Chapter 360: Earth Fire

After saying this, Yun Chujiu slipped behind Elder Qu, afraid that Elder Zhang would get angry and hurt her.

Elder Zhang’s face was livid with anger. “Master Xuanyuan, there were three other disciples with Yun Chujiu at that time. I want to talk to them.”

Master Xuanyuan sneered and then sent Yun Chuwu, Yun Chuqi, and Su Yun over.

When the three of them saw the people from the Heavenly Gates Sect, they knew that something had happened. They felt uneasy.

Yun Chujiu stood behind Elder Qu and shouted, “I’ve already told them everything. Zhang Xiong and the others are worse than pigs and dogs. They suffered retribution and were eaten by the five-ringed, silver-horned snake. They deserve it! Don’t be afraid. Just tell us the truth. Master will make the decision for us.”

Yun Chuwu and the other two immediately felt a little less nervous. They had already agreed on what they wanted to say, so they could just get on with it.

The three of them told them what had happened. It was exactly the same as what Yun Chujiu had said. Yun Chuqi even started to cry while she was talking. “We always thought that Heavenly Gates Sect was a reputable sect. We didn’t expect those five people to be worse than animals. If we hadn’t met that bright lotus, and if we didn’t have Little Jiu, we would’ve died of humiliation! We beg the sect master to make a decision for us!”

Yun Chujiu did not expect Yun Chuqi to perform so well. She gave Yun Chuqi thirty-two likes in her heart. ‘My seventh sister definitely has a future! Her acting skills aren’t inferior to mine!’

Yun Chujiu jumped out from behind Elder Qu, she hugged Yun Chuqi and started wailing. “Seventh Sister, stop talking! You’re making things difficult for the sect master! Can’t you see that the sect master of the Heavenly Gates Sect has brought a group of people here? They’re planning to kill us! Our lives are so miserable!”

The corner of Master Xuanyuan’s eyes twitched violently and he coughed dryly. “Don’t cry anymore. I’ll find out the truth and give you justice.”

Yun Chujiu immediately stopped wailing after hearing what Master Xuanyuan said. She dragged Yun Chuwu and the others behind the elders of Spirit Radiance Sect so that they would not be hurt by the people of Heavenly Gates Sect.

Master Xuanyuan sneered, “Master Du, you’ve heard what happened. If we want justice, it should be our sect asking for it from your sect. However, since the culprit has already been punished, let’s forget about it.”

Du Guyi laughed coldly. “Master Xuanyuan, this is just your side of the story. After all, we haven’t seen what happened in the mystic realm with our own eyes. The deaths of Zhang Xiong and the others are indeed related to Yun Chujiu and the others. “I have a presumptuous request. Hand the four of them over to me and we’ll take them back to Heavenly Gates Sect. This matter will be treated as if it never happened. Otherwise, our heavenly sect will cut off your sect’s earth fire supply.”

The people from Spirit Radiance Sect were instantly enraged!

Earth fire was different from ordinary fire, and was especially suitable for refining pills and weapons. Although refining flints could also be used to refine pills, they were not cheap. Secondly, refining flints were not as stable as earth fire, so higher-level pills would be more stable if made with earth fire.

Refining pills was still fine. Refining weapons was where the trouble was at! Refining flints could only be used to refine some low-grade spirit weapons, and spirit weapons above middle-grade could only be refined with earth fire.

The Heavenly Gates Sect happened to control an earth fire mountain range, so many sects and forces paid a fee for Heavenly Gates Sect to send them earth fire in special containers.

If Heavenly Gates Sect really stopped providing earth fire to them, it would be a great loss to Spirit Radiance Sect!

Du Guyi saw that the people from Spirit Radiance Sect were bewildered. A smug look flashed in his eyes. “I’m not an unreasonable person. After all, our two sects have always been on good terms. I’ll provide your sect with two choices. One is to hand over Yun Chujiu and the other two, and the other is to give one-tenth of Spirit Radiance Sect’s share of Spirit Stones to Heavenly Gates Sect!”
