Chapter 124: The Altar of the Holy Flame

"Are the Seven Great Factions already on the island?" said a Humpty Dumpty man, who was only about one and a half meters tall, but he was extremely obese, looking like a round ball, quite happy. If it weren't for the fact that his face was a little vicious, there would not be the slightest majesty at all.

One of his subordinates knelt down in the lobby and replied tremblingly: "Back to the Great Commonplace, the seven major sects have all gone to the island and are currently being closely monitored by us. ”

Humpty Dumpty didn't see a hint of anger on his face, and turned his head to look at the two next to him.

This hall is the main altar of the Holy Fire Sect, the Holy Flame Hall, and there is a huge stone platform on one side of the hall, which is divided into three floors. At the top of the stone platform is a bronze throne covered with tiger skin, behind which there is a burning stone torch, and on the wall hangs a banner with a large Chu character written on it. The second floor has three stone seats, and the lowest level has ten stone chairs.

By this time, the seats were already full, and Humpty Dumpty sat on the second floor. And the two he looked at, a tall and thin man with silver hair, and an old man with a sickly face.

These three people are the three Holy Flame Envoys of the Holy Fire Sect as they are called by the outside world, of course, this is just the name of the outside. Within the Holy Fire Cult, they are known as the "Three Princes".

Humpty Dumpty is the Great Sikong, named Ji Chen, and is also known as the Left Envoy of the Holy Flame by the outside world. The tall, thin and silver-haired one was the Great Sima Jiyuan, known as the Right Envoy of the Holy Fire. The last old man with a sickly face was the Great Situ Fifth Cloud, known as the Holy Fire Angel.

The three of them didn't care about the title of the outside world, and only regarded it as a code name in the martial arts. As for the internal title of the Holy Fire Sect, everyone strictly follows this "official position".

After Ji Chen finished asking, the fifth cloud, who was sitting in the middle of the three people, did not say a word, lowered his head and looked sad, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, the corners of Ji Yuan's mouth twitched, and he seemed to be very disdainful of the seven major factions, and his tone was as light as his figure, and said: "This time, the seven major martial arts sects of the Qinling Empire are entangled with a group of small factions that do not enter the stream, and they are asking for their own death. However, since they are looking for death, then we can't fail them. ”

"Hmph! Da Sima is inevitably a little overbearing, right? I know that these seven major factions are led by two or three masters of the Great Dao Period, and there are also a lot of people in the Foundation Building Stage and the Innate Period. If you don't pay attention to it, a little bloodline of Da Chu may make Da Sima lose everything. When the time comes, it's not a pity for the three of us to die, but I don't know what kind of face Da Sima has to go underground to see the ancestors of the Great Chu Dynasty!?" Da Sikong Jichen said suddenly, and he was quite displeased with Da Sima Jiyuan's attitude.

The two bigwigs got up again, not to mention the group of low-level people kneeling below, even the ten people sitting on the third layer of the stone platform hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything. These ten people are known as the Ten Guardian Dharma Kings, of course, they are naturally not called that within the Holy Fire Sect.

Da Sikong and Da Sima are not in harmony, and they have to pinch each other every time they meet, which is something that everyone knows. It's just that in the face of the siege of the seven major factions this time, they are fighting again, which is really not the situation everyone wants to see.

"You two don't talk about it anymore!When is it, and you still tear each other down like this!" Fortunately, Da Situ Wuyun opened his mouth to reconcile, and he also had a headache for the two. Since the disappearance of the fifth generation, that is, the previous generation of sect leader and Emperor Xi à of Great Chu, the bloodline of the Great Chu royal family has been broken. The entire Great Chu, or strictly speaking, the Holy Fire Sect, seemed to have suddenly lost its backbone. There is no one in the church who can preside over the overall situation, and no one is subordinate to each other.

These two people are not fighting for the throne, but they have always had discordant personalities, so they dismantled each other and even fought each other. His own strength is sometimes not good enough to suppress them too much, after all, everyone is the third prince, and no one is lower than anyone else. As long as they don't have too much ambition, it doesn't matter if they make a fuss.

