect. According the City Lord’s descriptions, it seemed like this matter was more severe than they had imagined.
“This time the sect sent 40 disciples, quickly bring lead them to give treatment to the injured in the city.”
“Yes, Perfected One!” The City Lord quickly responded.
Shu Yuan then turned back to give everyone some instructions, telling them not to leave the city no matter what before letting them follow the City Lord to disperse and treat the injured people. He then turned towards Yi Qing beside him. “Supremacy…”
“I’ll go take a look at the area of the deviant fire! You stay here!” With that said, Yi Qing did not drag his feet, after exchanging a look with Lonemoon, he flew off on his sword along with Shen Ying, heading to the east where blasts of icy cold auras were surging from.
Almost in the same moment they left the city, he felt an icy Qi hit him. The closer they went to the forest in the east, the stronger the cold aura. It even came with a chill that felt like it was about to infiltrate into one’s soul.
A while later, a charred smell filled the air, from far they saw they sea of burned blackness in the front, there were also traces of white flames slowly spreading out.
Those flames were very special, unlike all other kinds of flames. It wasn’t warm at all, instead it came with a chill, said to be a fire but it felt more like ice. However, everywhere that it passed, it burned everything to the ground.
This was…
Yi Qing was shocked and subconsciously cried out.
“Dark fire!”
****
At the same time, in Yuan Yang City, a disciple who was about to treat a cultivator burned by the deviant fire had just pushed a trace of Spirit Qi into him, instantly a white flame leaped out of the victim’s body.
“AHH!”
The disciple shrieked, wanting to retreat, but it was already too late, his entire arm was surrounded by the flame instantly.
“Junior Brother!” Zuo Shuming who happened to be beside him was shocked and subconsciously wanted to pull him away.
Lonemoon acted fast and tugged him back, then took a step forward, pressed down the disciples right arm that was on fire and swept through it with his divine power, that white flame was then extinguished.
His expression darkened at once, why would the dark fire appear in the mortal realm?
