No wonder I've been killing people all this time and haven't been discovered.

The emblem continued to emanate fluctuations—Yin Wanluan asked her to leave the Seven Sects Alliance and return to the Youxu Sect to deal with the battle.

In reality, inside the dilapidated training room, the girl in black robes silently glanced at the blood cultivator next to her, who had been burned to a crisp.

If the news had arrived a minute or two earlier, this person might not have died.

"Let's just consider it an act of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path."

After saying this, Xi Heng turned and left.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 214, Busy with Military Affairs

Not long after, the fine snow drifting in the sky became denser, and the snowflakes themselves gradually grew larger.

Xi Heng then cleaned up the charred corpse in the room—first cutting off its head and putting it in his pocket, then using the illusionary magic of the Soul-Locking Array as always to cover up the horrific scene.

He gave up and turned to leave without hesitation.

Instead of following her mental map to find the next enemy to kill, she fled the area controlled by the Seven Alliances as quickly as possible.

After bypassing the deserted alley and climbing over the outer wall surrounding the Seven Alliance, they took a detour back to the location of the Pure Fire Split from where they came from.

Using various secret techniques and the black robes of the Youxu Sect to conceal his presence and make his return in a short time, Xi Heng made his way back in a very discreet manner.

At this moment, however, the area around this Pure Fire Split was already surrounded by a large number of cultivators from the Seven Sect Alliance.

Within the crowd, there were array cultivators drawing arrays with isolation runes beside the Pure Fire.

Xi Heng was quite familiar with the appearance of this kind of formation and could tell that the formation was more than half completed—the Seven Sect Alliance was obviously prepared in advance, and had already begun to deal with the Pure Fire as soon as the news of the war broke out.

If this formation is activated, the method of spiritual transformation will also be sealed.

At that time, I will need to break through the barrier and leave.

If he were recognized as the deputy protector of the Pure Fire Sect on the way, he might be surrounded by most of the cultivators of the Seven Sects Alliance.

I wonder how many people we'll have to kill before we can finally break free of this place.

In order to avoid committing more murders, Xi Heng hesitated for only half a second before activating the Pure Fire to create a strange illusion before the sealing formation was fully formed.

The Purifying Fire Locking Spirit Array contains several preset illusions, so she doesn't need to manipulate them herself.

Simply press the switch to trigger the illusions within the array.

Xi Heng exhaled calmly and gently pressed his right hand down.

Then, among the hundreds of cultivators from the Seven Alliances dressed in different styles, the Pure Fire, which was enveloped by the magic array, suddenly released a thick black mist.

The black fog, resembling the thick smoke from a fireworks explosion, covered a radius of hundreds of meters within just a few seconds.

The numerous powerful cultivators from the Seven Sects Alliance around them were not particularly surprised, as if they had expected this. After a brief moment of astonishment, they quickly took out their magical treasures in response to the call coming from the mist and prepared for battle.

These monks even formed orderly battle formations, clearly indicating that they had undergone training.

"It seems they were prepared for the battle against the Pure Fire Cult long ago..." Xi Heng thought to himself as he walked through the rampant black mist.

The black fog continued to expand and spread, rendering the naked eye useless within it.

They can barely discern directions by relying on their aura and spiritual sense.

The girl silently passed through the crowd and stepped directly onto the stone altar for purifying the fire, without being noticed.

She exhaled and activated the Spirit Transformation Technique within the thick black mist.

A stream of light then rose up and surrounded him.

The girl calmly closed her eyes, feeling the distortion emanating from the spiritual light, when she suddenly heard a loud voice from the side—someone was giving orders.

In the next instant, numerous flashes of light swarmed in like artillery fire.

Xi Heng clicked his tongue and unleashed hundreds of sword energies from thin air with his sword heart, completely shattering the incoming spiritual light.

The sounds of banging and cracking echoed continuously from all directions.

The spiritual light attacks continued unabated, while the sword energy defense remained constant.

Until the Spirit Transformation Technique was fully activated, the sense of twisting sent her to the far end, and all the chaotic sounds, along with the surrounding black mist, slowly dissipated from her sight.

Once everything returned to calm and the sense of distortion subsided.

Xi Heng opened his eyes and found himself back inside the gloomy and dimly lit Youxu Gate.

She was standing on the bottom platform of the massive funnel-shaped building of the Ghost Gate.

Before my eyes, a small, watermelon-sized ball of fire burned.

Although small in size, it emits a bright light that is enough to illuminate the lower part of the building.

There are stairs on all four sides, and several dark corridors on the upper level, where many figures are moving quickly, and the sound of conversation can be faintly heard.

Clearly, the war between the two factions on the surface of the Fire Hell has also kept the Underground Netherworld Sect busy.

Looking around several times, he still couldn't find Yin Wanluan.

Xi Heng then took out the Pure Fire Emblem, which emitted a slight fluctuation.

Then came the reply: "Just a moment."

"Do we need to wait a while longer?" Xi Heng nodded silently and found the cleanest-looking futon near the Pure Fire to sit down.

Incidentally, I used the clean fire to spy on the situation in the ground array area.

There were only two obvious disturbances around the Pure Fire Splits. One was outside the Seven Sect Alliance, where the black mist was still spreading rampantly, and cultivators were still haphazardly using spiritual light spells to try to dispel the black mist illusion.

Secondly, on Tianxi Peak, the aftershocks of many spells could be faintly seen.

A great battle seemed to be taking place in the distance at the Tianxi Peak Pure Fire Branch Altar, but Pure Fire could not see that far away.

Xi Heng then secretly gathered resentful flames from his palm, sharing the vision of several resentful flame puppets.

