Chapter 64

"Who... who are you?" The head of the Qianfeng Sect said, trembling as he spoke these words.

Looking at the middle-aged man before him, who looked like a beggar, he was truly terrified to the point of being unable to control himself. Although this man did not emit any aura and appeared to be an ordinary person, just by looking into his eyes, he felt a deep fear that penetrated to his bones.

Especially earlier, although he did not see how the man arrived, he had a vague feeling that he came from the sky. This meant that the man before him was at least a Heaven Martial Realm expert.

Heaven Martial Realm, a realm that no one in the entire Qingzhou had ever reached. Only the Jang Dynasty, the dominant power of the Nine States Continent, had such formidable figures. This was absolutely a realm that only the peak experts of the Nine States Continent could achieve.

However, to his knowledge, even in the Jang Dynasty, those who could reach the Heaven Martial Realm were all elders of similar age to him. But the man before him was clearly middle-aged. Reaching the Heaven Martial Realm at such a young age was truly hard for him to accept.

"You shouldn't have attacked him." The man who looked like a beggar spoke, and his voice was very steady, exuding a regal aura, as if he ruled the world.

"Who shouldn't have been attacked? Is it... that young man?"

"Sorry, I failed to recognize your greatness. I didn't know that young man was related to you. I beg you to be merciful and spare my life."

After all, he was the head of a sect, and he quickly connected the dots about Chu Feng's various differences. If Chu Feng was related to this man, and he had intended to kill Chu Feng earlier, then his life was truly in grave danger at this moment.

"I beg you, spare me... spare me..."

Thinking of this, the head of the Qianfeng Sect actually knelt down and began to kowtow to the man before him, completely disregarding his high status and position. When his life was threatened, he chose to abandon everything, including his dignity.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble"

At this moment, a thunderous sound of footsteps came from the distance. A moment later, dust rose, and a dense crowd of figures could be seen rushing towards the cemetery. They were the Qianfeng Sect's army.

The Qianfeng Sect was different from the Qinglong Sect. Although they were both close to the wilderness desert, the appearance of the cemetery was a setup orchestrated by the Qinglong Sect's Elder Zhuge.

So, the Qinglong Sect had a clear goal from the beginning, with core disciples collecting treasures from various parts of the cemetery, but no one entered the mist, and they retreated immediately after collecting the treasures.

The Qianfeng Sect, unaware of the truth, continuously sent strong experts and a large number of people after the cemetery opened, determined to monopolize the treasures. However, they fell into Elder Zhuge's trap and suffered heavy losses.

This Qianfeng Sect army, also unaware of the truth, was a newly arrived support force. However, upon seeing this scene, they were speechless.

"Bold, who are you to dare harm our sect's head?"

The core elders of the Qianfeng Sect immediately recognized their sect's head. However, when they saw their head kowtowing and begging for mercy, they were both angry and furious. Without hesitation, they led the army to attack.

The head of the Qianfeng Sect, however, ignored this and continued to kowtow to the beggar, hoping to gain forgiveness. He knew that facing this man, numbers would not be an advantage.

"Even if I don't kill you, he won't let you go. Let me send you on your way; it's better than him dealing with you."

The beggar slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly, the flame scar on his forehead glowed red, and his hair danced. A loud "boom" echoed, and within ten miles, a sea of fire erupted.

This sea of fire rose high into the sky, reaching several dozen feet. The surging flames sometimes resembled dragons and sometimes tigers, roaring and surging in the desert.

Almost instantly, the Qianfeng Sect's army was engulfed. The previously fierce Qianfeng Sect members were now like ants on a hot pan, losing all their abilities and rolling and writhing in the flames, screaming in agony.

In a moment, various cries of pain echoed, and even the head of the Qianfeng Sect could not withstand the intense heat.

However, the mad beggar was completely unaffected by the flames, not even his clothes were ignited. He walked calmly through the flames.

Despite his tattered clothes and disheveled hair, his aura was unmatched, like a king, exuding a regal presence.

"My Burning Heaven Flame can refine all living things. My Burning Heaven Holy Sect aims to rule the world. My Burning Heaven Holy Son is invincible..."

"Ugh~~"

Suddenly, this formidable man's eyes flickered, and he began to roar in agony, grabbing his long hair and rolling and thrashing in the flames, using his body to collide with the desert ground. His powerful strength caused the desert to tremble continuously.

After an unknown amount of time, he gradually calmed down, and the flames slowly dissipated. The flame scar on his forehead returned to normal, and his regal aura disappeared.

His eyes were no longer sharp but filled with dullness, and his expression was very tense, as if he was afraid of something. He ran back and forth, shouting:

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I shouldn't have intruded on your territory. Spare me, spare me. I don't want to die..."

"I promise you, I will protect him, I will definitely protect him. If you spare me, I will do anything for you..."

After that day, the desert became a forbidden zone. Although the raging flames had subsided, the high temperature made it impossible for anyone to step into the area. The sudden fire became a shocking piece of news, quickly spreading to the Wild Ancient City.

"Let me go, I need to find him."

"Sumei, calm down. The cemetery has become a forbidden zone, even experts at the Essence Martial Realm cannot approach. You can't go in."

"Let me go. It's been three days, and Chu Feng hasn't returned. Aren't you worried? He risked his life to save you all!" At the city gate of the Wild Ancient City, Sumei was struggling with Bai Tong and others, her face filled with anxiety and anger.

"Hey, what's going on, so lively?" But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, and everyone looked up, filled with joy.

There stood Chu Feng, not far away, squinting and smiling at them. However, Chu Feng's appearance was quite disheveled, like a beggar.

"Chu Feng." But to everyone's surprise, even though Chu Feng looked so disheveled, Sumei threw herself into his arms without hesitation, hugging him tightly, and even tears of joy welled up in her eyes.
