Chapter 239: Three Sects
In the darkness of the night far ahead, a blazing line of fire rose from outside the gate of Hundred Refinements City, lighting up the sky as it swept forward, dragging behind it a trail of scorching fire that seemed to split the entire heavens in two.
In an instant, that streak of fire crossed several hundred yards, like a burning meteorite tearing through the night, and came to a stop above the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion.
The hemp-robed elderly man and Lin Xunner looked up with cold dread in their hearts.
Above the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, a fireball roughly ten feet across hung suspended in the air. Its flames were deep blood-red, the air around it twisted and warped, and ring after ring of fire vortexes churned around it, sending waves of scorching heat rolling outward, lighting up the entire street below as though it were daylight.
As the blinding flame visible died down at a visible rate, a blurred figure wreathed in fire gradually revealed itself.
The martial pressure radiating from this figure was even more terrifying and fearsome than the Hundred Refinements Peak Master Zheng Yunfeng had been.
...
At the same time, in the dark and densely forested mountains, several figures were leaping through the night from different directions, rapidly approaching the core territory where Falling God Peak's nine peaks were located.
Before long, on a hilltop several dozen miles outside Hundred Refinements City, an icy and bone-chilling cold wind suddenly arose in the damp night air that was already cold within the mountains. Wherever the wind passed, the nearby pine trees and undergrowth were coated in a layer of crystalline frost.
