253: Chapter 196 Defying God Fire_3 253: Chapter 196 Defying God Fire_3 “This poison fire can’t be extinguished, and it’s still burning inside.

However, at that time, several masked figures made their move, shattering all the cell doors on the first and second levels, allowing the prisoners to evacuate North Castle—”

“Masked figures?” Cao Xuan frowned slightly, “There were others who entered North Castle?

Is it possible to identify these masked figures?”

The face of this Jinyi Hundred Households showed a hint of difficulty: “Sir!

I have already made some inquiries.

None of the brothers who survived from North Castle had seen their faces.

I suspect those who did see them didn’t make it.

As for those prisoners, there was utter chaos in the cells at the time, and with the poison fire rampant within North Castle, amidst the panic, no one would have paid attention to their identities.”

Cao Xuan’s brow furrowed deeply.

In his mind, almost instinctively, the image of Chu Xisheng flashed by.

It was not that Cao Xuan was overly suspicious.

Chu Xisheng had the motive and also a certain level of strength.

Now, in command of West Mountain, he could mobilize several experts; the suspicion was significant.

The question was, did this man have such boldness?

Regardless of whether it was him or not, he couldn’t act rashly.

He was no longer able to bring Chu Xisheng down at will.

Cao Xuan could arrest people, but he would have to bear the consequences.

Just as he was aware that Chu Xisheng had over a hundred members of the Divine Strategy Remnant under his command, yet he could only pretend to be ignorant.

If he couldn’t obtain solid evidence, he would have to bear the backlash.

Chu Xisheng had deep ties with many of the noble families in Coastal, and the Iron Banner Gang’s smooth and significant growth in Xiushui County was not merely due to the martial force of the Tie Brothers.

Cao Xuan’s thoughts spun rapidly, and then he ground his molars, suppressing the thought of directly arresting them: “After the fire is put out, inspect the scene carefully to see if any traces are left, and interrogate those surviving criminals thoroughly.

Also, as for Wei Yang, whether a body has been left behind, and if that body is indeed his own!”

At this moment, Cao Xuan felt an indescribable sensation within him.

Today, he had just been discussing Wei Yang with Chu Xisheng, and now his Police Pool of Blood Prison had fallen into such a tragic state—was this too much of a coincidence?

However, the scrolls and books hidden in the secret compartment of the Library were indeed genuine works of Qin Muge.

The flag of the Rebellious God Flag was indeed located in the South Castle of the Police Pool of Blood Prison.

※※※※

At this moment, Chu Xisheng had already returned to his large estate in West Mountain.

Wei Yang was placed in the side room of the left wing, under Liu Ruoxi’s care.

The former Colonel’s injuries were severe.

His body was covered with marks of torture, with as many as seventeen bone fractures, and his Primordial Qi was extremely depleted.

In addition, three of his meridians had been severed, which needed to be reconnected as soon as possible.

Chu Xisheng had no choice but to invite a famous doctor from the town to treat Wei Yang’s injuries.

It was only after Wei Yang’s condition had stabilized that Chu Xisheng walked out of the room.

Returning to the main courtyard, he found Chu Yunyun holding the staff of the Rebellious God Flag—an eight-foot spear, sitting in the middle of the courtyard.

At this moment, streaks of white flame were winding around the body of the spear, resembling a white fire snake.

Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise on his face as he approached: “What’s the deal with these flames, can you use this spear now?”

“I’m not sure,” Chu Yunyun said, looking at the spear in her hands, her expression odd.

“When I just channeled my True Yuan into it, it suddenly changed, and I still don’t know what this White Fire is or what its use is.”

The crucial point was that through this spear, she could faintly sense the direction of the flag.

Although it wasn’t as exaggerated as when she was in the Police Pool of Blood Prison, where Chu Yunyun felt that she could summon the flag to her hand with just a thought, she could now sense that the flag was moving fast, about three hundred miles away from here.

It had circled around the border of Taishan County, then headed westward, turning towards Yu State in the west.

Chu Yunyun was full of doubt and almost began to question her own memory.

Did she really have no connection whatsoever with the Rebellious God Flag?

She then put aside her stray thoughts and abruptly thrust her spear into a stone lock by her side.

The big spear in her hand easily pierced through the stone lock.

However, Chu Yunyun frowned slightly: “It seems to be of no use.”

The stone lock was pierced purely by her strength; the spear itself did not exhibit any particular abilities, and its sharpness barely compared to an Eighth Rank big spear.

The white fire seemed like an illusion, incapable of serving any practical purpose.

Chu Xisheng felt a twinge of disappointment, expressing his regret, “It seems we still need to find that flag.”

