1014: Chapter 974: Meeting Xsu Qing Again 1014: Chapter 974: Meeting Xsu Qing Again Xsu Qing cried out in surprise when she saw Lu Chuan, “Lu Chuan!

How did you get here?”

She exclaimed in amazement.

“Can’t I come?”

“Of course not, it’s just that I wasn’t mentally prepared.

I thought you’d be busy with other matters and wouldn’t be able to come see me for a while.”

Lu Chuan walked into the pavilion and sat down beside her, “I came primarily to continue gathering information about the Divine Fire, but unexpectedly, on my way here, I heard your sect had run into some trouble.”

“Yes, there is some trouble, but we’ll handle it.

You don’t need to worry about that.”

Xsu Qing lifted her hand, picked up a piece of white pastry from the table, and offered it to Lu Chuan, “Have a piece.”

“No, I’ve already had lunch.”

“What’s the situation now?

I see that Xsu You has also returned.”

“You met Xsu You?” Surprised, Xsu Qing put down the pastry and looked at Lu Chuan.

“Of course, I came up here with him.

He used to be a disciple here, but now he’s under the City Lord’s command, right?”

“That’s right; he is indeed working for the City Lord now.

However, he is still a member of our sect.

If our sect encounters any trouble, he will definitely come back.”

Xsu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s great.

His return will make things much easier.”

“After all, he’s now part of the City Lord’s retinue and holds a unique status in the city.

If he can help, it will be much easier.”

Lu Chuan looked at Xsu Qing and asked, “This Xsu You seems very popular when he arrives at the sect.

We were both completely ignored.”

“Of course, Xsu You was once our sect’s top-ranking prodigy, wielding the Uncanny Fire known as the Black Dragon Red Flames.”

“An extremely rare and ferociously powerful type of Uncanny Fire.

His strength is impressive, and he was an idol in the eyes of many disciples.”

“However, he later insisted on leaving the mountain to seek a broader world in the city…

and then he left.”

“There was some dissatisfaction during that process, after all, he was our sect’s most prized disciple.”

Xsu Qing shrugged helplessly, “He is even my brother.”

“Unfortunately, it didn’t help to keep him.”

Lu Chuan nodded sympathetically, “Your sect put so much effort into training him; it’s indeed a loss that he just left.”

“Ah, he now belongs to someone else, no longer our sect’s disciple.”

“It’s definitely a loss, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”

She helplessly spread her hands.

“Let’s talk about the sect crisis.

Who is trying to target you?”

Lu Chuan continued asking.

“The one targeting us is no ordinary person; it’s someone from the world of demonic cultivators, an individual codenamed Blood Abyss, who is out to cause trouble for us.”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “Demonic Cultivators?

Really?

How did you get entangled with them?”

“Previously, we discovered a type of Uncanny Fire, extremely special and odd.

It was only after we brought it back that we accidentally found out that demonic cultivators were also searching for this Uncanny Fire, and that’s how they came to focus on us.”

“In the past few days, we have already lost over a dozen disciples, all disappearing without a trace, only for their bodies to be found after some time.”

“The demonic cultivators are extremely brutal.

Most of the time, when we find the bodies, they are disfigured beyond recognition; it’s hard to imagine what they went through.”

With a sigh of resignation, Xsu Qing said, “Right now, we’ve tightened security throughout; if a disciple doesn’t have to leave the sect, they are resolutely not allowed out, so everyone is gathered in the square for cultivation.”

“We had no choice but to take this measure.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, showing that he understood the situation here.

“It seems the situation is not very optimistic.”

“After all, the enemy is hidden while you are exposed, too passive.

Moreover, you’ve already lost over a dozen disciples and still know too little about the enemy.”

Holding her forehead with one hand, Xsu Qing spoke in distress, “I don’t know what to do.

I originally planned to come down the mountain earlier to find you, but as soon as I returned, I encountered this problem, and now I can’t leave the sect at all.”

“You’re lucky you didn’t encounter any demonic cultivators on the way here,” said Fang Cheng with a smile.

“I’m lucky, but luck isn’t always on my side, so my father insists I no longer go out.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and said, “Listen to your father.

Don’t leave the sect for the time being.”

“Just in time to discuss the Divine Fire with me,” Lu Chuan said cheerfully.

“Doesn’t that mean you can’t leave the sect either?

If strong enemies are lurking outside, you’ll have to stay here too.”

Lu Chuan laughed off the concern, “If that bastard encounters me, I will show no mercy.

I am not afraid of these demonic cultivators, and if I want to leave the mountain, I could at any time.”

“That’s true.

It’s a pity I don’t have that kind of strength and have to stay cooped up here.”

She spread her hands in resignation.

Lu Chuan stood up and said, “Let’s go to your study and take a look.

I came to research the Divine Fire, and sitting here won’t help.”

“There isn’t much material about the Divine Fire in our records, so it might be somewhat rudimentary and not fully introduce you to it.”

She stood up and walked towards the direction of the study.

“Let’s go and have a look, perhaps you will find something you need.”

The three of them arrived at the study, a spacious room filled with seven or eight bookshelves, housing all sorts of ancient texts.

Most of the material was related to the Divine Fire and Uncanny Fire, as well as records on Arson Techniques.

Lu Chuan faced the dazzling array of books, momentarily at a loss about where to start reading.

He turned to Xsu Qing and said, “You look for it, see what books I need to read.”

“Hmm…

I’ll take a look around.”

She weaved through the bookshelves, searching back and forth until at last, she reached for an ancient text.

Holding the ancient book, she came to a table nearby and spread the book open.

She earnestly examined the content.

“Much of this is recorded in special characters, so you might not understand it.

I’ve studied these old scripts, so I can make sense of them.”

“Given that the Divine Fire has existed for a very long time, I need to study this carefully.”

She continued to attentively read the ancient book before her.

“The Divine Fire of the Sun, the Nine Heavens Profound Fire…

I have found some brief descriptions of these two types of Divine Fire.”

“For instance, the Divine Fire of the Sun, once you break through to Stage 2, will unleash a more ferocious power!”

“With its terrifying divine might, the Divine Fire of the Sun destroys anything in its path; anything that stands before this Divine Fire will be obliterated.”

“The descriptions are vague, but it roughly indicates that when you break through to Stage 2, the power of the Divine Fire of the Sun will continue to intensify, still enhancing its offensive capabilities.”
