The space that had been filled with high temperature also quieted down the moment the blood-red fire crystal quieted down. It returned to its normal constant temperature.

The reason for this change was that Wu Fang's seemingly crazed claw strike had actually concealed a great danger. Qin Rufeng's blood essence had ended up on the surface of the fiery-red fire crystal.

It was precisely because the Crimson Fire Crystal had come into contact with Qin Rufeng's blood essence that it underwent such a transformation. It could be said that the Crimson Fire Crystal was now Qin Rufeng's.

The blood essence that Qin Rufeng had left on the sword had truly been exhausted after a few sudden impacts. Even the last drop of blood essence that he had sworn to protect with his sword had been completely evaporated by the waves of the fire crystals.

However, he did not forget that Qin Rufeng still had a drop of blood essence flowing out. It was the drop of blood essence that had fused into Wu Fang's body. Qin Rufeng's life was in danger, and he had been summoned by his original body.

The drop of blood, which had originally been fused into the bloodline of the Witch clan, was reformed.

Before that claw, Wu Fen had forcefully pulled that drop of spirit blood out of his bloodstream and used his anger as a cover to place that drop of spirit blood on his palm.

The result of this was that his bloodline power would be completely drained. From then on, Wu Fang was not the eldest prince of his clan. He would lose the bloodline of the Suan Ni royal family, and thus lose his Suan Ni royal identity.

It was just an ordinary Suan Ni of the Suan Ni race.

… …

Half a year later, in the highest level of Xuanyuan Pavilion's Elder Hall, Elder Huang and the other three Pavilion Masters looked as if they had aged several dozen years. Their entire bodies seemed to have become much more dispirited.

The elders and the many elders behind them were also silent. The entire hall was filled with silence.

After a while, Elder Huang stood up from his seat as usual, cleared his throat, and said: "The matter has already reached this point. Since my Xuanyuan Hall is the strongest power in Mo Xi, and we have received the respect of many of his forces, then in the face of the crisis in Mosi, we should be able to stand up for ourselves."

However, they didn't expect that the moment Elder Huang said these words, the originally quiet great hall instantly exploded into an uproar. It was as if everyone was competing to discuss this.

However, most of the discussions were about Elder Huang's rebuttal.

Because yesterday, in just one short day, Xuanyuan Pavilion had lost several dozen Profound Master disciples and several Profound Master elders.

The reason was that when Old Huang and the rest brought back the corpse of the elder from the Hundred Miles City half a year ago, they sealed the entrance to the Ancient Profound Desolate Lands, causing the reward for the new disciples to become empty talk.

Moreover, this year, there was no longer a trial ground in the Ancient Profound Desolate Lands to select disciples. Xuanyuan Pavilion could only choose new disciples by competing in martial arts competitions.

However, a few days ago, three days after the Xuanyuan Pavilion's disciple selection competition had begun, not a single disciple from Mo Xi had participated.

Just as they were about to send someone to investigate, a force called the Mysterious Dragon Martial Arts School came to report that there was an extremely powerful bandit group that had appeared out of nowhere near the Great Heavenly Moon Forest.

All of the bandits were cultivators, and the leader was even a mysterious master. The local forces couldn't do anything to the bandits who had such strength.

In the beginning, Xuanyuan Pavilion did not pay attention to this matter and thought that it was just a bunch of bandits who had fallen. Originally, Xuanyuan Pavilion did not want to interfere in this matter, but that person said that when the bandit attacked, black smoke would fill the sky and float around.

This sentence immediately attracted Elder Huang's attention. Although more than half a year had passed, the scene of the elder's death could still be said to be vivid in his mind.

Just as he was about to tell Old Man Baili about something after he had treated him, he was devoured by a ball of black smoke that appeared out of nowhere. Furthermore, his body was badly damaged.

Thus, Elder Huang decided to dispatch a law enforcement team to investigate the situation of these criminals, but not a single one actually survived.

However, they unexpectedly received news from a bandit. It was that they only needed the surrounding area of the Great Moon Forest for their own lives. They would absolutely not take a single step forward, but they hoped that Xuanyuan Pavilion would not interfere in this matter.

Moreover, they had to tell all the members of the Xuanyuan Pavilion that they were not allowed to enter even a single area within their sphere of influence. Otherwise, they would have to fight to the death with the powers of the Xuanyuan Pavilion.

At first, Xuanyuan Pavilion had been furious when they had received this news, but just as they were about to prepare their encirclement and annihilation plan, a few hours ago, the Xuanyuan Bell on the peak of the Xuanyuan Pavilion once again rang out.

Elder Huang quickly went outside to check on the situation. The last time the bell rang, it was because Xuan Yuan Pavilion's support had been too hesitant, resulting in the tragic death of the Elder.

Thus, this time, the Xuan Yuan Pavilion's people immediately stopped their previous grand meeting and came over to check it out under Elder Huang's lead.

However, just as they walked out of Xuanyuan Pavilion, they came face to face with a ball of black mist floating in midair, as well as an enormous figure of a fist.

The fist shadows were filled with the terrifying expressions of humans, radiating with a terrifying aura as they flew towards Elder Huang and the four Pavilion Masters.

Elder Huang and the four Pavilion Masters all snorted coldly, but they did not dare to be careless. This was because the aura emitted from this punch was the might of the realm of the Profound King.

Elder Huang gave a loud shout and a long golden sword appeared. To Elder Huang, the veteran Celestial Sect of Wonders, a Mysterious King cultivation technique was nothing in their eyes.

However, the result was that Elder Huang's sword, as well as his sword style, the Unrestrained Heaven Sword Technique, were all knocked back by the black smoke permeated fist shadows, and they even suffered serious internal injuries.

In the end, he had to rely on the strength of the other four pavilion masters and the support of a portion of the elders in order to block this huge fist shadow.

Elder Huang was also surprised to discover that the strength of the Profound King Stage was just a smokescreen. The true strength of the mid-air man was indeed the same as his, an expert of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Furthermore, he was of the fifth phase of the Mysterious Sect, which was a full two levels higher than his own.

It was no wonder that the enforcement team he sent would not have a chance to live. Even if he did go, he would most likely be severely injured and would probably never be able to return.
