Dang, dang, dang... a sound like ringing a bell resounded throughout the alliance space. As long as you are in it, it is impossible not to hear this sound.
That was the sound of the Holy Fire Temple opening, which meant that after a thousand years, monks would once again enter the temple gate and receive the Holy Fire Order.
The news spread from ten to ten, and soon the monks in the alliance knew that Xia Chen had suddenly returned, and then broke the restrictions of the Holy Fire Palace to prepare to receive the Holy Fire Order.
This was like thunder on the ground, and everyone was extremely shocked.
In recent days, this young man who went on a killing spree and made wanton riots in the Tianlan Sect has been firmly remembered in the hearts of all the monks.
The contents of Suo Zhentian's handwritten letter were enough to make even a monk at the deputy leader level tremble.
This guy is simply a monster, he has done things that others would never dare to think of.
Although the alliance has decided to sacrifice Xia Chen, many monks feel very sorry in their hearts. Could it be that for such a talented young man with unlimited potential, his life is like a gorgeous fireworks, which is dazzling but so short?
If Xia Chen is given a few decades or hundreds of years, the Yan-Zhao Alliance might not have another powerful leader!
It is a pity that without If, no matter how talented Xia Chen is, he would not be able to fight against the two behemoths of Tianlan Sect and Yanzhao Alliance.
But no one expected that Xia Chen did not directly confront the Tianlan Sect and the Alliance, but he directly broke into the Alliance's most mysterious Holy Fire Temple and activated the Holy Fire Order.
This is really a crazy decision.
Whoosh whoosh... countless escaping lights flew up, and in the blink of an eye, no fewer than hundreds of monks gathered in front of the Holy Fire Hall.
The Holy Fire Hall is a huge hall with a height of thousands of feet. The two black hall doors are closed all year round, showing the age.
Usually, there is only a layer of simple protective restrictions on the door of the Holy Fire Palace, without any extra functions. However, this restriction connects the entire Holy Fire Palace into one, and only a fifth-level magical monk can break it.
But now, the door of the Holy Fire Palace is wide open, and it is dark inside. Although the light from the alliance space is direct, no one can see clearly what is happening inside.
In front of the Holy Fire Hall is a wide square, which is already full of alliance monks, no less than a few hundred.
The light howled in the distance, and other alliance monks were arriving one after another.
At the front of the square stood a middle-aged man in blue standing upright.
He has a clear face, a dignified appearance, good appearance, and a pair of eyes as clear as water from a mountain stream.
If you look carefully, deep in his pupils, a changing figure is flashing. This figure is none other than himself.
Self is born in the eyes, infinite images.
Although the middle-aged man only stands normally, he stands with his hands behind his back, upright and meaningful. He seems to have infinite charm, and his whole person has been integrated into the space.
No one among the hundreds of monks dared to stand side by side with him, because this middle-aged man was Zuo Juwei, the leader of the alliance, a seventh-level divine wandering realm monk.
Behind Zuo Juwei, seven monks stood side by side, some were tall or short, some were fat or thin. They were men or women, old or young. Although they all looked like ordinary people, they were ordinary.
It faintly reveals an extremely unusual temperament.
These seven monks are all deputy leaders of the alliance who have not left the country.
Behind the deputy leader were Mr. Zuo and a dozen other fifth-level elders. After Liang Qidong and Quan Zhidong arrived, they also joined the ranks of the fifth-level elders.
As for the fourth-level elders, the third-level elders and the second-level elders are naturally arranged backwards in order, and they dare not cross at all.
Among the third-level elders, Huang Yunchao was prominently listed, but there were no Feng Lei, Yang Quan, Chen Gulan and Xu Tianhong.
Not all alliance monks are at the headquarters. At least most of the monks are performing tasks outside or looking for opportunities. Only a small number of people can stay at the alliance headquarters.
However, among the many first-level elders ranked at the bottom, there are many selected disciples who have just entered the alliance.
Except for the four heavenly kings and other genius disciples who are already able to carry out missions with the team, the others have just broken through to the first level of supernatural power and have only been incorporated into the team, and are not yet qualified to go out to practice.
Looking at the opened Holy Fire Palace, all the disciples couldn't help but be filled with shock.
Xia Chen's deeds spread widely, and naturally they all heard about it.
But these deeds were too far away from them, so when they heard them, it was like hearing a legend, and it felt unreal.
Thinking of the disciples who competed on the same starting line in the past, everyone felt sad. It felt like a huge gap had opened between Xia Chen and them, and the distance was getting farther and farther.
Yan Zi was also standing in the crowd of alliance disciples, looking at the palace gate and murmuring to himself: "Xia Chen, I want to catch up with you, but in the end I am powerless. You are no longer in the same world as us."
As the number of escaping lights increased, soon the square was filled with monks. However, since the alliance leader and deputy alliance leader were also on the square, no one dared to make a loud noise, and they only talked in low voices.
Zuo Juwei's face was calm and his eyes were as deep as the sea. There was neither anger nor shock or any other emotions, making it impossible to tell what this enigmatic leader was thinking.
After a long time, until everyone was a little impatient, there was finally movement in front of the Holy Fire Palace.
Xia Chen walked out of the huge palace door with a pale face. Although he saw many monks gathered, he acted calmly and did not look surprised at all.
