Beautiful CEO’s Top Martial Expert

”And that flame Exotic Beast beside him crippled the Lord of the Fire Hall with just a wave of its hand; its strength is probably either at the Eighth Level Mastery Realm or the Ninth Layer of the Dominating Realm.”

”Putting all this together, their identities shouldn’t be simple at all. It’s very likely they’re from some other Ancient Sect or even existences from the Nine Heavens!”

The Wood Hall Master spoke.

”Mm, that makes sense. What about you?”

The Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect nodded, his gaze falling on the other three Hall Masters.

”Sect Master, I’ve already sent people to investigate. According to the latest information, that young man’s name is Xiao Yifeng, ranked first on this term’s Dragon List among the Chosen Ones.”

”It’s said that back then, with only the Third Level of the Divine Soul Realm, he defeated a Life-Death Realm Expert, and even the Young Master Qi Tiandao of the Tianji Xuan Clan, One of the Four Imperial Clans, was beaten by him until only his Divine Soul remained.”

”Before that he even slaughtered the Young Master of the Diancang Sect, and to this day the Diancang Sect hasn’t made any response.”

The Water Hall Master said.

”Yes, I’ve heard that brat even recruited Yan Bin, an Elder of the Fire Hall, as his subordinate.”

”Yan Bin is also a Strong One at the Dominator Realm Seventh Level, yet he was willing to betray the Five Elements Sect to serve under him. You can imagine just how extraordinary his identity must be!”

The Earth Hall Master said in a deep voice.

”Sect Master, judging from all this, this kid’s background is indeed far from ordinary. I suggest that before we completely uncover his identity, we should not act rashly or be too eager for revenge, so as not to bring calamity upon the Five Elements Sect.”

”Now that the Ancient Sect War is about to begin, and that matter is about to start as well, we must tread carefully and allow no mistakes!”

The Metal Hall Master also spoke.

”Mm, I understand.”

The Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect nodded, his eyes narrowing, gaze flickering.

”We’ll put the matter of revenge on hold for now. Investigate his entire background and origin thoroughly, then we’ll decide what to do.”

The Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect said.

”Yes!”

The four of them nodded.

”Sect Master, now that the Lord of the Fire Hall has been crippled, what should we do about the Fire Hall? And as for Yu Yan, his Divine Soul has also suffered severe damage.”

”I’m afraid recovery won’t be easy. Even if he does recover, his strength will be affected.”

The Metal Hall Master looked at the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect and spoke.

”For now, the Great Elder of the Fire Hall will temporarily take charge of the Fire Hall. As for the new Hall Master, we’ll discuss that later. Yu Yan is to continue receiving treatment.”

”We’ll see how he turns out in the end. If his strength is truly affected, then we’ll choose a new Saint Heir for the Fire Hall.”

The Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect said.

The four great Hall Masters all nodded, but their gazes differed, each harboring their own thoughts.

After that, the four Hall Masters left the great hall, and as they stepped out of it—

The Wood Hall Master glanced at the Metal Hall Master and said with a smile, ”Congratulations, Metal Hall Master.”

”What is there to congratulate me for?”

The Metal Hall Master replied blandly.

”The Great Elder of the Fire Hall is your younger brother. Now that your brother is in charge of the Fire Hall, you brothers control two of the Five Halls of the Five Elements Sect. Isn’t that something worth congratulating?”

The Wood Hall Master said with a squinting smile.

”Not at all. My brother is merely acting in the Fire Hall’s stead. He is not yet the Lord of the Fire Hall.”

The Metal Hall Master smiled and shook his head.

”What difference does it make? Right now, in the Fire Hall, aside from your brother, there’s no one more suitable to become the new Lord of the Fire Hall.”

”It won’t be long before your brother becomes the new Lord of the Fire Hall. When that happens, the two strongest halls among the five will be under you brothers’ control.”

The Earth Hall Master said.

”Hehe!”

The Metal Hall Master merely smiled faintly, said nothing, and left directly. The eyes of the other three narrowed, expressions different from one another.

Meanwhile, on Nine Flame Mountain, in the blink of an eye, three Double hours passed.

During these three Double hours, the Half-Saintly Fire continuously tempered Xiao Yifeng’s body, polishing his muscles and bones, making his physique even more terrifying.

Previously, his body had reached the First Level of Life-and-Death Realm; now it was soaring all the way up to the Fifth Level of Life and Death Realm.

After that, the Purifying Lotus Flame and the Heavenly Spirit Fire within him also joined in the process of tempering his body.

Under the joint effort of these Saint Fires from the top of the Heavenly Fire Ranking and a Half-Saintly Fire—

Xiao Yifeng’s body continued to transform. In the end, the Crimson Flame Heavenly Fire and the Profound Ming Heavenly Fire within him also joined this tempering process.

The Four Great Heavenly Fires and one Half-Saintly Fire—five flames surged around Xiao Yifeng’s body.

A terrifying aura was unleashed, as if Heaven and Earth themselves were about to be annihilated by it.

”The Five Great Heavenly Fires, this...”

Seeing this, an expression of disbelief flashed in Yan Bin’s eyes.

Clearly, he had not expected Xiao Yifeng to possess so many flames.

”The Purifying Lotus Flame, ranked in the top five on the Heavenly Fire Ranking, and the Heavenly Spirit Fire, ranked eighth on the Heavenly Fire Ranking, this...”

Yan Bin recognized the Purifying Lotus Flame and the Heavenly Spirit Fire at a glance, his expression incomparably shocked.

As for Qingtian and the others, their expressions remained very calm, while the Fire Qilin looked at Xiao Yifeng and also nodded at him.

As the five flames tempered him together, Xiao Yifeng also sank into a mysterious state of enlightenment.

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng’s entire body relaxed as he began to comprehend the flames, sensing the changes of these Five Great Heavenly Fires.

This caused his relationship with the Five Great Heavenly Fires to become even closer, as they began to truly merge into one.

In Xiao Yifeng’s consciousness, he seemed to be roaming in a world of fire.

In this world, all kinds of powerful and wondrous flames filled every corner.

He communicated and danced with these flames, and in the end, they fused into one, entering a state in which he was the fire and the fire was him.

At this time, the five flames continuously flowed into Xiao Yifeng’s body and then out again, as if they had already fused completely with his body, the flames seeming to have become a part of him.

Boom!!!

In the blink of an eye, night fell!

A piercing roar erupted from Xiao Yifeng’s body, and his physical Realm broke through directly to the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Realm, reaching the very limit of the Life and Death Realm. Next would be the Dominant Realm.

Meanwhile, the Half-Saintly Fire, the Purifying Lotus Flame, the Heavenly Spirit Fire, the Crimson Flame Heavenly Fire, and the Profound Ming Heavenly Fire completely fused together and entered his body. Then, a terrifying column of fire burst out from him, shooting straight into the sky.

This pillar of fire pierced into the Cang Qiong, and in an instant, the entire East Province seemed lit up as bright as day.

Everyone saw that dazzling pillar of fire in the night, so brilliant, gorgeous, and mysterious!

A terrifying and heavy might burst forth from Xiao Yifeng. He sat cross-legged in the Void.

The Void around him twisted and warped, as if unable to withstand his pressure.

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng had become incomparably powerful, countless times stronger than before; even his entire bearing had changed.

Right now, Xiao Yifeng seemed like a colossal Fire God towering to the heavens, as if he could burn all the heavens to ashes!

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng was like an unmatched mountain range, capable of suppressing Heaven and Earth!
