In front of the Heavenly Fire Source Stone, countless people had gathered—humans, demons, blood races, demons, nether races, and many other races—all gathered, forming a sea of people that surrounded the Heavenly Fire Source Stone.
Long Chen saw Lu Fan's figure because he was so conspicuous. Standing at the front of everyone, it was clear that everyone was looking up to him.
Behind Lu Fan, Long Chen saw Ming Long Wushang, Luo Yujiao, Qin Keqing, Huang Wudao, and others. Among them were many unfamiliar faces—dozens of them.
In other words, these people Long Chen had never met before were all on the same level as Ming Long Wushang and the others.
Besides these dozens of people, Long Chen also saw Huo Qianwu, but she could only stand behind them. Clearly, she wasn't qualified to stand with them.
Behind Huo Qianwu and the others, there were millions of powerful figures, all of whom were terrifying Sons of Destiny. Clearly, only those at the Child of Destiny level could be allowed to come here.
Long Chen arrived silently, but none of these millions noticed him, because all their attention was focused on the Heavenly Fire Source Stone ahead.
Beneath the Heavenly Fire Source Stone was a massive altar, standing upright at its center. On the altar, divine light flowed, and a group of figures were sealed.
When he saw this group of figures, Long Chen's fists clenched instantly. He hadn't expected that, including Bai Yingxue and the others, everyone was sealed inside.
Not only the White Dragon Clan disciples, but also Hu Xiaoyu and Feng You, who had previously separated from Long Chen, were among them. Each of them looked pale, formed hand seals, and sat cross-legged on the altar, seemingly resisting the altar's power.
"Brother Tianfan, these two small fry owe to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known how important they are to Long Chen." In front of the Heavenly Fire Source Stone, Lu Fan looked at Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu inside the barrier, his face sinister as he spoke.
"In fact, our Qi Sect has been watching this guy all along. Every move he makes cannot escape our sect's surveillance.
Long Chen is audacious beyond measure, blaspheming the gods, deserving death. These two women are closely connected to Long Chen. I had Qifeng capture them. That way, everyone connected to Long Chen will be here. The person Lu Fan called Brother Tianfan said calmly.
This man had long hair draped over his shoulders and wore a bamboo hat, making it impossible to see his face. He was the leading figure of the younger generation in the Chess Sect, one of the Four Ancient Sects, named Li Tianfan.
This person is a sealed ancient prodigy, awakened in this generation, and is said to have a great chance to vie for the position of Chess Sect Master.
The future sect master of the Chess Sect, even the son of Brahma Heaven, would not dare underestimate him, so he called him Brother Tianfan, showing how much Lu Fan valued him.
"Heh heh, all of this is the result of Senior Brother Tianfan's brilliant strategy. He already anticipated that these two scoundrels wouldn't take the Brahma Path or the Bridge of Heaven and Night, but would instead choose the Blood-Patterned Outer Sect Path."
We set up traps and captured them with almost no effort. "In the crowd, a man dressed in the attire of a Chess Sect disciple with a golden mask on his face chuckled and said.
This man was the one Li Tianfan had called Qifeng. As soon as this man named Qifeng spoke, Long Chen immediately gritted his teeth. It turned out this man was the very person who had leaked information about the Fate Hunter Clan to him, sending him to ambush them.
At the time, Long Chen felt something was off about this person, but because the information he revealed was so accurate, Long Chen mistakenly thought he had a grudge against the Fate-Hunting Clan and was using someone to kill with a borrowed knife.
But no matter what, deep down Long Chen was grateful to this guy. After all, he had obtained information about the Purple Blood Clan from the Fate Hunter clan.
Long Chen had always felt he owed this person a favor, but he never expected that the Qizong had been using him all along and had uncovered his background.
He couldn't even hide the matter of Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu from them. Just thinking about being played made Long Chen's anger burn fiercely.
"Long Chen, you damn bastard! How dare you desecrate the great Brahma Heaven God? Today, I'll sacrifice your friend with blood!" Lu Fan looked at the crowd inside the altar, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
"If you don't start yet, what are you waiting for?" Just then, a cold voice rang out.
As soon as that voice was heard, Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. He looked toward the voice and saw a figure he could hardly believe.
"Yan Hong"
That person was none other than Yan Hong, the son of Yan Xu whom he had once killed. When the Dragon Blood Legion clashed with the Celestial Clan and was forced into the Strange Fire Space, Long Chen discovered the Yan Void Divine Lotus. Inside it, he saw Yan Hong parasitizing the lotus.
"Brother, this is bad!" At that moment, Huo Ling'er let out a startled cry.
"What?" Long Chen was startled.
"Back then, inside the Yanxu Divine Lotus, I left behind part of my power and parasitized him. Now, I can't sense anything at all. This means he discovered the hands and feet I left behind—he has already broken free from parasitism." Huo Ling'er said.
"It's okay, it's just what I expected." Long Chen signaled Huo Ling'er not to worry. The Qiankun Cauldron had said back then that the chances of success were slim, so Long Chen didn't take it to heart.
However, Long Chen couldn't figure out what these people were up to. His main goal now was to find out what Brahma Pill Valley was really up to and how to rescue Bai Yingxue and the others.
Facing Yan Hong's cold and icy question, Lu Fan replied icily, "To fully unleash the power of the Heavenly Fire Source Stone, you need sacred power to unleash it."
Right now, the altar is extracting their sacred power. Once the energy of the Heavenly Fire Source Stone is saturated, it will naturally open. Are you in a hurry? If you're really in a hurry, you can start it yourself. Clearly
, Lu Fan was very displeased with Yan Hong's attitude and spoke without holding back. Upon hearing this, Yan Hong was instantly furious, and black flames surged around him. Then, within the strange phenomenon behind him, a sky-covering black lotus appeared.
"Don't think that just because you're the Son of Brahma, you can do whatever you want. I am the great Child of Yanxu, so watch what you say." Yan Hong shouted angrily.
Yan Hong's manifestation of this phenomenon startled everyone around, especially the black lotus blooming, like a demon opening its huge mouth, seemingly ready to devour all things in heaven and earth, sending a chill down one's spine.
"So what if it's the son of Yanxu? I was beaten to death by Long Chen, but only survived by luck. With someone like you, what right do you have to act arrogant in front of me? Seeing Yan Hong's expression, Lu Fan not only failed to restrain himself but instead added fuel to the fire.
"You're asking for death!"
Yan Hong was furious, his large hand spread, and a spear wrapped in black flames pointed straight at Lu Fan.
