After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Upon hearing the voice, the disciple's expression changed drastically.

He quickly turned around and saw Qin Chuan standing not far away, smiling at him.

"Senior brother, you must have misunderstood!"

He quickly lowered his head and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

However, in the instant he lowered his head, a cold glint flashed in the disciple's eyes.

The next moment, a large sword appeared in his hand, and he rushed towards Qin Chuan.

"Haha... Since this person dares to make an enemy of the young master, if I take him down first, I will definitely be highly valued by the young master!"

Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared on the disciple's face.

As Qin Chuan drew closer, he raised his broadsword above his head and unleashed a powerful strike, splitting Mount Hua in two.

"You think you can kill me with your mere status as a Grand Master? It seems you really don't know who you're following!"

Seeing this, Qin Chuan curled up a cold smile, and with a flick of his wrist, he slashed out with his sword.

"So fast…"

The disciple's pupils constricted, he clutched his throat with both hands, and his face was filled with disbelief.

The next moment, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, all life force gone.

After glancing at the corpse on the ground, Qin Chuan smiled coldly, "Fool! If I hadn't made a move, I might have spared your life."

But if they want my life, they'll have to pay the price!

As he spoke, Qin Chuan took the storage ring off the disciple's hand.

Although the other party's cultivation level was not high, even an ant is still meat, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.

"what is this?"

Only then did Qin Chuan notice a white jade tablet lying beside the corpse, emitting a faint light.

After picking up the jade pendant, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "This is probably used to inform Lu Mingzhi and provide his location."

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan exerted a little force with his right hand, and the jade tablet turned into dust.

Immediately, a cluster of deep red flames shot up from his fingertips and he threw it directly onto the corpse, burning it to ashes in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Chuan wrote the character for "death" on the ground.

This was a warning to Lu Mingzhi: if they continued to provoke him, he wouldn't hesitate to let them know what it truly meant to suffer a fate worse than death.

After doing all this, Qin Chuan circulated his profound energy and soared into the air, flying towards Fire Flame City.

Half an hour later, Lu Mingzhi arrived at the place with several of his men, looking very menacing.

"Young Master, Zhao Sheng's aura disappeared right here!"

One of the disciples clasped his hands in greeting to Lu Mingzhi, who was standing next to him.

"Disappeared?"

Lu Mingzhi frowned, a look of doubt on his face.

"Young Master! There are signs of a struggle here, and there are words left on the ground!"

At that moment, someone nearby discovered signs of a struggle and immediately shouted.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzhi immediately went over.

"Qin Chuan!!!"

Upon seeing the word "death" on the ground, he clenched his fists, his face turning grim.

He never expected that Qin Chuan would dare to kill his own people.

Not only that, but they also left the word "death," which is a blatant provocation.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If he had fought Qin Chuan outside this sect that day, he wondered if the other party would have dared to kill him too.

After calming down, Lu Mingzhi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "They're just relying on being Master Guan's disciple, yet they dared to kill my family's scion. They're simply courting death!"

A person nearby asked, "Young Master, what should we do next?"

"This direction seems to be towards Fire Flame City. Regardless of whether Qin Chuan is going there or not, send someone to inform the Azure Dragon Gang!"

Lu Mingzhi looked towards the mountains, his face full of resentment, and said, "Tell them to send out experts to kill this man!"

…………

On the other side, Qin Chuan flew through the air, heading towards Fire Flame City.

Several hours later, a magnificent city came into view.

The words "Fire Flame City" are prominently displayed on the city wall.

After landing in an inconspicuous spot, Qin Chuan arrived at the city gate.

After paying the entrance fee of twenty spirit crystals, they successfully entered Fire Flame City.

"We're unfamiliar with this place, so we need to find a place and get a feel for the situation first..."

Looking at the bustling street in front of him, Qin Chuan muttered to himself, already having a plan in mind.

After finding a restaurant, Qin Chuan sat down by the window and tossed a small cloth bag to the waiter who was serving the dishes.

"Waiter, I'm new here and would like to ask you about Fireflame City. Where can I buy and sell things here?"

Restaurants and similar establishments are usually the most well-informed places, so asking the waiters is always a safe bet.

After weighing the bag in his hand, he found at least fifty spirit crystals inside.

The waiter immediately beamed and said respectfully, "Young master, you've come to the right person. Let me introduce you. In our Fireflame City, there's a saying that there are one pavilion, two gangs, and four major families."

"One Pavilion, Two Gangs, Four Major Families?"

“That’s right.” The waiter nodded with a smile. “The so-called ‘one pavilion’ is the ‘Treasure Pavilion.’ I’m sure you don’t need me to explain further, sir.”

Wanbaoge!

Qin Chuan naturally knew that this was a major force on the continent that could rival the Alchemist Guild.

It is said that its industries are spread all over the mainland and it is the largest alliance chamber of commerce.

After a moment's thought, Qin Chuan continued, "Then what are the Second Gang and the Four Great Families?"

"The two gangs refer to the Green Dragon Gang and the Four Seas Gang, while the four major families are the four major families in the city."

In this City of Flames, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion controls 70% of the industry, while the remaining 30% is divided among the two major gangs and the four major families.

At this point, the waiter glanced around and whispered, "However, I recently heard that the Du family, one of the four great families, seems to have taken control of the nearby mines."

Now, in this Flame City, it seems that besides the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, only one other entity will dominate.

The Du family!

Upon hearing those two words, Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

I never expected to hear this name so soon after arriving in Fire City.

As if he had thought of something, Qin Chuan asked, "Has there been any major events in Fireflame City recently?"

"Yes, yes."

The waiter smiled and said, "Wanbaoge holds an auction every month."

The auction is tomorrow. If you have the time, young master, you might as well go and join the fun.

"Hmm." Qin Chuan nodded calmly.

After finding out the location of Wanbaoge, he paid the bill and left the restaurant.

The auction is tomorrow, and he doesn't have many spirit crystals on him, so he must hurry to Wanbaoge to find out what's going on.

It must cost a lot of spirit crystals to buy that magic item that can withstand high temperatures.

Compared to the two major gangs and the four major families, Qin Chuan still prefers to trade at Wanbaoge.

Half an hour later, Qin Chuan arrived at Wanbaoge.

Wanbaoge is located in the most prosperous central area of ​​Huoyan City, covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres.

Standing in front of Wanbaoge, Qin Chuan looked up and saw the three large characters "Wanbaoge".

Magnificent and imposing!

Looking down at the bustling scene of people coming and going, Qin Chuan exclaimed, "Wanbaoge truly lives up to its reputation as a force that can be found all over the continent; its business is booming."

With that, he strode inside.
