The ancient city, Lihuo Peak.

In the great hall of the inner sect of the Li Huo Sect.

Ling Xiao sat on the Dragon Throne in the great hall. Below them were Qin Shi, Qin Shang, Su Ming, Zhou Qin, Lin Yu, and Xu Qiao'er. Among them, Qin Shi, Qin Shang, and Xu Qiao'er stood on one side, while Lin Yu and the other two monopolized one side.

Qin Shi, Qin Shang, and the other two had just escaped death, feeling as if they had been given a new lease of life.

After a few rounds, Qin Shi suddenly stepped forward and lowered his head, earnestly clasping his fists. He then glanced at Qin Shang and Xu Qiao'er, clenched his teeth, and said: ”Lord Sect Leader, thank you for your help this time. Disciple has a request for you, I wonder if Sect Leader can accept my friend and sister?”

Hearing that, Ling Xiao was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared at Yun Yang. ”Haha, good boy, I didn't punish you, but you actually talked about the conditions with me? This really pisses me off. Do you know that Lin Yun just came out of seclusion and his spirit energy is unstable? Or else, do you think he would let you off that easily? ”

Shocked, Qin Shi suddenly understood.

Previously, he was still curious, why would Lin Yun suddenly give up on such a good opportunity? If they had really started fighting back then, it would have been the Cloud Cauldron Sect that had the upper hand, not to mention the fact that they had the absolute advantage in their geographical position. Just in terms of logic alone, it was the Cloud Cauldron Sect that had the upper hand.

”So that's how it is, no wonder Lin Yun let me off so easily, it's because he just broke through, and his spiritual energy was unstable.” When he thought of this, Qin Shi inwardly rejoiced and scratched his head. He laughed embarrassedly at Ling Xiao, ”Heh heh, this time I was reckless. Next time, pay attention. Next time.”

”You little brat, you're really pissing me off. Do you know what the consequences would be if the two great sects fought?” Ling Xiao shook his head as he laughed at Qin Shi while drumming his fingers on the Dragon Throne.

Qin Shi shivered.

Although he didn't seem to care on the surface and pretended to be calm, he still had some lingering fear in his heart. After experiencing the incident at the Cloud Tripod Sect, he had come to realize his own inadequacy and had become more aware of his own foolishness and recklessness.

As Ling Xiao had said, if the two great sects fought, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Cloud Cauldron Sect, the Li Huo Sect, and the ancient city.

If the two sides fought, the entire ancient city's civilians would be affected. It could even be said that destroying the ancient city wouldn't be an exaggeration. In a battle between Spirit Destruction realm experts, the commander would be Baili Huang. These words were not just a rumor.

”Sect Leader, punish me.”

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Shi withdrew his mischievous look and said.

”I really want to punish you!” In the end, he helplessly shook his head and said, ”Forget it, since you are the first offender, this matter can be avoided. In a while, bring your younger sister and your friend to Cui Yunhai and ask for the Flamecloud Token.”

Hearing this, Qin Shi's heart was filled with joy, ”Sect Leader, you've agreed?”

Ling Xiao placed his hands behind his back and pursed his lips as he looked towards Qi Yu. His heart was filled with helplessness. Was it possible for him to not agree? If this great deity didn't agree to Qin Shi, then Lin Yu would also step forward. Rather than letting him speak, why not let him do as he pleased?

”Sect Leader, you really are a friend.”

Brilliantly raising the corner of his mouth, Qin Shi grabbed Qin Shang's and Xu Qiao'er's hands and said, ”Did you see that? This young master has already said that I, a dignified Violet Rank disciple, will let you enter the Li Huo Sect as a small matter? There's no need to be so touched, just treat your brother to a good meal. ”

Qin Shang and Xu Qiao'er, who were originally solemn and composed, were suddenly amused by Qin Shi's laughter and relaxed a little.

Both of them were very happy when they successfully entered the sect.

Of course, Qin Shi also knew that amongst them, Lin Yu played an absolute role. He knew his own limits. Even if he was a Purple Rank disciple of the Li Huo Sect, he still wouldn't have let Ling Xiao personally go to the Cloud Tripod sect to save him.

However, Qin Shi never thanked Lin Yu. Because he felt that what he said was strange. He could only silently remember that he hoped that one day in the future, he would be able to do something for Lin Yu.

Seeing the cheers, Ling Xiao waved his hand and coughed dryly, attracting the gazes of Qin Shi and the others, as he immediately said: ”Don't be happy too early. Although you managed to escape this time, the Burning Heaven Secret Realm in half a month is the most important place.”

”Burning Sky Secret Realm?”

Qin Shi rolled his eyes and thought for a while.

He was filled with curiosity and puzzlement towards this secret realm. He couldn't help but ask: ”Senior Sect Leader, just what kind of place is this Burning Heaven Secret Realm?”

When the Burning Heaven Secret Realm was mentioned, Ling Xiao had an unprecedented look of righteousness. Just think about it, how could a place that could make the sect master so strict be a simple place? He hesitated for a moment before saying, ”The Burning Heaven Secret Realm is located on the peak of the Burning Heaven Mountain, five hundred kilometers away from the ancient city. This secret realm is inherited from the ancient times and is filled with precious treasures.”

”Primordial Secret Realm?”

This was the second Ancient Secret Realm that Qin Shi knew of.

But from the looks of it, this Burning Heaven Secret Realm was far from something that the Desolate Town's Secret Realm could compare with.

”Yes, outside of the Burning Sky Peak, there are burning fires all year round. Those flames are scorching, ferocious, and filled with mighty spirit energy. It hasn't been extinguished for hundreds of years, and even I don't dare to rashly approach it.” Ling Xiao also revealed a look of fear when mentioning the flames.

Qin Shi's heart tightened. Even a person with Ling Xiao's strength didn't dare to approach the Raging Inferno? Just how terrifying was that? Thinking of this, he scratched his head in confusion and asked: ”Since there is such a fierce fire, how are we going to enter this Burning Heaven Secret Realm?”
