The Brilliant Fighting Master

“So…did you really witness the Flame Emperor’s leaving? Was he doing well?” the Fire Kylin asked Jiang Chen some questions after they’d finished their discussions.

Although he had been abandoned, he didn’t blame the Fire Emperor.

Jiang Chen had been observing his facial expressions throughout their talks, and he thought that the reason why the Fire Kylin had wanted to become the Fire Emperor was because of all his wonderful memories of his master.

“He was all right back then, however, I don’t know anything about his current situation,” said Jiang Chen.

The Fire Kylin didn’t ask for any further details about what Jiang Chen had seen. He stared deeply into Jiang Chen’s eyes and returned the Vulcan Ring.

“If you put on the Vulcan Ring, you will be able to sense the origin of the fire.”

Jiang Chen thought long and hard about this, and then he put the Vulcan Ring on the ring finger of his right hand.

As expected, he immediately felt something strange in his heart, as if something was summoning him from afar.

However, he was wavering because he felt threatened by the influence of Jiang Chen.

Half an hour later, Yao Xi was fatigued and enveloped in sweat . Xiao Hongxue had obtained the answers he desired.

When a strange light coalesced into a figure that appeared in front of them, Xiao Hongxue’s gaze suddenly sharpened and he clenched his fists.

The figure was Jiang Chen.

“It’s you! No wonder we always have to battle to the death,” said Xiao Hongxue angrily.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hongxue’s anger dissipated, and he gave up clinging to the possibility of success.

Then Yao Xi successfully found the girl with the Lunar Aura.

The figure of the girl appeared as the figure of Jiang Chen disappeared.

If Jiang Chen had been around, he would have recognized that the figure of the girl with the Lunar Aura was actually Ye Xue.

“Ha, ha, ha! A beauty indeed!” Xiao Hongxue thought to himself.

Xiao Hongxue laughed silently to himself. He glanced at Yao Xi and said, “Thank you, sister. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I have to take my leave.”

He turned into fire and disappeared.

The pale, wet, and completely worn out Yan Xi didn’t even have the chance to express the words that she was about to say. She smiled to herself self-mockingly. As usual, she’d been had by him.

…..

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen was completely ignorant about everything that had just happened.

He went back to the celestial palace to obtain his Buddhist relic in order to help him obtain the origin of fire.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Nuo told him that the Buddhist relic had flown away on its own.

If he’d heard this from anyone else, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have believed a word of it.

“Please tell me exactly how and when it happened,” Jiang Chen said.

“The only thing I know is that I heard a bell ring, and the next thing I knew, the Buddhist relic had disappeared from the palace. It went somewhere very far away. I chased after it immediately. As I was chasing it, I suddenly saw the Azure Demon and the Black Dragon being sucked into a pearl. Finally, the pearl broke through the void and disappeared,” Xiao Nuo explained.

The Buddhist relic was the spiritual shell and the home of Jiang Chen’s eight groups of spiritual beings.

Jiang Chen had thought that the Azure Demon and the Black Dragon were at the celestial palace residing in the Buddhist relic because he hadn’t seen them in the Heavenly Palace.

This was horrific. He’d never expected things to turn out this way. No wonder he hadn’t been able to feel anything in the celestial palace.

“Do you have any clues as to where they might be?” asked Xiao Nuo.

She knew that Jiang Chen believed in her and thus didn’t explain too much in detail. He focused on asking the important questions.

“The realm of Buddha,” answered Jiang Chen. “Perhaps Buddha has been reborn,” Jiang Chen said.

“Be that what it may, but why snatch your spiritual beings away?” asked Xiao Nuo.

“Maybe my Buddhist relic actually belongs to one of the eminent monks of Buddha, or they think that the eight groups of spiritual beings have killed too many enemies while under my control,” Jiang Chen answered with uncertainty. He really didn’t have a clue.

“So what do we do now?” asked Xiao Nuo.

“What else can we do? I believe you had thought of every possible solution,” said Jiang Chen.

Xiao Nuo had lost possession of something entrusted to her by Jiang Chen for safekeeping. She wasn’t going to let things slide so easily. However, she came up with nothing even after doing everything she could.

Without a doubt, Jiang Chen wanted to get the eight groups of spiritual beings back, but at the moment he couldn’t find them.

“The Buddhas will come out sooner or later. We’ll get the spirits back from them then. I just hope that the Azure Demon and the Black Dragon won’t get brainwashed by them,” said Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen felt uneasy, and sent Xiao Nuo to see if she could find out the whereabouts of the Buddhas from the intelligence unit.

Xiao Nuo hadn’t thought about the Buddhas before this, which was why she had had no clue about asking for their whereabouts.

Now that there was a lead, maybe there would be an answer.