The square suddenly calmed down. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
Xia Chen was seen standing empty-handed and carrying nothing, which gave everyone the illusion that he had just opened the palace door and walked in.
The only difference is that there seems to be a flame-shaped mark between Xia Chen's eyebrows, but it is very inconspicuous. If you don't pay attention, you can easily miss it.
"Xia Chen, my subordinate, is here to meet the alliance leader, deputy alliance leaders, and elders. I haven't seen you for a while. You all are having a good time." Xia Chen gave a slight salute and started talking nonsense.
Although he had never seen the alliance leader and deputy alliance leader, he could guess it after seeing this battle.
Zuo Juwei didn't speak, just stared at him closely. Although he didn't use any magical powers, Xia Chen's face became paler and paler, as if there was a huge and invisible pressure under the calm eyes of a peerless ferocious beast.
.
The leader of the alliance did not speak. Naturally, everyone did not dare to make any sound. The huge square remained so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
After a long time, Zuo Juwei suddenly gave a thumbs up and said calmly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born young. Very good."
Xia Chen was sweating coldly when he saw him. He was trying to suppress his uncomfortable feeling when he suddenly heard that the leader of the alliance praised him in his first words. He couldn't help but feel flattered and said hurriedly: "Thank you for the compliment, leader. I will keep up the good work."
Keep up the hard work.”
What are these words... Everyone looked at him, suddenly feeling ridiculous and ridiculous.
Mr. Zuo didn't smile. His two pale pupils stared at Xia Chen without blinking. There was a cold mist inside. There was a faint ghost haunting him, trying to rush out crazily.
Liang Qidong and Quan Zhidong looked worried.
Zuo Juwei did not laugh, and said calmly: "It seems that you already know the alliance's decision on you, so you thought of entering the Holy Fire Palace and receiving the Holy Fire Order, right?"
Xia Chen was silent for a while, then bowed and said: "Forgive me, leader, I don't want to die, and I don't want my sect to suffer a disaster. After much thought, I have to do this."
Zuo Juwei shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether you forgive me or not. This is your own choice. And you are indeed very good, with amazing potential, wisdom and courage. You also have friendship and friendship, which is very rare. You are also qualified to receive the Holy Fire Order."
Xia Chen did not answer, but frowned.
Although these words were all compliments, Zuo Ju said them calmly, but there was an indescribable smell. It didn't seem to make people feel happy and comfortable, but rather a creepy feeling.
All the monks also felt it, and there was a commotion, but no one spoke.
Zuo Juwei said slowly: "It has been more than 10,000 years since the Alliance was first established in the Holy Fire Palace. Every Holy Fire Order in the palace is related to the major development of the Alliance, and even life-and-death tasks. Even after so many years, it has only accumulated
Seven Holy Fire Orders..."
"If an alliance monk receives the Holy Fire Order, no one within the alliance can interfere until the task is completed, and they must fully assist and agree to all their requests."
"If you complete the task, you will become the Honorary Elder of the Holy Fire of the Alliance. You will be a hero of the Alliance for life, receive the same resources as the suzerain, and have the right to deploy alliance monks below the deputy suzerain level, and pass them on from generation to generation... In other words, as long as
If you can complete the task, you will gain a status below the sect leader and the supreme elder, and above the deputy sect leader."
Everyone listened quietly. This passage was written in the alliance manual and everyone knew it.
Zuo Juwei added: "It's just that no one dares to accept the Holy Fire Order for such a huge meritorious service reward. Because the task of the Holy Fire Order is extremely difficult, even the seventh-level elders have almost zero hope of completing it. As the alliance leader and
The Supreme Elder has it himself
With higher status and responsibilities, one will no longer take risks and difficulties. Moreover, if the task cannot be completed within the specified time limit, the holy fire will be integrated into the body, and one will have to endure the pain of refining the soul and burning the body, and will not be able to escape even in death. This kind of price
, which is even more daunting.”
Xia Chen's face turned a little pale again. After entering the hall, he realized that the Holy Fire Token was not a jade slip or something carrying a mission, but a pure flame.
It's just that the holy fire is very special. It contains some kind of inheritance imprint similar to the soul spiritual spell. It seems that a long time ago, a certain alliance powerful combined the supreme magical power with some kind of strange fire to comprehensively refine it.
After receiving the Holy Fire Order, the Holy Fire will automatically enter the body and merge with the soul and body. Without changing, a miniature flame mark will be formed between the eyebrows, indicating that the Holy Fire Order has been turned on.
As for the task itself, there is a reminder before receiving the Holy Fire Order, and the monks who enter the Holy Fire Temple can choose by themselves.
If the task cannot be completed within the deadline, the price is also very clear. Just as Zuo Juwei said, the holy fire will refine the soul and seize the soul, making it impossible for the monks to escape even if they die.
For monks, refining one's soul is the cruelest price to pay. Not only is it extremely painful, but it also takes a long, long time before it disappears.
If you fail to complete the task, you will suffer great pain and torture. Naturally, no one is willing to enter the Holy Fire Temple for thousands of years.
Zuo Juwei looked at Xia Chen: "Do you know why there is such a cruel price for failing to complete the Holy Fire Order?"
