The Legend of Futian

avenue.

That old man who had gifted the flames to Ye Futian was the Star Plucking Saint?

Shen Jun’s expression shifted as well.
He telepathically explained to Ye Futian, “That woman is a member of the Xi clan, the most powerful force in Jianmu City.
The Star Plucking Hand is the nickname of the Star Plucking Saint, an extremely powerful figure.
He has reached the Holiness of Nirvana and is capable of reaching unparalleled speed, making many great transformations, and wielding formidable combat abilities in battle.
He is one of those few people who even the most powerful figures in Crimson Dragon Realm would hesitate to mess with.
Anyone who dares to mess with him will find themselves down on their luck.
Furthermore, the Star Plucking Saint is a weird guy who keeps to himself.
He has stolen some of the most precious treasures from the most powerful clans in Crimson Dragon City.
No one to date has been capable of capturing him.”

He felt that the case was very weird.
The Star Plucking Saint could have simply taken what he’d stolen from the Xi clan away without making a fuss.
The Saint Lord of Jiuyang of the Xi clan, despite being extremely powerful, was utterly incapable of capturing the Star Plucking Saint.
The two men were probably more or less equal in power.
No one could tell who between them was the stronger one.

Even if the Star Plucking Saint simply took the goods by force, there was nothing the Xi clan could do about it.
The saint was a loner and there was no way the clan could get their hands on him.
He’d handed the flames to others right in front of everyone on Heavenly Flames Avenue and no one had recognized him.
That in itself was a testament to his frightening ability in the art of transformations.

It was apparent that the Star Plucking Saint had masked his aura and changed his appearance.

Shen Jun didn’t understand why he had given the flames to Ye Futian.

“How should I know why he gave the flames to me? However, since he gave them to me, the flames are mine.
All of you showed up and attacked us right away, accused me of being a thief, and even declared that I would only live if I explained myself adequately.
I’m afraid you are not much better than thieves yourselves,” Ye Futian said coldly.

Xi Chan frowned slightly and said, “If things happened as you say, then it is indeed a misunderstanding.
However, the Flames of the Way were indeed stolen from my clan by the Star Plucking Hand.
If you’re willing to return them, then we shall call it a day.”

“Return it and call it a day?” Xia Qingyuan’s expression turned extremely cold after hearing what the other party said.
She then responded, “You people attacked us and accused us of being thieves.
Do you think we can just let that slide?”

Whether the other party was telling the truth or not, the flames had nonetheless been given to them by that old man.
The other party should have been thankful if they were willing to return the flames instead of demanding them back.

Furthermore, they said that they would call it a day after the flames were returned.
It was as if they were saying that they were doing Ye Futian’s party a great service by not bothering with his people anymore after that.

“Furthermore, what is the nature of the flames and how can you prove that the flames are yours in the first place?” Ye Futian retorted.
If the other party didn’t want to bother with being courteous, he saw no need to be polite with them.

Although the flames had indeed proven difficult to hold onto, they would not simply let go of them just because of what the other party had said.
Worse still, the other party had demanded the flames back instead of asking for them politely.

Boom!

Raging fires burst out everywhere.
The elder from Xi Chan’s clan hovered toward Ye Futian’s party, getting ready to strike.

So, they were going to take the flames by force?

“If you think you can take the goods by force, I can guarantee that you all will pay a greater price,” Xia Qingyuan said, eyeing the people right in front of her.

“Xi Chan, they are from Qianye City,” Zhuo Xu reminded her.
All those who had been preparing to attack the group frowned.

The Xi clan had paid attention to the Battle of the Crimson River at the Regional Palace.
Even though the battle between the two imperial realms had taken place outside of Crimson Dragon City, they had nonetheless caught wind of the news.

These people were from Emperor Xia’s Realm?

That meant that the powerful woman must be the princess of Emperor Xia’s Realm.

Xi Chan’s eyes landed on Xia Qingyuan.
She had great renown in the Crimson Dragon Realm and was considered quite a legend on her own for her extremely exceptional talents.
Xi Chan’s eyes seemed to have been imbued with scorching flames as she glared at Xia Qingyuan, unfazed by the princess’s identity.

Even the Renhuang forces of other realms commanded limited power in Crimson Dragon City, especially where top forces like the Xi clan were concerned.

But then again, they would not go out of their way to severely offend those of other imperial realms.
Doing so would pose a grave threat to the native forces of Crimson Dragon City.

“Those flames belong to the Xi clan.
You all might be of other imperial realms, but it will still be impossible for you to take the flames away.” Xi Chan glared at Xia Qingyuan and appeared extremely powerful.

While foreign imperial realm forces were extremely powerful, the majority of their forces were not in the Crimson Dragon Realm.
If the Xi clan insisted on keeping these people around, there was no way they could simply leave.

It was impossible to simply walk away with those flames.

Even if those of the Xi clan refrained from taking the flames by force, there was still no way Ye Futian and the others could call for help from Emperor Xia’s Realm.

If that course of action was possible, conflicts like these would be settled in such a manner from then on.

The number cultivators who had reached the Holiness of Nirvana level from imperial realms were far fewer than those in the Crimson Dragon Realm.
Mobilizing those saints was more difficult than it seemed to be.

Furthermore, even if such saints were mobilized, the forces of foreign imperial realms could not simply act against the native forces without ample reason.