Now, the seven major factions have crossed the sea, and their strength is also quite strong, and the sect should be the time to work together, and they must not be allowed to quarrel again. That's why the fifth cloud opened his mouth to stop them from arguing.

Although Ji Yuan and Ji Chen were not convinced by each other, they had a lot of respect for the fifth cloud.

It's not because Fifth Cloud's martial arts strength is the strongest, it's because Fifth Cloud is the teacher of the missing majesty, and his reputation is the most grand. Moreover, the fifth cloud has always been praised in the religion for his fairness, and he is the most respected person in the religion.

Seeing him speak, the two pursed their lips and didn't say anything more, and the group of people below naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there any news from Taohuawu?" Seeing that the two of them no longer spoke, but their faces were still so bad, Fifth Cloud sighed secretly, stopped talking about the two of them, and asked the intelligence officer below.

"Da Situ, I haven't received news from Taohuawu. However, the patrol ship reported that there were three Qinling Imperial Navy ships following behind the Seven Great Faction fleets. The intelligence officer replied respectfully, and then gave the latest information. Just now he was about to say, but unfortunately Da Sikong didn't give him a chance.

As soon as these words came out, Ji Yuan and Ji Chen couldn't care about being angry anymore, and their faces tightened.

A glimmer of light also burst out in the eyes of the fifth cloud, and then it disappeared again in an instant.

The ten Guardian Kings even looked at each other, and the expressions on everyone's faces showed a hint of solemnity.

To be honest, no matter how many martial arts masters there are in the seven major factions, they are not very worried. After all, these martial arts people don't look at the many masters, but they are a rabble. There are only three Great Dao Stage masters of the Holy Fire Sect left, and in addition to the ten Guardian Dharma Kings, there are only the Five Elements Banner Master, the Deputy Flag Master, and the Thirty-six Hall Masters. At first glance, it seems that it cannot be compared with those martial arts sects at all.

However, why was the Holy Fire Sect able to dominate in the south of the Qinling Empire, and to be the two powerhouses along with the Qinling Sword Sect!?

The Five Elements Banner is divided according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth in the martial arts, and the main and deputy flag owners of each flag are martial artists in the foundation building period, all of which belong to more than 1,000 innate martial artists.

The thirty-six halls correspond to the thirty-six big cities of the Qinling Empire, and the master of each hall is a martial artist in the foundation building period, and each subordinate is more than 100 innate martial artists.

This is the confidence of the Holy Fire Sect that is the strength of the Sacred Fire Sect, and they train strictly according to the military formation every day according to their own establishment, and the strength they exert is not at all comparable to that of the people in the scattered martial arts.

So when I first heard about the Seven Sects, everyone wasn't worried. But as soon as I heard about the fleet of the Qinling Empire's sailors, I was a little worried!

Don't look at them under the banner of Da Chu, in the church, they also worship the generals according to the imperial court of the old Chu, but that's just a matter of talking about self-comfort + comfort. The officials of the Qinling Empire did not take these people seriously, so they could hide on this Holy Fire Island and entertain themselves.

Once targeted by the official forces of the Qinling Empire, it only takes a holy courtyard to take action, and they can exterminate their own people. Because of this, the big guy's face is so solemn.

"Did they go ashore too?" asked Fifth Cloud.

"Go back to Da Situ and go ashore. However, instead of choosing a place where the Seven Great Sects would go ashore, they chose a remote place to land. And ......" When he said this, the intelligence officer was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to say it or not. After all, when someone from below reported it, they weren't sure if it was true.

"Well, what is there to say directly, finish it in one breath!" Ji Chen saw him like that, and scolded him angrily. When he reported the Seven Great Factions just now, he didn't report the situation in one go, which made Ji Chen very unhappy.

