Chapter 1526: Chapter 1485 Fire Source

“Tower Spirit, is there any way to deal with this group of corpse ghosts?”

“There’s no convenient and quick method. The corpse ghosts are entrenched in the land of Extreme Yin. Unless you kill them all completely, they won’t leave this place easily.”

“But there are so many of them, and there’s a Corpse Ghost King guarding that is equivalent to the Integration Realm. How can it be easy to kill them all?”

“Besides this, there’s no better method.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan frowned, his expression somewhat unsightly. After a long silence, he turned to Huo Ling’er, asking in a serious tone.

“Do these corpse ghosts… have any weaknesses?”

“Corpse ghosts belong to Extreme Yin. Generally speaking, attacks that are extremely yang and tough can produce miraculous effects on them. But the corpse ghosts here have obviously mutated, and the flames of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan are ineffective against them. So as for their true weakness, I am not too sure at this point.”

Huo Ling’er sighed softly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.

Logically speaking, their Fiery Sun Sparrow Clan should have been the natural enemy of the Corpse Demon Clan, but now, instead, they have been driven out by the Corpse Ghosts. It’s truly an enormous humiliation.

As for why the Fiery Sun Fire cannot harm the Corpse Ghost Clan, Huo Ling’er hasn’t figured it out yet, so she can only pin her hopes on Lu Chuan.

“Do you… have a better method?”

“Perhaps I do, but right now it’s not certain. Let’s leave here first.”

Looking at the densely packed corpse ghosts, resembling maggots, Lu Chuan felt a wave of nausea.

Lu Chuan couldn’t understand why there would be such disgustingly extreme creatures, just like a plague; as soon as someone appears, they rapidly spread!

However, what’s done is done, and right now, Lu Chuan should be concerned about how to solve the current predicament, not complain here.

After leaving the vicinity, Lu Chuan led Huo Ling’er to a clearing, speaking in a serious tone: “If you don’t mind, could you let me see the Fire Source of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan?”

“I can, but…”

Huo Ling’er furrowed her eyebrows at his words, appearing somewhat hesitant.

As the source of strength for the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan, the Fire Source is extremely important to every Fiery Sun Sparrow Clan member. Easily handing over one’s life flame to others might cause problems, so Huo Ling’er was really reluctant to do so.

“I swear on the name of the Empress, I won’t use the Fire Source of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan for any evil purposes. Surely you can trust me on this?”

“…Alright.”

Huo Ling’er had never thought the issue would lie with the Fire Source of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan, but since Lu Chuan said so, she had no choice but to agree.

The next moment, Huo Ling’er took a deep breath, slightly parted her red lips, and spat out a red pearl that slowly fell into her palm.

“This is my Fire Source.”

“You can hold onto it; I just want to observe it.”

Lu Chuan frowned and spoke seriously: “Your Fire Source… seems a bit strange.”

Lu Chuan had seen Yun Ji’s Original Demon Pill. Just a glance was enough to feel its soul-snatching capability. However, when facing Huo Ling’er’s Original Fire Pill, Lu Chuan didn’t feel that.

That feeling was like having just the exterior, but lacking any real substance inside.

“The Original Demon Pill of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan… Is it defective?”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling’er hesitated not for a moment and immediately retorted: “Absolutely not! My clan is the descendant of the Ancient Immortal Beast Vermilion Bird, inheriting the Vermilion Bird’s Fiery Sun Fire. How could it be defective?”

“But the fact remains, look at this, although the Fire Pill contains demonic power, it has no divine peculiarity.”

“Nonsense! Lu Chuan, are you denying my clan’s Immortal Beast Bloodline?”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. Here’s what, let me demonstrate, and you’ll understand.”

Saying that, Lu Chuan invoked a thought, and the Divine Fire of the Sun along with Mysterious Fire burst from Lu Chuan’s hands. The scorching flames surged forward, causing Huo Ling’er’s eyes to widen in surprise.

“This is…”

“Comparing this, you should be able to see the difference, right? The flames of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan are commonly spoken of as ordinary flames, not much different from flames produced by burning wood, only differing in temperature. Though scorching, they aren’t pure yang.”

“How… how could this be possible?”

Huo Ling’er’s face shifted, her eyes flashing with complexity.

Actually, upon Lu Chuan revealing the Divine Fire of the Sun, Huo Ling’er realized the distinction, only she was unwilling to believe that her and her entire clan’s proud Ancient Immortal Beast Bloodline was ultimately a lie?

Thinking of this, Huo Ling’er’s expression grew even more somber.

“That means…”

“Hmm… I think I’ve found a way to deal with the corpse ghosts. Now, let’s go conduct an experiment.”

Saying this, Lu Chuan withdrew the Divine Fire and strode upon the clouds, returning to the summit where he crushed a Qi Blood Pill. The dense scent of blood spread out, making the ground tremble once more, with countless corpse ghosts surging from all directions like a tide. However, this time, Lu Chuan was much more composed.

Spiritual Power surged from within his body, and the Divine Fire of the Sun rapidly spread along the mountain ridge, instantly igniting the barren mountain. The corpse ghosts underfoot, upon contact with the Divine Fire of the Sun, began to rot rapidly, and within a few breaths, completely lost their vitality!

Witnessing this, Huo Ling’er felt a mix of emotions.

Joy because finally a method to restrain the corpse ghosts was found.

Sadness because Lu Chuan’s words are now validated, that the flames of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan don’t seem to come from the Vermilion Bird.

Huo Ling’er couldn’t imagine the chaos if this news reached the clan members’ ears. It would destroy their beliefs in an instant, and countless clan members might completely break down because of it!

Thinking of this, Huo Ling’er pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, then gently tugged at Lu Chuan’s sleeve.

“Hmm? Huo Ling’er, what’s the matter?”

“Please… Don’t tell this to my clan members. Just keep it as a secret forever, alright?”

“No problem, I wasn’t planning to make it public anyway. Plus, if you need, I can lend you the Divine Fire of the Sun temporarily.”

“No need, this is fine.”

Actually, not only Huo Ling’er, even Lu Chuan found it somewhat peculiar.

The Fierce Sun Sparrows, as a Royal Blood Demon Clan, using flames that lack any divine peculiarity is very strange.

“Tower Spirit, before you commanded the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan to relocate here, had they already declined?”

“Of course not. Back then, the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan was one of the most renowned demon tribes, a strong contender for the Demon King. The clan leader at that time was extremely loyal; that’s why I sent them here.”
