"Let go!"

"Let go!"

Almost simultaneously, Wu Zhong and Bo Qing both bellowed angrily.

Ye Lingyue was stunned, about to lose her temper.

But before she could get mad, Ye Lingyue was snatched up by Wu Zhong as easily as an eagle capturing a chick.

"What did you do to Thirteen? Let him go; target me for everything." Bo Qing panicked upon seeing Ye Lingyue being grabbed, ready to rush forward in a desperate struggle.

"Scram!" Wu Zhong glared furiously, his murderous intent enveloping everything like a suffocating blanket.

He stomped his foot, and before Bo Qing could even get close, the air twisted violently.

At that moment, the eight swords circling around Wu Zhong began to buzz like a swarm of bees.

The Sacrificial Sword Platform started to shake.

Wu Zhong and Ye Lingyue looked towards the ground.

Just now, Bo Qing's Beidou Exchange Bell had inadvertently struck the Sacrificial Sword Platform.

The platform crumbled and the eight treasure swords shattered the silence as they shot into the air. Amidst the chaos, the lid of the Nirvana Cauldron, used for sacrifices, rolled onto the ground.

At this instance, a towering flame burst forth from the Nirvana Cauldron.

The flame roared like a fiery tongue, and, with unerring aim, surged towards Ye Lingyue and Wu Zhong.

Wu Zhong's pupils constricted sharply; the blazing fire was extremely hot, capable of melting flesh and gold alike. If it landed on a person...

Without a moment's hesitation, Wu Zhong attempted to push Ye Lingyue away.

Yet from within the fiery tongue, an irresistible suction force emerged. Both, like moths to a flame, plunged into the Nirvana Cauldron one after the other.

"Thirteen!"

Watching as both Ye Lingyue and that disciple from the Fire Control Sect fell into the raging Nirvana Cauldron together.

Bo Qing cried out involuntarily, desperately wanting to reach out to Ye Lingyue.

But she was too far from Ye Lingyue, she could only watch helplessly as both Ye Lingyue and Wu Zhong were swept away by the tongue of flame.

"You absolutely cannot go in there; that's Taiyi Sect's Nirvana Cauldron, used to refine Earth-level or higher Spiritual Artifacts. Whoever goes inside will be reduced to ashes."

Elder Huo Yan restrained Bo Qing.

"Let go of me, or I will hate you for the rest of my life." Reflected in Bo Qing's eyes was the fire; tears rolled down like blood from her eyes.

"Elder, what is this?" Elder Huo Yan was surprised, looking at Bo Qing's empty eyes.

Bo Qing's slender body could not help but tremble, her alluring and enchanting eyes now filled with hatred and agony.

Elder Huo Yan had seen the arrogant and unreasonable Bo Qing and the charming and seductive Bo Qing. But this was the first time she had seen such a Bo Qing.

"Elder, you're not thinking of...?" Elder Huo Yan had a very bad premonition.

"I love him, I love Hong Shisan. If he dies, I cannot live on." Bo Qing shoved Elder Huo Yan away, like a moth to the flame, she attempted to throw herself into the Nirvana Cauldron.

Elder Huo Yan dared not hesitate. With a staff strike to Bo Qing's head, she blacked out and fainted.

In the moment Elder Huo Yan knocked Bo Qing unconscious, the lid of the Nirvana Cauldron, as if dropping from the heavens, landed right back on top of the cauldron.

The cauldron stood solemnly there; the flames that had seemed to roar like oil being poured on fire were suddenly extinguished.

"Disaster, disaster, what do we do now." Elder Huo Yan ordered people to support Bo Qing, who was unconscious, and thought of the disciples already devoured by the Nirvana Fire Cauldron. Her heart was ablaze with anxiety.

Boss He and others also hurriedly rushed over, surrounding the cauldron.

No matter how hard they tried, the Nirvana Cauldron was like a millennium clam spirit, impossible to pry open.

"Elder, what exactly is going on here? Why would the Nirvana Cauldron suddenly produce fire without any reason?" Boss He asked.

Everything had happened too suddenly, and Boss He and his people hadn't figured out what was going on.

"Haha, this is truly retribution. It seems those eight swords are not ordinary Earth-level Spiritual Treasures. If I'm not wrong, they must be an array used by the Taiyi Sect to suppress the Nirvana Cauldron Power with Nirvana Fire. That man and Hong Shisan, consumed by greed, actually wanted to rob the Taiyi Sect's treasured artifact. This time, they must have been burned to ashes." Duke An and the others, after their initial panic, were overjoyed.

Especially Hong Shisan, who had poisoned everyone, causing Duke An and Elder Yue to lose their hands.

Now that he has met a death with no remains, it is quite satisfying.

"You all, don't celebrate too soon. The map is on Thirteen. If anything happens to her, none of us can think of leaving." Boss He suppressed his anger, annoyed at those kicking others when they're down.

"Hmph, let's go," Crown Prince Hong and the others said with a displeased expression.

They must quickly find a way to leave the secret realm.

After a great battle, the Sacrificial Sword Platform was nearly destroyed.

Only that Nirvana Cauldron, with unknown origins, still stood amidst the ruins.

"What a tragedy. If anything happens to Bo Qing, the Jueqing Sect Master couple will certainly not spare our Fire Control Sect," Elder Huo Yan gazed at Bo Qing, who was still unconscious.

Even while unconscious, she was still murmuring unconsciously.

"Thirteen... Don't be afraid... I'm here to save you."

While saying this, her face showed a look of pain and panic, and her hand tightly grasped Elder Huo Yan's hand, as if it was Hong Shisan.

What Elder Huo Yan was most worried about was Bo Qing.

"Jueqing Sect Master? What is Bo Qing's relation to the Jueqing Sect Master?" Boss He was taken aback.

Then, thinking about it, it made sense; if Bo Qing was not related to the Jueqing Sect Master, how could she have a Heavenly-level Spiritual Treasure?

"Bo Qing is the only child of the Jueqing Sect Master couple..." Elder Huo Yan let out a long sigh.

Only child?

Boss He and Third Brother He were struck as if by a bolt from the blue.

The witch Bo Qing, more enchanting than any woman, turned out to be a man?

"It's a long story... When the wife of Jueqing Sect's Sect Master was pregnant, she wished for a daughter and even prepared the child's clothing and living space entirely for a girl. Bo Qing, born delicate and more beautiful than any girl infant, was found to be male upon closer inspection. To compensate for her disappointment, she raised Bo Qing as a girl. Over ten years passed, in order to please his mother, Bo Qing always dressed as a girl," Elder Huo Yan was extremely troubled.

She was entrusted by the Four Guardians to protect Bo Qing at all costs.

Now Bo Qing himself was unharmed, but his heart... had been given to a man.

The Young Sect Master of the mighty Jueqing Sect, having fallen for a man, if the Jueqing Sect Master couple were to find out, it's likely that even if Hong Shisan wasn't burned to death by Nirvana Fire, he would still be hunted down by the Jueqing Sect unto death.

"This... This..." Boss He and Third Brother He exchanged glances.

They didn't know how to tell Elder Huo Yan that, actually, Hong Shisan is a woman.