However, it was right for Chu Yunyun not to act today.

Based on the scene from today, even if the Rebellious God Flag had exhibited its full divine artifact might in Chu Yunyun’s hands, it would have led them to an inescapable death.

Just as Chu Xisheng was about to avert his gaze, he suddenly noticed something and looked attentively at the illusory screen in front of him.

He saw four words appear on his status bar—’Defying God Fire’!

Chu Xisheng focused closely and a piece of information appeared in his mind.

Defying God Fire—Suiren defied All Gods to bring fire into the mortal realm, this was the first flame of inception, bringing light and fierce fire to the world.

Your close proximity to the Defying God Fire has temporarily moved your ‘Divine Slaying Talent’ up by one tier.

“Hold on!

Don’t extinguish this white fire just yet.”

Chu Xisheng called out to Chu Yunyun and approached the big spear, attempting to gently touch the white flames with his hand.

Information in Chu Xisheng’s mind changed again.

—Your extremely close proximity to the Defying God Fire has temporarily morphed your ‘Divine Slaying Talent’ into ‘Divine Disaster’.

Chu Xisheng’s pupils dilated slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, “Yunyun, try absorbing this white fire into your body in reverse.”

He guessed that Chu Yunyun’s Divine Slaying Talent had also undergone a change, though she might not be clearly aware of it.

Chu Yunyun was slightly startled and appeared confused.

Still, she followed his instructions and integrated the white fire into her body.

And in the next moment, changes occurred all over her body.

Not only were countless strands of black qi and yin poison forced out of her body, but also a crimson light blazed forth, swirling around her like a giant dragon and shooting straight into the sky.

Chu Yunyun was taken aback.

She then ceased pouring her True Yuan into the spear, causing the white fire enveloping its shaft to vanish without a trace.

This commotion was too great and uncontrollable for Chu Yunyun.

If this continued, it would surely draw the attention of the Martial Cultivators in town.

“So this is how the fire is used.”

Chu Yunyun looked at the spear in her hand, her interest piqued.

Until now, she had only known to use True Yuan to stimulate the white fire, never considering that the white fire could also be absorbed into her body.

Hope gleamed in Chu Xisheng’s eyes, “Yunyun, has your True Yuan been restored?”

He had just sensed that the Gang Qi around Chu Yunyun was as formidable as a dragon, vast and boundless as if it were the cosmos—endless and infinite—

Chu Yunyun chuckled wryly, shaking her head slightly, “When I merged with the White Flame, my True Yuan recovered by about half, and the bloodline seal was lifted by one-third.

However, I can no longer use this spear for combat, at least for now.”

Chu Xisheng was originally quite pleased.

Even with only half of her True Yuan restored, Chu Yunyun should have possessed the power of someone ranked on the Earthly List.

But upon hearing the latter part, his mood sank, filled with confusion, “Why is it useless?”

“It’s because of the ‘Six Yin Soul Revival Spell’ on us.

This spear could make me stronger, but the curse poison yin in my body would also increase, bringing me closer to death.”

Chu Yunyun glanced at Chu Xisheng, “You should have experienced this too, right?

Your cultivation in Nourishing Essence Skill is now higher, and you have a Fourth Rank Pure Yang Body.

In theory, this should help you accumulate more yang yuan, driving out the Evil Poison.

But in reality, your lifespan has only been able to increase slightly.”

Chu Xisheng’s eyes narrowed, “Is this because my talent and cultivation have become stronger, so the debt I owe to heaven and earth has grown larger?”

Chu Yunyun had told him before, the so-called Six Yin Reincarnation is borrowing life against heaven’s will, and with borrowing must come repayment—they were losing a certain amount of yang qi to the void every day.

If one day they lacked the ability to repay their debt, they would inevitably return to dust and earth.

“Exactly!

When using this White Fire, my lifespan would rapidly deplete, leading to death in no more than 15 minutes.

This spear is fine, but I can’t afford to use it at the moment.

Unless one day, our power can break the Limit of Human and God and completely free us from the bonds of the ‘Six Yin Soul Revival Spell’.”

As Chu Yunyun said this, she ran her hand over the eight-foot spear in her hand.

She considered that the spear still had its uses.

When a life-or-death situation arose, she would not hesitate—

Chu Yunyun then noticed the look of disappointment on Chu Xisheng’s face and smiled slightly, “Don’t be disappointed.

I only said this spear is currently not suitable for Combat, not that it’s useless.

I sensed just now that this white fire seems to help us refine our bodies, enhancing our physical strength and even fortifying the Spiritual Evil within us.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng’s brows lifted and his expression brightened.
