When a Fanfic Protagonist Transmigrated into the Original Novel

Zhangsun Zijun and Yi Xichen are the protagonists of the novel 《The Chronicles of the Nine Thousand Worlds Vicissitudes》. One was solid and reserved; the other was free-spirited and uninhibited...

Chapter 26: Skyfire

Almost at the same time, True Person Yuying moved with great fury, teleported to the sidelines, and pulled Xiao Kui away!

The fierce fire missed, and the red flame burned faintly in the air.

"Go away!" Master Yuying pushed away Yi Xichen and other nearby disciples and shouted, "Everyone go away! Don't touch that fire!"

No one had ever seen Jade Ying Zhenren so angry. The disciples were frightened and scattered.

Yi Xichen was pushed and swayed, but he did not move, staring at the red flame. This was a very strange fire, it came from the sky; it did not need anything to burn; it was so bright red, like blood... But this was not the first time Yi Xichen had seen such a strange fire!

He pinched the red mark on his fingertips. It was this fire that quietly burned his parents to death and sealed the power in his body!

Qiu Jian also fell from a great height and said in disbelief: "This... this is heavenly fire? Zhang Sunzi Jun, you can actually summon heavenly fire!" He just saw clearly that Xiao Kui was about to attack Yi Xichen, and Zhang Sunzi Jun raised his hand in anger, and heavenly fire fell!

Yi Xichen turned his head suddenly and looked at his eldest grandson, Zijun. Was this heavenly fire summoned by his eldest grandson, Zijun?!

“Is this the Heavenly Fire?!” Some of the disciples around retreated in panic, while others looked bewildered.

Heavenly fire is a natural force from heaven and earth. It does not burn any objects, but it can burn living things. Once touched by it, the human soul will be quickly annihilated, leaving only an empty shell without consciousness. The power of heavenly fire is so strong. It exists in the natural world. No one can create it, but some people can summon it.

And within these six realms, there are no more than ten people who can summon the Heavenly Fire! Therefore, the Heavenly Fire is rare, and not everyone knows how powerful it is. And those who know how powerful it is, all of them are like facing a formidable enemy.

There was nothing to burn, so the fire floated in the air for a while, and then slowly melted into the ground. However, no one dared to stand on the land where the fire had been taken away, for fear that their lives would be sucked away by the land.

"Grandson Zijun!" Immortal Yuying said sternly, "Where did you learn this technique of summoning heavenly fire?!"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, frowned slightly and said nothing. He really had never learned how to summon the Heavenly Fire. It was just that the doujinshi author was too casual and let him use whatever moves were powerful, so he naturally learned it. This is really hard to explain.

His silence, in the eyes of Jade Ying Zhenren and Qiu Jian, meant that he was unwilling to confess. However, if he really was unwilling to confess, the head and the elders could do nothing about it. In the Tianjian Sect, which focused on personal cultivation, there were not so many restrictions on the disciples' cultivation. Disciples in the sect were allowed to learn from other masters, but they were not allowed to do anything rebellious or immoral.

But even if we don't investigate where the eldest grandson Zijun learned the supernatural power from, based on his actions just now, there is no way that Jade Ying Zhenren would let him go.

"You actually want to use the power of the Heavenly Fire to kill your fellow disciples! Do you still have the Heavenly Sword Sect in your eyes?! Do you still have the word morality?!"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, remained silent. He did not want to kill Xiao Kui, but when he saw Xiao Kui attacking Yi Xichen, he was furious and the sky fire came. If Xiao Kui was hit by the sky fire, he would definitely die, so he had nothing to say.

Yi Xichen was in a trance for a while after seeing the sky fire, but now he came to his senses and stood beside his eldest grandson Zijun: "Master, it was Xiao Kui who intended to hurt people first, and Zijun summoned the sky fire in a hurry to protect me. This matter is not entirely his fault."

Yuying Zhenren was still furious: "Xiao Kui wanted to hurt you, but he wanted to kill Xiao Kui! Yi Xichen, get out of the way, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

If it were any other disciple, they would have admitted their mistakes and retreated in the face of the headmaster's anger. However, Yi Xichen did not retreat, and still stood side by side with his eldest grandson, Zijun: "How do you define injury and death? Senior Brother Xiao did not hit me, and who knows if I would have died on the spot if he had hit me with that palm. The sky fire did not hit Senior Brother Xiao either, but maybe Senior Brother Xiao is gifted and is not afraid of the sky fire. Even if they are both unfinished things, how can we discuss them?"

This statement is obviously a farce. If Xiao Kui could kill Yi Xichen with one palm strike, why was he so ferocious in the competition with Yi Xichen just now? Xiao Kui is gifted and is not afraid of the sky fire? This is even more ridiculous! But this statement cannot be verified. You can't let the eldest grandson Zijun draw another sky fire to see if it can burn Xiao Kui to death, right?

The eldest grandson Zijun, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke and said lightly: "Xiao Kui just had murderous intent." He was so furious because he sensed Xiao Kui's murderous intent, otherwise the heavenly fire would not have been so easily summoned.

Xiao Kui took a step back and clenched his fists behind his back. He had really lost his composure just now. He was not so angry, but he had been fooled so much that he really showed his murderous intent. Zhang Sunzijun was not talking nonsense. At this moment, the anger had subsided a little, and his mood began to become complicated again.