Unfortunately, the attack on Tianxi Peak was something that the puppets she controlled could not participate in.

The Vengeful Fire Puppet, who possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation, had just received news of the war and had only just begun organizing cultivators.

Although it was breaking news, they had already prepared to fight against the Pure Fire Sect, knowing that war would break out sooner or later, so they could proceed with various affairs quickly and gradually.

Bored, Xi Heng put away the resentment fire in his palm and stood alone at the bottom of the Youxu Gate, staring blankly at the people coming and going upstairs.

After a period of calm.

It is unknown how the war is going outside, but in any case, the many figures inside the Youxu Gate have gradually gathered in one place.

The girl looked up and saw dozens of monks dressed in black robes surrounding a group of stone coffins arranged side by side in the middle of the funnel-shaped building.

"Fellow."

Xi Heng had just gotten up to see what was going on when a sound came from not far to his side.

Turning my gaze, I saw a formation cultivator from the Netherworld Sect.

She had previously consulted this person about some knowledge of the Great Spirit Locking Array, and had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so she was called 'fellow Daoist'.

She wasn't quite used to this form of address, but it didn't bother her.

"What's the matter?"

"The Holy Maiden's incarnation still needs to be awakened by you, fellow Daoist." The other party approached and took out a round glass bead from his sleeve, saying, "This is Her Highness's flame."

Xi Heng blinked and accepted the message, but was a little confused by the sudden news.

"What is the method of incarnation?"

"The gathering of the disciples above is to unseal this incarnation. You will know when that time comes, and then you can inject this flame."

"..."

The white-haired girl tilted her head and looked up with her divine sense.

In the center of the many Youxu Sect cultivators, a stone coffin was placed straight.

People slowly lifted the long, wide stone coffin and placed it on the ground.

Many members awakened their spiritual light, which seeped into the surface of the coffin, making it no longer rough.

A faint incantation slowly resonated, reaching Xi Heng's ears.

Coming back to her senses, she glanced at the Pure Fire Emblem hanging at her waist and muttered to herself:

"Is this what you want me to wait a moment for?"

Following the guidance of the Youxu Sect array master beside him, Xi Heng stepped up the rough stone steps.

They gradually approached the middle floor of the building, in front of the crowd gathered there.

Upon seeing what she was holding in her hand, the cultivators of the Netherworld Sect all respectfully stepped back and made way for the stone coffin.

At this moment, the surface of the stone coffin has become as smooth as if it had been polished many times, without the previous pitted and rough feeling.

Holding the round flame, she stood before the stone coffin, where her blurry figure could still be reflected.

Xi Heng reached out his hand forward, and the thick, arched stone cover slowly turned to the side.

A buzzing sound emanated from the coffin, and the gaps in the coffin widened.

The firelight illuminated the scene inside, revealing a profusion of flowers arranged in clusters, resembling piles of modern artificial flowers.

Above the flower cluster stood a woman dressed in simple black clothes.

Her long, slightly wavy, pale golden hair cascaded over her shoulders and cheeks. Even with her eyes closed, her exquisitely beautiful face, as if sculpted by a god, still exuded unparalleled charm.

The black robe she wore had a light gray flame pattern on the surface, and because it was too loose, her specific figure could not be seen.

Her appearance was similar to that of Yin Wanluan when she was a few years or decades older, and her figure had become a little taller.

For Xi Heng, the person in front of him was quite familiar.

In her previous life, she first heard the name Yin Wanluan from the person in front of her.

"So this is what I mean by 'a clone' or 'an incarnation,' and it was awakened at this very moment..." Xi Heng thought to himself, looking at the sleeping beauty before him.

Gently raise your hand and place the three fire-preserving beads you are holding against the other person's chest.

It seems that her body curves are more pronounced than Yin Wanluan's original form.

The white-haired girl coughed lightly, banishing the strange thoughts that had suddenly arisen in her mind, and smoothly pushed her five fingers towards the other person's chest.

Immediately afterwards, his right hand seemed to melt into it and seep in.

Xi Heng left the fire-preserving bead behind, withdrew his hand, and took half a step back.

Illuminated by the surrounding fluorescent light, the woman's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze fell on Xi Heng, then she glanced at the people around her, and opened her mouth to utter a hoarse voice: "The war has begun. My main body has many affairs on the surface, so I will take care of the affairs of the Youxu Sect here."

Immediately, people behind her began to worship her with Taoist salutations, addressing her as "Your Highness, Holy Maiden."

Xi Heng casually performed a Daoist salute, and then saw the other party turn his eyes and whisper:

"Did your assassination attempt on the Seven Alliance go smoothly and safely?"

"No problem."

The other person nodded, lowered their hands which were resting flat on their waist, and put them inside their black robe.

Immediately afterwards, she moved her slightly stiff body and left the coffin.

As he walked slowly, his movements became increasingly smooth.

The woman in black robes, under the watchful eyes of many, turned to Xi Heng and said, "Come with me."

At the same time, they stepped down the stairs, heading towards the bottom of the fire.

The girl naturally followed.

Half a minute later, upon arriving at the small group's fire-purifying area, the other person spoke again:

"The Fire Hell is in chaos right now. Not only Tianxi Peak, but also Shigu Market and the Pure Fire Capital are suffering. Your identity is too easy to attract hostility. Please go to the mortal world as soon as possible to develop your power and thus quell some of the resentment in the Pure Fire."

"So soon?"

The girl blinked.

"May I ask?" the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect asked calmly.

The other person's expression lacked any extra emotion, which seemed slightly different from Yin Wanluan's.
