Chapter Eighty-two: Sacred Flame Order
"Roar!" Wei He let out a long, excited howl, and a surging blue pattern radiated from his body in all directions. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked open like a spider's web.
The two smelting furnaces in the room also burst and shattered, startling Haotian and others.
"Not good!" Toka and Wei Yu exclaimed in unison, both feeling the overwhelming pressure was too astonishing. If it were to be fully released, they would be fine, but Haitian, Xiaoyu, and Weihai Ding would suffer severe injuries.
They exchanged a glance, and Tuo Ka and Wei Yu simultaneously blocked the front, with the sword spirit power in their bodies also continuously emitting, and the cyan ripples emitted by Wei He fiercely collided with each other, rubbing out intense sparks.
"Wei He, stop it at once! Otherwise, you'll destroy the house!" Haitian shouted loudly from behind, seeing Wei He's excitement.
At this time, Wei He also discovered the trouble he had caused, and hurriedly withdrew the sword spirit power from his body. With a embarrassed smile, he said: "I'm really sorry, I was just too excited, so..."
"It's fine, we're secondary, the main thing is that Wei Hui Zhang's two furnaces were blown up by you." Hai Tian understood Wei He's distress and didn't mind much.
After hearing Hai Tian's words, Wei He looked at the broken furnace on the side and dryly laughed twice, saying: "I'm really sorry, I'll definitely think of a way to compensate you."
"Never mind, it's just two furnaces. Don't apologize, you're also too excited." Wei Yu pretended to be heroic and waved his hand, but in his heart he was crying bitterly.
Wei He is fine now, Wei Hai excitedly rushed over and exclaimed: "Grandfather, you've finally recovered your strength!"
"Yes, Little Hai, from now on no one will bully you again." Wei He stroked Wei Hai's head affectionately, "If anyone bullies you, just tell me and I'll go beat him up!"
"What if Tian Ge bullies me?"
This remark suddenly shut Wei He up, and after a long moment of contemplation, he smiled wryly: "Xiao Hai, your Master Uncle is someone I don't dare to mess with. If you get bullied by him, then there's nothing I can do about it."
"Grandpa!" Little Hai said with a pout.
"Hahaha..." The conversation between the two men made everyone present burst out laughing.
"Alright, let's head back. Director Wei still has a lot of work to do."
"It's nothing, it's not hard work." Since learning that Haitian was Toka's Shifu (master), Wei Yu's attitude towards Haitian had completely changed. Although he didn't understand why Haitian would be Toka's Shifu, even the Nine-Star Sword Emperor Toka acknowledged him, so how could he still be arrogant?
After walking out of the Alchemist Association's gate, Hai Tian and others turned around to look at Wei Yu who had sent them off: "Alright, President Wei has sent us this far, next time there's an opportunity we'll come visit again."
"Alright, alright." Wei Yu waved his hand with a smile.
Haitian and the others were extremely satisfied, this trip out had thoroughly resolved Weihuo's problem, and also gave Haitian a great deal of help from now on. When facing the Jiuxiao Temple, he would have even more confidence.
Suddenly, a piercing sonic boom echoed through the air.
The crowd looked up and a figure fell from the sky onto the rooftop beside them, staring at them with piercing eyes.
Haitian slightly furrowed his brow, discovering that he couldn't gauge the person's true strength. This meant that the visitor's power was at least above that of the Sword Sect. But what would bring such a powerful individual to this place? And why were they wearing a mask?
"Master Uncle, this person is very powerful, I am no match for him." Wei He, who had recovered his sword spirit's power, already possessed the strength of a nine-star Sword Emperor at its peak. Since his sword awareness had expanded to the level of a one-star Sword Sect, it was believed that breaking through to the Sword Sect would not be difficult for him.
Even he said that he was not an opponent of the newcomer, which means that this person must be above the Two-Star Sword Sect.
Toka on the side was also tense, and the strength of the newcomer far exceeded his expectations. He remembered that there was no such figure in the Ushan province.
"Who is Hai Tian?" The masked man suddenly asked in a hoarse voice.
The sea and sky frowned more tightly, standing out and saying: "I am! What kind of person are you?"
Unfortunately, the masked man did not answer Haitian's words, but instead asked again: "Who is Haiyu?"
"Who are you? What kind of person are you to run up to us like this?" Little Rain didn't know the stranger's strength, but seeing Hai Tian and the others' serious faces, she didn't dare be rude.
"It's you!" The masked man suddenly shouted loudly and instantly swooped down from the rooftop.
Haitian and others had already focused their attention on this person, as soon as he made a move, they rushed forward. Wei He's speed was a bit faster, he directly blocked in front of Xiaoyu.
The masked man did not give up, and with a whoosh, he rushed towards Xiaoyu, his body emitting a soft glow, and the center of his palm gathering a powerful sword spirit.
Wei He also refused to show weakness and suddenly stretched out a palm.