The eldest grandson, Zijun, was beyond his expectation. Not only did he possess the enviable spiritual root, but he could even summon the heavenly fire! He was so powerful. No matter how he provoked him over the years, he never took action. But just now, in order to protect Yi Xichen... If he hadn't done those things at the beginning, perhaps at this moment, the person he was trying to protect should be himself.

Xiao Kui knew that the words he heard through the eavesdropping bug last night were deliberately told to him by Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun. But something said deliberately might not be completely false. For example, Xiao Kui thought about the reason why his eldest grandson Zijun entered the forbidden area without permission for a night and believed that it was true. He had already discovered over the years that his eldest grandson Zijun did not care about the jade pendant that he had stolen.

But now, the eldest grandson Zijun not only did not summon the heavenly fire to protect himself, but also summoned the heavenly fire to kill Yi Xichen... Xiao Kui clenched his fists even tighter, his eyes full of hatred.

When Master Yuying heard what Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun said, he thought they were just making excuses. He shouted, "Yi Xichen, get out of the way!"

Yi Xichen just wouldn't give in. If he was the one who made the mistake today, his eldest grandson, Zijun, would definitely stand in front of him and not give in. His loyalty was definitely no less than that.

"Master..." Qiu Jian called out softly. His mood was extremely complicated. One was his disciple whom he had taught for many years, and the other was a talent whom he loved and wanted to win over. Although he felt scared for Xiao Kui, he couldn't bear to see his eldest grandson Zijun being expelled from the mountain gate.

The situation was deadlocked for a moment, and Yuying Zhenren said coldly: "Okay, Yi Xichen, according to your opinion, Xiao Kui should be punished with the same crime as his eldest grandson Zijun. Both of them killed their fellow disciples and violated the rules of our Tianjian Sect, so they should be punished together!"

Xiao Kui was really unlucky today, he was almost burned to death and was sentenced to a serious crime. But this incident was indeed caused by him, and he couldn't find a word to defend himself.

"Master," Yi Xichen softened his tone, "Zijun must have learned the art of summoning heavenly fire from some master. He must have been unwilling to say it because the master didn't want him to reveal his identity. But he is still young, so it is reasonable that he can't control such a profound magic. I believe he definitely didn't mean to hurt anyone. And I was the one who provoked Senior Brother Xiao first, so I was also wrong. But the sword competition hasn't ended yet, why not wait until it's over before discussing right and wrong in detail?"

In fact, Yi Xichen knew that the reason why the eldest grandson Jun could use the heavenly fire was probably related to his strange demonic barrier, not necessarily some real expert. He fabricated a master just to scare Jade Master, so that she would think that the eldest grandson Jun had some backers behind him, and Jade Master might be wary. He also brought up the sword competition to buy time so that he could think carefully about the countermeasures.

These words actually moved Jade Ying Zhenren. He hesitated for a moment, looking uneasy, but agreed: "Okay. Then we will discuss your crimes after the ten rounds of competition today!"

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

He saw the Jade Immortal's sword unsheathed and suspended in midair. He stepped a little, jumped onto the sword, and flew away without even turning his head, not interested in watching the next few rounds of competition.

After Yuying Zhenren left, Qiu Jian also went back to continue supervising the battle. The match between Zhangsun Zijun and Lu Ziyao was scheduled for the eighth round, and it was still early.

Xiao Kui left in a huff, and the other disciples also retreated far away, keeping a distance from the eldest grandson Zijun cautiously, fearing that he would hurt them. The eldest grandson Zijun didn't care about those people at all, just staring at Xiao Kui's back, and whispered: "Xiao Kui is weird."

Yi Xichen said: "I seemed to see black gas coming out of his palm, but I didn't see it clearly. Don't you know what's strange about him?" His question was naturally intended to ask his eldest grandson Zijun whether there was anything related to Xiao Kui in the world that he knew because of the demonic barrier.

The eldest grandson Jun shook his head: "I don't know."

Yi Xichen was also puzzled. That didn't seem like a swordsman's technique. Could it be that Xiao Kui had another trick up his sleeve? If it was very powerful, why didn't he use it?

The eldest grandson Zijun said again: "The master treats you differently." Even though his IQ is not always online, he can see clearly everything about Yi Xichen. Just now, Yuying Zhenren obviously did not want to pursue Yi Xichen and asked him to leave.

Yi Xichen was even more puzzled: "I don't understand why he suddenly wanted to take me in as his apprentice. Did the guy from my old family take a fancy to me?"

Of course, he was joking. Although the eldest grandson Jun didn't take it seriously, he couldn't help but snorted softly.

Yi Xichen sighed: "Let's not worry about that for now, let's go find Master and ask him if he has any solution."

In the Tianjian Sect, killing a fellow disciple is a serious crime. If it was an unintentional mistake, it would be fine, but the eldest grandson Jun directly summoned the heavenly fire. If he was seriously investigated, he would definitely be expelled from the sect and might even be punished by having his cultivation level taken away.

The eldest grandson, Zijun, didn't care: "At worst, I can just leave Tianjianmen."

Yi Xichen smiled and said, "Okay, that's good. Then we can go out a few months earlier to help me find those Five Elements Heavenly Treasures. I can't wait! But Master will definitely be angry." - He had never thought about separating from his eldest grandson Zijun. If his eldest grandson Zijun left, he would definitely follow him.

The eldest grandson, Jun, did not think there was anything wrong with what Yi Xichen said, because he had the same idea as Yi Xichen.

The two of them did not waste any more time and hurried to the pharmacy to find some non-toxic medicine.
