Chapter 194 Fire Burns the World
A thousand years ago.
The fire in Ming County raged for several days, killing countless people and destroying countless fields and homes.
But they couldn't put out the fire no matter what they did.
They could only pray to the immortals they worshipped to send down a divine rain to save Ming County.
Their offerings were too meager, and no sect wanted them.
The divination gate couldn't bear it, so eight-year-old Fu Tu went with his master to the human world to set up a rainmaking array.
They rode on rain clouds and prayed for rain to fall again and again above Ming County, and as a result...
"Master, why is the fire still burning even after several heavy rains?" Fu Tu's young face was full of worry.
Elder Gua's expression was grave. "No wonder no sect was willing to come down to save Ming County. It turns out, this fire was..."
It is the divine fire revealed by heaven.
The divine fire cannot be extinguished with ordinary water. If there is no barrier to stop it, it will continue to spread until it burns everyone in the county to ashes before it can be extinguished.
Their divination skills were momentarily soft-hearted, and they unintentionally offended Tianxian!
"What should we do? The fire won't go out, they're going to be burned to death..." Fu Tu couldn't bear it.
Right now, countless people are running and hiding, their bodies scorched red in the high temperature, their hearts filled with immense pain as they watch as children and the elderly who couldn't escape die in the fire.
Black ashes flew everywhere, and Ming County was shrouded in the aura of death.
The prefect led the people to escape, but those who were slow to react perished in the fire.
They knelt down, crying and pleading for divine intervention, begging God to help them.
"This fire has already killed tens of thousands of people," the prefect cried out in despair.
"Even if we are homeless, we beg God to put out the fire, otherwise the neighboring county, and even the whole world, will suffer..."
"Please, God, take back your anger! I'll never steal Old Li's fruit again..."
Some even believe that it was their petty theft that angered God, who then sent down his fury to destroy Ming County.
At this moment, Ming County is like a living hell.
Even the flames of hell are not as cruel as this...
The divination elder shook his head. "We can still leave now. Let's go..."
Otherwise, if we really offend Tianxian, what will become of the Guamen sect in the future?
He still has thousands of disciples to protect.
On the ground, cries of agony, pleas for help, and the sounds of flames engulfing everything rose and fell, more terrifying than any hell on earth.
The people led by the prefect had just finished pleading when they had to get up and flee again, otherwise the fire would engulf them.
Fu Tu felt a pang of heartache. "Master, what will happen to them if we leave?"
No one in the cultivation world cares about them anymore. If he doesn't take action soon, the common people below will all be burned to death...
"But we can't offend Tianxian..." The divination elder hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Fu Tu understood. "Did they set fire to the people?"
The divination elder remained silent.
Fu Tu was filled with rage. He retorted, "Why should I? Shouldn't cultivators be compassionate and take it upon themselves to protect all living beings?"
Seeing that his master was still hesitating.
The eight-year-old boy did not hesitate to use his compass to create a barrier, isolating the fire and saving them.
The people were numb for a moment, then knelt on the ground and wept.
The divination elder closed his eyes, his heart filled with immense sorrow. "You're right, we should protect all living beings."
He took out a gourd and began to cast a spell.
The fire burning on the ground was continuously sucked into the gourd.
now.
Only then did the people believe that God had truly sent someone to save them.
They were not happy; everyone was grieving.
The immortals could have saved them with a little magic, but the efforts of tens of thousands of people still resulted in their deaths in the fire, leaving them homeless...
The divination elder put the gourd into his sleeve. "Fu Tu, let's go. Don't mention this to anyone."
In particular, their magical treasures are all very useful. If Tianxian takes a liking to them, they may not be able to keep them.
Seeing that the fire on the ground had disappeared, Fu Tu nodded with pity in his eyes, and then left with his master.
"Master, look! There's someone over there!"
"It's a child."
"She's quite clever; she actually knew to hide in the cellar..."
“Take him back, he’s quite pitiful.”

“After she woke up, she was very traumatized by what happened and didn’t even dare to go into the kitchen; I was the one who went there…”
Speaking of this, Fu Tu sighed slightly, "Fortunately, I raised her to adulthood, and my master named her Fu Ling."
Little Fuling dared not refine pills or touch fire; she could only learn some basic spells.
My senior brother reached the Nascent Soul stage in his teens, while Little Fuling is still hovering around the Foundation Establishment stage.
Although her cultivation level was low, no one dared to bully her.
Because she was a child protected by her senior brother, growing up hiding behind him.
No matter what others say, Fu Tu will protect her for the rest of his life.
"It sounds alright." Qingbao listened with great interest, then paused for a moment, "Huh? Why did Tianxian set fire to Ming County?"
Fu Tu's gaze was icy. "It was Qing Xuan's doing."
"Even a fool could guess that this bastard loves setting people on fire, but Ming County is an entire county..."
Qingbao felt horrified just thinking about it.
Tens of thousands of people died. Wasn't he afraid of karmic retribution?
“What does it matter if tens of thousands of people die, as long as it brings him benefits? In any case, mortals are like ants in his eyes…” Fu Tu’s tone was very soft, but it carried a hint of suppressed anger.
"Hoo—" Qingbao took two deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
Fu Tu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
"I suddenly feel that killing Qingxuan is too lenient on him."
Qingbao hid herself in the shadows, her mind racing with mischievous ideas.

After sunset.
Tang Chen felt a sharp pain in his dantian.
Forced to come to the dungeon, he coldly stared at Qingbao.
"Spit it out!"
Anyone would be unhappy to be controlled like this.
"Xiao Chen, be good and let us out." Qing Bao raised her little face, as if giving an order to a subordinate.
Tang Chen: Oh no! He's having another episode!
"Let you go? What will I do then?" She would be driven away by Tianxian as a traitor, and then her goal would be ruined.
Qingbao pondered, "It's sunset now, I'll be back before dawn."
Tang Chen: ? ? ?
"Back to the dungeon?"
That's a bit crazy!
Is she mentally sound? Why would she go out and then come back?
"That's right. If you don't believe me, you can follow me. If I run away, you can catch me anytime. Anyway, none of us can beat you."
Qingbao has big, innocent eyes.
Tang Chen was almost smitten by the cuteness.
When Qingbao pretends to be a child, she really does look like a simple and innocent one.
If she didn't have a magic array to threaten me...
"Thud—"
She opened the cell door, and Tang Chen said expressionlessly, "Go."
Qingbao smiled slyly, "Hehehe, it will be easier for us to do things if you unlock Futu's handcuffs."
"What do you want?" Tang Chen frowned. Was he really going to run away?
She immediately closed the cell door!
Don't even think about getting away!
Qingbao was stunned. "I can't come here for nothing. I have to go to Tianxian and buy some local specialties, okay?"
"What exactly do you want to do?!" Tang Chen was a little annoyed.
Things have come to this.
Qingbao threatened her by telling the truth!
She lowered her head menacingly, her tone wicked, "I want to destroy this Broken Sky Manifestation! If you dare to stop me, I'll kill you too!"
Snap.
The cell door opened.
Snap.
The handcuffs were removed.
Tang Chen's eyes lit up with excitement. "It's a deal, no backing out."
Fu Tu and Qing Bao stared at her in horror.
