Chapter 267: Discussion of the Fire Tribe
In a fishing village on the east coast of the Red Flame Continent, the sun slowly rose at 12:30 AM, casting its golden light across the sea, shimmering in the water. The villagers began a new day of busy work. Fishermen sorted their nets, preparing to go out to sea, while women busied themselves with household chores around the house.
A flying boat was flying rapidly on the sea surface. A black spot gradually grew larger and flew to the edge of the fishing village. Three people got off the flying boat.
Suddenly, a demonic aura filled the area within a radius of ten miles. The mortals in the fishing village looked at the three people with fear in their eyes, and the entire small mountain village fell into despair.
The monk in white shirt and blue robe landed on the beach, reached out to put away the flying boat, and snorted coldly.
The two people behind him quickly restrained their breath, and after a few breaths, the terrifying demonic energy gradually dissipated.
The blue-robed monk turned to the two people beside him and said, "You two can leave now. Don't harm the mortals here, otherwise..."
"Yes, senior. Although we are transformed from monsters, we are also cultivators. It is our honor to serve you." One of them had a ferocious look on his face. If you look closely, you can see the outline of a fish head.
"We agreed that as long as you travel day and night and send me to the coast of the Red Flame Continent, I will reward each of you with a bottle of elixir. Well, take care of yourself!" The blue-robed monk threw out two bottles of elixir, summoned a flying shuttle, soared into the air, entered it, and disappeared from the sight of the two men in a few breaths.
"Brother, now that he's gone, why don't we..." Another fat-headed humanoid monster stretched out a scaly hand and scratched his neck.
The ferocious-looking humanoid monster pondered for a while, then shook its head and said in a deep voice, "No, since we have already taken his medicine, let's return to the Chaotic East Sea and not kill anyone."
"Brother! You?" the fat-headed monster asked in confusion.
"Stop talking and go!" The ferocious-looking demon turned around and flew away.
The fat-headed demon looked at the frightened eyes of the mortals in the fishing village and felt unwilling. This was such a good blood meal. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would be able to have a full meal again.
Turning around and seeing that his elder brother had already gone far away, he could only jump up angrily and chase after him in the air.
Half a minute later, Shi Chen flew in from a distance. Looking at the direction of the two humanoid monsters going away, a chill gradually rose in his heart. After a few breaths, he calmed down.
"Hmph! Fortunately, that ferocious-looking monster still has some sense. Otherwise, I would not be violating my moral principles by killing these two monsters." Shi Chen pondered.
Looking at the mortals in the fishing village who were frightened by the evil spirit, he waved his hand, and his spiritual power turned into a hurricane, blowing away in all directions. In a few breaths, the evil spirit disappeared.
He stepped back onto the shuttle and quickly flew away.
On the East China Sea, dozens of miles away from the fishing village, the man with a hideous face turned into a big-mouthed sea monster and fell into the sea.
"Brother, the monk has gone far away. Why don't we go back, slaughter the people in the fishing village and have a good meal." The fat-headed monster who was still in the air was eager to try and looked back at the fishing village.
"Idiot, why don't you leave? Are you sure he can go far? Let's get a bottle of elixir from him. When we return to the territory, we can use up the elixir and increase our demonic power by at least ten years. Those mortal blood foods can't compare to that." After the big-mouthed sea monster finished speaking, he dived into the sea and disappeared from the surface of the Hundong Sea.
The fat monster turned around and looked at the sea, then turned into a huge puffer fish, fell into the sea, and disappeared.
Half a minute later, Shi Chen stood on the sea where the two monsters disappeared. He swept his spiritual sense across and saw that there was no trace of them within a hundred miles. Then he summoned the flying boat and returned to the Chiyan Continent.
Three days later, Shi Chen returned to the Holy City of Chiyan Continent.
Walk out of the teleportation array, take out the communication symbol, and meet Huo Wei.
Half a minute later, Shi Chen arrived at the Huolie Tribe Temple. Huo Wei was waiting at the door with a smile on her face. When she saw Shi Chen get off the beast cart, she immediately came forward to greet him.
"Master Shi, the clan leader is already waiting in the main hall, please follow me!" Huo Wei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Huowei!" Shi Chen bowed.
Shi Chen followed Huo Wei into the Fire Tribe's temple. This magnificent building exuded an ancient and solemn atmosphere. The tall stone pillars were carved with mysterious runes and patterns, as if telling the Fire Tribe's long history.
Walking into the main hall, he saw the Fire Tribe leader sitting in the main seat, his expression solemn. His eyes fell on Shi Chen and he nodded slightly.
Shi Chen took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Chief."
The clan leader raised his hand slightly and said, "Master Shi, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."
Shi Chen sat down as he was told, pondering the purpose of his visit. He knew that finding the origin of the realm was crucial and required the full support of the Fire Tribe.
The clan leader looked at Shi Chen and said slowly, "Thank you, Master, for your great assistance in unifying the three Huolie clans. Although my brother has fallen, your kindness and loyalty will be remembered by the Huolie clan."
Shi Chen quickly stood up and bowed again, saying, "You are too kind, Chief. The unification of the three Huolie tribes is an inevitable trend. I can only do my bit to help."
The clan leader nodded slightly, his expression solemn, and said, "I heard from Weiwei that you have something important to discuss with my Fire Clan. This matter concerns the entire cultivation world. I wonder if this is true?"
"It is absolutely true now," Shi Chen took out a formation flag with his left hand, waved his right hand, and an image of the Hundonghai area with spiritual power appeared in front of him.
He pointed to a sea area in the map and continued, "Patriarch, you can take this formation flag and go to this place in Hundong Sea. Use your spiritual power to activate the formation flag, and you can enter the island with the mountain of corpses and the pool of blood. But please don't go on top of the mountain of corpses."
"Why don't we go up and investigate?" asked the Fire Chief.
"The nine-layer sealing formation above has been isolated by me and can no longer function normally. The aura of resentment is strong. The cultivators who are investigating may be drawn into the bone cave and die." Shi Chen explained.
"The corpses of millions of ancient cultivators and the resentful energy of a hundred thousand years, even if I go there, I am afraid it will be difficult to control it. I will immediately send a cultivator of the Divine Transformation Realm to investigate. As soon as the facts are revealed, I will immediately order the tribesmen to search for abnormal phenomena in the world on the Chiyan Continent with all their might." Tribe leader Huolie said solemnly.
Shi Chen said gratefully, "Thank you, Clan Leader. This matter is of great importance. If we can find the origin of the realm, we can not only save the cultivation world, but also protect the Chiyan Continent from disaster."
The tribe leader nodded slightly and said, "I understand. As the guardians of the Red Flame Continent, the Fire Tribe should do its part. Master Shi, do you have any new clues or plans?"
Shi Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I am currently preparing to go to Yuanling Continent to discuss cooperation with General Peng. I hope to use his power to jointly search for the origin of the realm."
The tribe leader nodded in agreement. "General Peng is powerful and upright. Cooperating with him is indeed a good choice. If necessary, the Fire Tribe can also send personnel to assist you."
Shi Chen thanked him again: "I am deeply encouraged by the support of the clan leader. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to find the origin of the realm and save the cultivation world."
Afterwards, Shi Chen discussed some specific matters with the clan leader. After deciding on the next course of action, Shi Chen stood up and said goodbye.
Huo Wei escorted Shi Chen out of the temple and said with a smile, "Master Shi, I wish you a safe journey. I look forward to hearing good news from you."
Shi Chen clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Huo Wei. We'll see you later."