"Yes, yes, yes! The people below reported that it was this group of people under the banner of Jinyimen, among them were half-elves and disciples of Tianjimen, led by three women, one was a Chinese and the other two were half-elves, and Zhen Yao of Tianjimen followed them. ”

"Half-elves!?Why are they mixing in!?Do you also want to fall into the well and avenge the oppression of Da Chu back then?!" Da Sima Jiyuan was a little dazed, led by three women, which is not surprising, after all, many martial arts sects are headed by women, such as Taohuawu. Although I haven't heard of Jinyimen, there are many martial arts sects in the Qinling Empire, and who knows when the new sect was established. It's just a half-elf thing, but it makes him a little confused and dazed.

"Da Situ, Da Sikong, Da Sima, this, not long ago, I heard about the movements of this half-elf, but I don't know if it has anything to do with that person!" At this time, the Lord of Wanghai Hall stood up and said with some uncertainty.

"Oh!?tell me!" Ji Chen saw that it was the Wanghai Hall Master of his own line, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Yes, in the past few years, I have been active in Baiyue County and Vientiane County for a long time, and I have only recently returned to the island, and I have not yet had time to report the situation on the mainland to the three adults. He explained first, lest Ji Chen have any thoughts about himself. Seeing that the latter nodded in understanding, he spoke: "Last year in Vientiane County, Emperor Fu Lesheng, the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Qinling Empire, suddenly brought back a young man named Zhou Yi from the Lianyun Mountain Range. Because of the rebellion of the half-elf Yueyun Second Division, this person followed Huangfu Lesheng and was stationed in Pingman City. Supposedly, such a young man is not a big deal. However, this son is amazing. Speaking of which, he deliberately hung everyone's appetite. Sure enough, this turn of events attracted the attention of the three bigwigs and a group of people present.

At this time, he paused, and then said: "This Zhou Yi actually went to the second division of Yueyun alone to say surrender, not only said that the second department surrendered, but also captured the envoy sent by the Kunya Elf Empire to the eighth department in one fell swoop, and there was also a great magician among them. Then, I don't know how he operates, and he actually said that the Qinling Empire would grant the title of county king, the leader of the eight half-elves. Therefore, the half-elf eight tribes were attached to the Qinling Empire, and this son was also given the title of eight pacification envoys. ......”

He just stood there like this, telling Zhou Yi's achievements eloquently, and the high-level members of the Holy Fire Sect in the hall were stunned, and they really couldn't believe that this was true. However, this Wanghai Hall Master would not have the courage to lie to the Third Prince! Therefore, they were only left with horror now.

"Do you mean that in the Qinling Empire, there are a large number of half-elf subordinates under him, and it is this King Wucheng of the Zhenguo and Zhou Yi, the head of the Rite Academy!?Zhou Yi has a Terran woman and two half-elf county lords by his side, which also coincide with the leader of this team with brocade clothes!?" After he finished speaking, the fifth cloud was speechless for a long time before he asked out loud.

To tell the truth, this is the absolute ruler of the Qinling Empire, and he is also the head of the Holy Courtyard, the Holy One! He really didn't want to see the Wanghai Hall Master's guess come true.

Ji Yuan and Ji Chen also changed their complexion when they heard this, this news is really not good news.

"Pass the order down, keep a close watch on the Jinyi Gate, but don't approach at will. In addition, the Five Elements Banner and the personnel of the Thirty-six Halls, all of them withdrew to the main altar, and notified all the cantonment points that they were not allowed to reveal the truth of the Holy Sect! If the seven major factions asked where the main altar was, let the people below show them the way!" Suddenly, the fifth cloud suddenly stood up and gave an order. With a wave of his hand, no one else can be ignored. The appearance of a sick face and fatigue suddenly changed, and in the face of this unprecedented change, he could no longer be calm.

Originally, it was planned to annihilate the Seven Great Sects near the seaside, but at this time, in order not to expose the strength of the Holy Fire Sect in front of Zhao Min and others and attract Zhou Yi's attention, he had to cancel it. You can only put the seven major factions into the main altar and find a way to eat them.

What a headache!