"Boom!" The two palms faced each other, and the surging sword spirit energy scattered in all directions. The powerful shockwave made Xiaoyu and Weihai Lian stumble. Haitian was barely able to stand still, but what surprised him was that with this one palm strike, Weihuo was actually knocked flying out.
"Pffft!" Wei He's eyes widened in shock, his mouth continuously spewing out fresh blood. He didn't dare to believe that the opponent was so strong, a single palm strike had left him severely injured.
The masked man did not notice Wei He's surprise and instead pounced on Xiao Yu again.
This time it was Tuo Ka who stood in front of Xiao Yu, but even Lian Wei He wasn't his opponent's match, how could he possibly hold him off?
"Boom!" A loud and violent roar erupted, Toca's body flew out heavily just like Weihuo.
"What kind of person are you? Why did you attack Xiaoyu?"
The masked man did not respond to Haitian's words, but instead jumped up high and quickly came to Haitian's back, grabbing the unprepared Xiaoyu and flying into the sky.
"Brother Tian, save me!" Xiaoyu cried out in terror.
"Damn it!" Ha Tian cursed loudly and immediately cast his Dancing Void technique, flying up into the sky.
The masked man did not leave immediately, but stared blankly at Haitian who flew over. Although his face was covered and his expression could not be seen, Haitian could feel the surprise in his heart through his eyes.
"Flight Sword Technique? Not bad." The masked man rasped with a smile.
"What kind of person are you?" Haitian asked again, "Why catch Xiaoyu?"
Perhaps he didn't take Haitian's strength seriously at all, the masked man was very casual: "If you want to save your brother, you must collect four sacred fire tokens! I believe you will have a way."
Before his words had fallen, the masked man had already disappeared into the sky. Hai Tian gritted his teeth and immediately chased after him. But with his current strength, how could he be a match for his opponent?
The consumption of sword energy in his body was even more enormous, and Hai Tian clenched his fists in hatred, having no choice but to give up the chase and return to the entrance of the Alchemist Guild.
The intense fighting sound just now has attracted the attention of passersby around. Wei Yu also rushed out and, together with Wei Hai, helped the seriously injured Wei He and Tuo Ka into the Alchemy Master Guild.
As soon as Haitian returned, Weihai immediately came up: "Tian Ge, where is Xiaoyu?"
Haitian helplessly shook his head, the opponent's strength far exceeded his own, how could he possibly save Xiaoyu? Moreover, the opponent said they wanted to collect the four pieces of Sacred Fire Order, and he was even more at a loss.
"Cough, Master..." Wei He struggled to sit up.
Haitian immediately walked over and said apologetically: "Sorry, Weihuo, you just recovered your strength, but I let you suffer such injuries."
"Master Shu, don't say that, it's just my strength is too weak and I couldn't save Xiaoyu." Wei He also looked ashamed, and seemed to have stirred up his injury, coughing non-stop.
"Shifu, what is the Sacred Flame Order?" Toka, who was also pale and weak, struggled to sit up and asked curiously. He had never even heard of such a thing as the Sacred Flame Order.
As for the Sacred Flame Token, Hai Tian did know a thing or two about it. He let out a bitter laugh: "This Sacred Flame Token is forged from special metals and has flame symbols etched onto it. It's said that collecting all four tokens will trigger an earth-shattering event. But in the thousands of years since, not a single token has appeared on the Soul Sword Continent. Where do you expect me to find them? I couldn't even find one, let alone four."
"Is it that severe? What kind of big deal will happen?" Wei Yu's face was full of surprise, he had never heard such a secret before, and at the same time, he admired Hai Tian even more, indeed worthy of being Toka's master.
Haitian himself shook his head: "I'm not clear, I've only heard about it. It's understandable that the other party wants to collect the Sacred Fire Order, but why do they want me to find it?"
Everyone fell silent, no one understood.
The Sacred Flame Order has been lost for thousands of years, even if Hai Tian was once a Sword God, it's impossible to find it now. What is the other party's purpose, and what kind of person are they? Everyone is completely clueless.
"Will they be sure that Tian Ge can find that Sacred Fire Order?" Wei Hai suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at each other, and their faces were filled with confusion. No one dared to speak clearly.
"Master Shu, what are you planning to do now?" Wei He asked after a moment of silence.
"What else can we do? We can only go around and search. But I think, instead of searching for the Sacred Flame Order, it's better to look for Xiaoyu's trail. Maybe the Sacred Flame Order is just a legend." Haitian helplessly shrugged his shoulders, feeling exhausted.
It was a great relief to have finally rescued Xiaoyu, but who would have thought that at this moment she would be kidnapped again. Her father and the others were still missing, and Xiaoyu had been taken away once more - the anger in her heart can only be imagined.
"Bang!" The wooden table beside him was instantly punched out of a hole by Haitian, "Xiaoyu, I will definitely rescue you!"
