"Are you threatening us?" Someone glared at Murong Qing and shouted angrily.

"Let's join forces and pressure the Sun Palace to open the Origin Land and let us out."

"I understand. Are you declaring war on our Sun Palace?" Murong Qing squinted slightly, looked at the speaker, and asked calmly.

The person immediately fell silent.

Declaring war on the Sun Palace was a consequence he couldn't bear.

Everyone knew that the Sun Palace was genuinely powerful, the strongest among the six major Fire Domains.

Many in the Fire Tribe even considered the Sun Palace to be their leader.

"Can we each take a step back?" Over at the Vermilion Bird Flame Domain, Du Heng stepped out and said.

Since Du Bujie died at Li Guan's hands, Du Heng had become the representative for this venture from the Vermilion Bird Flame Domain.

He didn't have a very prominent reputation.

But his strength was decent, and he had a good sense of the bigger picture, as well as being rather steady, which earned him some respect.

"We have already taken a step back.

You can take anything from the Origin Land, be it ancient ruins or whatever fortune.

But the Fire Source is off-limits," Murong Qing shook his head and replied.

"That's the bottom line, not a negotiable condition."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Make your decisions quickly. The Thunder Domain is also about to be destroyed; there's not much time for you to think it over."

Someone sighed.

"Our Shangguan Family is willing to surrender the Fire Source."

No one expected that the first to agree would be the Shangguan Family from the Divine Crow Flame Domain.

This greatly surprised everyone.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't hesitate at all.

The Shangguan Family had obtained the Fire Source from the Gold Realm.

The Fire Source was embedded in an ancient sword crafted around it.

The sword had become sentient.

The moment Shangguan Wan'er took out the sword, the Golden Sword continuously struggled, attempting to break free of her control.

Without a word, Shangguan Wan'er tossed the Golden Sword to Murong Qing.

The longsword sliced through the already fragmented void.

With the sharp aura of gold and scorching flames, Murong Qing caught it with one hand.

"Alright, those from the Divine Crow Flame Domain can leave," Murong Qing smiled and said.

"Our Hell Tiger Clan is also willing to surrender the Fire Source," Hu Ba, speaking for the Hell Tiger Clan, declared second.

They had obtained the Fire Source of the Earth Clan.

"Seems like we from the Vermilion Bird Flame Domain have no choice but to give it up," Du Heng reluctantly replied.

They had obtained the Fire Source of the Wood Realm.

Meanwhile, the Fire Source from the Thunder Domain was still being contested by countless people nearby.

Upon learning of this situation, it was as though the Fire Source had become a hot potato, and no one wanted to compete for it anymore.

With a wave of Murong Qing's hand, he extracted the Fire Source from the Thunder Sea, while everyone else could only watch helplessly.

Now the Fire Sources of the Gold Realm, Earth Realm, Wood Realm, and Thunder Realm were all in his hands.

Only the whereabouts of the Fire Sources from the Fire Domain and Water Domain were unknown.

The Fire Source from the Water Domain was in the hands of Xu Zimei, while the Fire Source from the Fire Domain was rumored to be in the hands of a Loose Cultivator.

That person probably still harbored hope and was unwilling to hand it over.

"Anyone who hasn't surrendered their Fire Source, please cooperate," Murong Qing said.

"Otherwise, no one can leave this Origin Land."

"Rumble," the collapse of the world was accelerating, and the sound seemed to come from not too far away now.

"Whoever hasn't handed it over, hurry up, or do you want everyone to die with you?"

The voices of discussion and condemnation among the crowd grew louder.

Some even suggested a search.

Finally, that Loose Cultivator couldn't hold out any longer.

Carefully, he stepped forward and said, "I obtained the Fire Source of the Fire Domain."

"And the Fire Source from the Water Domain? Bring it out," someone shouted impatiently.

After all, the destruction of the Thunder Domain was already visible.

"The last Fire Source is with me," Xu Zimei's voice drew everyone's attention.

"But I don't intend to hand it over."

"It's the Chaos Fire Realm," someone recalled Xu Zimei's previous ruthlessness.

He had slain Yuwen Ankang of the Black Crow Sect.

The words that were about to be said suddenly halted.

"Young Master Xu, even if you don't consider everyone's comfort, do you not intend to leave the Origin Land yourself?" someone still tried to persuade.

"Don't worry, even if the Origin Land is destroyed, I'll be fine," Xu Zimei laughed and said.

"The Sun Palace's tactics have no effect on me."

Everyone's gaze turned to Murong Qing again.

Murong Qing shrugged and replied, "Everyone, without gathering all the Fire Sources, the Origin Land can't be opened."

"You want everyone to extort me," Xu Zimei looked at Murong Qing and said.

"Young Master Xu, I don't wish to become your enemy.

So, naturally, I won't be the villain," Murong Qing smiled and said.

Xu Zimei narrowed his eyes slightly.

The people here were becoming increasingly agitated, voices rising from all sides.

At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er took the lead and stepped forward.

She said, "Everyone, I think we should unite in our opinions, don't you agree?"

"How do we unite?" someone asked.

"If someone disregards everyone's safety, I think we should just confront them openly,"

Shangguan Wan'er replied, "If the Chaos Fire Realm continues to act alone, let's unite and seize the Fire Source."

This statement surprisingly received approval from many.

"Members of the Chaos Fire Realm, surrender the Fire Source.

Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Xu Zimei chuckled coldly a few times.

He stepped forward, holding the Water Domain's Fire Source in his hand.

He replied, "I'm standing right here today, whether one person or everyone attacks, it doesn't matter.

I'm curious to see who can take the Fire Source from me."

No one expected Xu Zimei to be so unyielding.

People exchanged glances, uncertain of his limits.

At that moment, someone was already becoming impatient and started to act.

A flash of sword light flickered through the void.

In the next instant, the sword tip appeared behind Xu Zimei.

With a "boom,"

Xu Zimei moved faster than the attacker, grabbing the blade with one hand and forcefully pulling them forward.

Explosions resounded.

The person's figure was immediately stomped low by Xu Zimei's foot.

All limbs were dislocated.

The entire body lay limp, unable to move.

"It's Zhuo Lang from Shu Mountain," someone exclaimed in shock.

"He was dealt with in just one move?"

"Let us, the Kong Mountain Tri Men, have a try."

Another shout rang out.

This time, no one resorted to sneak attacks, but instead, three identical triplets stepped forward.

They clasped their fists towards Xu Zimei and said, "Daoist friend, we apologize. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

We must survive and leave here."

The trio's fame was quite well-known, and their appearance sparked quite a discussion among many.

The Kong Mountain Tri Men, were they the ones who practiced the World-Ending Great Mill Technique and once battled the Flame Demon to a standstill?

They must be, who else would dare use that name?
