Chapter 474 - 471: The 2nd Layer
"Martial Sect head? Even you, Elder, think we are all demons?"
Xue Lingzi shook his head; actually, the reason why they, the Inner Sect Four Demons, were called demons was not only because of their lust for killing and belligerence and their lawlessness. Another reason was simply because both their relationships with the Crown Prince Party and the Gentleman Sect were poor. Since the Inner Sect could be considered the domain of these two major factions, naturally, the reputation of the Four Demons within the Inner Sect had also declined.
"Whether we are demons or not isn’t up to an old man like me to decide. Let’s just wait and see which floor this youngster can ultimately reach."
The Tower Guardian Elder surely knew about Xue Lingzi’s character; such matters didn’t need to be discussed further. His gaze returned to the image displayed upon the Crystal Mirror, landing on Ye Xuan, then his eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a focused look, "This youngster seems to be protected by a layer of flame. What is that? Could it be the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire?"
"Possibly."
Xue Lingzi also carefully observed the True Qi around Ye Xuan’s body. Within that True Qi, there were indeed strands of flame. It was this layer of flame that kept all the fire energy attempting to penetrate Ye Xuan’s body completely at bay, coordinating with the True Qi to rapidly refine it.
"This Junior Brother Ye Xuan seems to be full of secrets."
This layer of flame might very well be the rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, which undoubtedly made Xue Lingzi somewhat surprised, but he quickly came to terms with it. It was normal for Ye Xuan to have some secrets—what genius didn’t have secrets? Those without secrets were long dead and certainly couldn’t be called geniuses.
